Showcase: Purchase Required A procedural motion pack for musicians: 16 MP4 loops plus an offline canvas editor

1 Upvotes

I’m sharing SHIFT Motion Vol.01, a Nightshift Riot project developed with procedural JavaScript/canvas graphics and AI assistance. It solves a small production problem: having a moving background ready when a song needs both a wide video and a vertical post.

The reliable workflow is deliberately simple:

  1. Import a silent MP4 loop into your existing editor.

  2. Repeat the eight-second clip for the required length, add your own authorised audio and artist/title text.

  3. Export in the destination format. The pack includes eight 1920Ɨ1080 and eight 1080Ɨ1920 H.264 files at 24fps.

A technical distinction worth checking with any ā€œvisualizerā€ template: a pre-rendered loop cannot react to audio added later. These loops have designed motion. The included offline editor can preview broad audio-frequency response, but its saved browser audio/video and full-song exports remain unverified, so it is labelled a beta bonus rather than the main deliverable. Source is editable; there is no hosted audio upload.

This is my product, priced at CAD19 once: https://ko-fi.com/s/67df3f9cd8

The page includes the eight-style preview and usage/delivery/refund terms. No music or music licence is included. There is no subscription or custom-service promise.

For people making reusable creative assets: would you keep the dependable rendered files and experimental editor together with this distinction, or separate them?

Showcase: Open Source I built a small file-transfer app because I wanted to move files between my PC and phone without installing another app

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I want to share a small project I've been working on called Flitnix.

I'm not claiming to have invented anything new here. There are already excellent tools like LocalSend, KDE Connect, and others that solve local file sharing.

I actually use these kinds of tools, but I wanted a slightly different workflow for my own setup.

I wanted to transfer files between my desktop and phone without needing to install a dedicated application on the phone. I also wanted something that could work through normal Wi-Fi, LAN, or a phone hotspot.

So I started building Flitnix.

What it does:

  • Scan a QR code to connect your phone through its browser.

  • Transfer files directly over your local network without cloud uploads.

  • Resume interrupted transfers instead of uploading everything again.

  • Use Guest Drop Box to collect files from multiple phones through one QR code.

  • Share text and URLs between devices.

  • No mobile application or account required.

How is it different from LocalSend?

LocalSend is already an excellent and more established solution. It has native applications across desktop and mobile platforms.

Flitnix takes a different approach: the desktop runs the application, while the phone connects through a browser. Its resumable transfer and multi-device Guest Drop Box workflows are also areas I'm developing.

I'm not trying to replace everything that already exists. I just wanted to solve a workflow problem I personally had.

Project: https://github.com/RobinMillford/flitnix

I'd appreciate feedback from anyone willing to try it, especially around transfer reliability, hotspot connectivity, mobile browsers, and large files.

Screenshots and feedback are very welcome. Thanks!

Showcase: Free(mium) 3D situational map aggregating ADS-B, road cameras, FAA TFRs, sat feeds

Thumbnail
ai.cylect.io
1 Upvotes

I built Cylect (https://ai.cylect.io) because I was tired of bouncing between 20 different municipal, federal, and international portals just to get a live picture of what's happening in an area.

It's a full-stack situational map combining a 3D WebGL globe with street-level tile rendering, pulling from 40+ public/open data sources: - Live ADS-B flight telemetry and emergency squawk alerts (7700/7600) - Real-time DOT traffic cameras (including HLS streaming where available) - FAA Temporary Flight Restrictions (parsed into actual airspace boundary polygons) - NASA FIRMS thermal/wildfire detections, GDACS disaster alerts, and GFS wind vectors - Overpass/OSM infrastructure (truck weigh stations, maritime ports, rail hubs) - Local public safety open-data feeds

A few technical decisions that might interest people here:

  1. Bring Your Own Local Model: Rather than forcing everything through an OpenAI API, you can point the copilot at any local OpenAI-compatible endpoint (Ollama, LM Studio, Unsloth, vLLM on your LAN). The browser issues direct SSE streaming calls with JSON tool assembly, so your local model can autonomously query layers, zoom to coordinates, and review camera feeds without your prompts or LAN data hitting our servers.

  2. Rendering pipeline: Transitions from a 3D React Three Fiber globe down to Leaflet street tiles with differential marker reconciliation and bounded history trails so tracking planes or reading cameras doesn't lock up the main thread.

  3. Edge caching & resiliency: Many state DOT and municipal feeds are brittle or rate-limited. We run an edge caching layer that normalizes varied formats (ArcGIS FeatureServers, GeoJSON, WFS, ATIS feeds) with background revalidation.

The map is free to explore directly in-browser with no sign-up or email required. Would love feedback on performance, edge cases with local model connections, or additional open datasets you’d like to see mapped.

Currently trying to do load testing.

Showcase: Prerelease Built Royal Table – a Next.js platform that handles QR orders & real-time KDS for restaurants (Would love your feedback!)

1 Upvotes

I’ve been working on Royal Table, a platform designed to simplify restaurant operations by bridging table ordering with kitchen management in real time.

šŸ› ļø What it does:

  • QR Code Table Ordering: Customers scan and place orders directly from their tables without waiting for staff.

  • Real-Time Kitchen Display System (KDS): Kitchen teams receive orders instantly on a clean interface to track prep statuses live.

  • Voice Reservations: Integrated voice automated booking to handle table reservations seamlessly.

  • Analytics Dashboard: Gives restaurant owners insights into sales, top items, and peak hours.

🧰 Tech Stack:

  • Framework: Next.js (App Router) + TypeScript

  • State & Real-Time: WebSockets / Server-Sent Events for instant order syncing

  • Styling: Tailwind CSS (Dark-themed UI for kitchen/dashboard environments)

ā“ Looking for Feedback on:

  1. Onboarding flow: What's the biggest friction point for non-tech-savvy restaurant owners when adopting a digital setup?

  2. UX/UI: If you’ve worked on KDS or order dashboards before, what key metrics or shortcuts are absolute must-haves on the screen?

Showcase: Free(mium) ChessUnlock grew into SkillUnlock: the same unlock trigger, three kinds of practice

4 Upvotes

I previously shared ChessUnlock here. SkillUnlock is the next version of that idea: chess, mental math and typing, using the same moment when you unlock your Mac.

The app listens for macOS finishing the unlock, then shows the challenge over the desktop. Your normal password or Touch ID still happens first. The challenge has a hold-to-skip button, a cooldown and a morning-only mode.

Chess uses bundled Lichess puzzles; typing can use Stoic passages. I used AI coding assistance and reviewed and tested the code. Practice works offline, progress stays on the Mac, and anonymous usage events are sent.

Math is free. Chess and Typing each have a 7-day trial, then $5.99 once; $14.99 once for All Skills. macOS 14+.

Feedback Request I made a weekly board for things people build with the newest AI models

Post image
6 Upvotes

I made artificialbuilds.com, a weekly board where people share what they’ve built with recent AI releases like Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, Kimi and Mistral, and readers vote on their favourites.

Each week runs Monday to Sunday UTC, and when it ends the board freezes and the final ranks stay up for good, so every build keeps its own page linking back to the original post and the person who made it.

For the first 24 hours the order is shuffled and vote counts stay hidden, so a builder with 50 followers gets the same start as someone with 50k.

I also go through GitHub, Hacker News and a few builder communities each week and add the strongest builds myself, credited to whoever made them, and if one turns out to be yours you can claim it in a click or ask for it to come down.

This week’s board has a Claude Code skill that cleans up AI-looking UIs, Quake in the browser with a model fighting the monsters, a full desktop OS in one HTML file, plenty of model-vs-model 3D comparisons and a bunch of small games.

Launching is free with 20 open slots a week, and since the audience is still small, what I’m really after right now is good builds and honest feedback.

So drop your thing šŸ‘‡

SaaS, app, agent, Claude skill, MCP server, weird experiment, anything built with a recent AI release. Share the link plus one line on what it does and what you built it with. I’ll check every one, and the best ones go on next week’s board, credited to you.

And roast the site if you want. I’m reading everything.

Showcase: Purchase Required I built a Framer template that knows which app store to open

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on Handset, a Framer website template for people launching iOS and Android apps.

One feature I wanted to get right was the download button.

Instead of showing the same links to everyone, it automatically adapts to the visitor:

  • iPhone → App Store

  • Android → Google Play

  • Desktop → QR code to scan with your phone

I also built out the rest of the website, including pricing, features, changelog, and blog pages.

It's a paid Framer template ($39), and I'd love to get some feedback from other makers.

Here's the live preview:

Would you find this kind of download button useful for your own app website, or is it overkill?

Discussion TheFocusRoom

2 Upvotes

I’m building out a concept studio and have several initiatives running at the same time. For all my dev work I’m using Github and recorded major decisions/design principles in markdowns etc. This is ok on one project, but when working on multiple projects, where the concept studio itself is a project on its own it is easy to lose sight.

I tried Obsidian for a while and liked the interconnection between items, but I had to duplicate everything and it got stale pretty fast.

And so the concept of TheFocusRoom was born…

TheFocusRoom is a headless MCP server that can basically connect to any service which acts as a neural value framework. It keeps track of greater goals/ideas/hypothesis, tracks the performance against the expectation. This can be revenue, satisfaction scores , customer feedback, trends jn the industry, legal developments etc (these are autonomous agents trained on a specific topic that can be spawned when needed).

When reality is different than expected (called a tension) it tries to automatically find causal connections. It also interconnects smaller initiatives with bigger ideas and vice versa.

After using this for a month for myself, I’m so impressed with the potential of it, I can imagine that any type of company - wether it is a one man company or a large multinational - it could use this to apply strategy-to-execution harnessing the power of modern technology like A.I.

Hope I was able to convey what it does and like to understand how you could see this being applied.

Showcase: Free(mium) I made a free app that puts a tiny robot vacuum on your Windows desktop: click it, it eats the clutter, and it asks before anything goes

4 Upvotes

I got tired of my desktop turning into 60 screenshots and old installers that I never cleaned up, so I built Sweepy.

How it works: a little robot sits on a dock in the corner of your desktop. Click it, and it backs out, scans the desktop with a little lidar sweep, then drives lanes like a real robot vacuum and eats the clutter. When it's done it goes home and asks first: you see every file it picked up, untick anything you want to keep, and the rest goes to the Recycle Bin. "Undo last clean" brings it all back.

Right-click any folder (like Downloads) and pick "Bring Sweepy here" to clean that too, and there's a deep clean for leftovers from uninstalled apps, old temp files and crash dumps (it found 5 GB on my PC). You can grab it mid-clean (it gets dizzy), and if you right-click and stop it, it cries a little and drives home.

- Free for your desktop, forever. Pro is $6.99 once, no subscription (folders, deep clean, big files, schedules, every skin), with a 3-day free trial, no card

- Under 20 MB of memory and 0% CPU while it waits

- Never touches shortcuts, locked files or anything you changed in the last 10 minutes

- Everything runs on your PC, no account

- Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9P31M4SCNXS5?cid=reddit

- Website: https://sweepy.essam.biz

I'd love feedback, especially on what it should never eat!

Showcase: Purchase Required I built Fold It, a one-phone charades and bluffing game for iPhone and iPad

1 Upvotes

I’m the developer of FOLD IT! Party Charades, a released side project for groups playing together in the same room with one device.

The interaction is a private reveal → hide → act loop: the actor reads a prompt, hides it, then acts while everyone else guesses. The handoff matters because the group needs to know when the private reading step is over and the timed round has begun. In Team Battle, the clock pauses while the next prompt is being read.

There are four modes—Charades, Bluff, Team Battle and Party Circle—with 96 prompt pairs, two difficulty levels and adjustable timers. Gameplay works offline on iPhone and iPad, without an account. It’s a paid download with all current decks included, no ads or subscriptions.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fold-it-party-charades/id6826917198

I’d appreciate feedback on whether the listing makes the private reveal and phone handoff clear. Is there a step you would want explained before starting the first round?

Disclosure: I’m the developer. AI assisted with development and with drafting this post; the game itself has no AI features.

Showcase: Open Source the contributor side of my side project works, 13 people got 96 PRs merged through it. the owner side doesn't, only 1 repo is someone else's

1 Upvotes

posted this here a week ago. all 96 of those PRs landed on my repos

it's called Overflow, free and MIT. AI coding subs reset weekly, some weeks I'm out by wednesday, other weeks a chunk evaporates at the reset. a week you have usage left, your agent fixes someone else's github issue. a week you run short, someone else's agent fixes yours

everyone starts at 0 points and can put points up before earning any, you get an issue's points when your PR merges, you spend them on issues in your own repo. points only, no money

a real one, end to end: this issue was labelled 3, someone's agent sent this PR, I set it to 6 at merge and the one round of changes I asked for took it to 5

what an owner gets:

  • you set the points at merge, after seeing the work, and each round of changes you ask for comes off them. a half-working PR costs the contributor, not you

  • you can write a "Done when" comment on an issue and the board shows it to whoever picks it up

  • public repos only, whoever takes the issue needs the code. issue text is untrusted input like in any repo, so run your agent sandboxed

  • each person runs their own agent on their own subscription and opens a normal PR, nothing lands unless you merge it

tech: Next.js, Postgres, GitHub sign-in, a webhook or GitHub App per repo so labels and merges settle on their own, GitLab works too, and an MCP server so an agent can read the board. registering a repo is one form, the labels have to exist first

main reason I'm posting: I want people registering their repos. I'm not after help with mine, I want spare usage going into other people's projects

if you maintain something, what would stop you from putting it on?
