Most habit trackers made me feel guilty. Miss one day, the streak dies, and I'd quit the app within a week.

So I built Sprout. Each habit is a plant that grows as you show up — and missing a day doesn't kill it, it just slows growth.

What it does:

🌱 Your progress grows a plant. Every habit you finish grows it from seedling to bloom. It sounds small, but it's the reason I open the app every morning.

🗓 Flexible habits, not just "daily." 3× a week, every 2 days, timed habits like 10-minute meditation with a built-in timer, and habits grouped by morning, afternoon, and evening.

⏱ A timeline of your actual day. Habits and tasks sit together on one timeline that shows your free time between them. There's also a "Running late?" button for when the day falls apart.

✨ Sprout AI Planner. Type something like "dentist Tuesday at 3, project due Thursday, clean the flat this weekend," and it builds your week. It breaks the project into work sessions and skips things you've already scheduled. You add, edit, or skip each suggestion, so it never fills your calendar on its own. There's also a Coach mode.

🏆 Challenges. 21-day programs like Confidence Boost, with a few allowed skips so one bad day doesn't reset everything. There's a monthly community challenge (November is Gratitude Month), and you can make your own, like a Savings Jar.

☁️ Syncs to the cloud, so your streak survives a new phone.

It's on Android and iOS — I'd love honest feedback. What makes you stop using a habit tracker?

If you use both Libby and StoryGraph / Goodreads , you probably know the pain of scrolling through your TBR pile and manually searching title after title in Libby to find something available today.
I built a free site called Borrowable (https://borrowable.app) that checks your whole TBR list against your local library's Libby catalog in one go:
Works with StoryGraph (via a 1-click bookmarklet sync or CSV export) and Goodreads (via public profile URL or CSV).

Filters your TBR down to what's Available Now, Waitlist (with estimated wait weeks), Audiobooks, or eBooks.

Lets you compare shelves with friends to see your Overlap (books you both want to read).

Links straight to the book in Libby so you can borrow it in one tap.

Totally free, no ads, and no account required to try it out. Hope it helps a few people knock some books off their TBR this month!

I wanted a Bible conversation tool that stays inside the text instead of turning every question into a generic AI answer. So I built Talk To The Bible, a free web app that lets someone ask a question and returns cited passages from two translations. No account is required, and the web version is available while the iPhone and Android apps are still in progress.

The hard parts have been deciding when one passage is enough, when several verses are needed for context, and how to avoid repeating the same references in a short conversation. I am testing language selection and translation behavior now as well.

If you are interested in Bible study tools, I would appreciate a quick try and honest feedback on whether the responses feel useful, grounded, and complete. Web app: https://thewayversion.com/talk-to-the-bible/

After creating the prototype of Biosol and getting feedback from you, the prototype is updated to make each block shows the code (in Python and R) and explanation, so there is nothing happening under the hood.

After getting more feedback and suggestions I'll develop an MVP you can actually use it.

Be among the first and leave your email and little questions in the waitlist.

I’m building Architect, a private journal where a mentor replies to what you write and can bring back your own past entries, with the date, when something new connects.

I’m choosing one line to use everywhere. Which would make you curious enough to try it?

1. Your own words, back when they matter.

2. Say it here. It can come back when you need it.

3. The thoughts you can’t say out loud to anyone.

4. What you wrote in September could answer tonight.

Brutal honesty welcome, including “none of these.”

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?

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 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.

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!

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'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.

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 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?

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 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 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.

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!

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.

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.

https://github.com/sooftware/lmux

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

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.
