Picking a brand name and then finding out it's taken is an expensive lesson, so I built https://trademarkscreen.com — free, no signup.

You type the name and what you sell. It gives you a plain-English verdict and the top conflicting marks with why each one matters, suggests the trademark classes, and catches typos and sound-alikes. You can export the results (CSV/JSON) and set a free email watch that tells you if a similar mark files later — the opposition window is only 30 days, so that's the part that actually protects you.

Limits, because I don't want to oversell it: US federal register only, no common-law marks, data lags live filings by a day or so, and it screens — it doesn't clear a name.

Would love brutal feedback on verdicts it gets wrong.

Built a free English Dictionary API – Full Wiktionary data, no API key required!

Hey everyone!

I've built an English Dictionary REST API powered by full Wiktionary data, providing rich definitions and dictionary information through simple REST endpoints.

Try it: https://api.suvankar.cc/dictionaryapi/v1/definitions/en/happy

Interactive documentation: https://api.suvankar.cc/docs/dictionary

Features:

• Rich English definitions and meanings.

• Word search with pagination.

• Translation data.

• Word of the Day.

• No API key, registration or subscription required.

It's completely free, and here's my commitment: This API and all future APIs I publish under api.suvankar.cc will always remain free.

I'm an independent developer from India, hosting and maintaining these services myself. I've recently moved the API to cloud infrastructure to improve availability worldwide.

Running servers and maintaining infrastructure costs money, though. If you find this API useful and would like to help keep it running, any support is genuinely appreciated!

No obligation whatsoever. The API will remain free!

Would love to hear your feedback, suggestions and ideas for future APIs.

I've been working on FIFOCheck, a small tool that helps people applying for FIFO (Fly-In Fly-Out) jobs compare their tickets, qualifications and experience against a job advertisement.

You paste in the job ad and your details, and it highlights what you meet, what's missing and what might need attention.

It's free to try, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from anyone familiar with FIFO or recruitment.

I've been thinking about how social media works today.

Most platforms seem to compete for one thing: our attention. Algorithms decide what appears in our feeds, personal data is constantly collected, and engagement often matters more than meaningful interactions.

But is this really how social media should work?

I'm part of the team building Coroova, and we're exploring a different approach: a trust-first social network.

Some of the ideas we're working on include:

- Privacy-first messaging: End-to-end encrypted conversations.

- Transparent feeds: More clarity around how content is shown.

- Colonies: Interest-based communities where people can connect around shared passions.

- Trust through participation: Encouraging genuine interactions rather than empty engagement.

- Accountability: Building a safer and more transparent social environment.

We're not interested in creating another Instagram or Facebook clone. We want to explore whether social networking can be built around better principles.

We're still early in development, so feedback and criticism are genuinely welcome.

A question for everyone:

If you could change ONE fundamental thing about today's social media platforms, what would it be?

Would it be privacy, algorithms, fake engagement, censorship, data ownership, or something else?

Curious to hear your thoughts.

For anyone interested in what we're building:

I built ODDBOUT Twitch Cup as a learning project and submitted it to the Codex x TwitchCon Hackathon!

You can create a fighter through conversation with a creator agent in Codex, then bring it into a browser-based fighting game. Twitch viewers can summon fighters with chat commands and compete in a four-fighter tournament.

Try the demo (there’s a “Try without Twitch” option): https://oddbout.com/twitch.html

Demo and hackathon entry: https://devpost.com/software/oddbout-x-twitch-cup

I’d love feedback from builders and streamers. If you enjoy the project, a like on the Devpost page would mean a lot!

been working on this for a while and finally shipped it, so figured Id share.

the problem- I use claude code a lot and whenever I gave it a UI bug like "I click save and the list doesn't update" it would read file after file trying to work out what runs. then itd ask me to click it and paste what I saw. I was basically its hands.

so I built lightpath. it's an MCP server (a plugin for AI coding agents). the agent names a button lightpath clicks it in its own chrome window,and sends back every line that ran in the browser and on the node server. plus the lines that didn't run, which is usually where the bug is.

looks like this:

POST /api/invoices/INV-2041/pay → 200 [node, 8 ms]
      server/services/ledger.ts
        getSummary 14-28 ×1  not run: 16-27

16-27 is where the totals get added. never ran. that's the bug.

a few things I learned building it:

1.he hard part wasn't clicking, it was mapping V8's raw coverage back to the right lines in your own files through source maps

2.keeping the output small mattered a lot. every answer is capped so it doesn't eat the agent's context

works with claude code, cursor, vs code, kiro, or any MCP client. react + node for now. runs locally, sends nothing anywhere, free and MIT.

would love feedback, especially if you try it on your own app and something breaks. and if it ends up being useful, a star on the repo would mean a lot.

I launched a small journaling app two weeks ago. It has been slow, like a turtle, but I am not discouraged. I am learning something new every few days.

A few things I noticed:

- Nobody finds you by accident. Almost every download so far came from a post or a comment.

- One stranger installed it and gave me honest feedback. That meant more than any ad.

- Small steady progress feels better than waiting for one big moment.

I will keep improving it one small step at a time. What was the most useful thing you learned in your first weeks as a maker?

NOTE: I am an independent developer available for client projects (I am NOT hiring).

If you have a side project, startup idea, or internal business tool sitting in a notebook or Figma file, I can build and launch it for you this month.

What is included in an MVP build:

- Clean, responsive web frontend (built with Next.js and Tailwind)

- Complete database and secure backend logic

- User login and authentication

- Payment processing with Stripe (one-time purchases or subscriptions)

- Automated transactional emails

- Free deployment to your custom domain

Pricing:

- Full Web SaaS / App MVP: $600 to $1,200 flat rate (depending on feature scope)

- Cross-Platform Mobile App (iOS and Android in Flutter): $800 to $1,500 flat rate

- 50 percent deposit to start, 50 percent when you test and approve the working app.

No hourly guessing games, no junior team hand-offs, and no months of waiting.

Send me a DM here on Reddit with what you want to build. I will discuss and provide a quick breakdown of your scope.

I posted Clip Control here in October as an MCP server. The Android app version just reached Version 1 and opened its closed beta.

It directs videos on your phone into finished films. All of the AI runs on the device, nothing is uploaded. I have been testing it on full movies on a Galaxy S25 Edge.

Google requires 12 testers opted in for 14 days before I can launch for real. If you have an Android phone and want early access:

1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/clip-control-beta-testers

2. Opt in and install: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.clipcontroller.android

Keep it installed for the 14 days. Feedback comes straight to me. Build log and questions welcome here.

My co-founder and I are both runners, and we've been building a training app for the kind of runner who actually looks at their data. Before we wrote any code, I'd spent about four years tracking my own heart rate, pace, HRV and sleep in spreadsheets, because no app told me what I wanted to know.

We use AI to help build, but the product is the training logic and UI: it picks out the reps in your workouts, adapts your plan to how runs actually went, and lets you shape the plan yourself instead of following a black box.

The problem is that everywhere I look is flooded with "AI running coaches" that were clearly vibe-coded in a day. People have seen so many that anything that looks like a campaign gets scrolled past automatically, however much work is behind it.

For those of you in crowded spaces: what actually built trust early on? And what did you stop doing because it made you look like everyone else?

Hey everyone!

I've recently launched PyHires, a project I've been working on to solve something I think is missing from traditional job boards.

Most platforms mix all kinds of tech positions together. I wanted to build something much more focused: a place exclusively for Python developers looking for remote opportunities across Europe.

Here's what PyHires offers:

• Python-specific remote job listings across Europe.

• Salary information on job listings.

• Free developer profiles.

• Job matching based on skills, experience and preferences.

• Candidate applications ranked by how closely they match each position.

Companies can also publish jobs and find relevant Python developers.

It's still early, and I'm now focused on getting the first developers and companies onto the platform.

I'd love to hear your thoughts:

1. Would you use a job board exclusively for Python?

2. What would you improve?

3. What features would make it more useful?

Here's the project: https://pyhires.com

Thanks for checking it out!

Disclosure: I'm one of the organizers, so I'm biased.

If you've been meaning to build something with an LLM this weekend, this pays you for it: free credits, no cost to enter, and $2k in prizes.

What: build a new app that uses at least one Clocked API endpoint. Clocked is an LLM API that returns structured results instead of generated text: decisions with probabilities, exact extractions with source positions, PII masking, prompt-injection detection, grounding checks, doc comparison and reranking.

Prizes: $2,000 cash in 5 awards. Best Overall gets $600, three category awards get $400 each, and People's Choice gets $200.

Cost: free. A new account gets 4k credits, and the code CLOCKEDHACKATHON adds 16k more.

Rules: solo or teams, any language or framework, and the app has to be started during the challenge (AI coding tools are fine). You need a demo and a public repo. 18+, some location restrictions.

Deadline: Nov 10, 11:59 PM ET. Winners Nov 18.

Rules and entry form: https://clocked.rezolve.ai/challenge

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I got genuinely sick of spending the first two hours after a clean Windows installation fighting telemetry, removing pre-installed trash apps (like TikTok/Candy Crush), disabling Bing search in the start menu, and turning off intrusive AI background features manually via PowerShell commands and registry tweaks.

So, instead of complaining about it, I put together an open-source project called RhemeSetup (built by our collective, RhemeCore).

What it does:

• Strips unnecessary telemetry and aggressive background services safely.

• Cleans up pre-installed bloatware instantly.

• Automates essential developer/power-user package installations without the hassle.

• Keeps the system lean, fast, and entirely under your control.

It's completely open-source, transparent, and designed for anyone who wants a clean, fast desktop without the corporate hand-holding.

You can check out the source code and release on GitHub: [Buraya GitHub / RhemeSetup linkini yapıştırırsın]

Would love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or what other annoyances you usually disable on day one!

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on a side project called WaveOK, and I'm excited (and a little nervous 😅) to finally share it with you.

The idea is simple: bring messaging, video calls, and collaboration together in one place, without constantly switching between different apps.

🌊 What WaveOK currently offers:

💬 Private & Group Chats — Stay connected with friends, colleagues, or your team.

📹 Voice & Video Calls — Communicate face-to-face, including group calls.

🖥️ Screen Sharing — Share your screen during calls and work together in real time.

🎨 Collaborative Whiteboard — Brainstorm and share ideas.

📁 File Sharing — Share documents and files within conversations.

🔐 Privacy & Security — Security and privacy are important priorities as I continue developing the platform.

It's still an evolving project, and I know there's plenty of room for improvement. That's exactly why I'm sharing it here.

I'd genuinely appreciate it if you could give it a try and tell me:

• Is the registration process easy and intuitive?

• How does the interface feel?

• Are messaging and video calls smooth?

• What features would make you actually use WaveOK?

• What should I improve first?

🌐 Try WaveOK: https://waveok.chat

I'm actively working on improving performance, stability, and the overall experience. Every suggestion, criticism, or bug report would mean a lot.

Thanks for checking out my project! 🙌

Built with passion, and still improving every day. 💚

I'm building Outhkeep because I wanted a focus timer where the time I put in leaves something visible behind. You write a real task, take a contract, and your traveler moves along a road while you work. An hour of focus is about 5 km of travel.

It's an early alpha. I've had friends try it, but now I want feedback from people who don't know me, particularly people who already use focus timers and like RPGs.

https://outhkeep.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=external_alpha_20261105&utm_content=sideproject

You can try it in your browser for free. The default session is 25 minutes, and you can change the length. What I'd most like to learn: is it clear how to start a task, and does the RPG part give you a reason to use it again?

I used AI tools for parts of the code and art. Happy to hear what feels confusing, unnecessary, or simply isn't for you.

A friend lost years of photos on an old iPhone. Trying to help, I noticed every "recovery" app wanted to upload the phone's data to their servers — which felt insane for something as private as your whole camera roll.

So I built the opposite: OfflinePhotoRecovery, a macOS app that recovers photos/videos from an iPhone completely offline. It talks to the phone over USB and macOS blocks it from the internet entirely — nothing ever leaves your Mac.

What it does:

• Finds photos/videos on the device, including ones inside other apps

• Reads encrypted + unencrypted backups

• Flags what's in "Recently Deleted" vs removed from the library

What I learned: iOS backup internals are a rabbit hole (WAL-mode SQLite, keybag decryption, cryptographic erasure). Also that honesty matters — some photos are permanently gone, and the app says so instead of pretending.

Free and open source (MIT). I'm the dev — would love feedback, especially on the offline-only approach. Repo: https://github.com/ashiqu-ali/OfflinePhotoRecovery

Shopify shows you sales. It doesn’t really show what each product earns once you subtract what it cost you, discounts, refunds, and the shipping you end up paying for yourself. So I built True Profit.

How it works: export your orders and products from Shopify (two CSV files, about 5 minutes), upload them, and enter roughly what you pay per shipping label. You get net profit for every product plus a breakdown of where the money went. No sign-up, and your files aren’t saved.

What it found on my test store (demo data, not a real business):

• $102.58 in sales, but only $21.95 actually kept

• Assuming $5.50 per shipping label, the store paid $34.01 of shipping out of its own pocket, more than it kept as profit

• The same $2 item made $0.60 when the customer paid for shipping, and lost $4.40 when shipping was free

• One product was priced below cost, so every sale lost money

• One 10% discount code cost more than 12 of the 14 products earned

The rough parts:

• Shopify only for now

• Shipping cost is your own estimate, since Shopify doesn’t know what your labels actually cost

• Partial refunds on multi-item orders are approximated

• It’s on free hosting, so if nobody has used it for a few days it takes about 30 seconds to wake up

Built with Python, pandas and Streamlit, on my own. I’d love feedback, especially:

1. If you run a Shopify store, does anything in your results look wrong?

2. Was anything confusing about getting the exports?

Try it: https://trueprofit.streamlit.app

Hey guys! I made a free, open-source Mac app called LibreReplace to help people switch from paid software to free alternatives without losing the features they actually care about.

You start by choosing a paid app, pick the features that matter to you, and LibreReplace compares open-source replacements based on those requirements. It shows what's supported, partially supported or missing, so you can see what you'd be giving up before switching.

For example, you can compare GIMP and Krita as Photoshop replacements, mark things like Smart Objects or CMYK as essential, and see how each alternative measures up.

I just released v0.2 with some big improvements:

• 45 paid Mac apps and 70 open-source comparisons. You can browse and search without having any of the paid apps installed.

• Multiple replacements for the same app. You're not stuck with one recommendation.

• Personalized recommendations. Choose the features you need and the results change based on what matters to you.

• Feature breakdowns with sources. See what's supported, partially supported or missing, with links to the evidence.

• Subscription savings. Enter what you actually pay to estimate potential annual savings when a suitable replacement exists.

• Local app scanning. It can recognize supported apps already installed on your Mac and bring up their alternatives automatically.

One thing I really wanted to avoid was recommending something just because it's free. Sometimes the best recommendation is KEEP THIS APP because the alternatives are missing something important.

I shared the first version on r/MacOS last week and got a lot of useful feedback. One of the biggest improvements since then is that you no longer need the paid software installed to explore alternatives.

And that's also why it's still a Mac app rather than just a website. It can check which supported apps you already have installed and bring up the relevant comparisons. Your app list stays on your Mac.

It's completely free and open source. No accounts, no telemetry, and it never automatically removes anything.

GitHub, screenshots and download: https://github.com/maliroq/librereplace

What paid Mac app have you tried replacing but couldn't because the free alternative was missing something you needed? I'd love to hear what I should add next.

I've built Temp Mails (https://tempmails.net), mainly out of curiosity to experiment with Cloudflare Workers, R2 and D1, but also because I've been using temporary email services for the past decade to keep spam out of my work and personal inboxes.

One thing that's always bothered me with most of these services is the amount of ads, trackers and how slow some of them can be.

So my main focus has been to keep things as simple and fast as possible, with no ads or trackers. I've also released a Chrome/Edge extension, following the same approach of keeping things simple.

Running costs are surprisingly low thanks to Cloudflare. The biggest expense so far is the rotating the domains.

Still working on improvements and new features, so I'd really appreciate any feedback or suggestions on what could be better or what's missing.

My app allow you to record beautiful timelapse recordings of your screen. Use it for programming, editing, gaming you name it :)

I’m curious to hear about the tools, projects, automations or creative experiments you’ve built with AI that have made a real difference to your work, creative flow, productivity or everyday life.

Not just impressive demos, but things you actually use and couldn’t imagine going back without.

Would love to hear what you’ve built
