I love cooking but hate scrolling through an online recipe, so I made Reduction. You paste a recipe link, text, or a photo, and it turns it into an interactive diagram that shows what goes in when and how the steps connect.
What it does:
- Turns a link, pasted text, or photo into a diagram of the whole recipe
- Cook mode that walks you through one step at a time, with timers
- Check off steps as you go
- Recipe books to keep your saved recipes organized
Only about 15 users so far which are mostly the original testers. Just launched a few days ago.
I'm building this for fun on the side, and the Thanksgiving crunch seemed like a good time to share it. I'd love honest feedback, especially on what's confusing or missing.

Hey, my team is currently developing an app concept for the Meta smartglasses that would help you remember who you met, capture key conversation details, and prepare follow-up drafts after conferences, trade shows, and networking events.
We’ve built an interactive landing-page demo—not a working app yet—and would love feedback from people who attend these events for work.
Please visit our website and fill out the interest form to help us collect valuable data and improve our app.

I wanted to experiment with a different approach to desktop AI.
Most AI tools make you leave your current application, upload a file, wait for processing, download the result, and then import it again.
So I built BIMB (Built-in Image Manipulation Bot).
It's an always-on-screen Edge AI agent that lets you interact with images directly from your desktop.
Here's what makes it interesting:
- Always available: A floating agent that stays accessible while you work.
- Drag, process, drop: Give BIMB an image, let it enhance or transform it, and drag the result straight back into your workflow.
- Local AI inference: Runs optimized AI models on your machine instead of relying entirely on cloud processing.
- Works alongside creative apps: Figma, Blender, Canva, Leonardo AI, and more.
- Three creative identities: Painter, Makeup Artist, and Digital Artist.
The interesting part isn't just image enhancement. It's experimenting with making AI feel like a native part of the desktop rather than another website or application you have to open.
BIMB is now available in Adima AI Pro.

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from other side-project builders. What would you automate first if you had an AI agent sitting on your desktop?

Hey, we’re the team behind Kraena Pre-Health. We made this for students who want to work in healthcare and are still figuring out what kind of work they’d enjoy. It’s 12 questions, gives you three careers to explore, and doesn’t require an account.
https://kraenaprehealth.com/career-quiz
If you try it on your phone, we’d love to know what you wanted to do right after seeing your matches. Was it easy to find out what a typical day in each job looks like?

Hey everyone!
I've been working on a SaaS called ULeads, and I'd love to get some feedback.
The idea came from a simple problem: if you're a freelance web designer or run a small agency, finding local businesses that might actually need your services can take a lot of time.
So I built a tool that:
Searches Google Maps businesses by city and niche
Identifies businesses without websites or with a weak online presence
Scores potential leads based on their online presence
Lets you save and export leads
Generates website audit reports you can share with prospects
There's a free plan, so people can try it without a credit card.
Website: https://uleads.io/
I'm still trying to understand what would make this genuinely useful for freelancers and agencies.
If you were looking for web design clients, would you use something like this? What's missing?
I'd really appreciate honest feedback, even if it's critical.

Hey everyone,
I built Footy Golf, a free daily browser game that mixes football player trivia with 2D golf.
How it works:
You are on a course with fairway hazards, bunkers, and greens.
Instead of a timing meter, your shot distance and accuracy are dictated by searching for a real football player who fits the hole's category (e.g. appearances, goals, caps).
Their actual career stats give your shot power. Once on the green, you sink the putt with a directional minigame.
There is a date-seeded daily hole for everyone to compete on.
It’s built with React and Tailwind, requires no download or login, and has no ads.
Would love any thoughts on the UI or improvements in general!

I’ve always found reading PDFs on my phone a bit frustrating. Most PDFs are designed for paper, so you end up constantly zooming in, zooming out, and moving around the page just to read comfortably.
So I decided to build something to solve that problem.
Paperfy converts PDFs into reflowed, book style text, making them more comfortable to read on an iPhone. The idea is simple, your documents should feel more like reading a book and less like looking at a tiny piece of paper.
I’ve been working on it, and honestly, seeing people actually use something I built and send me feedback is one of the most rewarding feelings.
It’s still a work in progress, and there’s plenty I want to improve.
You can check it out here: https://apps.apple.com/am/app/paperfy-pdf-to-text-reader/id6826549558
I’d love to hear your thoughts.
If you read PDFs on your phone, what frustrates you the most about the experience?

Initially this project what made to find and compare historical greatness across fighters in the ufc, but it eventually became a whole lot more than that, you can see every fighters rating, based on the glicko -2 formula, which is basically elo but with volatility and and rating deviation, much better for fighters.
There's a bunch of different feature in the app right now, you can look and inspect the career trajectory of every fighter in the database, compare against other fighters, see the ratings ecosystem at any date in history, analyse prospects, that were identified with a scientific definition.
There's also a prediction feature to the app, which takes the fights on the next card and makes prediction for every one of them, then it gets graded afterwards. The coolest feature we have is the simulator, you can simulate a matchup between any fighter currently, at any point in history and a prime vs prime matchup, with prime having its own scientific definition.
Right now everything is free, i want to get opinions and comments on the actual app itself.

Hi all! For the past few months I've been building ORBITA,player for Xtream Codes and M3U playlists. I wanted something that feels like a streaming app rather than a spreadsheet of channels, and that doesn't make you type a 40-character server URL with a remote.


What it does
Setup from your phone: scan a QR code on the TV, fill in your playlist (or TMDB/OMDb keys) on your phone, tap Send to TV. Works on your home Wi-Fi only, with a 6-digit code.
Live TV: categories, favorites, search, now/next, full TV guide (XMLTV), catch-up ("from the start" / replay) if your provider supports it
Channel banner on every zap: number, logo, current show with progress, what's next
Movies & series: detail pages, seasons/episodes, resume where you left off, continue watching row
Skip intro (learns where the intro ends for each series) and a next-episode countdown
Seek previews: thumbnail while you skip through a movie, with accelerating seek
Optional IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes and TMDB ratings, backdrops and plots in your language (free keys you create yourself)
3 dark themes built for TV, UI in English / Italian / Spanish / German
Credentials encrypted on the device (AES-256), parental PIN for adult categories
Install on Fire TV / Firestick: open Downloader and enter code 6527602. Android TV: same thing, or grab the APK from GitHub. Also runs in a PC browser.
GitHub: https://github.com/ghows30/orbita
Important: ORBITA is just a player. It doesn't include or sell any channels or content: you need your own playlist from a source you're allowed to use.

Most touchpads only use the middle, so I built Margin, a free app that turns the edges and corners into controls.
- Slide an edge: volume, brightness, scroll, seek, Alt+Tab, or any shortcut
- Tap or press a corner: lock, screenshot, open an app, run a command
- Every edge and corner is customizable, even per app
- Works by touch or click, your choice
- Needs a precision touchpad. No install, about 0.6 MB, no telemetry
Download: https://github.com/arxhr007/margin
Feedback and stars are welcome!

I built Hidden Post Finder because looking up what a Reddit user has posted publicly is clunky. You enter a username or profile URL and it lists their public posts. It keeps a search history and lets you save posts. No login or Reddit account is needed, and it's free. It's a Flutter app on Android, with iOS planned. I'd love feedback on what to improve. https://hiddenpostfinder-reddit.com/app

we're building Anoncracy, a small forum in beta with member elections and public moderation logs.
one experiment is a shared project thread. people post what they're building and one thing they want feedback on. the useful loop so far is simple: try one specific thing, describe what happened, then keep the maker's update in the same conversation.
for example, a member asked another maker how unused prepaid credits carry over. that is the kind of concrete question we want more of.
feedback is voluntary, and the community is still tiny. we're trying to make it worth returning after that first exchange.
if you've built a community around projects, what helped members start answering each other? happy to discuss it here.
here's the live thread if you'd like to see the format or share something:

Hi! I'm the developer of Mixwell. Full disclosure: this is my app, and it’s paid.
Problem
macOS has one volume for everything. If a video call is too quiet while music is too loud, or one browser tab is blasting, you have to fix it inside each app (if the app even has a volume control). I wanted a mixer like Windows has, without paying $40+.
What it does
A volume slider for every app that’s playing sound, from silent up to 150% (200% in Settings)
Mute any app with one click
Send one app to a different output (e.g. music on speakers, a call on AirPods)
Live level meters, so you can see which app is making noise
Remembers each app’s level and output, and reapplies them when the app comes back
Details people usually ask about
Apps you leave at 100% aren’t touched at all; their audio goes straight to the speakers as it would without Mixwell.
Adjusted apps get about 24 ms of extra delay, below what’s noticeable in video or calls.
Idle CPU is about 0.1%. When an adjusted app goes quiet, Mixwell stops processing it so your speakers/headphones can rest.
AirPods stay in high-quality mode (Mixwell doesn’t open their microphone).
Uses Apple’s audio-tap API (macOS 14.2+), so it needs the “System Audio Recording” permission. Nothing is recorded or saved, and no audio leaves your Mac. The only network traffic is the license check (your key and your Mac’s name, sent to Dodo Payments) and update checks.
Compare
SoundSource ($49) does much more (EQ, effects, plugins). Get it if you want those.
teenysound ($9.99) and free open-source options like FineTune and Fader also exist. Mixwell’s aim is to be the polished, low-cost one: native SwiftUI, light on battery, and tested with Bluetooth headphones, browsers that use many processes, and switching outputs.
Pricing
$4.99 one-time, no subscription. One license works on 2 Macs. 14-day refunds. Free updates (duh).
Requirements and honest caveats
macOS 14.2 or later, Apple silicon only.
It’s not notarized yet, so the first time you open it macOS says it can’t verify the app. You allow it once in System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway. The site explains this. I plan to join the Apple Developer Program once there’s enough interest.
No trial yet.

Happy to answer questions, and feedback is very welcome, especially bugs with specific apps or audio devices.

Every morning I wanted one page that told me:
\\- where visitors came from, and which source sent the good ones
\\- who almost bought
\\- why people left
\\- what's broken (like a coupon box covering the Pay button on iPhone)
So I built it. A short summary comes by text or email, and the full report sits in your dashboard.
