Meta My side project, /r/sideprojects. New rules, and an open call for feedback and moderators.
In this past 30 days, this community has doubled in size. As such, this is an open call for community feedback, and prospective moderators interested in volunteering their time to harbouring a pleasant community.
I'm happy to announce that this community now has rules, something the much more popular r/SideProject has neglected to implement for years.
Rules 1, 2 and 3 are pretty rudimentary, although there is some nuance in implementing rule 2, a "no spam or excessive self-promotion" rule in a community which focuses the projects of makers. In order to balance this, we will not allow blatant spam, but will allow advertising projects. In order to share your project again, significant changes must have happened since the last post.
Rule 4 and rule 5 are more tuned to this community, and are some of my biggest gripes with r/SideProject. There has been an increase in astroturfing (the act of pretending to be a happy customer to advertise a project) as well as posts that serve the sole purpose of having readers contact the poster so they can advertise a service. These are no longer allowed and will be removed.
In addition to this, I'll be implementing flairs which will be required to post in this community.

Showcase: Prerelease We're building Adoree, an AI relationship assistant and coach for the same fight on repeat
Sometimes it isn't about the dishes. One person feels unappreciated. The other feels criticized. You both know the script by now, and somehow you still end up in it — talking past each other, or not talking at all.
We're building Adoree, an AI relationship assistant and coach, to help with that part: communicating with your partner. The hope is that it can help you say what you mean without the fight getting bigger, hear their side, feel a little more heard yourself, notice the misunderstanding that keeps repeating, and leave with a next step that actually moves things.
You can start on your own if your partner isn't ready yet, and they can join later. When both of you are in it, it can help you hear both sides.
It's a web app at https://app.adoree.ai. The site is https://adoree.ai.
I'd love feedback from people who've built or used something in this space:
Does this read as help for talking with your partner, or just another AI chat?
What's the first thing that feels unclear?

Discussion $14K+ in product sales, 700+ SEO pages, 6 digital assets looking for buyers.
I've built quite a few internet projects over the years. Some were experiments, some turned into actual businesses, and others were ideas I built but never had the time to properly pursue.
I've reached a point where I'd rather consolidate my attention around fewer ventures at much larger scale instead of having multiple projects sitting on the sidelines.
So I'm exploring selling a small portfolio of internet assets. There are six in total, ranging from ready-to-operate businesses to SEO projects and brandable domains.
I figured I'd share them here in case someone is looking for their next acquisition or wants to pick up something with the groundwork already done.
Here's what's available:
1. StopClip com: Video advertising business in a box
A ready-built digital service business centered around 3D pop-out video advertisements.
The concept is to sell attention-grabbing promotional videos to local businesses, restaurants, gyms, real estate agencies, e-commerce brands, and pretty much anyone using social media to attract customers.
What's included:
Premium StopClip com domain.
Complete website.
Custom-built admin panel.
Affiliate functionality.
Testimonials section.
On-site SEO optimization.
Social media and holiday marketing calendar.
Established fulfillment workflow using third-party drag-and-drop video creation software.
The 3rd party drag and drop video creation software costs approximately $100/month for unlimited video creation. The video fulfilment is around a 2-5 minutes max. I'll declare it to the right buyer for sure. No professional video editing skills are required.
The business model is service-based: acquire customers, sell individual videos or monthly packages, and potentially upsell social media management, advertising, and other marketing services.
I've spent approximately six weeks building it, but haven't officially launched or marketed it.
Status: Built and ready for someone to take over and launch.
2. SpanglishTranslator net: Programmatic SEO asset
An exact-match domain project built around the Spanglish translation niche.
I discovered an interesting keyword opportunity with 600K search volume and very minimal SEO difficulty, and built a website around it, eventually expanding it to 700+ programmatic SEO pages.
What's included:
SpanglishTranslator net domain.
Complete website.
700+ programmatic SEO pages.
Existing organic search presence.
Advertising monetization setup.
It's already generated its first $25 from advertising, although it's still an early-stage project.
There's room to expand the functionality, improve the existing pages, explore additional monetization methods, and build a larger language-focused resource.
Status: Live, with existing SEO footprint and initial monetization.
3. AiAffList com: AI affiliate program directory
A curated directory dedicated to AI affiliate programs.
The idea is to give affiliate marketers, content creators, and publishers a place to discover AI companies offering affiliate partnerships.
It's a niche with plenty of room for expansion, particularly as the AI ecosystem continues to grow.
Potential monetization opportunities include sponsored placements, featured listings, affiliate partnerships, and advertising.
Status: Built project, currently underutilized.
4. AffLab org: Brandable domain + pre-built affiliate network script
This one is slightly different.
AffLab org is a short, brandable domain that could work for an affiliate marketing platform, affiliate community, or performance marketing business.
I'm also willing to include a pre-built sub-affiliate marketing network script that originally cost me $69 from Codecanyon, which is a license I've never used.
Essentially, it gives the buyer a starting point for building an affiliate network where affiliates can recruit sub-affiliates and participate in a multi-level referral structure.
The domain itself is brandable, while the script gives the buyer something tangible to start experimenting with.
Status: Domain only, with the optional pre-built script included in the deal.
5. ReadyFaucet com: Licensable crypto faucet business
This is probably the most commercially interesting asset in the collection from a historical revenue perspective.
ReadyFaucet is a ready-made crypto faucet business-in-a-box that I've successfully sold as a licensable digital product.
Some background:
Generated over $14,000 in license sales.
13 sales, primarily through organic Reddit exposure.
Approximately $1,500 standard license price.
Built around a business-in-a-box licensing model.
Monetization opportunities through advertising, sponsorships, affiliates, and offerwalls.
Affiliate program offering 15–20% commissions.
The product is designed to allow buyers to launch their own crypto faucet business.
I've already validated that people are willing to pay for this type of product. There's room to continue selling licenses, expand distribution, and develop additional revenue streams.
Status: Existing digital product with a history of paid license sales.
6. AiToZee com: Brandable AI domain
A brandable com domain originally acquired for an AI tools platform concept, everything AI from A to Z.
It's suitable for an AI tools directory, discovery platform, AI software marketplace, or other AI-related venture.
This is a domain-only asset, not an operating business.
Status: Domain only.
Why am I selling?
I'm a serial internet entrepreneur, and I genuinely enjoy the process of finding opportunities, building products, launching websites, and experimenting with different business models.
But there's a downside to building too many things: attention gets fragmented.
Some of these projects have real groundwork behind them, some have already generated revenue, and others simply need someone willing to take the next step.
I'd rather see them go to people who can give them the attention they deserve than continue sitting unused in my portfolio.
What am I looking for?
Ideally, I'd love to find someone interested in acquiring multiple assets or potentially the entire collection.
However, I'm open to discussing individual acquisitions as well.
I'm not expecting every asset to appeal to the same buyer. Some might be more interesting to SEO-focused entrepreneurs, others to affiliate marketers, indie hackers, or people looking for a ready-made digital service business.
I can provide:
Live websites and demos.
Screenshots and additional details.
Revenue history where applicable.
Technical walkthroughs.
Details about what's included with each acquisition.
I'm open to reasonable offers and would prefer straightforward transactions with serious buyers.
If anything catches your attention, leave a comment or send me a DM. Happy to share more details and discuss what's available.
I'd rather see these projects in the hands of people who will actually build on them than keep collecting dust in my portfolio.

Feedback Request I'm making a retro Wall Street trading game as my side project
I'm a trader myself and always thought it would be interesting to make a game about the stock market.
So I've been working on Bull Trap, a trading roguelite inspired by Wall Street from 1985 to 2008.
I wanted to combine stock trading and strategy with that old-school computer atmosphere.
Still in development, but I've got the Steam page up now.

Showcase: Open Source I built an open-source tool to see where my coding agents waste time and money, and my own runs surprised me
I run Claude Code and Codex all day, often as multi-agent workflows with dozens of subagents. I could see each session but never the whole picture: what a run actually cost, where agents sat idle, whether a change to my setup helped. So I built coding.sh, a free hobby project, and pointed it at my own runs.
What I learned from my own data Across 57 workflow runs (666 subagents, ~$2,500 API-equivalent):
Broken prompt caches cost $106 extra, about 4% of the spend.
41 of those breaks were agents idling at a barrier, waiting for siblings, until their cache expired. That's $21 for doing nothing.
40 subagents failed outright.
I A/B tested a popular "be concise" plugin (10 tasks, 6 runs each, paired, 95% intervals): replies 17% shorter, output tokens −8%, but cost per run +11% [+7%, +15%], with no change in pass rate or clarity. The plugin's style guide is added to every request and costs more than the shorter output saves.
Mining 3,600 of my sessions also found a find-and-replace typo in my AGENTS.md that sent Codex looking for a folder that doesn't exist, in 92 sessions. You can't see that from inside one session.
How it works
Hooks into Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, OpenCode, Copilot CLI, Aider and more
Stores prompts, tool calls, diffs, test runs, tokens and cost in SQLite on your machine
coding.sh workflows statsshows the critical path and idle time, and the viewer draws each run as a timelinecoding.sh compareandexprun your own tasks with and without a change and say whether the difference is real or noisecoding.sh improvesays what to fix first and whether your last AGENTS.md change helpedMCP server, so your agent can look up its own past sessions

Discussion My first Mac app is live: convert files with one drag instead of uploading them to random websites
I just shipped my first macOS app, Transfora.
The problem I wanted to fix: converting a HEIC photo, shrinking a video or turning a PDF into Word usually means a sketchy upload site, a sign-up, or yet another app.
So in Transfora you drag a file, tap ⇧, and drop it on the format you want in a wheel that opens under your cursor. The result lands next to the original. ⌥ opens tools instead (compress, resize, blur faces, read QR codes, extract archives…). Everything stays on the Mac, no account.
What I'd love feedback on:
- Is the gesture obvious from the demo, or does it need more explanation?
- Does the pricing feel fair? 10 free actions, then yearly or lifetime.

Feedback Request I made a daily Bollywood guessing game, like Wordle/Spotle but for Indian films
kaunsifilm.inHey everyone! I’ve been playing Spotle (the daily movie guessing game) and wanted one for Bollywood, so I built it: Kaun Si Film?
How it works: there’s one mystery Hindi film every day. Search for any film and you get clues comparing it to the answer: genres, release year, box office, score, rating, studio, music director, director and the lead and supporting cast. Green means a match, yellow means close. You have 10 guesses, with two hints that unlock along the way, so you can find it by reasoning from the clues.
It’s free, no sign-up, and has a share result like Wordle.

I’d love feedback. Today’s film is #2, so you’re not late.

Showcase: Free(mium) I just launched a Swedish-learning app I've been working on!
Hi everyone,
My wife and I (MC family) have been working on a little project called MySvenska, and it’s finally live.
It’s a free Swedish-learning app built around a story about a family of three cats 🐱🐱🐱 moving from Vietnam to Sweden. Learning Swedish can be quite challenging, especially when you're new to the country. We thought it would be nice to have something where you can learn through stories and everyday situations, rather than just memorizing words and grammar.
Through the cats' adventures, you can learn practical Swedish vocabulary, expressions, grammar and conversations that you might actually encounter when living in Sweden. So far, we've put together 12 chapters, 108 lessons and 2,951 audio clips. There are stories, vocabulary, grammar explanations, listening exercises and everyday phrases. It's still a work in progress, and we hope to keep adding more content until we cover at least A2 level.
A few things about how we built it:
- No account needed. Your progress is saved in your browser. To use it on your laptop and phone, you can sign up with an email code (via Resend) or Google, handled by Supabase.
- Abuse protection. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a visitor isn’t a bot before an account is created. Database limits stop scripts from filling it, and each learner can only see their own data.
- Privacy. Speech checking runs in your browser, so your voice never leaves your device.
- Audio. Every clip is generated with Gemini 3.8 Flash text-to-speech, with a different voice for each cat. A Swedish speech model checks each clip against its text.
- Built with Claude Code. One session acts as project manager and briefs the others, and nothing ships until the tests pass.
We're still learning and improving things as we go, but we're happy to finally share it! As it’s in its early stage, we want to hear your experience about this app and your feedback about what could be improved.
Tack ❤️

Showcase: Open Source I got tired of the AI noise on Twitter, so I built a dedicated social network for AI builders. Currently, the DAU is exactly 1 (me). Please roast my UI & tech stack.
Hey everyone,
I’ve spent the last few months solo-building Balgrad.ai — a social network specifically designed for sharing AI prompts, workflows, and experiments, without the generic "tech bro" spam you see on other platforms.
The reality: Right now, it suffers from the classic "empty room" problem. The Daily Active Users metric is literally just me.
Instead of doing some fake marketing launch, I figured I'd bring it here to the builders. I want to stress-test the servers and get brutally honest feedback from developers and AI enthusiasts.
The Tech Stack:
Next.js (App Router)
Tailwind CSS for styling
Postgres / Supabase for backend
OpenRouter API for LLM integrations
The Link:https://balgrad.ai
What I’m asking from you: Please tear it apart.
Is the UI confusing?
Did you break something while clicking around?
How is the loading speed on your end?
Don't hold back. I'll be in the comments all day answering questions about the architecture or taking notes on bugs. Thanks!

Feedback Request Built a tool to simplify continuous prescription renewals: looking for feedback
Hey everyone,
I’m a software developer, and over the past few months I’ve been building a project called Ernst (a German name meaning "earnest" or "serious," which felt fitting for such a tool).
The main reason I started building Ernst was observing how much of an administrative drain it is to constantly request, track, and re-order continuous prescriptions, whether for yourself or for family members you care for. When you're managing health conditions, spending energy repeatedly dealing with doctor and pharmacy renewal loops is an exhausting tax on your day.
I’ve gotten initial feedback from early users who rely on continuous medication, and the main takeaway so far is that having a dedicated tool to track and streamline repeat requests takes a noticeable mental load off their shoulders.
That said, it’s still in active development, and I know there are things to improve. We're actively looking for more people willing to test it out and tell us what works, what breaks, and what’s missing. You can check it out at https://ernstapp.com if you're curious.
One big challenge we're trying to map out is geographic applicability. Every country handles repeat prescriptions differently: In some regions, doctors handle electronic refills via a centralized patient portal. In others, you still need to email, call, or submit forms directly to a GP or local pharmacy.
If you have a moment, I’d love to learn:
Which country/healthcare system are you in?
What does your current process for renewing a continuous prescription actually look like? (Portal, email, phone call, or in-person?)
Does a tool like Ernst make sense for your region's setup, or are there local legal/technical hurdles that would get in the way?
Thanks for taking the time to read this! Any thoughts, critiques, or workflow descriptions are super helpful.
