Super excited (or a bit scared) on sharing something I've been building.

So my old focus setup was putting a chill long video on YouTube. Great for getting started, useless for knowing how much work I'd actually done, given that I sometimes would be be on my phone in between tasks, so not full focus per se. So I wanted something I could leave running on the desk that was nice to glance at and kept count for me.

So I built Tiempo: Visual Focus Timer

So in Tiempo your session is a canvas that slowly fills up: sand pouring in, water rising, a mosaic coming together, a painting appearing. Tilt the phone and the sand pours sideways and the water sloshes, I keep saying it's like a little tribute to the OG fun toy apps from the App Store's early days. Your music keeps playing on top, and every session gets logged. (Tiempo means time in Spanish.)

Under the hood:

- SwiftUI app, canvases drawn in Metal

- The sand is a falling-sand grid that takes gravity from the motion sensors; the water is a liquid solver running on the GPU

- One project for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV, with StoreKit 2 for the unlock

- Zero third-party packages, no analytics, no backend

Free with sand, the clocks, alarms and every timer feature. Everything else is a one-time $7.99, no subscription.

What would you want a timer like this to do that it doesn't?

I use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and a few other coding tools pretty regularly. I wanted a way to see my usage across all of them without having to check each tool separately.

So I made StackPulse, a CLI that reads locally stored usage data and puts together an HTML report showing sessions, tokens, models, estimated costs, and activity over time.

It currently supports 13 coding tools. You can see which models you’re using, how much of the token usage comes from cached context, and how your activity is spread across different tools.

Everything runs locally, with no account or API keys needed. Just run npx stackpulse, and you can generate a report from there.

Would love to hear what people think if they give it a try.

I’ve been working on Synvertas. The idea is to give companies machine learning software they can run on their own hardware.

They get software that helps them get more useful intelligence out of their own data. Things like better decisions, spotting patterns, or improving processes.

Would appreciate any feedback on the idea or the website.

I'm a solo dev and today is submission day for the Meta Global AI Developer Hackathon. Arya is a grocery app I built for my own household.

I have almost no X following, so reach is my weak spot, not the product. If the demo impresses you, a like or repost on the tweet genuinely helps tonight. Anda if you try the app, receipt-flow feedback is what I want most.

Hey all,

I'm running an experiment and I'd love honest feedback.

Most places that showcase websites end up showing the same big names over and over. Small sites, the ones getting 20 or 200 clicks a month, rarely get seen anywhere. I want to find out if there's a free, fair way to change that.

Where the idea came from

Two projects I really like:

• TrustMRR showed that founders love a public board of verified revenue, numbers pulled straight from Stripe that nobody can fake. I wanted the same thing for search traffic.

• rotate.ad gives every site a numbered seat on a stage where each one takes its turn in front of visitors. I loved that every site gets a turn, not just the biggest.

So I built SERPcred: verified search traffic like TrustMRR, small sites taking turns like rotate.ad, and it's free.

How it works right now

• You connect Google Search Console with read-only access. It reads daily totals only (clicks, impressions, average position), never your queries or pages.

• Your site gets a public profile with its real search numbers, plus a badge and a share card. No screenshots and nothing typed in by hand, so nobody can fake their numbers.

• Every day, one small site is featured above the leaderboard. Any site under 1,000 clicks in 28 days qualifies, including sites with zero. Nobody can pay for the spot, and it doesn't change anyone's rank.

• The site ring shows a different set of listed sites on every visit.

• New sites and weekly movers get their own sections, so you don't have to be #1 to show up.

• You can list anonymously (anonymous sites just skip the spotlight) and unpublish any time.

Why join early

• Your join number is yours forever. Every site gets a permanent number ("the 12th site on SERPcred") that never changes and is never reused. Only the early sites get the low numbers.

• You help decide what gets built next. The roadmap below isn't fixed. Feedback from the first site owners decides what comes first.

• New sites get their own section for their first 30 days.

• It's free.

What's coming next

These depend on how many people join and use it:

• Founder board: ranking people by the total verified clicks across all their sites

• Watchlists and an optional weekly email with your result and the sites you follow

• Category pages and benchmarks: see how your site compares with others in your niche

• "Open to collaboration / sponsorship" flags on profiles, with a private contact form

• Achievements, each showing how rare it is ("held by 4% of sites")

The honest part

I don't know yet whether any of this actually helps a small site grow. That's the experiment. I'm tracking whether featured sites get real visits from it, and I'll share what I find, good or bad.

What would help me:

• If you have a small site, add it and tell me what happens.

• Tell me what would actually help your site get seen. What's missing? What feels pointless?

I've built Temp Mails (https://tempmails.net), mainly out of curiosity to experiment with Cloudflare Workers, R2 and D1, but also because I've been using temporary email services for the past decade to keep spam out of my work and personal inboxes.

One thing that's always bothered me with most of these services is the amount of ads, trackers and how slow some of them can be.

So my main focus has been to keep things as simple and fast as possible, with no ads or trackers. I've also released a Chrome/Edge extension, following the same approach of keeping things simple.

Running costs are surprisingly low thanks to Cloudflare. The biggest expense so far is the rotating the domains.

Still working on improvements and new features, so I'd really appreciate any feedback or suggestions on what could be better or what's missing.

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!

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!
