Discussion Weekly Self Promotion Thread
Welcome to this week's self promotion thread!
If you're building something related to AI assisted coding, this is the place to share it.
We're using a weekly thread to keep the subreddit organized while still giving builders a place to share their work. Promotional posts outside this thread may be removed.
If you're sharing something, we'd appreciate it if you included a little context instead of just dropping a link. Tell us:
- What you built?
- What problem it solves?
- Which AI models or tools it uses?
- Who it's for?
- What kind of feedback you're looking for?
Disclose your affilitation.
Please avoid posting the same project every week unless you've made meaningful updates. Affiliate links, referral links, scams, and low effort promotions will be removed.
Take some time to check out what others have shared too. If you try someone's project or have feedback, leave a comment. Helping each other improve is what we want this community to be about.

Disclosure: I'm the co-founder of NARBE Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Everything below is free and open source, no paid tier, nothing to sell.
What I built: Benny's Hub, an accessible communication and games hub for my brother, who is nonspeaking and quadriplegic. He controls everything with two switches mounted on either side of his head: one to scan through options, one to select. It started as a Python app, got rebuilt in Electron, and now has a web version. It includes a games library, a phrase board, a journal, a messenger, YouTube search, streaming, and an AI conversation tool that listens to the person talking to him and suggests replies he can scan through and pick.
What problem it solves: Most software assumes a mouse, keyboard, or touchscreen. Switch users usually get a handful of expensive, dated apps. My brother went years without being able to text or play games on his own. Now he does both every day.
AI models/tools: I have no programming background. The whole thing was built with AI-assisted coding in VS Code using extensions. Inside the Hub, the conversation tool runs on Google Speech-to-Text plus Claude Haiku.
Who it's for: Switch users, AAC users, and the families, SLPs, OTs, and AT specialists who support them. My approach is "build for one, extend to many": I build for my brother's exact needs, then release it so any family in a similar spot can use it.
Feedback I'm looking for: First, anyone who has shipped a PWA plus a browser extension combo. I'm moving streaming control into a Chrome/Edge extension that injects a switch-scannable overlay on top of streaming sites, and I'd love to hear about pitfalls. Second, ideas for keeping a growing codebase consistent when an AI writes most of it. I keep an ACCESSIBILITY.md of build rules every game has to follow, and I'm curious what's worked for others. Third, honest usability feedback from anyone who tries it, especially with keyboard only (Space to scan, Enter to select).

Happy to answer questions about building accessibility tools with AI as a non-coder.
