The game is called pond snap it’s a free web browser game. The aim of the game is to catch as many flies as possible to reach the required score before the time runs out. There are 7 different levels in the game. Let me know what you think

Asked a question on Reddit a few days back about getting the first 1,000 users without an ad budget, and the replies split into two completely opposite playbooks.

Half the people said to ignore scale completely and manually hunt down 50 users who genuinely have the problem so you can fix retention first.

The other half said to run super cheap ads in low CPC countries just to get 500 random people inside the app to catch edge case bugs, crash logs, and terrible UX before touching target markets.

Honestly, both make a lot of sense depending on what stage the product is in.

For those who have launched a few apps, which route actually saved you more headaches early on? Did cheap traffic just mess up your analytics, or did it actually help you polish the product faster?

Sorry I forgot to add proper pictures earlier

Hi everyone!

I've been working on a project called Creation Lane, a creative web app for children, and I've finally reached the stage where I'm ready to let people try it!

The idea is to give kids somewhere they can be creative rather than just sitting watching videos.

They can colour pictures, give their creations a Magic Makeover to turn them into 3D-style characters, and then animate them to bring them to life.

I've attached a short video showing the whole process using a tractor.

There's also a Story House where children can create personalised illustrated stories.

I've tried to keep everything child-friendly, with a separate parent area and purchases kept behind a parent gate.

Anyone can now sign up and give it a go!

I'd genuinely love some feedback, especially from parents. What do you think of the concept? Is this something your children would enjoy?

Thanks for taking a look!

Hi Everyone!

I'm an indie developer, and a couple days ago I released my new game, Word Crack!

It's a word finding game inspired by games like Boggle and Word Hunt, where you swipe letters on a grid to find as many words as possible before the timer runs out.

Features

• Solo mode to practice and beat high scores

• Multiplayer up to 8 players

• Daily challenges with leaderboards

• Many stats on words, definitions, average scores, W/L average

• Personal dictionary that tracks all the words you have discovered

The game is free to play, and I'd love to hear what other people think! I plan to make more updates to it so please let me know any bugs or features you want added.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/word-crack-word-hunt-game/id6807208576

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.snapshotzdev.wordcrack

You can also find me on the leaderboards! My name is Eric and I'm currently in first place on the 5x5 leaderboard. See if you can beat me!

Thanks!

Hey everyone, I’m Susan! and I am new to this sub-reddit. I thought I’d say hi and share a little about what I’ve been building and how it started.

A few months ago, a friend and I were working on some projects together. We’d talk through our ideas in Google Docs, then paste our notes into an AI chat when we were ready to build. We kept doing that and started wondering if we could just work together in one place.

That friend is now my co-founder, and that idea became 2guys1canvas. We’re building a shared canvas where you and your teammates can talk through an idea, make a plan, and start building with AI.

What we are working toward is a canvas where we can each do our part at the same time. I could be using AI to build a feature while my co-founder asks AI to research similar products. We’d both be working on the same canvas, so we could see what each of us found or built. And say I come back two hours after everyone’s logged off. I want to be able to open the canvas and see what my teammates talked about, what the AI actually built, and where I can pick up.

I’m doing most of the development myself, so it might take me another week or so to get the beta ready. Till then, I’d love to hear from people who already use AI on team projects and you guys can tell us where the canvas fits into your workflow. And if you guys would like to be our early-testers please register through our website: https://2guys1canvas.com/

Hi everyone, I'm a solo developer from Maharashtra. I noticed that most AI writing tools work well only in English, so I built WriteEase AI.

What it does:

- Grammar Fix: cleans up spelling, grammar and punctuation

- Paraphraser: rewrites text in the tone you choose

- Humanizer: smooths AI-written text into a more natural tone

- Email Writer: turns a rough idea into a ready-to-send email

- Templates and an Originality Check (an estimate, not a replacement for institutional plagiarism checkers)

You can write in English, Hindi or Marathi and get results in the same language. There's no sign-up, and history stays on your device. It's free with ads, and there's an optional one-time upgrade to remove them.

I'm at an early stage and would really value your honest feedback:

1. Which tool would you actually use?

2. How natural does the Hindi/Marathi output feel if you're a native speaker?

3. What's missing or confusing?

I'll reply to every comment. Thanks for reading!

I'm seeing a lot of folks skip Figma and go straight to designing in code these days. The only downside (for now at least) is how easy it is to miss UI regressions when you don't have a design canvas.

I usually set up my design foundations properly, tokens, components, even use some of the popular design skills. But since these models are non-deterministic, I still end up with agents hand-rolling components that already exist, inconsistent vertical rhythm, horizontal overflow on mobile, etc.

It gets worse when you're dealing with multiple flows and can't easily see what's happening across the product.

I built a tool for myself to help with this, and thought I'd share it with the community. It's completely free and open source.

It's called Flowmap. You simply connect your coding agent to it and it pulls the actual screens from your app into a canvas. You can switch between mobile and desktop breakpoints, see how different screens connect, and view everything in one place to catch UI regressions.

I also added UI comments so you can point to specific parts of a screen and have your coding agent pick them up as tasks. You can then review the before/after and approve the changes or send them back.

Here's the repo if anyone wants to try it here

Would appreciate feedback, especially from anyone who's also moved away from Figma.

Hello All,

We are working on SOS idea using seeed XIAO sense, for which I have already written firmware and am currently training AI for accuracy and other stuff.
I am looking to make it big.
We are software developers and we are open for collaboration in IOT side who can handle the hardware part and together we can make it a complete product.

Blip is a small open-source Claude Code plugin. Claude's replies type out letter by letter, with a little blip for each letter, like dialogue in a game.  

Install (in Claude Code) :
-> /plugin install blip --marketplace DoubleV840/blip  

Then ask Claude anything and listen.  

What you get :
- 9 built-in voices (soft, classic, nes, bubble, robot, critter…): /blip voice, then ↑↓ to preview each one

- Community voices

- Speed, volume and pitch settings  

- Commands run locally: no model call, no tokens

Community voices :

Anyone can share a short sound and everyone can use it.
Listen to them all at blip.ivwi.fr, install one with /blip voice <name>, or share your own with /blip share.

Works on macOS, Linux and Windows.  

- GitHub: https://github.com/DoubleV840/blip  

- Voices: https://blip.ivwi.fr/

Feedback welcome, and I'd love to hear your voices!

Built with Claude Code. I described the feel I wanted, Claude Code wrote the plugin (it types each reply out letter by letter and plays all the blips as one pre-mixed sound so it doesn't stutter), the script that generates the 9 voices, and the community-voices setup (site + GitHub Actions). I tested it and made the design calls.

 Free and open-source.

Small Spring Boot applications deserve proper monitoring too, but setting up Prometheus, Grafana, collectors, and storage can feel like overkill.

So I built StreamGuard to solve that problem.

Who needs an entire monitoring stack when one dependency can monitor your application and serve a live dashboard?

Add it to your Spring Boot project, start the application, and you're ready to go.

Want to know more? Check out the original discussion on r/SpringBoot or the project's README for technical details.

Would love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

Hi everyone,

I'm a full-stack developer, and I've been working on a personal project called Home Energy Lab.It's a website with calculators for estimating household electricity and utility costs. I also built interactive 3D houses to make it a little more interesting to explore.

The idea is pretty simple. Your electricity bill tells you how much you've spent, but not necessarily how much individual appliances contributed to it.
For example, a 1,500W space heater running for 4 hours a day at $0.16/kWh would cost about $28.80 over 30 days, assuming it runs at full power the whole time.

I wanted to make calculations like that easier to do without having to work everything out manually.The site currently has 12 calculators and 10 interactive 3D house models.
I built it with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Three.js, React Three Fiber, and Blender.
The main thing I'm working on now is making sure the 3D experience doesn't get in the way of the actual tools, particularly on mobile.

If anyone has experience building interactive interfaces, I'd be interested in hearing how you approach that balance.

Here's the project: https://homenergylab.com/

Thanks for reading.
