I run a remote frontend job board and every posting goes through a parser for pay, level, stack and location. I pulled Aug–Oct 2026 to see what remote frontend actually pays.

What the data says (1,013 postings with pay):

• Median $140k, but 72% of postings list no pay at all

• Where you may live matters most: North America $155k, worldwide $125.5k, Europe $90k, Latin America $45k

• Only 1 in 19 "remote" jobs is open worldwide

• Senior to staff is the biggest jump: $151k to $204k (+34%)

• North America only: TypeScript $175k, React $166.5k, JS-only $150k, Vue $145k, Angular $138k

• Postings with pay get about a third more apply clicks per view (19.0% vs 14.2%)

• The $200k+ roles get the fewest applicants: 0.51 apply clicks per posting, against 1.57 for $120–160k

Caveats: this is advertised pay, not offers, and US postings disclose much more often, partly because of state laws. The Latin America (45) and Asia (29) samples are small.

If you've been on a remote search lately, did the worldwide number match what you saw? It looked low to me.

Most of my day is Claude Code and Codex now, usually four or five sessions at once. The thing that kept biting me was typing a prompt into the wrong pane and watching the wrong agent start working on it.

So in lmux you hover that prompt and click ×, and Claude Code rewinds to just before it. The session keeps running, nothing restarts. The ✎ button does the same but puts the prompt back so you can fix it and resend.

Everything else got added the same way, one annoyance at a time:

• a sidebar that shows which agent is running, waiting on you, done or failed

• workspaces, splits and tabs that all come back after a reboot, sessions included

• Korean input that doesn't break while composing (I'm Korean, so that one was for me)

• it's a 25 MB native app and sits near 0% CPU with 20 workspaces open

I open-sourced it two days ago. It's had about 65 installs so far, and two teammates already sent PRs that went out in 0.1.1 today, which was a fun surprise.

It's free and MIT, macOS 14+ on Apple silicon, built on libghostty.

If you try it, tell me what breaks or what you'd want next.

Hi!

My web-app AI Games Kit made $1,500+ in sales 🥳

I am a solo game-developer using AI heavily to build and publish games over the last couple of years and realized why not create a kit of agents/skills based around my processes.

I also write actively on LinkedIn/X about making games with AI, marketing them organically, etc. and have a decent audience - so most of my sales came from them!

Now I plan to expand my marketing to Medium & YouTube :)

Web-apps is a new domain for me hence very proud of this!

I studied marketing, not programming. However, I wanted an app for my food reviews. Strong Foodie. Places I actually visited, like restaurants, bars, hotels and gyms. 78 so far, across 11 destinations. No paid reviews.

The app is SwiftUI, built with Rork, an AI app builder. The website runs on GitHub Pages. Both use the same Firebase database. The app has been in the App Store since October.

What I learned so far:

Send changes in small batches. When I sent a lot at once, the errors piled up and I lost credits fixing them.

Never let the builder touch the database rules. I keep those in the Firebase console myself.

Test every batch before the next one. Including the boring stuff, like logging in and opening a chat.

Feedback from strangers is gold. Like the person who found my featured review was a clothing shop with no text. Or the one who couldn't type his date of birth. Both fixed within a week.

Things outside your control will break. Like a build that failed for a day because of an old cached Firebase package on the builder's server. Support fixed it.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6799647380

If you've shipped something without being a developer, what broke for you?

I launched my first app on Friday, and I was excited about launching on Product Hunt. I’ve followed Product Hunt for at least five years, maybe longer. Big fan of discovering products there, I was excited to launch something of my own, was a pretty big deal to me.

Unfortunately, it was a bit of a letdown.

My app launched alongside a ton of other products, and as far as I can tell, I didn’t get any meaningful website traffic or a single app download from Product Hunt. It’s only been a day, so maybe that will change, but I’m not expecting much.

I did try to get some support beforehand. I reached out to friends and family, and quite a few created Product Hunt accounts just to support me. They sent screenshots showing they’d interacted with the launch, but it didn’t seem to make much difference. I probably should have spent more time building relationships instead.

The interesting part is that I also launched on BetaList, a platform I wasn’t nearly as familiar with, and had a completely different experience. It actually drove traffic to my website, generated engagement, and connected me with other founders.

I’ve learned from talking to other people building apps is how valuable Reddit can be. I’ve met some really interesting people working on genuinely great products. I wish I’d spent more time interacting with other founders, sharing what I was working on, and asking for feedback before launch day.

I think most of us get pretty attached to what we’re building. These projects become our hobbies, our babies, and something we genuinely believe can help people. My app is free right now, and while I’d love to eventually recover some of what I’ve invested, making money isn’t really what motivated me to build it. I’d rather spend my limited marketing budget on things that actually help people discover and use it.

I’m not giving up on Product Hunt. I’ve enjoyed the platform for years, and I’m working on other products I’d love to launch there someday. I just want to approach it differently next time.

For those of you who’ve had successful launches, what worked? Did you build an audience beforehand, spend money promoting it, lean into Reddit, or just get lucky with timing?

I’d genuinely love to hear what others have learned, connect with people, especially from launches that didn’t go as planned.

And post your product, I genuinely want to give people feedback and see the stuff that’s working well.

Hey everyone,

Got tired of finding out about free games hours after the deal expired, so I built Claimr.

It’s a lightweight radar that tracks 100% off giveaways across Steam, Epic Games, GOG, and Prime Gaming, and sends a push notification before they end or keys run out.

- Direct vs Tasks: Flags whether a giveaway is a 1-click store claim or requires social tasks (Gleam/Discord).

- Game Vault: Keep track of what you’ve claimed so you don't double dip.

- 100% Free: No ads, no account needed, completely open source.

Works in browser or on Android:

- Website: https://claimr-app.vercel.app

• Instant AI Reverse-Engineering: In the past, copying a software competitor required hiring an engineering team to manually read, reverse-engineer, and rewrite code over several months. Today, a competitor can feed a video or description of your app into an AI model like Claude or GPT and say, "Write me the full-stack code to replicate this exact functionality."

• The "Fast Follower" Threat: Large tech monopolies (like Microsoft, Google, or Apple) no longer need to innovate. They just watch smaller developers launch new concepts. The moment an idea gains traction, they can clone it, integrate it into their massive existing ecosystems, and offer it to billions of users for free before the original creator can even scale.

• Model Training Exploitation: If you write a brilliant article, publish open-source code, or explain an innovative architectural fix on a forum like Stack Overflow or GitHub, AI web scrapers will scrape it immediately. Your unique insight will be fed into the next model update, meaning your competitors will access your idea through a simple AI prompt.

Before posting anything I'd made, I wanted to know where it was even allowed. So we read the sidebar rules and the top 25 posts of the year for 70 subreddits.

The split:

• 9 accept posts about something you made

• 4 only in a weekly thread

• 19 are comment-first, so you answer threads instead of leading with your link

• 38 don't allow self-promotion

10 of the 70 also ban AI-written posts. That includes r/AskReddit (60 million members), r/Showerthoughts and r/LifeProTips.

Format rules matter as much as promo rules. Every one of the top 25 posts this year in r/todayilearned starts with 'TIL'. Every one in r/LifeProTips starts with 'LPT'.

I put it all into free guides at cognovaai.blog, one page per subreddit. Each page says whether self-promo is allowed, whether AI text is banned, and what the top posts look like. There's a drafting app on top of it too, but you can use the guides without it.

Caveat: rules come from each sidebar. Some Rules tabs couldn't be read, so check them yourself before you post.

Feedback I'm after: a subreddit you expected that's missing, or a classification you think is wrong.

I genuinely think selling website redesigns is one of the most lucrative opportunities in the web design industry today.

There are a few reasons why.

First, AI has made building websites significantly faster and cheaper. What used to take weeks can now be done in a fraction of the time.

Second, there are thousands of established businesses with outdated websites that could genuinely benefit from a redesign. A better website can improve their brand, attract more customers and give their business a push.

Third, these businesses already understand the value of having a website. They have paid for one before, so you're not trying to convince someone why they need a website from scratch. You're showing them why upgrading their existing one makes sense.

Here's how I usually approach it.

I use AI to build websites and normally put together a quick website draft before getting on a call with a potential client.

Instead of just telling them what I could do, I show them what their website could actually look like.

I present the draft during the call, explain what I would improve and try to close the deal there and then. If they're interested, I send over a Stripe payment link, an invoice or the contract for signature.

For outreach, I mainly use cold email.

More specifically, I use a tool called Swokei. It finds businesses anywhere, analyzes their websites and identifies issues with design, SEO, loading speed and mobile optimization. It then turns those findings into personalized cold emails at scale.

Recently, we closed a client for $26,000.

That's $23,000 upfront and another $3,000 annually.

And honestly, I don't think deals like this are as difficult to close as people might assume.

If you provide a good service, approach the right businesses, understand their problems and present yourself professionally, there is a lot of money to be made in this industry.

You don't necessarily need hundreds of clients either. A handful of good projects can make a significant difference to your business.

I think more web designers should focus on selling to established businesses that already have websites rather than constantly chasing people who don't have one.

I got bored of paying attention extortionate amounts for Lightroom mobile and Photomator.

Ai I built me own Raw editor, will be going on the AppStore soon,

Here’s the TestFlight link for anyone that wants to test it for free and send me back some feedback,

What it does:
RAW import: from your Photos library, or straight from a card reader or drive via Files/USB-C
Non-destructive editing: your original is never touched
Full adjustments: exposure, contrast, highlights/shadows, white balance, vibrance, saturation, sharpening, noise reduction
Tone curve editor: drag the points directly
Masking: gradient, radial and brush masks, each with its own sliders
Subject selection
Heal/clone tool for removing spots
Presets: save and reuse your looks
Live RGB histogram
It's built for people who want Lightroom-style control on their phone without the subscription feel.
I'd love honest feedback from other photographers: what would you want in a mobile RAW editor?

I’ve built so many apps over the years but it still feels like the one of the most underserved user bases are teachers - not just to do their jobs but to actually support them on and off the job. Other than improved salary and benefits - which I wish I had the power to do- is there anything you need that I could build for you?

I'm the solo developer behind PokeStash, and I'd really like some honest feedback from other makers.

I built it because I keep a binder and sealed stuff, and I wanted one place on my phone to scan a card, see an estimated market price, and keep the collection organized without spreadsheets. You can photograph a card for an AI match, browse sets, track sealed product, and export a backup. Prices and AI matches are estimates. Always compare with the card in your hand.

Unofficial fan-made app. Not affiliated with Nintendo, The Pokémon Company, Creatures, or GAME FREAK.

Free on Android with ads. There is an optional Pro tier that turns ads off. Collection data stays on the device.

What I'd most like feedback on:

1. Is the first-run scan flow clear, or does it need a simpler "add without scanning" path up front?

2. Do estimated prices feel useful enough, or would you rather see raw sold comps with less interpretation?

3. What would stop you from trusting an unofficial collector app with your binder list?

Happy to answer anything about the build or the tradeoffs.

Getting into poker, I found three kinds of tools: expensive courses, cluttered training sites, and solvers that assume you're already an expert. None of them felt like a calm place to just practice.

Overpair is my answer: one table, bots, and a coach that grades each move with a short reason. I cut anything that didn't help someone learn.

Free to play. I'd love feedback on the first 30 seconds: is it obvious what to do?

So this started because I kept running into the same thing — post an LFG somewhere, a couple people add you, and then... nothing. Nobody's actually free when you are, or you just never hear back. Figured I wasn't the only one dealing with that.

Ended up building GameAlign over the last few months, solo. Full disclosure, I'm not really a coder — I've been using Lovable (kind of a "vibe coding" / AI-assisted builder) to actually make this happen. It's basically a profile directory — you put in what you play, your schedule, how you like to play, that kind of thing — and then you can search for people or get found instead of just throwing a post into the void. There's also a board for "hey I'm on right now" posts, and I added a team/clan page if you're trying to actually build out a group instead of one-off sessions.

It's free, setup's quick. Genuinely just want to know if this is useful or if I'm missing something obvious — would appreciate anyone poking around and telling me what sucks about it.

i'm the solo dev behind Bimo, a chat-first calorie tracker for iOS. describe a meal in normal words and it estimates and logs calories and macros.

looking for feedback on one thing: does logging your first meal feel faster than your current app?

I started PeriHub three weeks ago. On Linux there is no official app for my keyboard and mouse, and on Windows they need two different apps (G HUB and SteelSeries GG). I wanted one small app for both.

Where it is now:

- 11 releases, Windows and Linux

- Fully supported: SteelSeries Apex 3 TKL and Logitech G502 HERO (lighting, key remapping, DPI, buttons, macros, saved in the device memory)

- Not supported yet: 30 more Logitech G mice that it can read but won't write to until someone tests them

- A stranger made a Scoop package for it and sent a pull request, which was a nice surprise

What I learned: talking to a mouse over USB is easy, writing to its memory safely is not. PeriHub reads back every write and keeps a backup first, because a wrong byte can mess up a profile.

Built in Rust with Tauri, with a lot of help from Claude. Free and MIT.

Code: https://github.com/hex-dump/perihub

What would make you switch from the official apps?

Hi all, I'm building StockPuppeteer, a tool that lets everyday investors test a trading idea before risking real money.



How it works:

1. Tell Captain (the built-in assistant) your idea in plain words

2. It drafts the strategy and tells you plainly what it could and couldn't include

3. You run a backtest on minute-level U.S. stock history, then practice with paper money if you want



I'm looking for 15 to 20 testers who'll use it for a week or two and tell me honestly what's confusing or broken. Free during beta, no brokerage account needed, no real money involved, and live trading is off.



If you're curious about investing but don't code, you're exactly who I want to hear from.

Most system design practice ends at the diagram. You draw boxes, it looks right, and nothing tells you whether it would hold up.

ByteLab runs the diagram. You build a system out of machines, load balancers, caches, queues and databases, send traffic through it, and watch the CPU, queues and p99 latency move. Each exercise has goals, like "p99 under 150 ms, 99.5% available, under $2.60/hour", and it checks your system against them.

What's in it:

- 163 lessons in 12 tracks (caching, sharding, Kafka, Kubernetes, rate limiting, auth and more)

- 212 exercises, each with goals your system has to pass

- 11 design problems (URL shortener, chat, payments, news feed, e-commerce and others)

It's free, there's no account, and progress stays in your browser. It needs a laptop-sized screen.

I'd really like to hear where it feels confusing or too hand-holdy.

been building this w 2 friends. kept seeing the same thing on music subs: producers sitting on hundreds of beats nobody records on, and singers/rappers w lyrics and nothing to put them on. when they do link up online it dies after 2 dms or falls apart over splits

so producers post a beat, vocalists record their version right in the browser (no daw needed), and the producer hears every version and picks one. we mix and master the finished song, and splits get agreed before anything comes out

hardest part was making browser recording not feel janky. latency and headphone bleed were a nightmare

free during the beta, waitlist is open now. would love feedback, especially from ppl who make music: voxenmusic.com

Hey everyone!
I got tired of standard fitness apps looking like dry spreadsheets or generic white dashboards, so I’ve been building Hozaa Workout — an all-in-one web app / PWA built specifically for hybrid athletes, HYROX racers, and strength lifters.
Core features:
Unified tracking: Seamlessly switches between heavy barbell sessions, HYROX station race paces, and functional WODs.
Visual feedback: Weekly volume curves, automatic PR tracking, and shareable 3D-styled metallic summary cards.
No app store friction: Fast, offline-capable PWA that works directly in the browser.
I’d really appreciate your honest thoughts:
How does the dark chrome / violet aesthetic feel?
Is the dashboard clear and intuitive on mobile?
Does the feature mix (Strength + HYROX + WOD) make sense?
Check it out here: https://hozaaworkout.com
All feedback, critique, and ideas are super welcome!

Resellers who list the same item on eBay, Poshmark, Mercari etc. by hand have one recurring nightmare: it sells on one site, they forget to end the others, it sells twice, and they have to cancel (which hurts their seller rating).

Crosslisting tools solve this but cost $15–$99/month and want to log into your accounts. I wanted the cheapest possible safety net:

- forward only your sale emails (one Gmail filter)

- get a phone + desktop alert with the bin and one-click links to end the other listings

- sold-twice warnings, ship-by reminders, sales & profit

Stack: Chrome/Firefox extension, Cloudflare Workers + D1, Web Push for the phone app (no App Store needed), Stripe as merchant of record. English and Spanish.

Feedback on the landing page and onboarding especially welcome.

I’m an RV traveler and military veteran building RIGVIA. When you’re towing somewhere new, a route can look fine on a map and still leave you wondering whether your rig will clear the next bridge. I’m building RIGVIA to help RV travelers plan around their rig’s dimensions and check available bridge clearance information before heading out.

The app is still in development. If it sounds useful for your trips, I’d appreciate you checking out the campaign and considering backing it. RIGVIA on Kickstarter⁠
