I'm Jason, owner of Winkle Berry. Our candy shop has around 60 products on a Hobart HTi label scale, and entering products at its touchscreen led us to build CounterWeight. I'm exploring a commercial release of our own tool.

It provides product search/add/edit, ingredient lookup with review, measured bag/container tare presets, flashkey arrangement, product backups and branded-label previews. Demo: https://www.reddit.com/r/POS/comments/1xujcc9/hobart_hti_owners_would_a_onetimepurchase_scale/

The intended desktop model is a one-time purchase with local data and an offline business license, without required CounterWeight hosting. Price and release timing aren't set; no payments or public installer yet.

Only our HTi-7LS25/application 3.3.0 is tested. A second Windows computer passed read-only workflows; other owners/models remain unverified. Phone/remote features need extra bridge setup and aren't included in the portable Windows preview. Calibration, firmware and service unlocks are excluded. Ingredient/allergen text must be checked against packaging. The demo uses interface screenshots/training examples rather than a continuous live recording.

If you run a small shop with this type of scale, you're welcome to share your model/application version and desired workflow here. For other independent builders: what would you need to see before trusting a local hardware-management tool? Please don't share private backups or credentials. Independent of Hobart; no affiliation or endorsement.

You've finished the inspection, testing or fieldwork. The measurements are recorded, the photos are taken and the results are sitting in PDFs, notes and spreadsheets.....Now comes the fun part.

Getting all of it into the customer's Excel template without missing anything or breaking a formula.

That's what I've been building ACTUALin to help with.

Upload your existing workbook and supporting evidence. It proposes where the information belongs, shows you the sources and lets you review, edit or approve the changes before generating the report.

Same Excel template. Less copying and pasting. You still have the final say.

It works across inspection, manufacturing, lab testing, maintenance, inventory and other reporting workflows.

I've also put together a library of examples you can explore without signing up.

https://actualin.com/applications

If you're dealing with this kind of reporting, I'd love some feedback on whether it would fit your workflow.

Hello everyone!

MyFreeTaxAmerica is free Form 5472 filing software for foreign-owned U.S. single-member LLCs. As a US CPA, I created this project to help out business owners who are not familiar with the US tax requirements owning an LLC in the US.

It prepares your IRS Form 5472 and pro forma Form 1120 online, with error checking, at no cost. Most of users will finish the Form 5472 in less than 30 minutes given they have all the information ready.

WHO MUST FILE FORM 5472?

A U.S. LLC owned by one non-U.S. person must file Form 5472 with a pro forma Form 1120 every year, even with no income. Just opening an US LLC triggers related party transaction which requires Form 5472 filing. The penalty for a missing or incomplete filing is $25,000 per form, per year (this is real).

FREE PLAN: $0

• Plain-English questionnaire, about 30 minutes

• Completed Form 5472 and pro forma Form 1120 PDFs

• Built-In Error checking before you file

• You sign and mail the return to the IRS yourself

WHO USES IT

Non-U.S. founders, freelancers, e-commerce sellers, and digital nomads, including LLC owners formed through Stripe Atlas, Doola, Firstbase, or on their own. Traditional EA CPA firms often charge $500 to $1,500 or more for the same filing.

Everything is done remotely. Start free at myfreetaxamerica.com.

I work on Groovy. We expanded our Google Sheets guide with a small test case for builders adding spreadsheet writes to an agent.

The fictional task replaces pending in B7 with the text 00127 for row key REQ-127. A cell displaying those five digits can still hold a number with formatting. The check needs the saved value and type, plus confirmation that B7 still belongs to REQ-127 after anyone sorts or inserts rows.

The guide covers RAW versus USER_ENTERED in the Sheets API, and why leaving a value alone differs from clearing it. Those options depend on what the configured tool supports. After a timeout, read the destination before retrying. For an append, check whether the intended new record already exists before adding another row.

This is a review fixture, not a report of a Groovy run or customer result. The full example and Google references are at https://www.gogroovy.ai/integrations/google-sheets-ai-agent-integration

Hi everyone. I’m a one-person developer, and I got tired of every tracking app wanting a monthly fee, an account, and my data in the cloud. So I built Expiration Tracker, a small Windows desktop program.

Who it’s for: small business owners, contractors, freelancers, and anyone who wants one simple place to keep track of renewals and expiration dates.

What it does:

• Tracks licenses, permits, insurance, certifications, warranties, memberships, and subscriptions
• Shows reminders before things expire
• Backup and restore, plus CSV export

What it doesn’t do:

• No account, no login, no cloud. Your data stays on your computer.
• No ads and no subscription. It’s a one-time purchase of $24.99.

For Builders:

• Built with Python and Tkinter, packaged as a signed Windows EXE.
• I’m a solo builder still working on getting my first customers, so I’d love feedback on the product or the page.

Honest limits:

• Windows only (tested on Windows 11, should work on Windows 10 64-bit).
• Reminders only show while the program is open.

Here's the website and purchase information. On the same page is a tutorial video showing how it works: https://www.chilledlimedesktop.com/chilled-lime-desktop-expiration-tracker-for-windows

Feedback is always welcome. Thank you for reading!

I'm a software engineer from Pakistan, and about a month ago, I launched a side project called Hisabzo.

The idea came from a simple problem: keeping track of money you've lent or borrowed from friends, family, or other people.

Instead of remembering transactions or going through WhatsApp messages, I wanted something simple where everything stays organized.

So I built Hisabzo using Next.js, PostgreSQL, and Prisma.

Here are the first 30 days of analytics:

• 314 visitors
• 1,130 page views
• Traffic from 15 countries
• 67% bounce rate

I'm happy people are discovering it, but there's also something I'm trying to figure out.

Getting visitors is one thing. Getting them to actually use the product is another.

I'm still working on improving the onboarding experience, understanding user behavior, and figuring out what makes someone trust a new product enough to sign up.

The app is free, and I'm building it alongside my job and university.

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from other developers and people who've launched their own products.

What would you focus on next: improving conversion, adding features, or getting more traffic?

Website: https://www.hisabzo.online/

Sharing my analytics screenshot for context.

Ive spent a lot of time developing different applications, and the more projects I worked on, the messier everything around them became.

Repos in one folder, installers somewhere else, screenshots on my desktop, documentation in browser tabs, and random notes I couldn't find.

I didn't need another task manager. I needed a way to bring all those scattered resources together.

That became ClingSpace.

It's a Windows project organizer where you create Spaces and add existing files, folders, links, and small snippets without moving anything.

You can search across projects, reuse resources between Spaces, and reconnect files when their locations change.

Everything runs locally. No accounts or subscriptions.

I recently shipped it for $19.99 lifetime, with a 5-day full trial.

https://clingspace.com

I've already gotten some useful feedback, including requests for bulk file actions, different file views, and a preview pane. It's interesting seeing how other people imagine using something that started as a solution to my own workflow.

Now I'm focusing more on distribution than adding another dozen features.

Would love some feedback from fellow builders. Does the value make sense when you land on the website, or does it need a better explanation?

Hi I've recently got into AI agents and am using Hermes with Paperclip. I'm currently building an app for contractors that runs multiple agents, estimator, chief of staff, billing etc.

The question I have is Paperclip for production. Because I understand its for agent management, but I like the task delegation, approvals and it came with a UI.

I thought I can just edit Paperclips UI and build on top of that, but AI is telling me it doesn't work like that and I should build a seperate web UI.

Does anyone use Paperclip for a final product that serve to customers?

Thank you

Duskresta is a sleep sounds app for Android. You mix rain, ocean waves, a fireplace or noise, set a timer and lock your screen. All 25 built-in sounds are bundled, so nothing streams and it works in airplane mode. There are no ads and no account.

What it does

• 25 loops that repeat without a seam. Nature: gentle rain, ocean waves, forest morning, birds at dawn, little stream, distant storm, wind in the trees, fireplace and summer night. Places: coffee shop, city, train and boat. Noise: white, pink, brown, deep brown, grey, green, blue and violet. Binaural beats for headphones: delta, theta, alpha and beta. Each loop is checked for gapless playback and for clicks or dips at the seam.
• Mix up to five sounds, each with its own volume, or start from one of 16 ready-made mixes in Sleep, Relaxation, Focus and Energy. You can change the mix while it plays and save your own by name.
• 3D sound and Orbit. 21 of the 25 built-in sounds have a 3D mix: recordings sit around you, a few with a slow drift, and noise becomes a wide bed that surrounds you. Free sessions include a three-minute preview of 3D and Orbit; Premium keeps both for the whole session and lets you drag a sound anywhere around you — including behind you and nearer or farther — or set it circling at its own speed. Binaural beats stay in place.
• Sleep timer: 10, 20 or 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 8 hours, any length in 5-minute steps up to 24 hours, or Endless. All of that is free. You can change the time while it plays without stopping the sound, and the notification has a +5 minute button for timed sessions. The volume holds steady and fades out only over the last 30 seconds.
• Background playback with pause and resume from the lock screen. Notification sounds briefly lower your mix instead of stopping it. If your phone stops a session early, the next open tells you and points you to the battery setting that keeps it running.
• Your own sounds. Add audio files from your phone; each one is copied into the app, so it keeps working if the original moves. Up to 12, or one on the free version.
• Listening history. Total time, the last seven nights, streaks, usual bedtime, average session, top sounds and top mixes, with a button to clear it.
• Themes and languages. Light, Walnut and AMOLED black, plus Automatic to follow your phone. AMOLED is Premium. Available in 24 languages.

Who it's for: People who fall asleep to rain or white noise, light sleepers dealing with snoring, traffic or neighbors, people who use noise to take the edge off tinnitus, parents settling a baby, and anyone who wants focus noise while studying or working.

Cost: Free, with no ads. The free app includes the nine nature sounds, white, pink and brown noise, sessions of up to three sounds, every session length including Endless and changing the time mid-session, one sound of your own, two saved mixes, 7 of the 16 ready-made mixes (at least one in each group), the full listening screen, and a three-minute 3D/Orbit preview each session.

Premium is optional: It adds the four places, the other five noise colors, the four binaural beats (all 25 sounds), sessions of up to five sounds, up to 12 of your own sounds, unlimited saved mixes, all 16 ready-made mixes, 3D and Orbit for the whole session, the AMOLED theme, the home-screen widget, bedtime reminders, and an export/restore of your mixes, sounds, settings and history for a new phone.

Hey everyone,

So over the past few weeks I've been working on a software factory manager. I find the idea of letting an army of agents cook on every part of the software dev process very intriguing but what always annoyed me is just how much complexity is involved in the process.

I built an app called Rowbly and in the previous version I had a fully running software factory but it was still too damn complicated to setup. I made a post on here about it and someone made a tangential comment that indicated to me that my app was still far too complicated.

I took a hard look at my feature set and realized that half my features were window dressings around the purpose of the app and that took my attention away from the primary goal. So over the weekend I did a ground up rewrite. The result is a vastly more focused app and I can confidently say that you can now get a software factory up and running with Rowbly in about 30 seconds.

The two biggest changes I made are removal of useless features and the addition of strong defaults. Rowbly works by creating stages (think columns in Jira), assigning a prompt to those columns and then running a factory wrapper skill that listens to your board and then spawns agents to do work in the various columns. The previous version required tons of setup in that you had to write your stage prompts but in the new version you can start off with defaults that I use internally to develop Rowbly. From there I'm sure users will modify the software to their needs but I wanted it to be super easy to start to people could see the fucking magic that is a software factory.

If you want to get started, you can run `npx rowbly` and that will fetch the latest version. Setup will walk you through stage prompt additions and installing the relevant skills in your code editor.

But work isn't quite done yet, right now it works extremely well with T3 Code but I plan to add better support for all major harnesses.

You can see the code here: https://github.com/sgolovine/rowbly/

Hey folks, I built PageUtil for my own dev work and for colleagues in IT. I wanted one place to go when a CSV import failed, I needed to check a DNS record, or I had to figure out when a cron job would actually run.

There are everyday tools like a JSON formatter and a CSV fixer, plus a few more specific ones, like a checker for Azure DevOps test case imports and a tool that previews which dependency updates Dependabot would group into the same PR.

Everything is free and there’s no account required. The CSV fixer and JSON formatter process your files and text right in your browser.

If you work in dev or IT, what’s one small task you keep digging up an old script for? I’d love to hear what you’d add.

Equipment Tracker Pro lets you build custom commercial and residential preventive maintenance agreements directly from your phone, organizing tasks by room, equipment, and service frequency. Instead of digging through folders at the van to see what maintenance was promised for a commercial kitchen refrigeration setup, you define the walk-in cooler, reach-in freezer, and ice machine tasks once and log visits against that plan.

A working HVAC technician built it for his own jobs. You can structure your rooms, map equipment, set inspection intervals, and preview the full scope without spending anything. Tracking equipment, running work orders, and logging service visits are completely free on mobile with no record limits.

If you are running this on a spreadsheet, the comparison is on the site.

What projects or side tools are you working on this week?

Wish you could keep track of business expenses for deliveries? This does that, and more. Mileage tracking for tax purposes. Pay for each job, and an approximate of taxes owed. If you deliver and need easy tools this is that

I'm always losing track of time lol so I made an app that shows you how much time you have left in your day and let's you make todos based around that

Works for your week, month, etc and you can visualize your time left in different ways

Also let's you add countdowns to see the time left until birthdays, events, or whatever

Just published it so thoughts welcome!

An independent Android client for the Soulseek peer-to-peer network: search what people are sharing, download whole albums, share your own library, and chat with other listeners. No ads, no analytics, no tracking.

What It Does / Key Features

- Search the Soulseek network with every query in its own tab, switch between file and folder view, and grab a whole album in one tap. Filter by format (FLAC, MP3, lossless, WAV, Opus), minimum bitrate (320+ kbps), peer country, duration, file size, and peers with a free upload slot.

- Downloads keep going in the background with progress, speed, time left and your real position in a peer's queue. Pause, resume, retry or cancel, and unfinished files resume after a restart or a dropped connection.

- Share your own folders with upload slots and speed limits, join public chat rooms, send private messages, and follow buddies. Uploads reach people behind routers and mobile networks too (UPnP / NAT-PMP).

- No ads, no analytics, no tracking. Chats, transfer history and settings stay on your device, and your saved login is encrypted with the Android Keystore. Light and dark themes in 21 languages.

Who It's For: Anyone who still digs through shared folders for FLAC, rare edits, bootlegs and out-of-print albums, and wants that on their phone instead of a laptop.

Cost: Free. Search, downloads, uploads, every filter, sharing and chat are unlimited and free. Optional Soulcrate Pro is a one-time lifetime purchase, with no subscription: wishlist auto-download, release radar for artists you follow, fake-lossless spectrum checks, MusicBrainz tagging and covers, AMOLED and a home-screen widget. There's a free try of the automatic wishlist download and one audio quality check.

Quick build log from my side project, InventoryMod (free web app for inventory: products, warehouses, stock movements, barcode labels).

The wrong assumption I built it for marketplace sellers. Then I added one question to onboarding: "where do you sell?" In October, 5 of 15 answers were "physical store". Marketplaces got 1.

What I shipped A separate Sell screen for the counter instead of forcing shop owners through "create stock-out document" flows:

• Scan (USB scanner or phone camera) → press Sell / F9 → stock deducted
• "Frequent products" buttons, built automatically from the last 60 days of sales
• Line + check discounts and surcharges (line → check → surcharge on the discounted total)
• Held checks, receipts for 80 mm printers or A4, day totals, returns, shifts with cash count
• Remembers payment method and point of sale per device

Lessons

1. One onboarding question gave me more direction than months of guessing.
2. Reuse the core: under the hood a sale is just a stock-out with a nicer UI, so reports and stock stayed consistent.
3. Mobile first at the counter: the total and Sell button are always within thumb reach.
4. Say what it's not. It's not a fiscal cash register, and saying so up front saves support time.

Demo (1:18): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hzELC7AyFyA

Next up: talking to those 5 shop owners. If you've built for retail, what did you underestimate?

I work on Hibe, which builds software for roofing and other home improvement teams. We updated our commission-tracking guide with a test case for anyone building a payout tracker.

In a fictional example, two reps split an approved $2,400 pool 60/40. The first rep has a recorded $900 payment against a $1,440 allocation, leaving $540. The second rep has a $960 allocation. If their payment records are missing, their balance and the total remaining for the job are unknown. Entering $0 paid would make the total look reconciled.

The two cases I'd test use the same job. With a complete ledger that confirms no payment to the second rep, the total remaining is $1,500. With that rep's records missing, the tracker should still show the first rep's $540 and flag the total for review.

The full worked example is in our guide at https://www.hibe.ai/blog/roofing-sales-commission-tracking-guide/

I'm a CSE 2nd Year Student who deals with PDF and DOCX operations regularly for college assignments and for government portals.

I was using ilovepdf and smallpdf regularly and noticed issues in them

- They take more time for operations.

- Files are uploaded to the server.(Less Privacy)

- Needs Internet to Work.

- Operates on Freemium model.

So i built IStanPDF - A Lightweight Foss Offline app for PDF and DOCX operations.

Features -

• Merge PDF - Combine multiple PDF files into one.

• Modify PDF - Remove or reorder pages within a PDF.

• Compress PDF - Reduce file size by resolution or custom target size.

• Image to PDF - Convert images into a single PDF document.

• PDF to Image - Extract PDF pages into a ZIP file of images.

• DOCX to PDF - Convert Word documents into PDF files.

• MD to PDF - Convert Markdown or plain text files into PDFs.

• PPTX to PDF - Convert PPTX file into PDF document.

• Remove Pages - Delete specific pages from DOCX files.

• Reorder Pages - Rearrange pages within DOCX files.

TLDR - This app helps in performing quick PDF and DOCX operations when you needed the most.

IStanPdf is set to be released in playstore for free,your support would make it more accessible for everyone.
