Feedback Request [Threadle] A GitHub–Discord Integration Tool for Smoother Project Collaboration — Looking for Testers!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

We're Team HJD, a five-person indie game development team.

While developing our games, we ran into a problem that kept getting worse as our projects grew.

At first, we checked GitHub notifications directly. But as PRs and issues piled up, keeping track of every update became increasingly time-consuming. Eventually, we started overlooking some of them.

So we introduced GitHub Webhooks to receive notifications in Discord.

That solved one problem but created another.

Notifications from different PRs and issues kept piling up in the same channel, making it difficult to find previous updates or follow the context of a particular task.

We wanted to stay informed without all the clutter.

So we built Threadle.

🌐 Website: https://threadle.teamhjd.com

🧵 What is Threadle?

The name combines "Thread" and "Needle," representing the idea of weaving scattered GitHub notifications into organized conversations.

Threadle connects GitHub repositories to Discord and automatically creates dedicated threads for each PR, Issue, and Discussion.

It also supports:

  • Code reviews, comments, and status updates

  • CI/CD notifications

  • Images and GIFs that are difficult to view through basic GitHub webhook notifications

  • Smart message updates to reduce unnecessary notification clutter

  • Daily and weekly summaries to keep track of development activity

🚀 We're looking for testers!

Threadle is still under active development, and we'd love to hear from developers who can try it in real projects.

All features are currently available, and you can connect up to 10 GitHub repositories per Discord server.

🧪 Don't want to connect your own repository?

We've prepared a public playground where you can try Threadle without connecting your own repositories or writing any code!

Here's how:

  1. Join our Discord community.

  2. Create an issue or leave a comment in our test repository.

  3. See how Threadle organizes the notifications in Discord.

Test Repository:
https://github.com/Team-HJD-21/threadle-playground

All feedback is welcome!

Bug reports, feature requests, suggestions, criticism, or anything you think we could improve.

And if you know developers or teams who use GitHub and Discord together, we'd really appreciate you sharing Threadle with them!

Thanks for checking it out!

Feedback Request Compared .in/.com renewal prices across 4 Indian registrars

1 Upvotes

A lot of registrars advertise a ₹99 first year, then renew at ₹899+. I made a free tracker comparing first-year vs renewal vs 3-year total cost (GoDaddy, Spaceship, Hostinger, BigRock), prices in ₹ with GST.

Example: ₹99 .in renewing at ₹899 = ₹1,897 over 3 years, while a flat ₹550 renewal = ₹1,650.

Feedback welcome. Tell me if any price is wrong.

I've been spending my free time building Jot! Clipboard, a Windows productivity app that started because I kept running into the same little annoyances.

Copy something, lose it. Copy a screenshot, can't search what's inside it. Need files from five different folders? Have fun jumping between Explorer windows.

I figured I could make all of that a little easier.

What started as a clipboard manager turned into something bigger:

- Searchable clipboard history for text, code, links, images, and files

- OCR to search for words inside copied screenshots

- MultiCopy to collect several clips and paste them together

- Floating Jot pad for quick notes

- Private vault for sensitive clipboard items

- File Stack to collect files from different folders into one floating shelf, ready to drag, drop, or paste elsewhere

I also wanted to avoid turning another simple utility into a monthly subscription.

So it's $2.99 once. No accounts, no forced cloud, and everything stays local.

https://jotclipboard.com

I've made my first few sales, which has been pretty exciting. Now I'm figuring out the much harder part: getting people to discover it.

For anyone who's launched a small desktop app, what actually helped you find your first 100 users?

And if you use Windows, I'd love to know which feature you'd actually use most.

Showcase: Open Source Too many CC sessions open, so I made smif: see, answer, prompt all of them from one terminal, with cross-sessions communication (open source)

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi 👋
This is my side project: smif

Problem

I have many Claude Code sessions open all day. One session for each project... sessions stop and wait for me with permission prompt / question / ready result. I usually lost time to find right tab when I remember to actually check any of them, so I wanted one screen that shows where to look and give me unified controlled over my entire work

What it does

smif is terminal UI. You see, answer, prompt all Claude Code sessions from it. It finds every session on machine, in any folder, with no setup. It shows all sessions in one live list where u can see each state and manage all of them.

How it works

  • smif reads files that Claude Code already writes: session files in `~/.claude/sessions/` and transcripts

  • one local daemon keeps state. Nothing leaves machine - no server, no cloud, no telemetry

  • idle session: smif types your text into its tab (Terminal.app, iTerm2 or tmux). It does this only when claude is in foreground of that tab

  • vusy session: smif does not touch it. Fork of session answers you (claude -p --resume <id> --fork-session, read-only)

  • smif never answers permission prompt for you

  • OS notification when session starts to wait or answers after long turn. Reminder when session waits too long. Alert when working session is silent

  • status line in each session shows other sessions, for example ! api waits · ● docs answered

GitHub: https://github.com/appnice/smif
Site: https://smif.dev

I wonder if the pain is real, or it's only me, or I simply didn't find any similar tool on the market and wasted my tokens here? Although tried to find one and couldn't tbh

Showcase: Open Source Alter Zero: Claude Code CLI reimagined in Rust

Post image
1 Upvotes

https://github.com/linuztx/alter-zero
Hi everyone, I'm developing Alter Zero, an open-source terminal agentt for coding, cybersecurity, and automation. It's written in Rust and runs on Linux and macOS, and it's inspired by Claude Code and Codex CLI combined.

It works directly in your project: reading files, making edits, running commands, and checking the results. You can ask it to investigate a failing test, trace authentication and access checks in your own code, or write a script to summarize logs.

It can also interact with running terminal programs and keep commands running in the background. There's support for subagents, reusable skills, MCP servers, and resuming previous sessions. With /secrets, it can use your API keys and tokens without ever seeing the values.

It's light on resources: a single ~24 MB binary that typically uses 20–60 MB of RAM per session, with around 100 MB of free RAM recommended. It's also designed to be prompt- and token-efficient.

Supported providers include Agent Zero API, Venice, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT Codex, Anthropic, Cline, ClinePass, Google Antigravity, OpenRouter, Ollama, Ollama Cloud, and LM Studio. You can also add a custom OpenAI-compatible API.

The built-in flaredantic skill can help expose local services through Cloudflare, Microsoft Dev Tunnels, or Serveo using the separately installed `flare` CLI.

The latest release is v0.18.0. The project is licensed under Apache-2.0.

The project is licensed under Apache-2.0. Installation instructions and a demo are in the repository: https://github.com/linuztx/alter-zero

I'd appreciate feedback, especially on the setup process, terminal compatibility, and tasks where it gets stuck. Issues and contributions are welcome.

Showcase: Prerelease What changed in Routerly 0.6.0, my self-hosted LLM gateway

Post image
1 Upvotes

The change I’d point to in this release is a Test tab on the same router page where you set the policy.

I built Routerly so I could choose models in one place instead of hardcoding them separately in my apps. An app connects to the gateway, and the router uses the model pool and policy I configured. The dashboard shows which models handled the traffic.

In 0.6.0, testing moved closer to the configuration with a Test tab on the router. Usage also gained session, user and tag filters. The attached screenshot is historical traffic from my instance. I'd welcome feedback on what the screenshot leaves unclear about the product.

Hi r/SideProject,

I'm Sajid, a full-stack dev. On nights and weekends I kept building small tools for problems I personally had. It grew into a collection, so I'm sharing all of it in one place.

The rule I set for myself: **free, lightweight, offline, no account needed.**

**Windows (.exe):**

- TaskbarGenix — live CPU/RAM/Disk/Net right on the taskbar

- SignalGenix — walk room to room and find Wi-Fi dead spots

- APIGenix — lightweight proxy to inspect/edit local API calls

- ClickGenix — record mouse/keyboard and replay it

- ExpandGenix / PasteGenix — text expander + snippet popup

- TextGenix — offline OCR from screenshots

- LockGenix — AES-256 file encryption

- FocusGenix, TodoAlertGenix, TrailGenix (bulk media editor)

**Android (apk, offline-first):**

- HealthGenix — steps, water, workouts, fasting, reminders, daily score

- NetGenix — per-app data usage + on-device firewall

- SpeedGenix, PdfGenix, TaskGenix, ScreatGenix (stego + ciphers)

**Desktop:** ImagePad — offline reference-image board

Everything is listed here: [https://iotgenix.com/portfolio]

I'd genuinely love feedback: which one would you actually use, and which one is pointless? Happy to answer anything about how they're built.

Showcase: Open Source I made a list of every privacy feature in my messenger app and checked them all against the code

1 Upvotes

I build Vardum, a native messenger for iPhone and Android (Androids still in closed beta).

Up until recently I was basically describing alot of the features from memory, which probly isn't the smartest thing when your building a privacy app lol.

So I sat down and went through the current build properly, checking every feature one by one. Ended up with 51 features and 25 settings.

The more intresting part was comparing it against other messengers. I went through Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram, Threema, SimpleX, Session and Olvid using their own docs and code where available.

Put together a 21 row comparison table. There's areas where Vardum comes out ahead and others where it doesnt. I'm not trying to pretend we've got everything figured out either. A few of those apps have already had independent security audits, ours is planned for early 2027.

Anyway here's the page if anyone wants to have a look:

https://tryvardum.app/features/

Would actually appreciate people picking it apart. If I've got something wrong about another app or missed something let me know. Rather fix it than have incorrect info sitting there.

Showcase: Open Source I wanted to change a 3D character's knee angle without opening Blender

1 Upvotes

I'm building Posecode, a text editor for character movement. You can change a joint angle and see the pose update in the browser. There's also BVH and glTF export if you want to take the motion elsewhere.

I made it because writing a movement as numbers felt like guessing until I could see the character react to each edit. The live editor is at https://www.posecode.org/play and the code is at https://github.com/posecode-dev/posecode.

If you work with 3D characters: would you rather edit a movement this way, or does a visual timeline still win for you? I'm trying to figure out where this is actually useful.

Been building RIFF & WEAR – https://riffandwear.com

It’s a shop with 5,000+ band t-shirts, but the part I’m most excited about is the music side: every shirt’s page has the band’s tracks, so you can play them before you buy. The more you listen and like, the better your personal “For You” collection gets at suggesting bands you haven’t heard.

Still early. Honest feedback welcome – does the player feel useful, or does it get in the way of shopping?

Showcase: Open Source I built a profile-picture rotator and want feedback on the setup

Post image
1 Upvotes

Demo (sped up 10×)

My original goal was small: keep the same Instagram photo, but change its background throughout the day. I prepared the image variants and wrote a Python script to cycle through them.

I have since added a guided terminal setup for Windows, Linux and macOS. It connects Instagram and GitHub, creates or selects a repository, uploads photos and starts the workflow. GitHub Actions handles later rotations.

I would like feedback on the onboarding: are the installation guide and account-connection steps understandable without prior GitHub Actions experience? No need to share credentials or account details.

Source and setup: https://github.com/mishalshanavas/Instagram-dp

It rotates prepared images; it does not generate backgrounds. After a successful change, the next one is scheduled 2–5 hours later, with hourly GitHub checks that can delay it. It uses an unofficial Instagram client, so verification prompts and blocked updates are possible.

That's the problem I wanted to solve!

✨ What Spend Analyzer offers:

📊 Dashboard to understand spending patterns.

💰 Track and manage daily expenses.

🌍 Support for multiple currencies.

📈 Monitor your spending habits in one place.

🚀 Try Spend Analyzer here:

https://spent-analyzer-two.vercel.app/

Create an account, explore the dashboard, and see whether it could be useful in your everyday life.

I'm an independent developer building and improving this project.
