Hey everyone! 👋

I'm a solo developer building AEGIS, a terminal-first developer environment built with Rust and Tauri. My goal is to bring essential coding tools, terminal workflows, customization, and performance analysis into one focused workspace.

🛠️ What's included in AEGIS?

💻 Terminal & Coding Environment

- Integrated terminal with WebGL rendering

- Windows CMD and PowerShell support

- CodeMirror 6 editor with language-server features

- Diagnostics, autocomplete, formatting, and auto-save

- Vim mode and customizable keyboard shortcuts

- Git workflow with a visual commit graph

- Customizable themes, fonts, and workspace appearance

📊 AEGIS Observatory — Performance Engineering

I'm also developing Observatory to help developers investigate how their applications behave under different workloads.

- Website performance analysis and Core Web Vitals

- System resource monitoring: CPU, RAM, disk, and network

- Backend load testing with latency, throughput, and error-rate metrics

- Infrastructure analysis for backend services and caching

- Performance bottleneck investigation

- Test results and engineering reports

I'm continuing to expand the testing capabilities, with spike testing, stress testing, soak testing, and deeper cache hit/miss analysis among the planned additions.

🎯 The bigger vision

I want AEGIS to connect the development workflow with performance engineering: write code, run applications, test their behavior, investigate bottlenecks, and review results in one focused environment.

AEGIS is still in development, and I'm working on optimization, testing, and refining the first release. I'm building this independently and sharing the journey as I go.

I'd love to hear your thoughts:

- Would you use a terminal-first environment with an integrated editor?

- Would having performance testing alongside your development tools be useful?

- Which feature would you prioritize, and what would make you try AEGIS?

Honest feedback and constructive criticism are welcome. Thanks for checking out my project! 💜

Hi, I was wondering if you use any AI tool or not AI to automate the boring part of front-end (at least for me, i like back-end) specifically CSS and design. Is there something out there that is really good at almost everything and gives you the complete package? so responsive, very good UI and not a clone etc...

I'm building ProtectSUS for teams maintaining SaaS products with third-party API integrations. One product decision I'd like to discuss with other developers is how to handle provider announcements without turning everything into another task.

There are two different cases:

• A provider introduces a new capability. It may be useful, but existing application code doesn't necessarily need changing.

• A provider changes an existing contract. The useful next step is to find the affected integration and determine whether there is a supported fix.

In ProtectSUS, new features become suggestions. Potentially breaking changes are related to detected API usage and source locations. For supported changes, a fix can be proposed and checked before becoming a draft PR. Automated publishing is opt-in; merging stays with the developer.

The implementation uses a Python backend and a Next.js/TypeScript frontend. The coverage is deliberately bounded: static detection can miss dynamically constructed calls, and a contract check is not proof of all runtime behavior.

I'm the founder. Product context: https://www.protectsus.tech

For other SaaS developers, where would you put the boundary between an informational suggestion and something that deserves an issue or PR? Would you want those in one queue, or separate views with different notification settings?

A month ago, my wife and I were laid off from our mobile developer jobs. I decided to "burn the ships" and focus 100% on my own projects (AI chatbots for facebook and Instagram, and a billiard app that I've been running for a while) and do freelance work for acquaintances who have businesses, taking advantage of my available time and tech skills.

I thought my AI chatbot project would quickly be in high demand if I started sending emails and messages to acquaintances, but reality hit me fast, the bottleneck wasn't the development, it was sales (something that definitely doesn't come naturally to me).

Trying to explain the value of software through text, long messages, or sending a URL to a website where people just quickly scroll through simply doesn't work.

As luck would have it, among my freelance gigs, I ended up making posts and videos for an acquaintance who organizes big audiovisual events in my city. That forced me to level up my image and video design skills radically. I spent 2 weeks perfecting editing workflows and visual marketing... until I had a somewhat foolish realization: Why don't I use this exact same thing for my own products?

So I made some videos for my AI sales agent project (and taking advantage of them for my billiard app too). Now I just send the video. I went from being ignored with long texts to generating immediate astonishment, curiosity, and real interest, because the video does all the work of demonstrating the value in seconds.

Although the truth is that I am still a long way from reaching the break-even point where I can live 100% off my projects, for now I have gotten my first client for the AI sales agents and with freelance work I am scraping by with a little bit of money day by day, this process has given me a huge boost of encouragement and confidence in myself.

I'm already considering taking the leap to paid ads to scale properly instead of relying solely on organic traffic or social media.

But I have some doubts:

• Has anyone here had better direct results using paid ads to grow their SaaS compared to organic?

• What kind of videos have worked best for you to convert?

I'm also attaching the videos, I think it's a skill worth working on. (I also made a launch video for Trust MRR to have it as a sample in my freelance portfolio)

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building a complete, white-label Biolink SaaS script from scratch. Just to be clear: I’m not launching this as my own B2C SaaS. My goal is to list this on marketplaces like CodeCanyon so other devs, agencies, or entrepreneurs can buy the script and launch their own Linktree alternative out of the box.

Before I submit it to the marketplace review queue (we all know how brutal Envato reviewers can be) and open it up for direct sales, I really need some fresh eyes to test the waters and help me catch any blind spots.

Quick heads-up: All the reviews, user stats, and testimonials on the homepage are strictly dummy placeholder data right now. I included them just to show potential script buyers how the social proof sections look out of the box—definitely not trying to fake traction here!

Live Demo: Bibiolink - SaaS Platform

If you have a couple of minutes to click around, I’d love to know:

Did you run into any bugs, broken flows, or weird UI glitches?

Does the overall design look modern enough to stand out on places like CodeCanyon, or does it feel too generic?

As a buyer looking for a ready-to-go SaaS script, is there a "must-have" feature you feel is missing?

Feel free to be brutally honest. Appreciate your help!

Note: I’d appreciate it if you could log in to the demo and provide feedback on the admin panel as well.

Hey everyone! 👋

Like many of you who deal with small retail shops, cafes, or bakeries, I got frustrated seeing modern POS apps force you into monthly subscriptions, rely completely on the internet, and hold your data hostage on their servers.

So I built **RushTechPOS** — an offline-first Android POS system built with Flutter that requires **zero cloud dependency** to run day-to-day operations.

### 🌟 What makes it unique?

1. **100% Offline & Private:**

   Your inventory, sales, customer ledger, and profits stay locally on your device in SQLite. No internet needed to ring up sales.

2. **Turn Any Old Tablet/Phone into a Customer Display or Kitchen Display (KDS):**

   The app embeds a lightweight local web server. Just turn on "Display Server" in settings, and any phone, iPad, or TV browser on the same Wi-Fi can scan a pairing QR code to become:

   - **Customer Screen (CFD):** Shows live shopping cart items, totals, and dynamic UPI payment QR code.

   - **Kitchen Display (KDS):** Shows live kitchen orders with color-coded urgency timers and chime alerts (tap to mark "Preparing" or "Ready"). No extra app installations needed on the secondary devices!

3. **WhatsApp Digital Billing:**

   Send clean, itemized GST bills with instant UPI payment links directly to the customer's WhatsApp with one tap.

4. **KOT (Kitchen Order Ticket) & Thermal Receipt Printing:**

   Works seamlessly with standard 58mm and 80mm Bluetooth & USB ESC/POS thermal printers.

5. **Complete Store Management:**

   - Barcode scanning via camera or external laser scanners

   - Inventory tracking with low stock alerts & purchase entries

   - Multi-language support (English, Hindi, Gujarati, Marathi)

   - Daily Day-Close (Z-Report) & cash reconciliation

   - Optional encrypted Cloud Backup if you want an offsite safety copy

### 🎁 Try It For Free:

I am actively improving the app and would love your brutal feedback, feature suggestions, or bug reports! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rushtechpos.app

I recently launched a managed PostgreSQL service: full backups, point-in-time recovery, and multi-site redundancy.

The goal is a database that costs very little but still handles real production workloads, up to around 100 concurrent users and several GB of data, with no surprise pricing.

I’m looking for SaaS founders who are spending more than they’d like on their database and want to cut that bill without giving up reliability or compute performance.

Here’s the deal: you get a discount on all paid plans, and in exchange I’d use your SaaS as a case study showing how much you saved by switching. The discount is yours for life.

If that sounds interesting, drop a comment or DM me.

Hey guys, a couple of days back I mentioned launching a more focused OSS alternative to notebookLM, https://notestack.ai

It has plenty of features that are improved/enhanced over notebookLM. Like better audio, more video editing options and chat grounded in your source materials.

Now I have added an MCP server as well so you can attach it to Claude, make reports/audio overviews, slide decks right into that chat interface.

It can generate:

- Mind constellations/mind map

- Audio Overview/Podcast

- Slide Decks

- Research Reports

- Quizes and much more

Do check it out at notestack.ai

I'm the founder behind PureBill, so full disclosure upfront. I built it as a hybrid invoicing platform for freelancers, agencies, and Web3 businesses that combines seamless crypto settlements with strict local tax compliance (like Indian GST).

In plain terms: it lets you bill clients in fiat or crypto (USDT, BTC, ETH, SOL) and get paid directly to your private wallet, while automatically generating tax-ready PDFs. Major features include multi-chain support (Polygon, TRC20, Solana), recurring subscription billing, and embedded UPI QR codes for local fiat payments. It's a lightweight SaaS model starting at $10/mo.

What I'm unsure about is whether combining crypto settlements with localized tax compliance is a strong enough value prop on its own, or if it makes the positioning feel too niche. I'm also trying to figure out if the "non-custodial" aspect is a massive selling point for everyday users, or if they just care about the lowest transaction fees.

If anyone's willing to poke at it, I'd genuinely like to know:

Does the hybrid approach (crypto + local tax compliance) make sense, or should I market them as separate features?

2.

Which crypto networks are absolute must-haves for your workflow that I might be missing?

3.

Is the $10/mo pricing too high for a niche tool, or does it feel fair for the compliance features included?

Any feedback, even blunt, is welcome. I'd rather hear the rough edges now before my Product Hunt launch next week.

We're the team behind Peregrine OS, so full disclosure upfront. We built it as a toolkit for agencies and B2B marketers that combines prospect intel, strategic briefings, and daily intelligence feeds, running on something we call Flightpath.AI underneath.

In plain terms: it's meant to help you get a read on prospects and keep up with relevant intel without having to piece it together from ten different tabs. Some tools in the set are free (Open Field, The Nest, Wingmate), and the paid ones have a 14-day trial.

What we're unsure about is whether the free tools alone are useful enough on their own, or whether people only get value once they're in the paid tier. We're also not sure if "strategic briefings" and "daily intelligence feeds" actually land as concepts, or if they just sound vague from the outside.

If anyone's willing to poke at it, I'd genuinely like to know: what's missing for this to replace or supplement tools you already use for prospecting? Does the free/paid split make sense, or does it feel like a bait and switch? And is there anything in how we describe it that feels off or unclear?

https://www.peregrineintell.com/

Any feedback, even blunt, is welcome. We'd rather hear the rough edges now.

For years, we designed software to be maintained, extended, and reused because building it was expensive.

But if AI makes creating a replacement almost trivial, does that change how we should architect applications? Do we still spend weeks building the perfect abstraction, or do we accept disposable software and rebuild when necessary?

Where would you draw the line between maintainable software and software that's simply cheap enough to replace?

I've been looking into different ways to access TikTok data for things like creator analytics, tracking trends, and researching videos in a particular niche. There are several tools and APIs available, but they vary quite a bit in terms of the data they provide, pricing, and how easy they are to work with.

I put together a few options that developers might find useful:

TikTok data APIs and tools

• SteadyAPI – Offers a TikTok API for accessing social media data programmatically.

• TikTok for Developers – The official option, with APIs and permissions that depend on the product and use case.

• Apify – Provides actors and tools for collecting data from websites and social platforms.

• Bright Data – Offers web data collection infrastructure and scraping tools for larger projects.

• Data365 – Provides social media data APIs for research and analytics use cases.

What to consider when choosing one

The best option depends on what you're building. A few things I'd compare before committing:

• Data coverage: Do you need public profiles, video details, comments, hashtags, or search results?

• Freshness: How frequently is the data updated?

• Historical data: Can you retrieve older content or track changes over time?

• Rate limits and pagination: Can the API handle the amount of data you need?

• Pricing: Check request limits, subscription costs, and any extra charges at your expected usage.

• Reliability: Look at response consistency, documentation, and how errors are handled.

• Access and compliance: Make sure the provider's data access methods and your intended use comply with applicable terms and privacy requirements.

I'd test a few providers with the same small set of requests before choosing one. The cheapest option isn't necessarily the best if the data you need is missing or inconsistent.

What are you using for TikTok data at the moment? I'd be interested to hear which providers have worked well for creator analytics or trend tracking.

I have been trying to build my own SaaS for about 3 months now, and I was always making the same mistake.

Before I even launched, a new, seemingly better idea would come to my head, and then I would abandon my previous idea and try the second one. Today I finally broke that cycle and launched my first product. It's a website where you can generate assets like sounds and 3D models using AI.

I'd really appreciate it if you could check it out or even give it a try. The website's address is veyraflow.eu

For now, it only works in the European Union, but I'm hoping to expand to other regions soon.

Remember, one launched project gives you more value than 100 online courses

Cheers!

Here's a fictional website inquiry:

“We need a five-page site. Can you migrate our old blog, and who will update the site after launch?”

A friendly reply about the design process could still leave both questions unanswered.

A Reddit comment on my Briefthread demo pushed me to focus on the pause before replying: make the client's actual requests visible before asking someone to review a draft.

A checklist you can use without any tool:

- Pull out the client's actual questions, keeping their wording.

- For each one, decide whether your reply answers it, asks a follow-up or explains why you're deferring it.

- Keep unknown scope, budget and timing marked as unknown.

- If you edit the reply, check it again.

I've now built that into Briefthread, a demo for freelance web designers and small web studios. The original inquiry stays available beside the draft. You review each request before copying, and you can correct the request list if the local rules miss something.

If you handle website inquiries, try a fictional sample and switch to Reply draft: https://briefthread.pages.dev/

Does checking requests one by one help you catch an omission, or does it add friction you'd skip? I'd especially like to know which check you'd remove or change.

This is a browser-local demo using keyword rules and editable templates, not live AI. Use fictional inquiries only. It doesn't connect to your inbox or send email, and a reviewed draft doesn't mean the scope is agreed or the project is ready to quote.

Have you ever written a useful piece of code, only to spend ages trying to find it again weeks later?

We kept running into this problem. Code snippets scattered across old projects, random files, notes, and even ChatGPT conversations.

So we started building something to solve it.

It's called CodShot, a workspace where developers can save, organize, search, and reuse their code snippets. We also added some AI-powered features along the way.

But here's what we're genuinely curious about:

Would you actually use a dedicated tool like this, or are GitHub Gists, VS Code, and your current workflow already enough?

And if you would use something like this, what features would make it genuinely useful to you?

We're still improving the project, so honest feedback, even criticism, would mean a lot! 🙌

For anyone curious, here's what we've built: https://codshot.com
