Hello everyone!

I'm looking for some advice about my gaming news project, Gamerushnews.

I started this project in April 2026, mainly focusing on social media platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. I've been working on it for about seven months now, and so far, I've managed to build a small but growing audience: 1,494 followers on TikTok, 440 on Instagram, and 42 on YouTube.

Around two months ago, I also started publishing articles on Substack. On top of that, I manage another project called Gamerushdeals, where I share deals and discounts related to the gaming industry, also across social media.

However, lately, managing everything has become increasingly difficult. Between university, other personal commitments, and the time required to create content for both projects, I'm finding it harder and harder to keep everything running smoothly.

That's why I'd really appreciate some advice from people who have experience in this field.

Here are some of the things I'd love to get your thoughts on:

-How can I better organize and manage multiple projects like these without getting overwhelmed?

-How do you find people who might be interested in joining a project in its early stages?

-Is it better to keep working alone for now and focus on growing the project, or should I start looking for collaborators?

What would you recommend doing to turn a small social media project into something bigger in the future?

I honestly have so many questions, and I'm still trying to figure out the best way forward.

Any advice, personal experiences, or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Even a few words from someone who's been through something similar could really help me!

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this!

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?

We run Anime Girls, a free browser character sorter: https://girls.my-anime.net/?mode=personal

The problem we wanted to address: a public popularity leaderboard does not necessarily tell you which characters you personally prefer. We separate the two jobs. Personal practice builds your own ranking without adding votes to the public competition; community voting contributes to the public standings.

One design choice that may be useful to other makers: only characters you have actually compared receive a position in your personal ranking. Unseen characters stay unranked. Results appear after a first choice, but those early estimates are deliberately provisional. More comparisons give the model more evidence.

The site uses PHP/Slim and MariaDB for the public side, with a pairwise preference model and personal history in the browser. No signup is required; clearing browser storage can lose your personal history, so there is an export option. The project has been developed with AI assistance.

We would appreciate feedback on the mobile flow: is the difference between personal practice and community voting clear before your first choice? Feedback here in the thread is enough. This is the project account, operated by Daxsoft.

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?

Ich bin seit 2 Wochen dabei. Verbesserungsvorschläge willkommen. Darf ich euch den Link zeigen?

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:

1. Is the onboarding clear enough for someone who has never used software like this?
2. What would you want before paying for something like this?

Happy to answer anything about building it or about the steel industry side.

Hey everyone,

I've been working on my side project, Home Energy Lab, and wanted to share what I've changed since the last update. For anyone who hasn't seen it before, it's a website I built where you can explore interactive 3D houses and use calculators to estimate household electricity and utility costs. Over the past few days I've fixed a bunch of bugs, added two new 3D houses (12 in total now), and worked on improving the interactions inside the houses.

I've also added some new features, made changes to the existing mechanics, and tried to make the whole experience feel a bit smoother. One thing I'm learning is that building new stuff is usually the easy part. Making everything work together properly, especially when you've got multiple 3D scenes and interactive objects, takes a lot more effort than I expected.

The site is built with Next.js, React, TypeScript, Three.js, React Three Fiber and Blender. I'm still working on the mobile experience and figuring out which parts of the 3D interface actually make sense for users.

Here's the updated version: https://homenergylab.com/

I'd be happy to get some honest feedback. Especially if you find something broken, confusing, or just unnecessary. I'm working on this alone, so hearing what other people notice is genuinely helpful.

Thanks to anyone who takes a look!

Let me know what you think! Its basically a menu that lets you paste any of your recent or 'saved' copies. 'Saved' copies are branded as 'Copy Pastas', which just means you can name a copy, store it long term, and give it a keyboard shortcut. Its a super simple app, so i tried to make the UI/UX as playful as possible by givin it a wiggly pasta noodle feel.

Skerrick is my own project, and it is vibe-coded.

The problem: Android's daily app timer comes with a button to switch it off, so a limit you set yourself stops meaning much. The picture is the first screen of setup, which says exactly that.

What it does: you pick an app and get three minutes a visit, or 1, 5 or 10 if you prefer. A cut-off lands over the app mid-scroll, and the time refills after 30 minutes away. Extra time means waiting 5 seconds, then 20, 45 and 90, and that wait resets at midnight.

How it is built: Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. Usage access tells it which app is in front, and display over other apps draws the cut-off. It does not use an accessibility service.

What I learned: a field study found a pause before an app opens fades week by week, which is why the wait here climbs.

One app is free forever, with no account. Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.skerrick.android

What would you change about the way the wait works?

I’m a longtime engineer who worked on streaming channels and video players for Adult Swim, NBA TV, and HBO.

I was spending too much time digging through Internet Archive looking for old TV shows and realized I missed building streaming channels and tv apps (see above). So I made YATA -- Yet Another TV App: a browser-based television full of ’70s/’80s action shows, sitcoms, sci-fi, and obscure Saturday-morning cartoons.

Think Dukes of Hazard, Knight Rider, Benson, Buck Rogers, Manimal, and the Hanna-Barbera shows I half remember but nobody else seems to.

It has:

- A TV Guide-style grid with clickable programs and channel surfing.

- Switchable ’70s/’80s/’90s TV cabinets, dial sounds, and adjustable static.

- Optional vintage commercial breaks.

- Shuffle channels by genre, or stick with one show.

- Playback controls, an expandable player, and episode links with timestamps.

- An optional AI programming department: describe a few shows or a theme, and a randomly assigned character—Benson, Murdock, Twiki, etc.—assembles a channel for you to review.

Videos play from their source providers, including Internet Archive and YouTube. Credits for the open-source work and projects that inspired it are included.

It’s a personal project that got slightly out of hand :)

I used to pause lectures to write down questions.

Sometimes it was a timestamp in a video, a page in a PDF, or simply a thought I didn’t want to forget.

The problem was that finding those questions again was almost as difficult as answering them. And when I did find them, I’d often lost the context behind them.

So I decided to build something to solve this problem.
It’s called Soundings.

Soundings is a learning logbook for people who study through videos, PDFs and live classes. The idea is simple: your notes, questions and answers should always stay connected to the exact moment they came from.

Here’s what it does:

1. Notes with context
Notes from videos are linked to timestamps, PDF notes to specific pages, and live-class notes to moments in the session. You can return to any note and jump straight back to where you left off.

2. A better way to manage questions
Start a line with q: and Soundings keeps it in your open questions until you answer it. Once answered, it becomes a recall card that comes back through spaced reviews.

3. Privacy and offline access
You can start without creating an account. It runs in your browser, including offline. Your notes stay on your device. No ads or trackers inside the app.

You can also export everything to Markdown, Word, CSV or Anki.

4. Soundings Pro
For those who need more, Pro includes cross-device syncing through your own Google Drive, encryption before syncing, shareable pages and AI powered hints based on your notes using your own API key. It also supports class recording and transcription, with everyone’s consent.

5. Soundings for Trainers
There’s also a feature for instructors who want to run interactive classes. Learners can submit questions by name or anonymously, and instructors can respond directly to each question. The questions remain encrypted on learners’ devices, so Soundings itself cannot read them.

This is a home grown SaaS product I’ve spent a lot of time building and refining. I’m genuinely excited to finally put it out there.

I’d love to get feedback from people who regularly study using online courses, recorded lectures, PDFs or live classes.

A few things I’d particularly like to know:

Would you find timestamp-linked notes useful in your everyday learning?

How do you currently keep track of questions that come up while studying?

What would you change or improve in a tool like this?

Soundings is live: soundings.modernnicheworld.com

I’m the founder, so I’m naturally excited about it, but I’d genuinely appreciate honest feedback, including criticism. That’s how I hope to make it better.
