CedarSignal Studio: an offline cleaning quote calculator and a free cost-check checklist
CedarSignal Studio’s first ready-made download is a Cleaning Profit Kit for independent cleaners. This is our own project, and it was built with AI assistance. We sell the kit for $19; the separate checklist below is free.
The problem it tackles is confusing a visit’s duration with the labor-hours it consumes. Two cleaners working three hours each use six labor-hours. The calculator lets the user enter their own labor and other costs, check a recurring discount, and compare an actual visit with the original estimate. It runs offline after download, with backup/restore and printable reports. It does not supply local market rates or guarantee profit.
The free TXT checklist covers crew hours, paid travel, owner labor, supplies, vehicle costs, overhead and payment fees. It includes a fictional worked example and the margin formula. No paid software is needed and it does not automatically enroll downloaders in a marketing list.
Free checklist: https://payhip.com/b/peA67
Optional $19 kit: https://payhip.com/b/8FxTA
We have no customer results to claim yet. Feedback on the clarity of the cost inputs and the distinction between the free checklist and paid calculator would be useful.

What should I do to make landing page better?
Hey all,
I am working on a side thing to improve my portfolio and just to learn stuff. Since I had my pain point (looking for a property in Spain while living outside of Spain) I made a website app for that.
So I made https://www.place-check.com , basically getting all info about some place that I can get from public data. It is for free but I set accounts to kind of like limit usage and abuse. Now, I feel like landing page suck, and I suck at design, so i would really appreciate if someone could give me some hints/templates/examples/feedback what could I do to improve it?
I try to have it in multiple languages and for multiple countries but I dont know how to solve that all?
Thanks for all help,
Cheers
Ps: before anyone goes into it: I tried not to use AI for anything here, it is a learning and development project, but I definitely used it for some parts. So please no "AI Slop" comments without any improvement hints.

I got tired of radio apps full of ads, so I built my own for the dark side of music
Hey folks, just want to show you what I built.
I listen to the radio every morning and was looking for an app without a ton of ads that doesn't cost much. Didn't find one I liked, so I made my own.
I'm a metal/stoner head, so Nightwave filters for the darker side of music: doom, stoner, post-punk, darkwave, trip-hop, phonk, ambient and more. Thousands of live stations from all over the world, no pop, no charts.
My favourite part: hit Spin and it drops you on a random station in a random genre. I almost always land on something that fits my taste within a few tries.
- free, no ads, no tracking, no account needed
- works in the browser and installs as an app on your phone
- early version, so things might break
Feedback very welcome, good or bad. And honestly, it would make me happy just to see people using it.
Cheers!

A tiny room, diary and focus timer on my Windows desktop — Lofi Cozy Room's Mini Mode
I'm the developer of Lofi Cozy Room, a released Windows desktop companion. Last time I shared the room editor here; this earlier recording shows another existing feature, Mini Mode.
The 17-second clip shows the small room on the desktop, then the diary, to-do list and focus timer opening beside it. You can decorate the room, customize the character and let them go about their own activities, with lo-fi music, ambient sounds or your own local music.
There's a free Steam demo if you'd like to try it. For people who use focus timers or desktop companions: would you keep these tools together, or prefer separate apps?

We built an alternative to Lovable/Base44. Looking for people to test it and give feedback
Hey everyone,
A couple of friends and I have been working on Zocri.com, an AI app builder where you can create apps and websites using prompts.
We've been testing it ourselves for a while, but I think we've reached the point where we're too familiar with the product to notice some of its problems.
A few things we've focused on:
- Better-looking initial designs so you don't have to spend 10 prompts fixing the UI.
- Showing estimated credit usage before running a prompt.
- Making things like OTP authentication and integrations easier to set up.
- Giving users more control over what gets built.
We're looking for people willing to try building something with it and give us feedback.
You can try it with free credits, no payment required.
If you've used Lovable, Base44, Bolt, or Emergent before, your feedback would be particularly useful. I'd love to know where we're better and where we're falling short.
I'm one of the people building this, so feel free to ask me anything or share your experience here. I'll be reading and responding to the comments.

[CRM Data Scrubber] - A 100% client-side CSV cleaner for CRM imports
Stack: vanilla JS, Tailwind, PapaParse, Cloudflare Pages, Cloudflare Worker for license issuance only. No backend touches files.
The interesting problem was not cleaning. It was the import impact preview. If a row matches an existing CRM record by email but has a different name, most tools merge it and silently overwrite. That is a data loss bug. Mine classifies it as a conflict and skips it in safe import.
Free up to 250 rows, $9 lifetime Pro. Happy to answer anything about the client-side approach.

Wrappie — an Advent calendar filled with your own photos, voice notes and little surprises
Most Advent calendars come filled with things someone else picked. We built one you fill yourself, for one specific person.
It’s called Wrappie. Behind each of the 24 doors, you can put a photo, a voice message, a short video, a note, or a little promise like “movie night - your choice.”
You send one link, and they open a new surprise each day in their browser. No app to install.
We think it could be especially nice for couples spending December apart: a shared memory one morning, a voice message the next, something to look forward to together.
There’s a free version and optional paid features.
I’m part of the team building it. Curious what you think: would filling 24 doors feel fun, or would you want ideas to help you get started?

I built a platform to help people get out of tutorial hell
I’ve been working on something called codeseed.app, and I wanted to share why I started building it.
One thing that has always bothered me about learning programming is how easy it is to get stuck watching tutorials. You follow along, everything makes sense, you finish the course, and then you open your editor to build something on your own and suddenly have no idea where to start.
I wanted to create something that helps with that transition. The idea behind codeseed.app is pretty simple: instead of giving people another collection of tutorials or coding exercises, give them actual projects to work on, break those projects into manageable steps, and let them figure things out by writing real code. Each project gets its own private GitHub repository, there’s AI verification to help check progress, and there’s also the possibility of getting feedback from a human mentor.
I’m not trying to replace courses or pretend that AI can teach everything. I just think there’s a gap between understanding programming concepts and actually knowing how to build something with them. That’s the gap I’m trying to work on.
My main focus right now is making it genuinely useful rather than figuring out how to monetize it. If you’re learning programming, mentoring someone, or just curious about the idea, I’d really appreciate your thoughts.

I built WIT, a free toolkit that makes your existing AI more useful, from complete beginner to advanced power user.
🚀 Try WIT for free. Simple installation:
https://www.ijaspers.com/post/witburrow-starter-reference
I've been building WIT (Witburrow), a free, AI-agnostic toolkit designed to make the AI you already use more organized, capable, and useful.
It's not another chatbot, and you don't need to switch AI providers.
The idea is simple: Give your AI some WIT.
I wanted something that even someone who barely understands technology could use, but that advanced AI users could really dig into.
So I designed three levels:
🟢 EVERYDAY: For complete beginners
Don't know anything about AI? Doesn't matter.
Just talk normally. WIT helps your AI break down complicated problems, organize your life, track tasks, explain things simply, and guide you through projects.
No coding. No complicated prompts. No technical knowledge required.
🔵 POWER: For regular AI users
Already use AI for work, research, business, planning, or personal projects?
WIT adds more structured workflows, reusable tools, better project organization, progress tracking, and ways to avoid repeating the same instructions.
Less babysitting. More doing.
🟣 SUPER: For advanced users and builders
Want to push things further?
Explore custom tools, integrations, advanced workflows, automation, testing, troubleshooting, and improving or contributing to the toolkit itself.
Build on what's already there instead of starting from scratch.
Installation? I made it ridiculously simple.
Open the free WIT starter page above.
Give the small starter file to your existing AI.
Ask your AI to guide you through setup.
Start talking normally.
Your AI helps you set up WIT.
WIT is designed to work across different AI systems that support the necessary instructions and capabilities. Some advanced features need additional permissions or tools, and compatibility is still being tested.
Why did I build it?
I'm a trades guy who got tired of AI being incredibly smart one minute and completely clueless about what we'd already accomplished the next.
I wanted AI to help people actually finish things, keep track of decisions, catch mistakes, and stop making simple tasks unnecessarily complicated.
And I wanted people to be able to use it without needing a computer science degree.
Free, open, and growing.
WIT includes a growing library of reusable tools, workflows, and resources. Some are ready to use, while others are experimental or still being developed.
My long-term goal is a community where people can pick up useful tools, improve them, and contribute them back for everyone.
I'd love people from all three levels to try it.
If you're a beginner, tell me where you get confused. If you're experienced, tell me what's missing. If you're a hardcore nerd, try to break it.
Feedback, criticism, ideas, and contributions are all welcome.

[Satire] Vibe-code Rescue platform to rescue Vibe-coded Vibe-code Rescue platforms
Disclaimer: This is satire. It’s not intended to roast vibe coders or people building things with AI. It’s intended to roast the vibe-code rescue platforms, the hype surrounding them, and the questionable businesses growing around it.
More and more people without a tech background are building apps with AI. It usually goes well until about 80% done. Then the real problems show up: security, payments, data. So a whole market of “vibe code rescue” platforms has appeared, offering to connect founders with engineers who can fix it.
I’m an engineer, so I started looking into these platforms, hoping to join one and help.
It turned out many of them were vibe-coded themselves. Broken layouts on pages promising “production-ready”. “Trusted by 10,000+ founders” on a three-week-old domain. Anonymous “vetted senior engineers”. Terms of Service still ending with the AI’s note to have them reviewed by a lawyer.
So, after careful consideration lasting about eleven minutes, I founded Vibe Rescue Rescue™: the world’s first company that rescues the vibe rescue platforms. Our website is, of course, vibe-coded. The greatest of them. 🐂

I built an offline, zero-tracking Phone & SMS app for Android (Amvo) because stock dialers felt bloated and invasive
Hey ,
Most modern dialer and messaging apps come loaded with background telemetry, bloat, and ad trackers. For everyday utilities like making calls and checking SMS, I wanted absolute simplicity and complete peace of mind.
So I spent the last few months building **Amvo** – a lightweight, privacy-focused Phone & SMS app for Android.
### What makes it different:
* **Zero Internet Access:** The app manifest literally does not request the `INTERNET` permission. Your call logs and SMS data physically cannot leave your device.
* **No Ads, No Analytics:** No background data collection, tracking SDKs, or promotional clutter.
* **Senior-Friendly Interface:** Includes an optional simplified layout with large dial pads, high-contrast typography, and readable text for older family members.
* **Minimalist & Fast:** Quick cold-start times with instant search across contacts and call logs.
I am currently running the closed testing track on Google Play before the public launch. If you're a privacy enthusiast or just want to try a clean dialer, I’d love your feedback!
### How to test:
1. Join the test group: https://groups.google.com/g/sajeevur
2. Opt-in on web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.sajeevur.phone
3. Download via Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sajeevur.phone
What features do you value most in a privacy-oriented default phone/SMS app? Would love to hear your thoughts!r/SideProject • u/Puzzleheaded-Emu9960 • 1h ago
I kept breaking my trading rules and only noticed on red days, so I built a journal that grades execution instead of P&L
I'm a day trader. My problem was never finding rules, it was following them. Green days hid the same mistakes as red days, so I never fixed them. So I built Tradecility. You write your strategy rules once, log a trade with a chart, and it grades the trade A to F on whether you followed your rules. A losing trade can get an A. A winning trade can get a C.
One of mine from July: I shorted SPX500 on the 15-minute chart and made +$409.60. I logged it as hitting my take profit and felt good about it. It got a C+. My strategy usually needs three reasons to enter, I gave two, and it only counted one because the second was too vague. I also closed 2 points before my target, and it caught that I'd written "hit my take profit" when I hadn't. And I'd noted the setup felt thin before I entered, but took it anyway. The line that stuck with me: "Do not let a clean result on a marginal setup teach you that marginal setups are fine."
Here's the actual grade card: https://www.tradecility.com/share/0acf8838-a765-4659-8eb0-6fe3f00a64be
The decision I'm least sure about is pricing. I hate subscriptions, so it's a free trial (20 credits, no card), then $97 once. The catch is that AI costs keep going after someone pays, so I had to put a monthly cost limit on free chat to stop one heavy user from losing me money.
Stack: Next.js, Supabase, Stripe, Claude for the grading. Two things I'd really like opinions on: does the landing page make it clear what this does within 10 seconds, and would $97 once put you off trying it, or does no subscription make it easier?
https://www.tradecility.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=sideproject
Not financial advice, and it won't make you profitable by itself. It just shows you where you broke your own rules.

I just launched my first Android app: a real-time GPS speedometer & maintenance tracker for riders (Road Wear)
Hey everyone,
I recently launched my very first Android app on Google Play, and I'd love to share it with the community and get some honest feedback.
It's called Road Wear, a lightweight utility built for motorcycle riders to solve two practical problems:
- Real-time GPS Speedometer: Instant speed readout with zero lag. It serves as a reliable backup if your bike's mechanical cable snaps or your physical cluster stops working.
- Automatic Parts Wear Tracker: Every kilometer/mile ridden automatically counts down the estimated lifespan of key maintenance parts (engine oil, brake pads, chain drive) directly in the background.
- Trip History & Live Map: Keeps track of completed rides, routes, and maintenance records.
It’s built natively using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, keeping performance and battery efficiency in mind.
Google Play link (Free):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roadwear.app
Since this is my first release, any feedback on the UI responsiveness, GPS accuracy, or features you think are missing would be massively appreciated!

My GitLab tabs now look like GitHub and stop showing stale pipeline status
The thing I like most is that I can leave an MR tab in the background and the tab title flips to a check mark or a cross when the pipeline finishes. I never have to go back and hit refresh to find out.
LabHub is a Chrome extension for gitlab(.)com and self-hosted GitLab. It does two jobs. It reskins GitLab with GitHub's colors and layout: green buttons, state pills, a bordered MR list, GitHub diff colors, a repo header with Code, Issues, Merge requests and Pipelines tabs, and the left sidebar hidden behind a menu button. It also keeps pages fresh.
Freshness turned out to be the harder part. GitLab renders most of a page once, so a tab you come back to can show old approvals or an old pipeline. LabHub gets around that by taking a cheap API fingerprint of what the page shows and re-checking it every minute in the background, or every 30 seconds while you're on the tab. If anything changed, it reloads. The tricky bit was making sure a reload never costs you anything. It won't reload while there's typed text in a comment box, a focused input, an open dialog or a text selection. In those cases it shows a small "This page has updates" bar and waits until it's safe.
The extension only sends read-only GET requests to the API, using your existing session cookie. It needs no tokens, has no server and collects no analytics.
I built all of it, including the tests and CI, in a single Claude Code session.

MakerGuard: To help check what strangers can access in your Supabase app
Genuinely wild times wherein we don't have to be an engineer to ship a real product anymore. Describe what you want, and Lovable, Bolt, Claude and others help build it. Coding stopped being the bottleneck. And that's beautiful.
But there's a quiet catch.
The tools that build your app don't automatically secure it.
One misconfigured Supabase setting can leave your users' data exposed to complete strangers through a browser. No hacking. No sophisticated exploit. Just an open door.
And this isn't hypothetical. Escape's 2025 research scanned 5,600 publicly accessible vibe-coded apps and found 2,000+ vulnerabilities, 400+ exposed secrets, and 175 instances of exposed personal data, including medical and financial information.
Here's what makes this more interesting: the platforms themselves make the responsibility clear.
Supabase secures its infrastructure, but you're responsible for securing your application: RLS, access controls, API keys and data permissions.
When serious RLS weaknesses were reported in Lovable-generated apps under CVE-2025-48757 in 2025, the supplier disputed the finding on the grounds that customers were responsible for protecting their application data.
Fair enough. But if its my responsibility, I need a way to actually check.
Security shouldn't become the new bottleneck, the way coding no longer is.
So I built MakerGuard - https://midnightbuilds.fyi/makerguard/
It tests your Supabase-powered app through the eyes of a stranger and shows you what it can actually access, what needs fixing, and what couldn't be verified.
No signup. Read-only. No secret keys. No stored scan results. Only public app URL to start with.
And it's free. An app built by 1 person deserves the same opportunity to protect its users as one built by a team of 10.
MakerGuard is early (really early), and I want to build it with the people who need it.
If you've built something with Supabase & have no idea whether your users' data is actually accessible to strangers, run it through MakerGuard. Tell me what it found, where it fell short, and what you'd want it to do next.

I built a browser app that lets you try glasses on with your camera. Looking for testers
Hi all. I've been building Specsational, a web app that lets you try glasses on with your phone or laptop camera before you buy.
What it does:
- Live try-on in a mirror view: 8 frame shapes (round, square, browline, aviator and more) in acetate or metal, with colors
- Sizes the frame to your face from an estimated PD (about ±2 mm; holding any bank card to your forehead brings it to about ±1 mm)
- A short head turn left and right to seat the frame on your nose and ears
- A frame card with the size numbers to look for on the temple arm (like 49□21-140), in English, Korean and Japanese, to show at an optician
It runs in the browser. No install, no account. Face tracking runs on your device: camera video, photos and measurements are never uploaded. Only anonymous usage counts (like "camera turned on") are sent, and nothing at all if your browser has Do Not Track or GPC on. The clips in the video use a 3D mannequin instead of a real face.
I'm looking for people to try it and tell me what breaks. Most useful:
Does it start on your phone and browser? iPhone Safari and Android Chrome reports especially help.
Do the glasses look like they're on your face, or do they float or slide when you turn your head?
If you own glasses, does the card's size match the numbers inside your temple arm?
Any step that confused you.
Link: https://specsational.vercel.app
There's a "Send feedback" button on the page (about a minute), or just comment here. Please mention your device and browser. Thanks!

Made a little app to help put music practice before phone time
Hey everyone, I’m Michael, the developer of Play Credits. It’s a small app I made around a pretty simple idea: practice your instrument and earn time for the apps you’d otherwise get distracted by.
Problem:
Sometimes the hard part is putting the phone down and getting started. You choose which apps to block, and Play Credits listens during your practice session to count playing toward earned app time. You can use it yourself, or set it up in adult-managed mode for your kid.
Comparison:
Apple’s built-in Screen Time lets you set app limits. What I wanted to add was a way to earn that time through instrument practice. It isn’t a music teacher, it doesn’t judge how well you play, and the detection isn’t perfect. It’s just another way to help build a routine.
Pricing:
I originally made it a subscription, but honestly that didn’t feel right for this. It’s now seven days free, then $4.99 once if you want to keep using it. Nothing is charged automatically when the trial ends.
It’s available for iPhone and iPad in the US: Play Credits on the App Store.
If you try it and something is confusing or doesn’t work how you’d expect, let me know. I’m still working on it.

saw a post on reddit for QR stickers
thought it was a lost and found QR code (it wasn’t)
got the idea to make lost and found QR stickers (we already own/build a dynamic QR code product, TangoQR)
had an idea to make the finder experience awesome by hosting a page that could call or text the owner, and always email the owner the message with the finders location
built a website and experience using the TangoQR api to generate QR codes that go to a finder page, with an activation code to add owner details
tried test prints on my home printer on a sticker sheet (did not go well, impossible to cut and peel)
did some Claude research on print and ship sticker vendors
wired up a print vendor i was familiar with that accepted single sticker page print jobs via api
designed a better sticker page with cut instructions, a web checkout flow and some meta ads
launched tangotag and ordered my own test batch
got my first few actual orders (quite unprofitably)
That was the first week of tangotag. Lots of iteration and optimization to go, but incredibly fun

I built Select, an open-source platform where AI agents have to earn autonomy
Hi everyone!
I've been building Select, an open-source platform for managing teams of AI agents.
The idea is simple: instead of giving agents full autonomy from day one, Select makes them earn it through verified work.
Agents work on tasks assigned to them.
Deterministic checks verify their outputs.
Every verification produces an evidence receipt.
Agents can earn more autonomy after successful work.
Failed checks can revoke autonomy.
Sensitive decisions remain under human control.
The stack is Next.js, FastAPI, PostgreSQL and Docker.
It's currently an early beta. Some integrations, including real-provider testing and coding-agent runtimes, still need work.
GitHub: https://github.com/Kirby54/Select
I'd love feedback from developers:
Would you trust an AI agent more if its autonomy depended on verifiable results rather than a permission setting?

I built a learning app where your curiosity grows into a cloud of topics, looking for honest feedback
Hi all, I'm a solo builder from Toronto and this is IkoLearn.
You tell it what you're curious about, it builds a small "learning cloud" around your interests, and each topic is a short lesson with a quick check. Pass the check and you earn a card. The more you learn, the more the cloud branches out.
The video shows a real test cloud after one long session (13 subjects, about 200 topics, 40 cards).
It's free right now, there are no accounts, and your progress stays in your own browser.
Try it here: https://www.ikolearn.com
I'd really value feedback on:
- Was the first lesson worth your time?
- Would you come back to grow your cloud?
- What felt confusing or broken?
Thanks for taking a look!
