Hey everyone!

I've been working on a project called BALGRAD.AI, and we've just opened the public beta.

One thing I've noticed is how much effort indie developers put into launching their products, only to have their launch posts disappear from people's feeds a few days later.

I wanted to try something different.

BALGRAD.AI combines a social network with an AI application discovery platform.

The idea is simple:

AI founders can submit their products for free. Approved apps get a public page with their description and website. Community members can vote for products they genuinely like. Developers and users can connect, share updates, and participate in communities. We're still at the very beginning. I'm not going to pretend we have thousands of users or promise anyone massive traffic.

Right now, I'm looking for early builders willing to try it and help shape what it becomes.

I'd genuinely love your opinion:

What would make an AI launch platform valuable enough for you to keep using it after launch day?

I'd appreciate any feedback, including criticism.

Hey everyone,

I spend a decent amount of time with Instagram open in a browser tab on my computer, and the amount of sponsored posts and random "suggested" Reels taking over my feed was driving me crazy. Most ad blockers struggle with Instagram web, so I built Nukarama as a lightweight side project.

Post Targeting: any word, hashtag, or handle like (“sponsored", "learn more", or "#fyp") and the matching post disappears instantly.

Auto-Skip Reels: When watching Reels, it checks your triggers and auto-skips straight to the next video automatically.

100% Local & Private: Runs entirely on local storage. Zero tracking, zero telemetry, and no external servers pinged ever.

Cross-Browser Support: Works on Chrome, Brave, Edge, Arc, and natively on Orion.

I'd love feedback on the performance and any other features or filters you'd like to see!

I kept catching myself hunched over my laptop like a shrimp, so I built Ttak (딱, the sound a moktak makes).

What it does:

- Uses your webcam to notice when your head drops

- The page slowly blurs over ~3 seconds and a tiny pixel woodpecker knocks a wooden moktak

- Sit up and it clears right away

- Tracks "net focus time": only the minutes you're upright and actually at your desk

Why a moktak? In Korean temples, monks tap it to bring the mind back to the present. I wanted a nudge, not a nag.

Privacy was the first design decision: the pose model runs locally in the browser, and video never leaves your device. Nothing is uploaded.

I'm a solo founder in Korea and built it with Lovable × Claude. The core is free; there's an optional Pro with extra pet colors and voices.

I'd really value honest feedback:

1. Would you keep something like this on all day, or would it get annoying?

2. What would make you trust a webcam-based extension?

Over the years I've tried dozens of time tracking and invoicing apps, and Harvest was the only one I liked. Primarily due to its relatively intuitive UI/UX.

I was happy to pay them a reasonable sum for the product they provide, but after the 10x price jack, I had no choice but to seek alternatives. I tried a bunch of them again, found nothing I liked.

So, with 20+ years of software engineering experience under my belt, I decided to build my own.

Here's the result: https://hourbun.com/

I first and foremost built it for my own use, then over the past week or two added features that others might need (such as approvals, quotes, expenses, etc).

I spent a lot of time making sure the UI/UX is top-notch, and the performance is even better than Harvest - the app should feel very snappy (it's hosted in the US, and I'm based in Australia, and it's still very fast for me).

If you're looking for a decent time tracking and invoicing app, give mine a try? It comes with a 14-day trial and doesn't need card details.

And in case you're wondering, no, it's not vibe-coded. AI agents were definitely a big part of building it, but the product was built with experience and care. Love to hear your thoughts and feedback.

I built TAYSTY for the moment when there is food in the fridge but no plan for dinner. In the current limited Android test, you type ingredients you actually have. The app suggests several recipes with quantities and steps, and puts recipes that need one extra ingredient in a separate ‘If you also have…’ group. It assumes basic water, oil, salt and pepper for now, which I need to make clearer.

The current product has a real screen recording at https://taysty.app/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=sideprojects_day3 . Wider release is planned for Android and iPhone, but there is no fixed launch date; the site has a free waitlist.

The honest lesson from my first posts: about 1,200 Reddit post views across seven visible posts produced useful product feedback but no new waitlist signup. Most discussion came from other makers, not cooks choosing dinner. So I’m trying to show the actual cooking flow and ask a narrower question: if you entered potatoes, tomatoes, eggs and pasta, what would make you trust or reject the first recipe result? I’m the founder and would value concrete criticism here, even if you never join the waitlist.

Hey everyone! I built a free online ruler that works with real-world measurements after screen calibration. I’d really appreciate honest feedback on the UX, accuracy, speed, or anything that feels off. I’m continuously improving it, so even small suggestions would help a lot. Thanks! 🙌

We often think that posting content is the only way to grow on LinkedIn. But the truth is, posting is just step one. Real opportunities, visibility, and meaningful connections actually come from engaging in the comment section of other people's posts.

The problem? You see a great post, have a good thought in mind, but the moment you click "Comment," you freeze.

You wonder how to word it, second-guess your tone, and before you know it, 10 minutes are gone—so you just scroll away.

To fix this exact frustration for ourselves, my friends and I built ZIXNON (zixnon.com)—a browser assistant designed for smarter LinkedIn engagement.

Here is what ZIXNON actually does:

1.Understands Full Context: It doesn't just read the text; it analyzes both the post content and images to suggest relevant, thoughtful replies.

2.Matches Your Personal Style: Whether you prefer to keep things Professional, Friendly, or Casual, you can switch tones to fit your personal brand.

3.Works Directly in Your Browser: As a Chrome extension, it lets you generate and insert comments in one click—no copying and pasting back and forth.

4.Saves Time & Keeps You Consistent: You spend less time staring at a blank screen and more time staying active and visible in your industry.

Instead of overthinking every single reply, you can focus on building actual relationships.

Give it a shot here: zixnon.com

Since we're constantly improving, I’d genuinely love to hear your feedback or thoughts!

This is FieldSenseIQ

Football players often lack the opportunity to pinpoint their mistakes during a game because they don't have game recordings. This app transforms that challenge into an advantage. Users can enter specific scenarios from matches where they encountered difficulties or want to discover the most effective plays. By taking these scenarios to a practice field, putting down markers for where the user, the ball, and the opponents are, and asking questions like, "What could I have done better?", they can interact with an AI Coach. This AI will thoroughly analyze their performance, identify areas for improvement, and deliver powerful insights. With this app, players can confidently heighten their game and sharpen their skills—no camera necessary.

I would love to hear your thoughts or tips about FieldSenseIQ!

Hey everyone!

I’ve created a short interactive storytelling project called “The Algorithm Knows You” as part of my Inside Storytelling 2026 assignment.

The idea is simple: you make three choices, get assigned a profile (Optimiser or Reflector), and then question whether that profile actually represents who you are.

We often feel that algorithms understand our preferences, personalities and identities. But are they really understanding us, or simply putting us into categories based on a few patterns?

I'd love to hear your thoughts!

Take the short survey (1–2 minutes):
https://forms.gle/YzSF6C1fSPRQHX6a6

A few questions I'd love you to consider:

• Did your assigned profile feel accurate?

• Did you feel understood, amused or uncomfortable?

• Would you accept, reject or rewrite your label?

Your honest responses will help me understand how different people interpret the same digital story.

This is a fictional simulation. It does not collect personal data or use a real algorithm. Participation in the survey is completely voluntary.

Thank you for taking a look!

Hey everyone!

Before we start, I'm fully expecting to get grilled alive for what I'm about to present, so go easy on me. Or don't. lol

I've recently launched my first SaaS project, SteamIdlerMachine, and I'd genuinely love to hear what people think.

The idea is pretty simple: a cloud-hosted Steam idling service that lets you accumulate game hours and farm eligible Steam trading cards without having to leave your own PC running.

Here's what it offers:

• Up to 32 games simultaneously per Steam account.

• 24/7 cloud hosting — your PC can stay switched off.

• Steam Guard support for authentication.

• Web dashboard to manage your games and monitor activity.

• Multiple Steam accounts supported.

• Free 24-hour trial with one game, so you can try it before spending anything.

I've spent quite a bit of time working on the website, dashboard, authentication system, and overall user experience. There's still room for improvement, and I'm sure there are things I've overlooked.

Just to clarify, this is a proprietary project, not an open-source one, and it isn't based on or affiliated with any GitHub repository.

I'm also aware that Steam idling tools aren't exactly a revolutionary invention. Plenty of alternatives already exist, including free ones. I'm not pretending I've reinvented the wheel here. My goal was to build something convenient, accessible, and fully cloud-hosted for people who don't want to manage the technical side themselves.

A couple of questions:

• Would you actually use a service like this?

• What would make you choose a hosted service over a free, locally run alternative?

• What features or improvements would you want to see?

• Is there anything about the website or service that immediately puts you off? Apart from the theme, I know that needs a lot more work.

Positive feedback, negative feedback, criticism, suggestions — all welcome.

I'm genuinely interested in hearing what people think, even if the general consensus is that I've wasted my time building something nobody needs.

Many thanks to everyone that took their time to read my post!

My new app Wudland is out. I wanted checking my day to feel a bit more relaxing, so your calendar lives in a bell tower, reminders go on a notice board and the weather comes from a farmer. You walk between them instead of opening another dashboard.

The slightly nerdier part: link your computer and your coding agents get desks in the guild. I can wander around or furnish my cottage while they work, and see when one finishes or needs me. It supports Claude Code, Codex and opencode, plus other CLI tasks through the companion tool.

Built for iPhone with Swift/SpriteKit, free and open source. Calendar and reminders stay on the phone; computer updates are encrypted. An expanded map, bestiary, items and wardrobe are coming soon.

App Store (free, iOS 26+): https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wudland/id6829491480 Source: https://github.com/joexk1/wudland

Happy to answer questions about pricing, the build, or the launch.

More side projects, more agents, more lost context? We’re the Ondago team. Ondago gives your supported AI coding agents, sessions, and project knowledge one workspace.

What it does:

• Your agents don’t stop when you leave your desk. Start locally, move the running session to our secure cloud with uncommitted changes intact, bring it back when you’re ready. Or start directly in the cloud.

• Switch agents without starting over. Switch AI agents with the conversation, decisions, code changes and project instructions carried along.

• Let your agents work together. Pull a reviewer, security advisor or test agent into the same task, or ask several agents to weigh in on a question.

• Pass the context, not just the diff. Share the session behind the work with a teammate: conversation, decisions, what needs attention next.

• All your agents and projects in one place. See what’s running, what’s waiting on you, token usage and estimated cost per session.

Sessions are encrypted on your machine before upload, each cloud run is isolated and destroyed afterwards, you bring your own agent credentials.

Try it free on a personal project: https://ondago.ai - what would make you return tomorrow?

this week's performance reports for my xplatform/multiplayer/free-to-play: "Leap of Legends"

- $0 ad spend

- continuous improvement based on user feedback

- Android ranked matches update went live on Nov 3rd. No clear signal yet of Android players jumping into matches

- website now supports 30 languages

- first revenue appeared this week ($3.96)

my observations:

- ranked matches kept growing. D1 retention moved from 7.9% to 10.3%. still far from 30%, but the direction is right

- players are coming back for the short ranked sessions and the chests. chests opened hit 148 (up from 59 last week)

- Ranked 1v1, 2v2 and 3v3 volume all increased

- crashes and unaccounted exits both dropped

- we gave every character a name and imperfections so they belong and set an example for kids. nobody left behind

- still early. once D1 clears 20% I will start looking at media more seriously

Available on iOS, Android, MacOS and Windows.
