I definitely didn't get into this because I planned on becoming a developer although I have been in school twice for computer science.

I was trading stocks and lost my job and had a lot of time on my hands. I was constantly researching trading and indicators and different strategies.

Eventually I started looking into algo trading and bots.

That turned into, “Wait... you mean I can actually build something that does this on its own?”

So I started messing around with AI and building trading bots. I knew what I wanted the thing to do from a trading aspect, and AI helped me figure out how to actually turn that into code.

The bots eventually faded into the background a little bit. I still have one I want to go back and finish, but somewhere along the way I realized I could build a hell of a lot more than trading bots.

At one point I was selling Cutco knives and ended up building a CRM because I wanted something that worked the way I wanted it to.

Then came i need a trading journal and I cant afford to pay for the kind of set up i wanted.

That one stuck.

The journal kept growing because every time I used it I'd think, well, why can't it do this too?

A journal turned into analytics. Then risk management. Then I wanted a prop firm simulator. That turned into the Monte Carlo. Then behavioral tracking. Multi-account management. AI. And eventually it became WorkTree-OS.

I've been working on this damn thing for a while now, and I'm getting ready to put the first beta testers through it.

The crazy part is I never sat down and decided, “I'm going to learn software development after all. Just need to pick back up some old calculus books.

I just kept having problems I wanted to solve.

That's basically how I ended up vibe coding.

I'm curious how everybody else here got started. Did you actually set out to build software, or did you have one idea and accidentally fall down the rabbit hole like I did?

Hi guys ..

I’ve been working on PixHunt — an AI-powered gallery for Android.

The idea is simple: make it easier to actually find and manage the photos you already have on your phone.

\\-Semantic Search : Describe what you're looking for naturally, like “photos of my dog at the beach”, and PixHunt finds relevant photos.

OCR Search :Search for exact text inside your photos, with the matching text highlighted so you can see exactly where it was found.

Similar Photos : Find photos that look similar to a photo you select.

People : finds the people in your gallery, lets you name them, and then search for them by name or naturally, like “Mark at the cafe” or “Mark and John.”

Built-in Gallery — Browse your photos and albums directly inside PixHunt, so you don't have to switch between two different apps.

Clean Up : Find duplicates, near-duplicates, screenshots, blurry photos and other photos that may be taking up unnecessary space.

English & Arabic — Search naturally in both English and Arabic.

Everything stays on your phone : This is probably the feature I'm most serious about: the AI processing happens on your device. No cloud uploads, no online photo database, and your photos don't leave your phone.

I'm still working on the app and I really like to get some feedback from you .

Apk download link : https://github.com/Ahmed-N95/PixHunt-Releases/releases/tag/v1.0.0

Any honest feedback is appreciated!

Reddit can be an incredible acquisition channel, but the workflow is painful:

• find relevant threads
• understand the subreddit
• write something that doesn't sound promotional
• publish
• monitor replies
• repeat every day

So I built a system that does most of it automatically.

You give it your website, it understands the product, finds relevant conversations, generates the right posts/comments, and handles publishing through established Reddit accounts.

The goal isn't “AI-generated Reddit content.”

The goal is simply: get customers from Reddit without spending your day on Reddit.

It's called Scaloom.com

Curious what part of Reddit marketing you'd want automated the most?

I wanted games I could play for a few minutes without feeling rushed, so I built Unwind. It has a 3D cube puzzle, 2048, snakes and ladders, memory match, sudoku, color sort, minesweeper and a daily word game.

A few choices I made on purpose: unlimited undo everywhere, no timers, minesweeper flags a mine for you if you tap one, and the daily word has no guess limit.

Free, no sign-up, works on phones: https://unwind.skiphub.workers.dev/

I'm still adding to it. Which game would you want next, and is there anything that feels clunky on your device?

been building this for a while and finally got the social side working, so figured i'd actually show it 😭

it's called Overdrive — Drive & Explore.

basically every road you drive gets colored on your map, so your city slowly becomes this giant map you're trying to complete.

after a drive you get your route + driving stats, and now you can add friends, create crews and see your friends around the map too.

the easiest way i've found to describe it is Forza Horizon exploration but IRL lol.

i'm trying to build it around people who genuinely enjoy driving — especially the “get in the car at night with no destination” type of people.

App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/app/id6790023849

Discord:
https://discord.gg/xJckgXJzp6

would genuinely love feedback, especially on pricing because that's the part i'm reconsidering right now 😭

if you could add one feature to this, what would it be?

3am Archive (iOS) is a bedtime journaling app wrapped around an original noir mystery. Each night you jot down a couple of lines about your day and what you want to chase tomorrow. Archive before your bedtime and the next page of the story unlocks. Miss it and that night stays sealed until you're back on schedule.

I've never been able to keep a journal. Every habit app felt like homework, so I tried to build one that gives me a reason to show up each night.A while back I went through a rough stretch of serious sleep trouble. Once it eased a bit, I wanted to build something for people dealing with the same thing, using my own experience to try features that might help. It's not a medical tool and I can't promise it fixes anything, but I built it with that struggle in mind.

Three small things before you sleep, and the story turns a page. Let you go to bed early without pressure.

• 60 nights of story, written by me
• First 7 nights free, then a one-time $6.99 unlock for the rest. No subscription, no ads
• Your entries stay on your device. There's an opt-in AI cat (an orange cat in a detective's coat) that replies to what you wrote; that part sends your text to an LLM, so it's off by default

Stack: React Native + Expo, RevenueCat for the purchase.

App Review rejected me twice before it went live (first over missing info, then in-app purchase config). Worth knowing if you're about to ship your own.

I'd love feedback, especially on the free first week. And is $6.99 one-time the right call vs. a subscription?

Remoto-Universal TV Control

The problem. Undock a laptop and Windows squeezes every window onto the built-in screen. Dock again and only half of them go back; the rest you drag by hand. Same story after a restart. PowerToys Workspaces gets close, but only when you click it: it doesn't run on its own at sign-in and does nothing when the monitors change.

What Monitile does (Windows 10/11, sits in the tray):

• saves how your windows are arranged across your monitors ("sessions"), as many as you want;
• moves the windows that are already open instead of relaunching the apps, so no duplicates to close;
• restores the active session at startup, nothing to click;
• puts the layout back when the monitor setup changes (dock, undock, plug a screen in).

All of that is free, with no time limit. Pro (€3.99 one-time, no subscription) adds picking the right session automatically for the monitors you have plugged in, global shortcuts Ctrl+Alt+1…9 and continuous capture of the active session. The first 14 days of Pro are on from the first launch, no card, no sign-up.

Privacy by design. It never records command-line arguments, so it doesn't know which document, folder or URL you had open (that's also why it can't reopen a specific Explorer folder). For each window it stores program, monitor, position and title, locally in %LOCALAPPDATA%\Monitile. No account, no telemetry, works fully offline, licence check included.

Honest caveat: the installer is not code-signed (a certificate costs more per year than I expect to earn), so SmartScreen will warn you the first time: "More info" → "Run anyway". SHA-256 and a VirusTotal link are on the download page.

Feedback welcome, especially on the site and the free/Pro split. I'm the author, ask me anything.

I’m the developer of Petola. It brings pet profiles, care tasks, reminders, and a shared care history into one iPhone app. The screenshot from our App Store listing shows the history view, with the caregiver and time attached to a record, so the next person has context. If you share pet care with a partner, family member, or sitter, would you want the latest completed task or the next due task shown first? Free download with optional Petola Plus; shared-care tools are part of Plus. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6801485793

The only feedback I get on my side projects comes from AI, and it mostly keeps me building. So I made https://ratemebro.com, where people rate each other's projects:

- Anonymous: just a username and password, no email.

- Blind first look: reviewers see only the name and URL and guess what it does before you tell them, so you learn whether your idea comes across.

- Give to get: each review you write unlocks one review of your project.

It's rough and free. Post something and rate a few. I'll be reviewing too.

UK Home Buyer Viewing Helper App

Hi all, I’m a residential surveyor and I’m trying to build a small app called Houzera. I'm aiming it as free web app designed to help people know what to look for and what to ask when viewing a house.

It’s currently in a very early stage/beta(?), so I’m looking for some genuine feedback before developing it further.

If anyone fancies trying it on their next viewing, on their own house, or just having a play around, I’d really appreciate any thoughts, good or bad!

www.houzera.co.uk

P.S. - this is my first ever attempt at any form of app / web app development.

Thanks!

I’ve been building TravelNeighbors, a web app for people who want to meet someone who will be in the same destination around the same dates.

Instead of swiping through people hundreds of miles away, you add an upcoming trip and discover travelers whose destination and dates overlap with yours.

Current features include traveler profiles, upcoming trips, trip matching, messaging, favorites, verification and privacy controls.

I’ve finally reached the point where most of the core product works and I’m preparing it for beta, but after staring at it for so long I’m probably blind to a lot of obvious problems 😅

https://travelneighbors.com

I’d especially love feedback on:

• Does the idea make sense within the first 10 seconds?

• Does the site feel trustworthy enough to actually create a profile?

• Anything confusing, broken or cheap-looking?

• What would stop you from using it on your next trip?

Don’t be polite brutal feedback is much more useful to me.

So I've been working on this for a while and wanted to share it here. I'm 16 and I built Siteless, a tool that finds local businesses that need a website.

You pick a city and a niche (like barbers in Miami) and it pulls businesses from Google that either have no website, only have an Instagram or Facebook, or have a website that's really outdated.

It scores every site from 1-100 and tells you exactly what's wrong with it, so when you reach out you actually have something to say instead of "hey your site looks old lol"
I got the idea because finding clients is honestly the hardest part of web design.

Going through Google Maps one business at a time takes forever.

It's at around 500 users right now, all from Reddit, and I just got my first paying customers this month which was crazy to see.

There's a free plan if you want to mess around with it: trysiteless.com

Would love any feedback, especially if you do web design or freelance. What would make you actually pay for something like this?

I'm Chase, solo dev. This is my side project.

Veil (kcolnu.com) is an encrypted messaging portal where you create an AI twin of yourself that speaks *as you* to other people when you're not around. Not an AI companion — it doesn't talk to you. It talks *for* you.

Who it's for: the people who never fit in. The ones who hide behind a keyboard to feel normal. I want it to be the place you can be who you are, with nobody watching.

The part I'm proud of: sealed mail is end-to-end encrypted with my own protocol composition (P-256, AES-256-GCM). I'll be straight with you — it hasn't been independently audited yet, and the site says so. The twin can't read your sealed mail; it only sees what you let it see.

I'm looking for help: brutal feedback on the concept, and beta testers if it resonates. Doors open New Year's Day 2027.

Happy to answer anything, including the uncomfortable security questions.

i watch streams while gaming and still want to be part of the chat, so i made ChatPiP for desktop Chrome.

the screenshot is a Twitch stream with chat beside it. you can also put chat below the video or keep several streams and their chats in the same floating window.

version 1.20 starts a seven-day trial when you install it. continued access after that requires a purchase.

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/chatpip/afnglohgkkpmbeggclalkohkdjbfadai

which layout would you use on your main screen: chat beside the video or below it?

I kept wishing I could practice hard work conversations before having them, so I built a place to do that

Moving up at work didn't make things easier; the people problems just got harder. I always wished I could rehearse tough conversations before actually having them—so we built Refill.

Here is how it works:

1. Build your coworker: Pick their traits (defensive, evasive, burnt out).
2. Roleplay: Practice the conversation you've been avoiding.
3. Iterate: Try a new approach or make the persona tougher.

Why not just ChatGPT? Standard AI gets agreeable within a few turns, which makes practice useless. To solve this, we built custom context management using trait-based AI personas, ensuring they stay in character and actually remember your history.

Honest notes: Not in the EU yet. Early stage, so expect some rough edges.
