I’m rewriting an app/service I wrote for my university. It monitors the uptime of our transportation system and notifies users when it’s experiencing problems so they can make alternate transportation plans for class. Written in Go with a native Android client.

I’ve also been rewriting my own website to use Hugo for ease of updating it and seldom blogging.

Finally, I’ve been finishing up a large overhaul and relaunch of a social analytics service for Vine. Written in Go and hosted on Google App Engine. I’m not even going to bother linking the github repository as it’s very out of date with my local branches.

For the past month or so, I’ve been working on Davine. Davine is an open-data, open source, and ad-free analytics platform for Vine (Twitter’s social media network based on 6-second video posts). Davine crawls Vine and automatically adds users to our queue of users to crawl daily. I could really use some help with it as this is the first time I’m using Google’s App Engine and exclusively Go for the entire project. Feel free to submit a pull request with whatever you see fit and I’ll pull it into prod.

I’m working on a social analytics site written purely in Go with the help of MongoDB. Will be FOSS and ad free. I’m actually really happy with the progress so far.

I’m also working on a monitoring app for my University’s rail system known as the PRT (Personal Rapid Transit). Will alert users on their Google Glass, Android phone, Android Wear, or Pebble if the PRT goes down and the students need to find alternative transportation. Currently written in Go for the server and using Google Cloud Messaging to send the alert payload to users. Also FOSS and can be found on my Github: https://github.com/AustinDizzy/prtstatus-go for the server and https://github.com/AustinDizzy/prtstatus-java for the client. I’m a little new to Go in production and persistent DB connections, so if anyone sees any room for improvement please feel free to submit a pull request.
