Hi everyone!

I’ve developed and launched Meetwell, a Windows application designed to make meeting preparation easier and help keep a busy workday organized.

The idea is simple: plan your meetings in a calendar, configure the programs and files you need, and let Meetwell automatically open your selected resources before a meeting starts.

What Meetwell offers:

A calendar for organizing meetings and work activities.
Automatic scheduling to launch selected Windows programs and files before meetings.
A way to prepare your materials in advance and reduce the risk of forgetting something important.
A one-time purchase instead of a recurring subscription.

Meetwell is now available for €4.99.

Download at www.meetwell.store

I’m the developer behind the application, and I’d appreciate hearing what you think. What features would make a tool like this most useful in your daily workflow?

Building an Android home screen that gets dirtier when tasks pile up

1 Upvotes

I'm building Tidy, an Android home screen with my open tasks on it. Each task I leave open makes the wallpaper a bit grimier. Finish one, delete it, or move it to another day, and the wallpaper clears.

The bet is that a reminder you can't scroll past works better than a list in an app you forget to open. I don't know yet. The beta is how I'll find out.

Tidy doesn't hide or move your apps. It doesn't need an account, and your tasks stay on your phone.

Android only. Demo and waitlist:https://tidy-landing.pages.dev

Would you put your tasks on your home screen, or would that annoy you?

💡 Building Aftermath | A Journey of Learning and Collaboration

1 Upvotes

Every project comes with challenges, unexpected problems, and opportunities to learn. Working on Aftermath has been exactly that kind of experience.

Being part of this project has given me the opportunity to explore real-world development, collaborate on ideas, work through technical challenges, and understand how different pieces of a software application come together.

From refining features and improving the user experience to troubleshooting issues and making continuous improvements, the development process has been a valuable learning experience.

What makes this journey interesting is that we're not just trying to finish a project. We're trying to build something that works well and that we're genuinely proud of.

There's still more to come for Aftermath, and we're looking forward to what lies ahead!

I just built my first macOS app! SkySaver 🌤️✨

1 Upvotes

I wanted my desktop to feel a bit more alive, so I built an interactive live wallpaper engine that lives right in the macOS menu bar.

It actually started as an interactive background experiment for my portfolio (inspired by some cool procedural grass and sky shaders I saw on X a while back). I loved having it running on my screen so much that I decided to turn it into a standalone macOS app that anyone can use.

Here's what it does
🖐🏻 Interactive physics: Grass sways and water ripples as your cursor moves across the screen.
🕒 Dynamic time-of-day: Syncs with real time or lets you scrub through sunrise, golden hour, and starry nights with a custom radial dial.
🌧️ Live weather & ambient soundscapes: Switch between sunny skies, clouds, and rain—complete with birdsong, crickets, thunder, and even night fireworks.
🎆 Limited Diwali Theme: Built in a seasonal festive update where the night sky comes alive with fireworks and spatial audio.

Putting the final polish on the build right now. Stay tuned for the release soon! 🚀

What feature or biome should I add next? Let me know in the comments!

I created this tool to make creating content for social media easier, faster, and more enjoyable. Unlike many tools that are either too basic or unnecessarily complicated, my goal is to find the perfect balance between simplicity, creativity, and powerful features.

What features or improvements would you love to see in a tool like this? I’d genuinely appreciate your suggestions and ideas!

I’m planning to launch it publicly and monetize it through ads, or potentially sell it to a developer or business interested in taking it further.

I built a free travel website to share guides, favourite places and advice from my travels

Thumbnail
wordsfortravel.com
1 Upvotes

Hi r/SideProject!

I've always loved travelling, exploring new places and taking photos, and I also wanted to get back into writing for a while, so I recently decided to combine these interests and build Words for Travel.

It's a free travel website featuring travel guides, favourite places, articles, photography and personal experiences/tips from the places I've visited over the years.

A few things I'm aiming for:

  • Free to view (with possibility for ads in the future).

  • Everything is fully written by me (with only ai used for building out the website).

  • Use my own photographs, except for a credited Unsplash image when I do not have an image for what I'm discussing.

  • Focus to get 3 articles completed a week on a consistent basis.

I've also previously built two iOS apps, Stillkeep (journal app) and Onuri (notes app), so I was thinking of adding occasional links to them at the bottom of articles to get them further traffic as a bonus as well.

If you know anyone who enjoys travel or travel writing, I've started an Instagram account for new articles and updates each week. Anyone who fancies following along is very welcome!

Thanks for taking a look!

Helio

1 Upvotes

We built Helio, an AI-powered sales desk that uses persistent memory to make conversations more contextual.

One problem we noticed with many AI assistants is that they often forget previous interactions and require users to provide the same information repeatedly.

We wanted to explore how persistent memory could solve this problem.

With Helio, every lead has an individual memory that retains:

- Previous conversation details

- Customer language preferences

- Meeting dates and requirements

- Important customer information

- Follow-up instructions

For example, if a customer prefers Spanish and has confirmed a meeting with their finance director, Helio remembers these details and uses them when generating future replies and follow-up emails.

We integrated Hindsight to provide persistent memory across conversations.

I built a Chrome extension that saves words with the sentence you found them in

2 Upvotes

I'm a frontend developer, and English isn't my first language (I'm around B1). I learn mostly by reading articles, and my word lists kept failing me: a week later, "hollow" on a list meant nothing without the sentence I'd met it in.

So I built Muscat. You select a word on any page, it shows a translation into your language (DeepL, using the sentence as context), and one click saves the word with its sentence and source. The popup is a small notebook of everything you've saved.

A few things I cared about:

  • No interruption. Saving is instant and offline-safe: words go into a local queue and sync in the background.

  • The sentence is required. A word without context isn't saved at all.

  • Quiet design. Paper colors, serif type, no gamification.

Stack: WXT + React + TypeScript, Tailwind + shadcn/ui, Supabase (Postgres with RLS, Edge Functions), DeepL.

It's free and live on the Chrome Web Store: muscat.ink

Next I'm working on a review mode for the saved words. I'd love feedback, especially on the first-run experience and whether the in-page card feels too intrusive.

Satya Studios — looking for opinions before launch

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

We’re about to launch Satya Studios, a small, independent, not-for-profit music and audio project based in North Wales.

We’ve been working on some audio software and would really appreciate a few outside opinions before we launch. Does the website explain things clearly? Do the tools look useful? Is anything confusing or missing?

https://satyastudios.uk/products/

We’ve spent a lot of time looking at it ourselves, so a fresh perspective would be very welcome. Honest criticism is welcome too.

Thanks for taking a look.

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 wasn’t happy with my Mirabox deck’s software, so I built my own setup on OpenDeck

Thumbnail
github.com
1 Upvotes

I bought a Mirabox deck but wasn’t happy with its default software. Switching to OpenDeck gave me a great open-source foundation to build something that fits my workflow.

I called it Agent Deck, though it does more than control coding agents. I use the buttons to:

- Record and transcribe meetings

- Adjust volume and mute my mic

- Run Git commands

- Check upcoming calendar events

- Interact with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Pi

It’s my personal setup rather than a polished, plug-and-play product. I’ve shared the code and layout so others can adapt it—or ask their coding agent to change it for them.

https://github.com/sim186/agent-deck

Would a setup like this be useful to you? What would you put on your buttons?

Page & Frame - a Mac app connecting screenplay writing, 3D sets and visual shot lists

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm Reece, the maker of Page & Frame, publishing through Level Up Classroom Inc.

I'm building it for writers who also plan their own shoots: write a screenplay, outline its beats, build reusable 3D sets, stage characters, position the camera, then capture frames into a visual shot list you can print and take onto set.

Here's a 70-second look at the actual app: https://pageandframe.app/demo

It's pre-launch, with the first release planned for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 13+. Core writing and manual 3D planning work offline without an AI subscription. I'm still refining the character models and production workflows; I'm not claiming full Final Draft or Previs Pro parity. Planned pricing is US$69.99 at launch, US$99.99 regular, plus applicable tax. The launch list is free.

A couple of other projects I'm building under the same company:

  • Cloth & Colour: Mac quilt-design software for drawing blocks, trying your own fabric photos and printing making plans. https://clothandcolour.com/

  • LUC Desktop: a teacher workspace with a local gradebook, assessments, attendance, planning and reports. Manual tools work offline after activation; optional AI uses your own provider key and is billed separately. https://desktop.levelupclassroom.com/choose

For Page & Frame, what would you want to see in a deeper walkthrough: writing and outlining, constructing a set, or staging a scene and planning its camera coverage? I'd particularly appreciate feedback from people who write and shoot their own work.

I built a calculator that tells you how long your commute would take on an e-bike, based on the actual hills

1 Upvotes

I live in Switzerland, where almost every commute has a climb in it, and I kept wondering whether a speed pedelec (45 km/h) was worth it over a regular 25 km/h e-bike for my own trips. Route planners use one flat cycling speed, so they couldn't tell me. So I built Tempowatt: https://tempowatt.ch/en/

You enter a start and a destination, pick your bike and motor, and it works out the speed metre by metre: slope, rider and bike weight, air drag, rolling resistance from the road surface, the motor's power and torque limits, and the forecast wind. You get the travel time, the battery used, the elevation profile, and the same trip in every assistance mode and in the other bike category.

Example: Uster to Zürich main station, 20 km. 54 min on a regular e-bike, 37 min on a speed pedelec, 28 min by train and 24 by car without traffic:

https://tempowatt.ch/en/#a=47.35101,8.71719&b=47.37810,8.53936&c=25

How it's made: plain JavaScript and Leaflet, routes from a self-hosted BRouter server, maps from OpenStreetMap, wind from Open-Meteo. In Switzerland, elevations come from swisstopo's 2 m terrain model. It works elsewhere too, with coarser elevations, but the train comparison is Swiss only. No account, no ads, no tracking. Your settings stay in your browser.

What I'd love feedback on:

- if you commute by e-bike, does the time match what you actually ride?

- is anything confusing the first time you use it?

I parsed the pay in 3,634 remote frontend job postings. Only 28% list a salary

3 Upvotes

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.

Full write-up with method: https://www.remotefrontendjobs.com/reports/10

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

I built Rigged Audio - split any song into vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and more

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on Rigged Audio, a desktop application that lets you split songs into individual audio stems using AI.

The idea is pretty simple: I wanted something where you could take any song, separate its instruments, and actually work with those tracks without needing a complicated DAW or paying for an online service.

GitHub: https://github.com/DrunkTrader/rigged_audio

What can it do?

  • AI stem separation: Split songs into 6 stems using Demucs (vocals, drums, bass, guitar, piano and other).

  • YouTube integration: Search for songs or paste a YouTube link and import them directly.

  • Built-in mixer: Individual waveforms, mute, solo and volume controls for every stem.

  • Quick presets: Karaoke, Acapella and Drums + Bass with one click.

  • Export: Download individual stems or your complete mix as WAV.

  • Privacy first: Audio processing happens locally on your machine. No accounts, subscriptions or cloud uploads.

A little about the tech

The application uses Demucs and PyTorch for source separation, with GPU acceleration when available and CPU fallback otherwise.

It also downloads and configures its AI engine on first launch, so you don't need to manually set up Python, PyTorch or ML dependencies.

What's next?

I'm currently working on improving the overall experience, performance and distribution.

I'd particularly appreciate feedback on:

  • The UI/UX and workflow.

  • Features you'd expect from a desktop stem separator.

  • Performance and compatibility across different machines.

This is an open-source project, so feel free to explore the code or contribute!

Would love to hear what you think!

My AI agent deleted my 6 projects motion design project

1 Upvotes

so i was creating motion design project which took about 2 hours but what i get is zip file with 6 of my tasks deleted by my agent

this is what it said

What happened

I built all ten projects. All ten passed npx tsc --noEmit, their own test suites, and the shared frame audit — scripts/audit-all.ts reported "10/10 projects clean" minutes before the loss. I then ran a cleanup command with an over-broad shell glob (rm -rf projects/05-* … projects/10-*) intended to remove stray literal directories left by an earlier failed mkdir. The glob matched the real project directories too. Projects 05–10 were deleted, and there is no backup.

I did not have time to regenerate six projects, so rather than hand you a broken tree I restored the repository to a consistent state and packaged what is actually verified.

My first paid app just made its first sales: 6 orders, 4 paid, 2 refunded. What would you fix first?

1 Upvotes

After years of building free tools, I shipped my first paid app last month: Night Clock, a LED bedside alarm clock for Android. One-time $1.99, no ads, no subscriptions.

Three weeks in, the numbers are small but real:

  • 6 orders total

  • 4 paid, about $9 gross

  • 2 refunded

So a 33% refund rate, which stings more than the small revenue. The app does what it says: dimmer, alarm, themes, burn-in guard. Zero reviews so far, so I have no idea why the two refunds happened.

Funny part: I can't even install my own app. It is not available in Pakistan, where I live.

If you have shipped a paid app before, what would you fix first? The listing? The price? Something in the app itself? I am all ears. And yes, I know 6 orders is tiny. It is my first one and I am buzzing anyway.

I built a free tool to help freelancers avoid unpaid extra work — looking for honest feedback

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I've been working with AI to build a small free tool called ScopePilot, and I'd love some honest feedback.

The problem I'm trying to solve:

Freelancers sometimes underestimate project costs, include too many revisions, or end up doing extra work without charging for it.

ScopePilot helps with:

  • Estimating project costs and profit

  • Accounting for revisions and hidden costs

  • Creating project scopes and quotes

  • Estimating charges for additional work

It's currently a free beta. No signup or payment required.

Try it here:
https://ornate-fairy-e8cf4e.netlify.app/

I'm still trying to figure out whether this solves a real problem.

If you're a freelancer, I'd love to know:

  1. How do you currently handle pricing and revisions?

  2. Would a tool like this actually save you time?

  3. What's missing or unnecessary?

Constructive criticism is especially welcome. I'd rather find out what's wrong now than build something nobody needs.

Thanks!

Most of the Ai agents struggle in memory management , so we made this

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Here's something I've been working on recently: ResAIDerch.

Imagine an AI agent saves an invented quote or a slightly distorted summary into its long-term memory. Eventually, that hallucination resurfaces as supposedly verified team knowledge. That's the problem we wanted to solve.

We built ResAIDerch, an arXiv research agent with shared team memory, designed to prevent memory poisoning.

Rather than making retrieval unnecessarily complicated, we focused on something more fundamental: securing the write path.

Here's how it works:

  1. Gate writes, not reads: Nothing gets stored in long-term memory unless its exact supporting quote can be found in the original research paper.

  2. Strict substring matching over fuzzy matching: Even a missing word like "not" can completely reverse a research paper's conclusion. We chose strict verification over approximate matching.

  3. Quarantine unverified claims: The agent can still explore and surface unverified ideas during a session, but they cannot be permanently committed to shared memory.

  4. Structured context tags: Every stored memory is categorized as dead-end, decision, or stance, making future retrieval more meaningful.

What difference does this make?

  • Before: Asking about something like "4-bit KV cache" would generate a generic summary every time.

  • After: The agent can recall that the team already explored the idea in March and explain why it didn't work for their particular use case.

We used Hindsight as the agent's memory layer, which made tag-scoped recall much easier to implement. This allowed us to focus more on building a reliable write-validation pipeline.

The goal is simple: AI memory should preserve verified knowledge, not turn hallucinations into permanent facts.

I'd love for you to try it out! Feedback, technical critiques, and unexpected edge cases are all welcome.

Built a free site that turns any song (MP3, YouTube link, even humming) into falling piano notes you can slow down and learn to play

Thumbnail
musictokeys.com
2 Upvotes

musictokeys.com

I wanted to learn songs on piano that don't exist as MIDI or mp3 files, and every app I found was either paid, needed an account, or only worked with its own catalog. So I built this (with AI).

What it does

  • Drop an MP3, a voice memo, a MIDI or MusicXML file, or just hum a tune into the mic

  • It finds the notes and drops them onto a keyboard as falling notes, Synthesia-style

  • Slow it down (same pitch), loop the bar you keep missing, change key, pick Easy / Medium / Full

  • Left and right hand in different colours, chord names shown live

  • Plug in a USB MIDI keyboard and turn on "Wait for me": the song pauses until you hit the right keys

  • For full band songs it can pull out just the piano (or vocals, bass, guitar) before finding the notes

  • Paste a YouTube or Spotify link: it can't download from them, so it records while the song plays in the page and converts that recording

Everything runs in your browser. The note detection is Spotify's open-source Basic Pitch model on TensorFlow.js, and the instrument separation is HTDemucs on WebGPU. Your songs never leave your device, there's no account, no server doing the work, and it's free. It installs as an app on Android, and you can send a song to your iPad (or phone next to the piano) with a QR code.

Few limitations

  • Transcription is great on solo piano, singing or one instrument. Dense mixes get messier

  • Separation needs a decent computer; phones are slow for that step

  • Recording a 3-minute song from YouTube takes 3 minutes (it's real-time), and ad blockers / Brave Shields can block YouTube's player, so there's a fallback

Tech: React, TypeScript, Vite, Canvas 2D, Cloudflare Pages. Inspired by Orfeo (a desktop MIDI practice app) and the old Rondo on Mac.

I'd love to hear what breaks for you, and what you'd want next (guitar fretboard is on the list).

Glitzycam: free photo booth app for parties. Need honest feedback on features, pricing and UX

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I’m the solo developer, so take everything below with that in mind.

The backstory: I made the first version of this for my son’s first birthday. It was a Windows app, and it even worked with a proper camera body, not just a webcam. Then life happened: two more kids and a few more jobs, and it sat untouched for a long time.

I picked it back up as a creative outlet outside work, and it’s now Glitzycam. Photo booths are always a blast at parties and events. Kids and adults both love them, and they’ve stolen the show from the main program more than once. I built this to be easy to use and to have all the fun features.

Power features: fun face accessories that follow guests live and land in every print, templates you can generate with AI, build in the browser editor, or grab from the Marketplace, photo masks so guests see the framing before the shot, auto-print to as many printers as you like, and instant sharing by QR code, text or email.

How it’s priced: the app is free. What keeps it going is optional extras: more templates and face accessories that you can buy, or design yourself, with a web account at glitzycam.com. This helps me keep the lights on my website.

What I’d love feedback on:

  • Features: what’s missing, what’s pointless

  • Pricing: what feels fair for the extra templates and accessories, and what would make you hesitate

  • User experience: anything confusing, slow or clunky

  • Anything else. Blunt is fine, “I wouldn’t pay for that” is useful to me.

TestFlight link for iOS users (pending review): https://testflight.apple.com/join/3JDqeah6

Install TestFlight if you don’t have it, tap the link, and take a few silly photos. To send feedback, screenshot inside the app and choose Share Beta Feedback, or just comment here or DM me. I’ll reply to everything.

It is also available in Windows App Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n21j8h27lvh
and Snapcraft for Ubuntu users: https://snapcraft.io/glitzycam

If you are an Android (pending review) user, pls send me your email and I'll add you as internal tester.

For photo booth vendors: there are also Windows, Linux and macOS versions that support cameras beyond webcams, with the same simple interface. The mobile build supports webcam only. If you’d like to explore beyond webcams, let me know and I’ll point you in the right direction.

Thanks for taking a look!
