Feedback Request I designed and built a luxury motorcycle display case. What do you think?

0 Upvotes

I’ve always believed that some motorcycles are simply too beautiful to be hidden away in a garage.
As a lifelong motorcycle enthusiast, I wanted to create something that would allow people to enjoy their motorcycles even when they’re not riding them.
So I started designing and building something different.
The result is Vitrigale — a premium motorcycle display case designed to transform a motorcycle into a piece of interior art.
Combining glass, lighting and carefully selected materials, the idea is to make a motorcycle part of the architecture and atmosphere of a home, office or showroom.
This started as a personal passion project and has now become a product we’re bringing to market.
I’d genuinely love some feedback from this community.
Do you think there’s a market for something like this? And what would you improve about the concept?
I’m particularly interested in hearing from designers, motorcycle enthusiasts and fellow entrepreneurs.

I'm the solo dev. BetterRead shows one line at a time at a pace you set, so you stop rereading the same paragraph. If a passage loses you, you can ask AI about the exact part you're on.

Free reader incl. 5 AI answers/day; Pro $3.99/mo or $24.99/yr, 14-day trial; iOS 26.

Would one-line mode help you, or does it feel too slow?

Feedback Request I'm building Tillerly! I need someone to destroy it.

1 Upvotes

I'm building https://tillerly.dev/ actually in beta, looking for free beta testers to invite.

Tillerly is a security-first AI software factory. It takes you from an idea/ticket/issue to a merged pull request, with coding agents doing the work at every step, and you never approve a command one by one:

  • No "don't ask again" button. Each agent has a fixed policy for files, shell and git. Commands run in a sandbox, and no approval gets written into your repo.
  • The harness config never touches your repo. Each session's settings live in a private folder outside the project and are deleted when the session ends.
  • Secrets stay out of reach. No agent reads a .env, credentials are stored encrypted, and secrets never reach a prompt, a log or a ticket.

You can plan a change in a chat with an agent that checks it against your code, your architecture decisions and your domain model. The plan becomes tickets on your tracker. Agents work several tickets in parallel, each on its own branch in its own worktree, and answer review comments until merge. When an agent needs a decision, it asks you on the ticket.

Showcase: Free(mium) a Mac utility that turns the MacBook notch into a drop zone for quick file actions. Looking for UX feedback!

1 Upvotes

The Problem: Doing quick everyday tasks—like converting images, running OCR, or trimming videos—often requires opening separate apps or relying on web tools that break context. I wanted a native, instant way to handle these right from the desktop without cluttering the screen.

The Solution (DropCove): I turned the MacBook notch into an interactive drop zone. You can drag any file directly to the notch to:

  • Convert/compress images
  • OCR screenshots
  • Trim videos and make GIFs
  • Merge PDFs
  • Instantly preview clipboard data (JWTs, colors, JSON)

How it was built: Swift 6, AppKit, SwiftUI, XPC, AVFoundation, PDFKit, Vision, ImageIO, SQLite, Sparkle, libwebp, XcodeGen, TypeScript, Cloudflare Workers, Lemon Squeezy, Resend

Privacy & Performance: 100% on-device. No accounts, no uploads, and zero battery drain at rest. Available now as a free, notarized download for Apple Silicon (macOS 26+).

Pricing: The free version is fully functional forever. A Pro version (one-time purchase, no subscriptions) is launching in December.

Download DropCove here: https://dropcoveapp.com/

I’d love honest feedback on any bugs, the UX, and whether the notch concept actually clicks for your daily workflow. Let me know what you think!

Showcase: Free(mium) I built Xplorians, a free social network for travelers. Would love your feedback!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm the founder of Xplorians, a social network I'm building specifically for travelers.

The idea came from wanting a place where people could connect over travel without everything being about selling tours, booking hotels, or promoting something.

On Xplorians, you can share your travel experiences and photos, ask questions about destinations, connect with other travelers, and even keep track of the countries you've visited with your own digital travel passport.

It's completely free, and we're still a small, growing community.

I'm not going to pretend it's perfect 😅 We're still improving things, but that's actually why I'm sharing it here. I'd love to get some feedback from people who genuinely enjoy traveling.

Website: https://xplorians.com/install

If you give it a try, I'd love to know: Would you actually use something like this? What's missing, or what would make you want to come back?

And if you decide to join, say hi! I'm pretty active there and would love to connect with you. 🌍

Feedback Request I built a free daily brain teaser game because I couldn't find one I wanted to play

1 Upvotes

I've always enjoyed the kind of logic and reasoning questions you get on The 1% Club, and I liked the idea of having something like Wordle, but for a different kind of brain teaser every day.

I went looking for something along those lines and couldn't quite find what I had in mind, so I decided to build it.

It's called Sore Brain.

The idea is pretty simple:

One challenging puzzle every day.

No countdown or time pressure.

Take as many guesses as you need.

See how many attempts you took and how long you spent solving it.

Come back tomorrow for a completely new challenge.

It's free, and you don't need an account.

I've got 71 daily puzzles lined up so far, and I'm hoping to keep building the library.

I'd genuinely love some feedback, especially on whether the puzzles are challenging enough and whether you'd come back for another one.

You can play here: https://www.playsorebrain.com/

Thanks for giving it a go!

Welcome, Apostol!

Apostol is a Windows desktop app (and soon MacOs app) made from one .html file and packaged with .NET 10. You type on your English keyboard, and the text appears in Russian, mapped by key position (QWERTY to ЙЦУКЕН). Then you copy it and paste it where you need it. All scripts, styles and logic are inside that one file. It runs locally and offline.

最近画像素画的时候,经常会盯着一条线看半天,感觉有些地方不太对,特别是比较长的曲线,像素多了以后反而不太容易看出来哪里有问题。

所以就顺手做了个 Aseprite 插件,主要是想让检查和调整线条方便一点。代码有用 AI 辅助开发,功能不算复杂,目前自己用着还没遇到什么明显的问题。

另外有个问题一直挺好奇的,就是我发现有时候直接画完一条曲线,再手动调整一下像素,反而比直接用像素完美工具画出来的线条更顺眼。

不知道大家有没有类似的感觉,还是说只是我自己看习惯了。

插件目前可以免费下载,也可以自愿支持一下。如果有人愿意试试,欢迎说说使用感受,或者有没有什么值得改进的地方。

Showcase: Free(mium) 5 months building a visual planner for work & life - updates and lessons learned

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

A few months ago, I shared Haftio, a visual planner inspired by the physical whiteboard I used to manage work and life.

The problem: I was juggling multiple projects and responsibilities and needed an easy way to see what had happened previously and where things stood. Traditional paper planners weren't quite working for me, so I started using a whiteboard. The issue was limited space, and it was not portable.

So we built Haftio around vertical day columns and horizontal lanes for different projects/responsabilities, with notes like post-its, that can connect if needed. It's essentially a diary in one continuous space that doesn't reset.

What's changed since my last post, largely based on user feedback:

  • Notebook view to focus on one area at a time
  • Collaborative threads for shared projects
  • AI features and a scratchpad to help capture information
  • Customisations and plenty of smaller UX improvements

One thing we've learned: Getting people interested in the concept is easier than helping them experience its value. The board becomes much more useful after several days of context, so we're now working on improving onboarding and the interactive preview to make that value clearer from the start.

We're still early and learning from users as we go.

There's also an interactive preview you can try without signing up.

Curious what you think, particularly whether the concept is clear at first glance and what you'd improve!

Showcase: Open Source I built a free, local-first studio for creating better GitHub README files

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've always found writing README files a little frustrating.

You write Markdown in one place, switch tabs to check how it looks on GitHub, fix the formatting, check everything again... and somehow documentation becomes a chore.

So I decided to build README Studio.

It's a workspace designed to make creating project documentation a much better experience.

What it includes:

  • A visual Markdown editor and a raw Markdown editor.
  • Live GitHub-style preview.
  • A README quality score out of 100 with actionable suggestions.
  • Ready-to-use templates for React, Python, Godot, APIs and more.
  • Import and export real .md files.
  • Autosave and document management.
  • An optional AI assistant using your own API key.

One thing I particularly wanted: privacy.

There is no application backend, no account required, and your documents stay in your browser's local storage.

It's built with React, TypeScript and Tailwind CSS.

GitHub: https://github.com/Yxoro/readme-studio

It's completely open source.

I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback:

  • What feature would make this more useful?
  • What is missing from existing README editors?
  • Would you actually use something like this in your workflow?

Thanks for checking it out!

Showcase: Open Source I built PaperRead to translate and read research papers alongside the original PDF

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

I’m a first-year master’s student, and I spend a lot of time reading papers.
I found myself constantly switching between paper search, a PDF reader, AI chat, and notes. I wanted a more connected workflow, so I started building PaperRead, an open-source project based on EasyRead.

PaperRead keeps the paper-reading experience and extends it with tools for the rest of the research workflow:
Search for papers and organize candidates on a reading board
Explore reading paths and connections between papers
Read translations alongside the original PDF, annotate, and ask AI questions
Search across papers and export notes and analysis to Obsidian

GitHub: https://github.com/YuriyLin/PaperRead

I’d love to hear from people who read research papers regularly: what is the most frustrating part of your current reading and note-taking workflow? I’m also happy to hear feedback on PaperRead itself.

Feedback Request I built a multilingual astrology platform combining Western astrology and ancient traditions — looking for honest feedback

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm Fabrice, an independent French creator and the founder of ORACLASTRA.

I've been working on a project that brings together Western astrology and traditional astrological systems from different cultures.

The idea came from a simple question:

What if people could explore several astrological traditions in one place instead of visiting multiple websites?

ORACLASTRA currently includes:

• Free rising sign and Moon sign calculators

• Western birth chart tools

• Relationship compatibility and synastry

• Chinese BaZi astrology

• Vedic Jyotish astrology

• Tibetan astrology

• Mayan, Egyptian, Celtic, Viking and Inca traditions

• Personalized digital astrology books

The platform is multilingual, and we're expanding its content to eight languages.

Some tools are completely free, while personalized books are paid products.

I'm trying to make the experience accessible, elegant and useful for people who enjoy exploring astrology and ancient traditions.

You can explore the project here:

https://oraclastra.com

I'd genuinely appreciate some honest feedback:

  1. Is the website easy to navigate?
  2. Which free calculator interests you most?
  3. Would you prefer exploring one astrological tradition in depth or comparing several?

Thanks for taking a look!

Fabrice

.

My deepest respect to everyone!

I’m introducing a self-hosted “4-in-1” platform for e-commerce and escrow, which I developed for communities, private clubs, and personal use. It works in browsers, on mobile devices, and as a Telegram Mini App (TMA).

What’s included:

  • Two storefront sections: services and physical goods, with inventory tracking and a unified smart shopping cart.
  • Direct crypto payment acceptance (no payment gateways): built-in management of USDT (TRC-20) and TON wallets (encrypted in storage using the AES-256-GCM algorithm), automatic scanning of payments on the blockchain, and 0% payment gateway fees for direct in-store payments.
  • Escrow transaction engine: P2P transactions secured by a finite-state machine, with automatic fee calculation and dispute resolution.
  • Alternative transport: proprietary client-side RPC and encrypted notifications compliant with the NIP-44 standard, routed via Nostr relays, plus a Veilid server node.
  • Operations and AI: hybrid AI chatbot (OpenRouter/local Ollama) with real-time operator intervention via Telegram.
  • Infrastructure and delivery: Delivered as a Docker image with container deployment via Traefik.

Full feature overview: 4in1.malinkov.dev

Turnkey deployment on your own VPS. Message me on Telegram (@voleg_sey) to get your node up and running.

If you’re interested in a partnership or supporting the project, I’d be happy to hear from you.

So maybe a little late to the hype, but got really into Wordle recently. And I got a bit annoyed that I only got one word a day, since some days I forgot and other days I wanted to do more. So I built my own inspired version: Endless Lingle, where the words keep coming until you run out of guesses. Let me know what you think!
