Dane Messall, a member of the Minneapolis design community, asked earlier today,

Flavor of the week? What about #startup of the week? Who will be hot next week?

I took a look around HackerNews and found some recent projects people have been working on and decided to link them up. The first one, Meteor, made it to the top of the front page news over there, and it looks pretty useful, so it has my vote for #startupoftheweek.

Meteor is a realtime JavaScript framework.

Meteor is a set of new technologies for building top-quality webapps in a fraction of the time, whether you're an expert developer or just getting started.

DropDock is a simple way to send files.

The easiest & fastest way to send a file! Drag. Drop. Sent.

SuperPipes is a better YahooPipes.

This is a Yahoo! Pipes equivalent built with Superfeedr, hosted on Heroku. We built that just in case Y! decides to "sunset" pipes as well...

Here is what it does:
- Agregate feeds
- Displays the agregate (Atom, Json or HTML)
- Also, it's realtime, and can be tweaked in any way you want to fit your needs!

APIjobs - a job board for people with API skills.

In my spare time to remind myself that I could actually build stuff (and learn some Python, Flask, Redis, etc) I put together a simple job board to feature the best jobs in the API industry. The jobs can be either building APIs at companies like Twilio, Box, Stripe, etc. or integrating them. In addition to featuring those jobs, I'm also aggregating API jobs from GitHub Jobs, Stack Overflow Careers 2.0, and 37signals Job Board.
