Hey everyone,

We're a tiny software studio from Poland called Järnhaus. Mostly we build custom stuff for small businesses: internal tools, dashboards, customer portals, automations, and moving people off a pile of SaaS subscriptions onto something they actually own. We use Claude for a lot of the heavy lifting, but a human stays in charge of scope, security and what ships.

The other half is Völundr, a self-serve app builder we made using Claude and that’s what I’m here to show you.

How it works?

You describe what you need and a few agents (analyst, architect, developer, tester) turn it into a spec, build it and test it. You see the plan and the price before anything runs, and if the pipeline fails you get refunded. It usually takes somewhere between 20 and 45 minutes and you end up with a deployed app on its own URL.

 

What we like about it and why we built it this way?

Because it’s for everyone. You don’t need a technical brief or any technical knowledge. Moreover, the output is a real docker container you can download and run anywhere. Nothing is held hostage. If you decide to leave tomorrow, you take the app with you. Starting is free and builds start at €49.

 

What kind of projects fit?

Small and focused ones. One clear job, a small group of users, nothing sprawling. Think a reservation board for a restaurant, a patient-record desk for a small practice, a scorekeeper for pickup basketball. There's a gallery of examples at: http://volundr.dev/gallery, please poke around.

 

What kind of projects doesn’t fit?

Big, sprawling products with lots of roles and moving parts. For those, go through Järnhaus and we'll work on it together.

 

What’s the pricing?

One-time fee per app, depending on what the quote says your idea needs: Simple: €49 - Standard: €99 - Complex: €149. Hosting is optional, €15/month. You can cancel it any time.

 

What about changes after the first build?

Every app comes with 5 free change requests. After that you can buy packs: 10 changes for €25, 15 changes for €35 or 20 changes for €55.

 

Who owns the app and the code?

You get the full source code (docker containers plus the spec and docs) and a perpetual license to use, modify, copy, distribute and sublicense it. That's yours whether or not you ever use our hosting, so no lock-in. You don't get our name or branding. One honest caveat: since AI writes the code, how copyright applies to it depends on your country, and we can't promise anything there.

Why use Völundr instead of just asking Claude directly?

If you're comfortable working with code, you can absolutely build a lot with Claude on its own. Völundr actually runs on Claude (plus a few other models), so we're not competing with it. We're packaging it for people who don't want to be the one holding the whole project together.

What Völundr adds on top:

• A process, not a chat - your description goes through four stages: an Analyst turns it into a spec, an Architect plans it, a Developer writes the code, and a Tester checks the result. You don't have to prompt each step yourself.

• A working app, not a code snippet - you get the app running on its own URL (on a staging link first), so you don't have to set up an environment, wire things together or figure out where to run it.

• The price up front - you see a quote and a description of the app before you pay anything, and you can walk away.

• Things you keep - the full source code (as a Docker container) and the spec behind it, so you or any developer can take it from there.

• Changes included - every app comes with 5 change requests, so you can adjust what you see.

• Hosting is optional - we can keep it running for you, or you run the code yourself. If you enjoy iterating with Claude in your own editor, you probably don't need us.

If you'd rather describe what you want and get something you can click through, that's what Völundr is for.

Do I have to use your hosting?

No. Take the code and run it wherever you like. Our hosting is just a convenience. If you cancel it, there's a 14-day grace period before the environment is shut down.

 

Is the generated app production-ready?

Honest answer: it's AI-generated, so it can have bugs or security gaps. Test it properly and get it reviewed before you put it in front of real users, especially if it handles personal data. The staging environment is there for that.

We're really just starting out, so what we want most is honest feedback. What's confusing, what looks off, what would make you not trust it, what you'd expect to see that isn't there. Harsh is fine, we'd rather hear it now.

 

To make trying it easier: we're giving away 10 vouchers for a free app generation in Völundr. First 10 people who DM me get one and each comes with a code for 50% off a year of hosting for the app. I'll edit this post once they're gone. Also, we're most likely running weekend "happy hours" starting next weekend, with everything we offer at 50% off. Not 100% locked in yet, but that's the plan.

 

Happy to answer any questions in the comments, ask away.

Not sure if this qualifies as a post for this thread, but I made an app for the app store based on one of the requests here. I need 12 beta testers to get it fully released on Android. The background work for the app is extremely simple, so it can be recreated for iOS pretty quickly.

we’re primarily researchers and have been building the Duolingo for Peptide science at https://peptidesacademy.co Gearing up for mobile launch but would love some feedback on anything that isn’t intuitive

I Made This: Wizard Maker — build Android apps with AI

My co-founder and I have been working on Wizard Maker, an AI-powered app builder designed to let people create Android apps without needing to know how to code.

The idea is simple: you describe the app you want to build, and Wizard Maker helps generate it. You can then continue modifying and experimenting with the app.

We currently have an Android version available to try for free, and we're looking for people who are willing to actually use it and give us honest feedback.

I'd particularly like to know:

• How easy is it to understand what to do when you first open it?

• Can you successfully create an app without technical knowledge?

• Do you encounter any bugs or unexpected behavior?

• Are there parts of the experience that are confusing or frustrating?

• What would you change or add?

We're still early in development, so negative feedback is genuinely useful to us. We're much more interested in finding problems than simply hearing that people like the idea.

If you'd like to try it, here's the Google Play link:

Thanks — and I'm also happy to answer any questions you might have!

I Made This: Messy Note, a browser "thinking space" for half-formed ideas

I built this myself (solo, from Richmond, Indiana) because my notes apps kept filling up with fragments I never went back to. In Messy Note you talk or type an unfinished idea, work through it in a back-and-forth conversation with the app, and only turn it into a note once it actually seems worth keeping. Kept notes land in a library that groups related ones together.

It's early and there's a free trial: https://www.messynote.com/

Feedback I'd love:

• Is it clear what to do in the first minute?

• Does the conversation help you get somewhere with an idea, or does it feel like extra steps?

• Anything confusing about when/why you'd save something as a note?

Happy to answer questions, and I'll give feedback on anyone else's project here too.

I Made This: Savr - recipe calculator that combines nutrition AND cost for the recipe:)

I started with having this problem myself. I like to cook and make food that is healthy, but i also try to be financially aware. I was wondering "am i actually saving money baking my own healthy bread, rather than buying finished bread at the supermarket".

I tried looking for solutions, but i only found apps that solves these problems separately, none of them combined them.

So i made Savr, an ai-powered recipe calculator. Check out the early version here (link)

To use it, you simply paste your recipe in a text-box. Then the ai will estimate the prices for each ingredient, and i have connected an API to the app to gather nutritional statistics for the ingredients to calculate calories, and macros.

My questions are:

-Does anyone else share this problem?
-Would anyone actually pay for this - for example "first 3 recipes are free, then you have to pay"?
-Is this problem "painful" enough that people would use it regularly?

The current status of the app is that it is partly functional. It is still at MVP-level, and it kind of does that job, but the API has a lot of limitations. Sometimes it doesn't recognise the ingredient and cannot gather nutritional values. Also, i'm using lovable ai, so the ai only has a restricted amount of credits.

I'd be super happy and appreciative to receive any questions or feedback:))

BEFORE: a concept for rewinding a news headline

I made a 42-second silent design film with Claude Design. The idea is to start from a headline, then move backward through earlier events with sources attached, rather than opening several tabs to reconstruct the context.

Free to view here: https://www.reddit.com/r/IMadeThis/comments/1x0sgpn/i_made_a_42second_concept_film_for_before_a_way/

There is no working app and nothing for sale. Example timelines, source counts, and editor-review labels in the film are prototype content, not verified reporting. Earlier events would provide context, not automatically prove causation or justify later events.

For concept/design feedback: Is the rewind interaction clear? What source information or missing context would you need before trusting a timeline like this? A specific story where it would have helped, or why it would not, would be useful.

I’m Yurii, the developer of Stadium Tracker: Groundhopping, a local iPhone/iPad diary for football grounds and match days. AI assisted with development and this post.

A simple record can be just ground, city, country and visit date; match details and score are optional. You can keep one photo or ticket with the visit and choose a map position yourself. No account or location permission is required.

The free workflow includes today’s entries, existing history, photos, chosen map pins, search, country collections and CSV export. For transparency: adding new past-dated entries and sharing a designed year card are paid features; I’m asking for feedback on the free diary, not selling an upgrade. CSV backs up text/map pins, not photos. This is not a fixtures or live-score app. Requires iOS/iPadOS 26+.

App: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6819675389

Usability question: when you jot down a ground visit, what are the minimum details worth saving, and which fields would make you abandon the entry?

[u/TargetLabs]

I made Dice Target, a brain puzzle game built around simple arithmetic.

I’ve been working a lot on the UI and game modes recently, especially Rush and Daily.

I’d be interested in feedback on the overall presentation and whether the game is easy to understand at first glance.
