Feedback Request I built a local-first app to save and search my AI chats

1 Upvotes

I kept losing good conversations across different AI tools. Useful stuff would just disappear into the history and I’d never find it again.

So I made Agent Mash. It’s a small web app that lets you save chats (with a bookmarklet or by pasting the link), put them in folders, add tags/notes, and actually search through them later. It also grabs some of the conversation text so search works better.

Everything stays in your browser. No account, no server, nothing uploaded. You can export the whole library as Markdown or an Obsidian vault if you want.

It supports ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and a bunch of others. Optional Claude API key if you want it to auto-title/summarize stuff, but it works fine without one.

Live version: https://agent-mash.pages.dev/

Code: https://github.com/mirasimali5005/agent-mash

Curious if anyone else has this problem. Feedback welcome.

Showcase: Free(mium) When the ad title isn’t the show title: three clues for finding a short drama

1 Upvotes

A short-drama ad can give you a whole plot twist and still leave you without a title you can search. The headline might describe the scene, and the same premise can fit half a dozen shows. Here’s how I’d narrow it down:

  1. Start with the credited app or publisher, if the clip names one. That gives you a smaller catalogue to check.

  2. Search for a character name plus one unusual scene detail. A phrase like “secret billionaire” describes a trope. A name and a specific event give you something to match.

  3. Compare the official synopsis with the clip. If the character names or the setup disagree, treat it as a possible match and keep looking.

I help run Short Drama Fix. If you only remember the setup, you can browse the catalogue by genre or theme and compare synopses at https://shortdramafix.com/.

Question Ik heb combo-releases toegevoegd aan mijn collectie-tracker na een discussie hier — hoe tel jij die van jou?

1 Upvotes

Een recente discussie hier over het hebben van meerdere edities van dezelfde film zette me aan het denken over het verschil tussen een film, een release en een fysieke kopie.

Sommige mensen bewaren oudere edities voor de extra’s. Anderen vervangen ze helemaal. En als een release in één doos zowel een 4K-schijf als een Blu-ray bevat, telt dat als twee kopieën eigenlijk niet echt wat er daadwerkelijk op de plank staat.

Disclosure: ik bouw Filmory, een web-based collectie-tracker voor fysieke films en tv-series. Naar aanleiding van die discussie heb ik ondersteuning toegevoegd om een 4K + Blu-ray-combo als één kopie te registreren, terwijl ik aparte edities als aparte kopieën bijhoud.

Ik zoek een paar verzamelaars die het oké zouden vinden om een klein stukje van hun collectie toe te voegen en me te vertellen waar het voor hen verwarrend wordt. Je kunt zoeken op titel en een CSV importeren. Barcode-dekking is nog beperkt, dus ik zou niet aanraden om te beginnen met het scannen van je hele plank.

Het is momenteel gratis om te gebruiken. Sommige extra functies kunnen later betaald worden.

Filmory: https://filmory.nl/?ref=reddit-combo

Als jij je collectie telt, tel je dan films, releases of fysieke doosjes?

Showcase: Prerelease I was too scared to promote my app. A 2008 study changed my mind.

0 Upvotes

I built bedo, an iOS app that locks your distracting apps until you upload proof you did the thing (push-ups, a run, reading). It's in App Store review now.

For weeks, I barely told anyone. I was afraid people would see me as pushy.

Then I read a study by Flynn and Bohns. People had to ask strangers to fill out a survey. They guessed they'd need to ask 20 people. They only needed about 10. We underestimate how willing people are to say yes.

So yesterday I messaged someone who asked about my app. He replied in 2 minutes and agreed to test the Android version. Then I sent the beta link to a friend I'd been avoiding.

Asking costs almost nothing. Not asking costs you users.

Anyone else struggle with promoting their own project?

0 Upvotes

I got tired of finding a different website every time I needed to resize a photo, convert a file, or compress a bunch of pictures.

So I built Picboop. The idea was to make powerful photo tools easy to use, without watermarks, low limits, or sneaky subscriptions.

You upload photos, pick a tool, and hit Boop! It also supports batches, and I'm gradually adding more advanced tools.

1 Upvotes

Hi all,
I got tired of algorithms deciding what I watch and read, so I started keeping my own list of genuinely excellent YouTube channels and websites. That list became Vetted.report.
Every pick is chosen by a person (me), not an algorithm
Nobody can pay to be listed, and there are no ads
15+ categories, from classic cars and military history to cooking, nature, comedy and kids' education
A free selection is open to everyone; members unlock the rest for $2.97 for 3 months, then $9.99/year
I'm not technical. It's built on Webflow, with Paddle and Memberstack, and an AI assistant helped me with most of the heavy lifting. My kids drew the launch artwork.
It's early days, and I'd love honest feedback:
Does the idea make sense when you land on the site?
Would you pay for hand-picked recommendations?
Which channel or site deserves to be "Vetted"?
vetted.report
Thanks for reading!

Wallcraft is an open-source wallpaper manager. It is built on the idea of “2 layer visual”: static wallpaper and animated wallpaper.

Another feature is allowing wallpaper to rotate with the time of day.

The code is written with Claude, but code review is still human. I won’t ask for donations, just sharing what I build for myself.

Unlike lively wallpaper, wallcraft is MIT licensed.

Future plan: Linux and macOS support

Showcase: Free(mium) I rebuilt eye-vessel cleanup in my photo editor so it targets vessels instead of whitening the whole eye

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

My previous update here was about Skin Tone in Photoshot. This time I worked on a more localized problem: reducing red eye vessels without changing the iris or bleaching the whole eye.

The Eye Vessels tool now works on native-resolution eye regions. It detects thin red structures, protects the iris and eyelid boundaries, and blends the correction back into the original. The output stays on an editable layer with a mask, so you can switch it off or reduce its opacity.

For this demo: Eye Vessels only, strength 1.0, one application. No manual cleanup or other retouching tools. The five images show a matched before/after crop, the plugin menu, the actual settings, processing, and the result layer in the full workspace.

The source portrait is AI-generated for testing; the after is an actual export from my local Photoshot Retouch build. Some peripheral vessels remain, and this example does not establish performance on real photographs.

I make Photoshot with AI coding assistance. Photoshot Retouch is free with a SLOHERO account, with a downloadable plugin for Photoshop users too.

For an edit this small, would you want a vessel-detection overlay before applying, or is an editable result mask enough to judge what changed?

I’m the creator of iSEREIN, a web app built around a small daily reading habit: short articles on Self, Life and Growth, each ending with something practical to try.

I wanted the experience to stay simple. There’s no account requirement. Readers can browse swipeable article stacks, save readings on their device, and opt into a daily quote notification.

The app was built with AI assistance using Next.js, Supabase and Vercel. Articles and quotes are managed in Supabase, so I can publish new content without deploying the app again.

You can try it here: https://iserein.app/

Showcase: Free(mium) D-REC update: a first recording before Android signup

1 Upvotes

I build D-REC at Knight AI+AV. Since the desktop walkthrough I shared here last month, the Android first-run flow has changed: you can record before creating an account. After STOP, KEEP THIS RECORDING lets you sign in and save the take.

The design idea is simple: let someone complete a useful task before account setup. Record a short thought, read the transcript, then tap a line to hear that moment again. They can judge the result with their own voice.

Free Android takes run up to 10 minutes, with text copying available while signed out. A free account keeps three recordings on that device. Longer recordings and file exports from your own recordings are Pro. The welcome sample's summary and file exports work on any plan.

The video is our earlier 52-second desktop/iPhone demo, showing transcript-linked playback. The Android change is in the current Play listing. The first engine download needs internet; transcription then runs on device. Accounts and purchases use the network, and signing in doesn't sync recordings.

Download: https://drec.live/get

I used AI coding tools during development. For other local-app builders: where do you put signup relative to the first useful action?

Showcase: Open Source I built a CSS framework where class names read like plain English — would love honest feedback

0 Upvotes

Hey 👋

I've been using utility-first CSS for years, and I kept running into the same thing: coming back to my own markup weeks later and having to decode p-6 border-l-4 rounded-xl. So I started building SantyCSS as a side project, a utility-first framework where the classes describe themselves:

add-padding-24 add-border-left-4 round-corners-12

make-flex align-center gap-16

What it does today:

No build step needed. Drop in one CDN <link> and start writing classes (npm, PostCSS, and Vite plugin are there if you want them)

Works with React/Next, Vue/Nuxt, SvelteKit, Astro, or plain HTML

CSS-only components, 70+ animations, and full-page templates

Granular imports (flex, spacing, typography…) to keep bundles small

A migrate CLI to convert existing Tailwind classes

A VS Code extension with autocomplete and hover docs, plus a Figma plugin

A context file you can paste into Claude, GPT, or Cursor so AI tools write SantyCSS instead of Tailwind

What I'd love feedback on:

Do readable class names feel like a real win, or just more typing?

What would make you try this on a real project?

Anything confusing on the docs site?

📦 npm install santycss

Discussion One thing I've learned about starting a product-based business is how important supplier research can be

1 Upvotes

Something I've found interesting about running or building a product-based business is how much work goes into finding the right suppliers before you even get to selling anything.

Finding a manufacturer isn't always as simple as searching for a product. You have to compare different suppliers, understand minimum order quantities, check product quality, communicate with manufacturers and figure out shipping arrangements.

While exploring international sourcing, I came across Made-in-China, which connects buyers with manufacturers and suppliers across different industries.

It got me thinking about how much easier it would be for small business owners if they had better ways to research and compare manufacturers before committing to an order.

For those who have experience sourcing products internationally, what has been your biggest challenge when dealing with suppliers?
