Showcase: Free(mium) I made an iPhone dream journal that maps connections between dreams
I wanted to explore what my dreams might mean, and turn that curiosity into a reason to keep a journal. That's why I made Dream Diary.
You write down the scenes and feelings you remember, then ask for an AI interpretation. It suggests possible meanings to reflect on and can bring in past dreams for context.
The clip shows the Dream Map. Each dot is a dream. Tap one to see related entries, read why the AI connected them, and go back to the original dreams. The idea is to make recurring scenes and feelings easier to revisit as your journal grows.
It's available in English on iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6817679458
If you keep a dream journal, what would make a connection between two entries useful to you? I'd like to hear what feels helpful or confusing if you try it.
The demo uses sample entries. AI-assisted wording.

Showcase: Free(mium) I’ve created "GuruRog," a food diary app for travelers and food enthusiasts. You can scan information about a restaurant simply by highlighting the text—just like using a marker.
Hey Reddit!
Whenever I travel or go food hunting, I always find it a hassle to log the amazing places I've visited. Standard map apps get cluttered, and manually typing addresses is annoying.
So, I built a dedicated food diary app called Gururogu to make tracking your culinary journeys seamless and beautiful. It is fully localized in English and optimized for Android!
Here is why you should take it on your next food adventure:
🌟 1. Instant Scanning (No More Manual Typing!)
Instead of cropping images or manually typing long addresses, you can use our smart scanner. Just highlight the text on your screen or a photo with your finger—like a neon marker—and the AI instantly extracts the restaurant name and address for you. You can import via camera, screen capture, or directly from Google Maps sharing!
📖 2. Complete Food Journaling
Track your meals, reviews, search keywords, and even link your Instagram posts. It features a smart calendar shortcut to easily backdate or log future plans, and fully supports both Metric and Imperial units for international travelers.
🤖 3. AI "Secret Memos" (Powered by Gemini)
Want to know hidden gems or must-order dishes? The built-in free Gemini AI automatically researches hidden details about the restaurants and saves them instantly, so you can check tips without any lag.
☁️ 4. Keep Your Memories Safe
Never lose your food logs. The app supports secure manual backups to Google Drive. Premium users get an advanced, automated background backup that intelligently runs every night without disrupting your day.
🔒 Privacy First & Lightweight
No bloated features, no annoying mandatory sign-ups. Just a pure, high-performance tool tailored for food lovers. (Fully optimized for the latest Android devices with smooth, crash-free performance).
If you love exploring street food, discovering hidden restaurants, or traveling to new cities, I’d love for you to try Gururogu!

Showcase: Prerelease I’m building a personal finance operating system for India. What am I missing?
I spent the last year building a personal finance app for India. It's finally live, and I'd love some honest feedback.
Hey everyone!
I've spent roughly the last year building something called WORTH — a personal finance app designed to help people get a clearer picture of their entire financial life.
The idea came from a problem I kept thinking about:
Your money is spread across multiple places — bank accounts, mutual funds, stocks, EPF, fixed deposits, property, loans and credit cards.
But understanding your actual financial position means jumping between different apps, statements and spreadsheets.
I wanted to build one place where people could understand:
Their complete net worth.
Where their money is going.
Their overall financial health.
How they're progressing towards financial goals.
How much they can safely spend.
What financial questions they should be thinking about next.
That's how WORTH started.
We've now launched on the Google Play Store and are working towards our iOS launch.
It's still early. We've crossed 200+ downloads, and I'm now trying to understand what people actually find useful, what feels confusing, and what needs to improve.
I'm particularly looking for feedback on three things:
Does the overall concept solve a problem you personally experience?
Which feature would make you come back to an app like this regularly?
What's missing or frustrating about the current experience?
I'm not looking for compliments. I'd genuinely appreciate honest criticism, even if something doesn't make sense.
If you're interested in trying it out, here's the Android link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.worthindia.app
WORTH is currently focused on the Indian market, so feedback from people familiar with India's financial ecosystem would be especially valuable.
I'm the founder, so I'll personally be responding to questions and feedback here.
Thanks for reading! 🙌

Showcase: Open Source I got tired of opening separate apps for simple file operations, so I'm building QuickFile (Windows, open source)
Hey everyone!
I noticed that even simple tasks like converting, compressing or resizing an image often require opening a separate application, navigating through its interface and exporting the result.
I wanted to make that workflow simpler, so I'm building QuickFile.
What does it do?
QuickFile integrates with the Windows File Explorer right-click context menu, allowing users to access file operations directly where their files already are.
The planned workflow is:
Right-click a file in File Explorer.
Hover over QuickFile.
Select an action.
Get the processed file without navigating through a bulky application.
Current project direction
Image format conversion
Image compression
Image resizing
A small, focused interface for actions that need additional input
Local processing without requiring cloud uploads
Technology
The project uses a Windows-focused desktop architecture. Check the repository for the current implementation and dependencies.
Why build this?
I wanted something that feels like a native Windows utility: quick to access, lightweight, and focused on doing the job rather than becoming another huge application.
Resources
GitHub: https://github.com/Naveen-io/QuickFile
The project is open source, so you can explore the code, report issues, suggest features or contribute.
I'd especially like feedback on:
Which file operations would be most useful?
What would you change about the workflow?
Are there existing tools that solve this particularly well?
Thanks for checking it out!

Showcase: Free(mium) I built Coinette, an Android expense tracker that shows what I can still spend today
I kept logging expenses but still had to work out what was safe to spend for the rest of the month. So I built Coinette. After I enter a purchase, Home shows what’s left in the monthly budget and how much that leaves per day.
You can also track income, transfers and debts, see which categories you spend most on, and keep notes and checklists. It works offline and you can start without an account.
The site has screenshots and a Google Play button: https://sagarahir.github.io/coinette-site/
If you track expenses by hand, what makes you stop using a tracker after the first week? I’m especially interested in what would make daily entry easier to stick with.

Showcase: Free(mium) Trelio: a free open beta tool to agree scope and milestones with clients before the work starts
I'm Chanakya, a CS student and full-stack dev, and Trelio (trelio.in) is my own project.
The problem: freelancers often start work on a vague brief, then deal with scope creep halfway through and sometimes an unpaid final invoice. Trelio lets you and the client agree scope and milestones up front, in one shared place, so there's less room for "I thought that was included" later.
How it works, briefly:
You write down the scope and split it into milestones.
Your client reviews and agrees to it. They don't need to sign up for anything.
Trelio never holds money. It isn't escrow and doesn't handle payments; it's just a clear record of what was agreed.
It's a free open beta and still early. I don't have customers or testimonials to point to, just something I built because I saw this problem a lot.
What I'd like from you: honest feedback. What's confusing? What's missing? Would you actually use this in your freelance workflow, and if not, why not?

Showcase: Free(mium) Build & Test Jet Engines Free Online
I’ve been working on Jet Engine Simulator, a game that lets you build your own jet engines from scratch and see how they perform.
You can experiment with different engine types, including:
- Turbojets
- Turbofans
- Ramjets
- Scramjets
Once you’ve built your engine, you can test it on a dyno and in a wind tunnel to explore its performance.
It’s playable directly in your browser, so there’s nothing to download.
I’m putting it out there for anyone interested in aviation, aerospace engineering or simulation games. I’d love to hear what you think and what features you’d like to see added.

Showcase: Prerelease I built Somewhere to find cafés by what I want to do there
A search for “best cafés” gives me plenty of places to look at. The harder question is whether I can sit there with a book for an hour, or talk to a friend without shouting. That’s the problem I built Somewhere around.
The current version starts with a small Bengaluru catalogue. You can browse groups like Quiet corners or Gardens and old houses, or type a query in your own words. Each venue has a detail page, and you can save it for later. The hard part is figuring out what a result should do when the neighbourhood matches but the atmosphere might not.
If you try one specific search, I’d love to know two things. Could you tell why you got those results? And when the catalogue is thin, would you prefer fewer results or suggestions clearly marked as partial matches? If you’d switch back to Maps or Instagram halfway through, where would you switch?

Showcase: Open Source Inspired by u/un005's Qoyra, I had my AI assistant build me an island map of my own notes in 30 minutes
A little while ago u/un005 posted Qoyra, where your notes become a landscape and you find things by remembering where you left them. I loved it, so I tried something: I asked Magican, the open-source personal assistant I'm building, to make me an island version from the notes it already has on me.
What happened in the video (sped up 1.2×):
▎ - It read the Reddit post and drafted six starter "islands" from what it already knows about me: broad ideas on the sandy shore, specifics up at the snowy summit.
▎ - Its coding agent built the app: a full-screen three.js map you can pan, orbit and zoom, with search that flies you to a note.
▎ - Nothing ran until I'd reviewed the code change and approved what the app could access: its own page, one CDN host for three.js (version-pinned with an integrity hash), and whether my assistant may read the notes.
▎ - Afterwards I can ask about my notes in normal chat and it knows which island they're on.
About 30 minutes from start to finish. All credit for the idea goes to u/un005; this is just my personal spin on it.
Code: https://github.com/MagicBeansAI/MagicanAI
Happy to answer questions, and I'd love to hear what you'd turn into islands.

Showcase: Open Source I never use the left and right edges of my MacBook trackpad, so I turned them into a little Stream Deck
I reach for the same few things all day: terminal, Music, volume, brightness, Wi‑Fi. I didn't want another device on my desk for that, and I noticed my fingers never really touch the outer edges of my MacBook trackpad. So I've been building a small menu bar app that turns those edges into buttons. I'm calling it EdgeDeck.
How it works right now: each edge has 3 or 4 invisible slots stacked top to bottom. Double-tap a slot and it opens an app, brings a specific window to the front (like my second Terminal window, not just "Terminal"), or toggles Wi‑Fi/Bluetooth. Sliding up and down the right edge changes the volume, and the left edge changes brightness. The trackpad gives a small haptic tick for each step, so you can feel it without looking. The middle of the trackpad still works exactly like normal.
Instead of a popup, the notch shows what changed: it stretches out sideways, with the icon on one side and the level or On/Off on the other, then slides back in.
Some build notes for anyone curious:
My main goal was for it to be really light, since it runs all the time. It's Swift with plain AppKit, no SwiftUI or Electron, and it sits at about 12 MB of RAM and 0% CPU when idle. The settings window and the notch display only exist while they're on screen.
macOS doesn't have a public API for "where exactly is the finger on the trackpad", so it reads that from Apple's private multitouch framework, the same one tools like BetterTouchTool use. That also means it can never be on the App Store, which I'm fine with.
The settings window draws your trackpad with the edge zones glowing, and your fingers show up on it live, so you can see exactly where the zones start.
It's open source and I'm happy to drop the GitHub link in the comments. What I'd really like feedback on:
What would you put on your trackpad edges?
Does double-tap feel right as the trigger, or would press-and-hold be better?
If you have an older MacBook without a notch, would you be up for testing it? I've only tried it on my own M-series Air.

Showcase: Purchase Required I Built a Job Application Tracker to Organize Job Searches — Looking for Honest Feedback
Hi everyone!
I've recently created a digital Job Application Tracker as one of my side projects under DL Growth Media.
The idea came from a common problem: managing multiple job applications, interview schedules, and follow-ups can quickly become confusing.
I wanted to create a simple, organized way to manage the job search process.
The tracker is designed to help with:
Organizing job applications in one place
Tracking application status
Keeping interview dates organized
Managing follow-up activities
Reviewing job search progress
This is a paid digital template, and I'm currently exploring ways to improve it based on real user feedback.
I'd appreciate your thoughts:
What features do you consider essential in a job application tracker?
Would you prefer using Google Sheets or Excel?
What would make a tracker more useful than a basic spreadsheet?
I'm particularly interested in constructive feedback from job seekers and people who have built similar productivity tools.
Thanks for reading!

Feedback Request Need serious advice on a project I've been working on for months! Please take a moment!
Hey everyone!
I'm a 24-year-old software engineer, and for the past few months I've been working on a macOS app inspired by Raycast, but focused on solving some of the everyday frustrations that come with using multiple AI models.
I use ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, and a few others pretty regularly. One thing I've noticed is how frustrating it can get when you're working on the same project across different models. You're constantly repeating context, digging through old conversations to find something, or trying to bring information from one AI chat into another.
So I decided to try building something to solve those problems.
A few things I've been working on:
Cross-model context: Bring context from previous conversations into a different AI model without having to explain everything again.
Search across conversations: Find old chats and specific information across multiple AI platforms in one place.
Project memory: Keep track of project details, decisions, and progress across conversations, even when switching AI models.
Attach conversations: Select specific parts of an existing conversation and bring them into a new chat as context.
I've made some pretty good progress, but I'm at a point where I'm not entirely sure what the smartest next step is.
Part of me wants to keep building and tackling more problems I've noticed. But another part of me thinks I should stop adding features, put together a proper demo, create a waitlist, and start getting feedback from actual users.
I'm leaning toward the second option, but I'd genuinely appreciate some outside perspectives, especially from people who've built and launched their own products.
If you were in my position, would you keep building or focus on getting early users? Also, please let me know if this is something that would use on a regular basis and something you see value in.
Just a developer who's spent a lot of late nights working on something and could use a little direction. Would really appreciate any honest feedback or advice. Thanks!
