There is also one or two that are not listed which I’ll talk about. (2) One of the most obvious other projects to JBidwatcher users is My JBidwatcher. It has its own configuration tab in JBidwatcher, and it’s pretty far along in terms of features. Unfortunately I’ve not implemented the ‘Add Auction’ command in My JBidwatcher yet, nor the ability to send snipes back to your desktop JBidwatcher instance. All the capabilities to do it are in place, I just haven’t seen enough interest from users to implement it. My JBidwatcher gets a very small number of occasional users, although it’s been invaluable in helping me debug JBidwatcher, especially recently with the ‘null’ priced items problems. You can link My JBidwatcher to your desktop app just by entering your account information (user name and password) into the JBidwatcher ‘My JBidwatcher’ configuration. I really want to make it work better, but I’ve not gotten a confident feel that folks want that capability, or what folks would like from a web interface to JBidwatcher, so I’m unsure about spending time working on it as opposed to other projects. (3, 4) As for Hacker’s Health (and the iPhone companion app Health Hacker)… Heh! In 2007 as part of learning Ruby on Rails, I built a health tracking application for myself. I still use it, and I’d love others to see it, but it needs some cleanup before that happens. Fast forward to 2010, when I built an iPhone application around communicating with Google Health, and storing stuff in their data format (which is crazy complex, because it had to support health data vaults, essentially). Then I started working for Google, and put it on hold, because they were talking about doing one themselves and I didn’t want to step on any toes… Now that I’m not working for Google anymore, and Google Health has sadly gone away, I’ve revived it and updated my web application and have started making the two of them talk to each other. This project is lots of fun to build, and very useful as every time I actually put focus on my health it gets better. (5) One of the last of my publicly acknowledged projects, MacBidwatcher is an application I’m actively working on.
