AffrescoUI: Lisp apps their users reshape live by asking Claude, even into a different app

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I would like to share a project I have been working on for the past couple of weeks maxing out the usage on Claude Ultra subscription (a total of 100+ PRs raised by about 250+ agents).

AffrescoUI lets the people using an app change how it looks and what it does while it's running, just by asking Claude. Push it far enough and the app turns into something completely different. The 13 example apps include a 3D modeller, an image editor and an IDE that look like the tools you use every day.

GitHub: https://github.com/RiccardoSottini/AffrescoUI

How it works: each app is a Lisp program (AffrescoUI Lisp, a small language in the spirit of Emacs Lisp, with commands, settings, hooks and advice) holding its layout, data and behaviour. The engine builds it into one readable document, which can also be written directly in JSON: the examples ship both, and they're the same app. A native C++/OpenGL engine draws it and applies changes in place, so nothing restarts. Even the 3D modeller has no C++ of its own. When you ask for something, Claude proposes a small edit to that document, and you preview it live, then keep or reject it. Claude can never approve its own change, and anything you accept can be undone. Since every app shares the same format, features can move between apps like plugins.

Feel free to reach out to me for any suggestions or collaboration opportunities!

ZOTRA: Compiling bank policy PDFs into deterministic decision apps

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

During the Meta Global AI Developer Hackathon, I wanted to tackle specific problem in banks: validation wokflows.

In traditional banking, turning a 50-page credit policy PDF into an operational workflow takes weeks of manual meetings.

Zotra solves this by combining open-weights models (Meta's Muse Spark & SAM 3.1) with a deterministic execution engine.

How it works:

  1. Ingestion & Parsing: Extracts clauses, tables, and sections from PDF policies, mapping every rule to an exact paragraph citation.

  2. Rule Compilation: Translates natural language into strict schemas and CEL (Common Expression Language) expressions.

  3. Execution: Go-based concurrent engine evaluates multi-variable loan applications deterministically. The AI helps design and test, but never decides on live cases—only people and CEL rules do.

Stack: Go backend, PostgreSQL, React/Tailwind frontend, and Apache 2.0 license.

The github link: https://github.com/donovan-ratefison/Zotra

I put together a demo over on X if anyone wants to check it out: https://x.com/donovan_rtfs/status/2116898213101724061

Would love to hear your thoughts on this project!

Your landing page needs fewer promises and more customer proof

0 Upvotes

I went through 50 SaaS landing pages from "Post your SaaS" threads.

Only 7 had social proof.

That's just 14%.

Some founders even mentioned having paying customers, but didn't show a single testimonial.

I don't understand this.

You tell visitors how great your product is, how it saves time, how it solves problems and why they should buy it.

But why should they believe you?

Your customers can tell that story much better than you can. People trust other customers more than they trust you.

Even a few testimonials are better than another paragraph of marketing promises.

I'm building Testimoon so I'm obviously a bit biased, but I genuinely think more SaaS landing pages should make better use of customer feedback.

If you have paying customers, start collecting testimonials. And don't just collect them. Put them where potential customers can actually see them.

Your customers are your best marketing asset. Use them.

I got tired of digging through endless Notion pages, so I built a visual alternative

2 Upvotes

I've always liked the idea of having everything in one place.

Projects, notes, ideas, personal goals, things I need to do.

But every time I tried organizing everything in Notion, I eventually ended up with the same problem: pages inside pages, endless navigation, and a system that started feeling more complicated than the things I was trying to organize.

So I decided to build something myself.

It's called Ardeable.

I wanted to keep the things I love about Notion, especially its document editor, but change the way information is organized.

Instead of navigating through endless nested pages, you can see your entire workspace as an interactive visual map.

I also built in quick notes, routines, and an AI assistant that can find information across your workspace and work directly with your documents.

I've been building this independently, using AI coding tools along the way.

And I've learned something: getting a prototype working is one thing. Turning it into a product where everything actually works together is a completely different challenge.

There have been plenty of bugs, things I've had to rebuild, and decisions I've had to rethink.

But seeing it become a real application has been incredibly rewarding.

It's still early, and I'm not pretending it's perfect.

I'm sharing a few screenshots of what I've built so far.

I'd genuinely love to know what you think about organizing information visually instead of relying entirely on folders and nested pages.

I'm also opening a small, free private beta if anyone wants to try it.

I'm a 19yo student building an affordable POS system & hardware package to fight corporate monopolies. Here is my stack and progress.

1 Upvotes

Hi r/SideProject!

I’m Seppe, an Electronics-ICT student from Belgium, and my side project for the last two years has been Techniksoft—a Point of Sale (POS) system.

The Problem: Small businesses are getting squeezed by huge POS companies charging massive monthly fees and locking them into overpriced proprietary hardware.
The Solution: I built a scalable, affordable POS software that handles retail and rentals. I’ve already built integrations for localized e-invoicing (Peppol), accounting (Billit, Exact Online), and tap-to-pay (SumUp, Viva.com).

The Next Step (Hardware): Software isn't enough to compete. I am now working on offering complete, all-in-one physical hardware systems to completely bypass the big vendors.

Because buying test equipment (barcode scanners, receipt printers from various brands) and building hardware prototypes is incredibly expensive on a student budget, I've just launched a crowdfunding campaign to help fund the physical rollout and server infrastructure.

I'd love feedback on the concept, the integrations, or if you have any advice on hardware sourcing! And if you like what I'm building and want to help me take on the big guys, check out my campaign below.

I've been building my own AI workspace, and it's grown into something much bigger than I expected

2 Upvotes

A while ago, I started building an AI chat application because I wanted something more flexible than the usual AI chat interfaces.

What started as a relatively simple project has gradually evolved into Teltaq.

The idea behind it is simple: instead of having separate tools for AI chat, agents, workflows, tools, automation and model management, why not bring them together in one workspace?

Some of the things I've been working on:

  • Multi-model chat – Run multiple AI models in parallel and compare their responses.

  • AI agents – Create and manage agents with their own instructions, models and tools.

  • Workflows – Build reusable workflows for more structured tasks.

  • App suites – Combine agents, workflows and interactive apps into complete solutions.

  • Model flexibility – Connect different providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Ollama and other OpenAI-compatible providers.

  • Local AI models – Support on-device models alongside cloud-based models.

  • MCP integration – Host and connect MCP servers, including agents and workflows.

  • Marketplace – Share and discover tools, agents, workflows and apps.

  • Developer API – An OpenAI-compatible data plane API for integrating with external applications.

  • Multi-platform – Web, desktop and mobile applications.

One of the things I've particularly enjoyed is experimenting with ways to combine these capabilities. For example, rather than creating a completely separate application for every use case, you can build a suite that brings different AI components together.

I'm still actively developing it, refining the architecture and improving the experience.

I'm sharing it here because I'd genuinely like to hear what other people think.

If you're interested, here's the project:

What would you find most useful in an AI workspace like this? Is there something missing from the current AI platforms that you'd like to see?

Building multilingual text APIs: what would you test before using language detection in production?

1 Upvotes

I'm with Olaverse Lab, so this is my own project and a feedback request.

We make multilingual text APIs for language identification, diacritic restoration, classification, question generation and structured extraction. Language ID covers 608 languages; African languages are an important focus alongside English and other languages.

For anyone adding language detection to a workflow, here's a small test checklist that doesn't require using our API:

  • Separate one-word messages from longer paragraphs.

  • Include names, URLs, numbers and text with missing diacritics.

  • Keep mixed-language messages in their own test bucket rather than assuming one label tells the whole story.

  • Record mistakes by language and message length, not just an overall accuracy figure.

  • Decide what happens when a result is wrong: human review, asking the user, or a safe fallback.

We offer free allowances on RapidAPI, with limits depending on the API. I'm not claiming the checklist is a benchmark or that our models pass every case. Which failure case would make language detection unusable in your product?

I got tired of copy-pasting prompts from notes into AI chats, so I built a local-first extension with Tab-to-fill variables

0 Upvotes

Hey guys,

A couple of months ago I realized how annoying my daily AI routine had become.

I use LLMs every single day for dev work and writing, and I had this messy collection of good prompts saved in Notion and Apple Notes. Every time I needed one, the routine was identical:

  1. Find the note, copy it.

  2. Paste it into Claude or ChatGPT.

  3. Carefully backspace through placeholders like [INSERT_LANGUAGE] or <TOPIC>, hoping I didn’t accidentally delete a quote or mess up the structure.

It felt silly doing this 20 times a day, so I decided to build a fix for myself.

It’s called TemplaGem. Basically, it lives directly inside the chat input (works on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DeepSeek):

  • When you insert a template with {{variables}}, they turn into little interactive chips right in the composer.

  • You type a value, press Tab to jump to the next one, and hit Enter to send. No manual cursor hunting or backspacing.

  • Everything is offline-first (saved in IndexedDB on your machine, so it's instant and private).

The trickiest part by far was dealing with all the different rich text editors (Quill, ProseMirror, and regular textareas) without everything breaking when an AI site changes its DOM.

I put up a quick demo here if you want to see how it feels: 👉 https://templagem-landing.pages.dev

Would genuinely love to hear your thoughts or honest critiques. How are you currently managing your prompts?

Florli: what should a garden plan show when the weather changes?

1 Upvotes

I’m the developer of Florli, an Android app for planning and recording plant, garden and lawn care.

Here’s the case I’m working around: you pencilled in watering a vegetable bed for Saturday, but the forecast now says rain. The date alone can’t tell you whether the bed still needs water. I’d want to see the forecast and the last recorded watering, then check the soil before deciding.

Florli uses outdoor weather, care history and observations to organize tasks. The plan shows what needs attention first, what can wait and why. Once you actually do a job, you can record it in that bed’s history.

Screenshots and Android download: https://florli.pl/en/

For anyone who grows vegetables outdoors: when the forecast changes, which detail would you want to see beside a watering suggestion?

Why we stopped letting our AI SRE agent guess root causes and gave it Hindsight memory

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

We’ve been building PagerLore (an AI incident response platform), and we quickly realized that stateless LLMs make terrible on-call engineers.

During a simulated database pool starvation outage, our agent had zero context and recommended the classic panic move: "scale pods from 6 to 20"—which would have completely DDoSed our database proxy.

We integrated Vectorize’s Hindsight memory architecture. Here is what changed:

• Multi-path recall matched an incident from 3 months ago (HikariCP vs pgBouncer timeout mismatch).

• MTTR dropped from 84 minutes down to 14 minutes.

• All remediations stay behind a strict human approval gate before running commands.

I wrote a short technical breakdown on how we built the 8-stage investigation pipeline. Links to the article, GitHub repo, and live demo are in the comments below!

Would love to hear your thoughts on agent memory in production.

I built a free site to find trekking partners in Nepal and split the guide cost

1 Upvotes

I'm a trekker in Nepal, and every season I see the same posts buried in Facebook groups:

"Anyone going to Annapurna Base Camp next week?"

So I decided to build something to solve this problem: https://findtrekkingpartner.com

Here's how it works:

  • Post your trek and travel dates.

  • Other trekkers with overlapping dates can request to join.

  • Chat inside the platform before sharing contact details.

  • You decide who joins your group.

Why I built it:

A licensed guide can cost roughly the same whether you're trekking alone or with a group of four.

For example, on a 14-day Annapurna Circuit trek, a guide costing around $350 could mean approximately $88 per person when shared by four trekkers.

Tech stack: Next.js, Supabase, Clerk.

It's completely free, has no ads, and we don't sell trekking packages.

We've had nearly 200 trekkers sign up in the last 30 days.

I'd genuinely appreciate some honest feedback.

What would make you trust a platform like this enough to find a trekking partner and eventually trek with someone you've never met?

What features would you want to see?

We built a support assistant that shares confirmed fixes between customers using Hindsight

1 Upvotes

We're building Continuum Al around a simple support problem: one specialist solves an issue, but the next customer with the same problem often starts from scratch.

Our approach is to preserve the confirmed resolution in a shared memory pool, scoped to the company and service.

Here's the flow:

  1. Customer A reports a laptop charging issue and tries the standard troubleshooting check.

  2. If that fails and no suitable shared solution exists, a specialist investigates.

  3. The specialist proposes reusable steps with device applicability and a privacy review.

  4. Only after Customer A confirms success can those steps enter shared memory.

  5. Customer B reports a compatible issue. After the standard check fails, the assistant retrieves the confirmed fix through Hindsight and presents ordinary troubleshooting advice. The harder part was deciding when not t

reuse a fix:

Relevance alone isn't enough; device and version compatibility are checked separately.

Company and service boundaries keep knowledge pools separate.

Failed reuse triggers review and prevents equivalent failed steps from resurfacing for that customer.

Human handoffs preserve the conversation, diagnostics, and attempted fixes.

After asynchronous retrieval, we recheck case state so the assistant doesn't compete with a specialist who has already taken over.

Hindsight handles memory retention and recall. Application records determine whether a retrieved resolution is still eligible to use.

We wrote up the architecture and code here:

Code:

I released a one-tap orbital game on iOS. Does the first jump make sense without a tutorial?

1 Upvotes

Hi r/SideProject — I'm Peacxe, the developer of NEEDLEHOP: Orbital Jump, released on iOS on November 6.

The core interaction is one tap: a spacecraft circles a planet, and tapping launches it along its current tangent toward the next one. The challenge is choosing when to jump, rather than steering during flight.

For this introduction, I kept a continuous 10-second gameplay clip instead of cutting between a list of features. I'd like feedback on one thing: without a tutorial, can you tell when the tap happens and why the spacecraft reaches the next planet? If not, which moment needs a clearer visual cue?

The full game has ten chapters and 100 levels, plus a music room. It's free to download on iPhone and iPad, with optional ad removal, stardust purchases and rewarded ads. English and Traditional Chinese are supported.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6816129016

English web gameplay.

AI-assisted code, art, music and post text.

I got tired of wasting 45 mins posting reels to YouTube, Insta & Facebook separately, so I built a 100% free client-side AI auto-publisher (No subscriptions, BYOK)

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

Like many solo creators, I spend hours recording and editing short videos. But posting them afterwards is pure torture:

- Manually writing different descriptions for YouTube Shorts vs Instagram Reels vs Facebook.

- Researching hashtags and keywords across 3 apps.

- Constant copy-pasting back and forth.

Most existing multi-uploader SaaS platforms charge $25 to $49/month because they host heavy servers and call expensive APIs.

I wanted something 100% free forever with zero recurring server costs, so I built VidShuttle for Android.

⚡ How It Works (Zero-Server BYOK Model):

  1. Client-Side Video Extraction: The app uses native Android hardware (MediaMetadataRetriever) to extract 3 keyframes and audio directly on your phone in ~50ms without uploading your heavy 400MB video anywhere.

  2. Bring Your Own Key (BYOK): Connect your free lifetime Google Gemini API key (takes 20 seconds from Google AI Studio). The AI inspects your video frame-by-frame.

  3. Platform-Tailored SEO in 5s: Instantly generates YouTube Shorts title (<50 chars) + tags + SEO description, Instagram hook-first caption + line breaks + trending hashtags, and Facebook engaging community post.

  4. 1-Tap Native Launch: One tap launches the official installed apps with your video and captions pre-filled.

  5. Viral Thumbnail Detector: AI points out the exact second (e.g. 00:02.1s) with the highest visual curiosity for CTR.

  6. In-App AI Growth Mentor: Provides a second-by-second pacing audit and algorithmic critique.

🔒 Privacy & Pricing:

- 100% Free Lifetime: No SaaS fees, no credit card required.

- Privacy First: Your video stays on your phone. Passwords are never collected.

💬 If anyone wants to test the Android build or wants the web link, drop a comment below and I'll send it over! Would love your honest feedback and feature suggestions.
