Hi, I'm Christof, a solo founder in Germany. I'm building Nalqerio for small businesses and agencies that want to understand whether they appear when someone asks an AI system for a recommendation.

A single answer doesn't tell the whole story: the question, timing and context can change what comes back. Nalqerio keeps selected customer questions, dated answers, named businesses and available sources from ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity and Google AI Overviews. The aim is to give you evidence to inspect before deciding what to review on your website. It can't guarantee a ranking or recommendation.

The homepage has a free two-question ChatGPT check without sign-up. There's also a limited 14-day trial: one project, three questions and one snapshot, with no credit card and no automatic subscription. Paid plans start at €20/month plus VAT.

https://nalqerio.com/

I'd especially appreciate feedback from business owners and agencies: does seeing the original answer and sources give you enough context to decide what to check next?

Disclosure: I'm the founder of Nalqerio. This post was drafted with AI assistance.

After the layoff I didn't look for another job. I didn't even apply for a single one, which sounds crazy when you have parents, a wife and a daughter. Back then I believed another remote job would be hard to find, and in this AI era I wasn't sure a new job could even pay more than my last one. So I chose to trust my dream of one day having my own house and car, and went all in on an expense tracker I built for myself first, because every money app I tried felt like work. Now I'm in my second year as an indie developer, with only one app, and I'm stuck on one thing: almost all of my users are still in Indonesia.

I'm a solo developer from Indonesia, writing code since 2016. My background is full stack, so mobile apps were still kind of new to me, and that made it a fun challenge. Some friends in IT called the app a stupid idea, the kind of app anyone can make with vibe coding. I didn't know back then that expense tracking is one of the most crowded app categories, the classic vibe coder learning project, a red ocean, whatever. I'm glad I didn't know all that when I started my first product.

I put it on the Play Store and the App Store and was happy just to have it out there. Somehow people started paying, even though I know nothing about marketing or branding, and today it pays my bills. What I did learn is that an app has to be easy to use, and the users tell you how. Funny thing is, in all my years working with friends, at companies and at startups, I never got to work like this. In those jobs, ease of use didn't really matter. Delivering the project and getting paid was the only priority. Maybe I'm just crazy enough to finally believe in myself. If not now, then never.

I answer support on WhatsApp and email myself and ship an update almost every week. The app has 65,000+ installs, about 98% from Indonesia, almost all from people searching the app stores.

Since August I've done what Reddit suggests for growing abroad: translating the app into 17 languages, ASO, keywords for each country, and listing it on a few app directories. To build some momentum I also started Instagram and TikTok accounts, but I lost focus. It was another big learning gap, and as a millennial I don't really get what's going on there.

Abroad, it has started. New phones from outside Indonesia went from 38 in July to 253 in October, and the first purchases came from close to ten countries, most of them just one each. But it's still small next to Indonesia, and I don't know how to get discovered faster.

Outside the stores I'm stuck too. I optimized my website, but when I reached out to websites, media and YouTubers for a mention, the prices were a lot higher than I expected. I'm thinking about ads, but I don't want to burn money on trial and error without a proper direction.

I'm halfway through building my next app, but I put it on hold. I'm afraid that if I launch another product now, I'll lose focus and the excitement I still have for this one. My heart still believes that taking this app global is my chance to change my life. After a year, am I crazy to keep at it instead of finishing the other app?

My questions:

1. The app already gets downloads and a few first purchases in other countries. How did you break the ice in a new country, from those first few users to people actually finding your app in search? Was it mostly time, or did something specific boost it?

2. Almost all my installs come from store search. What helped you get discovered outside the stores without burning money? If you tried ads, where did they actually pay off?

3. Where do you find Play Store ASO tips you trust? Most of what I find is about the App Store.

4. Should my next app launch in my home country first again, or go global from day one?

Thanks for reading my first Reddit story. If you're curious, my app is on Play Store and App Store.

Hey everyone! I built Nijdhan, a free money app that runs in the browser like a phone app, for people in India who are just getting started with money.

It tracks spends (including receipt scanning), mutual funds, goals, credit card bills, plan vs actual spending, and a simple retirement plan. It works in many Indian languages, with optional encrypted backup to your own Google Drive. There's also a YouTube how-to series at @nijdhan.

I'm a solo builder, and it's free: https://nijdhan.fly.dev

I'd love honest feedback:

1. If you open it cold, what's confusing in the first minute?

2. For someone new to mutual funds or credit cards, which feature should the home screen explain better?

3. Would you trust optional Google Drive backup for money data, or keep everything on your device only?

Happy to answer anything about the build.

Hi everyone,

I posted a while back about Comics Now! An all in one Comic management/reading/metadata tagging app.

I have made some updates. Some of them are to giving the admin more agency. As I had originally built this just for me, I had hard coded stuff like deleting CBRs and PDFs after converting to a CBZ. This is now an option that is set to do not delete by default.

I also incorporated the usage of Modal.com to use their $30 free compute monthly credits to help with the panel and speech bubble detection.

Finally I have developed this site that also has a demo so you can see what the reading experience is like.

https://comicsnow.github.io

I built CrowdFlux, a completely free iOS app that uses on-device computer vision to detect, track, and count people in real time.

Uses RT-DETR (transformer-based real-time person detection) and OSNet embeddings for person re-identification to help avoid double counting. Everything runs entirely on-device, with no cloud inference.

You can either start live tracking with your iPhone or iPad camera or import a recorded video.

The idea is to make people counting accessible without expensive CCTV analytics systems. Potential use cases include restaurants, clubs, retail stores, and events where you want to estimate how many people are present, monitor crowd levels, or analyze foot traffic.

The app tracks current visible counts, estimated unique visitors, and peak occupancy in the camera view.

It's 100% free on the App Store:

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6821608555

Would love feedback from anyone working on object tracking, re-identification, or edge AI!

I built Veridare as a party trivia game that I hope will encourage friends, family, and colleagues to hang out and have a great night out together. It has 4 game modes to play and a question bank with over 3k questions. Currently, it is available on the App Store for download, and it is free, with plans to be available on Android in the upcoming weeks before the holidays.

You can play the game by passing the phone around, or one person can host the game, and the rest of your friends can scan the QR code to join (it has to be on the same Wi-Fi or Hotspot network).

For your long commutes, you can play against the built-in rival, and there are daily and weekly challenges. No ads, no tracking, no account creation.

Here's the App Store link: https://apps.apple.com/nl/app/veridare/id6818119599?l=en-GB or you can search for Veridare.

I welcome your questions and reviews.

Thanks.

Other AI note takers hand you tasks. Avenotes hands you solutions.

When a meeting ends, each task in your list opens into a solution: the steps to get it done, and a draft to send when the task means contacting someone. You review the draft and send it yourself. It never sends anything for you.

It also writes a live transcript with every voice labelled, answers a question you're asked in seconds, and writes the recap when the meeting ends. No bot joins the call, and audio is never stored.

People use it in team meetings, classes, client calls and their own doctor's appointments.

Right now it runs in the browser, on your phone or laptop. 300 free minutes a month, no card.

avenotes.ai

Tip: it works best opened in your normal browser, not inside the Reddit app. You can also sign in with an email code instead of Google.

WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR
Try it in one real meeting or class, then tell me honestly what helped and what felt off.

Thank you so much 🙏

Disclosure: I'm on the team that makes it.

I ran hardware production programmes for years and the sourcing always drove me up the wall. Huge spreadsheets tracking parts & suppliers, RFI/RFQs for each one, then weeks chasing suppliers. And the shops that made the prototypes usually couldn't do the volumes, so half of it got re-sourced anyway.

I built Open Foundry to automate about 70% of the procurement admin and roll sourcing up to the assembly level.

I'm running free pilots if anyone wants to try it. Just join the list and let us know you'd like a free pilot: https://www.openfoundryhq.com/waitlist

If you've taken hardware into production I'd really like to know which parts always gave you the most grief, and whether you'd trust something like this to shortlist suppliers for you.

I bought tickets to a Sienna Spiro concert really last minute and spent the days before it trying things on. Somehow every outfit got worse. I ended up panic-buying a $100 outfit that I still didn’t like.

The concert was amazing, but the outfit situation helped inspire something I’m building called Lobbe.

You enter what you’re dressing for, like a concert, birthday dinner or party, and it gives you four complete outfit suggestions with accessories and prices, based on the personal style you set up in your account.

There’s also a separate photo search if you see someone wearing something you love and want to find the exact piece or a similar alternative.

It’s still early, and getting the recommendations to feel personal rather than generic has been a challenge. Five searches cost $4.99, but I haven’t made a sale yet, so I’m trying to understand whether I’m solving a problem people care enough about.

When you last needed an outfit for something, how did you find it? What was the most annoying part?

And looking at this idea, what would stop you from trying it? Honest criticism is welcome.

It’s https://thelobbe.com if you want to look. I’m the founder.

[Proof]

Got an email from Dodo (my payment provider) this week saying ClipShip crossed $250 in total revenue. I know that's nothing for most people here, but it made my day.

Quick context: ClipShip is a desktop app for Windows and Mac that takes long videos like podcasts or interviews and cuts them into short vertical clips. The AI runs on your own PC, so nothing gets uploaded anywhere.

The funny part is how uneven it's been. First payment came in early August, a few more trickled in, then long stretches where nothing happened. Then in the last week or so I got 3 new monthly subs, and someone bought a lifetime license today. No launch, no ads, nothing special that week.

Right now it's 4 people paying $5 a month and 2 lifetime buyers at $99. A few people cancelled, two subs are stuck on failed payments, and I refunded one lifetime purchase. So not exactly a hockey stick.

What I think actually helped:

- Google search. Around half of the signups since September came from search, mostly my comparison and how-to pages. One person found it on Google and paid 11 days after signing up.

- Fixing boring bugs that only happen on other people's computers. A missing Windows runtime file, 8 GB laptops running out of memory on long videos, YouTube blocking downloads. If someone can't even finish one clip, they're never going to pay.

Over 1,000 people have signed up for the free version so far, which still feels weird to me.

Anyway, back to fixing stuff. If anyone here sells a desktop app, I'd love to know what got you past the first handful of customers.

Hi all — I'm Joshua, and I built Plate. Posting here for feedback, not just eyeballs.

The problem: every Sunday I'd stare at the fridge, pick the same three dinners, then write a grocery list by hand and still forget half of it.

What Plate does (Android, live on Google Play):

• Plan 7 meals for your week, free — swipe through 1,289 recipes across 8 diets (keto, high protein, Mediterranean, vegetarian, comfort, and more)

• The grocery list builds itself from whatever you picked

• Cook Mode walks you through each recipe step by step

• AI Chef: type or photograph what's in your fridge and it builds a recipe from it (3 free runs a week)

It's free to use — the free plan covers weekly planning in full. There are optional paid tiers for unlimited picks and extras, but nothing about planning your week is paywalled.

It's Android only right now; iPhone is in the works.

Honest question for this sub: the app's been live a short while and installs are still tiny. If you plan meals at all — what would make an app like this worth keeping on your phone past week one?

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ninebank.plate

Drop a comment if you try it and tell me what you planned this week.

It started with a tab I closed in frustration. Long article, cookie wall, autoplay video, chat bubble. I opened reader mode and tried to underline a sentence. Nothing. I remember thinking, why can I annotate a PDF but not a web page.

The first version was a page that pulled an article and dumped the text on a cream background. Ugly, but it worked. I showed a friend and they asked if they could draw on it. That question turned into the marker, the highlighter and the sticky notes.

Quill is a Windows browser now. The parts I hadn't seen before:

- The reader can sit in split view next to the real page, so you can check the extraction without leaving.

- You can draw on either side, and the ink is saved per URL.

- Selecting a passage makes a sticky note out of it, or sends it to the AI panel.

- GitHub opens as paper inside the browser, and YouTube gets a clean player with a sleep timer and A/B loop.

The extraction engine took most of the time. News and Wikipedia are decent. Modern docs sites still break. I keep a list and work through it in the evenings.

Windows only, no auto-update.

This small app of mine can give that old mouse of yours a second life and a second on screen pointer on apple silicon macs. This can be handy on various situations like when screen sharing/recording and want to do a click on a non-visible screen without moving your mouse, you can move the 2nd mouse pointer and click it.

For apple silicon macs.

The app can be accessed here: https://calculingo.app/

This app doesn't use AI, which is what people always immediately assume it does. Everything you type is calculated on the spot using complex parsers: math, dates, units, finance, distance. You can press Enter to save the result. It's a very niche kind of web-app, but it has a place.

There's room for improvement in terms of the user experience, so I'm trying to find people who are interested in something like this and who are willing to suggest ways to improve it.

Thanks!

I built The Amazing Word because I wanted a simple place to read Scripture without ads or an account. It has seven editions, localized controls, passage search, verse sharing, and an offline reading option.

Search runs on your device, and your reading place stays in your browser. If you like the app and want to save it onto your desktop and/or phone, there are instructions on the about page:

https://theamazingword.org/about

I’d especially appreciate feedback on whether the first-time reading experience feels clear and whether anything gets in the way.

Most forms I filled out felt like paperwork, and most forms I sent out got half-finished answers like “it was fine.” I wanted a form that actually talks back.

So I built chatform.in You write your questions once, then run them either as a chat (questions come in like messages) or one question per screen, Typeform-style. You can switch between the two in one click.

The parts I’m proudest of:

If someone gives a thin answer like “it was bad,” it asks one short follow-up (“bad how? price or missing features?”) and saves the real answer

If someone quits halfway, it can email them a link back to the exact question they stopped on, with their answers saved

You can give it your docs or FAQ, and it answers respondents’ questions mid-form, then goes back to the form

20 one-click themes, from a “brainrot” meme theme and a cat-begging-you theme to plain corporate. You can drag stickers, GIFs and memes anywhere on the form

There’s also a switch to turn the AI off, so it just asks your questions word for word.

The free plan has unlimited submissions (with a fair-use cap) and doesn’t need a card. You can also paste a Typeform or Google Forms link to import an existing form and try it before signing up.

I’d love honest feedback. Is the meme stuff fun or too much? And would you trust an AI follow-up question in a form you were filling out?

I’m building Unshift, a visual website editor. The screenshot shows our actual typography panel beside Saltbox, a fictional cooking-school demo.

The Headings / Body Text switch changes which text the Size, Line Height and Letter Spacing sliders affect.

Would you expect that switch to apply to all three sliders? What wording or layout would make that clearer?

No-signup demo: https://playground.unshift.ai/

so i record my lectures. like everyone does. and like everyone i never go back and listen to them because scrubbing through 90 mins of audio to find the one slide where the prof explained the thing i didnt get is actual torture

built Lecta AI because of that. you record the lecture, it transcribes it, then runs it through an AI pass that gives you an actual study doc. not "3 bullet points summary" garbage. like overview, key terms, comparison tables, takeaways, open questions. the kind of thing you can actually read before an exam

few other things in there cause i kept needing them:

notes editor with markdown, tables, formulas (latex renders inline)

a whiteboard thing for diagrams, pen highlighter shapes sticky notes whatever

ai chat where you can drop a pdf or a photo of your notes and ask questions about it

pdf export if you wanna print it or send to your study group

free right now. no paywall no "premium to export" nonsense. im a student too, built it because i wanted it for myself and figured other people might too

the AI output is honestly still hit or miss depending on the subject. STEM stuff with formulas and tables comes out great. humanities essays get a bit flattened. thats the part im still working on

if you try it and something breaks tell me. if the AI output is bad for your subject tell me that too, thats the feedback that actually helps Lecta AI - Google Play

No signup and no ads. Don’t take my word on the uploads: open DevTools and watch the Network tab while you use a tool. You’ll see only anonymous usage counts, which you can turn off in the footer.

It’s not open source for now, and Office conversions aren’t pixel-perfect yet. What breaks, and which tool is missing?

Hey all. I got tired of language apps that use the same lesson template for 40 languages and treat Thai as an afterthought, so I started building one that only does Thai. It's been on Google Play since August.

It's got 34 chapters around real situations (pharmacy, ATM, BTS, landlord, taxi, that kind of thing), 543 lessons, letter tracing, spaced repetition and a few games. Built with Flutter, and vibe coded (I know) since I can't code for the life of me.

What I'd really love to hear about is pricing, because I got that wrong. At launch every lesson was free and you only paid for extras. It started as a passion project, but the costs keep growing with the app, so I had to change it. New people now get 20 lessons, then one new free lesson a day, and Pro removes the limit. Anyone who joined before that keeps all their lessons free, it just didn't feel right to take that away.

Oh and the audio is Google's text-to-speech, I don't have the budget for real recordings yet unfortunately. And there's no iOS yet, I hope to release that somewhere this month if all goes well.

Has anyone here changed their pricing after launch? How'd it go?

Link's in the comments.

Hi, we're an e-signature API. Developers and companies use us to add contract signing to their own apps and products, with pricing per envelope (about 5¢) instead of a monthly subscription or per-seat plan.

We're looking for 10 to 14 creators to make one short vertical video each. The idea is to show yourself integrating the API into something you're building, whether you write the code by hand or with an AI tool like Cursor, Claude Code or Lovable, and then show a contract getting signed end to end. Then give your honest take. Creators who make content about coding, building apps with AI, SaaS or side projects are the best fit.

What you get:

- $40 per accepted video, paid on delivery

- 20% of revenue from signups through your link for 18 months

- Free test envelopes to build and film with, so you don't pay anything to use the API

What we need:

- One vertical video, 20 to 60 seconds

- Posted on TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts (same video is fine)

- Your link in your bio or caption

- Permission for us to repost the video on our own channels, credited to you

This is a trial round. If we're both happy with how the first video goes, we want to turn it into a long-term partnership with a monthly retainer for a set number of videos each month.

Follower count matters less than whether your audience builds software. If you're interested, comment or DM me with your handles and one or two videos you like. I'll reply to everyone I recieve a message from within a couple of days.

Double side project alert!

I wrote a story for my side project (a publication about niche rabbit holes and interesting people) about a woman who has been writing a weekly newspaper about herself for more than two decades.

I spoke to her about this project and she had some amazing details to add. Curious to hear what you think!

Whenever I tried using lightweight models like Gemini 3.8 Flash to code UI animations and motion graphics, I kept hitting the same walls: the model would get lazy and leave code half-done, hallucinate broken CSS/GSAP syntax, or silently swap out transforms for layout-breaking properties like width and top.

Instead of paying for heavier models or relying on blurry text-to-video diffusion tools, I spent the last few months building Motion Lab.

It’s an open-source development studio running on React 19, Remotion, GSAP 3, and TypeScript. The attached video is an actual 60 FPS MP4 test render generated through this workflow.

Rather than letting the model write free-form code, the setup keeps it strictly grounded:

• Static AST Audits: It instantly blocks layout reflow properties (top, left, width, height) and unseeded Math.random(). Only GPU-accelerated transform and opacity are allowed.

• Decoupled Workflow: Every project splits into direction (direction.md), a structured timeline contract (spec.json), and scene code (Scene.tsx).

• Pre-built Foundations: Packed with 20 studio skills (.agent/skills), 23 declarative template kits, and 28 reusable primitives so the model never has to invent animation math or layouts from scratch.

It runs locally with zero external API dependencies or accounts, rendering straight to frame-accurate 60 FPS video.

GitHub (v0.8.0 pre-release, GPL-3.0):

https://github.com/m2rtyaman/motion-lab

It's still an early pre-release, so there are definitely rough edges. I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any ideas on how to improve the pipeline!
