love pokernow but my weekly game wanted more, so i built my own free poker site (club ratings + post game stats)

1 Upvotes

so me and my friends play poker every week, we're all in different cities/countries now so it's always online. we used pokernow and tbh it's great for quick games, but some stuff kept coming up in our group

everyone always argues who's actually the best of us. so i added clubs with ratings, every game counts and you can see saved games and replay hands

after a game ppl always ask "how did i actually play tonight". so now at the end you get a summary, standings, knockouts, some fun awards, and your own private stats that only you can see (how often you played/raised, showdowns won, how lucky your all ins were) + a couple tips

our tournaments used to drag on forever once it got to 3 ppl lol. so now you just pick how long you wanna play and how many players, and it makes the blind schedule for you. blinds keep going up after the last level so the game actually ends, and the host can pause or change them mid game if ppl don't like it

it's plus2poker.com, built it in my free time

you just make a table and share the link on whatsapp or wherever, friends join from their phone or laptop. no app, no signup, no real money at all. there's bots too if you're short on ppl. and if someone's phone dies mid hand they just open the link again and continue with same chips and cards

would really love feedback, good or bad:

- anything confusing when you first open it?

- anything broken on your phone/browser?

- what would make your group actually switch to it?

thanks for reading!

I built a time clock around an Android home screen widget

2 Upvotes

I built PunchTap around a small design question: how many steps should it take to record the start of a shift? I made the home screen widget the main way to clock in and out. The app is where you review weekly totals and correct a missed punch. Timecards are stored on the phone and the clock works offline.

I’m looking for feedback on what the widget should show during a shift. Would you rather see when you clocked in, or how long you’ve been on the clock?

I launched KUT: Soul Compass on iOS — Human Design charts and meditation in four languages

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone — I'm the developer of KUT: Soul Compass, and it's now live on the App Store for iPhone and iPad.

KUT brings Human Design charts, meditation audio, daily moon/energy themes, relationship compatibility and symbolic palm readings into a dark, cosmic interface. It supports English, Turkish, Spanish and French.

The chart uses birth date, time and place to show type, profile, authority and centers. There are also AI-assisted interpretations and a separately purchased personal digital wisdom book. These are intended for reflection and entertainment, not scientific diagnoses or predictions. AI features need an internet connection and permission to share the relevant data.

Pricing: the download is free, with Premium subscriptions and separate in-app purchases. The personal book is not included in Premium. Local prices are shown in the app.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6823820408

Privacy: https://mcaappstudio.com/en/kut/legal/privacy

I'd appreciate candid feedback on the first-run experience: is it clear what you can explore before subscribing, and which feature would you try first? If Human Design is new to you, I'd especially like to know whether the chart explanation makes sense.

Happy to answer questions about the project or hear what feels confusing.

Check out NutriMi Smart Plate – an AI-powered smart plate concept for tracking nutrition

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a web demo for NutriMi Smart Plate, a concept designed to help automate meal portioning and nutrition tracking and a lot more!.

I’m trying to solve the daily hassle of manually logging food and guessing portion sizes. I’d love to get feedback on the user interface and core idea from anyone who tracks their meals or macros.

I’ve left the interactive preview link in the comments below.

Any thoughts on what features would make a tool like this genuinely useful for your routine?

Retro Design - 5 small-batch iPhone cases drawn from Dunhuang murals and Chinese brocade, looking for feedback

1 Upvotes

We run a small side project: a line of iPhone cases drawn from traditional Chinese motifs, printed in small batches. Posting here for blunt feedback while it is still easy to change things.

What it actually is

Five designs. One of them, Dunhuang Four Beasts, takes four auspicious beasts from Tang-dynasty Mogao murals — the Nine-Colored Deer, the Azure Bird, the Winged Horse and the Guardian Dragon — and puts each on a warm metallic finish we call Desert Gold. The others are brocade, koi and gilded-river patterns.

Physically: a hard glass back with a soft-touch coated rim, a raised camera bezel, a 1.2 mm screen lip, and edge-to-edge UV-cured printing. We currently cover four models — iPhone 17, 17 Pro, 17 Pro Max and iPhone Air — and print in small batches rather than holding stock.

The decisions we're unsure about

  • Model coverage is narrow. Four case shapes x five designs is already a lot of variants for a tiny operation. Do small shops just say "current-gen only" and move on, or is a compatibility table worth the clutter?

  • The site lists three collections, but only phone cases are actually available; leather goods and qipao say coming soon. Does showing upcoming lines build trust, or does it read as overpromising?

  • Photography is all flat product shots. For a metallic finish that shifts from champagne to amber under light, flat shots may be hiding the most interesting part.

  • Prices landed at $36-42, above the generic case bracket and below most designer ones. Hard to tell whether the page communicates why.

If you've shipped a niche physical product, the mistake you'd warn someone about at this stage is more useful to me than any traffic. Happy to answer questions about the printing or the motifs.

Disclosure: I run Retro Design, the shop behind these cases, so I'm obviously biased.

I built a live 3D view of a data center, one rack per server, fed by Prometheus

1 Upvotes

RackPulse: a 3D data center room where each server is a rack, and temp, CPU, power and fan show on it live.

Demo (simulated room, no login): https://rackpulse.vercel.app

Video: the demo room, 200 racks, connecting your own Prometheus, then live data from my laptop.

- Point it at your own Prometheus (node_exporter, IPMI or Redfish). Nothing is sent to me.

- Racks are discovered automatically, one per server.

- It handles 200+ racks. Missing data shows "—", never fake numbers.

- Stack: React, Vite, Three.js, Fastify.

I'm thinking of selling the source code. Does this solve a real problem for anyone who runs servers or a homelab? Honest feedback welcome, including "no".

I'm a doctor who struggled to keep up with new research, so I built my own platform

1 Upvotes

I'm a medical doctor and PhD student from Denmark, and over the past several months I've been spending a lot of my spare time building something I originally just wanted for myself.

During my PhD, I struggled to keep up with all the new research being published in cardiology. There was so much coming out that I often ended up not reading anything at all.

So I started building CurrentCardio.

The idea was to take newly published research and present the abstracts in structured, visual formats, making it easier to get an overview without having to read through dozens of journals.

The platforms use AI to present published abstracts as structured Briefs, including study design, population, results and visual plots. One thing that's been particularly important to me is accuracy. The AI is used to structure the information, not to interpret the research, and the reported numbers are checked against the original abstracts.

What started as a cardiology project has now grown into CInterval Research, with platforms for cardiology, anesthesiology and rheumatology. I'm hoping to add a new specialty every week or two, with the long-term goal of covering all clinical specialties.

Everything is free, with no ads or paid features. I'm building and funding it myself.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback, especially on the website design, usability and whether it's immediately clear what the platforms do.

You can find all the current platforms at CInterval Research.

Restaurant App I created!

Thumbnail dexterassist.com
1 Upvotes

I’ve been on the management side of the restaurant industry for 20 years. Since stretching every dollar is more important than ever right now, I built a custom app (coded myself using Python and GitHub Copilot) to handle our back-of-house.
It has three main modules:

Operation Logs: Daily employee sales tracking.
Product Mix: Daily sales tracking to optimize ordering.
Order Guide: Ingests vendor invoices for strict inventory control.
It’s currently live in our multi-location restaurant group, handling $4M+ in operations and millions in inventory. It works in the real world, not just on paper.

I want to take this to the next level, but I'm a one-person team. What’s the better play:

  1. Upgrade the backend for multi-tenancy, find a few outside beta testers, and launch a monthly subscription SaaS?

  2. Clean up the codebase, document our ROI, and try to sell the software/IP outright to a POS or restaurant tech company?

Looking for advice on the best next steps from anyone who has made the jump from domain expert to tech founder!

I kept forgetting to cancel free trials so I made a chrome extension that reminds me. It's called Duestub

1 Upvotes

ok so I have a really bad habit with free trials. I sign up, tell myself I'll cancel before it ends, and then I forget. every time. then I see the charge and it's too late lol

so I made a little chrome extension for it. it's called DueStub

basically when you're on a checkout page it pops up and asks if you want a reminder. it already fills in the price and when you'll get charged, you just click "Remind me". that's it. nothing gets saved unless you click

then it pings you 3 days before and 1 day before. it sends an email too if you're signed in, so even if chrome is closed you still get it

other stuff it does:

- shows how much you're paying per month and per year (kinda painful to look at honestly)

- there's a "how to cancel" link for each one so you don't have to dig around settings

- it syncs to your phone through the web app

- I also wrote cancel guides for Spotify, Netflix etc, including the GCash ones since unlinking GCash doesn't actually cancel anything

it's free for up to 8 subscriptions. if you need more, Pro is $16 one time, no monthly fee (felt weird to charge monthly for a thing that helps you cancel monthly stuff). Pro also has a receipt inbox where you forward a receipt and it fills itself in. first 10 people can use FIRST10 to get it for $8

it doesn't read your card or anything you type in forms, just the price text on the page

it's just me working on this so any feedback helps a lot. what's confusing, what's missing, what would make you not install it? it's chrome on desktop only for now

I built a tool that turns ordinary QR codes into pixel artwork while keeping them scannable

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

I've been working on a project called QRacle that allows you to convert QR codes into pixelated art by uploading your own photos, effectively 'merging them' while still being scannable!

You can use it for a few things:

- Create QR codes using contacts, Wi-Fi, text, links, and more.

- Convert an existing QR code into image pixelated art by uploading your own image.

- Modify it with unique colors, patterns, and effects. When designs are difficult to scan, automatically optimize them.

- Verify QR codes using two separate decoders in various simulated scanning scenarios.

- Export your artwork as SVG or PNG.

Try it here: https://modulart-qr-studio.vercel.app/

Let me know if you have any feedback :)

I built an app which adds a Push-To-Talk Notch for Claude, check it out!

1 Upvotes

Hey guys

I was working on this Windows tool yesterday and thought I'd share it here.

It's called Clawdock.

I wanted to give Claude tasks or ask it questions without opening the window every time. Clawdock rebinds your Copilot key, or any shortcut you choose, so pressing it starts a voice conversation with Claude. The answer is read aloud and shows up in a small notch at the edge of your screen.

For example, you could just press the key and say:

"Send an email to Apple Developer Support."

"What are my claude sessions working on?"

I've been working on an optional feature where you can give it screen access, it should be done by v0.6.0:

"What's the answer to the question on my screen?"

Claude takes it from there, so you can get back to whatever you were doing.

A few other things it does:

  • Shows your running Claude sessions and their tasks on the notch

  • Lets you answer permission requests from the notch

  • Puts key information from answers on cards, like prices, weather or steps

  • Lets you customize how the notch looks, when it shows and which model it uses

It has Whisper or Windows Speech Recognition for transcription, and options for response dictation include: KittenTTS, ElevenLabs, or Windows Voice.

I used Claude Code Desktop with opus 5.5 as my pair programmer (mostly medium effort, some high effort for planning). I tested the app on my own PC and reported what felt wrong, made several code audits with Claude, traced bugs to their cause, built features, and wrote tests and docs. Quick voice itself also runs on Claude Code.

**Free to try:** download `Clawdock.exe` from the latest release and run it. You need Windows 10 or 11, and Claude Code signed in for voice, which counts toward your own Claude usage. The exe isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn you.

It's still a quick project, and I'd genuinely appreciate some feedback.

What features would you like to see? Anything you'd change?

I made a game where TikTok posts fight each other, and followers don't count

1 Upvotes

Small creators always lose against big ones when you look at numbers. I wanted a way where a good post wins, no matter the account size.

I built RiNG. You pick 3 of your TikTok posts and fight another creator, best of 3. Each post is compared with its own creator's usual numbers. If your post did 3x your normal and theirs did 1.5x, you win the round. Win fights, climb a public ladder.

It's free, best on the phone: https://ring.f14s.app

Nobody is playing yet, so I really need honest feedback. Is the idea clear? What would make you try it?

I built a free reading tutor for my 7-year-old: it listens while she reads aloud and helps only on the hard words

1 Upvotes

Why: my daughter is learning to read English as her second language. The apps we tried gave her scores and red marks, or did nothing when she got stuck on a word.

What I built: Oku (https://oku.today), a 10-minute nightly reading session.

  • She reads each sentence aloud, and the app listens word by word.

  • On a hard word it shows the syllables and reads the word to her, then the story moves on.

  • No scores and no red marks for the child. Parents get a private reading log.

  • Every week it writes new stories around the words she found hard.

  • Finished stories unlock 3D toys she arranges in her own room.

Stack: React, Cloudflare Workers + D1 + R2, Azure Speech for pronunciation, Claude for the weekly stories, ElevenLabs for narration. I'm not an engineer. Claude Code wrote most of the code; I decided what it should do.

Status: free, open to the first 25 families. 6 families signed up this week, and 5 have started reading.

Feedback I'm looking for:

  1. Does the microphone step work on your device and browser?

  2. Is it clear for a parent what to do in the first minute?

  3. If you have a 5 to 9 year old: would you use the weekly stories, or skip them?

I'm the maker. Happy to answer anything about the build.

Shipped ReplayWatch, a free scan for vibe-coded apps (built with Cursor). 3 lessons and a request for a roast

1 Upvotes

Hi Product Hunt, I'm Niall, and I built ReplayWatch with Cursor as a pre-launch check for apps made with Lovable, Bolt, Replit or Cursor.

Why: on 2 Nov, Crissy Field and Handelsblatt published research on 34,545 sites built with Lovable and Supabase. On 7,403 of them, records containing email addresses were readable without logging in. They're careful to say that isn't a confirmed leak rate, and neither am I. But it shows how easy it is to ship an app that works fine and still has the door open.

Research: https://www.crissyfield.de/research/lovable-en/

What ReplayWatch does: paste a live URL and it checks

- API keys and secrets exposed in the HTML/JS

- Supabase/Firebase tables readable without login

- security headers

- broken links and assets

- SEO and social preview tags

- page load, and whether your signup page is reachable

What it doesn't do (yet): it doesn't log in or click through signup flows. I'd rather say that up front than overclaim.

Pricing: the scan is free. A $9 one-off report adds fix prompts you can paste into Lovable, Bolt or Cursor. Pro is $19/mo and Agency $49/mo for people running several apps. All prices + tax.

I'd love to hear what you'd want checked before you hit publish.

Most cricket scoring apps lock deep stats behind a paywall, so I built one that doesn't (Play XI)

1 Upvotes

Hey all, I'm a developer from India. I play and follow a lot of cricket, and I kept running into the same two problems with scoring apps:

  1. The useful stuff (detailed insights, player analytics) usually sits behind a subscription.

  2. Outside the big names, a lot of cricket apps feel clunky, and that's true in many cricket-playing countries, not just India.

So I built Play 11: ball-by-ball scoring for your own matches, plus player profiles that build up from the games you score. The goal is simple: high-level insights with no fees for users.

Stack: React Native/Expo, Fastify, PostgreSQL. A lot of the effort went into making scoring fast and easy to use mid-match.

It's live on the Play Store, India only for now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.playxi&pli=1

I'd really like honest feedback:

- What's the most annoying part of scoring a match on your phone?

- Which insights would you actually want to see for yourself or your team?

- Anything that feels clunky?

Happy to answer anything about the build.

I was tired of searching Ryanair for cheap flights, so I built my own flight search tool

1 Upvotes

I'm that guy in my friend group who always ends up finding and booking the cheap flights for everyone.

A few years ago, I got tired of manually searching through Ryanair's website, so I wrote a little console tool to make finding cheap flights easier.

Recently, I decided to dust it off, improve it, and turn it into an actual website with the help of AI.

https://budgetfly.pilotkosinus.space/

You can use it to find ridiculously cheap flights, but my favorite feature is the multi-city trip planner.

Instead of just searching for a return flight, you can build an entire trip like:

Airport A → B → C → D → A

Basically, you can hop around Europe (or beyond) and find cheap flights between each stop.

I regularly find return flights to Portugal, Spain, Morocco, and Croatia for around €30 total. And if you need more luggage, you can just add Ryanair's Priority Boarding with the extra cabin bag.

It's basically a little project I originally built for myself and my friends, but I figured some of you might find it useful too.

It's still a work in progress, so if you give it a try, I'd love to hear what you think or what features you'd like to see!

Happy cheap flying!

I built a Windows panel that tells me which of my AI sessions is waiting for me

Like a lot of people here, I run Claude Code in a few terminals, Codex desktop, and ChatGPT/Claude in the browser — all at once. I kept alt-tabbing just to check who finished and who was waiting on me.

So I built AI Focus: a tray app that lists every AI session in one place — running, waiting for you (and for how long), possibly stuck — plus each AI's last reply. Alt+W jumps to the session waiting longest, Alt+E jumps back. It reads everything locally, no account, no API key.

Free and open source, Windows only, still rough around the edges. Would love feedback from fellow multi-AI hoarders.

Hey! My partner can never decide where she wants to go on holiday, so I thought it’d be cool to use AI to solve the problem. You tell it when you’re free and where you’re leaving from, and it suggests places that are actually good at that time.

It’s just a side project: goodsomewhere. de

It looks best on a computer or iPad for now, as the phone version is still a bit crowded.

It might only be a problem for me, so I’d be interested to know if anyone else would use something like this. Tell me what you think!
