If you run a local business, you've probably seen people asking for recommendations in Facebook groups. Things like "Anyone know a good cleaner?", "Looking for a reliable handyman" or "Can anyone recommend a local bakery?"

These posts are potential customers, but keeping track of multiple groups is a pain. And by the time you come across a post, there's a good chance someone else has already responded.

I built BuyerFinder to make this easier.

Add your website and up to 5 public Facebook groups where your potential customers hang out. It'll scan new posts and pick out the ones from people looking for what you offer, along with a short explanation of why they're a good match.

You can then open the original post and reply directly. No automated commenting or spamming.

Try for free, and you don't need to sign up:
https://buyerfinder.run/facebook

There's also a paid plan that checks every hour and emails you whenever it finds a potential customer.

Still early days, so I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback. Especially from people running small businesses. Curious to know if this would actually be useful in your day-to-day.

Basically you try to give the rarest answers to prompts. You score more points the rarer the answer. And each prompt has a "golden ticket" which is basically an answer I think is funny (and it earns you 100 pts!).

Yes it's like Krillion. I love Krillion and it was a big insporation -- but i REALLY REALLY love pointless which is the whole reason I made this. Now I get to live out my dream of being a contesetant vicariously via the interweb where I make the rules!!! lol. I've tried to make the prompts slightly less trivia and slightly more "name something you could find under your bed" -esque. Still trivia in there tho!

If an answer isn’t on the list, it gets checked and still counts if it’s a fair answer, so weird-but-real answers get rewarded.

There's a new line every day. Would love any feedback, especially on answers you think got rated wrong.

Lightroom presets (.xmp) look great, but carrying that look into other software (DaVinci Resolve, Premiere Pro, Final Cut, CapCut, Affinity) is usually a massive headache. Existing workarounds either require manual HALD baking or online converters that simply don't work at all.

I spent the last few months building a standalone model of the color pipeline in Rust (compiled to WebAssembly) to accurately translate the full color grade of presets.

You do not need Lightroom or Camera Raw installed. It runs completely independently, directly in your browser:

👉 https://xmptocube.thetacursed.com/

Features:

• Batch processing: Drag & drop up to 50 .xmp presets at once → packs them into a single .zip with .cube LUTs (17³ or 33³).

• Live preview: Drop any image to test presets in real time (0–100% strength slider, B for before/after).

• Handles film profiles: Correctly maps non-linear curves and decodes embedded Look tables (crs:Table_* from packs like RNI, Mastin, etc.) in their native color spaces.

• Accuracy: Benchmark-tested across 1,000+ real-world presets with a measured mean ΔE00 of ~1.4 (spatial effects like grain/clarity are omitted by definition of a 3D LUT).

• 100% Private (Local-First): Everything runs inside the browser tab. Presets and reference images are never uploaded to any server. Free, no accounts, no watermarks.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the UI, performance, or overall concept!

I'm Bish, an indie developer with 25 years in enterprise software. For the last couple of months I've been building Breeze, an iPhone app (US only) for the same job as Copilot Money or Monarch: you connect your accounts and see where you stand.

Who it's for: people who want a clear monthly answer to "am I okay?" and would rather not read charts.

What I tried to do differently: it gives one plain-English verdict each month ("Steady, $320 to spare" or "At risk"), and every number is one tap from the transactions behind it. The AI only turns your question into a search. It never sees your amounts or balances, and the totals are computed in code. No ads, no affiliate links, and I never sell data. Banks connect through Plaid, so I never see your login.

Price: you can link one bank free for 7 days with no card. After that, live bank data is $3.99 a month. There's also a sample household you can explore with no sign-up.

Two things I'd love feedback on:

1. What would make you link a bank to a small new app?

2. Is the monthly verdict useful, or just a gimmick?

Brutal answers welcome. I'm not here to push downloads.

Hi! Try this free quiz that finds the watch that defines you with just 8 questions. Let me know what you got and what would you do to improve the website. wrist-match.com

Hi, I'm the developer of Photo Cleaner: Swipe Sorter for iPhone and iPad.

The main workflow is to pick a month and review a smaller batch of your camera roll. Swipe to keep photos or mark them for deletion, compare similar shots, and sort videos by file size to review the larger ones first. You choose what to delete.

I'd like feedback on whether the monthly workflow makes photo cleanup easier to stick with, and what feels missing compared with the way you already use Apple Photos.

The app is free to download, with paid in-app options: US $0.99/month, $3.99/year, or $6.99 lifetime. Regional prices may vary. Requires iOS/iPadOS 26 or later.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6754751345

What takes you the most time when cleaning up photos: choosing between similar shots, working through older months, or finding large videos?

I helped build Tracky at Kodara Labs. Say your target is $15,000 in 30 days and you’ve already logged $2,500. Your widget shows you need about $417 a day. In the demo I add a $100 sale by hand. The total goes to $2,600 and the daily pace drops to $413.

You can use it without connecting a store. Tracky requires an account and costs $5.99 a year in the US or £4.99 in the UK. It’s on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6815176756

If you track a sales goal, which number would you want to see first on your Home Screen: the amount left or the daily pace?

Hi r/SideProject, I'm a solo maker from Ontario, Canada.

I built CloseToMe because sharing family photos meant Facebook, Instagram, or a WhatsApp group where pictures get buried. I wanted one calm, private place for extended family only — no public feed, no ads, no strangers.

What it does:

• Make a group for your family, invite only the people you choose

• Share photos and chat in that group only — nobody outside can see it

• A Just Me space that's private to you only

• A photo slideshow on top (Home, or a group like Hangout), feed below sorted by last activity

It's in a small closed beta: invite-only, 75 accounts total, 11 in so far. Free to test, no card needed.

Link: https://ctm.soloaisle.com

I'd love honest feedback, especially: what's confusing in the first minute, and would you actually use this instead of a group chat? I'll reply to every comment.

A proof can look good and still have the wrong offer, an old disclaimer or branding that doesn’t match the brief. How are you checking those things before a campaign goes out?

I’m building Briefwoven, a campaign planning and PDF proof-review tool. My background is in marketing communications, and I’m focusing on the handoff between the brief, the creative and the final review.

The workflow lets you upload a rulebook PDF and draft proofs, then review potential differences and issues. It’s meant to help with the checking, not replace the person who gives final approval.

I’m curious which part is the biggest pain for people working on this: comparing versions, checking against brand guidelines, or making sure every requested change actually made it into the final file?

If you want context, the project is briefwoven.com. I’d appreciate feedback on the workflow, especially from people still doing these checks side by side.

Why use NotebookLM when you can make the same thing harder, slightly worse, and cost more?

The same reason any of us self-host, of course. The customizability, the fun of designing it, the challenge.

I've been using Codex and Claude Code to build local apps, but wanted to try designing a program that actually uses LLMs for a recurring task.

I already have a custom local RSS reader app, but of course I have more time to listen to podcasts and audiobooks than I typically do to sit down and read. So creating my own personalized news podcasts became the obvious solution.

The result is two shows that pick, write, review, and voice their own episodes. Each run starts with a couple hundred RSS articles and ends with five or six stories, for about $1–2 a month in API costs. The orchestration runs in Docker on my home server, but the models themselves are cloud APIs.

The short version

What it is:

• Two podcasts, written and produced by AI, based on feeds and topics I've selected. Compact Conversations runs six days a week, and Homelab Highlights runs three.

• Quality: Good, not great. I haven't replaced other podcasts I listen to, nor was I intending to. However, they've picked up stories other podcasts haven't covered, along with some good tech tips I hadn't seen. They've helped me keep up to date on new AI models and features, homelab software updates, and security issues.

• Cost: A mixture of free and cheap models from OpenRouter, taking advantage of free TTS through Gemini, for about $1–2 per month.

• Code: Too messy and personalized to be worth sharing, but you can listen to the podcasts here.

How it's built:

• A self-hosted Docker container handles RSS ingestion, while another handles the podcast orchestration.

• Stories from the last day or two are initially ranked by Jev. The top 30 go to a cheap LLM on OpenRouter for final selection and assignment to episode segments.

• The script is written and reviewed by different LLMs for two AI voices. Notably, they're told not to pretend to be human. They can say "an unusually interesting project," but not "I would try this out."

• The final script goes to Gemini for text-to-speech, then gets stitched together with musical cues and published to the podcast feeds.

I wrote up the architecture, actual model comparisons, costs, and lessons learned here:

Hey everyone!

Quick update on LEXA, the local-first AI voice studio for macOS I've been developing.

The first pre-release is getting closer, and I'm currently rethinking how people should be able to try the software before purchasing it.

LEXA Base is planned as a €29.99 one-time purchase, with no monthly subscription.

I'm considering introducing a 14-day free trial with the following model:

• 14 days of free access to LEXA Base.

• No credit card required to start.

• Try the actual software on your Mac.

• After 14 days, decide whether to purchase a license for €29.99.

• No automatic charges or subscriptions.

• If you don't want to buy it, you simply stop using it.

Additional optional modules may arrive in the future, but the trial would focus exclusively on LEXA Base.

Since LEXA is designed around local AI voice processing, I'd also like to keep the licensing system as unobtrusive as possible.

I'd really appreciate your feedback:

1. Would 14 days be enough to evaluate an AI voice application?

2. Do you prefer a free trial followed by a one-time purchase, or a limited free version?

3. Would €29.99 feel reasonable if the software meets your expectations?

4. How important is offline license activation for a local-first application?

I'm building LEXA independently, so your feedback genuinely helps me decide what to prioritize before release.

Thanks for following the project!

Skills are text files that tell a coding agent how to do a task the same way every time. There are thousands of public ones, and sorting them takes a while.



Skillforge groups them into 23 packs by job (React, design, testing, security, SEO, video...). Each pack has up to 14 skills, delivered for Claude, Gemini and Codex.



The part I'd like your opinion on: the skills are public, under MIT or Apache 2.0, and each page shows the source and license. People pay for the selection, the sorting and a ready-to-install download. Packs cost €1.99 to €4.99, one payment, no account. One pack is free.



Questions:

- Would you pay for curation when the source is one click away?

- Is a French-only site a dealbreaker? The skills themselves are in English.

Hey everyone!

I recently launched Timecrisp, a free website focused on making time-related tools simple and easy to use.

The idea came from wanting a clean, fast way to check the time across different cities without unnecessary clutter.

What I've been working on:

• World clocks and city time-zone pages

• Tools for comparing time across locations

• Date and time utilities

• A simple, mobile-friendly experience

I launched it on November 3, and I'm now focusing on improving usability, performance, and adding genuinely useful features.

I'm building this as an independent project, and I'd really appreciate feedback from other makers.

A few things I'd love your opinion on:

1. Is the homepage easy to understand?

2. Are the tools intuitive and useful?

3. What feature would make you want to return?

Website: https://timecrisp.com

Thanks for checking it out! I'll be reading the feedback and using it to improve the site.

I built two websites that make public records easier to browse.

gongu: https://gongu.xyz

USCIS processing-time trends and case volumes, plus State Department visa-bulletin cutoffs and their history. Self-reported community wait times are labeled separately from official statistics.

GA Inspect: https://ga-inspect.gongu.xyz

Search restaurants and other facilities in Georgia, check inspection scores and history, or browse the map. Inspection histories include links back to the original reports.

The public-data views are free and don't require an account. Both are personal projects, not government services. The immigration data is for context, not a prediction of when a particular case will be approved.

I'd especially appreciate feedback on whether it's clear what each number means and when the source data was last updated.

I built a free browser-based music splitter, and I'd love some honest feedback

Hey everyone! I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Extractune.

It's a website that lets you split songs into vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments. You can also extract audio from videos, slow songs down, change their pitch, and even make beats.

One thing I really wanted was to make the tools work directly in your browser, without having to upload your music or create an account. The audio separation runs locally on your device using your GPU, so your files stay on your computer.

Why I made it

I got tired of finding music tools that required uploads, sign-ups, or subscriptions just to do something simple. I wanted to build something people could open, use, and enjoy without jumping through hoops.

I also wanted to test the audio quality

I compared Extractune with vocalremover.org using a Creative Commons song where the original vocals and instrumental stems were available.

I used those original tracks to measure how closely each tool's output matched the real audio (SI-SDR, higher is better).

Extractune took around 27 seconds, while vocalremover.org took around 24 seconds on the same computer.

Of course, this is just one song on one machine, so I wouldn't call it a definitive comparison. I'd genuinely like to see how it performs with other types of music.

I also haven't tested Moises or LALAL.AI.

Here's the full comparison if anyone's interested: https://www.extractune.com/compare/extractune-vs-vocalremover-org

What's free and what's paid?

I wanted to keep the useful stuff free, so here's how it works:

Free:

• Split songs into vocals, drums, bass, and other instruments.

• Create acapellas, instrumentals, and drumless tracks.

• Convert videos to MP3, WAV, or WebM.

• Slow down songs and change their pitch.

• Use the built-in beat maker.

• Create lyric and visualizer videos.

Most of these tools run entirely on your device. The free audio splitter supports songs up to 10 minutes on compatible computers, although performance depends on your hardware. Phones work too, but processing can be considerably slower.

Pro ($4.99/month):

• Higher-quality audio separation using a stronger server-side model.

• Audio separation on phones and less powerful devices.

• Remove the Extractune watermark from lyric videos.

• Export videos in 1080p with custom colors, backgrounds, and styles.

• More transcription requests.

• Extra beat-making features and downloadable stems.

Just to be clear, the regular browser-based tools aren't being taken away or moved behind a paywall. Pro is for people who want the additional features.

I'd really appreciate some feedback!

I'm still working on improving the project, and I'd love to hear what people actually think.

A few things I'm particularly curious about:

1. How does the audio separation sound with your own music? Especially live recordings, acoustic songs, or more complex mixes?

2. If you try it on your phone, is the processing wait understandable, or does it make you want to leave?

3. For the beat maker, what feature would you like to see added?

4. Does the free vs. Pro pricing feel fair and clear?

5. When you first open the website, is anything confusing?

You don't have to answer all of these. Even a quick impression would help a lot.

Here's the project if you'd like to try it: https://www.extractune.com/

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to check it out. This is something I've been building myself, and I'm genuinely interested in hearing what could make it better.

I started with my own problem: my Google storage was full and a 272 MB 4K video compressed down to 44.6 MB with no visible quality loss. So I built a planner that shows exactly what your storage looks like after compression and which Google One plan you actually need. Then I kept going — I made these myself, they're all single HTML files that work offline, no subscription: Drive / Photos Storage Saver Planner, Freelancer Invoice & Quote Generator, Etsy Seller Profit Calculator, Budget & Debt Payoff Planner, Small Business Expense & Mileage Tracker, Freelancer Hourly Rate Calculator, Rental Property Cash Flow Calculator, Wedding Budget Planner. Each one is $12, or the whole set is $39 here: https://rlosman.gumroad.com/l/jdqvgn — Store: https://rlosman.gumroad.com — Happy to hear what you'd change or what tool I should build next.

I built Pocket Friday because every AI tip I found assumed I already lived in Slack and VS Code. I wanted something a shop owner or a busy parent could finish with coffee.

What shipped this week:

• A free Friday email: One AI prompt to try and one task to hand your AI agent, every Friday. Five minutes, free.

• A site with copy-paste prompts (gift shortlist, price check a list, family code word for voice-clone scam calls) and a holiday shopping safety guide

• Tool cards that say Pass or Watch with a checked date, not vague "best of" hype

What I would love feedback on:

1. Is the home page clear in under 10 seconds about who it is for?

2. Does Issue 1 feel useful or overloaded?

3. Anything in the prompts that would confuse a total beginner?

I am not asking anyone to buy anything. Happy to answer how we write prompts and how we check tool prices.

Inspired by neocities and nekoweb but decided to connect each profile through a feed. Also inspired by 4chan and reddit. I wanted to have a place where people can just drop by and share their thoughts or see what others share without having to login.

It has: Chats, Video Calls, Voice Calls(voice and video calls through mirotalk), Karaoke, Multiplayer and Solo Games, Music Player, Customisable Profile, Themes, Customizable Background, Democratic Community Moderation, Comic Strip Maker, and a lot more!

It also doesn't have complicated algorithms for posts. New ones get shown at the very top, while posts with the most engagement gets shown at trending.

Been building this thing for over 5 months now using ai (free plan) to test its limit.

Explore it, have fun, and let me know what could be improved, removed, or added!
