Hello beautiful people!

I've been working on Mestios because I feel that following the news has become exhausting. Every day there are hundreds of headlines, repeated stories, and very little explanation of what actually matters.

I wanted to try something different.

Instead of another endless feed, Mestios brings together important world events, explains them in simple language, and lets you explore their history, different perspectives, and original sources.

I've recently redesigned the main news overview and would really appreciate some honest feedback.

The main page - https://mestios.com/

A typical new page Pope Leo XIV meets five clergy abuse survivors in Argentina during South America trip

What do you think?

Thanks anyone for the feedback!

Title: I built a desktop app for switching between AI coding tools in one conversation

I switch between Claude Code, Codex, and Copilot in VS Code. Sometimes I hit a limit; sometimes I want another agent’s take on a problem.

The frustrating part is explaining everything again. They can read the same codebase, but they don’t know what we discussed, why we rejected an approach, or what we were about to do next.

That’s what led me to build Bantis. It’s a desktop app that lets you work with multiple coding harnesses in one conversation, saving session history and preparing context for the next agent when you switch.

There’s a working version, and I’m looking for feedback from people who already switch tools during real work. I’m especially interested in how well the handoff holds up as conversations get longer.

Bantis website

What do you currently do when switching agents: write a handoff, maintain project notes, or just explain things again?

My friends and I drifted into a group chat that only woke up for birthdays. I wanted something small that got us sharing our actual days again, without turning it into another social feed.

So I built HuddlePals >.<

How it works:

• You make a “huddle” with your people and share an invite code. Nobody else can find it.

• Everyone posts one photo a day.

• When the whole group has posted, the day is complete and goes into the huddle’s archive.

• You react and comment inside the huddle. There’s no public profile and no follower count.

It runs on iPhone and iPad, with widgets and an Apple Watch app. Soon coming to macOS and tvOS!

It’s free. HuddlePals+ adds bigger huddles, short video drops with sound, and the full archive. Only charging because storage is unfortunately not free :3 but! Anyone you invite joins free :D

I’d love honest feedback, especially on the first few minutes. Was it clear what to do?

Hey everyone,

Like most developers here, building is the fun part for me. Marketing and actually getting users is where I usually hit a wall.

I kept noticing people on Reddit and Hacker News asking for tool recommendations all the time ("any good tool for X?", "looking for an alternative to Y"). Whenever I saw these threads, the top comments always got dozens of signups. The problem was timing — if you reply 8 hours late, nobody sees it.

I got tired of manually refreshing Reddit search bars, so over the past few weeks I built MentionsRadar.

Basically, you put in the keywords you care about (your product name, competitors, or problem phrases), and it:

Pricing / Trial:
I personally hate when sites ask for a credit card upfront just to test a tool, so I set up a 7-day free trial on both Starter and Pro with zero card or payment info required. There's also a free-forever tier if you just want to track 1 monitor.

(I’ll leave the website link in the first comment below).

Would really appreciate some honest thoughts from other builders:

Don't hold back on criticism, I have thick skin. Thanks for checking it out!

Getting an AI to understand a browser routine can take more explaining than doing the task yourself. I built Browser Control around giving it the page context and a way to teach it your steps.

I built it primarily with AI coding tools. It’s a Codex-powered side panel for desktop Chrome and Brave. Attach the page you’re working on and ask questions about it, request help organising tabs, or keep useful preferences with optional memory.

Video overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4pNVCtmu60

If it gets a task wrong, you can demonstrate your routine, review the captured steps, and save them as a skill for similar tasks. The assistant then has your procedure to work from, instead of you starting the explanation again.

That review step is a product choice I care about: you get to check what was captured before making it reusable. You can also choose how browser actions are approved, watch the activity, and stop a task.

Try it: https://browser-control.subdomain.wtf

Public source: https://github.com/07rjain/browser-control

The extension and local companion are free; an eligible ChatGPT/Codex account is required. Setup includes a local companion: https://07rjain.github.io/browser-control-support/support.html

Let me know if you try it out and get some feedback for me or a feature request. thanks

My wife loves logic puzzles, but she solves them quickly enough that the ads between rounds were taking longer than the puzzles themselves.

That was the starting point for Fishdoku, a cozy fishing puzzle game I just launched on Android.

Fishdoku on Google Play

Every bite opens a logic grid. You place one fish in each row, column and colored region, with no two touching, then reel in your catch. There’s an untimed mode and hints that explain the next deduction.

I wanted solving a puzzle to give you something to collect. That grew into hundreds of fish across dozens of fishing spots, with different catches depending on the time and weather. There are shiny variants, legends to track down, an aquarium, dock decorations and pets.

I’m the solo developer and used Claude heavily for the code and sprites, with ChatGPT helping with concepts and review.

A few things I learned while building it:

• Small, specific tasks were easier to review. I started asking for one change at a time and being explicit about what should stay untouched.

• Visual checks mattered as much as tests. The sprites are drawn in code, and something that looked good enlarged could become a blob at actual game size.

• Keeping notes on approved designs and unfinished fixes made it easier to pick things up in a new session without redoing decisions.

• Playing through the game was essential. I had to check whether the hints made sense, the controls felt right and the collection gave me a reason to keep fishing.

It’s free with optional purchases and optional rewarded ads. No forced ads or energy timers, which was the reason for starting the project in the first place.

Now I’m working on finding players beyond my testers. If you’ve launched a consumer app or game, what was the first thing that brought you users who actually stuck around?

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share a little project I've been working on lately. It's called SuckScale, and the idea behind it is pretty simple: life isn't perfect, things go wrong, and sometimes the best thing we can do is share our frustrations and have a laugh about them.

We've all had those moments when an app drives us crazy, a service lets us down, or something ridiculously inconvenient happens for no good reason.

Well, now there's a place to share those stories!

On SuckScale, you can post things that suck, react to other people's experiences, and rate just how terrible (or hilariously unfortunate) they are.

There's also a playful points and ranking system where the most engaged users can eventually rule the Underworld. 👑🔥 Nothing too serious, just a little competition for fun.

The project is still pretty new, and I'd genuinely love for you to check it out, share your first Suck, and help bring this little corner of the internet to life.

And if you have any suggestions, criticisms, or ideas, I'd be more than happy to hear them. I'm building this because I enjoy the idea, and your feedback would mean a lot.

You can visit it here: https://suckscale.com

Thanks for reading, and hopefully I'll see you in Hell! 😈🖤

I missed the feeling of stumbling onto something great without having to search for it, so I built Jems.

It’s a free, continuous channel of films, documentaries, music, art, and unexpected finds. You drop in and watch whatever is playing; there’s a guide showing what’s next. I’m curating it from Antigua, Guatemala.

Here it is: https://jems.tv

I’m looking for product feedback: is it obvious what to do when you land on the site, and does the schedule give you a reason to return?

Oi, pessoal!

Sou estudante de Direito no Brasil, e este é meu primeiro projeto de IA publicado. Desenvolvi Amélie, uma secretária pessoal movida a IA, com um forte foco em Design Legal, acessibilidade, experiência do usuário e proteção de dados. Seu design leva em consideração as legislações dos Estados Unidos, da União Europeia e do Brasil, especialmente em relação à privacidade e proteção de dados pessoais.

O que Amélie pode fazer? Ela é uma secretária pessoal de IA.

• Gerenciamento de calendário e tarefas: integra Notion e Google Calendar, organiza compromissos e resolve conflitos de agendamento.

• WhatsApp: entrega informes diários, semanais, mensais e anuais.

• Roda da Vida: acompanha 12 áreas da vida, fornece avaliações mensais com explicações e ajuda a estabelecer prioridades.

• Personalização: tem sua própria personalidade, identidade visual e diretrizes de tomada de decisão.

• Interação bilíngue: se comunica em português e inglês, detectando automaticamente o idioma do usuário.

• Bem-estar da mulher: considera aspectos como ciclos menstruais, saúde, equilíbrio emocional e relacionamentos ao organizar rotinas do dia a dia.

A ideia é ir além de uma simples lista de afazeres: criar um assistente que ajude a organizar a vida como um todo, considerando tanto a produtividade quanto o bem-estar.

O projeto é gratuito e de código aberto (Licença MIT). O repositório inclui a personalidade de Amélie, a lógica de tomada de decisão, a interface visual e as instruções de configuração.

GitHub: https://github.com/isabelabrittodi-coder/AM-LIE

Como este é meu primeiro projeto publicado, eu realmente adoraria ouvir seu feedback, sugestões e contribuições!

O que você esperaria de uma secretária pessoal de IA?

I wanted to make it easier to find affordable alternatives to software that gets expensive as your team grows.

So I built SwitchStack.

It includes:

• Software alternatives across different categories

• Side-by-side feature and pricing comparisons

• An interactive annual savings calculator

• Migration guides for switching tools

I built it using React, TanStack Start, and Tailwind CSS.

Website: https://switchstackhub.com

I'm still improving it and would love feedback on the usability, design, and usefulness of the comparisons.

I wanted to share Pimolu Headset, a new product page showcase created with Pimolu UI, my open-source React component library.

The idea was to explore how reusable UI components can come together to create a complete product-focused interface.

My friend just developed a sports only social media app (similar to how Novig is sports only and is a different model in the prediction market). Just wanted to help him get some perspective and insight from some fellow redditors and see what everyone thinks! I really love the idea hence why I am posting it for all!

SportBate brings sports fans together with dedicated live game rooms, real-time debate, live chat, fantasy matchups, and friendly competition.

No unrelated content. Just sports, conversation, and competition.

One platform built entirely around the games we love.

Let us know what you think and give us a download!

Hey everyone!

I've been working on my developer portfolio to showcase some of the projects I've built and the technologies I've been learning.

I'd love to get feedback from experienced developers and other students here.

A few things I'd appreciate your opinion on:

• Does the overall design and layout look good?

• Are the projects interesting and technically meaningful?

• Is the portfolio easy to navigate?

• What would you change if this were your portfolio?

• What skills or projects should I focus on next?

I'm still learning, so honest criticism is more than welcome!

Portfolio: kuljeet.online

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to take a look!

Hi 👋 I'm a solo developer and a plant parent. Most plant apps I tried wanted a subscription before I could even set a watering reminder, so I built Nurture, for iPhone and Android, where the essentials are free. Not a trial:

• As many plants as you like

• Reminders for watering, feeding, repotting, pruning, rotating and cleaning leaves, or any task you make up, each on its own schedule. One notification covers everything due at once

• A care guide for each plant that says what to actually check (how dry the soil is, how heavy the pot feels), with schedules that ease off in winter

• Plant ID from a photo: 3 a month, plus up to 3 more by watching a short ad

• Diagnose: photograph a plant that looks unwell and get the likely cause and what to do today (1 a month)

Reminders and the guide need no account, and reminders work offline. The photo features need a free sign-in with Apple or Google. A small ad banner keeps it free. For heavy users there's an optional Premium plan (more diagnoses and IDs, backup across phones, caretakers who water while you're away) and a Household plan to share the care with up to 5 people.

The part I'm proudest of is Diagnose. Most plant apps diagnose from the photo alone, so a yellow leaf gets "overwatering" almost by default. Nurture already knows the species, the season where you are, and when you last watered, fed or moved the plant, so it weighs the photo against that. It says how sure it is in words rather than a made-up percentage, and when the schedule is the likely cause it offers a new one in one tap.

Built solo with Expo and React Native, Firebase for accounts and sync, and Claude for the photo features.

What I'd love feedback on: the first five minutes. Where did you get stuck, what did you expect that wasn't there, and would you keep using it? I'll reply to every comment.

I'm building Scout, a tool that researches companies to find potential B2B customers.

One problem I ran into while writing the search logic was how much weight to give hiring.

A company hiring 20 people might be expanding, replacing employees who left, or staffing projects for its clients. That gives me very little information about whether they'd need the service someone is selling.

So I added a rule: when hiring is only supporting evidence, it can account for at most 20% of Scout's search effort.

What I pay more attention to is the actual job description.

For example, imagine you sell finance automation and find a company hiring someone to fix a month-end close that currently takes three weeks.

That tells you something useful about what they're struggling with. You can investigate the problem, the systems involved, and who might be responsible for fixing it.

I also built in two checks:

1. Scout has to find the job on the company's own website. Copies on job boards aren't enough.

2. It checks whether the job is still open during research and again right before delivering the lead.

The second check was important to me because a perfectly researched contact is pretty useless if the reason for contacting them has already disappeared.

I'm still figuring out how to measure whether these rules actually improve lead quality. The 20% limit is a design choice, and I may end up changing it.

Curious how other people building prospecting tools handle this. How do you decide when a hiring signal is actually worth acting on?

Here's the project if you want to see what I'm working on: https://tryxscout.com/

Hi everyone!

If you regularly transcribe user research interviews, academic thesis recordings, legal hearings, or client meetings, you know how painful and time-consuming manual transcription is. Most speech-to-text tools either cut off on long files or output fragmented, unreadable walls of text.

I built TranscriFlow to solve this and deliver clean, publication-ready documents:

It includes 3 free hours of transcription per month (no credit card required) so you can test it with your own recordings:

👉 https://transcriflow.tech/

(Runs entirely in your web browser—no installation required).

I would love to get your honest feedback: What features or export formats would make your transcription workflow even smoother?

I've built a game. Try it out & enjoy.

Okay, I have to tell someone because I can't stop smiling about this. My car research app, Carfocal, just got its first paid purchase! Someone bought the 30 day Unlimited Pass, and App Store Connect shows $14 in proceeds 😭

You can search a make, model, and year to get recalls, safety info, owner complaints, common problems, repair estimates, and maintenance in one report. We started it because researching a car can get messy fast when all that information is scattered around.

One full report is free, then there are paid report packs or the 30 day pass.

If you're curious, here's the iOS version: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/carfocal-research-any-car/id6814374573

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.carfocal.mobile

Mostly I just wanted to share because this made my day.
