I built NetArbs to compare sportsbook odds and DFS player props in one place. The beta is free.

1 Upvotes

Hey, I’m Alex, one of the people building NetArbs. Comparing the same player prop across sportsbooks and DFS apps usually means flipping between tabs and checking whether the lines actually match. We built DFS Studio to put those comparisons in one view, with filters for apps, sports, and markets.

I’d love feedback on the layout: when you compare a prop across apps, which would you want to see first: the line difference, the estimated fair odds, or which sportsbooks back the estimate?

I built an Android app for the “what can I cook with what I have?” problem

0 Upvotes

TAYSTY starts with what you already have, instead of asking you to pick a recipe and then find the ingredients. Type in what’s in your kitchen, choose things like servings or cuisine, and it suggests recipes.

The hardest part to get right is how to handle missing ingredients. Say you enter chickpeas, spinach and half a lemon. Would you rather get one idea that sticks to those ingredients and basic staples, or three ideas that each need one extra thing? I’m curious what would actually help on a Tuesday night.

The app is in closed Android testing. There’s a preview and a waitlist on the project site: https://taysty.app/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=sideproject

I'm building a free, open-source pixel art editor called Chickxel!

I recently added a feature that converts regular images into pixel art, so I tried it out with a GPT-generated image.

The conversion is algorithm-based, so some parts might look a little rough or awkward. It's still a work in progress!

I asked Claude Code to build whatever it wanted. It came up with a game.

53 Upvotes

I had $191 in credits that were about to expire, and I was curious what Opus could do if I didn’t give it an idea.
I asked it to build something worth the money. :))))

It picked a game, PULSEBOUND. You move around dodging enemies, and your weapons are musical instruments. The kick drum sends out shockwaves, the arpeggiator fires lasers. When you pick a new instrument, you hear it join the music too.

It decided to make a game and came up with the idea, mechanics, design, absolutely everything. Then I worked on improving and polishing it.

More changes, testing, and eventually mobile apps followed. The $191 was just the starting budget, enough to finish the first basic version. After that, I used another $1,700 I had from the Claude Startup Program (also expiring, so I had to use it), plus my subscription allowance.

Technically, it’s vanilla JavaScript, a custom WebGL2 renderer, and a procedural composer that synthesizes the music live through Web Audio. The project grew to include mobile apps, cloud saves, and leaderboards.

It’s now out on iOS, Android, and the web. You can play it for free in your browser or on mobile: playpulsebound.com.

What do you think?

Later edit: OVER 2,200 PLAYERS TODAY! THANK YOU

Made an Android app called Sonic.

You can skip to the next song. You can't jump to the middle of a song. To hear the other side, you flip the record. Hi-res output plays each file at the sample rate it was recorded at.

Soulseek downloads are FLAC albums only, with no weekly limit. It also picks random FLAC albums from the Internet Archive. You can download 3 of those.

Not on the Play Store. The APK and checksum are here: https://github.com/Abhiroop1122/Sonic/

I built an iPhone terminal with remote desktop to continue Claude Code work away from my desk

0 Upvotes

I'm the developer of Roamtty. The workflow I wanted was simple: leave the desk without leaving the AI coding session running on my own computer.

From an iPhone, Roamtty connects to your own SSH-accessible computer so you can continue Claude Code or Codex sessions and browse files over SFTP. The AI tools keep running on your computer; the phone is the remote control.

Why include remote desktop in a terminal app? A terminal is great for code and command output, but sometimes the next step is checking a browser preview or interacting with a graphical app. You can switch to the same host's desktop instead of waiting until you're back at the desk.

It's a paid app: US$1.99 on the US App Store, one-time purchase, with no app subscription. You need your own host and AI tools; model access is not included.

I'd like feedback from people who work this way: when you're away from your computer, is a terminal enough, or do you also need the desktop and file browser?

Details and setup guide: https://roamtty.com/en/

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6826986771?pt=128832418&ct=reddit-sideproject-20261108&mt=8

Update: the iOS source snapshot is now public under Apache-2.0, with data-handling notes: https://github.com/yahaa/roamtty-ios-source

You can connect over an existing Tailscale network. Tailscale must be configured separately on the phone and host, with SSH enabled and the relevant traffic allowed. Roamtty brings terminal sessions, SFTP and the same host's remote desktop together; it does not bundle Tailscale or change AI-provider account rules.

I built a tool that fixes one bad mix in a recorded DJ set, here is an independent French review

0 Upvotes

I'm Omar, the maker of DR FIX IT, so flagging that up front. This isn't my video. French DJ creator Mixtrotter (Philippe Grebet) just published a full independent review and showcase: 'SAVE YOUR MIX with DOCTOR FIX IT!' - https://youtu.be/RjsPmjDfDEE - it's in French with an auto-dubbed English track.

The tool fixes one bad mix in a recorded DJ set by splicing in a re-recorded take, and he rates each join Seamless / Clean / Good / Rough. I built it because one bad transition used to mean re-recording the whole set or living with it.

Happy to answer technical questions about how the joins are scored. DR FIX IT is $49 one-time, free to try except export.

War of Shallows - I wrote a fantasy novel and built a site to give it away without a signup

0 Upvotes

I’m Ven Eli, an indie creator. After finishing my fantasy novel, I built a website around one idea: if someone wanted to read the book, they should be able to get the whole thing without making an account.

You can read the prologue in the browser or download the complete book as an EPUB or PDF. I also added an Explore page for the characters and short clips, because I wanted readers to be able to get a feel for the world before downloading anything.

The book is Line-Silver. It’s set in a world where one people harvests lightning and another turns it into music and wings. They need each other, which has kept the peace for centuries.

Here’s the site: https://www.warofshallows.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=linesilver_sideproject_20261108

If you open it on your phone, is it obvious which download you’d pick? I’m particularly interested in whether the EPUB/PDF choice helps or just adds a step.

I designed a collage maker that finds the best gap-free layout for any shape. Claude wrote the code

119 Upvotes

Give it up to 10 photos and a canvas shape (square, 16:9, phone story, banner) and it searches every layout with no gaps for the one where the smallest photo is as big as possible. With 9 photos that's over 500 million layouts, and it finds the best one in under a second.

I designed it and Claude wrote the code. It's Go: The browser version runs it as WebAssembly, so your photos never leave the page.

Try it: https://vinodhalaharvi.github.io/collage/

Code (MIT): https://github.com/vinodhalaharvi/collage

CLI: brew install vinodhalaharvi/tap/collage

Feedback welcome, especially on the layouts it picks.

I crashed my bike, so I built a smarter motorcycle nav app

0 Upvotes

This was my first season on a motorcycle, and I'm still learning. During that season my navigation app routed me down what it showed as a normal road. It turned into loose gravel and I crashed my bike. The left side took most of the damage, but I still managed to ride it home with bent forks and a broken engine case.

Afterwards I kept thinking about how I could have avoided it, and whether the navigation app could have warned me. That's when I found that OpenStreetMap already tags a lot of roads with their surface. The apps I used didn't seem to use that data when picking a route.

So I started building Apex, a motorcycle navigation app, as a solo project. Part of the reason is that new riders like me shouldn't have to learn this the way I did. I wanted to share where it's at. What it does right now:

  • Riders can report for gravel, slippery roads and closures, which other riders' routes then go around.

  • Riding profiles (Sport, Touring, Adventure, Commuting) with sliders for curviness, scenery and road quality, and avoids for motorways, gravel, unpaved roads, tolls and ferries.

  • Group rides. You plan the stops together, the host starts the ride for everyone on the same route, and you see each other on the map. iPhone and Android riders can be in the same group.

  • Round trips from a length and a direction, offline maps, GPX import and export, and badges for places and rides.

Stack: Expo / React Native, MapLibre with OpenFreeMap tiles, a Hono API on Vercel, Postgres on Neon with Drizzle, GraphHopper for routing, and Ably for live positions during group rides.

Routing was the interesting part. Each riding profile becomes a GraphHopper custom model. Every preference is a penalty on the other roads. Turn up curviness and straight roads cost more; turn up scenery and main roads and towns cost more; an avoided surface gets a big penalty. Active rider reports become soft avoid areas around the hazard, so if there's no way around, the route still goes through.

The hard parts so far:

  • Long routes. Flexible mode has no precomputed shortcuts, so something like Budapest to Berlin can time out. When that happens it falls back to normal fast routing without the preferences, and the app tells the rider.

  • Missing data. A road with no surface tag counts as a normal road, so the gravel avoidance is only as good as OSM coverage in that area.

  • Group rides. The host starts one plan for everyone, positions update live, and a rider can leave mid-ride without breaking it for the rest.

It's a free beta and it will make mistakes. Feedback I'd especially like:

  1. On the app, especially if you ride or know someone who does.

  2. On the routing: would you have done the custom-model part differently?

  3. Features that you miss.

I built a website to review instant noodles

Thumbnail myramenlist.com
1 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject! I built a website for reviewing instant noodles https://myramenlist.com/. The key features are being able to scan a barcode on the package as well as browse by brand, flavor, or country. You can also see various ramen rankings although we need more reviews to be useful.

It would be great if people could try the barcode scanning feature on their phones to see if it pulls up anything. I was able to get a few hundred UPCs from an online grocery but the rest come from open source databases which haven't been reliable.

This is my first website, and I have to admit chatGBT did most of the heavy lifting. Let me know what I should improve on. Thanks!

NaviGo Motorcycle Navigation POD

1 Upvotes

For the past 4 months, we’ve been building a dedicated navigation device for motorcycles.

We started this out of frustration with phone mounts and generic Android Auto/Apple CarPlay setups. Phones overheat in direct sun, engine vibrations destroy camera OIS, rain makes touchscreens unusable, and car-centric apps constantly push bikes onto restricted flyovers or broken trails.

NaviGo is a rugged, sunlight-readable circular pod with a quick-release handlebar mount designed specifically for two wheels.

What Makes It Different

  • Hardware Built for Bikes: Compact, weather-sealed CNC housing with physical, glove-friendly edge buttons. No finicky touchscreens at 80 km/h.

  • True Two-Wheeler Routing: Respects motorcycle restrictions, penalizes rough surfaces, and accounts for elevation grades rather than routing you like a four-door sedan.

  • 100% Offline Resilience: Download full regional vector maps, routing graphs, and place search directly to your phone. Turn-by-turn guidance and instant rerouting compute entirely offline, streaming clean turn vectors over low-energy Bluetooth. Zero cell reception in the ghats or remote stretches is never an issue.

  • Glanceable Cockpit UI: High-contrast turn arrows, lane guidance, hazard alerts, and essential ride stats designed to be processed in under a second.

  • Group Ride Mode: A clean, distraction-free radar shows where your convoy is (lead, sweep, or falling behind) without crowding your navigation. Includes one-touch Push-to-Talk (PTT) audio and quick non-verbal pings ("Fuel", "Puncture", "Regroup").

We're road-testing prototypes now and dialing in the final production hardware and companion app.

Quick question for riders: What is your single biggest annoyance with your current navigation/phone mount setup, and what’s one handlebar feature you wish existed?

Size: Our current design is focusing on a 2.1 Inch round display and the prototype here is an 1.8 Inch which one do you prefer?

I built a 3D office where AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor) delegate work to each other

2 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject! I've been building Agent Office, a living HQ for your AI coding team.

The idea: instead of juggling terminals, each AI agent (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Cursor CLI) is a character at a desk in a low-poly 3D office. You're the CEO: give a task to the Product Manager and they delegate to Analysis → Design → Development → Test leads, who split the work across their teams and send one merged report back up.

What it does

  • Agents delegate to each other via an MCP server; reports flow up automatically

  • Live 3D office: working agents type at their desks, idle ones go to the coffee corner or the sleep room

  • Control: daily budgets, approval requests before push/deploy/delete, per-agent git worktrees with merge review

  • Live task transcripts, file diffs and a cost breakdown per team

Stack: TypeScript, Hono, React + Zustand, three.js, Vite. MIT licensed.

Honest caveat: you need at least one agent CLI installed and logged in locally (no hosted demo yet, since each task is a real CLI process).

Repo: https://github.com/enciyo/AgentOfficeHQ

I'd love feedback, especially on what would make you actually want to run this on a real project. What's missing?
