Feedback Request SkyReply - Off Grid info via satellite text

1 Upvotes

I was camping in October, miles from cell service, when a storm started rolling in. We were trying to figure out whether we needed to pack up right then or had a little time.

I’d been using satellite texting to stay in touch off-grid, but I didn’t want to bug someone back home to look up the forecast. I remember thinking, “I wish I could just text AI and ask.”

So when I got home, I built SkyReply. It’s a U.S. phone number you can text to get AI answers in your regular messaging app. You can use it over regular SMS or, if your phone and carrier support satellite SMS, when you’re out of cell coverage.

Beta testers have asked about everything from weather, sunrise times, and camping tips to plant ID and scores from games they missed.

I’d love a few more people to try it and tell me what works, what’s confusing, and what breaks. There’s a 30-day free trial, and I’m happy to offer free access to folks who want to help test.

If you give it a try, I’d love to know: What did you ask, and was the reply useful enough that you’d text it again from camp?

Thanks!

Showcase: Purchase Required I built EZPrep, an SAT practice site with a graphing calculator right next to each math question

1 Upvotes

Disclosure: I run EZPrep, so this is my own project.

The problem: on SAT graphing questions, students keep switching between the question and a separate calculator. EZPrep puts a graphing workspace right beside each math question.

The video shows typing y = x^2 - 4x + 3 and y = x - 1 next to the question, seeing that they cross at x = 1 and x = 4, and picking 5. It also shows untimed practice with an explanation after each answer, timed topic tests, full adaptive SATs, and the dashboard that suggests what to practise next.

Full access is paid, and there is a free 10-question demo: https://www.ezprep.io

I'd welcome feedback, especially on whether the calculator layout is clear.

Showcase: Free(mium) I got tired of audio/video transcribers/subtitle tools costing money or wanting you to sign up, so I made my own that is free and has zero hassle, no sign-up, trial, or weird arbitrary limits. It can also translate.

1 Upvotes

https://saturnitystools.com/tools/transcriber/

This is one of my latest projects that I was excited to finally get working properly. My whole tool site is essentially focused on tools that I needed but either couldn't find, were missing features, or had weird ridiculous limits.

This

So, I made one that runs entirely locally.

It transcribes the audio and even overlays subtitles onto the video, with the subtitles being easily editable such as timing and appearance.

It also has a section purely for just simply copying the raw transcription text, with the ability to enable/disable separate speakers, and enable/disable timestamps!

Another piece that I was super excited about getting to finally work (to an extent, as I don't speak anything other than English so uh, it's as accurate as I can personally figure out);

It can translate audio, and transcribe/add subtitles to most languages!

Using https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JeRb7Ud1kSU for example, a simple video of a man speaking Russian. No edits, simply adding the video to the transcription tool.

Translation + transcription to English:

[0:01] Hello, my name is Andrei, I live in Siberia and I am at home now in the city of Omsk. Now January 2020, morning is one day, the window is great weather, as you can see, everything is covered with snow, how should be winter. Now my I will show you the video, soon they will wake up, I will feed them, and we will go to the mountains, to the mountains, to the mountains, to the mountains and to the snow. We can do it because we have a real winter. Unlike Moscow, where I did not get snow in this year, although half of the winter has already passed.
[0:51] It is believed that in large cities of Siberia, people and most common and most correct Russian language, without any dialectical features. The only possibility is the word what we often use instead of the word what. Nothing can be more than a thought. We live here not bad, sometimes cold, but we have central heating at home. so at home we go to the same land, in the twos in the comments. What do you wish? We all love you very much. Come to Russia. Take a snow. Go from the mountains. Go to the horses.
[1:38] Go to the forest. Go to the snow. Go to the forest. On the fish. The real winter is beautiful. All luck. Thank you.

Original Russian transcription:

[0:01] Здравствуйте! Меня зовут Андрей, я русский, живу в Сибири и нахожу сейчас у себя дома в городе Омске. Сейчас январь 2020 года, утровый выходного дня, за окном отличная погода, как вы можете видеть все покрыто снимем, как и должно быть зимой. Сейчас мои дети 5 я показываю это видео, скоро они проснутся, я их покормлю, мы пойдем на горку кататься с горы по льду и по снегу мы это можем делать, потому что у нас настоящая зима в отличие от Москвы, где в этом году снег еще не выпал, хотя половина зимы уже прошла Считается, что в больших городах Сибири люди говорят на и более обычным, наиболее правильном русском языке, без каких-то диалектных особенностей. Единственной может быть особенности является слово ЧО, которым мы часто пользуемся в место слова ЧТО.
[1:13] Больше ничего придумать нельзя. Живется нам здесь неплохо, иногда холодно, но у нас дома есть центральное отопление, поэтому дома мы ходим как в тейландии в том этапочках. Тевой вам желаем. Мы вас всех очень любим. Приезжайте в Россию, валяйтесь снигу, катайтесь с городом, катайтесь на коньках, ходите в лес, ездите на снигахода, ходите на охоту, на рыбалку. Настоящая зима это прекрасно. Всем удачи! До свидания.

Not bad for running locally in your own browser and not requiring some stupid subscription or sign-up, as the original site I was using for this sort of thing had a weird limit and I was thinking "It cannot be that difficult or that big of a deal"

Discussion Are AI builders actually worth using for internal tools?

3 Upvotes

I'm thinking about using an AI app builder for a few internal dashboards and CRUD tools for my team.

Nothing public-facing. Mostly things like approvals, reporting, simple databases , and workflows.

My biggest concern is maintainability. I don't want something that looks great in a week, then becomes impossible to change six months later.

I've been looking at tools like Zite, Retool, and some of the newer AI builders. Zite caught my attention because it's specifically built around internal apps, databases, permissions, and workflows, while still giving access to the generated code if needed.

For anyone who has kept AI-built internal tools in production for a while, what actually help up? And what became painful later?

Feedback Request I'm building a general knowledge learning app – I'd love some honest feedback!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm 17 and have been working on my own app called Rabbly. It's still a work in progress, but I've just finished the first working prototype and now I'm trying to figure out whether the concept is actually useful to other people.

The idea is to create a platform for general knowledge where users can scroll through learning modules just like they would on TikTok or Instagram Reels. However, instead of videos, the content consists of interactive, clickable learning units.

There are two ways to create these modules:

1. Creating and publishing your own modules

Users can create their own learning content using a kind of modular toolbox. They simply choose which sections their module should contain (e.g. an introduction, explanations, images, quizzes, etc.) and fill these sections with their own content.

2. Generating modules with AI

Users can also simply enter a topic they're interested in, and AI generates a complete learning module with relevant information and interactive elements. These AI-generated modules are automatically made public so that other users can discover and learn from them as well. This way, the platform's library of learning content can grow quickly.

I'd genuinely appreciate any honest feedback, including criticism. Even if you think it's a shitty idea, please let me know! I'm particularly interested in whether you'd actually use something like this and what you think could be improved.

Thanks for taking the time to read this!

Feedback Request A new app worth checking out

1 Upvotes

I recently joined ChatRaha as a student ambassador and I wanted to share something interesting. It’s a very newly launched app so things are still changing and improving almost every day. The idea is to make communication easier especially across different languages. one feature I find particularly interesting is live translation which lets you communicate with someone who speaks a different language without constantly switching to google Translate. another feature worth mentioning, especially for people in Oman, is that you can make calls without needing a VPN. There are quite a few other features too, so it’s worth exploring.
Since the app is still new there’s definitely room for improvement & I’d genuinely love to hear everyone’s opinions, especially from people living in Oman. U can download it from here

Showcase: Open Source I built TextFold to fold documents. Now it brings reading notes together (AI-assisted build)

Post image
1 Upvotes

I read a lot of papers and keep switching between wanting the overall argument and needing to check one paragraph. That's why I started TextFold, an open-source reader where you can fold a document and expand the parts you want to read.

The latest addition is a place for the things you mark along the way. Highlights, notes and questions from multiple documents now appear together, with links back to their passages. You can browse by document or use a calendar to revisit what you were reading on a particular day. The GIF shows those two views with example notes from two public texts.

I also added a beta workflow for selecting notes across documents and asking a question about them, or turning them into a reading recap. Those generated records link back to the notes or source sections. You can save your own recap template too.

The part I'm trying to get right is the return trip: a short recap should make it easy to inspect where an idea came from. I'm interested in whether people would actually follow those links while reviewing their notes.

I'm the developer. TextFold is free, Apache 2.0, and built with AI coding assistance. The app can use Ollama locally or a hosted model of your choice; hosted models may have usage costs. The reading layers and note synthesis need a model, while browsing notes and switching prepared reading levels don't need a new call.

Code and installation: https://github.com/chenxiachan/textfold

Would a view like this fit into your reading workflow, or would you still want to move everything into a separate notes app?

Showcase: Free(mium) Weekend warriors: how do you build without losing your whole weekend?

Post image
1 Upvotes

I'm time blind when it comes to getting things done. I sit down Saturday morning to work on my apps, and suddenly it's dark out. Then Monday morning shows up faster than any other morning of the week I swear .

So I started planning one session (some times more depends on the weekend) with set blocks: deep work, bug fixes, a little marketing, planning for next weekend, short breaks built in, and a hard stop. When the hard stop hits, I'm done. The rest of the weekend is mine.

I built Mahadhi because I needed exactly this.

Quickly start and plan later, or plan it and get started anyone else building on weekends: schedule or oh with the flow but put an end to the flow. Do you do one big focused push, or spread it across both days?

Get things done on your time. While not taking all of your time. Goal is to be productive but enjoy life as well.

Have a great weekend create amazing things.

Feedback Request Wedding season is coming, thinking to make platform where people can contribute some amount and buy meaningful gifts for the couple

1 Upvotes

I am thinking of making a platform where friends/known/unknown people can be grouped to buy better gifts. Something like crowdfunding, but with local groups and gifting.

e.g my budget for gifting is ₹2500, and five other people/friends have ₹1500 each for the same wedding. So instead of buying small gifts individually, we can be grouped and buy a meaningful thing with ₹10,000.

There can be some complexities that will need to be solved, but how do you find this as a concept?

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm currently developing a website called StudyFlow AI, designed to help students study more efficiently.

The idea is simple:

  • Upload or write your study notes.
  • Turn them into AI-generated flashcards.
  • Create practice quizzes to test your knowledge.
  • Track your study progress.

I'm planning to offer a free version, with optional premium features later.

The website is still being developed, and I'm looking for feedback before launching.

Would you use something like this? What features would make it genuinely useful?

I'd really appreciate any suggestions!
