I built carbon ledger to make it easy for companies to build climate-conscious applications using their payments data. There's currently an explosion in fintech, climate-tech and SaaS companies who are adding climate features to their apps and Carbon Ledger will power these: Carbon neutral credit cards, Automated Scope 3 emissions calculations, Subscription offset programs and Other planet-friendly ideas!
My goal with Carbon Ledger is to make it easy to launch these features so they can drive behaviour change and educate consumers about climate change. Carbon Ledger brings a developer-friendly API and research-backed methodology to market so teams can focus on their users!
Carbon Interface is an API to generate carbon emissions estimates. Right now my API can calculate emissions for flights, driving, shipping and electricity generation.
In addition to making the estimates more robust, I am working on having the algorithms behind the estimates certified by international bodies to increase the trust of my API.
This is really cool, but limiting to the US for electricity is obviously not great. What plans do you have to expand outside the us/let us provide our own mixes? It would be interesting for example to show savings that could be achieved by switching from your current providers "mix" to self provided solar
Adding more regions electricity is on the priority list after certifying my flights and shipping estimates with their related emissions government bodies!
I made Carbon Interface to support the development of other fun project's I've been working on that require c02 estimates for common emitting activities. I decided to turn this into a service because other people in the industry asked to use this API for their projects.
Excited to hear your feedback and answer any questions!

I agree wholeheartedly with the idea of the display being wider. The traditional shape of a watch was that way because of the mechanism inside. Wearables, like the Apple Watch, should do away with the traditional watches form factor constraint.
I would like to see these devices progress to more of a band form factor with a wider and curved display to fit the contour of our wrist.
My quasi-educated guess is that Apple figures they have the best shot at wide acceptance -- particularly with the first model -- if it doesn't feel "weird" compared to other watches, and that that's informed a lot of design decisions.
I think a curved display could be pretty challenging. You write "the contour of our wrist," but the contour of your wrist and of mine probably aren't the same, right? So is the display flexible? Is it the same size for everyone? Will someone with a smaller wrist find the display "wrapping around" more than someone with a larger wrist? What interactions will be made better by such a curved display, and what interactions will be made worse by one? And is the tradeoff appropriate?
Just a quick insight.
I work with someone who runs a small online business selling health products over the web.
He swears by ffiver for SEO in addition to more well known techniques.
One way he found to legitimize his business was to buy Facebook likes, Youtube subscribers, and Twitter followers.
I consider this modern/social SEO. Having a social following as a business can legitimize it in other people's eyes. His business has about a 100:1 follower to following ratio, and ever since he purchases followers, hes had a large increase in real followers. This follows the herd mentality. People are more likely to follow your business and interact, if there is proof others have done so.
Hope this helps
At the end of the day, it all boils down to content. We're going through an age of amazing television, especially with AMC and HBO. Netflix needs to either provide GREAT content that they create, or they have to get HBO and AMC on board (which is pretty difficult).
I'm sure sports broadcasting rights are really ratcheted down, but It would be cool if they broke into the live streaming side of things. I'm sure they have the capacity to handle a football game or hockey game.
I like the idea.
The design could be cleaned up a bit, but you shipped and executed so props for that.
This could be huge for tutorials, esp with photoshop, coding, web dev tutorials.
Goodluck!
I've followed tutorials online, used Treehouse, and other services to learn online.
They are useful, but for me, there is one aspect missing: help.
I'm currently in university and If I have a question in class or during a study session, there is ALWAYS someone to help.
I get frustrated and discouraged when I'm following a class and don't understand anything, I search the web for help and can't find much to do with the exact topic I need help with. This in turn, makes me stop enjoying that class and can eventually lead to giving up.
It would be great for these online education providers to use an IM client, IRC room or something to facilitate student discussion for classmates to discuss lectures, ideas, and help each other.
