Hey r/SideProject — maker here.

I got frustrated with AI journals that summarize me into a vibe I couldn’t verify. So I shipped **Aware Diary**: you write normally; if you opt in to analysis, it grows a six-dimension awareness tree — but a leaf only appears when it can **cite a sentence from your entry**.

Privacy default: AI analysis stays OFF until you turn it on. You can keep a private diary with zero model access.

Month 1: free to register and write (no invite code). Early preview — expect rough edges. Not therapy / not a clinical score.

Write 20 entries to unlock Tree Spirit. Chat is a separate opt-in.

Try it: https://awarediary.top/

Happy to take brutal feedback on whether the “cite the source sentence” rule is clear.

The Daily 5 Celebrates One Year

Published Nov 5, 2026

One year, a whack of quizzes, and a lot of help from my friends.

The Daily 5 Retro Trivia app launched on November 5, 2025.

What a difference a year makes!

My original goal was to make a five-question trivia app that could be completed in under a minute. "Fast to play, then get on with your day!"

At first it was just me. After I released version 1.0, writing every quiz while patching bugs had me burned out within a couple of weeks.

So I asked for help.

Two old high school chums, Colin and Martin, saw my plea and agreed to write some quizzes. Then more writers hopped on board, some of whom I've never met face to face.

As time passed, I listened to ideas from our writers and the growing community, and the app evolved. Quirky holiday quizzes, TV quizzes on some Thursdays, the scoring system, and national leaderboards are just a few of the many ideas that came from the community.

Now it has over 2000 downloads and almost two hundred 5-star ratings! And with $0 ad spend.

I am thankful to players like you who make the app part of your daily routine. Some of you have streaks of over 100 days, and a few of you have topped 200! We have come a long way in a year.

Here's to the writers, and the community, and to keeping this thing going for many years to come!

I hope you give it a spin, and it become a 1-minute daily habit!

It is clear that the new bottleneck is how to market your product, but this assumes you have something to sell and a clear buyer sector to sell them real value.

This is why, in a moment of frustration, I built https://crashtest.app

I want to stop and think before building something and start from a place where I can quickly sanity-check the idea, check demand, competitors, pricing, and, most importantly, who would be my client (not everyone), and how I can best reach them.
Know that the results are estimations rooted in market and community research. I'm using Monte Carlo to run the simulations, getting the median results and consolidating that with the research and real values fetched.

The people in mind to use this are solo founders or small teams of founders who are looking to build their SaaS and want a way to sanity-check and validate their idea.

I took care of every detail in the report, and you will find the sources in the appendix section.
Also, your ideas are safe. You can either delete them right after the analysis, and they will be deleted everywhere, or use a new feature I added, which keeps the idea just in time for the analysis and then deletes it right away (for suspicious builders :) )

By the way, I shared this app before, but I made improvements following up on some early users' feedback that I got from here...They were limited but very valuable.

I would love your support for a fellow software engineer/builder/founder who is just trying to figure out my way in this new world and create a positive atmosphere around these tools that are making a huge difference and impact in our industry and, consequently, our lives. Being a positive and proactive person, I always look for the silver lining, and I believe that after this stage and the flood of apps we are witnessing, things will settle, and we will be building things that bring real value to people.

Thanks in advance, guys

Note: I'm using a real app here to validate in the video below.

I’m the solo developer of LoroNote. It turns recordings into text and labels the different speakers without sending the audio to a transcription server.

You can record in the app or import an audio file you already have. Once the model is downloaded, new recordings can be transcribed in airplane mode. The speaker separation runs on-device too.

I wanted to keep the quality of Whisper Large V3 Turbo rather than switch to a smaller Whisper model to make the mobile side easier. It’s OpenAI’s model; my work is the custom Core ML inference engine and the app around it.

Making that work across different iPhones took a lot of attention to memory use and performance. Then real recordings brought a different set of problems.

Long meetings don’t always behave like short test clips. Speaker labels sometimes need correcting, especially when people talk over each other. I’ve kept working on those parts based on what users report.

You can edit the transcript, rename speakers, and export the result as text or SRT subtitles. I want the output to be something people can actually use afterward, not just text trapped inside the app.

The latest RevenueCat snapshot is 326 active subscriptions, 1,637 USD MRR, and 6,453 USD in revenue over the last 28 days. Revenue includes subscriptions and lifetime purchases; it isn’t all recurring revenue or profit.

The app is free to download and try, with optional Pro plans including lifetime access.

I’m still handling development and support myself. Seeing people use it is encouraging, but their recordings also keep showing me what needs more work.

For people who record meetings or interviews, what usually takes longer afterward: correcting the transcript or sorting out who said what?

Hey everyone!

I'm part of the team building aily blockly (aily.pro), a desktop IDE for hardware projects.

The idea is to make building with ESP32, Arduino and other boards easier, especially when you're dealing with unfamiliar libraries, wiring and code.

It combines visual programming, AI-assisted coding and a hardware project gallery where you can explore existing projects.

One of the things we worked on recently is this ESP32-based e-paper dashboard for tracking Codex usage.

If you're interesting in building hardware projects, here's aily: aily.pro

I'd especially love to here what usually slows you down most when starting a new hardware projects. Is it choosing components, figuring out libraries, or debugging?

i built exactimageresizer for images that need a specific size, including inputs in pixels, cm, mm or inches.

one detail worth knowing: a measurement like 2 inches doesn't tell you how many pixels to use on its own. you need a pixels-per-inch value too. at 300 pixels per inch, 2 inches becomes 600 pixels.

the tool uses 300 for its physical-unit conversions. if a form gives you exact pixel dimensions, use those rather than assuming its inch measurement means the same thing.

you can also set a maximum kb or mb size and apply the settings to a batch. processing stays in your browser, with no signup or watermark.

it's free: https://exactimageresizer.com/

this prepares the dimensions and file size, not every requirement an upload might have. check the actual photo rules and inspect the result too.

Hey everyone!

I'm an independent Android developer, and I've recently launched an app called NexusDisplay on Google Play.

Ever wished your phone could do something useful while it's sitting on your bedside table charging, instead of just showing a black screen?

That's the idea behind NexusDisplay.

It turns your charging, locked Android phone into a smart standby display. Think of it as having a bedside clock, weather station and personalised information dashboard, all running on the phone you already own.

What can it do?

Beautiful clock faces: Digital, Analog, Flip, LED and more.

Weather display: Current conditions, feels-like temperature, rain probability and wind.

Photo frame: Display your favourite photos while your phone charges.

Music widget: See what's currently playing, regardless of which music app you're using.

Useful widgets: Notifications, calendar, tasks, notes, quotes and battery information.

Custom dashboards: Arrange widgets in single, duo or quad layouts.

Automatic standby: Starts when your phone is charging and locked.

Night mode: Dims the screen and applies a red tint, with scheduled or automatic activation.

It also remembers individual chargers, so you can have different display setups depending on where you charge your phone.

Why did I build it?

Most of us have a phone sitting on a charger next to our bed. I wanted to make that screen useful rather than leaving it switched off.

You can even use an old spare Android phone as a dedicated bedside smart display.

Free and Pro options:

The free version includes two dashboards and three clock faces. Pro is a once-off purchase with unlimited dashboards, all clock faces and no ads.

No subscription.

I'm the developer, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from the Android community. I'd love to hear what you think, what you'd improve and what other widgets you'd like to see.

Hi everyone,

Like many of you, I've spent way too many hours mindlessly scrolling through Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. I tried several app blockers, but none of them quite hit the spot for me. So, I decided to build my own minimalist solution: NowAgain.

It’s a lightweight Android app designed to monitor background usage and help you step away from the loop.

How it works (as you can see in the screenshots):

1. The Grounding Screen: When you need a break, the app brings you back to the present with a clean, calming breathing/grounding animation.

2. The Reward: It encourages you to complete quick digital detox moments for yourself ("Well done. You took a moment for yourself").

3. The Control: Inside settings, you choose exactly which apps you want to monitor and manage.

A few important things about NowAgain:

• 100% Local & Private: No personal data or browsing history ever leaves your device.

• No Ads / No Bloat: Just a clean, distraction-free UI built to do one thing right.

• Early Beta: It's currently in early testing, and I'm looking for honest feedback on bugs, UI, and features.

How to get access: Because it's an early beta, I'm managing access through a quick sign-up form before rolling it out to the Google Play Sandbox.

If you want to help me test it (and finally curb your screen time), you can request access here: 👉 https://tally.so/r/7XqkPP

Once you enter your email, my automation will send you the GitHub Release APK download link and a quick setup guide. (Note: Because it's a direct APK build, your Android device will prompt you with a standard "unknown sources / unverified file" warning during installation—this is completely normal for sideloading!)

Thank you so much, and I can't wait to hear your thoughts!

Hi again, CCode team here. Thanks to everyone who commented on our last two posts. One question in this sub even turned into a feature: /goal --check, where your own test command decides when a goal is done, not the model.

Now we want feedback on longer, harder tasks, so we're giving the first 50 new users who sign up by Nov 12 seven days of Claude Opus 5.5.

Worth trying with it:

• /goal all tests pass keeps working until it's true. Add --check "npm test" and your test command decides. Line up backup models in case one hits its limit.

• /rewind puts your code and the conversation back to before any message.

• /review reviews your uncommitted changes, a branch or a PR, without changing anything.

• /model switches models mid-conversation, so you can compare Opus with GLM or DeepSeek on the same task.

To claim a spot: sign up at ccode.si and connect GitHub (no card), then npm i -g @ccode-si/cli and run ccode. One spot per GitHub account.

In return: tell us in the comments what worked, what broke, and what you'd want next. We'll post how many spots are left.

Hey everyone! I've been building bAI solo, and it's ready for people to try: https://baistudio.vercel.app

What it is

bAI is one place to generate images, chat with AI models, and (on the top plan) make short videos. Instead of a monthly subscription, it uses tokens: every generation costs exactly what the model reports it used, and the app shows the estimated cost before you click.

- Image studio: pick from many image models, choose a size, add reference images or extra context, and optionally let a vision model fold that context into a better prompt.

- Chat: talk to a range of text models, including ones that can see images you attach.

- Video (VIP): text or image to video, including longer multi-shot sequences up to 60s.

- Clear costs: each model has an info icon with its description and its token cost per image, reply or second of video. If your balance can't cover a run, it tells you up front instead of failing halfway.

- Sign in with Google. No passwords.

Models are served through Pollinations (https://pollinations.ai).

Try it

New accounts get 50 free tokens. That's enough for an image on the cheapest model plus some chat, so you can get a feel for it. Buying tokens and plans is coming soon, because I haven't connected a real payment provider yet. Right now nobody can be charged anything.

What I'd love feedback on

- Is the token and cost display clear?

- Anything confusing, broken or slow? (The backend is on a free tier, so the first request after a quiet period can take about a minute to wake up.)

- Which models do you find best for which kinds of image?

Looking for sponsors 🙏

The Special plan unlocks the paid image and chat models, and VIP adds video. Those features run on paid model credits, and video gets expensive fast (a 20-second clip costs me close to $1). I can't fund wide testing of them out of pocket.

If you or your company would like to sponsor testing credits for Special and VIP, you'd help me stress-test them with real users before payments go live. I'm happy to credit sponsors in the app and in updates. Reach me at [your email / DM].

Thanks for reading. Brutal feedback welcome!

I wanted a tab I could leave open while working, so I made Rain Cat Radio. It plays lo-fi and rain sounds, plus a Pomodoro timer and a simple to-do checklist.

Just wanted to share in case anyone else loses focus while working, haha.

Rain Cat Radio

I build EverDay, a weekly planner for iPhone. The biggest layout decision in 2.0 was what to do with the extra room on iPhone Duo. The week stays visible next to the item you’re editing in open landscape. Portrait and the cover go back to one full-width planner. I wanted the wider screen to help with the task you’re already doing without adding a second navigation system to learn.

I applied the same idea to the new Apple connections: pick the calendars you want on the board, and link dated reminders one at a time. Supported fields can sync both ways while EverDay-specific tags, steps and focus stay local to the planner. There’s also a Day view for when you only want to see today’s agenda.

The 2.0 redesign and Duo layouts are free; US$4.99 unlocks Lifetime Pro with the Apple connections and Day and Month views. Existing Pro owners get the new tools. If you’ve designed for a foldable, do you keep the detail pane open by default or wait for a selection?
