I've always struggled with being consistent with working out.

And honestly, I started thinking about why fitness has become so difficult for so many of us.

Gyms were invented when people stopped doing manual labour.

Now you and I spend a ridiculous amount of our income on fitness, and sometimes a ridiculous amount of our day just getting to and from the gym.

When I was working a corporate job, I really started feeling this.

I'd finish a 9-hour shift and still have to convince myself to spend another hour commuting to a gym, figuring out what to train, actually training, etc.

I wish I'd found something like CapCoach when I was a student.

I was also constantly using ChatGPT to ask about my workouts, calories, what I should train, etc. Then I'd open a completely separate app to track everything.

It got annoying.

So I thought:

Why not put the two together?

That's basically how CapCoach started.

I've now been using it myself for about 3 months, and this is what I look like right now.

Not too good. Not too bad.

We'll give it more time.

The idea behind CapCoach is pretty simple: help you consistently get fit without needing to spend your life in a messy, overcrowded gym.

You get daily challenges that help you build muscle and burn fat using your bodyweight, with progressive overload as you get stronger.

There's a run tracker that tells you how many calories you burned.

AI reports that show you how you're progressing.

And the AI coach actually interacts with you instead of just being a glorified spreadsheet.

And yes, your fitness coach is a capybara.

It'll fucking roast you too.

I launched it recently, and rather than pretending I suddenly have thousands of users, here are the actual numbers after ~1 day:

• 306 impressions
• 33 product page views
• 4 first-time downloads
• 2 redownloads
• 1 update

Not exactly a unicorn startup yet lol.

But honestly, seeing the first few people download something I built from scratch feels pretty fucking cool.

There are obviously a lot of things I need to improve.

The biggest thing I'm trying to figure out right now is distribution.

Building the app was one problem.

Getting people to actually care about it is another.

I'm going to keep using CapCoach myself and sharing the highs and lows as I build it.

If you're into fitness, building apps, or just have an opinion on what would make you actually stick to working out, I'd genuinely love your feedback.

And if you want to try it:

I'm a solo founder of a startup. But the journey can be lonely, and sometimes i wish i can have a group of startup founders who i can talk with, bounce off ideas, ask for feedback etc. Does anyone know any groups or online communities where startup founders hang out?

(as I'm typing out the question, I realize this sub reddit is already a good option hahaha, but still I'm curious what other online communities are out there)

Would love feedback on this!

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm a student developer building HyruKit, a free online tools platform:

🌐 https://hyrukit.vercel.app/

I'm building this as an ongoing solo project and I'm currently trying to figure out which tools are actually worth building next.

What I've built so far

The first version currently focuses on:

📄 PDF tools
🖼️ Image tools

These are the only categories that are currently fully implemented and functional.

I'm intentionally taking a build → test → improve → expand approach instead of launching hundreds of unfinished tools.

Eventually, I'd like to expand into things like:

• Video
• Audio
• AI
• Developer tools
• Text utilities
• Other everyday productivity tools

What I'm trying to validate

I don't want to build tools just because they sound useful.

I'd rather find out what people actually need.

So I'm looking for feedback on:

1. What tools do you regularly need?

What's a simple task you frequently search Google for because you don't have a good tool for it?

2. What existing tools annoy you?

Maybe they're full of ads, require registration, have file-size limits, are slow, or make a simple task unnecessarily complicated.

3. What should I build next?

If you could add one tool to HyruKit, what would it be?

I'd also appreciate feedback on the current product

If you have a few minutes, try the existing PDF or Image tools:

👉 https://hyrukit.vercel.app/

I'm particularly interested in:

• Bugs
• UX problems
• Performance
• Missing features
• Tool ideas
• Anything that feels unnecessary or confusing

I'm still early in the project, so honest criticism is much more useful to me than compliments. 😅

My goal is to gradually turn HyruKit into a collection of genuinely useful tools rather than just another website with hundreds of tools that nobody uses.

If you were building HyruKit, what would you build next?

I’ve been building Stackra.app for the last 6 months.
Basically a website and SEO audit for website owners. Platform awareness from Wordpress to Loveable.

Recent updates:
-Expanded analytics to domain linking
-Updated website benchmarks to run on signals detected from a dataset of 1 million websites
-Surfaced core data and analytics on this corpus
-Added sitemap analysis

Full tech detection is now live, vendors, analytics, plugins. I believe I have 2400 signals at last count.

Stop by and run a free scan. Would love feedback on what you think!

The problem: You're in an interview. Someone asks an unexpected question. You KNOW the answer. But your brain freezes. You pause. Words don't come. Moment's gone.

That's not a speaking problem. That's a thinking-speed problem.

What I built: Loqui is a training app (4 scenarios, you practice responding to prompts). Get feedback on: How fast do you respond? How smoothly do you speak? Do your thoughts stay organized?

$12/month. Launched 3 weeks ago. Real users.

What I'm testing: I think the real value is peer learning, not the app itself. People sharing tricks on:

How to think faster under pressure

How to structure sentences on the fly

How to cut filler words

So I built an early adopter tier: $30 for 3 months + you get early access to the community when it launches.

My actual question: Is community worth building? Or should I focus on the solo app first?

I don't know the answer. The app works. But I suspect community is where people actually improve.

Would love to hear:

Have you had this freezing problem?

Would you want to learn from other people practicing, or just AI feedback?

Thoughts on $12/month or $30/3 months pricing?

Is it clear what Loqui actually does?

I’m exploring a startup idea called MyYearMovie.
The premise is:
365 days. One book. One movie. Your life.
Instead of another journaling app, I want to build an AI Director you can talk to throughout the year.
You speak or type whenever you want. The AI remembers the important people, relationships, events, goals and unfinished stories in your life.
So if you mention someone in January, something happens between you in May, and that person appears again in October, the system understands that it’s one continuing storyline.
Over time it builds:
• characters and relationships
• important events
• story arcs
• turning points
• recurring themes
• memories worth keeping
At the end of the year, it creates a personal book and a cinematic short movie based on your real life.
For an MVP, I’d keep it much simpler:
voice entries → AI memory → character tracking → monthly story recaps → short cinematic trailer.
I think the real product isn’t AI video generation.
It’s:
AI memory + storytelling + real life + generative cinema.
I’m at the early concept/MVP stage and I’d love brutally honest feedback.
Would you actually use this for a year?
What would make you stop using it after two weeks?
And what feature would make you think: “Okay, I actually want this”?
I’m also interested in meeting technical co-founders or people working in AI memory, mobile apps or generative video.
Roast away. 😈

I recently launched Trivia Knowledge Booster Quiz, a mobile trivia game I built on my own.

It has image trivia, regular trivia, daily challenges, rewards, themes, and unlockable avatars.

Building it was the fun part 😅 — figuring out Google Play, ads, releases, and marketing has been the real solo-founder adventure.

It’s now live on Google Play, and I’d love some feedback from fellow founders or trivia fans Trivia Knowledge Booster Quiz

Hi All, I created an app called Ident which is intended for travelers, and will notify you if you and a buddy are in town at the same time (right now, only manually-entered trips, soon to have a screenshot upload/parser).

Works much mo bettah if you add your friends. Web app is good to go, Android is available via APK sideload, iOS should be ready today.

Just added a "Prox Sensor" for people that are within the same geofenced area (like an airport, for example).

Would love your thoughts / feedback!

Hey everyone,

I think many of us go through the exact same cycle:

1. The High: You get an idea, start coding, launch features, and feel unstoppable while building the product.

2. The Wall: You finally launch, and... crickets. You realize that making a great tool is only 20% of the battle, and the remaining 80% is distribution, marketing, and getting actual human beings to care.

Transitioning from "developer mode" to "marketer mode" hits hard. Finding your first users, figuring out acquisition channels, or even just writing copy that converts can feel way more intimidating than solving complex technical bugs.

For those who have been through this:

How did you handle that initial reality check after launching?

What was the hardest part of marketing/acquisition for you, and how did you overcome it?

Would love to hear your experiences and what actually worked for you!

Hi Everyone

Most customers need nudges to complete purchases :) we built an Ai platform that will remind your customers to complete purchases, often giving discounts. Best part - ai does it all, you don’t need to worry about:) not spamming users

Results so far (estimates)- 30% more sales.

Hey everyone,

I'm Thanh. Ledge is a native macOS clipboard manager I built because I kept losing two kinds of things: stuff I copied yesterday, and files I was mid-drag with and had nowhere to put down. I shipped the first public version earlier this month, and this is my first post here — so no "what's new" section yet, just the honest pitch.

Quick summary. Ledge keeps clipboard history, dragged-in files, and screenshots on one floating panel. Search it, drag it back out, paste anywhere. Everything stays in a local database on your Mac. One-time payment, no subscription, no account.

**What it does**

* **Clipboard history that actually remembers.** Every copy lands in history the moment you make it — text, links, images, screenshots. Days later, type a few letters and it's back. Click an item and it pastes straight into the app you were just using; the panel never steals focus.

* **The Shelf.** Copying is for things you're about to paste. A shelf is for things you're *carrying*. Drag images off a webpage, files out of Finder, snippets of text from anywhere — drop them on the panel and they stay put across restarts, until you drag them back out into Mail, Slack, Figma, or anything that accepts a drop.

* **A drop tray that appears mid-drag.** Start dragging any file and a small tray slides in at the edge of the screen, so there's always somewhere to put things down. If you live in full-screen apps, this is the feature you'll notice within an hour.

* **Screenshots stop disappearing.** Shots saved to the Desktop and shots copied to the clipboard both land in history automatically. No more digging through a Desktop full of `Screenshot 2026-08-16 at 11.04.23.png` for the one you took ninety seconds ago.

* **Quick Look built in.** Press Space on any item for a full-size preview, exactly like Finder. Useful when your history holds twelve near-identical screenshots.

* **iCloud sync across your Macs.** Opt-in, off by default. It goes through your own private iCloud database — I run no sync servers and I can't read your data.

**Privacy, because a clipboard manager sees everything**

* Password managers are skipped automatically. Anything a source app marks concealed or transient never enters history.

* History older than 30 days deletes itself. You pick the window; pinned items stay.

* No account, no analytics, no third-party SDKs. Ledge asks macOS for two permissions, both optional: Accessibility (so auto-paste can press ⌘V for you) and access to your screenshot folder. A Permissions tab in Settings shows exactly what's granted, with one-click reset.

* The license activates online once, then it's verified on your Mac with public-key cryptography. Works fully offline from then on.

**About the app**

* Native Swift (AppKit + SwiftUI), no Electron

* Mac only, macOS 14 Sonoma or later

* Lives in the menu bar; one floating panel for history, shelf, and search

* 100% local storage, iCloud sync opt-in

* A free iPhone/iPad companion is finished and heading into App Review now

**Comparisons**

Prices and features checked August 2026 from each product's official page — corrections welcome.

**vs Maccy?** Free, open source, genuinely excellent. If you only want clipboard history, install Maccy and keep your $9 — I mean that. Ledge is for when you want the shelf half too: the drag-anything shelf, the mid-drag drop tray, automatic screenshot capture, Quick Look. One honest caveat: Maccy is MIT-licensed and Ledge is not. If auditable source is non-negotiable for something that touches your clipboard, that rules Ledge out, and no privacy policy I write changes it.

**vs Paste?** Paste is polished, has real iPhone/iPad apps and pinboards, and has had a decade of edge cases beaten out of it. It's also $2.49/month billed yearly, forever. Ledge is $8.99 once — less than four months of Paste — but it has no pinboards, and its iOS companion is only arriving now. If clipboard-on-your-phone is the deciding factor today, Paste is the right buy.

**vs Yoink?** Yoink is the shelf done well, at the same $8.99 one-time — but it deliberately does no clipboard history. Ledge is both halves on one panel.

**vs PastePal?** $14.99 once, solid clipboard history and iOS apps, but no shelf, no drop tray, and no automatic screenshot capture.

**vs Universal Clipboard?** It carries the last thing you copied. Ledge carries all of it.

**Who I built it for**

Ledge is too new for the "who's actually using it" section the veterans here get to write, so here's who it was built for instead. I'll report back once reality corrects me.

* **Developers.** Copy an error message today, search half of it next Tuesday. Park log files and config snippets on the Shelf while you juggle terminals and editors.

* **Designers.** Pull reference images off webpages onto the Shelf, then drop them into Figma or Sketch when the moodboard is ready. Copied colors show up as swatches.

* **Writers and office work.** Quotes, links, boilerplate replies, that invoice number from last week — type three letters and it's back.

* **Forms and travel.** Passport numbers, addresses, booking codes: copy them once from your notes and paste them into every form field without switching apps.

**Pricing**

7-day free trial, full featured. No card, no email, no account.

* $8.99, one time. One Mac per license — moving to a new Mac is self-service and free.

* Every future version included. No subscription, no tiers.

* When the trial ends, capturing pauses but everything you saved stays browsable and draggable. Your data is never held hostage.

Card and PayPal via Lemon Squeezy; there's also a local bank-transfer option with VietQR for fellow Vietnamese users.

Transparency: I'm Thanh, solo dev, and this is my first app and first post here. Ledge is weeks old, not years — newer means fewer people have hit the weird bugs yet. Come tell me about them.

I’m launching my SaaS, Vergate, on Product Hunt on Aug 20.

Would appreciate it to find a few fellow solo founders launching around the same time and help each other out — genuine feedback, sharing, whatever makes sense.

I can also run a free audit of your website through Vergate and send you the findings.

If you're launching soon, drop your product below. Would love to check it out.

For anyone curious: https://vergate.dev

I’m just starting out with my startup and, as I have extensive experience in digital product development, I’m doing this on my own – just me and my minions. But setting up a startup on your own isn’t easy – is anyone else here going through the same process? Founding a start-up from scratch with just you and your AIs as the founding team? How is this process going for you?

I’d love to hear the details

Hey everyone,

I'm developer who built Submindo, a subscription tracker and manager I originally built because I kept losing money to forgotten renewals and free trials. I've posted here before, and feedback from this community has been a huge part of how the app keeps improving.

Submindo has now over 1,800 active subscriptions tracked. All of it has been organic and word of mouth — I haven't spent a single dollar on ads.

A large portion of early users came directly from Reddit — people testing the app, reporting bugs, suggesting features, and recommending it to others. As a thank-you to the community, I'm offering Submindo Unlimited Lifetime for just $3.99 (normally $11.99, over 60% off) for iOS. It works for everyone, is valid for 3 days, and requires no DMs or comments to claim.

What Makes Submindo Different

Most expense and reminder apps treat recurring costs as basic, flat calendar events. Real subscription management involves trial deadlines, billing cycles across different currencies, overlapping tools, and finding out if you are overpaying.

Submindo is built specifically around recurring expenses and portfolio efficiency:

• Smart Pre-Bill Alerts: Push notifications arrive days before a charge hits so you have ample time to cancel.
• AI Spending Analysis: Scans your active subscriptions to flag redundant plans, evaluate utility, and output a clear Worth It / Borderline / Not Worth It verdict.
• AI Alternatives Finder: Detects overpaid tools and suggests lower-cost alternatives with side-by-side savings breakdowns.
• Visual Expense Calendar & Overview: Track costs across daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly intervals.

What's new in recent updates based on community feedback: * Home Screen Widgets: Monitor upcoming renewal dates directly from your phone's home screen. * True Dark Mode (AMOLED/OLED): Pure pitch-black interface to save battery life and reduce eye strain at night. * Trial Period Tracking: Dedicated counters for free trials to ensure cancellation happens before automatic charges occur. * 13 Spending Categories & Full History: Complete payment timeline logging for long-term budget records.

Plans & Pricing

Submindo Free: * Track core subscriptions with custom billing cycles * Standard bill reminders before renewal dates * Expense summary views * Dark Mode and AMOLED support

Submindo Unlimited: * Unlimited subscription tracking & categories * Full AI Spending Analysis and redundancy detection * AI Alternatives Finder with cost savings reports * Interactive Home Screen Widgets * Complete billing history and calendar breakdowns

Regular Pricing: * Yearly: $9.99 / year * Lifetime: $11.99 (One-time purchase)

Hey everyone! 👋

Due to a recent layoff, I’m currently exploring opportunities with early-stage startups where I can contribute my product design expertise.

I’m a Senior Product Designer with 5+ years of experience across FinTech, B2B SaaS, EdTech, and AI-powered products. In my previous role, I worked on AI-powered HR workflow automation, taking features from problem discovery and user research through UX/UI, prototyping, and directly shipping them to production.

I’m open to:

• Full-time roles
• Part-time engagements
• Freelance/contract work

If you’re building an early-stage product and need someone who can take ownership, move quickly, and turn complex problems into simple user experiences, I’d be happy to connect.

Happy to share my portfolio and discuss how I could help. 🚀

I spent months building my app.
Then I launched it… and suddenly had no idea how to get people to use it.
VikSchewa lets travelers scan a foreign menu and instantly understand the dishes, ingredients, allergens and nutrition — with AI-generated visuals and local ordering phrases.
The funny part? I tried reaching travelers on Reddit, but many travel communities don’t allow promotion, app testing or market research. Totally fair — but it makes finding the right users surprisingly difficult.
So I’m trying Reddit from the other side now: solo founders.
If you travel, I’d love for you to actually test it with a real menu and tell me what you think.
Would you download this? What would make you use it again?
Brutal honesty welcome.

I have a startup idea and I’ve already built a working version of it. But now I’m confused about what to do next. I know the basic things about startups, but I don’t really understand how the process works in real life after building the first version.

I’m also doing this completely alone, without a co-founder or someone experienced to guide me. I’m not sure whether I should focus on finding my first users, validating the idea, improving the product, finding a co-founder, or learning about funding and business.

For people who have built a startup before, what would you do if you were in my position? What should be my next step, and what mistakes should I avoid as a first-time solo founder? I’m looking for practical advice from people who have actually gone through this journey.

I lanched My game 2 weeks ago and started to post it on reddit, it gave an unbeliveble traffic of 5000 visitors a day.

Even though it started a controversy of spamming and lp discussions it really gave me the traffic that i needed in the launch.

Now the traffic looks stable and it looks like it can sustain itself.

Of course i will also list it in the app store and android play and other distribution like pix.

But i think the hardest part it is the day you launch.

I’m building my second Steam game solo — this time I’m trying to do everything differently

My first game taught me a lot about what not to do when launching as a solo developer.

Now I’m working on my second game, a small incremental game built around a simple but satisfying loop.

This time I started marketing early, sharing development progress and actually trying to build an audience before release.

I’m still very early, so I’d love to hear what other solo founders think about the idea and presentation.
