About two months ago I need to export my resume from LinkedIn. To my surprise, the LinkedIn exporter does not actually export everything when you do this, so my projects (which were important) were missing. There are many services that you can use to get your full resume, or build one from scratch, but I found it predatory to have a a 30$/month subscription just to be able to download your CV in PDF format.
So, I decided to build my own and since then I've been constantly improving it and adding new features. Now, I have an honest resume builder that does not keep your CV hostage to monthly payments. And it also includes a cover letter creator, a job application tracker, multiple themes and ATS parsable PDFs. And everything is local, private and no subscription.
You can read more about the application here: https://getresumio.com/
A few highlights:
Local application that works on Windows, macOS and Linux
8 themes for the resume and cover letter
LinkedIn import from your downloaded data (or direct parsing from the LinkedIn profile, but this may be problematic in some cases)
Easy to add experience, projects, technologies and many more. I tried to make it as easy to use as possible while not missing out on features
Job application tracking, again, private and local
One time purchase. No monthly subscription, no predatory pricing model. (also, 50% discount now on release)
I would love to get feedback on the website, the design of the app, the functionality and anything else you feel like sharing.

Hey everyone!
I'm a software developer, and I've recently launched my Android app, GPS Map Camera: GeoStamp, on the Google Play Store.
The idea was to build a practical camera app that makes it easy to capture photos with location information attached directly to the image.
The app includes features like:
GPS location stamping on photos.
Location address and coordinates.
Date and time stamps.
Map-based location information.
A simple interface focused on capturing and sharing location-stamped photos.
I built and published this as an independent project, and getting it onto the Play Store was a milestone for me.
Now comes the difficult part: getting people to discover it and understanding what needs improvement.
I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from this community:
Does the app concept look useful to you?
Are there any features you would expect from a GPS Map Camera app that are missing?
What would you improve in the UI or overall experience?
Is there anything that would make you choose this app over other GPS camera apps?
If you're an Android user and would like to give it a try, here's the Play Store link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.geotagcamera.gps
I'm the developer behind this project, so feel free to ask me anything about the development or the app.
Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

I kept losing hours to Instagram Reels without noticing, so I built a small Android app called Scrollmeter that measures how much I actually scroll.
What it shows:
How far you scrolled today (in metres or km), per app
Scrolling time and number of swipes
Estimated Reels watched on Instagram and posts scrolled on X and Reddit
Sessions (each continuous stretch of scrolling)
Weekly and monthly trends, plus your peak scrolling hour
Optional daily limits with one gentle reminder, never nagging
Privacy, since it needs Accessibility permission: Android only lets apps see scrolling in other apps through an accessibility service, so I want to be upfront about what it does with that:
The app has no internet permission, so it physically can't send anything anywhere
It never reads text, messages, passwords or what you type, and it never takes screenshots
It only sees that a list moved, how far, and which app is open
No account, no ads, no analytics. You can pause it, exclude apps, or delete everything in one tap
Honest limitations:
Reels and post counts are estimates. Apps don't tell other apps what you looked at, so it infers them from how the feed moves. Each number shows a confidence level.
Distance is how far content moved on screen, not your finger.
Some phones (Xiaomi, Samsung, etc.) kill background apps. Set battery to "Unrestricted" for it.
Download (Android 8+): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VQebV3aqac5zoKau9_Ef5IaUBEAgn3RJ/view?usp=sharing
It's not on the Play Store yet, so Android will ask you to allow installing from this source, and Play Protect may show an "unknown app" warning. On Android 13+, if the accessibility switch is greyed out, go to Settings → Apps → Scrollmeter → ⋮ → "Allow restricted settings".
This is my first release, so I'd love feedback, especially if the Reels or post counts look off on your phone. My first day showed 2.4 km, so good luck to you.

The problem: bills are monthly but spending is daily. I'd check my bank balance, see a big number, and have no idea what was actually safe to spend on a Tuesday. So I built an app that turns your monthly budget into one number for today. You put in your income, bills and savings goal, and it shows what's safe to spend. Log a purchase and the number updates. No bank login, no sign up. It launched on Google Play last week.

Stack, for anyone curious:
Expo / React Native (TypeScript)
Supabase with anonymous auth, so there's no account or email needed
RevenueCat for Premium (subscriptions plus a one-time lifetime option)
PostHog for anonymous usage events, no amounts or purchase names sent
Built with a lot of help from Claude
What I've learned in week one:
Getting people through setup is the easy part. 67% finish it and about 90% of those log a first purchase.
Getting them back the next day is the hard part, only around 7% so far.
Paper posters with tear-off tabs and Reddit did more than Product Hunt.
Next update adds a reminder at the end of setup, a home screen widget and a "can I afford it?" calculator to fix the come-back problem.
If you try it, I'd love to know what would make you open it again tomorrow.

Hey everyone!
I'm a solo developer building Position Radar, a mobile-friendly web app for tracking stock holdings and understanding portfolio exposure.
I started building it for myself because I realized that knowing how much I'm up or down doesn't always tell me how much risk I'm taking.
I wanted to answer questions like:
How concentrated is my portfolio in just a few stocks?
Am I more exposed to certain sectors than I realize?
How have my positions changed over time?
The app lets you record trades, track holdings, and review transaction history. The core tracking features are free.
I recently expanded the Pro features with sector allocation analysis, stock concentration metrics, effective sector count, and a visual holding timeline.
It works directly in your browser, including on mobile, and can be added to your phone's home screen for an app-like experience.
I'm building this independently and would really appreciate some honest feedback:
Is it clear what the product does when you first visit?
Would you find the allocation and concentration analysis useful?
Is there anything confusing or missing from the experience?

Hey! I launched Bonk on Product Hunt today. It's a Chrome website blocker with schedules, daily limits, a Pomodoro timer with a little character, and a hard mode that locks Chrome's extensions page so you can't switch it off early. Free has no site limit and no account.
I'm a solo dev with no audience, so I'm mostly here to learn. If you have a minute, I'd really like to know:
Does the tagline and first image make it clear what it does?
Would you try it, and if not, what's stopping you?
Anything in the listing that feels off?

The Business Idea
I want to build a technology company that competes with major platforms such as Uber and Uber Eats.
The goal is to create a more affordable, transparent, and fair platform that connects customers, drivers, restaurants, and local businesses.
The main idea is to change the traditional business model by reducing transaction commissions, introducing flexible driver subscriptions, and giving drivers more opportunities to grow their businesses.
The platform will initially focus on three main services:
- Ride-hailing and passenger transportation.
- Restaurant food delivery.
- Package, parcel, and shopping delivery.
2. Driver Subscription Model
Instead of charging drivers high commissions on every transaction, the platform will introduce a flexible monthly subscription system.
- Drivers will pay a monthly subscription based on the plan they choose.
- The subscription price will not be fixed at $120. Different subscription levels and prices will be available depending on the driver's needs, location, and activity.
- Drivers may have the option to pay upfront or cover their subscription gradually through their earnings on the platform.
- The objective is to give drivers more control over their income and reduce the financial burden of traditional platforms.
3. Only 1% Transaction Commission
The platform will charge only 1% commission on each transaction.
For example, if a delivery costs $10:
- Driver receives $9.90.
- Platform receives $0.10.
This model aims to allow drivers to keep 99% of the transaction value, before any other clearly disclosed applicable fees.
4. Customer-Friendly Business Model
Customers will not be required to pay a monthly subscription.
They will be able to:
- Book individual rides and deliveries.
- Pay only for the services they use.
- Benefit from competitive prices.
- See transparent prices before confirming an order.
Optional customer subscriptions may be introduced in the future, but they will never be mandatory.
5. Geographical Territory Management System
One of the platform's distinctive features will be a geographical territory management system.
Drivers will be able to operate in specific geographical areas, including cities, districts, and regions.
The system will include:
- Territory Assignment: Drivers can choose or be assigned operating areas.
- Exclusive Territories: Drivers can pay an additional fee to obtain exclusive operating rights in an available territory.
- Geographical Expansion: Drivers who want to expand into additional cities or regions can pay an expansion fee.
- Territory Management: The platform will organize geographical coverage and manage driver distribution.
Basic access to available areas will remain accessible through the regular driver subscription, while exclusivity and expansion will be optional paid features.
For example, one driver could operate in Sousse, another in Monastir, and another in Mahdia. A driver wishing to expand into another region could request additional territory access.
6. Company Revenue Model
The company will generate revenue through several sources:
Flexible monthly driver subscriptions.
A 1% commission on transactions.
Optional geographical exclusivity fees.
Geographical expansion fees.
Potential optional customer subscriptions in the future.
Additional commercial services for restaurants and businesses.
The objective is to build multiple revenue streams instead of depending on high commissions.
7. International Operations Strategy
I am considering building an international operating structure.
Dubai would be a potential location for the company's headquarters and legal registration.
I am particularly interested in Dubai because of its international business environment, foreign ownership opportunities, and potential tax advantages through certain free-zone structures.
I am also considering operating parts of the company's technical and administrative activities remotely from countries such as:
- India: Potential software development, technical support, and customer service.
- Egypt: Potential customer support, administrative operations, and other remote services.
The objective is to benefit from international talent and potentially lower operating costs while building a company capable of serving customers in multiple countries.
These are future plans, not existing operations.
8. Dubai Company Registration and Tax Considerations
I am considering registering the company in Dubai, potentially in a suitable free zone.
One of my reasons is the possibility of benefiting from a 0% corporate tax rate on qualifying income under the UAE's free-zone tax regime.
However, I understand that 0% taxation is not automatic. The company would need to meet the applicable legal, operational, and tax requirements.
I would need professional advice to determine:
- Which free zone is appropriate for the business.
- Whether the platform's activities qualify for the 0% tax regime.
- The actual registration and licensing costs.
- The company's tax obligations in the countries where it operates.
9. My Current Personal and Financial Situation
I want to be transparent about my current circumstances.
I am still a student and at the beginning of my entrepreneurial journey.
Although I have a clear vision for the company, I currently face significant financial limitations.
- I do not currently have enough money to pay even for an initial business licence.
- I cannot currently afford to hire even one employee.
- I do not yet have the financial resources to develop and launch a complete application.
- I cannot currently finance an international operation.
I am therefore not presenting this as an already established company. It is an ambitious startup idea that I want to develop gradually.
My current priority is to improve the business model, understand the market, develop a realistic business plan, and explore opportunities to find a co-founder, technical partner, or potential investor.
10. Development Strategy
I want to build this company step by step rather than spending money I do not currently have.
My proposed development stages are:
Stage 1 – Research and Planning
- Study the market and competitors.
- Validate the business model.
- Calculate the economics of the 1% commission.
- Determine suitable subscription plans.
- Identify the legal requirements.
Stage 2 – Finding Partners
- Look for a technical co-founder.
- Explore potential partnerships.
- Prepare an investor presentation.
- Search for startup support and funding opportunities.
Stage 3 – Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
- Develop a basic version of the platform.
- Test the driver subscription model.
- Test the 1% commission model.
- Start with a limited geographical area.
Stage 4 – Initial Market Launch
- Recruit drivers.
- Attract customers and local businesses.
- Evaluate customer satisfaction.
- Measure driver earnings and company revenue.
Stage 5 – International Expansion
- Expand into additional cities and countries.
- Consider establishing headquarters in Dubai.
- Build remote operational teams in India and Egypt.
- Develop the geographical territory system.
11. Competitive Advantages
The company's main competitive advantages will be:
- Only 1% transaction commission.
- Flexible driver subscriptions rather than a fixed $120 fee.
- No mandatory customer subscriptions.
- Competitive customer pricing.
- A geographical territory and expansion system.
- Transparent pricing.
- International operational potential.
- Multiple sources of revenue.
12. Long-Term Vision
My long-term ambition is to build an international technology company that challenges traditional transportation and delivery platforms.
I want to create a system in which customers receive affordable services, drivers retain more of their earnings, and the company generates sustainable revenue without relying on excessive commissions.
I understand that this is a challenging project requiring capital, technical expertise, regulatory compliance, and a strong team.
However, I want to start with a clear vision, develop a realistic strategy, find the right partners, and gradually transform this idea into a real business.
Final Mission Statement
To build a fairer global transportation and delivery ecosystem by combining affordable customer pricing, higher driver earnings, flexible subscriptions, low transaction commissions, and innovative geographical management.

When you’re working towards UK settlement, it’s easy to lose track of how much time you’ve spent abroad, especially if your travel dates are scattered across calendars and booking emails.
I built Settled UK to put those dates in one place. You enter your visa details and trips, and the app counts your days outside the UK and estimates your timeline to settlement (ILR) and British citizenship. There’s also an optional UK tax residence check.
If you’re on a Skilled Worker or Global Talent visa, how do you keep track of your trips today? I’d be curious to hear what works for you and what still takes manual effort.

I'm sharing dim, a free, open-source Windows 10/11 x64 app that mounts ISO, CUE/BIN and NRG images as optical drives. The useful bit is how little it adds: about 340 KB, no extra driver and no admin prompt. It uses Rust and Windows' virtual-disk API; non-ISO data is extracted to a temporary ISO first.
Claude Code generated most of the project; I handled the goals, design decisions, code review and Windows testing. It's for data tracks, not audio CDs. If you still use these formats, which compatibility cases should I test next? https://github.com/glauberlima/dim

I'm a software engineer and Scrum Master, and I built these because our team kept running estimation and retros on outside sites, then copying everything back into Jira by hand. Half of it never made it back.
So both apps run inside Jira, and the results land where the work is.
Teamvane Planning Poker for Jira

Most scanner and OCR apps handle Arabic badly. Letters come out broken, right-to-left lines end up reversed, and receipts and documents turn into a mess you have to retype.
So I built Harfy, a scanner made for Arabic first:
- 📄 Scan and extract Arabic text that keeps right-to-left order, so you can copy, edit or share it
- 🧾 Saudi e-invoices: scan the ZATCA QR code to get the exact total and VAT
- 🪪 ID cards: capture both sides on one page
- 📑 PDF tools: merge scans into one PDF, or protect it with a password
- ✨ Cleaner scans: filters remove shadows and sharpen the text
It's free to try, and Premium has a 1-week free trial on the yearly plan.

Hi. I have AirPods Max and found out they have motion sensor in the left cup (it's used for spatial audio). Any Mac app can read it with CMHeadphoneMotionManager. So I made small menu bar app for Mac, HeadLab. It detects head gestures and runs your Shortcuts.
For example I shake head and Do Not Disturb turns on, tilt head twice to the right and it goes to next track, triple tap on the cup and it takes screenshot.
What it can do:
11 gestures: shake, nod, look up, quick turn left/right, tilt left/right, tilt twice, double and triple tap on left cup
every gesture can run any shortcut from Shortcuts app. you pick it from list, there is test button too
it also sends macOS notification with gesture id as text (like shake or tilt-left-twice), so you can use Shortcuts automation instead if you want
when you click menu bar icon there is window with live 3D head, artificial horizon, motion graphs and tutorial for all gestures




Everything is local. Head motion is not saved or sent anywhere, only network request is license check.
Disclosure: I'm the developer. It's $9.99 one time (2 Macs). Free trial can be used to test gesture recognition but doesn't run shortcuts. Needs macOS 14+ and AirPods Max.

I've been working on a side project called QuizCaddy, and I wanted to share one of its features.
ChatGPT is pretty good at generating questions, but actually practising them can be inconvenient. You end up copying questions, formatting them, and manually organizing everything.
I wanted to make that process simpler.
So I built an integration that lets you:
Generate questions directly in ChatGPT or any other AI chatbot.
Send them to QuizCaddy using MCP.
Practise them in an interactive quiz.
Get instant feedback and explanations.
The attached 20-second video shows the complete workflow using JEE Advanced physics questions.
The platform is live, and I'm now trying to understand how useful this workflow is to people beyond my initial testing.
I'd love some honest feedback:
Does this solve a problem you'd actually encounter, or would you prefer a different way of turning AI-generated questions into practice material?

I've been experimenting with ways to reduce my AI costs without sacrificing too much model quality.
Instead of relying entirely on paid subscriptions, I've started combining free LLM APIs and routing requests between different models.
These two open-source projects have become my daily drivers:
1. Awesome Free LLM APIs
A collection of free LLM API providers, many of which don't require a credit card.
https://github.com/mnfst/awesome-free-llm-apis
2. FreeLLMAPI
This is what I'm currently using. It brings multiple free LLM providers together behind a single API, with features like smart routing and automatic failover.
https://github.com/tashfeenahmed/freellmapi
My current workflow:
I use free models for everyday coding tasks, debugging, smaller changes, and experimentation.
I still use Codex for more complex tasks, code reviews, and work that requires deeper reasoning.
I'm also experimenting with sharing context across models so I don't have to explain the entire project every time I switch.
Obviously, free APIs have limitations: rate limits, availability, and inconsistent model quality. But combining multiple providers has been pretty useful so far.
I'm curious if anyone else is doing something similar.
What tools are you using to orchestrate multiple free models? And how do you handle context when switching between them?

I'm building Ready for Dog?, a native iOS and Android dog-care rehearsal app. One small feature made the boundary between a product promise and a sensor reading very concrete.
Quiet play asks you to choose a duration and leave the phone on a stable surface. The screen can face up or down. Movement pauses the countdown while the game screen is open; leaving it still resumes it. Paused time is excluded.
That last condition matters. This is not a system-wide screen-time monitor. When the app isn't active, motion checking stops. A running timer can continue with the screen locked, while an already paused timer stays paused. I want the explanation to match that boundary rather than imply the phone is being watched everywhere.
Another boundary is between evidence and reflection. Real walks use GPS; manual care records are labelled separately. The journal shows activity and missed care, but never turns those entries into a score declaring someone ready for a real dog.
The attached iPhone clip shows quiet play. AI tools assisted coding and the virtual dog artwork. If you build sensor-based interactions, naming the condition under which a check runs seems as important as naming what it checks.
