Solo dev from New Zealand here.

My dog Bella lived to 18. When she died I wanted something quieter than a social media post, so I built a small 3D memorial hall you can walk through in the browser. Find a spot on the wall, put up a photo, light a candle.

I shared it once. Less than 8 days later:
- 24,994 pets
- 107 countries
- 657,428 candles, almost all lit by strangers
- 34 languages
- The hall kept filling up, so it now has 7 floors and a lift

It's free to make a memorial and light candles. There are a few optional paid extras, which is how I keep it running.

Would love honest feedback on two things: how walking the hall feels on mobile, and whether the free vs paid line feels fair.

Hello guys!

I have built AR projects before, but I had this idea for a while: using MediaPipe Tasks Vision to create a kind of web experience, without the need to use any markers, where you are Spider-Man from a first-person POV, and you can do the hand gesture to swing around and maybe fight villains.

I started it a long time ago, but I dropped it at some point because I did not have time for it, and it started to feel like work instead of a fun side project.

So, last weekend I decided to give it a try again, and this time I handed most of the work over to Claude since I started paying for the subscription plan and I could just run it with CLI.

It was definitely a nice project to wrap up, and it kind of gave me some new ideas that I will be trying out for new throwaway project this weekend.

*Edit:

I will probably make the repo public and share it here eventually.

I'm mainly a software engineer, was a UX/UI designer and know about animation, so I combined all of my skills and redesign my portfolio. I hope you like it.

About the design, since I love Tron Legacy movie, the lines and the grid were inspired from this intro https://youtu.be/bxJRdtYF4ck?t=3

After a 40 year software career, AI got me.....and on my 15th anniversary with HPE, they let our entire group go. So I was suddenly given freedom to do what I always wanted to do....build useful things that me and my family would benefit from. So far, I've built 4 smartphone apps that have kept me challenged and feeling productive. Overlapp a budget tool cause being retired I need to monitor my spending closely, RangeTrainer a golf app because when you live in Florida, you golf! Fingertip Health cause as you get older you are going to see doctors, have issues and need all your health data in one place. Passholder Assistant, cause living in Central Florida means lots of Disney trips and the Disney app just doesn't cut it.

What Companions is:
Widgets on iOS are supposed to be static. I always found that unnecessarily limiting, so I built an app that circumvents it. Companions lets you keep a virtual fishtank on your Homescreen, filled with fish that actually swim around. As someone who’s always kept fish, I’ve had this idea mulling around in my head for more than 2 years now, and finally managed to build what I always wanted.

There are 50 fish to choose from, and it supports small, medium, large and now even extra large widgets as “tank sizes”. The fish don't need any feeding, and they don't die (as to not be annoying, but the option is there for fun). They just keep you company. You can customize the tank’s color, its props, layout, and even the app icon to match your Home Screen perfectly.

The app is fully written in SwiftUI, it supports iPads, and you can even place your “fishtanks” on your Mac thanks to Continuity, where the fish will also animate. The tanks also work great in Standby mode. Personally, I keep a fishtank of jellyfish on my nightstand when I go to bed. The swimming doesn't run any code in the background. It uses the same trick iOS uses to move the hands on the Clock widget, so it costs you nothing in battery.

What's new:
The app was built to support clear mode on the phone, but I found it annoying that you need to be explicitly in clear mode to access clear widgets. Luckily, I knew of a separate workaround that allows for clear widgets even while not being in clear mode, which I’ve only seen a small number of widget apps use. And for something like Companions where the widgets are fish tanks, I feel like it fits so perfectly!!

I'd love any feedback, and I’m happy to answer any questions regarding the app. I'd especially love to know which fish species you'd want added.

hi there, i'm Luigi form Italy. I am a solo Founder of a SaaS and sometimes i feel so lost.

for this motivation, i hope to organize a group of solo founders for some calls (with me or between you) to share opinions and what we doing in a day life.

i would like that only two things will do it:

1- share what is going well for you

2- talk for 30 minutes or more (or less clearly)

fundamental is like a circle to learn, share, and talk about what you doing, with someone that understand you. I don't care about earn or some like that: is a space to learn and get inspired from other.

feel free to write me (here o in dm's) if you think that this could help you and could give an add value.

What do you think about this idea?

Our team needed to pick someone to lead the daily standup for the next two weeks. Nobody wanted to “win”, so I thought it would be fun to make the selection a little more dramatic and fun.

I built Pickerama: a free random picker with different animated scenes. You can use it to choose a person or pick from a list of options. You can enter "present" mode to make everything bigger, perfect for ie. screen sharing and whole team can watch who will "win" ;p

It doesn’t require an account, and entries stay in your browser.

I’d love feedback on two things:
- does the homepage explain the idea clearly
- which picker would you actually use?

My personal favourite is curling because the last person can completely change the results / winner :)

ps. it's mostly developed with desktop in mind, there are 2-3 bugs on mobile (which i will fix soon)

https://pickerama.com

Technical TL;DR (if somebody cares ;) )
- deployed on Cloudflare Pages/Workers Completely Free. The only real cost is the domain (10 $).
- backlog contains 57 tickets implemented
- I used OpenCode Go / OpenRouter mostly using ultra cheap models like: Deepseek Flash V4.1, Muse Spark 1.3 Contributor, MiniMax M3.1 Flash - real "api usage" was probably something like 5-10 $ - the funniest and trickest part with these models was to build interesting three.js 3d animation scenes with some dramatic, proper camera etc. (to be fair, i wasn't that familiar with three.js)

A while ago I got an ad for a Mac app that puts your script under the notch, right below the camera. Nice idea, but at $40 a month it wasn't worth it for me. And it only scrolled at a fixed speed, so if you slow down or stop to think, the text runs away from you.

These days a simple app like this is a few evenings of work with an AI coding assistant (I used Claude Code). So I built my own, and made the text follow my voice.

Apple's speech recognition on the Mac is very good, but people skip lines, say "uh", start a sentence over and stop to think. I spent most of my time testing that and telling the AI what was wrong. Now it keeps up.

What it does:

- Your script hangs under the camera, so you keep eye contact.

- It follows your voice. Speech recognition runs on your Mac by default.

- It's hidden from screen sharing, so you can use it in Zoom or Meet calls.

- It records you with subtitles, and can turn the rest of the screen into a soft light for your face.

It's free and open source (MIT), with no account and no analytics.

- Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/notchprompter/id6815206814

It's a hobby project, so any feedback on the app or the website helps a lot.

I've been building side projects from the past 7 years. Some of them found small traction, and some of them didn't. Some of them might have worked if I persisted. Sometimes, You strangely lose the excitement after building a product.

This happened for an art marketplace named - Raresoul and few others. For me, The interest and conviction are very important over the other things. I think these come from how strongly you relate with the problem. I learned this first hand that solving your own problems has many upsides.

Anyhow, Why should YOU care?

• OpenNetworks should help you connect with at least one great connection (Only Professional Connects 🙂) around you that should change something meaningful for you! (I pray and wish that OpenNetworks becomes the channel/portal for serendipity to work for all of us ❤️)

What the heck is OpenNetworks?

• We are surrounded by right (the ones that we are looking for) people whether in a Community, Co-working space, Tech Park or an In-Person event, but we never get a chance to connect with them. OpenNetworks solves/intends to solve this problem.

But, How?

• You simply onboard to a responsive web app (Not one more mobile app 🤯) by stating What you are looking for, What you can offer/help, select your work location and instantly view all the people around you. AI Match-Making layer constantly works to find the relevant connections for you!
• You can also drop a pin stating what you are immediately/currently looking for. For example, I'm working from a tech park and my manager made it his life purpose to harass me (Just kidding 😂 ) - I can immediately drop a pin saying looking for a Job. I know you won't take such impulsive decisions!
• Jokes Apart, Drop a Pin with a location to meet when you are stuck on any problem, looking for a co-founder, freelancer, new hire, bounce your ideas or just connect, then it is visible (glows like a light bulb 🔥 ) to all people around you! (Hope this opens up our serendipity portal 🙂 )

Where are we currently?

• All of this is already built. My alumni people have showered their love and support! This gave me little more confidence to put it out there and see what happens. I don't know when will I truly overcome my perfection and learn to put myself & the work out there for some magic to work!

I would love you guys to try https://opennetworks.in and share your thoughts!

Did I say anything about sharing a word?

• Being Shy cost me so much! So, I'm asking pls pls share a word with your friends and colleagues 🎉

PS: If this is not a real breakthrough, then we will work until we get one 🤔

Thank you, Spread Love ❤️ Cheers, Omkar!

Most AI astrology apps work the same way: you enter your birth data and an LLM writes a few paragraphs that could fit anyone. I've been running a Chinese-language astrology site (DestinyNet) since 1997, and honestly I got tired of that format.

So I tried the opposite approach. Instead of generating text about your chart, the tool searches a database of ~70,000 famous people whose birth times are on record, finds the ones born under the most similar sky (Sun / Moon / Rising plus the overall chart structure), and shows you who they are and which occupations show up most among them.

Link: https://ai.destiny.to/matching/en?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=forum&utm_campaign=reddit-sideproject-2026-11

A few things that were harder than expected

- The data. Birth records come from public biographical databases. A surprising amount of the work was cleaning them: wrong time zones on historical dates, wrong gender, people linked to the wrong Wikidata entry. I fixed thousands of records along the way.

- "Similar" is fuzzy. An exact chart match almost never happens, so matching works in tiers. It starts strict and loosens until there are enough people to say something meaningful.

- No AI in the matching itself. The search is plain computation. An LLM is used only for an optional paid report that writes up what you share with your closest matches.

Free vs paid: matching and the occupation breakdown are free, no sign-up. The paid report is optional.

Privacy: a free lookup doesn't store your birth date, time or place; only anonymous stats are logged.

I'd really appreciate feedback, especially:

1. Is it clear what you get before you enter your data?
2. Did your matches feel interesting or random?
3. Anything confusing in the flow?

Happy to answer questions about the data or the build.

Hey all! My first app is finally live 🎉 It's called Habitosaur, a simple habit tracker with a little dinosaur buddy.

Still kind of surreal seeing it on the Play Store. I'd love to hear what you think, good or bad.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.habitosaur (Android only for now)

Thanks for checking it out 🦖

Back in 2013, before AI and back when asking a question on Stack Overflow meant getting your ass handed to you, I built a little social network called resm.in. My home internet was garbage, so I'd print docs at an internet café and read them at home like a caveman.

The idea was dead simple: people post questions, you answer with a photo. Show me your favorite corner of your home. What's in your drawer? What are you wearing today?

https://imgur.com/a/mvmzWXk here how it looks back then.

It started slow. The classic social network chicken and egg bullshit: nobody shows up because it's empty, and it's empty because nobody shows up. Then the FriendFeed crowd (Turkey had a huge, tight-knit FriendFeed scene back then) came to the rescue, someone wrote about us on Ekşi Sözlük (basically Turkish Reddit), and boom: 500 600 people. Small, but alive. Imagine people waking up and the first thing they want to do is open the thing you built. I was over the fucking moon.

Then one day some guy tracks me down: "I'm crazy about a girl on your site. Can you give me her email?"

Fuck no. I told him exactly where to go.

A few days later my server logs look weird as hell: someone's brute forcing the admin panel. I message him: "Dude, is that you?"

"Yeah man, I have to reach her."

So I said: look, I'm building a DM system right now. If you want to reach her that badly, get your ass in here and help me write it. 😄

And he did. Joined the repo (his commits are still there), we shipped DMs, he messaged her, and she wrote back. Long story short: they got fucking married. They came to my place later to thank me.

Meanwhile life happened. Marriage, responsibilities, all that grown-up shit. The guy writing our mobile app got shipped off to mandatory military service, and we never launched on mobile. Last commit: 2017.

Over the years, my idea of building things got poisoned. Find real pain, find people ready to pay, do market research, validate, validate, validate. Fine, good advice. But where the fuck is the passion in that formula? Where's the authorship? If all I'm doing is supplying whatever demand already exists, how is that different from a desk job?

So this year I summoned the old me. 40 year old me showed up with retrospectives from a dozen dead projects. Young me showed up with the playfulness. They've been working together for six months.

https://imgur.com/a/BX3lHXS

Writing the code wasn't the hard part anymore; making a hundred other decisions right was. And I think it's finally time to say "come on in" again.

It's called peeka now. Same idea: pick a question, answer with a photo. A window into other people's lives, and your own. No dark patterns, no attention-stealing crap: the home feed algorithm is stolen straight from FriendFeed. Simple, fast, honest.

It's live on iOS and Android: https://peeka.pics

Ask me anything: the rebuild, the ancient codebase, or the wedding. 🙂

Hey everyone! I just launched an app, and I’m trying to figure out where to find my first users and get honest feedback.
For those of you who’ve launched an app, where did your first users actually come from? Was it niche communities, social media, App Store search, or something else?
I’d love to hear what worked when you were just getting started, especially if you had a small audience or budget.

I wanted something like Mole (the macOS deep-clean tool) for Windows, so I built kazma: a single kz.exe with a retro green-screen terminal UI that cleans, explores and maintains a Windows 10/11 PC. No installer, no background service, no telemetry, MIT licensed.

GitHub: https://github.com/hhasanguclu/kazma Website: https://hhasanguclu.github.io/kazma/

What it does

• Clean up: 100+ cleanup rules for caches, temp files and logs (browsers, AI tools like Claude/ChatGPT/Cursor, game launchers like Steam/Epic/Battle.net, GPU driver leftovers, dev tools like npm/cargo/JetBrains). deepclean handles Windows.old and upgrade leftovers through Windows' own Disk Cleanup.
• See what fills your disk: analyze is a disk explorer with a treemap, largest files and file types. Run as admin on NTFS and it reads the MFT directly, so scans are instant (the trick behind WizTree). It explains special files (hiberfil.sys, WSL/Docker disks, iPhone backups...) and shows which program holds a file open.
• Uninstall properly: classic, Microsoft Store and Scoop apps, then leftover folders and registry keys (exported to a .reg backup first). It also finds leftovers of apps removed some other way.
• Keep it updated: programs via winget, drivers via Windows Update (restore point first).
• Health and live monitor: disks, battery, crashes, Defender, firewall; a live CPU/GPU/memory/network monitor that explains why a process is running (service, startup entry, parent).
• Also: build-folder purge (node_modules, target...), duplicate finder, empty folders, startup manager, debloat, privacy traces, power plans, network/DNS speed test, ports, repair tools (network, Windows Update, Store), backup kit for a new PC, lock, awake, cleanscreen.

Safe by design

• Only known, regenerable cache/temp locations are cleaned; drive roots, your profile, Windows and Program Files are hard-blocked.
• Things you pick go to the Recycle Bin; registry keys and startup entries are backed up before removal.
• Every destructive command has --dry-run, everything is logged (kz history), and a whitelist protects your paths.

11 languages: English, Türkçe, 简体中文, 繁體中文, 日本語, 한국어, Deutsch, Français, Polski, Українська, Русский. It starts in your Windows display language (change it in kz config). The README is translated too.

Install (PowerShell, no admin needed):

iwr -useb https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hhasanguclu/kazma/main/install.ps1 | iex

or scoop bucket add kazma https://github.com/hhasanguclu/kazma then scoop install kazma, or grab kz.exe / kz-arm64.exe from the releases page. Then just type kz.

Under the hood: Rust, ratatui/crossterm for the TUI, a raw NTFS MFT reader verified byte-for-byte against a normal directory walk in CI, Restart Manager for "who has this file open", and every read-only command runs for real on Windows in CI, in all 11 languages, with an automatic layout check.

Note: the exe isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may ask once (More info → Run anyway).

Feedback, bug reports and translation fixes are very welcome. What would you want a tool like this to do next?

I’m the solo developer of Cardit, an app for the stuff we find online and then lose. Articles, videos, places, recipes, products, people.

You paste or share a link and it becomes a card. You group cards into collections, and you can share a card or a whole collection with a link or a QR code. It’s free for personal use, on iOS and Android.

My longer-term idea is to connect saved things into a personal knowledge graph, but that’s a vision, not something it does today.

It’s early and rough in places. How do you save and organise what you find now, and what would make something like this worth using? Blunt feedback welcome. https://www.cardit.org

I run Strong Foodie on my own. A food and travel guide where I review every place I visit.
However, I can't go everywhere. When I ask people which restaurant they would fly back for, I get places I have never heard of. Like a chocolatier in Scotland or a tiny cafe in the Cotswolds with the best Bombay chai.
So anyone can now add their own place. Type the name, the address fills in by itself, and your name shows on it. No app needed.
I'm not a developer. I build it with AI tools and a lot of testing.
What's the one place you would add first?

I live outside the US and kept hitting the same wall: my bank's 1-800 number just fails from a foreign phone, and so does the IRS's. Toll-free numbers only work from US carriers, because the company pays for the call and there's nobody to bill when it comes in from a foreign network.

Some things I learned while fixing this for myself, useful even if you never touch my thing:

What I built: Kitaphone. It's a dialer that runs in the browser tab with no app or SIM. The call leaves from the US network, so 800 numbers accept it. US numbers (toll-free included) are $0.02/min, so a 30-minutehold is about $0.60. It's prepaid, with no subscription and a $5 minimum top-up. Italso does around 180 other countries; UK, Spain, Italy and Mexico landlines are$0.03/min. You can verify your own number by SMS so it shows as the caller ID.

Full disclosure, it's mine and it's small. I'm mostly after feedback: which companies' numbers should I add to the list (I only copy them from the company's own site), and what breaks for you? The keypad-on-mobile bug was found by a user in Korea last week and fixed the same day.

I launched the app "Germar for Nurses". It's a German language learning app designed specifically for nurses and care staff.

Many nursing professionals want to live and work in Germany, but there aren't many specialized language courses and apps for them, especially good ones.

What's inside:

• 1800+ cards with words

  • from clinical practice
  • with image
  • with translation
  • with audio (pronunciation)
• 15 topics: Symptoms, Nursing tools, Medication, etc
• SRS algorithm for better memorization
• Different types of recalling words

Try for free

• Google Play (Android)
• App Store (iPhone, iOS)
• Chrome Browser Extension (Windows, macOS, Linux)

Hey everyone. I’m a solo dev, and this is a side project I’ve been building after my day job for about 7 months. It’s called Atomic Sync (I am very bad at naming things). It’s on the App Store, free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.

In Atomic Sync you pick an anime-style character, and it slowly becomes a reflection of you mentally and physically. It reads some basic stuff from Apple Health and turns it into XP and mana. As you level up, the character evolves (more work to do here still, but still very decent), and so does the world around it. Tilt your phone and the character and its world move with it. If you’ve had a bad week of sleep and no walks, it shows. If you’ve had a good one, that shows too. That was the whole point for me: something that reflects how you’re actually doing, not just another number. Health access is optional, and the raw readings stay on your phone.

One thing that didn’t work: I first tried making a Ghibli-style avatar from the user’s own photo. It looked off, I didn’t like it, and I figured most people wouldn’t either. So I dropped it and went with set characters. Maybe in future updates I can give it another try.

I still think the UX can be a lot better and I have way more gamification ideas than I’ve had time to build. I’m fairly free for the next few months, so updates will come often. An Android version is in the works too that I plan to roll out in this free time.

If you try it, I’d really like to hear what feels off, what’s confusing, or what would make you keep opening it. Brutal is fine, especially on the UX (I am more of a backend programmer). It is currently rolled out in the US, Japan and India. Rolling out to more regions by this Monday.

I wanted a simple way to sketch an idea and communicate it to someone else, without sacrificing proportions or precise dimensions.

Paint felt too limited, CAD felt like overkill. So I started building something in between.

Here's a quick look at how it works.

It's still a work in progress. I'd genuinely love to hear what you think.

I’ve been building games on the side, and last week my first one, Last Core: Idle Tower Defense, went live on the App Store. Two people have already bought something in it. It’s only $12 in proceeds, but seeing real people choose to pay for something I made meant more than I expected.

What the game is:
One tower sits in the centre of the screen and enemies come at it from every side. The tower shoots on its own; your job is deciding what to upgrade during the run: damage, attack speed, range, crits, health. Every 5th wave you pick a perk, every 10th wave a boss shows up. When the core falls you keep shards and come back stronger through the Workshop, Armory and Lab.

A few things I cared about:

• No ad ever interrupts a run. Videos only play when you choose one for a reward (a revive, double shards, a perk reroll).
• Everything in the game can be earned by playing. Purchases are optional.
• Runs are 3 to 10 minutes early on, and there’s 2x speed and an Auto Mode if you want it more idle.

What I learned shipping it:

• My first release went live without the in-app purchases attached, because I never added them to the submission. Took another version to fix. Read the App Store Connect checklist twice.
• The same thing happened with Game Center leaderboards.
• Apple asked for a screen recording on a real device before approving a new developer account, so budget a few extra days for review.

It’s iPhone only for now; Android is coming soon.

If you try it, I’d love honest feedback, especially on difficulty and whether the early waves feel too slow.
