NANY 2020 Wrap-up

[mouser]

Since 2007 we have held an annual event that we call NANY (New Apps for the New Year), where we ask the coders who hang out on DonationCoder to create some new piece of free software and share it with the world on January 1st of the new year.

NANY is one of the most fun things we do on this site, and it's one of the few times we can all play together.  There are no winners or losers, it's simply a celebration of programming and creating new software and sharing it with the world.  You can target any operating system (desktop or mobile) or even make a web-based tool.  It can be a game, utility, large application, whatever.  DC takes makes no claim on your software, it's just an event to encourage you to share a creation with others.  Best of all, everyone who participates gets a free commemorative coffee mug.

Thank you everyone who participated for a wonderful event!!! We had some really interesting entries this year.  Some of the entries are polished professional caliber apps, and many are just hobby creations not quite ready for public use.  Read on for the full list..


Mousers Media Browser v2 by mouser
There are lots of utilities for browsing collections of images/photos.  Mouser's Media Browser is one such tool, but one with a very unique and cool feature.  In addition to browsing the recursive contents of directories, MMB scans your files and creates a virtual date hierarchy, organized by year, date, and optionally day of the month.  This lets you scan a huge collection of photos and easily explore them by date.  MMB is very flexible in how the images are displayed, and comes with some very easy to use filters based on filename patterns and file ages.  Watch the video for a look at how it works..

Congratulation to everyone who participated!

Let me know if I missed anyone.. If you create a video for your app and upload it to youtube let me know and I'll link to it.

Participants should be receiving an email soon asking for info so I can send you out your DonationCoder NANY participant mug, etc.

Thanks for making it an interesting year of entries!

Again, I failed to finish my most impressive two projects in quite some time. But I have already worked on one of them today... 

Thank you, all (other) participants - the results are awesome as always!

I don't know why this app wasn't submitted as part of NANY, dcmember r0bertdenir0's app Pandemonium:
https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=48841

If you have tried apps like noisli or brain.fm, you know what Pandemonium is about.
I work in an open plan office & it can be hard to get into the zone when there are ad-hoc conversations going on.
Noise cancelling headphones are good for low frequency noise but not so good at voices.
What I've found works for me is non-vocal sounds.
Natural sounds like rain, birds, running water, soft classical music (I like Gymnopedie by Satie) work especially well for me.
Services like noisli give you a fixed set of options to choose from.

Pandemonium lets you create a playlist of any number of audio files (anything supported by the IrrKlang library).
You can then simultaneously play all the streams over each other, setting volume on each stream.
I've found it really helpful for focusing & hope it might be useful to others.
It's probably best used with headphones, but that's up to you.

May be he did not get proper time at the end. Maybe knock on his door (personal message) will give some response.

Contribute to NANY by coding something and you'll find out.

What Deozaan is saying is that in general we don't sell the NANY mugs, we give them out for free to the coders who make the apps..
