Every so often, we have an internal hack day. This can mean different things, but this time around we broke off into teams to build applications on the Singly platform. We started off the morning with problem/solution pitches from everyone on the team, and then narrowed down to three popular projects. Here’s what we’re building today:

AfterLife (Temas + Beau)
Problem: Too much noise in my feeds across services
Solution: Present feed in a visually appealing way with basic info from each post. I can drag each post up to “heaven” or down to “hell.” I can later see if lots of posts from a specific user went to hell, in which case I may want to remove that person from my social graph.
Foodie Follower (Tyler + Kristján)
Problem: Too many great restaurants. Yelp doesn’t help me see where people whose opinions I trust are eating out.
Solution: Select a set of people in your network whose food preferences you trust, and see the restaurants where they check in, post photos, etc.
Do I know? (Simon, Jer, Sash)
Problem: I receive hundreds of non-spam emails each day. I need a way to know if I know the people who are emailing me.
Solution: A lightweight email app. I click a “Do I Know?” button, and the app checks all my networks, and pops up a red or green light next to each. If I get a red light on each service, I likely don’t know the person.
Check back later for updates on the progress of our apps. And, while you’re here, sign up for our $10,000 App Challenge:
