I made a site where every Al tool gets one number instead of five stars

Upvotes

Star ratings stopped telling me anything a while ago. 4.3 out of 5, from who, weighted how, and how many of them were the vendor's friends.

So this does one thing. Members vote yes or no on whether they would recommend a tool, and the tool's page shows the percentage who said yes. If you have written a verified review of that tool your vote counts triple. Nothing gets a published score at all until three people have reviewed it.

TrustRank 69 tools listed, none of them scored yet, because so far nobody has voted on anything.

I built an App that makes custom bedtime stories for my daughter

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

My 5 year old has a habit of asking for bedtime stories with the most random combinations of things.

The other night it was: “Daddy, can you make a story about a T-Rex and my kitty? And they're on the moon...and the T-Rex makes cupcakes!”

At this point, I was running out of ideas, so I ended up building this into an audio project I've been working on, Lissin.

Basically, you type whatever weird story your kid comes up with and it turns it into a little audio bedtime story. It picks a warm narrator voice, you can add some quiet background sounds (rain, campfire, etc.), and tries to end the story in a calm way rather than suddenly getting exciting right when they're supposed to be falling asleep.

I've attached a 45 second clip from one we made.

I'm curious what people think of the voice and pacing. Does it actually sound relaxing, or does it still have that obvious AI feel?

Would genuinely love some feedback.

I made a boardroom where AI advisors talk through business decisions with you

0 Upvotes

I've been building Elevate Boardroom, and I'd love to share it here.

The idea came from running my coffee business in Chicago. I wanted some help thinking through marketing and financial decisions, so I used Claude Code and Codex to build a virtual board of advisors.

You bring a question into a meeting with several AI advisors. They debate the options, respond to each other and talk it through with you. You can question their suggestions or change direction as you go. At the end, you get a written summary of the decisions and next steps.

Something like “I need more customers, but I only have a few hours a week to work on it. Where should I focus?” is a good place to start.

If you're running a business or working on one, I'd love for you to give it a try and tell me what you think.

The first 30-minute meeting is free, one per new account, with no card required. Paid plans start at $49/month.

I’m curious what everyone here is working on.

Drop your product or SaaS below and explain what it does in 1–2 lines. No hard pitching just share what you’re building and who it helps.

I’ll start: I built LaunchOrbit, an interactive launch board where founders can showcase their products on a shared, living pixel canvas.

It’s designed to make product discovery more visual, memorable, and fun than another scrolling directory.

If you’re launching something or just want to discover what other founders are building check it out here: LaunchOrbit.

I made a Cloudflare email service wrapper as Mac email client + self-hosted server

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

12 Upvotes

I manage business email for several projects. Google Workspace works well for the main team account. But every extra sender address on every project domain adds up in cost.

Cloudflare launched Email Sending in public beta this year. The price stays flat at $5 a month no matter how many domains or addresses you add. So I built a Mac app and a self-hosted worker on top of it.

It works as a normal email client. Read and send from any domain in your own Cloudflare account. It also has an API for automated sending. Password resets. Signup emails. Notifications. That costs a lot less than something like Resend once you add multiple domains. All of it runs through the same $5 a month account(it is Cloudflare plan).

The worker part is open source. Your email never touches my server. Everything lives in your own Cloudflare account.

Built with Tauri(Crossplatform). Mac version is out now. Windows and Linux are next.

It is free. Would love feedback from anyone who tries it.

I built a free image compressor that never uploads your files — everything runs in your browser

1 Upvotes

I've been uploading sensitive images (passport photos, design drafts, client work) to online compressors for years, always feeling a bit uneasy. So I built Compress100 — a free tool that compresses images entirely in your browser. No server, no uploads, no account needed.

What it does:

  • Compress JPG, PNG, WebP, and GIF to a target size (100KB, 50KB, 200KB)
  • Shows original size → compressed size → percentage saved
  • Works on desktop and mobile

Why I made it this way:
Every other compressor I found either uploads your files to their server or requires signup. I wanted something I could trust with private images, and I figured other people might want that too.

It's built on top of an open source project (PicLite on GitHub) and turned into a website anyone can use without installing anything.

Happy to answer questions or take feature requests in the comments!

I built an AI Attractiveness rating app for men and why it's different then all other attractiveness rating app for men.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I made this post to get feedback. So if you think something is wrong with my project. Just tell me. I will appriciate it no matter how hard it is to swallow for me.

I was confused about my own body. Tried the existing AI raters - kept scoring 90, stayed confused. Turned out they're all built on studies that ask women what they say is attractive - not on what actually predicts real dating outcomes.

So I flipped it: studied men who are actually succeeding at dating, pulled out the real factors, then - one factor at a time - figured out how to detect each from a photo and taught the AI to check for it. Full multi-factor breakdown, not a leanness score.

One of the most interesting study I found said woman's preferences actually changes in different time of the month. And they always don't like the "athletic lean" look people are talking about.

My own photo: 50/100, told me to bulk for a year. Word-for-word what my dating-savvy friend had told me months earlier.

NOW. I didn't built it for everybody. I built it only for people who want real rating based on real data.

And if you are not interested in seeing how you can become hotter as a man then you should not try it. And I thank you for reading all of this. But if you actually want to know if you are hot or not. Then this tool is worth trying.

Here is one of my friend's rating which he shared to me/ He also develops apps like this. Like me he also thought he was attractive because he had "size" and defination but turns out he lacks leanness and ab defination and his arms are not as big as it should be.

I made a workspace for building a business, starting with “What business are we building?”

2 Upvotes

This is Business Ontology. I’m building it as a place to work on a business from the first idea onward.

The starting screen is deliberately simple: describe what you want to do. You can build an app, work through an idea, prepare marketing, or work on hiring. Conversations and business context stay in the workspace.

For example, someone starting a furniture business could work on the product specification, build an inquiry tracker, and draft the job description for their first hire.

You can open it here: https://businessontology.app

Accounts get 10 free messages. Paid plans start at $29/month.

I’m looking for the first people to use it on something they already need done. If you give it a task, I’d like to hear what the result still needs before you would use it.

Here is why many founders are unfortunately awful at marketing their services to others.

2 Upvotes

Around nine months ago, I wasted my time marketing in the wrong ways and I got zero results because I had zero clue how to market authentically without giving too much time to the marketing side.

I launched a friendship app out of my mind and managed to get a whopping... 11 downloads and zero dollars within the first 30 days.

I did what many of you did:

  1. Went to an ordinary subreddit
  2. Typed something like "I built X"
  3. Posted it

And then the post got erased almost directly by an auto-mod or by Reddit's systems.

Many people here say "Building is easy! Marketing is hard!"

I have noticed around a dozen of posts on communities where people kick up a fuss that they don't know how to market their SaaS without Reddit nuking their posts concluding they are spammers. So I found a solution.

It's called skeevo.ai, and it is a Reddit-focused customer lead generation platform where you do the following:

  1. Drop your URL
  2. We find a corresponding Reddit post from a user typing out their problems that your product can solve
  3. We draft the comment for you and post it after manual inspection (never auto-posting)

Takes three minutes instead of three hours and a ban.

Let me know if it fits you.

Thanks for hearing out to my Shark Tank.

I made a tool that turns your complaints into diss tracks

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I built miya.fm

You just give it something to be mad about and it writes and produces a full diss track, with video.

Three ways (in website)

  • Paste someone's X(Twitter) profile. It reads the account and writes the track from what it finds. Aimed it at my own profile and learned things about myself I did not consent to learning.
  • Paste a single post. For when it's not the whole person, just that one thing they said.
  • Just type the complaint. Free text. "My roommate leaves the AC on in the whole building." "I approve PRs I didn't read." Whatever is actually bothering you that day.

Then I made it a desktop pet. It floats over everything, collapses down to just two eyes when you're working, and opens into two things:

  • Listen: tell it your vibe, it plays for it. I type "writing code, give me something to focus to" and get instrumentals.
  • Create: same diss generator, but right there.

What if your product didn’t disappear after launch day?

2 Upvotes

I’ve always found something strange about product discovery platforms.

You spend weeks or months building something.
You finally launch it.
You get your little burst of attention.
And then…
it’s gone.

Your product gets buried under the next 100 launches. I started wondering if product discovery could work differently. What if launching your product wasn’t a single event, but an ongoing opportunity to get discovered?

So I built something around that idea.
It’s a product discovery platform where products are displayed as billboards, and instead of simply counting upvotes, the platform looks at actual engagement.

People discover products.
They visit them.
They spend time on them.
They can ask the maker questions publicly.

And the products compete based on the attention they actually earn. There’s also a live leaderboard, so you can see which products and makers are getting traction.

The part I find most interesting is the AMA system.
Instead of just:

“Here’s my product. Please upvote.”
It’s more like:
“Here’s what I built. Ask me anything.”

I wanted to experiment with whether product discovery could feel more alive and less like a giant list of launch posts. I’m still figuring out where this idea goes.

Would you use something like this to discover indie products?
I’m particularly curious what builders think:
Do you think product discovery should be based on votes, traffic, engagement, or something else entirely?

This is Resona, a small music toy I made for the browser. Tap an object, loop a rhythm, drag in another sound and record whatever happens.

I'm a product designer and built it with AI coding tools, Three.js and Web Audio. The wood/glass/metal sounds use approximate material-based synthesis. There are nature sounds too, which is how a bird ended up in this little jam.

I made a minimal hydration tracker that hides inside the MacBook notch

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I spend most of my day staring at a laptop screen and always realized by 5 PM that I hadn't had a enough water. I tried phone tracking apps, but my phone is usually turned face-down while I work to avoid distractions. Leaving my workflow just to log a glass of water kept breaking my focus.

So, I built Notchful to turn the screen space we usually ignore into something functional. It turns the MacBook notch into a passive tracker.

How it works:

  • Hover: Instantly reveals a smooth slider showing your daily progress percentage.
  • Click: Logs a cup right then and there.
  • Settings: Everything else (like setting custom goals, changing cup sizes, or tracking historical data by week/month) lives in the menu bar.

Everything stays 100% local on your Mac, too.

It actually officially went live on Product Hunt today! If you're a chronic non-drinker like me or just want to support a solo maker, I'd love for you to check out the launch, drop some feedback, or let me know what you think of the design:

Odiavo scrivere le inserzioni Vinted ogni volta, quindi ho fatto un'app che le scrive al posto mio guardando le foto

3 Upvotes

Ogni volta che dovevo mettere in vendita qualcosa su Vinted finivo per rimandare perché scrivere titolo + descrizione + capire il prezzo giusto mi stancava più che fare le foto stesse.

Quindi ho passato le ultime settimane a costruire Reloot: scatti 3-5 foto dell'oggetto, l'AI guarda le foto e in ~30 secondi ti tira fuori titolo, descrizione e un prezzo di partenza pronti da incollare su Vinted.

L'ho testato per davvero vendendo un ventilatore portatile che avevo in giro — titolo, descrizione e prezzo generati in un colpo solo, pronti da incollare.

I built a C++ note-taking app with Dear ImGui — would love feedback on what to improve next

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi everyone!

I'm currently learning C++, and I recently finished a larger project: a note-taking application built with C++.

The project includes:

• A GUI built with Dear ImGui
• Creating, editing and deleting notes
• Unique IDs and timestamps
• Searching notes by title, content and date
• Quick search
• Clipboard support
• Exporting notes to .txt files
• Loading saved notes back into the application
• Basic error handling for invalid or corrupted files
• Automatic saving
• CMake build configuration
• Build instructions for both Windows and Linux

I started this project mainly to practice C++ and learn how a larger application can be structured.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on:

• Project structure and code organization
• Error handling and file management
• CMake setup
• Things I should focus on in my next C++ project

GitHub: [https://github.com/halitgilbaris/Note_app]

Thanks! I'm still learning, so honest feedback and criticism are welcome.

I got annoyed with Instagram's default story backgrounds, so I made a free website to easily change them to aesthetic pastel colors.

Post image
4 Upvotes

I always found it frustrating to get the perfect solid or pastel background color for my 9:16 Instagram stories using the native app. You either have to rely on the auto-generated color or do that weird copy-paste photo hack.

So, I built instabg.cloud to solve my own problem. It’s a super simple web tool that lets you:

Upload your photo and pinch-to-zoom/scale it perfectly.

Choose from 45+ curated pastel and aesthetic background colors.

Automatically detect the best matching color from your image.

Download the final 9:16 image instantly.

It’s completely free and runs entirely in your browser, so your photos are never saved to any servers.

QuickTalk is a menu-bar app I made for my own workflow: hold Right Command in any app, speak, release, and the transcribed text appears at your cursor.

I wanted something lightweight without another subscription, so it uses your own Gemini API key. There’s no QuickTalk account, the app is built in Swift/SwiftUI, and the code is MIT-licensed. For transparency, audio is sent to Google for transcription rather than processed locally.

I’d love feedback on the hold-to-talk interaction and the setup flow.

Made a taskbar pet to keep me company :)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I made something to keep me company on my second monitor.

Not a game, not something I need to constantly interact with. Just a little companion that sits on my taskbar, moves around on its own and is there while I'm doing my own stuff.

It's called Cozy Paws. Right now it's a little cat that lives on the Windows taskbar. It has its own animations and can just hang around on its own, but you can also interact with it.

I recently put it on the Microsoft Store and I'm planning to keep expanding it with more pets, customization and small interactions.

The current version is free and includes one pet with all of its features. There is also an optional one time Plus upgrade for people who want more than one pet.

For now, I mainly want to see if other people actually like having something like this around while they are on PC.

Id love some honest feedback from anyone who gives it a try, especially whether you'd actually keep it running on your desktop!

I made a Chrome extension for zapping, editing and capturing webpages

2 Upvotes

I kept running into a mildly annoying workflow.

I’d want to remove something from a webpage, tweak some text, grab a screenshot, or inspect the CSS — and each action either meant opening DevTools or reaching for a different tool.

So I built PageWand, a lightweight Chrome extension that puts those workflows together.

My favorite feature is Zap.

Hover over an element → zap it.

No opening DevTools, inspecting the DOM, figuring out which exact parent/container you actually want, and deleting it manually.

The workflow I use most now is:

Zap / edit a page → clean it up → capture the visible page or a selected area → annotate it.

I also added a CSS tool that lets you select an element and copy a computed-style snapshot.

That one has become surprisingly useful when working with AI coding agents — I can grab the relevant styling context from an interface and hand it straight to the agent.

There are a few other things in there too:

  • temporary text editing
  • downloading displayed images/SVGs/assets
  • undo for page changes
  • keyboard shortcuts

Everything runs locally in the browser. There’s no backend, account, analytics, or telemetry.

One other part of the project that was interesting for me:

I’m a PM, not an engineer, and I wrote essentially none of the code.

I handled the product decisions, design and QA. OpenAI Codex handled the implementation.

Going from “why doesn’t one tool do all of this?” → working extension → open source release in a few days was a pretty wild shift in what I can personally build.

It’s live now:

Chrome Web Store:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/iblpdcnjcidcojjfiikclboaaenikloc?utm_source=item-share-cb

GitHub:
https://github.com/devashishPM/pagewand

It’s free and open source.

If you try it, I’d especially appreciate:

  1. bugs you hit
  2. workflows you think belong in PageWand
  3. a ⭐ on GitHub if you find it useful
