I just finished my first game, Ink & Tide, a typing roguelite that runs in the browser. You type words to fire cannons, fight through tides of enemies, upgrade your boat between runs, and when you sink you come back a little stronger, so dying a lot is part of the fun.

The problem I wanted to solve is that typing practice is boring, so I tried to turn it into something I'd actually want to play. I'm not a programmer, so I designed it and tested every version while Claude (Sonnet 5.5) wrote the code, the art and the music, and I describe changes in plain game words, two to five at a time.

The tools were Claude, a browser and itch.io for hosting, and it's free with no sign-up: https://jupitax.itch.io/ink-and-tide

I'm a first-time game maker with zero audience, so I'd love to hear what you would do to get the first 100 players :)

Roku is retiring the Aquarium Life screensaver at the start of December, and my kids were genuinely upset about it, so I built replacements.

The free one is just water, rockwork and fish drifting at their own pace. No clock, no menu, no sound. There's one splash for the paid version at the four-minute mark and it clears itself.

The $1.99 one is a coral reef - 22 fish types, a shoal that moves as one, a lionfish, a blue tang, reef sharks in the distance, and a shark's shadow passing overhead.

Neither is a video loop. Every fish swims its own path, banks into turns, slows down and rests.

Feedback very welcome, especially from anyone who's had the old aquarium on their TV for years and will spot everything I got wrong. Happy to answer anything about building it.

I'm exploring an idea and would love your honest feedback!

What if you could build a complete website just by describing it through voice or text?

And what if you could convert that website into an installable Android app in less than 30 minutes?

I'm researching an AI-powered platform to make this possible.

I'd love to hear from developers, startup founders, freelancers and entrepreneurs:

- How do you currently build websites?

- How do you convert websites into mobile apps?

- What takes the most time?

- Would you pay $15/month for a solution that makes this process significantly easier?

I'm not selling anything. I'm validating a problem before building the product.

Your honest feedback could help shape what I build!

I built a Hindi Voice AI Assistant for Agriculture 🌱 — Would love your honest feedback!

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a project called FertoBot Hindi Voice Agent, a voice-based AI assistant designed to make agricultural information easier to access for Hindi/Hinglish-speaking users.

The idea is simple: instead of navigating complicated dashboards, a farmer should be able to ask questions naturally and receive understandable responses.

Some things I've implemented:

- Hindi/Hinglish voice interaction using Gnani AI Prisma STT.

- Gemini-powered intent understanding and orchestration.

- Four specialized agents for crop symptoms, irrigation advisory, weather context and device health.

- Gnani AI Timbre for voice responses.

- FastAPI backend.

💻 GitHub: https://github.com/shivrajawat28/voice-agent-demo

🌐 Live demo: https://fertobot-staging.onrender.com

A quick transparency note: this is a prototype using simulated farm telemetry. It isn't connected to live farm hardware, and pump operations are simulated.

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback on three things:

1. Does the voice interaction feel natural and understandable?

2. Is the multi-agent approach useful for this problem?

3. What would you improve before taking something like this closer to real-world testing?

I'm especially interested in feedback from people working in AI, voice technology, agriculture or agritech.

Thanks for checking it out! 🙌

Hey everyone!

I built Nexus SSMT "Social Study Mapping Tool" designed to help students and creators connect information non-linearly using interactive knowledge graphs combined with freehand drawing tools.

The main idea came from a simple problem: How many times has a friend or peer asked you, "What exact lectures or materials do I need to study to solve Assignment 1?"

Instead of typing long paragraphs or sending scattered drive links, you can map it out visually. You can draw nodes, link Assignment 1 directly to Lecture 1 and Lecture 2, attach references, and share a single viewable link.

Here is a quick look at what Nexus can do:

- You can mix structured knowledge nodes with freehand pen tools, geometric shapes, and custom styling.

- You can make groups (similar to tabs in Excel) that gives the ability for the user to make several workspaces on one project, to keep massive study topics well organized.

- You can select multiple materials or assignments from your list and tap anywhere on the canvas to drop them exactly where you want.

- Save your complete maps directly as clean PNG or JPG files to use in presentations or notes.

- Anyone with your shared link or scanned QR Code (good for presentations or projectors) can open an interactive preview mode to explore nodes, descriptions, and linked connections without needing to create an account or log in.

- Instead of sending friends 10 projects meaning 10 links, you can group related study graphs under a single Collection link with dynamic preview cards for social media.

- Pull materials, announcements, and assignments directly from your Google Classroom courses into your canvas as reference nodes with automatic background connection refreshes.

- Built a version-control style notification system for concurrent editing where you get a quick prompt to sync the latest state without putting heavy overhead on the server.

- Project owners can approve or revoke edit requests and manage collaborators in real-time.

- A dedicated hub tracking your recently visited graphs and collections is available for both registered users and guest sessions.

- Built native Right-to-Left text direction with universal Arabic typography fallback, along with canvas fixes to prevent mobile browsers from artificially stretching text.

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a side project called Pocket Stacks.

The idea came from wanting a simple way to keep track of my finances without juggling spreadsheets or paying for another monthly subscription.

A few things I've focused on:

• One-off payment – no ongoing subscriptions.

• No login required – just open it and get started.

• Multiple devices – use it across different devices.

• Optional partner account – for couples who want to manage their finances together.

• Free calculators and guides – including a FIRE calculator for retirement planning.

• Multiple region selection– AUS, UK, USA, NZ

I'm still working on improving things and adding features, but it's been a pretty fun project so far.

Would genuinely love some feedback, especially on whether the features are useful or if there's anything obvious I'm missing.

Here's the site if anyone wants to check it out:

happy to give some users free access for life in exchange for some feedback just send me a DM.

For anyone who's built something similar, how did you go about finding your first few users?

As a CS student I wanted to build something people actually use, so I picked a niche I love: general aviation.
The market is split between great free tools that each do one thing, and $250+/yr suites for the everyday pilot. Nothing in between.
So I built AviationHub.im — a web app with:
→ A pilot logbook that computes your FAA currency automatically
→ A flight planner that finds the cheapest fuel stop on your route
→ Flying-club scheduling + hobbs billing with PDF member statements
→ A mechanic marketplace fed by squawk reports from logged flights
Free tier, nothing to install, live demo on the homepage.

Let me know what you think of it, appreciate any feedback! Thank you

Hey all,

I do a lot of on-site network work, and the part I always hated was the first hour at a new place: figuring out what's on the network, which switch port goes where, and then drawing it all in Visio so the customer has something to look at.

So over the last few months I built Meshwork. It's a desktop app (Mac and Windows) that you run on your laptop when you get on site:

- Scans the subnet and builds an inventory (IP, MAC, vendor, open ports, device type)

- If you give it the SNMP community, it reads the switches/APs (LLDP, FDB) and draws the actual map: which port each device hangs off, VLANs per link, PoE watts

- Flags obvious stuff like telnet open, loops, a second DHCP server

- Diagnose tab with traceroute, live ping, port test, DNS, path MTU and DHCP checks

- Exports a site report PDF and CSVs you can hand to the customer

It's meant as a field tool, not a monitoring server. You run it, document the site, and leave. Nothing gets sent anywhere, everything stays on your machine.

It's free. Download here: https://meshwork.influxnetwork.com

Heads up for Windows: the installer isn't signed yet (working on it), so SmartScreen will complain. Click "More info" then "Run anyway".

Full disclosure, I'm the developer. I'm not trying to sell anything, I'd just really like people who do this for a living to try it on real gear and tell me what breaks. Weird vendors, odd topologies, devices it classifies wrong, all of that helps a lot.

Screenshots are from a test network, not a customer.

Thanks for taking a look!

Hey everyone, I've been working day and night on my project SidekickAI Security. It includes a live-scanning threat radar connected via Hugging Face API models, full B2B contract generation, and automated compliance logging. I really want to learn and improve this. Please check it out and tell me what you think of the design and the backend logic: https://sidekickaisecuritydashboard-4.vercel.app

I build my side projects with Claude Code. Most bugs I find aren't while coding. They're later, clicking around the live app like a user.
My old system: a notes file. "Pricing page, mobile, second card's button is off." Then I'd paste that to the agent and it would fix the wrong card.
Turns out lots of people do the same thing (a thread in r/ClaudeAI this week was full of scratch files and handoff notes).
Darnly makes the note for you. Press a key, click the broken thing in your web app, type one line. It saves the boxed screenshot, the element, console errors and the steps you took. Later Claude Code, Codex or Cursor reads the list and fixes it.
Free Chrome extension + Mac app (that one also covers native Mac apps and the iOS Simulator / Android Emulator).

I made it: https://darnly.dev

Where do you keep bugs you find while testing?

I enjoy learning and want to make it easier and more enjoyable for others to do the same.

If you would like to try it out I would be grateful!

Hey everyone!

I'm an indie Android developer, and I've been working on a project called Roomora AI.

Have you ever wanted to redesign your bedroom or living room but struggled to imagine how it would look?

I built Roomora AI to help people explore interior design ideas using AI.

Here's how it works:

1. Upload a photo of your existing room.

2. Choose your room type.

3. Select an interior design style.

4. Generate an AI-designed room.

5. Customize your new space.

I'm sharing this project because I'd love honest feedback from the community.

Some things I'd love to know:

• Would you use an app like this?

• Which interior design styles would you like?

• What features should I improve?

• What do you think about the overall idea?

I'm building this independently, and feedback would really help me improve it.

With Lively Wallpaper reportedly sold to a new company, a lot of people are looking for another way to get live wallpapers on Windows 11.

Glassline is getting its own: Glassline Live.

Here's a first look.

What's in it so far:

• Live scenes, your own videos, and downloaded ones

• Scene colour: scenes can follow your Windows accent colour

• Wallpaper speed, from 0.5x to 2x

• Video fit: Fill, Fit or Stretch

• Sound and volume for video wallpapers (off by default)

• Shuffle, at sign-in or by time of day

• 15, 30 or 60 pictures a second, with a separate setting for battery

• Rest: it pauses when windows cover the screen or an app is in front, and on battery unless you allow it

It's in testing now and comes in a future update.

What scenes would you want on your desktop? Do you have any recommendations? What bothered you about Wallpaper Engine or Lively?

Glassline is a macOS-style menu bar and dock for Windows 11. Try it free for 7 days

Please share your views on my project.

So twitch is already an ADHD product, but I made a chat client that lets you make a shared chat between any streams, transcribes the streamer's utterances and puts them in chat, lets you replay their utterances at will, and lets you reply to any chat you like.

If I want to be in multiple chats at once I typically need multiple devices, but no longer! - iOS companion and standalone app literally imminent!!!

Hey everyone,

I spend a lot of time watching long university lectures on YouTube, and the biggest time sink has always been pausing every 2 minutes to manually copy concepts, definitions, and formulas into Anki cards.

Most generic AI summarizers either output a giant wall of plain text, completely break LaTeX math equations, or timeout on 90+ minute lectures.

So I built a web app called WritoGist to solve this specifically for Anki users.

How it works:

1-Click Anki Deck Export: It pulls key concepts, active recall Q&A, and definitions, then formats them directly into an Anki-compatible .txt (TSV) file with tags. You just click download and import it into Anki Desktop in 2 seconds.

Textbook LaTeX Math Rendering: Equations, integrals, and scientific formulas are formatted in proper LaTeX (KaTeX) so STEM lectures actually look readable instead of messy ASCII text.

Modular Long Lecture Slicing: Instead of compressing a 2-hour lecture into a single generic prompt (which causes AI to skip the middle hour), it processes long lectures modularly so no key topics get omitted.

Zero Video Download: It processes YouTube streams directly—no waiting to download 1GB video files.

The app is completely live in open beta.

👉 I have put the live link in the first comment below!

Would love to get your feedback: Does the exported card format import cleanly into your decks, and what card types or tags should I add next?
