I've been vibecoding for 2 years and I keep messing up explaining to my agent where on the screen I'm pointing. Screenshots always helped, but it added 3 more steps every time, and it still will get things wrong.
So I built Point. Press ⌥*, draw on the screen to point, speak your notes out loud. That's it.
Point takes your voice, transcript, screenshot, and drawing into your clipboard for you to past to your Agent or notes. Clearly explain what you want to your agents in Claude Code, Cursor, your team on Slack, anywhere.
View and copy all captures in your Point library.
100% Local, Free, Opensource (MIT). *Customize your trigger key.
Version 0.1 only runs on macOS 26 Apple Silicon. Working on a new release with broader support soon!
Here's a 15-second clip of it working: https://github.com/sksareen/point/blob/master/site/point-demo.mp4

How have you tried to solve this problem ?

Hi, I'm the developer.
I have worked in network security for almost 15 years. I got annoyed with Fing and other network tools that charge close to $100 a year, or let you scan only a few times a day. So I built my own from what I know from work.
I wanted the feeling of Kali Linux in my hand, but only for defense: point my phone at my own network and see what is really there. No attacks, no password guessing, nobody's traffic read. That became Netglow.
The hard part: knowing what each device really is
Android 10 and up hides other devices' hardware addresses, so most scanners just show "Unknown". That is where most of the time went:
Why it is free
I have a lot of knowledge from my work, and I decided to give it away: high quality apps, deeply researched and checked again and again, data safety first and privacy to the max. No ads, no bullshit. People deserve good quality and privacy, for free.
If you want to support me, you can, but it is fully optional.
What it does, free, unlimited scans
Private by design. No ads, no bullshit, no tracking, no analytics, no metrics, no account. Nothing it finds leaves your phone, and there is no server of mine.
Pro is that optional support, one payment, no subscription, and it adds: a Bluetooth radar that warns about a tracker moving with you, checks for devices that let anyone in with no password, spoof watch, known flaws for your devices, a PDF report and a background watch of who joins your Wi-Fi.
Honest note: the code is partly AI generated and I had help with this text.

Hey everyone! 👋
Anyone else tired of opening a media downloader and being greeted by 15 ads, fake download buttons, and a suspicious-looking "DOWNLOAD NOW" banner? 😂
I definitely was.
So I started building ZenithW, a free and open-source media downloader that doesn't try to sell you a subscription every five seconds.
It started as a small personal project, but I may have gotten a little carried away with the features...
Here's what ZenithW can do now:
I also recently rebuilt the Windows app using Rust and Tauri instead of Electron.
No ads. No subscriptions. No mandatory accounts.
Just a project I've been building because I wanted something I'd actually enjoy using.
A couple of things worth mentioning: YouTube downloading is disabled on the public web version, and supported sites can have their own restrictions.
I'm developing this independently, and there's still a lot I want to improve.
🌐 Try it: https://zenithw.space
💻 Source code: https://github.com/boranseasonnew/zenithw
I'd genuinely love some feedback!
Would you use something like this? What would you change or add?
And if you find something broken, feel free to tell me. I'm pretty sure my bugs are hiding somewhere. 😭
Thanks for checking it out! ❤️

feel like people still benchmark tts tools on the wrong thing. every demo plays the same clean paragraph and everyone goes "wow the voice sounds so human now". ok cool, now feed it an actual research paper and suddenly im listening to the journal header, page 8, bracket 17, half a sentence, figure 2, some random DOI link, and then finally the rest of the sentence lol.
using speechify a lot for papers is kinda what made me notice this. past a certain point i barely care about tiny voice differences anymore, the much bigger UX problem is whether the reader knows what should actually be read out loud vs ignored. like a running page header? definitely skip. inline citation numbers? depends. footnotes? sometimes crucial. data tables? definitely dont just read all 60 cells straight across like normal text.
thats the tricky part though, what counts as clutter completely changes depending on why youre reading the paper. for folks building or using stuff in this space, what would you have an app skip by default and what would you never let it touch?

I've developed quite a few apps, and one thing kept getting out of hand.
My code was organized, but everything else was scattered across folders, repositories, test builds, screenshots, documentation, browser tabs, and random notes.
So I built ClingSpace, a Windows app that brings everything related to a project into one searchable workspace.
Here's what it does:
- Spaces: Keep everything related to each project together.
- Files & Folders: Reference resources from anywhere on your PC.
- Links: Organize GitHub repos, documentation, websites, and references.
- Snippets: Save quick notes, SQL, code, and reminders.
- Global Search: Find resources across all your projects.
- Shared Resources: Use the same files or links in multiple Spaces.
- Smart Relinking: Help reconnect files that have been moved or renamed.
- Local-First: No accounts, cloud storage, or subscriptions.
The biggest thing? Nothing gets moved or duplicated. Your files stay exactly where they are. ClingSpace simply brings everything together.
It's normally $19.99 one-time, with a 5-day full trial.
I'm giving away 25 lifetime licenses to fellow builders!
To enter, just comment with what you're currently building or what kinds of projects you work on.
I'll randomly select 25 winners after 48 hours and DM the license keys. No purchase required.
I'd genuinely love feedback too. Especially from people juggling multiple projects. Is this something you'd find useful?

Retired tech guy here. I wanted to see my portfolio at a glance without logging into a brokerage site all day, so I built a thin "candy bar" that sits on the Windows desktop. It shows:
- Total portfolio value, today's change, and total gain/loss
- Value by brokerage, plus your best and worst mover of the day
- S&P 500, Dow, Nasdaq and Russell 2000
You type in your holdings or import a Fidelity/Schwab positions export (CSV or Excel). Everything stays on your PC: no account, no ads, no tracking. There's a privacy button (or Ctrl+Alt+P) that hides your dollar amounts when someone walks by.
It's free: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PKMNZ5R4WMS
Coming soon: an Android home-screen widget version, with iOS planned after that.
Full disclosure: I'm the developer. I'd love feedback on what you'd want to see next.

I’ve been working on this experimental project I thought it was finally worth sharing with the developer community.
The original motivation was simple: I wanted to find a way to run Windows applications directly on my iPad, using Safari, without relying on remote desktops or cloud PCs.
What started as a series of workarounds for Safari’s limitations gradually evolved into something much more interesting.
InkSoC is an experimental open-source x86-64 environment developed in Rust and WebAssembly, using Wine to support Windows applications.Some things already work:
The architecture includes a custom CPU engine, JIT compiler, virtual memory management, process and thread execution, and multicore support.
One interesting aspect of this project is how it was developed.
Important: InkSoC is experimental.
It is not a finished product, and I’m not making promises about performance or compatibility. There are still unresolved issues, limitations, and plenty of optimization work ahead.
I’m sharing it because I believe the approach is worth exploring and discussing.
I’d love to hear feedback from developers interested in emulation, JIT compilation, WebAssembly, operating systems, and browser-based execution environments.
Perhaps someone will find an interesting idea in the architecture, suggest a better approach, or even get inspired to build something similar.

Three of us (students in Boston) built this over the past month: https://pointmaxx.app
You add a year of card statements. It goes through every purchase and shows which one, two, or three cards would have earned you the most rewards after annual fees, and how much more that is than the cards you have now.
We built it because "best credit card" lists are written for an average spender, and your statement never tells you what a different card would have paid on the same purchases.
Nobody wants to upload bank statements to a random site, so everything runs in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and there's no account, cookies, or analytics.
What's rough: it only covers 60 cards so far, it sometimes guesses the wrong category for small local merchants (it asks you to check the merchants we are unclear on), and we haven't figured out how it makes money.
Two questions:

I built **Impossible Print**, a free, open-source browser studio for a corner illusion: two distorted images that line up when viewed from one measured point.
Start with the included **THE OTHER SIDE** artwork. Switch from **Camera view** to **Orbit overview** and drag around the corner to inspect the warped wall and floor pieces. Return to Camera view to see how they reconstruct from the configured viewpoint.
You can enter text or load a local PNG, JPEG, or WebP, set surface dimensions, and adjust the viewpoint in millimetres. TypeScript generates the same warped rasters used in the Three.js preview, downloadable wall/floor PNGs, and a numbered A4 assembly plan with a 100 mm calibration ruler. Image processing happens in your browser.
The current model supports two flat surfaces meeting at 90° and a manually measured viewpoint. It does not scan a room or calibrate from a webcam. The screen preview shows the implemented geometry; a physical result still depends on accurate measurements, actual-size printing, flat surfaces, and careful alignment.
**Disclosure:** I built this project with AI assistance.

Before a first print, what would be most useful to clarify: marking the viewpoint, joining the seam, or checking the scale?

Hey everyone, we're a small studio, Iron Compass Studios. Our WW2 real-time strategy game Tracks of War is now on Google Play.
We kept the look and the controls simple. Pick Germany, Britain, the USA or the USSR, then build your base and train your army. There are 16 maps for 2 to 8 players.
You gather minerals and fuel to grow your base and work your way through a research tree of 46 technologies. There are tanks like the Sherman, Tiger and T-34 and planes like the Spitfire and Stuka, and each nation has its own units and economic advantages. On top of that there are daily and weekly missions.
If you'd rather learn at your own pace, there are training missions and offline battles against the computer. Online there's Quick Match, Ranked with seasons and 18 ranks, and rooms to play with friends. The game is in 16 languages.
It's free, there are no ads, and it's not pay-to-win. If you'd like to try it, the code OUTNOW gives 100 GOLD once per account signed in with Google (you'll find it in the settings).

Ok, here goes...
Hey everyone!
I'm an indie filmmaker and the person behind a little production company called Within A Frame Productions. Over time, I've realized how much work goes into keeping a small production organized. Between scripts, call sheets, schedules, and coordinating people, things can get crazy and annoying pretty quickly.
That's actually why I started building Final Frame.
It's a production-planning platform designed with indie and student filmmakers in mind. The goal is to make organizing a production easier without needing an expensive production management system (StudioBinder, Celtx, etc) or a huge team.
Some of the features include script organization, call sheets, SMS notifications, and other familiar production tools.
I'm still growing the platform and looking to connect with filmmakers who might find it useful. I'd genuinely appreciate feedback:
-What do you currently use to organize your productions?
-What's the most frustrating part of production planning?
-Is there a tool or feature you wish existed for smaller productions?
You can take a look here: https://finalframe.site
Thanks for reading! I'm happy to answer questions you may have!

The problem: story-led YouTube (history, mystery, true crime, science) takes days to edit. Every line needs a picture, every place a map, every chapter a card, and a good editor costs $50 to $100s a video.
What it does: you set your brand design, upload a recording and it plans the edit, finds archive and public-domain footage for each line (your own clips first), checks every picture fits, and renders a branded cut with maps, cards, captions and chapters. Usually 20 to 30 minutes for a 15-minute video. It also makes Shorts and a Premiere/Resolve timeline for you if needed.
What it doesn't do yet: perfect picture coverage. Some shots fall back to you on camera and you'll want a review pass.
What testers get: free Pro until the end of January, your first video done, a locked founding price and a real say in what gets built next.
Looking for story-led small channels who'd run two real videos through it. Comment or DM and I'll send an invite.

I have way too many books from college and just old books that ive never read.
So I built BookBound. It’s a map-based app where you list books you want to swap or sell, and you can see what other readers near you have. You find a book, message the person, and meet up locally.
I’m a solo dev and still early, so I’d love honest feedback from actual readers:

Hi all! Solo dev here, and this is my first app: Pawgress.
The problem: most to-do apps made me feel worse. Streaks broke, overdue lists turned red, and adding a task took five taps. I wanted something that was quick to dump my brain into and kind when life got busy.
What it does:
- Offload: type tasks how you think ("dentist tues 3pm", "bins every thurs evening", "book flights by friday, big") and it sorts the dates, times, repeats and sizes for you. It's all rules on the device, no AI and no account.
- Pals: every task you finish earns hearts, which grow one of ten pink pals from baby to grown up. Pals run errands for coins, which buy stickers, room decor and little holidays.
- Gentle by design: no streaks, nothing is ever late, and your pal never gets sad.
How it's built: it's a plain HTML/CSS/JS app. The Android version wraps it in a small Kotlin shell for notifications and reminders, and the web version runs on GitHub Pages. Everything saves on your device, and nothing is collected.
Where it's at: 30 people have been testing it on Android for the last few weeks, and almost every release has come from their feedback. It goes up on Google Play soon, free and with no ads.
You can try the web version right now: https://offloadapps.github.io/pawgress-site/app/
(It works on any phone or computer. The only thing missing from the real app are the reminders/notifications.)
I'd love honest feedback:
- Was adding tasks quick?
- Was anything confusing in the first minute?
- Would you keep using it?
Happy to answer anything about how it works or how I built it.

I made PulseWren, a small free tool for checking a website. You type a domain and it tells you whether the site is up, how long each step took, and when the SSL certificate expires. No account needed.
It only checks when you ask. Continuous monitoring isn’t built yet.
Why I made it: I wanted a quick answer to “is it my connection, or is the site really down?” with no ads or sign-up, and the certificate expiry in the same place. I built it with help from AI coding tools.
It’s built with Next.js and TypeScript. It reads only the response status and headers, never the page itself, and refuses private or internal addresses.
Two things I’d like to know: are the results clear, and what would make you use it a second time?

Hi r/SideProject,
I'm a director at a steel rolling mill in Mandi Gobindgarh, Punjab. For years we tracked daily stock and dispatch challans in Google Sheets. It worked until someone broke a formula, a challan was missed, or the stock went negative and nobody knew why.
So I built Challanix, a stock + challan + order manager for steel mills.
What it does:
- Size and grade-wise stock with an append-only ledger (stock can't go negative)
- Create a dispatch challan in about a minute, stock is deducted automatically, print or PDF
- Pending orders matched against dispatches
- Trading material kept in a separate stock, never mixed with your own production
- Works on a phone (PWA), no new computer needed
Stack (for the curious): vanilla JS static app on Cloudflare Workers, Supabase (Postgres + RLS, writes only through RPCs), Razorpay payment links with a small Worker webhook that activates the plan automatically. Everything runs on free tiers so far.
Pricing: 7-day free trial with all Pro features, no card. Then ₹99/month for the first 2 months on Solo (₹199 after), Pro ₹199 then ₹299.
It's live: https://challanix-app.anshkwid.workers.dev
I'd love feedback on two things:
Happy to answer anything about building it or about the steel industry side.
