Question

I'm trying to get an idea of how many people are out there right now working on their own software programs. I'm sure there are a lot of solo developers working on their own side projects whether they have full-time jobs or not. I don't want anyone to reveal any information about their project (unless you want to). Rather, I just want to get an idea of how many people are working on their own software projects.

Please only vote yes if you're working on your own project that you eventually imagine distributing as opposed to software just for yourself, or for school or something like that. I don't care if you plan to charge for it or if it's going to be free, so long as you plan on making it available to others.

Lastly, please only vote yes if you consider your program to be significant. This is hard to judge, but I would refrain from voting yes if you're reinventing the wheel, for instance.

None, I don't have the motivation to do programming. I've written a few small programs, but they're nothing impressive.

I just finished an interesting program in C# on request for my girfriend - here's what it does:

You put a passphrase in the program and it makes a folder in the same directory as the executable.

You put your files in the folder, and then run the program again. Now the folder disappears, its contents are zipped and encrypted with blowfish. This encrypted file goes to a random directory I made in C:\Windows just so its out of the way.

If you run the program again and enter the passphrase, the folder is decrypted and recreated for you to view and modify.

Nifty eh? I'm sure I could find some freeware solution to do it but this is very stripped down and exactly how I want it. It has no options at all.

Yeah she wanted this for her laptop to store certain media ;)

Hi

Working in a CRM apllication target for "Mercado Libre" (www.mercadolibre.com.mx). I really think that should be significant because ML has 25 millions, and there is no aplication to control sales made there. Of course not every user sales something there but counting with 5 countries I should be a very good market for the aplication.

Regards

I'm currently finishing a portfolio website for my girlfriends brother, and when I'm done with that I'm looking to make a couple of my previous projects available on sourceforge. I've also got a couple of side-projects lined up for the future too. Enough to keep me occupied for a few years :)

Provided a service (still working on) to provide a service to an existing older game and enhance the existing functionality

it's a free service to provide a lobby with four player support for an older game that only supported peer to peer connecting between two players

rather a significant update for the targeted community :)

So far it's not really a program, but last year I started on a DVD collector Website in PHP/MySQL but got sidetracked. I am gonna work on it again this fall. When it is complete however, since I am tempted to look into learning C# I plan to create a frontend piece of software that can manage and view the dvd collection from the external website.

Exiting cutting edge stuff huh!

Also something I wanna try to do is make little app that runs in the system tray that i can quickly choose some volume options. Mainly cause I have a SB Live card with the live drive so I have optical and composite connections in it, and I frequently alternate between em, so I wanna make something so I can quickly do it with having to open the volume control then goto into the SPDIF/Aux option then checkmark and apply.

hmmm

i've worked on a few things here and there in my own time

the only big project i ever did on my own was a social networking website where users could share ringtones

i got it up and running and ran a closed beta for a few people but shut it down after a couple months

i really just wanted to see how hard it would be to make a facebook type website.... turns out it isn't lol
