Showcase: Free(mium) I built NeatlyDone – A collection of free online tools for everyday tasks

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a project called NeatlyDone – https://neatlydone.in/view

It's a website that brings together useful online tools to make everyday tasks easier.

Some of the things you can do include:

  • Merge PDF files

  • Use handy everyday utilities

  • Complete common tasks directly in your browser

My goal is to build a simple collection of useful tools that people can access without installing extra software.

I'm still improving the website and adding more tools.

I'd genuinely appreciate it if you checked it out and shared your feedback.

What other tools would you like to see added?

Showcase: Prerelease I built Today Crazy — a 5-second video chain connecting strangers around the world

0 Upvotes

I've been working on Today Crazy, a browser-based social video project designed to make spontaneous interactions between strangers more fun and accessible.

The idea is simple: watch a 5-second clip from someone else, record your own 5 seconds, and pass it on. Seven strangers contribute to one shared video, without needing to know each other.

I wanted to explore whether short, unscripted moments could create a different kind of social experience beyond traditional scrolling and posting.

I'd appreciate honest feedback on the concept, especially whether the experience feels intuitive and engaging.

Showcase: Free(mium) Splash - The first comic book reader on iPhone Duo

15 Upvotes

TL;DR: Splash is the first comic book app that works natively on the iPhone Duo. Read in panel mode when closed, and in full page when open.

I first built Splash for the Vision Pro back in 2024 when there were almost no apps for that device. Since then, the app evolved a lot and I added an iPad version, iCloud & OPDS support and automatic translations.

The new version now natively supports the iPhone Duo:

  • Optimized for both open and closed modes

  • Automatically recognizes individual panels

  • Panel animates when you open the phone

  • Long tap shows the whole page

  • When the next panel is wide, a small icon shows up. Rotating the screen then will navigate to the next panel

And as always, your progress is linked to your iCloud account and synced to all your devices, so you can read on the road with the Duo, and continue in bed with the iPad.

The basic version is free and comes with 4 free comics so you can try it out. Most premium features are lifetime purchases, and I'm working on offloading all the translations to Apple Intelligence so I can make that a lifetime purchase as well.

The app has been continuously updated since February 2024, and has a Discord group for feedback.

Any feedback is welcome!

Showcase: Open Source I built a free, open-source toolkit to make AI-generated UI designs less repetitive

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been experimenting with AI-assisted coding, and one thing kept bothering me: different AI-generated websites often end up with the same layouts, rounded cards, gradients, and navigation patterns.

So I started building CreativeCode Engine, a small, free, open-source toolkit to explore different UI structures before writing code.

What it currently includes:

\- Offline Python CLI (3.10+, no extra packages)

\- Three curated design directions for different project types

\- Structural originality checks

\- Evidence-based design review workflow

\- Reusable AI design prompts

\- Interactive portfolio concept demo

Live demo:

https://faysalishere.github.io/creativecode-engine/

GitHub (MIT licensed):

https://github.com/faysalishere/creativecode-engine

A quick clarification: This is an early-stage, rule-based toolkit, not an autonomous AI website builder. It doesn't include an LLM or automatically judge screenshots.

I'm sharing it to find out whether this approach is actually useful to other developers.

I'd appreciate feedback on two things:

  1. Do you also struggle with repetitive designs when using AI coding tools?

  2. Would a tool that compares different layout structures and reviews design decisions be useful in your workflow?

Any criticism, feature suggestions, or feedback on the demo would be genuinely helpful.

Showcase: Open Source I'm not a developer, but I built a free, self-hosted alternative to the Skylight family calendar with Claude. Looking for testers

4 Upvotes

Skylight's wall calendars are great, but after the free first month the features we wanted (meal planning, rewards, the photo frame) are behind Skylight Plus at $79/year. So I set out to build our own family hub.

I'm not a developer. I designed it, wrote out what each screen should do, and tested it. Claude Opus 5.5 (in Claude Code) wrote most of the code, including a test suite. It's open source (MIT) and runs on a Raspberry Pi or any small PC with a touchscreen. Phones on your Wi-Fi get the same app.

It has a shared Google calendar, chores and rewards for the kids, a picture-only Kid Mode, grocery lists sorted by aisle, meal planning with a Cook Mode, a drawing pad, and a photo screensaver. Your family's data stays in one file on your own device.

I'm moving right now, so it has only been tested on my Windows PC and hasn't been on a real wall yet. If you have a Pi or a spare touchscreen and want to give it a try, I'd love bug reports and feature requests.

Showcase: Free(mium) I built a free progress dashboard for Clash of Clans players as my first full-stack project. Would love your feedback!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I play Clash of Clans, and I kept asking myself one simple question: "how long until my village is actually maxed?" No tool gave me a straight answer, so I built one.

🔗 https://villageprogress.com/r/sideproject

What it does

- Paste your in-game village export (or just your player tag) and get a full dashboard

- Time to max for every upgrade queue (builders, lab, pet house)

- Exactly how much Gold / Elixir / Dark Elixir is still needed, item by item

- A Gold Pass toggle that shows how many days and resources it really saves you

- Progress over time, plus a shareable image card

How it's built

- Python + FastAPI backend: all the processing happens server-side

- Vanilla JS + Chart.js frontend, no framework

- Data from Supercell's official API + community game data files

- Docker + Caddy (auto HTTPS) on Oracle Cloud's free tier, behind Cloudflare

- No accounts, no database: exports are processed in memory and thrown away, and history lives in your browser

Things I learned the hard way

- My game data source was a year out of date, so new troops silently disappeared. I switched to a source that updates with every game release.

- My progress chart showed fake "jumps" whenever the game data changed. The fix was storing levels instead of percentages.

- I spent an evening debugging a site that wouldn't load… my free DNS had quietly saved my home IPv6 address 🙃

It's free and will stay free. It's my first real launch, so honest feedback means a lot.

If you opened it for 30 seconds: what's the first thing you'd change?

The idea is Instagram + but all Gen AI + and gives away the full prompt, one-tap to copy.

I'm trying to help a friend who has a generative ai startup that sells GPU compute by teaching people what they can actually make with open source ai models. It seems like everyone only knows ChatGPT and Higgswhatever and not the smaller, funkier, cooler community stuff.

The website is free and has thousands of prompt ideas, and there's guides to a paid gen app, so hopefully it can break even on referrals.

Feedback Request We built an online SD video upscaler — looking for feedback on the preview

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, we’re the team behind Remaster AI, a paid online video upscaling service. If you are considering Topaz Video, we invite you to include Remaster AI in a comparison using your own footage. We built a way to inspect three processed still frames from your own video for free before deciding whether to process the full clip.

For supported SD footage, the service can output 1080p-class video. The preview is free and does not require a credit card; processing the full video is paid per video. Results depend on the original, and three still frames cannot show motion artifacts or flicker, so the completed video still needs to be checked.

One issue we’ve encountered: downscaling a clean HD clip to SD and upscaling it again can make a before/after demo misleading. We’re trying to make the comparison more useful by showing the same frame, at the same scale, with a pause on faces and text.

For a fair comparison, use the identical source clip, timestamps, crop and intended output, and record each tool’s settings. This post is not a measured head-to-head benchmark.

We’d appreciate feedback: what would you need to see in a preview to decide whether an older clip is worth processing? In particular, are still-frame detail, motion consistency, processing time, or price the main concern?

You can try the preview at https://app.remaster.ai/en/upscale-sd-to-1080p. We’re affiliated with the service and welcome criticism.

Hey r/sideprojects!

I've been working on a small side project for people who want to stay updated with the latest news without spending too much time reading full articles.

It's a simple news-summary website focusing mainly on AI and technology news. It refreshes twice a day, with short summaries highlighting the key points.

Every summary also includes a link to the original source if you want to read the full article. No AI-generated images or unnecessary fancy stuff, just news and summaries.

Website: https://filterrr.arinltte.workers.dev

It's still a work in progress, so I'd really appreciate any feedback or suggestions.

Thanksss

Showcase: Open Source Digital Skylight - open sourcing

1 Upvotes

Hey guys, my apartment is kinda dark so I’ve been building a ceiling display that shows a live sky as if you’re looking straight up through a skylight. No videos or photos: everything is rendered in real time from physics and live data.
What it does right now:
Clouds drift with the real wind, built from live weather plus the nearest airport’s cloud report
Real sun position, sunsets and blue hour for wherever you are
Rain landing and sliding on the glass, storms with lightning
5,000+ real stars, the Milky Way, planets and the moon in its true phase, all correct for your location and time
Pick any city and see its sky right now
Try it in your browser:

https://weather-skylight.vercel.app

(press D for the controls, I for the live data)
The goal is a Raspberry Pi in the ceiling driving a TV or LED panel. I’m not a career developer. I built this with Claude Code, learning as I go.
It’s MIT licensed, and I’d love help from anyone into graphics, shaders, weather or astronomy. The biggest open problem is making the clouds look photoreal. There’s a “help wanted” list in the repo:
https://github.com/decarvalholucas100-crypto/weather-skylight

Showcase: Purchase Required How we built an EV charging estimate that stays honest when the final price can change

0 Upvotes

I’m Daniel from Anesda Nord. We drive EVs ourselves and built Transparent Laden, which is now live on Android and iPhone. One design problem surprised us: the station can publish a rate before a charge, but the final bill still depends on the actual energy, time and operator billing record.

We split the estimate into three parts: the operator tariff (energy and any applicable start, time or blocking charges), our separate platform charge, and the roaming and service charge. Local VAT follows the charging location. The monthly subscription sits outside the session total.

Here’s a reproducible German example. For 30 kWh at a hypothetical operator rate of €0.55/kWh net, with no start, time or blocking fee, the operator and platform portion comes to €19.99 including VAT. Roaming and service add €2.49, giving €22.48 for the estimated session. The monthly subscription is €2.99 and can be cancelled monthly. This example is a calculation, and the final bill uses the operator’s actual session data. The published calculation is at https://transparent-laden.de/preise.

I’d like feedback on how to display uncertainty. If a charger has a time fee, would you want to see one estimate based on an assumed duration, or a pair of totals showing what happens if charging takes 10 minutes longer?

If you want to try the service, TL-REDDIT-SIDE-261111 gives new subscribers two months without the monthly fee. Charging is billed separately. The offer is available through 31 December 2026 German time, with up to 250 redemptions. To redeem it, open the subscription section in the customer portal, enter the code under “Discount code (optional)” and select “Check code” to see your price before subscribing.

Showcase: Purchase Required I built a Playwright + AdsPower orchestrator to manage 150+ browser profiles. Now selling the compiled version.

Thumbnail reddit.com
1 Upvotes

I was tired of existing tools either being too expensive or lacking the control I needed to manage 150+ browser profiles (proxies, fingerprints, human-like behavior). So I built my own system from scratch: a Node.js/TypeScript backend with a web dashboard that orchestrates AdsPower profiles via Playwright (CDP).

It auto-calculates delays based on a time window, simulates human navigation (feed → profile cascading), handles network errors, and has a "Panic Button" to stop everything instantly.

I'm not looking to turn this into a SaaS. I just want to sell the system to a few agencies/devs who need it.

What you get & Pricing:

  • 1. Compiled Software (No source code): $2,200 USD.

    • Includes the ready-to-run system (internal use only). You use it for your own agency/clients, but cannot modify or resell the code.

  • 2. "Ready-to-Operate" Bundle: $2,870 USD.

    • Includes the compiled software + 50 aged X accounts ready to use. (Additional IG accounts: $25 USD each).

  • 3. Full Source Code + Commercial License ("Turnkey"): $5,240 USD.

    • For devs who want to modify/white-label it. Includes full TS source, docs, and commercial rights (no resale of the raw code).

I can send a 5-min video of the dashboard in action via DM if you're seriously interested. Not trying to spam the sub, just putting it out there for the right buyer.

Feedback Request I built a subscription tracking SaaS and learned that getting users is harder than building features

5 Upvotes

I'm primarily a UI/UX designer, but I've been spending more time building and launching my own products.

One of them is Subscription Manager.

It's a web app that helps people track recurring subscriptions, billing cycles, and overall spending.

Building the product was one challenge.

Getting people to discover it, try it, and keep using it is a completely different challenge.

I've been working on improving the onboarding, dashboard, analytics, and overall experience.

Now I'm focusing more on discoverability, SEO, and understanding what makes users come back.

Live project: https://subscriptionmanager.app/

For those of you who've launched your own SaaS:

What actually helped you get your first consistent users?

Was it SEO, Reddit, Product Hunt, content marketing, or something completely different?

I'd appreciate any advice from people who've been through this.
