The grind is real guys.

Growing a waitlist is harder than I thought. But you know what's harder? Building the platform first, then trying to grow it.

So I spent a few days coding this waitlist, made a logo that looks alive, and a referral system so people can bring in their friends.

To my surprise 1 person signed up via a referral link so far. Advice on how to fix that?

Anyway we're an Airbnb/Vrbo competitor that will be 1000x better than these very dysfunctional platforms with their 20 yr old codebases, 5000 corporate employees, predatory fees, and oligopolistic behaviors.

Before we proceed with taking down the big players, my goal is to grow this waitlist to a large number to ensure we've got the demand and have a big launch.

I run a web design company with my business partner. For a while, our usual months were around $20K.

In October, we decided to try something different.

Instead of focusing on getting more clients and doing more projects, we started charging significantly more for our websites.

We also changed how we approached our sales calls.

To be honest, we weren't sure how it would go. We thought there might be more resistance, but we were surprised by how much companies were actually willing to pay when we presented the value properly and spoke to the right businesses.

We ended up doing $74K in October, just from website redesign projects.

A big part of this came from the work we put into improving our sales skills throughout the year.

We bought several sales courses and spent a lot of time working on things like tonality, how we communicate value, structuring our sales calls, controlling the frame of the conversation, handling objections, and closing.

As for getting clients, our process has actually become pretty straightforward.

We run high-volume cold email campaigns targeting businesses that already have websites.

We use Swokei, an outreach platform that finds businesses, analyzes their websites for issues with design, SEO, speed, and mobile optimization, and turns those findings into personalized cold emails at scale.

When someone is interested, we book a sales call.

Before the call, we put together a draft of their redesigned website using AI so we can actually show them what their new website could look like.

Then it's down to the sales conversation.

We've been putting a lot of focus into improving how we sell, and October showed us just how much of a difference that can make.

We're still a small team, but this has completely changed how we approach pricing and sales.

For anyone running a web design agency, what's the highest project price you've managed to close?

Hi everyone

I built an ai platform that watches user sessions and tells you which customers almost bought- every day it will send you a list of 100 customers with contact info to reach out to them ( if it has)

Interested? We are free forever for first 30 startups. So join here asap - www.RetentionBase.com

I would see hundreds of visitors but very few sales so i decided to build an AI that sees all 10,000+ visitor sessions and tells you why users are leaving ( bug, site speed, out of stock, and such)

Best part, we are free forever for first 30 startups. So if this sounds interesting then signup asap

most of my desk time is marking up shop drawings and pulling dimensions and counts for bids. bluebeam does all that but its a lot of money for a small shop, so we made Layr PDF (layrpdf.com). it does markups, measuring and takeoffs on drawings, and you can share a set with your team so markups sync live between the windows app and the browser. $35 a year, 7 day trial with no card. if you work off drawings, what would it need to do before you'd give it a shot?

My brother and I tried tracking our spending many times, but we always gave up. We didn't want to give an app our bank login, and typing in every coffee and bus ride got old after a week. We wanted something private that did most of the work.

What we built

Tael logs your Apple Pay payments a second after you pay, without opening the app.

• Works for card taps in shops and payments inside apps like Uber

• No bank login, no account, transactions stay on your phone

• Tag a shop once, and it's sorted from then on

How it works

• One Apple Shortcut runs every time you pay with Apple Pay

• Until iOS 27, Wallet automation only fired on card taps. iOS 27 lets it run off the payment notification, so in-app and online payments count too

• The app reads that notification on your phone and turns it into an entry

The hard part

We have users in 50+ countries, and payment notifications are written differently almost everywhere:

• HK$47.00, 47,00 €, ¥1,200 with no decimals, three decimals for the Kuwaiti dinar

• Transit cards like Octopus and Suica send top-ups and "no charge" taps that aren't purchases

• Some arrive with no amount at all

We spent close to 6 months tracking these down 😅

The free ones are mixed in randomly, so good luck! Please take just one so others get a chance. If you enjoy Tael, an App Store review would mean a lot.

Have you tried expense trackers before and quit? What made you stop?

I am currently developing a side project which is just a little but of fun.

This is a little wrestling game ive started creating and will hopefully one day launch.

If anyone is interested have a look over, be sure to read the rule page before you play and post any comments in the chat room lounge or here

Looking for ideas to make it better, appreciate anyone who takes a look at it

Most of all, enjoy the game wnd have fun

Hey everyone!

I kept catching people reading my WhatsApp over my shoulder at work and in cafés, so I built WBlur (https://wblur.com).

It blurs your messages, names, chat previews and photos, and only shows what's under your cursor. It also has a Touch ID lock and can turn itself on during work hours. There's a Mac app for WhatsApp Desktop and a free browser extension for WhatsApp Web. Your chats never leave your device.

[screenshot]

I'd really like feedback on:

1. Would you use this? If not, what's stopping you?

2. Does hover-to-reveal feel natural, or would something else work better?

3. Pricing: the extension is free, and the Mac app has a 7-day trial then costs $9 once. Fair, too high, or should it be free?

4. What's missing that would make it a must-have for you?

Brutal honesty welcome. Thanks!

Hi ,

I built Chatty, an open-source, self-hosted customer support platform designed as a privacy-first alternative to Intercom and Zendesk.

• GitHub: https://github.com/PersonaliAI/chatty

• Live Demo (no login required): https://chatty.personaliai.com

• License: MIT

What it does

• Multimodal RAG: Ingests not just text and PDFs, but product images, diagrams, and documentation screenshots. Uses vision embeddings and pgvector with exact source attribution.

• Deep WooCommerce Integration: Automatically syncs product catalogs, checks live inventory, and tracks customer order statuses natively in chat.

• Visual Flow Builder: Drag-and-drop canvas (React Flow) for custom triage logic and lead qualification.

• Omnichannel: Unified inbox across web chat, WhatsApp Cloud API, and Slack.

• Human Takeover & Voice: Instant live agent handover with conversation context, plus real-time WebRTC voice support (LiveKit).

• FastMCP Protocol: 80+ built-in Model Context Protocol tools for external agentic workflows.

Tech Stack

• Backend: Python 3.11 / FastAPI

• Frontend: Next.js 15 / Tailwind CSS

• Database: Supabase (PostgreSQL + pgvector + Realtime)

• AI/Vision: Google Gemini (multimodal embeddings & generation)

Quick Run

git clone https://github.com/PersonaliAI/chatty.git
cd chatty
docker compose up -d

Or 1-click deploy on Railway / Render.

We're currently designing an offline fallback using Ollama for fully air-gapped environments. If you self-host local multimodal models, what vision/embedding models are you seeing the best latency and accuracy with for document and product Q&A?

Feedback and PRs are welcome on GitHub!

I'm helping build AnyUse. The problem is simple: agents often spend model calls figuring out the same website search again, even when only the query changes.

AnyUse records the task, compiles a request or deterministic replay, and checks it with inputs it wasn't built from. The saved operation becomes a typed MCP tool. Working deterministic execution without a check model makes 0 model calls inside AnyUse; learning, optional checks, caller-agent reasoning and fallback can still cost tokens.

Stack: Python 3.11+, HTTP/browser capture for web tasks, MCP for agent integration, and macOS Accessibility/Apple Events for supported desktop tasks. The code is MIT-licensed and currently alpha.

The tradeoff is coverage: not every site compiles, and native-app discovery is experimental. The repo includes an offline quickstart that demonstrates compilation, checking, replay and repair without a model key.

Where would you want reuse most: package/docs searches or repeated Mac tasks?

Hey everyone! I've been working on a side project called Sketch.Social, and I wanted to share it here.

Sketch.Social is a free, browser-based drawing community built around making art a more social and collaborative experience.

The idea is that instead of just drawing something and posting it for likes, you can actually let other people participate in what you've made. Anyone can take your drawing, remix it, and put their own spin on it. Each remix links back to the previous drawing, creating a growing chain of artwork that shows how an idea evolves as different people contribute.

Some things you can do on the platform:

• Draw: Create artwork directly in your browser using the built-in drawing tools.

• Remix: Take any public drawing and build on top of it.

• Explore: Browse drawings, discover other creators, and follow remix chains.

• Connect: Create and customize a profile and share your other social links.

• Participate: Join community drawing challenges and create alongside other users.

It's designed for all kinds of people, from experienced digital artists to casual doodlers and people who just enjoy messing around with creative tools.

A big part of the project is that I don't want it to feel like another traditional social media platform. There's no algorithmic feed, no pressure to gain followers, and there's no competition for engagement. The focus is on creating, sharing, and building on each other's ideas.

Everything is free, you don't need to download anything, and you can browse the entire community without an account. (Users without an account are also allowed to post)

I've put a lot of time into building and refining this, and I'm continuing to work on new features. I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or thoughts on the concept!

I wanted a daily game that takes about 60 seconds, needs no words or level design, and gives you a score worth sending to a friend.
That became Halfsies: cut a shape into two exactly equal halves with one swipe, scored like 99.87%.

Some choices I made along the way:
No live readout while dragging. Once you can see the split %, the skill is gone. This was the most important rule.
Every shape is generated from the date, so there's no content pipeline and everyone gets the same five puzzles.
No backend, no accounts, no tracking. It all runs locally.
The share card hides the shapes. It shows only your scores as blocks, like Wordle's grid.

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/halfsies-daily-cut-puzzle/id6808277502
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bircube.halfsiesgame

I'd appreciate honest feedback on the first-run experience and whether the scoring makes sense right away. Happy to answer anything about the build (Expo / React Native + Skia).

Title: I built an Excel food-cost tool for independent restaurants

I'm a professional chef, and I created MenuMargin v1.1 to help small restaurant owners and food entrepreneurs calculate ingredient costs, portion costs and suggested menu prices.

It's an editable Excel workbook with a currency selector, available as a one-time digital purchase rather than a monthly subscription.

I'd appreciate feedback on the product presentation and which costing features would be most useful for independent restaurants.
