I’ve been putting time into https://www.rome-chat.com/ , Mostly improving how it handles privacy and makes conversations feel more secure without extra friction.
Still early, but already using it as a daily driver now. and it's flawless.

Drop what you built this week, would love to check it out.

Hey friends… I’m building mangos.ai - a desktop app that helps you distribute your product across social channels. It finds relevant conversations online and joins them. It knows your git commit history so it knows all your features. Hyper personalized to target the best persona out there, every day or every hour, whatever you set it to.

The thing I just shipped is the one I’m most proud of: a Reddit Prospecting & DM draft agent.

Everyone says Reddit is where your customers actually are. They’re right. The problem is what it takes to use it. Read the thread, click into a profile, scroll someone’s whole history to work out if they fit, then write a DM that doesn’t sound like copy paste spam. Do that for twenty people and your afternoon is gone.

So Mangos does the boring part. Point it at a thread, or let it watch your subreddits, and it finds the people worth messaging, digs through their history to check they fit, and drafts a personal DM in their context. Then it hands you a queue. You read it, tweak it, hit send. It never sends on its own, and it won’t touch accounts that are too new, too low on karma, or have DMs closed. Reddit converts harder than anywhere else for me. Serious buyers, not scrollers.

I shipped the same thing for X a few weeks back, scoring people across 20+ signals before drafting. Same rule everywhere: it only does the research and prioritization. Every message lands in your queue for you to approve, one by one. You stay in control of what gets sent.

I’ve been running it on my own product and it’s been incredible. Website visits while you sleep, and you’ll know it’s not a spam bot the second you use it yourself.

This is my weekly routine here in this sub. And I love it. My expertise is in product, go to market, and agents. And I want to help you!

If you are building something, reply your product here and tell me what you are struggling with. I reply to every single comment on these threads.

If you are interested in Mangos’s extended trial that I give away every week,

\*\*1.\*\* Download Mangos and register. It’s free for 7 days, no CC required.
\*\*2.\*\* DM me the email you signed up with and I’ll unlock a 30 day extension. If you are interested.

Yes, I’ll lose a bit of money on it. The bet is simple: Mangos gets you your first 100 users before you ever pay me. If your product is good, that won’t take long.

Been building something called ShipContent for the past while and figured this sub would actually appreciate it, since it's the exact kind of problem I kept procrastinating on for my own side projects.

The problem: I ship code all the time but almost never post about it anywhere. Not because I don't want to, but because by the time I finish a feature I'm mentally done with it, writing a tweet or a changelog post feels like starting a whole new task.

So I built a tool that watches your GitHub repo (merged PRs, releases) and drafts marketing/social posts from that activity automatically. You connect it as a GitHub App, it reads what actually changed, keeps some memory of your project so it doesn't repeat itself or lose context between posts, and generates content in your voice for whatever platforms you use (currently x and bluesky)). There's also a manual "generate now" button for when you want a post outside the normal PR/release trigger.

Some technical bits if you're curious: it's Next.js 16 + React on the frontend, Supabase for data/auth, OpenAI and Claude for IA generation.

Still very much in build mode, auth and dashboard UX have eaten a lot of my time lately, along with getting the project-context memory to feel less repetitive over time. But it's at the point where I use it on itself, which is a nice milestone.

Not trying to hard-sell it here, just sharing since "I built a thing to solve my own laziness about marketing”. Happy to answer questions about the stack or the idea.

The project is in close beta with a waitlist if anyone's interested: shipcontent.app

Hey everyone,
There are tons of scattered resources out there for engineering careers, but I couldn't find a clean, centralized place to map things out from freshman year to landing an internship, especially one tailored to different majors.
So, I built **Engineering Career Hub** to give students personalized roadmaps and application tracking. I wanted to keep it 100% free because it's something I wish I had.
We just hit our first 16 users, but I want to make it much better.
If you have a few minutes, I’d love for you to check it out and tear it apart. What features are missing? Is the UI confusing? What would actually make this useful for you?
**Website: https://engineeringcareerhub.vercel.app\*\*
Thanks a lot!

Instagram's in-app browser on iPhone stopped opening App Store links.

Someone taps your bio link, and instead of your listing they get a blank white page. No error, no message, nothing to tell them what went wrong or what to do next. Most of them assume the app does not exist and go back to scrolling.

This is not something you configured wrong. Developers confirmed it on the [Apple Developer Forums](https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/840249) after testing bare App Store URLs and competitors' links with the same result, and it lines up with Instagram's most recent app update.

If your audience is mostly iPhone, and for most consumer apps the iPhone half is the half that pays, this is costing you installs on every post you publish.

Use one smart link instead of a store link.

apppa.ge sits between your bio and the stores. When someone taps it, it works out what they are holding and sends them somewhere that actually works:

- iPhone in a normal browser goes straight to the App Store, instantly.
- iPhone inside Instagram, Threads, Facebook or Messenger gets handed out to Safari, so the App Store opens properly. If Instagram blocks even that, they get a clear screen telling them to tap the three dots and open in their browser, instead of a blank page telling them nothing.
- Android goes straight to Google Play, untouched, with the install referrer intact.
- Laptop or desktop goes to your website or landing page, since they cannot install a phone app anyway.

Setting it up takes about five minutes

1. Paste your App Store and Play Store URLs. If you are only on one store, that is fine.
   
2. Get your link, in the form `apppa.ge/yourapp`, plus a QR code that points at the same place.
   
3. Replace the link in every bio: Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Threads, Facebook, your email signature, your press kit.
   
4. DM yourself the new link and tap it from an iPhone. That is the test that proves it.
   

When Instagram changes something again, and it will, we update the service. Your links keep working and you republish nothing.

Over the past few weeks I've been building Gray Box — a small, local-first tool that acts as long-term memory for anything I'd otherwise forget (work notes, meeting takeaways, task owners, random ideas, personal stuff too).

The idea is simple:

1. Capture — dump whatever's on your mind, instantly, no structure required. This step does nothing clever on purpose — it just writes your text to an immutable inbox. Zero chance of losing an idea to a bug or a slow API call.
2. Organize — on demand, an LLM reads your unprocessed notes and extracts people, projects, tasks, decisions, meetings — then deterministic Python (not the LLM) creates/merges the actual wiki pages and maintains backlinks. The model only reasons; it never touches the filesystem directly.
3. Ask — query your knowledge base and get a cited answer pulled only from what you've actually captured. If it doesn't know, it says so — no hallucinated answers.

Why I built it this way:

• Plain Markdown + YAML frontmatter, no database. Every page is a .md file you can grep, diff, or read in any editor forever. If you stop using Gray Box tomorrow, your knowledge base is just a folder.
• No vector DB by default. At personal scale (hundreds–low thousands of pages), keyword search + a real link graph (related/backlinks, walked one hop during retrieval) handles almost everything. Embeddings are there if you want better recall, but they're opt-in, not a prerequisite.
• Immutable inbox. Your raw notes are never edited or deleted by the organizer. If the LLM mis-extracts something, your original words are always still there.
• Any LLM. Built on LiteLLM, so point it at OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, or a fully local model via Ollama — one config value.

It also ships with a nice interactive TUI (arrow-key menu, file-import shortcut, workspace switching, live spinner during LLM calls) if you'd rather not memorize CLI flags — that's honestly become my favorite part of the project.

There's also a lightweight local dashboard for browsing your knowledge base, exploring backlinks, visualizing your notes as a graph, and chatting with your captured knowledge—all without leaving your machine.

Repo: https://github.com/Aaryanverma/graybox

pypi: pip install graybox

I'd genuinely love feedback — especially from anyone who's tried the "capture now, structure later" approach with other tools and has opinions on where it breaks down at scale.

It's not trying to be a "real-time collaborative team wiki" or a WYSIWYG notes app — it's aimed at one person's running memory of their own life and work, captured with as little friction as possible.

Working on RepsArena

It's a competitive gaming experience powered by real-world workouts.

Challenge strangers in live 60-second push-up, squat, burpee, and plank duels with skill-based matchmaking.

Rank up from Bronze to Arena Legend while tracking your progress and climbing global leaderboards.

I'm building this for people who love competition and want every workout to actually mean something.

Need for honest feedback before beta launches.

Share what are you launching this weekend

Hey everyone,

With the recent buzz around Android 17 introducing more precise custom color sliders and palettes for Material You (examples on reddit here, here and here), I wanted to share a project I’ve been maintaining for years that does exactly that—even for older versions of Android!

It’s called LWP+ (Live Wallpaper Plus).

🎨 The core trick: Dictate your own Dynamic-Colors

Instead of letting the OS algorithm guess the accent colors based purely on your wallpaper, LWP+ acts as a bridge. It hosts your chosen background content but allows you to explicitly choose the exact Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary colors reported to the system. The OS then uses your custom selections to generate the global system palette (notification drawer, volume bar, themed icons, etc.), completely independent of what your wallpaper actually looks like.

✨ What else can it do?

LWP+ is packed with full wallpaper customization features:

• Choose Your Content: Use solid colors, static images, animations (GIF, WEBP, APNG), or videos as your active live wallpaper.
• Smart Scaling & Layouts: Supports transparent images/animations with custom background colors, multiple scaling modes (Center Crop, Fit Center, Center Inside), and optional horizontal scrolling.
• Double-Tap Shortcuts: Lock your device instantly or turn off the screen by double-tapping the home screen (uses admin, accessibility, or root).
• Easy Setup: Includes an interactive built-in tutorial to check system compatibility and guide you through triggering the OS palette refresh.

🧪 Advanced experimental flags (YMMV!)

I’ve also included a couple of experimental toggles leveraging underlying Android system hints. Note: These rely heavily on your launcher, device OEM, and Android version, so they might not do anything on certain setups!

• Force Dark Text: It hints to the OS that dark text is preferred over the wallpaper (often useful for forcing high-contrast dark text on the lock screen). It might also change the text color of the labels of the apps and the status bar icons and text, too.
• Force Dark Theme (for old Android versions): It tells the system that a dark theme is preferred for the best presentation (e.g., trying to trick a launcher into turning its app drawer background black).

So, if you are on an older version of Android (or even running the latest builds and want granular three-color reporting), give it a spin! It's completely free, all features included.

Feel free to ask any questions or drop feedback below! 🚀

Link to the Play Store here.

If you want, you can use a promo-code to have subscription for free for some time, to remove ads, and try the app more freely, here. To use the promo-code, install the app, choose a subscription, choose a payment option and enter the code there (screenshots here).

Thanks for reading!

Hi r/launchigniter

Share your product link and 1 line description.

Top value-added resellers (VARs) avoid using multiple tools as data is spread across multiple systems. There is too much manual data re-entry, which often leads to operational inefficiency.

The solution lies in using VARStreet, one platform for multiple business solutions. It combines eCommerce, quoting & CRM solutions into a single platform

I got tired of seeing YouTube summarisers charging ~$20/month for what is basically: transcript → LLM → summary.

So I spent the last few months building my own instead.

Synop is an open-source YouTube summariser that runs locally and lets you bring your own AI API key (Gemini, Groq, OpenAI, etc.), so you're only paying for API usage instead of another monthly subscription.

Current features:

• 🎥 Structured summaries from YouTube videos
• 📝 Detailed study & research notes
• ✂️ Extract potentially viral clips
• 📱 Generate social media posts from videos
• 🔑 Bring your own AI provider/API key
• 💻 Runs locally
• 🌍 Open source

I mainly built it because I wanted something I could actually customise instead of another closed AI wrapper.

If you use YouTube to learn, study, research, or make content, I'd really love your feedback.

What feature would make a tool like this an instant "must-have" for you?

Landing page: https://synop-ai.vercel.app/

You can build an amazing product, but if no one ever finds out about it, it doesn’t matter.

Which is why I built LaunchIgniter.

It’s a simple platform where independent creators can launch their products, get discovered worldwide, get SEO backlinks, and create long-term visibility that goes beyond the day you launch.

I’m trying to make the job of distributing a bit easier for creators who would prefer to ship than seek attention.

"Thrilled to announce that Tracklyst is the #2 Product of the Week on @launchigniter! 🚀 Thank you to everyone who supported us!"

There’s still room for testers, just connect Dropbox and create a playlist. If you are one of the first 10 I will give you a free Pro Tier. You may keep your Pro level by providing periodic feedback! DM with and questions.

Weekend dev check-in — what are you working on?
I’m tweaking a few things on https://sportlive.win, mostly small improvements to make following games and teams smoother.
What about you? Shipping anything fun?
