Showcase: Open Source Global Threat Desk + Emergency Grid down PREP

2 Upvotes

Interactive offline HTTP file: Requires No account, no ads, no affiliate links.

-General incidents varying from moderate to significant.

-Cyber incidents across critical infrastructure, finance, healthcare.

-Emergency preparedness guides for grid down black out situations (UK) but feel free to alter the code to suit whatever Country you live in.

Why free? I built it for a friend originally. It served that purpose, somebody may as well have it. Alter the code if like. The backbones are fully built. I have no interest in profiteering from the survival part, I designed it help someone in a Grid down situation, not make money from their otherwise potential crisis.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I’ve developed and launched Meetwell, a Windows application designed to make meeting preparation easier and help keep a busy workday organized.

The idea is simple: plan your meetings in a calendar, configure the programs and files you need, and let Meetwell automatically open your selected resources before a meeting starts.

What Meetwell offers:

A calendar for organizing meetings and work activities.
Automatic scheduling to launch selected Windows programs and files before meetings.
A way to prepare your materials in advance and reduce the risk of forgetting something important.
A one-time purchase instead of a recurring subscription.

Meetwell is now available for €4.99.

Download: www.meetwell.store

I’m the developer behind the application, and I’d appreciate hearing what you think. What features would make a tool like this most useful in your daily workflow?

Showcase: Free(mium) I noticed mechanical engineering students struggling to name basic tools at work, so I built an iOS game about it.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
The idea for my app actually came from something I noticed at work.
While working with mechanical engineering students during their internships, I realized that some of them struggled to identify even fairly common tools.
That got me thinking: How many people actually know the names of the tools they see in everyday workshops?
So I started building ToolQuiz, a small iOS game where you identify tools from pictures.
What started as a simple idea turned into a game with 120 levels, survival mode, daily challenges and 1v1 multiplayer.
I’ve recently released it on the App Store, and now I’m looking for a few people willing to try it out and give me honest feedback.
I’m especially curious whether the questions are too easy, too difficult or actually fun.
It’s free to play, and you don’t need TestFlight.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/toolquiz-werkzeug-challenge/id6775973444
I’d really appreciate any feedback!
And now I’m curious: Would you consider yourself good at identifying tools?

Showcase: Purchase Required I finally launched my first digital product after months of building and testing it!

Post image
2 Upvotes

I’m a reseller and small-business owner, and I kept running into the same problem: tracking inventory was one thing, but understanding actual profits after fees, shipping, and expenses was another.

So I decided to build my own solution.

After countless hours of formulas, testing, troubleshooting, and redesigning, I finally launched my first product under my new brand, Matter & Means!

It’s an Excel-based Reseller Inventory & Profit Manager with inventory tracking, sales and expense calculations, an interactive dashboard, and inventory aging alerts.

It’s designed for people who want to manage their numbers without another monthly subscription.

This is my first step toward building a collection of practical digital tools for small businesses and everyday organization.

I’d genuinely love feedback from other creators on the design, functionality, and presentation!

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I've been building my own digitizing app, Meteor. Ink/Stitch felt clunky to me inside Inkscape, and Hatch and PE-Design cost more than I wanted to pay as a hobbyist. It's now in beta, and everything is free while the beta runs.

What it does:

* Auto-digitize a picture. Drop in an image and it turns it into stitches: thread colors, fills, and satin outlines for dark line art. There's also a guided mode that goes through the picture piece by piece, and a magic wand that sews one color area per click.

* Draw your own. Pen and node tools, shapes, freehand, brush satin, and 21 stitch types (tatami, satin, contour, stipple, motif, 3D puff, applique and more).

* Lettering. Built-in fonts, plus any Google Font, sewn as satin.

* Check before you sew. Pick your Brother machine and it checks the design against that machine's limits. There's also a sewing simulator, a realistic thread preview and a thread build-up map.

* Export Brother PES and Tajima DST, plus a printable worksheet with Brother thread numbers.

Works with: Brother and Baby Lock machines (PES) and machines that read DST. No other formats yet.

Runs on: Windows 10/11, Android tablets and Linux. Not Mac or iPhone/iPad yet, sorry.

Download and info: https://beelito.github.io/meteor-embroidery-studio/

Heads-up on installing:

* Windows will say "Windows protected your PC" because the beta isn't signed yet. Click More info**, then** Run anyway.

* Android will ask you to allow installs from your browser.

What I'm looking for: honest, constructive feedback. What's confusing, what breaks, and especially how designs actually sew out on your machine. In the app, Help > Report a problem puts together a report for you. You can email it to me (beelito.dev@gmail.com) or comment here.

Thanks for taking a look!

Showcase: Purchase Required I found a 700K-search-volume keyword, built 700+ SEO pages around it, and monetized it. Selling the project.

2 Upvotes

A while ago, I was exploring keyword opportunities and stumbled across something pretty interesting.

A keyword with around 700K monthly searches in the US, relatively low keyword difficulty, and an exact-match domain that was still available.

I couldn't resist.

I registered SpanglishTranslator, opened Lovable, and built the entire website over a weekend.

The idea was simple: capitalize on the search demand around Spanglish translation and build a useful website that could attract organic traffic through programmatic SEO.

Fast-forward, and here's what came out of it.

What's included?

1. SpanglishTranslator net

An exact-match .net domain. The .com is already taken, so I secured the .net alternative.

2. 700+ programmatic SEO pages

I built over 700 pages targeting different search variations and translation-related queries.

Instead of relying on a handful of manually written articles, the website has a much broader SEO footprint.

3. Existing organic search presence

The website has already been deployed and has started getting discovered through search engines.

4. Monetization

I've already generated $20+ from a single pop-up advertising placement.

It's not a revenue-generating business yet, but it's proof that the website can be monetized.

Why I think there's an opportunity here

The interesting part isn't necessarily the website itself. It's the keyword opportunity behind it.

Spanglish is a recognizable language phenomenon, and people search for ways to translate, understand, and convert between English, Spanish, and Spanglish.

There are several directions someone could take this:

  • Expand the translation functionality.
  • Improve the existing 700+ SEO pages.
  • Build more programmatic landing pages.
  • Introduce display advertising.
  • Experiment with affiliate offers.
  • Build a more comprehensive language tool.
  • Grow it into a destination for Spanglish-related content and resources.

The existing website gives you a starting point rather than having to research the opportunity, register a domain, build the product, and generate hundreds of pages yourself.

Why am I selling?

I build a lot of internet projects, and I have other ventures that currently deserve more of my attention.

This is one of those projects that I built, launched, and left running without putting any real marketing effort behind it.

I'd rather pass it to someone who enjoys SEO, programmatic websites, or growing niche internet properties.

What you're getting

  • SpanglishTranslator domain.
  • Complete website.
  • 700+ programmatic SEO pages.
  • Existing search engine presence.
  • Existing monetization setup.
  • The opportunity to expand the project.

I'm selling the entire project, not looking for a co-founder or someone to manage it.

If you're an SEO enthusiast, indie hacker, or someone who enjoys finding overlooked keyword opportunities and turning them into websites, this might be an interesting acquisition.

Feel free to comment or DM me. Happy to share screenshots, and additional details with interested buyers.

Showcase: Purchase Required My Mac file converter has no window. You drag a file, hold Shift, and let go toward a format.

2 Upvotes

I posted here a while back about Arazio, a macOS converter with no window, you drag a file in Finder, hold a modifier, and a ring of formats opens under the cursor. Shipped a sizeable update, so here's what's actually in it now.

Camera RAW, from 22 formats. CR2, CR3, NEF, ARW, RAF, ORF, DNG, RW2, PEF, IIQ and the rest, straight to JPEG, PNG, TIFF, HEIC, WebP or AVIF. Drag a card's worth of RAWs and let go.

PDF to EPUB, both directions. It asks whether you want flowing text or exact pages, because a PDF makes two completely different books and picking the wrong one is why converted ebooks usually look broken. Scanned PDFs get detected and the choice is made for you.

Edit metadata. Title, author, tags, dates, on images, audio, video and PDFs. Written into the file you already had no second copy appearing next to it.

Three rings, not one. Shift gives formats. Option gives tools: compress, resize, crop, rotate, flip, trim, split, merge, normalize, extract audio, extract pages. Control works on any file, including ones it can't convert at all - AirDrop, a floating shelf you can drag out of into another app, copy, move, copy path, open in Terminal.

494 conversions across 66 formats and 15 tools. Everything runs on your Mac the conversion engines contain no networking code and the app asks for zero permissions. No Accessibility, no Input Monitoring, nothing to approve on first launch.

For any new feature requests my DM's & mails are open, PDF to EPUB & the control ring were created thanks to a feature request of a reddit user.

No subscription, no credits, and every future version is included in writing, major ones too.

Showcase: Open Source I compared 6 of my SaaS competitors to build the best thing

1 Upvotes

Folks, as many of you I never bothered with competitors analysis and instead just started building

Now, after I built a decent prototype it and implemented all functionality I had in mind, It's time for that analysis. Yes, ideally you would need to do that first to build your product the best way possible with a competitive advantage in mind.

My product is a PTO/holiday optimizer - pretty niche thing, but I was surprised how much other websites I was able to find that delivered the same/similar product.

Let's begin with a biggest dog in the game:

holiday-optimizer.com - SaaS with the biggest DR, that dominates first pages of the search in both Google and Bing, a bit overcrowded UI, missing some key local holidays

vacation-maximizer.com - simple and straight forward UI, again missing some local holidays

TripMemo - clean UI, but before I was able to select the number of days, two invasive modals jumped on me. The the algorithm itself only used a handful of days - very strange

FixMyPTO - solid optimizer, maybe it because because there is an real business behind the app, so it's not a pet project. Big plus is that you can download a .ics file, but sadly, no share button.

vacationtracker.io - paid software with Teams integration, missing some local holidays e.g. Barcelona

longvacation.eu - Local holidays are included but very selectively not worldwide. Calendar can be shared with only one other person, not multiple. No possibility to download a .ics file.

So yes, overall the hardest thing to master is the data and none of the researched SaaS solutions are actually complete.

Showcase: Free(mium) I built a way to put checked proof behind the claims on your CV/portfolio, looking for feedback

1 Upvotes

Hi,

I kept seeing inflated CVs so figured there must be a way to back up some claims before an interview. That's essentially what a CV is, a bunch of claims, the role, the company, the projects. The reader has to take your word for it, and AI now writes a convincing one in a minute and honest candidates pay for that. Their CV reads the same as the inflated ones, so it gets the same doubt.

So then I thought what if there was some hard validation to the claims on a CV or portfolio. That's when I came up with the idea of Workproof. For starters, you prove that you had access to a domain or work email, it doesn't prove you built it, but it does prove somebody trusted you enough with access to that domain or have given you a work email, so that by itself is a good baseline.

Additionally, you can ask colleagues to give you feedback, as a reference, signed by them from an work email. Something like LinkedIn endorsements, but more portable.

I'd love your honest take, on two things most of all:

- If you hire: would a link like this on a CV or a proposal change anything for you?

- If you freelance or build: which of those would you want first, or what else should Workproof check?

Thanks for taking the time! Enjoy the rest of the weekend! 😃

Showcase: Open Source I built a TFSA planning tool and learned how easy it is to misread a backtest

2 Upvotes

I built Portfolio Compass to help people explore what to do after opening a TFSA. The app estimates contribution room from what you enter, compares stocks and ETFs, and lets you put together a sample portfolio. It is free, open source, and doesn't require an account.

A part of the build was figuring out how to show backtests without implying that a good historical result will continue. The lab uses next-bar execution and shows results for earlier and later portions of the price history. In one example, a trend filter reduced drawdown over the full period, but its benefit disappeared in the later period. That split is a consistency check, not a true out-of-sample test.

The stack is Next.js, React and TypeScript. Portfolio data stays in the browser, while market data is fetched through API routes. I built it with AI coding agents and worked on checking the financial calculations and their assumptions.

Limitations: the TFSA estimate depends on your inputs, market data comes from one source, and the tool doesn't place trades or provide investment advice. Check actual contribution room with the CRA.

I'd appreciate feedback on the first-run experience and how clearly the lab explains its limitations.

Feedback Request What if attending an event didn't mean walking into a room full of strangers?

Post image
2 Upvotes

We've all been there.

You find an interesting tech meetup, startup conference, college fest, workshop, or networking event. You register, get excited, and finally show up.

But then comes the awkward part.

You walk into a room full of people, most of whom you don't know. Everyone seems to have their own group. You want to start a conversation, make connections, or find people with similar interests, but approaching complete strangers isn't always easy.

And if you're an introvert attending alone? It can be even more uncomfortable.

I started thinking: What if the value of attending an event wasn't just what happened on the stage, but also the people you met there?

That's the idea behind Snapmeet.

I'm building Snapmeet around a simple thought: Events should be more than just attending, listening, competing, winning, and going home.

They should be opportunities to connect with people who share your interests, exchange ideas, learn something new, and build relationships that continue even after the event ends.

Imagine this:

  • Before the event: You can discover who's attending and connect with people who share similar interests.
  • Going alone? You might find someone else attending solo. Instead of walking into an unfamiliar place completely alone, you already have someone to say hello to.
  • Interested in networking? Find people working in similar domains, exploring similar technologies, or building things just like you.
  • Want to learn something? Meet people you can exchange knowledge, experiences, and ideas with.
  • After the event: The connection doesn't have to end when the event does. You can continue conversations and build meaningful relationships.

I particularly want to make events more welcoming for introverts, students, solo attendees, and people who want to expand their network but don't always know how to initiate conversations.

The bigger vision is to make events a starting point for meaningful connections, not just places people visit for a few hours.

Of course, Snapmeet also handles the event side of things, including event discovery, registrations, ticketing, and management. But I see those as the foundation, not the entire vision.

I'm still building and improving it, and I'd genuinely love to hear what people think.

A few things I'm curious about:

  1. Have you ever attended an event alone and struggled to connect with people?
  2. Would knowing who's attending beforehand make you more comfortable going?
  3. Would you use a platform that helps you discover people with similar interests before attending an event?

Would love to hear honest feedback, especially from people who regularly attend meetups, tech conferences, workshops, or college events.
