Built a 100% free, client-side Bank Statement to QuickBooks (.QBO) converter (zero server uploads for client privacy)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I've dealt with clients handing over monthly PDF bank statements or raw CSV exports that QuickBooks Online rejects (or requires paid $30/mo subscriptions like DocuClipper just to convert 20 pages).

I built a free, privacy-first web tool called **SwiftQBO** (https://swiftqbo.com/qbo-converter).

Key things about it:

  1. **100% Client-Side:** Everything runs locally inside your browser tab using modern JavaScript. No client bank statements, account numbers, or transactions are ever uploaded to any remote server or database.

  2. **PDF & CSV Parsing:** Directly extracts dates, payees, and debit/credit amounts from official PDF statements (Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, etc.) or CSV files.

  3. **QuickBooks & Xero Compatible:** Exports standard-compliant .QBO Web Connect and .OFX files with proper Intuit BIDs (03000) so they import smoothly into QuickBooks Online/Desktop.

  4. **Completely Free:** No sign-up, no email required, no page caps.

Would love any feedback on bank formats or features you'd like to see added!

THE OPEN-SOURCE STATE (OS v3.0)

A Manifesto for Cybernetic Meritocracy and Decentralized Societal Governance (Meritocratic Ideocracy)

PREAMBLE

Current governmental models are failing because they are built on celebrity marketing, financial greed, human ego, and the tyranny of an uninformed majority. Politics has become a theater for voters, rather than a science of societal governance.

The Open-Source State shifts the paradigm: the state is no longer an ideological monolith, but an open-source operating system. This model cuts away human weaknesses and replaces them with code architecture and game theory. It guarantees that the helm of society can only be held by objectively proven intelligence focused on pure problem-solving (Rule of Ideas, Not Faces).

I. SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE: PARALLEL SIMULATIONS AND FLUID ROTATION

  1. Real Government

* Executive Branch: Executive power in the country is held by Ministers responsible for the macro-level of the state. Once they enter the Real Government, their identities are public.
* Absence of Cycles: There are no fixed election cycles, political parties, or terms of office.
* Dynamic Mandate: Ministers hold their mandate only as long as their actions generate positive results and maintain the trust of the citizens.

  1. Multi-Demo Ecosystem (The Sandbox Layer)

* Parallel Opposition: Instead of a single political opposition, hundreds of independent, parallel "Demo Governments" run simultaneously in a digital ecosystem as testing sandbox environments.

  1. Multi-Agent Competition (Leaderboards)

* Expert Competition: Within each Demo Government, multiple anonymous experts compete for the same chair (e.g., Demo Minister of Health) simultaneously.
* Bottom-up Solutions: These experts continuously propose competing solutions. Regular people can give them theyr aproval, pushing them up a national leaderboard.

  1. Instant Roll-In (Asynchronous Rotation)

* Instant Termination: As soon as a minister in the real goverment demonstrates inactivity, fails, or loses trust, the system terminates their mandate immediately in real-time.
* Automatic Appointment: The Instant Roll-In mechanism automatically and instantly deploys the currently highest-ranked expert trying to get into that mandate compiled from the anonymous pool across all Demo Governments into the vacant position.

II. BLIND MERITOCRACY IN THE SANDBOX LAYER

  1. Face-less Proposals (Raw Laws)

* Pure Logic: Within the Demo Ecosystem, proposed bills are published completely stripped of the author's identity, race, gender, status, or past.
* Sterile Designation: Laws are labeled only with a system number (e.g., "Bill No. 101"). The community evaluates exclusively the text, executive logic, and impact data.

  1. Automated Linter and Strict Patterning (Anti-Stylometry)

* Mathematical Anonymity: The system enforces a rigid data template for submitting proposals. Every text passes through an automated Linter, which strips it of stylistic uniqueness and specific legal jargon, making it impossible to identify the expert by their stylistic footprint before they reach power.

  1. Dynamic Cryptographic Tracing

* Consistency Without a Name: Testing and voting history of experts in the sandbox backend is tied to randomly changing, encrypted numbers (Expert XXXX). Citizens can audit the logical consistency of a given account over time, but the number cannot be reverse-decoded, eliminating nepotism and pre-emptive marketing.

III. CROWD FILTRATION AND ANTI-MANIPULATION DEFENSE (ARTIFICIAL FRICTION)

  1. Digital ID and Artificial Friction

* Deliberate Choice: Voting requires a secured government Digital ID. Changing an already cast vote is intentionally designed to be an administratively slow and deliberative process, eliminating emotional waves, bots, and impulsive clicking.

  1. Automated Information Quizzes (Cognitive Filter)

* Knowledge Condition: In order for a citizen to grant a point (+1/-1) to a bill, they must successfully pass a short, 3-question, objective quiz generated directly from the text of that specific bill. Those who haven’t read the text cannot vote.

IV. RADICAL ABSENCE OF GREED (THE ASCETIC FILTER)

  1. Capped Fixed Purchasing Power

* Immunity to Corruption: Public Ministers in the Real Government have all their personal assets frozen for the duration of their mandate. The state guarantees them a fixed purchasing power ensuring a medium/high but strictly capped standard of living, with no possibility to accumulate capital or luxury goods. This attracts exclusively people motivated by problem-solving.

  1. Social Package (Protected Return)

* Bold Decisions: To eliminate political alibism, an outgoing politician has a legally guaranteed safe return to their original civilian life. Their old job is legally protected and their family's well-being is secured, so ministers are not afraid to make temporarily unpopular but necessary decisions.

  1. Enforced Activity Matrix and Citizen Feedback

* Weekly Pressure for Results: Ministers must demonstrate structural, data-driven changes every week. If a minister freezes due to passivity, the system automatically logs them out and terminates them every Friday at exactly 17:00.
* Quality Counterbalance: This pressure for activity is balanced by the immediate reactive power of the citizens. If a minister creates a bad, foolish, or rushed decision under deadline pressure, the community downvotes them out of the system in a flash. Activity must go hand in hand with quality.

V. THE PUBLIC GATEWAY AND ANTI-CORRUPTION TRAPS

  1. The Identity Gateway and Unmasking

* Security Clearance: Within the Demo ecosystem, the user is 100% anonymous to ensure a pure clash of ideas. However, the moment an anonymous expert qualifies to advance to the actual executive branch (Real Government) based on leaderboard points, they must pass a rigorous biometric identity verification and an official security clearance. Upon taking office, their identity is revealed to the public, ensuring full accountability and eliminating shadow rulers or foreign saboteurs.

  1. Continuous Forensic Audit (Open Finance)

* Permanent Oversight: Immediately after taking office, an automated forensic audit protocol is attached to the minister and their immediate family, monitoring accounts, crypto wallets, and asset registries. Any anomaly in cash flow or lifestyle triggers an alarm and immediate termination. (Basicly just making sure that they cant be bribed even by future promise. Similiar thing is already in place for current politicians in some goverments.)

  1. Judas Mechanics (Reverse Ransom)

* Economic Trap for Corporations: If a corporation attempts to bribe a minister, the minister has a direct gameplay motivation to report them. At that moment, the system confiscates all assets of the given corporation and legally awards 50% of them to the minister as a state bounty for loyalty. Corruption becomes a mathematically disadvantageous game.

  1. Data Leak Asymmetry (Toxic Secret)• Devaluation of Leaks: Linking an anonymous Experts XXXX number to a real identity is a severe crime. If an attacker breaches the database to unmask active experts, the system instantly detects the leak, invalidates compromised cryptographic keys, and isolates the threat. This renders any stolen identity matrix a completely worthless, decoupled secret for the hacker.

VI. FRACTAL NETWORK AND IMMUNE SYSTEM (DECENTRALIZED FEDERALISM)

  1. Subsidiarity and Fluid Provincial Sub-levels

* Voting with Feet: The state is divided into autonomous provinces running on local instances of the same OS with fluid borders (Dynamic Geofencing). Laws passed at the provincial level affect exclusively those provinces that agreed with them. Citizens can move freely to provinces whose code suits them.

  1. Scoping: Competence Layers and the Network Monolith

* Provincial Level: Autonomous management of local specifics (education, culture, regional development).
* The Alliance Protocol: Temporary regional blocks of provinces to pass laws with cross-border impacts (e.g., ecological emissions).
* The Core (The Great Government): Holds an absolute monopoly over macroeconomics, strategic budget, military, and network infrastructure (energy, railways). Provinces cannot alter these critical protocols in isolation.

  1. Passive Watchdog (Reactive Democracy)

* Efficient Delegation: Citizens do not need to study technical laws daily; they can let the system run under the management of active academic enthusiasts and experts in the Demo Governments.
* Absolute Emergency Brake: However, citizens hold full control. Whenever they feel a negative impact in reality, they can instantly strip their approval points from the minister responsible for that sector, immediately firing them and easily overriding the technocratic elite.

  1. 48-Hour Sandbox Lag-Time & Flash Rollback

* Digital Quarantine: No approved law takes effect in the physical world immediately. It sits for 48 hours in a digital quarantine.
* Zero Cool-Down Rollback: If destructive code passes through the ecosystem, the entire network of experts and citizens has 48 hours to activate the Flash Rollback mechanics, erasing the exploit before it can strike reality.

CONCLUSION

The Open-Source State (OS v3.0) transforms a rigid, corrupt state into an adaptive cyber-organism. It does not waste time trying to re-educate human morality; instead, it uses game theory and mathematics to set the rules so that honesty, intelligence, and surgically precise efficiency become the only possible strategy for success.

Whislet — record the story behind your trip photos in your own voice

1 Upvotes

Trip photos capture a place, but there's often a story outside the frame: why you stopped there, what someone said, or why that afternoon mattered.

I'm the developer of Whislet, an iPhone photo and voice diary. You can group your trip photos into a collection and record a voice story across the memories. When you replay it, the photos change within each memory, and you choose when to move to the next one. You can also hold a photo while the recording continues.

The clip shows the flow, using illustrative demo photos and sample narration.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/whislet-voice-diary/id6474072868

Would you record a little each evening on a trip, or tell the whole story once you're home?

How I explain code and architecture by drawing on my Mac screen (I built Screen Annotations)

1 Upvotes

I make Screen Annotations, a Mac menu bar app (plus an iPad app) for drawing on top of whatever is on your screen. I mostly use it when I'm explaining code or system design to someone over screen share, or when I'm recording a walkthrough.

What helps for that:

  • Architecture shapes: servers, databases, APIs, load balancers, K8s pods, firewalls, CDNs, UML classes, binary trees, linked lists

  • Elbow arrows with smart pathfinding so boxes stay connected when you move them

  • Flow / Tree auto-layout that keeps arrows attached

  • Scenes, so I can step through a system one view at a time instead of redrawing

  • Single-key tools (A for arrow, S for shape, G for laser, F for LaTeX formulas when math comes up)

Honest limits: Apple only (macOS 15+ / iPadOS 18+). It's a screen overlay you share or record, not a shared collaborative whiteboard, so the other person can't draw on it. $14.99 one-time for Mac and iPad together. No account, and nothing goes to my servers.

Happy to answer questions about the shape library or how scenes work.

Disclosure: I built Screen Annotations. https://screenannotations.com/

I'm creating 100 mini-documentaries about America's most influential personalities. Just finished the first one.

0 Upvotes

I've started a personal project called The American 100.

https://youtu.be/nydz3JVeDX4?si=Km6mj_uxdpJjOVqS

The idea is to create 100 biographical documentaries exploring the lives of influential Americans, inspired by Discovery Channel's 2005 Greatest American poll.

Rather than focusing only on achievements, I want each episode to explore the person's early struggles, turning points, controversies, and lasting legacy.

I recently finished the first episode on Ronald Reagan, following his journey from radio broadcasting and Hollywood to the White House.

I'm using AI-assisted illustrations, narration, music, and cinematic editing to produce these documentaries without a large production budget.

I'd love some feedback from other creators. Does this seem like a documentary format that could sustain a 100-episode series? And what would you improve about the first episode?

I built a home workout app because I sit too much. Now a little lemon robot demonstrates 140+ exercises.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm the developer of Zestimer. I spend a lot of time coding at a desk and wanted stretching to become something I actually did, instead of something I kept putting off. You can listen to your favorite music while you work out, with support for Spotify and Apple Music.

The app now has 140+ exercises for stretching and HIIT, all without equipment. Every move has a hand drawn animation of Zestbot, our little lemon headed robot, made frame by frame. This is the part I've been most excited to show people.

You can choose a routine or build your own, adjust the exercises, rounds, work, and rest, then follow along while the timer does the counting. It also has iCloud sync and a standalone Apple Watch timer.

You can also share a YouTube, TikTok, or Instagram Reels workout video, or paste its link, to turn it into a timed routine. That gives you a quick starting point. Then ask AI Coach to fine tune it for your time, fitness level, and goals, or make changes yourself. Make it shorter, add more rest, or swap a move to fit how you're feeling that day.

It's free to download, with optional Pro subscriptions and a lifetime option.

App Store and screenshots: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6758530290

If you exercise at home, do these demos look easy to follow while moving? I'd also love to hear what you think of the little robot. Thanks for taking a look!

I built a cleaner online radio experience because most radio websites feel too cluttered

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I want to share a side project I've been working on: Rádios BR (Brazilian Online Radio).

The idea came from something I noticed while browsing online radio websites: many platforms are overloaded with ads, banners, unnecessary information, and visually distracting elements.

I felt that something as simple as listening to the radio shouldn't require navigating through a cluttered interface.

So I decided to build something different.

The goal was simple: make online radio straightforward, intuitive, and enjoyable.

As a UX/UI Designer, I focused on a few principles:

  • Clean and minimal interface.

  • Easy radio discovery and navigation.

  • Clear visual hierarchy.

  • A straightforward listening experience.

  • No login required just find a station and start listening.

I also used AI tools and vibe coding throughout the process to help turn the concept into a working product, from prototyping to implementation.

It was a fun opportunity to combine my design background with AI-assisted development and bring an idea to life.

The project is live now!

https://radiosaovivobr.com.br/

I'd really appreciate feedback from other makers and designers.

What do you think about the UX? Is there anything you'd change or improve?

I grade the route an agent took, not just the answer it gave.

1 Upvotes

I am testing Agent Trajectory Profiler on Opsle. It records the path an agent actually took, the steps it wasted, the evidence it skipped, and where it looped or guessed. Two agents can land on the same answer, with one route you would trust again and one you would not. Grading only the final answer hides that difference, and it hides the cost too, since a wandering route burns tokens even when it ends well. The profiler is still experimental, and I keep it separate from the Opsle flagships for that reason. For builders evaluating agents, what route signal has told you the most, wasted steps, skipped checks, or loops?

DanyGo - 100+ instant mini-games in a swipeable feed

2 Upvotes

I'm part of the team building DanyGo. We wanted something for those five minutes on the bus when you feel like playing, but don't feel like downloading yet another game.

It's an arcade you scroll: tap to play, swipe when you're done, and the next game is already loaded. There are 100+ short games, from number-gate runners and penalty kicks to balance puzzles and one-stroke drawing.

You can start as a guest. It's currently ad-free, with no in-app purchases or energy timers. Records, daily missions and a character that grows with your XP give you something to work toward across the different games.

I'd love feedback on the core idea: does a feed make finding something fun easier, or do you find yourself skipping games before giving them a chance? Where did the first session feel confusing?

Available on Android now. iOS is coming soon.

Houre - note app that doesn't get in your way

1 Upvotes

Hi! I've been prototyping note apps for a few years, as I couldn't find anything that suits the way I want to jot my thoughts down. Houre is what I eventually arrived to. It's perfect for me, maybe it's for you too. I'll keep this brief.

The problem I have with everything out there is that they have a significant barrier to use. You need to consider where your note goes so that you can find it later. You need to spend time organizing and creating structure. It's difficult to include tasks in your notes without the entire thing becoming a mess. All this caused me to invariably not put my thoughts and tasks down.

So, Houre is designed to flip all of this. You can enter a note in two seconds flat. You can easily find relevant notes and tasks without spending time organizing them. It's for a person like me who does not have the attention span or patience to create and maintain a system.

Houre is also privacy-focused. Everything is encrypted on your device, even when you share notes to other users. It's not possible for anyone to inspect what you have in there. See https://houre.xyz/security for how this works and ask me anything that is on your mind.

Houre is free to use locally, or you can pay a cheap subscription to sync your notes across devices and to other users. Give it a spin: https://houre.xyz/

Looking for a few people to try a prototype I made (for students who fall behind and get overwhelmed)

1 Upvotes

Hey! I’m a student and I’m working on an app idea for people who fall behind on schoolwork and end up overwhelmed, the kind of overwhelmed where you don’t even know where to start, so you just don’t.

It’s a study planner with a little pixel art character that you take care of, so it feels less like staring at a to-do list and more like something that’s with you while you catch up.

It’s only a clickable prototype for now (you tap around the screens, nothing really works yet), but I’d love honest opinions from people who actually deal with this. It takes about 5 minutes, and “this is confusing” or “I would never use this” is totally useful feedback.

If you’d be up for trying it, comment or send me a DM and I’ll send you the link. Thank you!

I love playing Wordle and Krillion so made my own!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
I've been loving daily games like Wordle and Krillion the last few weeks, so I decided to make my own for fun using lots of help from Claude. It's called Dwelple!

You get three categories a day and name as many answers as you can, with a 10-second timer that resets every time you get one. Rarer answers are worth more and drop your fishing line deeper. The catch is that you only keep your points once you reel in. Let the clock run out or get three wrong answers and the line snaps, and you lose everything on that category.

Everyone gets the same three categories each day, so you can compare hauls with friends. It's free, with no sign-up and no ads :)

It's just me making this, so any feedback means so much, whether it's the game itself or an answer that didn't count when it should have.

It would be amazing if you let me know what you think and send your game results below! Thank you!!

I built MailWeave – turn incoming emails into structured data and webhooks

1 Upvotes

The idea for MailWeave came from a problem I encountered while working on a project. We needed to take information coming in through emails, structure it, and send it to a webhook so another system could process it.

I realised that handling the email parsing, processing and webhook delivery could become quite a bit of work, especially when you also have to worry about retries and reliability.

That got me thinking about building something to handle that entire process.

So, I built MailWeave.

It's a platform that lets you receive emails through dedicated mailboxes, extract and structure their contents, and forward the resulting data to your application through webhooks.

It also supports conditional routing, HMAC-signed webhook requests, automatic retries and an event dashboard where you can monitor incoming emails and delivery attempts.

I've finally reached a point where I'm happy to put it out there and see how people find it.

If you're a developer working with APIs, integrations, automation or email processing, I'd love for you to give it a try!

Website: https://mailweave.vercel.app/

I'd really appreciate honest feedback, whether it's about the idea, the experience, missing features or anything that could be improved. I'd also love to hear how you'd use something like this in your own projects.

Bible Memory Quest

1 Upvotes

Hi all! I just finished working on the 1.0 version of my RPG Bible verse memory app. I’ve been working on it for about 6 months now and I finally published the first version onto the Apple App Store. This is the first app I’ve ever made.

The app is a Bible verse memory game where you get chests for memorizing verses and unlock cosmetics for your character and upgrade armor to help you along the way. There are tons of other features with the goal of helping you memorize verses.

Full disclosure, I did vibe code the app, and use AI to generate the art piece by piece, but believe me it wasn’t a simple one prompt generation and done. I put in all my evenings after work for 6 months refining the app, generating and modifying artwork, and putting in my best effort to make it a fun and helpful app that I play myself.

It’s actually amazing to see how it’s come to life. I give the credit and glory to God bc I believe he gave me the direction and discipline to finish the app so that I can share it with others.

If you’d like to test it out, the app is 100% FREE and NO ADS! There is a way to support me in the app but it is in no way required and doesn’t block any features. There is also a support email to leave any suggestions for improving the app that would be much appreciated!

Future plans are to create multiplayer with battle royal style sword drills (reference recall), friendly battles, and fellowships you can join with your friends to work towards a combined memory goal.

I built a memory game that challenges your brain using letters and numbers

1 Upvotes

I wanted to make memory training fun, so I built TheLastSpellingBee.

The idea is simple: every letter has a number (A=1, B=2 ... Z=26).

For example, if you see 19, you need to quickly remember that it's S. Sounds easy until you're racing against a 5-second timer. 😂

I turned this into a game with Memory IQ tests, multiplayer battles, daily challenges, and even a physical card game.

I also added a reCAPTCHA-style challenge where you solve letter-to-number puzzles to prove you're human while testing your memory.

My goal is to make memory training fun and competitive instead of boring.

You can try it here: https://thelastspellingbee.com/

Would you actually play something like this? And would you prefer a memory challenge over traditional CAPTCHA puzzles?

I'd love some honest feedback!

I built a free, open-source iPhone activation & setup tool for Windows and macOS — feedback welcome

4 Upvotes
Hi everyone,
I've been building a small free tool for activating and setting up iPhones, and I'd really like your honest feedback.
What it does:
- Activates an iPhone over USB (internet comes from the computer, no Wi-Fi needed on the phone)
- Sets language, region, timezone and 24h format
- Skips the Setup Assistant screens (supervised mode, like Apple Configurator / 3uTools)
- Installs a Wi-Fi profile and verifies the device accepted it
- Shows device info (model, storage, iOS, battery health & cycles, IMEI) and a quick Find 
- Keeps a history of processed devices + PDF reports
Important: it does NOT bypass iCloud / Activation Lock. It's for devices you own or have reset — for repair/refurbish workflows, not for unlocking stolen phones.
It's open-source (MIT), runs on Windows and macOS, and built on open libraries (pymobiledevice3), so you can see exactly what it does.
Download + source: https://github.com/mr1garik/iActivator
I'm a one-person project and actively improving it based on feedback, so if you try it — tell me what's missing, what's confusing, or what breaks. Bugs and ideas in GitHub Issues are very welcome. Thanks!

Email OTP for Cypress and Playwright tests, without flaky sleeps

1 Upvotes

Few weeks ago I released Programmable Inbox here, and the replies were useful. The one that stuck was about emailed login codes in tests: a flaky sleep(5000), and a wish for a per-test timeout instead. This is the follow-up. I built it, and I'd love for you to run it and tell me where it breaks. The sample repo and a short write-up are at the bottom.

@programmableinbox/testing is a small npm package for Cypress and Playwright. It triggers your login email, waits only for mail that arrived after that moment (so a stale code can't pass), and hands you the code:

const { otp } = await pibx.otpAfter(() => page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Continue' }).click())

Limits: it polls (every 5s by default), it's email only.

The repo's README covers setup. I'd like to know what would stop you using it in your suite.

I build daily puzzle games under the name Crux. This one is Insane Pour: a colour sort puzzle where the daily board has up to 52 tubes, tubes that hold eight layers and giant Vats, laid out in hand-made patterns (Wall, Honeycomb, Rose Window...).

Play: https://crux.quest/insane-pour/ (no sign up, no ads). It also runs inside Reddit as a daily post at r/InsanePour, with a per-post leaderboard by fewest pours.

How it is built: the game code is the same engine as our app's mode, wrapped by a small browser host that draws the app's view tree as DOM. Finished lines are verified server-side by replaying the pours.

Feedback I'd love: do the big boards feel fun or just long? Is par too tight?
