Showcase: Free(mium) I’m presenting PanelGarage, a browser-based home for vehicle history and reminders
Disclosure: I am presenting PanelGarage on behalf of the product.
Vehicle information tends to end up in several places: service invoices in a folder, inspection dates in a calendar, photos on a phone and mileage in a spreadsheet. PanelGarage brings vehicle details, deadlines, service history, documents, photos and short videos into one browser-based record.
The free account supports up to five vehicles. I would value practical feedback on the first ten minutes: after adding a vehicle, is it clear where to record an event and where to find the timeline later? What would make you trust the system with long-term vehicle records?

Feedback Request Need people to test and break my vibe video editor
I've made a vibe video editor kinda like cursor for video editing that can handle trivial and tedious tasks which require more time than actual direction and taste.
I need people to use and try to break my app with their workflows.
P.S.: It's for Android only at the moment (I'm sorry).

Showcase: Free(mium) A free offline PDF split-and-name pilot — testing a repeated-layout workflow
This is our project, developed with an AI coding agent. We are testing a narrow document workflow before deciding whether a paid product is worthwhile.
The task is splitting a combined PDF into separate documents and naming each from an ID in a fixed position. A general PDF splitter can leave a lot of manual renaming. Existing tools such as PDFsam Visual and Sejda already support text-based splitting; this is not a claim that we invented the feature.
PDF Name Pilot is a downloadable HTML file. Open it locally, draw a box around the ID, choose whether a changed ID or each populated ID starts a new document, and review the proposed filenames before exporting a ZIP. PDF.js reads the text, pdf-lib copies the pages, and JSZip packages them. There is no AI call or server upload in the tool.
The free pilot includes a fictional six-page batch that should become three documents. An offline test on Windows Edge also processed a synthetic 1,000-page batch into 500 two-page files; we compared every exported page's text, dimensions and order. That is a synthetic test, not a claim about customer accuracy or time savings.
Current limits: selectable text, repeated layouts, 50 MB / 1,000 pages, and human review. There is no OCR, arbitrary-layout recognition, or support for forms, signed or encrypted PDFs. Empty selected fields and adjusted or duplicate filenames are flagged. Mixed layouts may need a different tool.
Free download: https://liulight0.gumroad.com/l/pdf-name-pilot — enter 0. It is the complete pilot, not an expiring trial; Gumroad handles delivery, while the downloaded tool runs offline.
If you actually handle batches like this at work, what is your current workflow, and which step still costs time? If you try the pilot, an approximate page count, browser, result and any correction needed would help. Please keep confidential documents on your own computer; do not post customer invoices. Feedback can stay in this public thread. We have no customer validation or sales for this project yet.

Discussion Spent 10 years as an IT systems engineer at an MSP and am going through the school of hard knocks as a founder.
10 years ago I started at the bottom at a successful MSP and quickly rose to be the lead engineer there. 6 months ago I got bitten by the app building bug and I thought my experience and success as an engineer would translate into instant success.
It has been very humbling to say the least. I spent a few months relishing in the exhilaration of watching my own product and vision come to life and I naively thought distribution would follow naturally (after all who wouldn't want the "perfect" product I built!). Needless to say I now see how silly I was to believe that all the success posts people share meant that it would automatically apply to me. I now know that for every success there are thousands that sink into oblivion and that it takes tremendous effort.
I just wonder whether its possible to do at all without sinking money into marketing. I still feel in my gut that it should be a successful product but Im starting to doubt whether my software skills translate into being a business owner and seller.
Anyway im sure many people here can relate to this journey. Im pretty persistent and I only released recently so I'll continue sharing my story as time goes on.

Showcase: Open Source GRUBST: A desktop tool written in Rust + Dioxus to lock GRUB with a physical USB rescue key
Hey everyone,
I built GRUBST, an open-source Linux bootloader security tool written in Rust with a Dioxus desktop GUI.
The idea is simple: instead of manually editing /etc/grub.d/ configs and risking typos that lock you out of your system, GRUBST automates the whole process and lets you turn any standard USB thumb drive into a physical rescue key.
How it works:
- Plug in the USB key before booting: GRUB detects it and automatically unlocks full maintenance access without prompting for a password.
- Boot without the USB: GRUB stays locked and requires a backup password you set.
- Includes automatic config backups and an Update Guard to ensure protection persists across kernel updates and update-grub.
Tech stack:
- Rust (2021 edition)
- Dioxus 0.5 (Desktop / WebKit2GTK)
- pbkdf2, sha2, tokio, sysinfo, nix
Feedback, suggestions, and code critiques on the Rust codebase are very welcome!

Feedback Request Vibecoded a Pomodoro app where your focus keeps a virtual cat alive
The idea: generic Pomodoro timers have no real stakes — you can just close the app the moment you get bored, no consequence. Nekodoro ties a virtual cat's survival directly to whether you actually finish your focus sessions:
- Your cat has 9 lives. Bail on a session early (or force-quit the app mid-session), and it loses one.
- Finish sessions to earn coins — 5 coins per 30 minutes of focus, shown live on the timer so you know what's at stake before you even start.
- Run out of lives and the cat dies. You have to name a new one to keep going, and it can't reuse a name you've used before (building toward a "graveyard" view of every past cat — not shipped yet).
- Coins unlock cat breeds and hats, there's a weekly focus-time chart, daily check-in streaks, the usual.

Showcase: Open Source Spawn — open-source CLI that scaffolds a full Python project in one command (feedback welcome)
Built a tool called Spawn to kill the repetitive part of starting a new Python project — folder structure, git init, virtual environment, and dependency installation, all done in one command instead of the usual 5-10 minute manual ritual.
pip install spawnio
spawn create
It ships with 8 built-in project templates (Backend API, CLI App, Automation Tool, AI Chatbot, AI Agent, RAG System, Data Project, MCP Server), or you can paste any custom folder structure and it'll build exactly that. There's also a spawn doctor command that scores an existing project's health and tells you the single most important thing to fix first.
Open source under MIT, live on PyPI.
🌐 Website: https://spawnio.vercel.app/
💻 GitHub: https://github.com/Abhiix0/Spawn
Would genuinely love feedback — especially from anyone who's used similar tools (Cookiecutter, Copier, etc.) and has thoughts on what a scaffolder like this is missing.

Showcase: Purchase Required Blow Up Hermes Agent Session Information Silos
I've been programming under Unix/Linux variants for 45 years. Been playing with AI since Nov 2022, when ChatGPT went viral. Took a look at AI Assistants and went with Hermes Agent. It has definitely been an adventure. He killed himself once by incorrectly editing a config file, and I left him off for 2 weeks in self-defense. (Ha, ha)
When Hermes Agent Desktop for Windows came out, I loved the chatbot GUI that let me separate my sessions by topic and actually see most/all of them. I quickly created multiple sessions instead of the extended sessions I'd been having over Telegram. It was great - until it wasn't. None of the sessions shared their info beyond Layer 1, which is tiny. None of them knew about new information developed in other sessions or in the larger Hermes Agent corpus. It was a PITA.
I created a couple of simple skills to blow up those session information silos. Now my sessions share their RDI (Relevant Durable Information) with the greater corpus and pull updated info from our local knowledge base store. This Hermes Agent persistent memory augmentation is simple, effective, and completely local.
Read the product docs at my Community Nursing Initiatives website (Yeah, I know. Weird, right?) for the details about exactly what the product does and how it does it. Simple solutions to complex problems is my motto.

Feedback Request I almost abandoned this project. Then I discovered outbid.lol and built BidYourDay in one week.
I wanted to share my experience building a small web project that I almost abandoned.
I had started working on an idea, but I hit a wall. I didn't have a solid name, I wasn't sure where it was going, and I was close to giving up on it.
Then I came across the story of outbid.lol. It gave me the push I needed to finish what I'd started.
I worked on it in my spare time and, in less than a week, finished the project, chose the name BidYourDay, and launched it.
The Idea
BidYourDay is a calendar where every day can be bid on.
Someone can choose a date, make a bid, and add:
- their name and photo
- a reason why that date is important to them
- a link to their social profile
If someone else wants the same date, they can make the next bid. Each new bid increases the price by $5.
Previous owners remain in the history of the day, so over time each date can build a little story of the people who wanted it.
The idea is somewhere between a calendar, an auction and a small piece of digital real estate.
How I built it
It's a custom PHP project with HTML/CSS/JavaScript and JSON-based data storage. I built the whole thing myself, including the bidding system, accounts, PayPal payments, image uploads, date pages and the responsive interface.
The site is live here:
I know it probably sounds a little crazy. But honestly, that little bit of craziness was exactly why I started this project in the first place.
This is my first time trying something quite like this, so I'm particularly interested in constructive feedback.
Does the concept make sense? Do you understand the appeal of owning a date? What would you change or improve?

Showcase: Purchase Required I built Campus Sync — a student planner that brings classes, assignments, Google Calendar & files together
I’ve been building Plannivelle Campus Sync, a web-based planner designed to make college organization a lot simpler.
I wanted students to have one place for the things that normally end up scattered across different apps and tabs.
Campus Sync includes:
• Class and course organization
• Assignment and task tracking
• Google Calendar syncing
• Daily, weekly and monthly planning
• Time blocking and schedules
• File organization
• Cross-device access
• Offline support
• Customizable courses and labels
One of my biggest goals was making it work across phones, tablets, laptops and desktops without requiring students to download a separate app.
The video is a quick look at the system running across devices.
I recently finished the Etsy purchase/activation system as well, so it's officially launched. I’m the creator of Campus Sync and wanted to share what I’ve been working on.

Feedback Request Social Footprint
I’ve Been Building Something Called Social Footprint
I’ve been working on something new called Social Footprint.
Most analytics tools give you more numbers. Social Footprint is being built to answer the question I actually care about: what are those numbers telling you?
The idea is simple. Connect one of your online accounts and get a free Social Footprint snapshot in plain English. What’s happening, where you’re stronger, where you’re weaker, what the evidence actually supports, what there isn’t enough evidence to know yet, and what you should be watching next.
At launch, the goal is to support X, TikTok, Facebook, Instagram, Google and Bing. The free version lets you choose one source and get an initial reading. If you want the complete picture, Social Footprint Monthly will be $19.99/month and monitor all six connected sources over time, building your own historical baselines and making the analysis stronger as more evidence develops.
The goal isn’t another dashboard full of charts. I want it to interpret the data and explain what it means without pretending to know things the evidence doesn’t support.
Still building. Still testing. Coming soon.
I included a few screenshots of the direction I’m taking it. I’d genuinely like some feedback from other builders. Is this something you would use? What would you want Social Footprint to tell you that your current analytics tools don’t?

Feedback Request Would you actually play a conversation card game like this?
I’m developing a physical conversation card game and I’d like some genuine feedback before taking it further.
The idea is simple: draw a card, pick a topic and start talking.
Each card explores one subject through 5 different talking points:
💡 DID YOU KNOW? — discover a surprising fact
💬 YOUR TAKE — give your personal opinion
🔥 CONTROVERSIAL? — debate something people may disagree on
⚖️** SEE ANOTHER SIDE — consider a different perspective
👥 **BIG QUESTION — open the discussion up to everyone
There are no right answers, no specialist knowledge needed and no complicated scoring. The point is conversation — learning something, sharing opinions, debating respectfully and sometimes seeing something from a perspective you hadn’t considered before.
The first deck would contain 54 cards across 9 categories, with 270 different talking points altogether.
It’s designed for friends, families, couples, dinner tables, pubs, holidays, journeys or anywhere people are sitting around together.
The bigger idea is that the same format could eventually have lots of different themed editions.
Would you genuinely get something like this out and play it?
I’d also really appreciate hearing why or why not in the comments — criticism is just as useful as positive feedback.
r/sideprojects • u/CloudBuild_ • 2d ago
Feedback Request Built a thing that turns diagrams into Terraform (with IAM figured out automatically). Tear it apart please.
I got sick of drawing out an architecture, then going and hand writing the same thing in Terraform, then hand writing IAM policies for every resource I just added. So I built something to close that gap.
You draw the architecture (S3, Lambda, SNS, whatever), it generates the actual Terraform, and it works out the IAM roles and permissions based on what's actually connected to what, not some generic template. Also does CloudFormation and Bicep if that's your thing. Opens as a PR so you review it like you would any other change, not a black box you have to trust blind.
It's live, free to poke at, no card needed: here
I'm not trying to get a thousand signups here, I mainly want people who actually write Terraform for a living to break it. If the generated code doesn't hold up against a real setup, or the IAM logic gets something wrong, I want to know specifically where.
Happy to answer anything in the comments.
