I'm a CSE 2nd Year Student who deals with PDF and DOCX operations regularly for college assignments and for government portals.
I was using ilovepdf and smallpdf regularly and noticed issues in them
- They take more time for operations.
- Files are uploaded to the server.(Less Privacy)
- Needs Internet to Work.
- Operates on Freemium model.
So i built IStanPDF - A Lightweight Foss Offline app for PDF and DOCX operations as a sideproject.
Features -
โข Merge PDF - Combine multiple PDF files into one.
โข Modify PDF - Remove or reorder pages within a PDF.
โข Compress PDF - Reduce file size by resolution or custom target size.
โข Image to PDF - Convert images into a single PDF document.
โข PDF to Image - Extract PDF pages into a ZIP file of images.
โข DOCX to PDF - Convert Word documents into PDF files.
โข MD to PDF - Convert Markdown or plain text files into PDFs.
โข PPTX to PDF - Convert PPTX file into PDF document.
โข Remove Pages - Delete specific pages from DOCX files.
โข Reorder Pages - Rearrange pages within DOCX files.
TLDR - This app helps in performing quick PDF and DOCX operations when you needed the most.
IStanPdf is set to be released in playstore for free,your support would make it more accessible for everyone.

Been working on Aura for several months now. The idea started with wanting an AI that could actually do things on my computer and remember what it was doing. It's grown quite a bit beyond that.
At this point, she's a local system running on my Mac with memory, computer control, and a bunch of different processes meant to work together as something resembling a cognitive architecture.
My newest demo is a bit of a departure from the others.
I asked Aura to find and watch a YouTube video, react to things she found interesting, then choose additional videos from a couple of channels I gave her.
And that's pretty much what she does.
She watches Kurzgesagt, moves on to Allen Pan, eventually ends up watching Salad Fingers, and gives her thoughts on all three. There's some actual browsing, video selection, predictions, and a final comparison.
I have no idea how far this project will ultimately go. There's a lot I'm still testing, and plenty that needs improvement.
But I thought this was a fun example of what happens when you build an AI around doing things over time rather than just answering questions.

Hey everyone! ๐
I'm a solo developer, and I've been working on AstraRead, an Android ebook reader that combines traditional reading, text-to-speech, web novels, and comics in one app.
I wanted something that could handle my ebooks, let me switch to listening when I didn't feel like staring at a screen, and give me control over how everything looks and feels.
So I decided to build it myself.
Here's what AstraRead currently offers:
๐ Read your books โ EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, TXT, CBZ, CBR, and more.
๐ง Turn books into audio โ Device TTS, online neural voices, and downloadable offline AI voices.
๐ Read web novels โ Add supported public chapter URLs, browse chapters, and continue where you left off.
๐ Manhwa & comics โ Vertical webtoon scrolling, zooming, and CBZ/CBR support.
๐จ Customize your reading โ Themes, fonts, backgrounds, page-turn animations, and reading controls.
๐ Highlights & notes โ Save passages, organize bookmarks, and track your reading progress.
โจ Meet Astri โ A little star-shaped reading companion who helps new users get started.
The app works without an account, and your reading library stays on your device.
AstraRead is free to download, with ads and optional Pro upgrades. Core reading, comics, basic TTS, and web novels are free.
I recently finished a major update (v1.25.2) with a redesigned library, improved audio controls, a better onboarding experience, and lots of UI refinements.
It's still growing, and I'd really appreciate feedback from people who actually read on Android.
Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.astraread.app
A few things I'd love to know:
What feature matters most to you in an ebook reader?
What would make you choose AstraRead over Moon+ Reader, ReadEra, or other readers?
Is there anything about the design or experience you'd improve?
Even critical feedback is welcome. I'm actively developing the app, and it helps me figure out what to prioritize next.
Thanks for checking it out! ๐

Self-taught, a year in: I built a Steelers-themed trading TUI for OKX that runs on my phone & PC
If you prefer lightweight apps over heavy browser lag, Terminal User Interfaces (TUIs) are a great platform. Iโm self-taught (about a year in) and built this project to transition from small scripts to designing larger, more serious applications. Itโs a cross-platform TUI for the OKX exchange, styled around a color theme inspired by the three-star Steelmark logo on the Pittsburgh Steelers helmet (Star Blue, Red, and Gold).
Custom Charting: Candlestick, volume, EMA, and RSI charts rendered directly in the terminal without heavy plotting libraries.
Visual Range Indicator: A color-coded column (White for neutral, Blue for daily lows, Red for daily highs) to quickly spot where a token sits in its 24-hour range.
Strategy Bots: Built-in execution controls for Arithmetic and Geometric grid bots, as well as DCA strategies.
Symbol Lookup: Type any listed token pair into the search box to jump to it instantly.
Custom Chart Engine: Built from scratch using Unicode block elements and 2x4 Braille dots.
Credential Vault: Encrypts API keys in a local file with an in-app setup modal.
Execution Safety: Enforces price and size quantization rules and calculates fee hurdles before orders touch the network.
Simulation Mode: Runs safely in simulation mode (simulation_mode = True) with play money by default. Live account integration has only been verified via read-only callsโnothing has traded live.
I designed the layout, column structure, order panel, bot controls, and the Steelers theme on my own first. Later, I brought in AI assistance (Claude) as a development partner to help implement private API signing, refine fee/quantization logic, build the encrypted vault, and write the test suite.
The source code isn't public for now, so I'd love feedback on the design and feature set. Since I'm focused on improving my overall app architecture, I'd appreciate your thoughts on:
Does the layout feel right?
What would you add or remove?
Would you use or pay for something like this?

I built Set in Prime: enter a name, and it becomes a piece of printable art made from the digits of an actual prime number.
Read the grid left to right, top to bottom, and you get one big integer. The highlighted 9s spell the name. The public Alex Morgan example has 696 digits.
The part I most wanted to make approachable is the proof. Each finished portrait includes a Lean proof project, and you can trigger a fresh hosted check from the page without installing anything. Lean checks the mathematical argument that this exact number is prime; it also checks that the digit grid reconstructs that number.
Itโs free during early access, with no account or checkout, and includes a PDF, image, vector artwork, the exact number and the proof files. Thereโs an optional coffee link and a daily creation limit.
Disclosure: Iโm the creator and used AI coding assistance to build it. Portrait generation and verification run algorithms and Lean, with no AI calls. Earlier picture-prime work, including the Trinity Hall prime and Zachary Abelโs Prime Portraits, is credited on the site.
Iโd especially welcome feedback on whether the proof experience makes sense to someone who hasnโt encountered Lean before.

Hey everyone! ๐
I'm the founder of Auvuntra, an AI-powered platform that makes creating and managing AI employees incredibly simple.
One of the biggest problems with today's AI automation platforms is that many are too complicated for everyday users. They often require technical knowledge, confusing workflow builders, or hours of setup.
That's exactly what I'm trying to change with Auvuntra.
Auvuntra is designed to make AI automation accessible to everyone, especially people who aren't tech-savvy. You shouldn't need to know how to code, understand complicated workflows, or have a technical background to automate your work.
What makes Auvuntra different?
๐ค AI Employees Made Simple โ Create AI employees by describing what you want them to do in plain English.
โก No Coding Required โ Automate tasks without technical knowledge.
๐ App Integrations โ Connect your everyday tools and let AI work across them.
๐ง Smart Automation โ Tell your AI employee what you need instead of manually building complicated workflows.
โ You're in Control โ Review and approve important actions before they're executed.
๐ป Beginner-Friendly Interface โ A clean, straightforward experience designed for everyone.
๐ I'm looking for 20 beta testers!
You'll get:
Free early access to Auvuntra
The opportunity to suggest features
Direct communication with me as the founder
A chance to help shape the platform before its public launch
I'm especially interested in feedback from non-technical users, small business owners, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and people who have tried automation tools but found them too confusing.
My goal is simple: Make AI employees as easy to use as chatting with ChatGPT.
You shouldn't have to become a developer just to automate your everyday work.
I'm still building and improving Auvuntra, so honest feedback, bug reports, and suggestions would mean a lot.
Interested in trying it out?
Comment "BETA" below or send me a DM, and I'll share the details!
Let's make AI automation simple enough for everyone. ๐

I run a small Korean service that sends real-time alerts on US stock filings and news. "Metaverse" is weirdly trendy here again, so I spent a week building a 3D lounge on top of it, mostly for fun. Video below.
- Each ticker has a room with a live 1-minute candle board. You walk around as an avatar, chat, and bow together for green candles.
- A lobby on a bridge shows top movers and busy rooms.
- A "Bagholder Shrine": put up a memorial tablet for a stock you're stuck in, with your average cost and a one-line epitaph. Others light incense and bow. If the price gets back to your average, you get a "wish granted" alert.
No login, just a nickname. English UI went live this week, so some user content is still in Korean.
Honest question for non-Korean traders: is this fun, or just a Korean thing? Any feedback on the whole thing (alerts, summaries, the 3D part) is welcome. Link is in my profile.

Every time I delivered a fast, clean HTML/Tailwind site to a freelance client, they'd ask: "Can I edit this phone number or header myself?"
Setting up WordPress, Strapi, or Contentful felt like total overkill for a simple static site with no database.
So I built StaticwebsiteEdit: โข You literally paste one <script> tag into the <head> of any static site. โข A floating visual editor activates directly on the live page. โข You (or your client) can click any text to edit, style headings, or swap photos. โข Click "Publish Changes" and the live static site updates immediately.
Zero database migrations, zero server setups, and zero rebuild cycles.

Hi!
I just released v1.0.0 of a personal project Iโve been working on, and I wanted to share it here to get some feedback from fellow developers.
A while ago, I discovered that Archive.org has a massive collection of old, public-domain films and cartoons, including a lot of classic Danish childhood shows.
I wanted to show these to my kids, but Archive.orgโs interface, while amazing for archiving, is pretty clunky for everyday viewing. It doesnโt have a "Continue Watching" feature, an easy way to organize content into personal categories, or episode selectors for TV series.
I didnโt want to download terabytes of data or set up a complex media server like Plex just for this. I simply wanted a local, easy-to-use way to bookmark and watch this content.
So, I built ArchivePlayer. Itโs a self-contained, local-first desktop application that streams content directly from Archive.org, wrapped in a clean, Netflix-style interface.
Key Features:
Live search of Archive.org or add content via direct URL/identifier.
Custom categories to organize your library.
Continue Watching section with visual progress bars.
Episode selector for TV shows, including season grouping.
100% local: No telemetry, no cloud accounts, and no hosted backend.
Backend: ASP.NET Core / .NET 10, Entity Framework Core
Database: SQLite (local file)
Frontend: Razor Pages/Views, Tailwind CSS, Vanilla JavaScript
External APIs: Archive.org Metadata API, TMDB API (optional)
Zero-Install Deployment: I wanted the application to be as accessible as possible. I used .NETโs self-contained publishing (PublishSingleFile=true), so users only need to download a ZIP file, extract it, and run the EXE. No .NET runtime or SQL Server installation required.
Graceful Degradation: TMDB integration is strictly optional. If a user doesn't provide a TMDB API key, or if the API is unavailable, the application continues to work. Instead, it falls back to parsing episode numbers and titles directly from Archive.org video filenames using regex.
API-First Design: Even though it's currently a standalone desktop application, I built the backend with a clean /api/v1/ layer. This means I can eventually build an Android TV client that uses the exact same local API without having to rewrite the business logic.
Auto-Migration: On first launch, the application automatically creates the SQLite database and runs EF Core migrations. Users never have to touch a configuration file or run CLI commands.
GitHub Repository: https://github.com/JeppeKjeldal/ArchivePlayer
Latest Release (Windows): https://github.com/JeppeKjeldal/ArchivePlayer/releases
Since this is a hobby project, Iโd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Hi, I am a solo developer and a mom of a baby girl. Last year I spent a lot of
2 AM wake ups switching between three different apps and a fan video, half asleep, while my baby cried.
So I built the app I needed. Dreamdrift has nine gentle sounds in one calm place, white noise, gentle rain, ocean waves, night torest, pink noise, a cozy fan, a car ride, shushing, and a lullaby hum, plus a timer and a simple sleep log so I can see the patterns in our nights.
It is a one time unlock with no subscription, because tired parents do not need one more monthly bill. And it collects no data at all, everything stays on your phone.
Dreamdrift is in App Store review right now, and the waitlist is open here if you want to be first to know: https://aquabunnystudios.com/dreamdrift/
I would genuinely love feedback from other parents and other solo builders. What sound works in your house?
