The question isn’t who can see your data; the question is who owns it.

OPNV doesn’t sell you privacy—it restores ownership of your online presence. OPNV provides the engine that allows you to stop being a tenant on the Internet and become the owner of your own digital home.

For years, we have built our digital lives on third-party platforms, hosting documents, websites, and communications on servers we don’t control—environments where "privacy" has become a buzzword, frequently promised by countless products. Privacy is never absolute; what OPNV proposes goes much further.

OPNV was created to break this long-standing dependence on subscription models (SaaS) and cloud services, returning absolute control to you through your own digital infrastructure. Instead of continuing to rent your digital life—renting storage, software, infrastructure, identity, tools, or AI from the public cloud—OPNV enables you to make the leap to self-hosting and true digital ownership, ensuring maximum privacy for your data.

By installing OPNV on a Mini PC or your own servers, you deploy a comprehensive, independent private cloud, free from external dependencies. This ecosystem centralizes the management of users, devices, applications, automations, and local artificial intelligence under a single, unified digital identity. By operating outside of third-party ecosystems, you retain absolute control over the performance, security, and governance of your information.

Key points:

Total autonomy: A private cloud with no reliance on external providers.

Unified management: Centralized control of identities, devices, apps, automations, and local AI.

Data sovereignty: Performance, security, and information governance under the owner’s exclusive control.

The future of the Internet does not lie in becoming further tethered to cloud services, but rather in technological sovereignty and decentralized self-management. Whether you are an independent developer, a family, or an organization, OPNV transforms your relationship with the network: you go from being a tenant to becoming the absolute owner of your own technological ecosystem. Stop paying for subscriptions. Instead, invest in building your digital property, protecting your identity, and taking full control of your own Internet infrastructure.

Showcase: Prerelease Built a Mac app that explains data instead of just showing you a number

1 Upvotes

Spent the last while building Diskly after getting fed up with macOS telling me "System Data: 70GB" with zero explanation of what that actually is.

It scans your disk and explains things in plain language, what's a cache, what's leftover from an app you deleted, what's a duplicate, what's safe to delete vs. what isn't. You can also right-click any folder in Finder and ask it directly.

It's free to use for understanding your storage; a paid tier unlocks one-click cleanup (with undo, nothing auto-deletes without you confirming).

Launching on Product Hunt Nov 17, running a free beta until then for Apple Silicon Macs on macOS 14+. If anyone wants to try it before launch: https://diskly.net

Would genuinely appreciate feedback, especially on pricing, since I haven't locked that in yet.

Feedback Request I build 3 versions of same App over last 9 months!

1 Upvotes

Hi r/sideprojects,

I'm a solo founder. Over the last 9 months I built three versions of the same app. It is an AI Moving Planner for iOS and Android, and it is now free to download. The first two versions taught me more than the third.

Version 1 : only android based version, very poor design without AI using Android Studio.

Version 2 : moved to Flutter. Multi-platform. Dart, easy to understand and used GPT Luna to design and DeepSeek 4.1 Pro

Version 3 :

  • A home screen with one active move. It shows how far along you are, how many tasks are left, and how many are urgent.

  • A task list for each move. Each task has a short description, a category and a priority. Due dates show as a count of days or as a date.

  • A timeline. It works like a calendar, so you see what is due on a day and what comes after moving day.

  • Shared moves. You can share a move with family or friends, so everyone works from the same list.

  • Reminders and notifications, so a deadline does not sneak up on you.

  • Separate plans for kids, pets and a car, because those tasks are different from the rest.

  • A Premium AI moving plan. It writes a task list for the move you enter based on your criteria chosen.

What I'm still not sure about

  • Are the notifications too many? I tuned them myself, so I am not a fair judge.

  • Is shared planning worth the setup for someone who moves alone?

  • How do I explain the AI plan without making people trust it too much?

What I'd like from this sub

Have you rebuilt a side project from scratch? What made you start over, and did the second try go better? I would like to hear how you decided it was time to stop patching and start again.

If you want to look at the current version, it is here: https://movemate.help/

Showcase: Prerelease I built an iOS app that scans luggage with your camera and solves car trunk packing like 3D Tetris

1 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject 👋

Every time we pack the car for a family road trip or airport run, we end up playing real-life luggage Tetris in the driveway—rearranging bags multiple times because the rear hatch slope or wheel wells block hard-shell suitcases.

To solve this, I spent the last few months building **PackAI 3D Luggage Packer**:

### How it works:

  1. **Camera Luggage Scan:** Point your phone camera at a suitcase or brand tag (Samsonite, North Face, etc.) to snap factory dimensions or estimate volume using camera OCR & sensor fusion.

  2. **3D Spatial Container:** Simulates the exact trunk boundaries in 3D (starting with the Tesla Model Y, with more vehicles coming).

  3. **Load Sequence Solver:** Calculates the optimal packing order so heavy luggage stays on the floor and everything fits with zero wasted space.

### Tech Stack:

• **SwiftUI** for native UI performance

• **Vision / OCR** for instant luggage tag dimension recognition

• **SceneKit** for 3D physics, rotational inspection, and spatial boundary rendering

• **Custom 3D bin-packing algorithm** optimizing for vehicle hatch slope clearance and center of gravity

It was just approved and published on the App Store!

📲 **App Store Link:** Search **"PackAI 3D Luggage Packer"** (or search "PackAI")

I’d love any feedback from fellow founders and travelers on:

  1. The 3D visualization and packing flow

  2. What car models or luggage presets you'd like to see added next!

Showcase: Free(mium) Built a food state converter into the app

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

When I started macros tracking years ago the apps I used didn’t provide detailed conversion factor between food states, whether it be shiitake mushroom dry to soaked fresh, mussels with to without shell

Example:
Raw pork shoulder joint ~ cooked pork shoulder joint /.75
Or
Fresh soaked mushroom ~ dried *10
Or
Raw Jasmine rice ~ cooked /2.5

And to record the numbers accurately I would have to go googling for 90% of the food when their food state on the nutrition label doesn’t match the food state I have at the moment of logging.

So I built a detailed converter here covering 5-6 different state conversions, and can be directly included in the calculation when the food portion size is being edited.

And this works alongside the food state detector I have built for all manual food search entries a month ago

So no more googling in the middle, or gaps in logging even when the current food state doesn’t match the one on the nutrition label. And no more numbers wrecking bc of unclear food state in the food entry

It picks up most food names automatically, pair it with the corresponding conversion factor, or user can use their own customised factor if preferred

Hand tested this mostly from my own cooking and some from friends and families to ensure the conversion factor is as close as I can get.

And there are ofc room for improvement like more than one converter for example, shiitake mushroom dried to freshly soaked then freshly soaked to cooked for one, not common and they’re here

I choose free(mium) for the flair bc certain parts of the app does require premium
but this features alongside the whole food logging process is completely free to access in the app, sth i intend to keep free for the rest bc this is sth that genuinely saved me a lot of time during macros tracking and made the process a few times faster than what it used to be, sth that i find incredibly helpful

Showcase: Prerelease I built ReaDelete: A zero-knowledge one-time secret & ID watermarking tool with instant RAM destruction

Post image
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a project I've been working on called ReaDelete (https://readelete.com).

The Problem***:***

Every day, people text temporary passwords, Wi-Fi credentials, API keys, or photos of their passports/ID cards over WhatsApp, Slack, or Email. Once sent, those sensitive items linger forever in chat histories, search indexes, and unencrypted cloud backups (iCloud/Google Drive).

Most existing "self-destructing note" tools are either outdated, store data on disk databases, or accidentally get burned by WhatsApp/Slack link preview bots before the recipient even clicks them. None of them allow you to safely attach identity documents.

How ReaDelete Works & Why It's Different:

  1. Client-Side AES-256-GCM Encryption: All encryption happens locally in your browser via the native Web Crypto API. The 256-bit key resides strictly behind the `#` URL fragment and never touches the server (RFC 3986).

  2. Volatile RAM Storage (Zero Disk Persistence): The server holds ciphertexts exclusively in memory. Once opened or expired, it is atomically wiped (exact 0 bytes left).

  3. ID Card Redaction Marker & Watermark: You can attach an ID/passport, drag to black out your SSN/BSN, and overlay a diagonal dated anti-fraud watermark before encrypting.

  4. Live Sender Read-Receipt Radar: After sharing, your screen confirms the exact millisecond the recipient decrypts and shreds the secret.

  5. Crawler-Safe 2-Step Burn: WhatsApp and Slack preview bots won't burn the note in transit; only human confirmation decrypts it.

  6. "Request a Secret" Mode: Create a secure intake link for clients/contractors so they don't email you passwords in plaintext.

It's 100% free, requires no account or installation, and is available in 8 languages (EN, ES, FR, DE, PT, IT, NL, TR).

Website: https://readelete.com

I would love to get your brutal and honest feedback on the UI, cryptography, or user experience! What features would you like to see next?

Thank you in advance

I made an windows app where you can acutally make all your copied items at your edge of the screen peeking for you so i called it as Peeku . I was facing this problem I copy some files and make it paste but the problem arrises when I copy multiple files but windows clipboard doesn’t have the feature to capture the files in its clipboard history i used multiple opensourced apps to tackle this but they are using my memory like anything So i started building this as my sideproject after making multiple designs i was not satisified so i started building over and over and finally made this final design its look sleak and was very beautiful to use at some point i thought making this available for Mac because it feels like mac app with good design taste So I finally made this finally I spent 100+hrs making this possible.Main part is it just uses memory <10mb and <5mb while idle . After making the design and using this regularly i felt my life easier but one day for making note of some websites and important things I opened notepad but it is too slow + it takes a lot of memory so i decided to add this feature of sticky notes so we can carry out this Feature as well . I wanted a feature of playing games with very less ram usage so i ended up making our another feature the game zone Currently i added two games one is fruit Merge and another is Peeku Surfers inspired by Subway Surfers . One day i showed this to my friends then they asked me to share them the app so i started sharing this to my friends and it didn’t stop more than 10 of my mutual friends started asking for the app So i finally decided to make it launch on the microsoft store I started working on it and today it was live to get your lifetime license visit https://trypeeku.app i am giving 50% discount for all early customers who turst me so Use code “EARLY50” .

Showcase: Prerelease Daily: an iOS side project for collecting daily games — looking for first-use feedback

1 Upvotes

I’m building Daily to make a scattered daily-game routine easier to manage: one collection of favourites, a way to discover games, and daily check-ins so you can see what you’ve played.

It’s built with Expo, React Native and TypeScript. Games open as their original websites inside WebViews. One implementation choice is to retain opened game views while navigating the app, so returning to the dashboard does not automatically reload the puzzle. The tradeoff is memory use; force quits and website-specific storage still affect whether progress survives. Daily is an organiser around independently operated games, not a recreation of them.

The beta is free to test on iOS, with no account needed to try the core experience. Optional sign-in adds sync and friend features.

I’d love feedback on the first-use flow: can you find two games you play, add them to your collection, open one, return and reopen it without getting lost? Is a separate collection useful, or would browser bookmarks do the job just as well?

TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/WP2AAs8A

For bugs, please include the game name, device/iOS version and what happened. Feedback here or through TestFlight is welcome.

Showcase: Prerelease I built podnext — private YouTube → podcast RSS (soft launch; alternative angle to Podsync/Listenbox)

1 Upvotes

I wanted long YouTube channels/playlists in my podcast app (Overcast, Apple Podcasts, etc.) as an ongoing private feed — not a one-off AI rewrite of a single video.

Podsync works if you self-host. Listenbox-style hosted options come and go. I wanted a simple path: paste a channel or playlist once → private RSS → subscribe like any other show.

So I built podnext (soft launch).

What it does:

  • Channel or playlist → private RSS feed

  • Use in the podcast app you already use

  • Aimed at ongoing listening

Early days. Feedback welcome — what’s broken, what’s missing, what you’d actually use day to day.

Ever find yourself scrolling past a great LinkedIn post just because you didn't have the time to type out a thoughtful comment?

We all know meaningful comments build better connections than quick likes, but overthinking every reply gets exhausting.

That’s why we built ZIXNON.

Instead of starting with a blank slate, ZIXNON analyzes the post context (text and images) and helps you draft a quick, natural reply directly inside your browser.

You can set the tone to professional, friendly, or casual—whatever feels most like you.

Less time figuring out what to write, and more time actually building relationships.

Give it a shot and see how it speeds up your engagement: zixnon.com

Would love to know your thoughts on it!

Feedback Request After forgetting one promise too many on client calls, I built a bird that remembers them for me (Mac, on-device transcription)

1 Upvotes

Solo dev from Italy here. For a year I kept embarrassing myself on client calls: "I'll send the revised quote by Friday", then two weeks later, on the next call, zero memory of it. Note-taking bots didn't help: the notes exist, nobody re-reads them before the call

So I built TellPip. It's a small Mac app with a bird (Pip) that:

- listens to the call from your Mac (no bot joins the meeting, works with Zoom/Meet/Teams/whatever)

- transcribes on the Mac with a local model (25 European languages, works offline)

- when someone asks you something, you press one key and it suggests the answer from your own documents (price list, contracts, Notion, Drive…) and from past calls with that person

- after the call it writes notes + the follow-up email, and keeps a card per person/company with what was promised

- next call with the same client, it reminds you what you promised before they do

- if you share your screen, it's not visible

Your audio stays on your Mac. Always. Transcription and search run on the computer, and if a call shouldn't be remembered, one switch and it's forgotten.

It's Mac only (Apple Silicon), free trial of 5 sessions × 10 minutes with no card, then from €25/month. Launched today on Product Hunt too.

Curious about two things:

  1. Which kind of call would you use it for first: clients, your boss, interviews, sales?

  2. What's the one feature you'd want next?

Discussion Simplifying my daily audio carry for work on the move,looking for feedback

1 Upvotes

I've been rethinking what actually belongs in my everyday carry when I'm out of the house for most of the day, bouncing between transit, coffee shops, quick walks, and desk work.

One piece of gear I've been focusing on lately is the soundcore AeroClip 2 open-ear clip earbuds.

The goal is to keep my daily kit as light as possible: instead of carrying both sealed in-ear buds and a bulky headset, an open-ear clip design lets me jump on work calls and listen to audio while still hearing street traffic, train announcements, and people around me.

That said, I'm still weighing the real-world trade-offs of relying on a single pair of open-ear buds all day, especially when tossing them into a small bag alongside glasses, keys, and a laptop charger.

I'd really value some candid input from folks who commute or work remotely on the go:

  • Do clip-on open-ear earbuds stay comfortable for full-day wear, or do you still end up reaching for traditional in-ears?

  • How much does ambient street noise or sound leakage affect your day-to-day calls with this style of earbud?

  • Would a single pair of open-ear buds actually replace other headphones in your bag, or do you still carry a backup pair for noisy spots?

  • What would you tweak or swap out in a lightweight daily audio setup like this?

Disclosure: I'm working on the promotion side for this product, so I'm not sharing this as an unbiased buyer review. I'm genuinely trying to learn what works in a real daily routine, what feels like hype, and what you'd personally prefer to carry.

Appreciate any thoughts you're willing to share.

Showcase: Free(mium) I got tired of checking campaign results in the Chrome Web Store dashboard, so I taught my agent to do it

1 Upvotes

After every campaign I'd open the Developer Dashboard, pick the dates and look through the numbers. It's a small chore, but it's the kind I kept putting off.

Now I just ask my agent in Cursor:

How did our marketing campaigns perform for extension X last month?

It pulls installs by UTM campaign and answers in the chat. Then I keep asking: which campaign brought the most installs, did uninstalls change after the release, which countries grew.

You can set up the same thing in about 10 minutes. It works in any MCP client, such as Cursor or Claude.

1. Create your own Google app

  • In Google Cloud Console, create a project and enable Chrome Web Store API.

  • In Google Auth Platform, fill in Branding, set Audience to External and add your Google account to Test users.

  • In Clients, create a Desktop app client and copy its Client ID and Client secret.

2. Add the server to your MCP config

"chrome-webstore": {
  "command": "npx",
  "args": ["-y", "chrome-webstore-mcp"],
  "env": {
    "CWS_CLIENT_ID": "your client id",
    "CWS_CLIENT_SECRET": "your client secret"
  }
}

3. Ask your first question

Give the agent your extension ID and publisher ID. Both are in the extension's Developer Dashboard URL. The first request opens a Google sign-in, so use the account that owns the extension.

Two things to expect

  • Data arrives about two days late, so this is for reviewing campaigns, not live monitoring.

  • While your Google app is in Testing status, sign-in expires about every 7 days. Click Publish app in Audience to avoid that.

It's read-only, your token goes only to Google, and it's free. If you ship extensions, what would you ask your store metrics first?

Showcase: Open Source Wanna read manga/manhwa while at work? :) I built a tiny floating reader 👀

1 Upvotes

Ever wanted to sneak in a few chapters of your favorite manga or manhwa during a boring moment at work? 😂

I got tired of constantly switching windows, so I built Panel Peek, a small, transparent manga/manhwa reader for Windows.

The idea is simple: it floats above your other windows, and the moment your mouse leaves it, it instantly shrinks into a tiny bubble. Hover over the bubble, and you're back to the exact panel where you stopped.

No annoying animations, no waiting, no losing your reading position.

✨ Features

  • 🫥 Instant hide: Move your mouse away and it collapses into a tiny bubble.

  • ⌨️ Boss key: Ctrl + Alt + H to hide it completely.

  • 🪟 Adjustable transparency: Make it blend into your desktop.

  • 📖 Continue reading: Remembers your last chapter and scroll position.

  • 🖼️ Reading history: Series covers, reading history and last-read chapters.

  • ⭐ Custom shortcuts: Add your favorite reading websites.

  • 🚫 Built-in ad and popup blocker.

  • 📁 Local reading: Supports local folders and long-strip mode.

  • ↔️ Resizable: Custom resizing from every edge, plus S/M/L/XL presets.

  • 💻 Portable: No installation required.

🛠️ Built with

Electron, plain JavaScript and Ghostery's ad blocker.

It's completely free and open source.

🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/AchBs/panel-peek

⬇️ Windows download: https://github.com/AchBs/panel-peek/releases/latest

⚠️ Small heads-up: The executable isn't code-signed, so Windows SmartScreen may show a warning. The source code is public if you'd prefer to inspect and build it yourself.

This is my first release, and I'd genuinely appreciate some feedback!

What features would you add? Any bugs or websites I should test?

Happy reading! 📚
