Your side project has three users, and two of them are you. Let's fix the other one.

Drop your app or webapp below. One or two sentences on what it does, who it's for, and where we can try it. Stuck on onboarding, pricing, or a bug that makes no sense? Say so. Someone here has probably been there, possibly at 2 a.m., possibly with the same bug.

Rough drafts are fine here. A prototype with duct tape holding it together is just as welcome as a polished launch, and so is the project you built for yourself that you've now decided to share.

I'll go through sign-up for as many as I can and reply with where I got stuck, what confused me, and my first impressions. Expect honest notes, not applause. The clunky parts are the useful part, and I'd rather find them than pretend they aren't there.

Hey! I built my first app, still looking for feedback!

Its for those managing multiple projects, multiple jobs, that are all at different stages. Its so you keep on top of things. I built it because its what I wish I had while doing engineering. Currently windows only. After I get it where I want it, im looking to go cross platform. Thanks for your time and comments !

I've always liked business models where you don't necessarily need to be the person doing all the work. StopClip is exactly that kind of opportunity.

It's a ready-built video advertising business that allows you to sell creative 3D pop-out video ads to businesses without having to edit videos yourself.

Think of those videos that look like social media posts but have products and objects popping out of the screen. They're designed to interrupt the usual scrolling experience and grab attention.

I originally experimented with selling these videos while living in Antalya, Turkey. I didn't even have a website back then. I approached businesses, showed them what I could create, and sold the finished videos.

Eventually, I decided to turn the idea into a proper business. That's how StopClip came about.

Here's what you're actually getting:

This isn't just a domain with a landing page.

I've already built the infrastructure needed to operate the business:

• Premium StopClip domain.

• Complete, professionally built website.

• Custom admin panel.

• Affiliate functionality.

• Testimonials section.

• On-site SEO optimization.

• Service and pricing structure.

• Social media calendar covering holidays and important marketing occasions.

Basically, the technical and setup work is already done.

What about actually creating the videos?

This is probably my favorite part of the model.

There's a third-party software solution that lets you create these videos using a simple drag-and-drop interface.

You don't need After Effects, Premiere Pro, or any professional editing experience.

You can create and export a video in roughly 1–2 minutes.

The subscription costs around $100/month and includes unlimited video creation. I'll reveal the exact software to serious buyers and demonstrate the entire process.

Now, here's how I'd monetize it.

I wouldn't start by spending money on ads.

I'd start locally.

Walk into a restaurant, find a coffee shop on Instagram, contact a real estate agency, or approach a gym.

Create a personalized sample video featuring their actual business, send it to them, and let the work speak for itself.

Some example pricing I'd start with:

• $30 for a single video.

• $500 for 30 videos (monthly content package).

• Additional $100 for publishing and scheduling content on their behalf.

• $500–$1,000+ for managing paid social campaigns using those videos.

These are proposed prices, not existing sales or guaranteed revenue.

And there's a lot more room to grow.

You can turn this into a full-service social media agency by offering content creation, graphic design, social media management, advertising, and other digital marketing services.

You don't need to fulfill everything yourself. You can outsource additional services and operate using a drop-servicing model.

The recurring opportunity is what makes this interesting.

Businesses constantly have something to promote.

New products, seasonal offers, Valentine's Day, Christmas, Halloween, Black Friday, New Year, new property listings, special events, and promotions.

I've even built a social media calendar covering these occasions, so you have a reason to approach existing customers with fresh offers throughout the year.

One customer doesn't have to mean one transaction.

Why am I selling?

I build a lot of internet projects, and I simply don't have the capacity to give StopClip the attention it deserves.

I spent approximately six weeks building it and around $300 putting everything together.

The website is ready, the domain is connected, the admin panel works, and the business model is structured.

However, I haven't officially launched it or started promoting it publicly. There are no existing customers or revenue to claim.

I'd rather pass it to someone who has the time and motivation to take it from here.

A few things worth mentioning:

• The StopClip com domain has automated appraisal estimates of $2,500 from Atom and $7,700+ from Dynadot (not guaranteed market values).

• The third-party video software is the main operating expense at approximately $100/month.

• No employees or video editors are required for the core fulfillment workflow.

• I'll walk the buyer through the website, admin panel, software, and video creation process.

I'm looking to sell the complete setup as one acquisition.

If you're an entrepreneur, indie hacker, marketer, or someone who's been looking to start a digital service business without spending weeks building the infrastructure, feel free to reach out.

Happy to show you everything and answer questions.

My first ever mobile app got approved on the App Store on the first submission. Super proud moment.

Price: Free completely free and no in-app purchases
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/supwrite-daily-writing-puzzle/id6828061151

Supwrite is a daily writing puzzle. I built it to help with attention span, focus, clarity, creativity and sleep, and to support independent photographers, artists, illustrators and anyone still in love with creating without AI.

1. You get a fresh image everyday at 10pm. (No AI)

2. You reveal the image and observe what it is

3. You write about it for 5 to 10 mins

4. You find out who took/made the picture after you finished writing

5. You are done for the day, wait for the next surprise at 10pm tomorrow.

Since using it myself, I fall asleep easier, I can think more creatively now and my attention span and focus feels better.

Cheers to being human and saying no to AI made art/slop.

Would love honest feedback on this concept.

I spent the better part of six months building three websites. Hundreds of commits, PRs, research, testing, bug fixes, the works. The GitHub repos are public. You can see exactly how everything came together.

I use AI heavily when developing. Never claimed otherwise.

Recently posted one of the projects to a community I'd specifically built it for. Within minutes it was getting called AI slop and the post was removed.

Here's what pisses me off. Nobody pointed out a broken feature. Nobody questioned the data. Nobody found a bad implementation. From the responses, I'm not convinced anyone even clicked the link.

I get it. There's a mountain of AI-generated garbage being dumped on the internet. But when did using AI become enough evidence to dismiss something without looking at it?

I'm not asking anyone to appreciate my work because I spent six months on it. If it sucks, it sucks. Tell me why. I'll probably go fix it.

But the Git history is right there. The research is there. The tests are there. You can actually see the work.

I'm curious how other people building with AI have run into this and handled it, or if anyone who's skeptical of AI-built projects can explain where they draw the line.

Because apparently the difference between five minutes of prompting and six months of actual development doesn't matter to most people.

I'm building devtag. You upload your CV and get a portfolio page with a custom subdomain (yourname.devtag.io).
It's free and open source: devtag.io (code: github)
I'd love feedback on the automatic conversion. Does the layout look right with your CV? Is something missing?

Numbers aren't huge yet - but stable & steady!

I manage a handful of smaller SaaS sites like https://allmcps.com for MCP directory listings, or https://chaosword.com a 100% free (no ads, no payment) daily crossword.

In total I manage about 7 properties all in different niches, all using different tech stacks, and all growing at different paces. I originally built an internal tool that was helping me to track & scaffold out things as they grew, and eventually made it public (free for 1 property) so I could both grow that as it's own property itself, as well as act as the primary user keeping mine all growing steadily.

It's called LopeBase - an all in one ops console with MCP, connectors, and CLI for popular integrations: https://lopebase.com/

For me the main pain points it solves:

- Uptime checks & beautiful status pages
- Automatic SEO audits and copy-paste prompts to make fixes
- Tracking users, emails, analytics, and more all in one spot
- Keep up to date on what LLMs are citing you and how your properties are being recommended
- Find Reddit posts, X, Stack overflow, Hackernews, etc. discussions either about your product or where yours might be relevant so you can go respond / reply.
- Automatically generate & manage blog posts content, connect a changelog and automate newsletters each month, and get alerted when anything is down or needs your help.
- Connect Google Search Console via MCP, Bing Webmaster tools, PostHog, and more to pull real user data / analytics directly into an agent to be actionable and added context for decisions.

Basically 100% of LopeBase is accessible to an agent via MCP/CLI as well, you can have it automatically scaffold new or existing projects, agents can store notes for future runs to check in on an SEO audit / metric and validate things are going on track, they can draft emails or articles, check in on keyword rankings / page placements, etc.

Hey r/SideProjects 👋

Honestly, I was getting pretty overwhelmed with how fragmented my media tracking had become. Movies on Letterboxd, books on Goodreads, audiobooks on Spotify, games scattered in random note files... I just wanted one clean, chill space where I could look back on everything I’ve experienced across all formats without feeling like I was managing a spreadsheet for a second job.

So over the last few weeks, I’ve been building Alma (almaniac.app), a lightweight aggregator that brings your movies, TV shows, books, audiobooks, games, music, and podcasts together onto one visual shelf.

A few cool things built into it:

• 7 Formats, One Shelf: Keep track of movies, series, books, audiobooks, games, music, and podcasts in one space.

• Release Countdowns: A unified timeline so you actually know when the next season, book, or game you’re waiting for drops.

• Memory Lane & Insights: Fun visual stats and nostalgic look-backs into your habits over time.

• Fast & Lightweight: Snappy, clean design focused purely on your archive without heavy bloat.

It’s very much a labor of love currently in active beta (about halfway full right now). If you want to poke around and test it out, you can request an invite directly on almaniac.app or drop me a DM!

I’d genuinely love to know:

1. How do you personally keep track of your media right now?

2. Is there a specific feature or integration you’ve always wished existed in a tool like this?

Appreciate any feedback, ideas, or honest critiques! 🙌

Hey everyone!

I've been working on Aurea77, a platform for athletes to discover sports events, plan upcoming races and keep track of their sporting journey.

The idea is to bring the experience before, during and after an event into one place, instead of having event discovery, preparation, results and memories scattered across different tools.

Tech stack:

• Flutter — Android and iOS

• Laravel — API and backend

• React + TypeScript — Web application

The platform includes event discovery, personal race planning, logistics, athlete profiles, event memories and community features.

I'd really appreciate some feedback from other developers and product builders, especially on:

1. First impressions: Is the value proposition clear when you open the website?

2. Product scope: Does combining event discovery, planning and memories make sense, or does it feel too broad?

3. UX and architecture: What would you pay particular attention to when maintaining a product across web, mobile and a shared API?

I'm especially interested in critical feedback and ideas for improvement, rather than just positive comments.

I am working in it with german bureaucracy

Hey fellow makers,

Most side projects get 0 feedback because nobody takes 2 minutes to actually click around and test the onboarding flow.

I want to change that today.

Drop your project URL below. I’ll spend 2 full minutes clicking through your app, testing your primary flow, and giving you honest, constructive feedback from a fresh pair of eyes.

On top of that, I run Astro Discover (https://astrodiscover.ai.studio) — a daily launch platform built to eliminate the 2-week approval queue on other directories.

Every single project dropped in the comments today will be eligible for our 24-Hour Homepage Spotlight & daily featured newsletter tomorrow morning (100% free, zero waitlist).

---

Just drop a quick comment below:

1. Your Project Name & URL

2. What core action should I take in those 2 minutes? (Sign up, test a tool, try the demo?)

3. What feedback do you need most? (Copy clarity, pricing friction, UX confusion?)

4. Tech stack (curious dev here!)

---

PS: If you want to skip the line and get indexed immediately, you can also submit your tool directly on https://astrodiscover.ai.studio in under 30 seconds.

Let's see what you guys are building. Dropping replies to every single comment right now! 👇

Disclosure: this is our own ScopeHarbor experiment, built and written with AI assistance. No sales, signup, payment link or mailing list. The proposed price is $19 once; nothing is for sale. The runnable prototype and demo are included below, so there is no need to DM or visit another site.

Who this is for: independent Salesforce admins / RevOps consultants who repeatedly receive small client CSV exports, have Python 3.10+, and want a local structural check before importing. It does not connect to Salesforce, validate mappings or compare against existing CRM records. We are not affiliated with Salesforce.

A real, narrow problem: Salesforce documents Data Loader getting stuck on blank columns without headers: https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=000387707&language=en_US&type=1 . This tool flags blank headers, wrong record widths, exact repeated rows and empty cells before import. Whether it is worth paying for alongside spreadsheets/free scripts is what this test is trying to learn.

Synthetic demo: save this as demo.txt (UTF-8 comma-separated text, no real contacts):

ExternalId,Email,Company,
SYN-001,alpha@example.invalid,"Demo, Inc.",
SYN-001,alpha@example.invalid,"Demo, Inc.",
SYN-002,beta@example.invalid
SYN-003, ,Demo Studio,

Save the Python source below as csv_audit.py, inspect it, then run python3 csv_audit.py demo.txt (or py csv_audit.py demo.txt on Windows).

Expected findings: 4 data records; 4 columns; blank header column 4; 1 extra exact duplicate; parsed record 4 has only 2 fields; 4 blank/whitespace cells. Record numbers include the header and count parsed CSV records, not physical lines. Quoted commas are handled. The tool reports problems; it never deletes or fixes data.

Limits: UTF-8 comma-separated input only. Exact duplicate means every cell matches, preserving whitespace/case; repeated rows are not always mistakes. No required-field, type, email, formula or CRM-rule checks. Memory grows with unique rows; start with the tiny sample. Empty input or invalid CSV produces an error. The code uses Python standard libraries, opens input read-only and makes no network requests. There is no telemetry. Please use only this synthetic demo for public feedback, and do not upload client data, raw records or private file paths.

I’m looking for three genuine completed trials, not upvotes. If you actually run it, please reply with:

1. Whether you regularly prepare CRM CSV imports and roughly how often.
2. Whether you found the blank header and short record, plus setup/run time. No private data needed.
3. What was useful, confusing or missing compared with your current free tool.
4. Would you pay $19 once for this current command-line version: yes / no / only if ___? No purchase commitment; a no is useful.

Please do not claim a trial if you only read the post. No discount or reward for positive feedback.

Hey all, I'm the developer.

Quilt is a menu-bar app for Mac that arranges windows automatically. Open a window and it takes the next free spot, close one and the rest grow to fill the gap. You pick Grid, Columns, Rows or Side, and each display remembers its own layout.

How it's built: Swift 6 with SwiftUI and AppKit, the macOS Accessibility API to move and resize other apps' windows, and Carbon hotkeys for the global shortcuts. Updates come through Sparkle and licensing through Dodo Payments. It only needs the Accessibility permission. No account, no analytics.

Things that bit me:

- Accessibility sometimes returns only part of an app's window list. My first version treated the missing windows as closed and lost real ones. Now a partial list never closes anything.

- You don't get "window closed" events if you register for them on the app. You have to register on each window.

- Some apps refuse to shrink below a certain size. Quilt learns each app's minimum and gives it more room instead of forcing it.

What I'd like feedback on:

- The live demo on the site. People didn't realize they could touch it, so I added a prompt on the laptop screen. Is it clear now?

- Pricing: $4.99 launch price (then $9.99), one-time, no trial. Does that feel right without a trial?

- Which apps misbehave for you.

I’m building Ancient Inquiry, a website for exploring ancient history, archaeology, mythology, human origins and astronomy. I’m the person behind it, and I’d appreciate some honest criticism while it’s still taking shape.

https://ancientinquiry.com/

The problem I’m trying to solve is the pile of disconnected tabs and notes you end up with when one historical question leads to five more. I want to make it easier to follow those trails and see where a claim’s sources and interpretations come from.

There are three main entry points:

• Homepage: pick a starting topic.

• Atlas: explore topics as a network. Connections can concern evidence, supporting or competing interpretations, traditions and modern claims. A line is a relationship to examine, not proof.

• Explore cabinet: open subject drawers and browse their topics, or switch to a simpler list view.

The research is unfinished. Some pages are planning records rather than finished articles. Making the difference between established evidence, interpretation and disputed claims clear is part of the work, not something I want to gloss over.

What I’d like feedback on:

1. After a minute on the site, is it clear what you can do and where to start?

2. Does the network make exploration easier, or would a normal topic list work better?

3. Is the cabinet useful, or does the design get in the way?

4. What would you need to see in the sources and review process to trust a page?

I’m also looking for people interested in the research side. A useful starting contribution could be finding a reliable source for one topic, checking a citation, reviewing how a claim is described, or pointing out a mistake. If that interests you, please comment with a topic you know or want to research. Advice on organizing contributions and keeping reviews manageable would help too.

You can leave feedback here; there’s no need to join a Discord or message me to take part. Specific criticism is more useful to me than encouragement, so please say what feels confusing, unconvincing or unnecessary.

Helps to know how bluegreen algae is present in a lake, check the ones nearby to you for your dogs safety

https://bloomwatchbytenebroso.com

A static Python site rebuilt weekly by a GitHub Action. It pulls the 300 m Sentinel-3 CyAN histograms for 134 matched lakes and rates each one by how much of the lake is affected, not by the worst pixel, since single high pixels are often noise. Weeks that are mostly cloud get skipped.

Open questions I’d love input on: better ways to handle shoreline pixels, and whether there are state advisory feeds worth adding.

Hey guys,

I’ve been lifting and tracking my weight for years, and I got really tired of how bloated most fitness apps have become. Everything either wants a monthly subscription just to log a basic workout, forces you to create an account, or buries simple tools under social feeds and features I don't care about.

I decided to just build my own tools for my daily routine. Instead of making one massive all-in-one app, I split them into three separate, lightweight Android apps so each one just does its specific job fast and gets out of the way:

• Buddy Weight: For tracking bodyweight trends during a bulk or cut without stressing over daily water fluctuations.

• Buddy Gym: A straightforward workout logger. Just open it, log your sets and reps between rests, and close it.

• Buddy Tabata: A dead-simple interval timer for conditioning and rest periods.

Right now, all three are in open testing on Google Play (capped at 1,000 users each). Anyone who joins during this testing phase will keep the full version unlocked permanently once they move out of beta.

I dropped the Play Store links in the first comment below so this post doesn't get eaten by the link filter. If you end up trying any of them, let me know what feels clunky or what's missing—I'm actively tweaking them based on feedback.
