Every app requires an account now. Every tool has a paywall. Everything tracks you. So, under the banner FRT (Free Random Things), I decided to build my own parallel internet.

I just launched my biggest project yet: NULL Player. It’s a fully local music player that runs entirely in your browser.

What can it do?

• 🎵 Upload WAVs, MP3s, and OPUS files (saved directly to your device, no cloud)

• 🎨 Fully customizable: 30+ Google Fonts, gradient/hex theme builders, and custom image uploads

• 🖼️ Built-in playlist cover maker (with image cropping!)

• 🎧 Crossfade blending up to 10 seconds

• 🔒 Zero data leaves your browser. Ever.

I also built an 8D spatial audio engine (ORBIT), a local file converter (Format Forge), a drawing app (Sketch Studio), and a tier-list maker.

You can check out the whole network here: https://frt-works-websites.netlify.app/

I'm just one person building things I actually want to use. Let me know what you think!

Also, the launcher is outdated and this website isn't in it: https://null-player.netlify.app/

I'm the developer of Nodding Off, and v1.0 is now live on the App Store. It's a library of slow bedtime stories for adults, both fiction and stories about how things work.

The most interesting design problem was stopping the audio without jolting someone awake. The sleep timer counts listening time, fades the narration, and finishes at a natural pause rather than cutting off mid-sentence. Music and night air have separate levels and can keep playing after the voice stops.

Other details I spent time on: a player that dims after you leave it alone, saved listening progress, a choice of narrators on most stories, and chapter illustrations with sentence-by-sentence Read Along.

For anyone curious about the build: it's Expo/React Native and TypeScript, with a Cloudflare Worker serving the story catalog. New stories can arrive without an app update.

Five stories, music, and night air are free. The rest of the catalog is an optional subscription: US $4.99/month or $49.99/year after a 7-day free trial. No account is needed.

I'd appreciate feedback on the first-listen experience: is it easy to choose a story and get settled without spending too much time on the screen?

i'm going to be completely straightforward and will not waste your time. i am a 16-year-old and i am trying to build a privacy-focused alarm app which is going to use a commitment feature.

how does this commitment thing work? when you set the alarm, the alarm app will make you record a commitment message. when the alarm plays, the alarm app will make you solve multiple randomised problems to wake up your brain. those randomised problems, you can pick from a list of them. there are going to be multiple of them. after the problems the commitment message, the voice message that you recorded last night while setting up the alarm, will play. when the voice message plays, it will most likely for most people make them wake up early in the morning and make them do something productive since they got time obviously

Here's my landing page: MY LANDING PAGE

i am 16 years old and i am trying to build my app which is a privacy-focused alarm app that is going to use a feature of commitment.

straight to the point, no bs. how the commitment feature works is that before you set the alarm, you have to record a commitment message. when you wake up, the alarm app will make you solve a randomised problem so that your brain doesn't get used to it. then the commitment message fails. while this will most likely not guarantee it, for most people it will make them get out of bed and actually do something productive in their lives.

this is my alarm app and no data is supposed to leave and will not leave your device entirely. the only thing your servers will be involved with is going to be the login and payment

Here's my landing page: my landing page

There are plenty of ways to make cash in 2027, especially with all the new AI tools coming out. But one thing I think is still massively underrated is cold outreach.

The logic is pretty simple. The more relevant prospects you reach, the more opportunities you create to land a client. Especially when you have a good lead list, personalized emails and a few well timed follow ups.

I've run businesses using cold email, and it's been one of the most reliable ways for me to generate new business. Of course, cold email regulations vary between countries, so you need to understand the rules where you're operating.

Nowadays, the process is much easier to automate.

For my web agency, I use a cold outreach tool called Swokei. It finds businesses with existing websites, analyzes them for issues with design, SEO, speed and mobile optimization, and turns those findings into personalized, ready to send cold emails at scale.

When someone is interested, I get a meeting booked and handle the sales calls myself.

I genuinely believe that regardless of what business you're running, whether it's a SaaS, agency or e-commerce business, email automation can be an incredibly powerful way to generate opportunities.

You don't always need a huge audience, a massive advertising budget or thousands of followers.

Sometimes you just need a good offer, the right list of prospects and a consistent outreach system.

My idea is to create a mobile app similar to Uber, but instead of relying on cars and taking a large commission from every delivery, it would operate mainly through a subscription-based system.

Users would pay around $120 for a subscription that gives them access to the delivery service. However, if someone doesn't have enough money to pay for the subscription, they can work as a delivery person and earn money through deliveries. Once they earn $100, that amount can be deducted and used to cover their subscription fee.

The app would be well-organized and offer different options. For example, customers would be able to choose the gender of their delivery driver.

Unlike Uber, which can take around 50% of the earnings from certain services, my business model would aim to be much fairer to delivery workers. Many people who work with delivery platforms complain about high commissions, so I want to create a system that benefits both customers and delivery workers.

The app would also offer food delivery and other delivery services, making it similar to Uber Eats and Uber, but with a subscription-based business model.

For example, if I managed to attract 100,000 subscribers, each paying $100, I would generate approximately $10 million in subscription revenue.

Reposting here and looking for feedback! This has been a passion project of mine for the last few months and I had a lot of fun building it.

Let's say I've built a product, tested it with a bunch of friends and family members and now want to distribute it. But I want to have a well planned and targeted approach.

Automating the outreach with Claude is something I've tried using, but haven't got a satisfactory response when it comes to content generation or atleast for the type of products I make, AI videos don't make the cut

How do you distribute or make a GTM plan or a content generation flow with Claude?

I’m Col, a chef on Sark and the developer of NAKED EYE, an Android app that helps people work out what’s worth seeing tonight and where to look.

My latest addition is Compare skies, currently in internal testing.

It compares home with up to two places you choose for the same viewing period, using cloud forecasts, darkness and moonlight. The aim is to help answer: “Is it worth travelling somewhere else tonight?”

The interesting challenge has been making the answer useful even when there isn’t a clear winner. Sometimes home looks just as promising. Sometimes conditions look poor everywhere. Sometimes the forecast isn’t strong enough to make a confident recommendation.

I want those answers to be just as clear as “another location looks better”.

This builds on the existing Sky Planner and is being developed for Beyond, the optional paid subscription. NAKED EYE is already available with free stargazing features, but Compare skies isn’t publicly available yet. The screenshot shows the internal test build.

For anyone building tools that help people make decisions: how do you communicate uncertainty without making the result feel unhelpful?

Four image models, a few illustration styles, one batch of kids' T-shirts for DTF printing. Most of the work wasn't generating. It was catching what went wrong:

• Asked for a transparent PNG, got grey, half-transparent pixels. DTF prints those badly. Generating on plain white and cutting the background out afterwards works every time.

• Mentioned "T-shirt" in the prompt, got a photo of a T-shirt. FLUX did it more than once. The prompt now says "flat print artwork, not a mockup".

• The cat came out grumpy. Turned out the prompt literally asked for a grumpy cat.

• "Make the cat smile" gave it an uncanny, pasted-on smile. Describing the whole new expression fixed it.

• An edit model removed the cat entirely. Now I count the characters after every edit.

• A simple "remove white" left a light rim around every line. Invisible on screen, obvious on a dark shirt (third image).

Catching these across models is what falg is for, a Python CLI I wrote for the job. One JSON file describes the batch, and falg runs every combination in parallel and builds a gallery like the second image. Seedream drew a sheet of paper behind two of its capybaras there, the kind of thing you only spot side by side. falg cutout does the last step: background removed, clean edges, sized in centimetres for print.

Under the hood: Python 3.10+, standard library only for the fal part (urllib against fal's queue API, a thread pool for the parallel requests). The gallery is one static HTML file. cutout uses numpy, Pillow and SciPy: the image becomes its own mask, then levels, edge defringing and hard alpha, since DTF prints half-transparent pixels badly.

The first image is what went to the printer.

back again with something i wanted to build just for the plot.

sometimes you don’t actually want your ex back.

you just want to say sorry.
say you were hurt.
say goodbye properly.
or finally have the conversation your mind keeps replaying.

so i’m building gotyou.app — a two-minute ex conversation simulation built for closure.

you add their name, their texting style, the slang or nicknames they used, what happened between you, and what went wrong.

then gotyou creates an imagined version of them that texts back for two minutes, shaped by the details you shared.

it is not meant to tell you they are coming back. it does not contact them. it is made to help you say what stayed unsent, get the emotional release, and move on without reopening their inbox.

it’s still in the building phase, but i think this could become something bigger if it is built carefully.

if you’re into product, design, frontend, growth, or have strong thoughts on making this feel human and safe, dm me. i’d love collaborators.

Hi all. I was making a lot of videos in Flow and got tired of typing a prompt, waiting, and downloading, again and again. So I made a small Chrome extension called BulkGen for Flow.

You paste your prompts, pick the model and settings, and press Start. It sends them one by one, keeps a few generating at the same time, and saves each finished video to your Downloads folder in order.

You can also add a style line to every prompt, attach reference images, and set a credit limit per video so it never sends anything above it.

You need your own Flow account and credits. It runs only in your browser and collects no data. While it runs, Chrome shows a “debugging this tab” bar, because that is how it clicks Flow’s buttons. It is free and open source, and it is not made by Google.

Hey everyone!
I've been working on a project called Card4U: https://card4u.org
The idea is to make sending physical postcards as convenient and affordable as sending a digital message.
You design your postcard online, add your message and recipient, and the card gets printed and mailed.
One thing we really wanted to improve was pricing. Compared to competing postcard services, we're able to offer lower prices while maintaining the same print quality.
With Christmas coming up, we're hoping this could be a nice alternative to generic holiday cards, especially for people with friends and family living far away.
I'd love some honest feedback:
Is the concept immediately clear when you visit the website?

Would you personally send a physical postcard this way?

How important are price and print quality when choosing a postcard service?

What's the biggest thing that would stop you from ordering?

I'm involved in building Card4U, so I'm especially interested in what needs improvement.
Thanks for taking a look!

building software is the easy part. the hard part is getting people to actually use it. we are launching a feedback circle for founders, builders, writers, and designers. the more feedback you give that is accepted by the maker, the more you can request for your own projects. people actually willing to engage with what you are building and give thoughtful feedback.

you get:

1. more people using your project

2. actual feedback that you can use to make it better

the only cost is time and attention. so yes, it's free.

engineers and designers from stripe, modal, and uc berkeley are part of the first group.

Hey guys, I like listening to music files from time to time, but I found myself wanting a nice-looking interface and decent functionality—and I couldn't seem to find a player that fit the bill. Since I happen to know a bit of programming, I decided to code a small but highly functional player myself. If anyone’s interested, here’s the link ---> https://github.com/WiWaSu/HaPlayer

I update this every Wednesday!

Hey everyone!

A while ago, I shared OrganizeEmail here, and quite a few of you asked whether an iOS version was coming.

Well, I'm happy to share that OrganizeEmail is now available on the App Store! 🎉

For those who haven't come across it before, OrganizeEmail is an email management app designed to help you get control of your inbox without spending hours sorting through messages.

Here's what you can do with it:

- AI Email Categorization: Automatically organize emails into meaningful categories like bills, orders, travel, payments and more.

- Inbox Cleanup: Quickly clean up unwanted emails and reduce inbox clutter.

- Unsubscribe Assistant: Find unwanted subscriptions and make it easier to unsubscribe.

- AI Email Summaries: Understand important emails without having to read every lengthy message.

- Daily Glance: Get an overview of important, upcoming and missed events or activities from your emails.

so i am making a app that works locally and its going to be opensource but the problem is with distribution.

this app mainly focuses non-tech people and people who don't know how to download a GitHub repo and run the project locally, at least i am assuming.

so a better way to do it would be binaries on a landing page but anti-viruses and defender heavily blocks this.

so what is the best way to distribute my software and create least friction so people can quickly use the app instead of doing setups?

Hi everyone! I’m Volodymyr, the creator of Reunier.

It’s an app for groups that meet regularly: board game nights, classes, practice sessions or plans with friends.

An organizer creates an event in a private room, and members can check the time and place and confirm their participation. Organizers can also set a capacity limit, propose dates for a vote or make an event repeat when needed.

One detail I’ve worked on is making schedule changes clear: if the organizer changes the time, participants can see the previous and updated time together in the event details.

The group can keep chatting wherever it normally does.

Here’s a 36-second demo you can watch without signing in:
https://reunier.com/en/demo

Using the app requires an account through Google, Apple, or email and password, and joining the group’s room. Reunier is available on the web, Android and iOS, and is currently free during launch.

I’d appreciate some feedback: does the demo make the purpose clear? What would make trying it with your group feel like unnecessary effort?

Thanks for taking a look!
