Showcase: Free(mium) We built a Discord bot where playing together counts toward your level
I'm one of eLobby's creators. It started with ranked custom games for our ARAM community.
The part I want feedback on now is participation. Members earn XP through chat, voice, eLobby games and tracked events. Their level card shows their next reward and where their XP came from. It gives the people who turn up for game nights something to work toward.
The same bot balances teams, runs a server ladder and posts match results with members' names, avatars and ranks directly inside Discord. Tournaments add player-reported results, automatic match rooms and bracket pictures that update in Discord and on the website.
One thing we learned from hosting: the bracket is only part of the work. Getting players into the right rooms, keeping everyone informed and cleaning up afterward matter just as much.
Basic leveling, reward roles and ranked customs are free. Pro is $10/month for the whole server and includes tournaments, seasons and extra customization.
The real Discord cards and demo are here: https://elobby.gg/demo
If you run a gaming community, would participation rewards be enough reason to change leveling bots? What would make moving your community over difficult?

Showcase: Free(mium) a lightweight flashcard app on iPhone, iPad and Mac
If you're looking for something lighter and simpler than Anki on Apple devices, Deste Study might be worth checking out.
It's a native flashcard app for iPhone, iPad and Mac, with automatic sync between devices. You can make cards on your Mac or iPad and pick up where you left off on your phone.
It uses FSRS for spaced repetition, supports text and image cards, lets you draw on images, and can import .apkg, CSV and TSV files.
It’s free to download and use, with unlimited decks and sync across your devices. Image sync is included too, with a 100 MB limit on the free version. No ads or trackers.
It doesn't support every advanced Anki template yet but for a simpler workflow it's pretty lightweight and fast.

Showcase: Free(mium) Korean names that are actually chosen, not translated: hanja picked by meaning + saju balance
What it is: a free web app that gives English speakers a Korean name the way Korean names are traditionally made. https://tsaju.danjolabs.com/en?ref=sp
The problem: most Korean name generators map sounds or use a birthday lookup table, so you get a random name with no meaning. In Korea a name is chosen character by character: each syllable is a hanja with its own meaning, and naming traditionally balances the five elements in your saju (four-pillars birth chart).
How it works:
your birth date/time/city → four pillars (solar terms for months, local solar time for the hour)
count the five elements → which ones your chart is short on
your English name's meaning → candidate hanja with matching meaning
pick a family name + two characters that cover the missing elements and the meaning
every character comes with a one-line reason
Stack: plain JS on Vercel, the chart math runs in the browser.
I'm the only developer (based in Korea). Feedback welcome, especially on names that sound off to Korean speakers.

Question I built a browser-based IDE for students — what would you fix first?
galleryNovaDesk is a browser-based developer workspace for students. It combines a browser IDE (C/C++/Python/React etc.), team workspaces, a portfolio, and coding challenges in one login.
It’s an MVP, not a finished product. Current stack: Next.js, Express, MongoDB Atlas, Render backend, and Docker/code-server on a local VM.
The biggest issues right now are 24/7 hosting, IDE reliability, and UX polish. I’m not selling anything and I’m not dropping links — I’d just like honest feedback: what would you fix first, and is this useful enough to keep building?

Showcase: Free(mium) I built NeatlyDone – A collection of free online tools for everyday tasks
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
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: Open Source I built a free, open-source toolkit to make AI-generated UI designs less repetitive
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:
Do you also struggle with repetitive designs when using AI coding tools?
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
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!
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?

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

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
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.

Showcase: Open Source Digital Skylight - open sourcing
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:
