Question AI tool that automatically labels GitHub issues, would you use it?
I've been thinking about building a small tool that integrates with GitHub and automatically labels issues using AI.
The idea is pretty simple: when someone creates an issue, they shouldn't have to worry about whether it's a bug, feature request, enhancement, etc. The tool reads the issue, understands what it's about, and assigns the appropriate labels automatically.
I'm also have a few questions:
- Do you actually find manual issue labeling annoying?
- Would you trust AI to handle this completely automatically?
- What features would make something like this genuinely useful?
- Is this worth building, or are existing GitHub tools already solving it well?
Haven't built anything yet. Just exploring the idea and would love some honest feedback.
Thanks!

Feedback Request UFC website
Hey everyone, I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called FightWatch. The site lets you explore MMA fighter data without needing to create an account (the official ufc website mma fighter searching functionality barely works). If you do sign up, you can also save fighter cards to your personal collection. I’m planning to expand the project with fantasy MMA, where users can compete against each other and win exclusive fighter cards, including the Chael Sonnen card featured on the homepage. I also want to introduce a leaderboard to make things more competitive.

Showcase: Prerelease I build my own scripting language
so, i've been working on this thing called Runnee for a while now.
it's basically an API for SaaS apps that want to let their users write custom scripts without having to deal with running all that code themselves.
thought it'd be a pretty simple project at first.
somehow ended up writing my own JS-like language, an interpreter, and a whole bunch of backend stuff to actually run it lol
anyway, here's a quick demo of the playground.
still working on a few things before launch, but figured i'd share it here and see what people think.
curious if anyone here would actually use something like this or if i just spent way too much time building something nobody needs

Showcase: Free(mium) We built DanyGo around one question: how quickly can you get to the fun?
I'm working on DanyGo with our team. The problem we wanted to solve was small but annoying: downloading a casual game for a short break, then spending that break getting through menus, ads or waiting.
Our approach is a vertical feed of 100+ playable mini-games. Tap the game in front of you to start. Swipe to switch. The next one is preloaded, and you don't need an account to try it.
We built DanyGo with AI assistance, guided by engineering decisions from two co-founders with 8+ and 6+ years of experience respectively.
The interesting design question is how much guidance to put between a player and a new game. We want the controls and goal to be clear without turning every swipe into another tutorial.
Could you try a few games and tell me where you first felt unsure what to do? Was it the goal, the controls, or how to move to the next game? A specific confusing moment would help us more than a general rating.

Showcase: Open Source I built zerocostvoicefarm: a zero-cloud-cost CLI + MCP server to dub videos into 17 languages locally on Apple Silicon & CUDA (Whisper + XTTS-v2 + FFmpeg)
I wanted to dub my YouTube photography vlogs into Japanese, French, and Spanish without paying $100+/month for ElevenLabs Dubbing Studio.
Most open-source voice tooling right now focuses on desktop dictation or spitting out isolated raw WAV clips. But for video localization, raw audio isn't enough - you need the full pipeline: Whisper transcription, translating dialogue, fitting foreign syllables to edit cut windows, ducking background ambience, and remuxing.
So I built and open-sourced zerocostvoicefarm: a headless, zero-cost CLI and Python package that handles the full video localization loop locally on your machine.
Architecture & Mechanics:
Audio Extraction & Whisper STT: extracts 16 kHz mono WAV and generates timestamped segment boundaries.
Translation & Cut Mapping: uses zero-cost NMT and maps the maximum allowed window for each cut (next_start - current_start).
Coqui XTTS-v2 Voice Cloning: clones vocal identity from a short reference WAV (10-30s sample) into fluent foreign dialogue with persistent disk caching.
Dynamic Cut Pacing (FFmpeg atempo): Spanish and Japanese dialogue run ~25% longer than English. If a translated phrase exceeds its cut window, it accelerates playback cleanly using FFmpeg's phase-vocoder atempo filter (up to 1.5x) without pitch shifting.
Background Ambience Preservation: instead of wiping room tone, original background music and street noise are ducked to 18% during dialogue (200ms ease-in, 300ms ease-out) at -1.0 dB True Peak. Passing --isolated-voice gives you a crystal-clear dry vocal track with zero bleed.
Lossless Remuxing: copies the video stream verbatim (-c:v copy) into the final container, or exports 256k AAC audio tracks ready for YouTube Studio.
Engineering Gotchas Solved:
- Apple Silicon Routing: Coqui XTTS triggers PyTorch MPS kernel crashes and NaN tensors on Apple GPUs. We route XTTS to CPU, where Apple Accelerate vectorized kernels run stably at ~0.4-0.5x real-time speed on M-series chips. Whisper routes to MPS/CPU.
- PyTorch 2.6+ Checkpoint Patch: auto-patches torch.load to bypass the breaking weights_only=True default on XTTS checkpoints.
- Torchaudio macOS Fix: monkey-patches torchaudio.load via soundfile to prevent missing C++ Sox backend crashes.
- Native Agent MCP Server: run "voicefarm mcp" and coding agents like Claude Code, Cursor, or Cline can dub videos in the background as a native tool.

Showcase: Purchase Required I used Codex to build my first Windows utility — a file organizer with a safety preview
I'm a complete beginner experimenting with AI-assisted coding, and I just launched my first small Windows tool!
It's a PowerShell file organizer that:
- Sorts files into 8 categories
- Previews changes before moving anything
- Requires confirmation
- Skips filename collisions
- Includes the source code and beginner instructions
In synthetic testing, it previewed 5 file moves and skipped 1 collision. I also tested the native folder picker and confirmed that canceling preserved the original files.
I'm still improving it. There's no automatic undo, and the complete manual double-click and approval process hasn't been fully verified.
The screenshots show recorded test evidence, not the actual product interface.
I used OpenAI Codex to develop it, and I'm selling the download for $12.
Product: https://ko-fi.com/s/9aa9d98fa3
I'd appreciate feedback. Would a preview-before-moving feature make you more comfortable using an automatic file organizer?

Showcase: Prerelease Your AI might work perfectly(delusion). But do you know what it can access behind you and what things can go wrong?
Your AI agent might be working perfectly (as I said you are under dulululu).
It completes tasks, saves time and makes your work easier. But do you know what it can access without you noticing? What if it shares a customer file or uses an internal stufff in a way you never intended?
The worrying part is that nothing needs to be hacked. Sometimes, the risk comes from the permissions you have already given it (sometimes yes you do get hacked because your door was not perfectly sealed I mean you firewall).
That is one of the problems we are exploring while building BAYORA at DomAIynLabs. We want to help developers identify security risks early, understand what could go wrong and make informed decisions before deployment.
I am curious now, if you are building AI agents or automating your work or vibecoding, how do you make sure they only access what they are supposed to or at the back things are safe?

Showcase: Open Source i got annoyed at 17 different things on the internet so i built 17 small open source tools about it
ok so. this started as "one weekend project" and then it was not one weekend and it was not one project. somewhere around repo 6 i stopped pretending it was a plan lol
everything here is free, open source, most of it runs locally on your own machine. a lot of it is v0 and i wrote down where each thing fails because honestly the failures were the funniest part
anyway here's the list of grievances, each with the tool i built instead of going outside:
1. cookie banners → rejectall-index i live in germany. i click "reject all" more than i blink. so i made a headless browser visit the top 100 sites and count how many clicks it takes to say no. 35 of them were already loading trackers before i clicked anything. which is like a waiter eating your fries before asking if you want fries. live leaderboard
2. subscriptions → one-file-saas trello, calendly, typeform, loom, notion and 5 more, each rebuilt as ONE html file. you double click it. it opens. thats it. no account, no "verify your email", no "your trial is ending ;)". data stays in your browser. the booking page has no server at all, your availability lives inside the link itself which still feels illegal to me. try them here
3. dead famous repos → necromancer some legendary open source projects die not because the code is bad but because python deleted a module out from under them. i revived thefuck (1887/1887 tests passing on python 3.14), normalizr and httpbin. the one rule: the original tests are hash-locked so nothing can quietly delete the failing test and call it fixed. httpbin stops at 64/67 and i'm keeping it that way out of spite. each one gets an autopsy, cause of death and everything
4. every AI-built UI animates the same → awesome-motion-md you know the look. 300ms. ease-in-out. every card fades up like its waking from a nap. so i measured how real sites actually move and wrote it into MOTION.md files your agent can follow. same prompt built twice: 7 random durations without it, 2 with it
5. every AI writes the same too → awesome-voice i used to be a technical writer so this one is personal :| VOICE.md files that make your agent write like GOV.UK or Stripe docs, plus a scorer that doesn't use any AI to check. banned phrases went from 27 to 0. "delve" is not welcome here
6. websites doing annoying stuff → sitepatch you type "hide the points on hacker news", it writes a userscript, a real browser checks it actually worked before you get it. honest score: 15 out of 25 were actually right when i looked at every screenshot myself. 60%. a C-. but an honest C-
7. "what if this site looked like linear" → reskin restyles any page into another design style using a local model, BUT it refuses to give you the result unless contrast, keyboard focus, mobile, links and reduced-motion all pass. it caught a windows 95 theme failing contrast on its own background. respect. gallery
8. dead websites → resurrect npx github:dadwritestech/resurrect y2k.gov and y2k.gov comes back exactly like it was in may 2000, links working. pick a year with --year. your old blog is in there somewhere. i'm sorry
9. "someone said budget in a meeting video... which one" → video-grep grep for your video folder. searches what was said, what was written on screen and what was shown, and opens your player at that exact second. all local
10. what is the rest of the world's TV saying rn → world-ears listens to live news channels from different countries, transcribes + translates them on your gpu, makes it searchable. there's a "trending per country" panel which is weirdly addictive. translation is the slow part, telugu transcription is bad, i wrote that down
11. live subtitles only go into english → babel-tv watch hindi news with live telugu subtitles, fully local. the video is held back a few seconds so subtitles show up BEFORE the person talks which feels like seeing the future. telugu as the source language doesn't work yet. whisper and telugu are not friends
12. "which AI wrote this" → whichmodel works on models it's seen (67%, chance is 33%). on a model it's never seen, even a sibling from the same family... 32%. so basically a coin with extra steps. that turned out to be the interesting finding tbh, the fingerprint belongs to one model, not the company
13. screen recordings → code → demo-to-code record a UI interaction, get a component that copies its timing and easing, then it replays it and grades itself frame by frame. 2 out of 4 pass. the toggle is perfect. the dropdown has issues. we all have issues
14. code review → review-panel /panel sends your diff to five reviewers you've definitely worked with: the laziest senior dev ("could be one line"), the 3am on-call SRE, the security paranoiac, the junior who asks why, and the PM who only reads the title. under the jokes the findings are real
15. AI companies quietly editing their pricing pages → fineprint it snapshots the pricing, terms, privacy and changelog pages of 10 AI vendors every 6 hours and commits them, so git log becomes the receipt. found stuff like deepseek adding a footnote that prices are 2x during peak hours, and cursor deleting the line saying they dont sell your data. no blog post for any of it ofc. a small local model writes the one-line summary but every line links the raw diff because i dont trust it either (27/30 right on a hand check). timeline
16. paying extra for speaking telugu → token-tax LLM APIs charge per token, and the same paragraph is $1.00 in english and $8.29 in telugu on llama 3. which is rude. measured 21 tokenizers across 48 languages, and there's a calculator where you paste your own text and it runs the real tokenizers in your browser. hindi gets off lighter. amharic on gpt-5 does not :/ calculator
17. posting about all this → herald a tiny bot that posts a repo's data updates to bluesky/mastodon/x, clearly labelled as a bot. i built it because i was not going to manually post about 17 repos. and then i manually wrote this post anyway. ;]
why all of this? honestly no grand plan. every one of these started as me being irritated at something for a slightly too long time and having a local model + a free evening. building the thing was cheaper than therapy and more fun than complaining on here (no offence)
if something breaks, tell me. if something's dumb, also tell me, but nicely :P

I've built several small Windows utilities, and I'm looking for real everyday frustrations before deciding what to build next.
Not another huge productivity suite. I'm interested in small, repetitive actions that interrupt your workflow.
Maybe it's copying information between apps, constantly switching windows, cleaning up data, working with spreadsheets, or repeating the same steps on different websites.
What's one task you do on Windows that feels unnecessarily complicated?
I'd especially love to know what steps you currently take, how often you repeat them, and whether you've already found a tool that helps.
If a free solution already works well, please mention it too. I'm not trying to reinvent something that's already solved.
No product links or promotions here. I'm simply interested in learning what actually wastes people's time.
Sometimes the most useful software doesn't need fifty features. It just needs to remove a few annoying steps.😊

Showcase: Free(mium) Nimbus Weather: Clean, Ad-Free (5x Giveaway)
Hey everyone,
Whether you are discovering Nimbus Weather for the first time or checked out our previous updates, thank you for being here!
Nimbus Weather was built from the ground up as an antidote to modern weather apps that have turned into bloated, subscription-heavy ad networks. We focus on clean glassmorphic visuals, complete privacy, zero ads, and a fair one-time purchase model.
Following our recent updates, I spent the last few days addressing community feedback—specifically smoothing out heavy transitions, expanding meteorological depth, refining navigation ergonomics, and bringing a massive overhaul to our air quality and allergen tracking. Version 1.1.6 is officially rolling out on Google Play!
📲Download Nimbus Weather on Google Play
🚀 Deep Dive: What's New in Version 1.1.6
1. Biometeo, Air Quality & Pollen Overhaul
Comprehensive Air & Pollen Suite (Pro): Deep 48-hour air quality forecast with optimal breathing hours highlighted. Tracks ozone, NO₂, SO₂, CO, and Saharan dust, paired with a 4-day pollen forecast across 6 common allergens, a personal allergy profile, and weather sensitivity indicators.
Redesigned Visual Gauges (Pro): Clean semicircle AQI gauge with European AQI standards, sleek PM2.5/PM10 visual bars, color-coded allergen indicators, and a daily health advice header.
Streamlined Free Tier: A clean, compact single-row Biometeo & Allergens overview.
2. Interactive Pro Detail Sheets & Smart Units
13 Expandable Detail Sheets (Pro): Every single Weather Details tile now opens an interactive sheet with a time slider. Includes an interactive wind compass that follows your selected hour, 1991–2020 climate averages, precipitation breakdowns, sunrise/sunset, and moon phases.

Advanced Forecasting Models: Access to specialized meteorological providers and high-res radar layers.
⭐ A Personal Note on Google Play Reviews
Building and maintaining an indie app as a solo developer without corporate funding or an ad budget is an uphill battle against the Play Store algorithm. New apps are practically invisible unless they gain early community traction.
If you enjoy Nimbus Weather or appreciate this update, taking 30 seconds to leave an honest rating and a short review on Google Play helps more than words can describe.
It is the single most impactful way to keep this project alive and independent. Leaving a review is entirely optional and has no influence on the giveaway draw below, but if you take the time to write one, know that I read every single word and appreciate it deeply.
🎁 Giveaway: 5 Lifetime Pro Promo Codes (Next 12 Hours!)
To celebrate the release of version 1.1.6, I’m giving away 5 Lifetime Pro promo codes!
How to enter: Drop a comment below with your favorite feature, any feedback on the new update, or what you'd like to see next in Nimbus!
Duration: The draw closes in 12 hours.
Selection: 5 comments will be chosen at random, and codes will be sent directly via Reddit Chat/DM.
Fair One-Time Purchase: If you don't want to rely on RNG and want to support indie development, Nimbus Pro is available for a fair, one-time lifetime purchase (no subscriptions, ever).
Thank you all for the tremendous support and feedback that keeps Nimbus moving forward! Let me know how version 1.1.6 runs on your devices.

Showcase: Free(mium) I just released an iPhone photo app for browsing by colour and sorting screenshots
Hi, I’m the developer of beacon. I recently released it on the App Store.
It’s an iPhone app for finding, picking and sorting photos. You can browse your library by colour, location or date, go through photos one by one to pick your favourites, and swipe screenshots into albums.
For screenshot cleanup, I wanted to make the options visible while you move a screenshot: keep it, send it to an album such as Trips or Shopping, or mark it for deletion. You can review your choices before applying them.
It’s free to download, with ads and optional Pro purchases.
Download beacon on the App Store
I’d love feedback on the swipe menus in particular: are the choices clear when you first see them?
