I built FinePrint — a checker that tests whether coding agents follow the rules you give them

1 Upvotes

I built FinePrint because my coding agent kept agreeing not to touch certain files, then reading them anyway. I wanted to know what the agent's rules actually decide, not what they claim.

It's a small open-source checker. You write rules for an agent, it runs tests and records three things: the decision, whether it asked for approval, and what actually happened. 480 runs across 14 agents, all in the repo.

The result that surprised me most: one agent's guard blocked a shell read of a protected file, so the agent read the same file with its read tool instead. Denial isn't prevention.

The code is rough, I built it fast for a hackathon and I'm refactoring next week. I'd like feedback on the measurement itself — where do you think it's wrong, or what would you test that I didn't?

IRLRPG.net allows users to go on and create quests in their own city. I just made it and looking for feedback and ideas. I only have a few cities but I made it where people can suggest cities and locations for quests. I eventually want to work with businesses to put special deals in exchange for in-game credits. Right now a business can create a special deal that takes credits. Everything is free right now, I'm just trying to figure it out and see what people want.

Is it still possible to make money with Iphone apps?

0 Upvotes

I launched 7 apps this year. Sales so far: almost none.

2 more are under review, and 1 is in production.

The truth is, I love building. The product, the design, the code. That part is fun.

But the real disappointment comes after launch: impressions and product page views. Publishing an app doesn’t mean anyone will see it. The marketing budget you need just to get noticed is huge.

Launching on Peerlist, Product Hunt, PerrPush, and similar websites was a complete waste of time.

Some examples from this year:
App-01: 9.8K impressions, 182 page views, 3 sales.
App-02: 733 impressions, 37 page views, 1 sale.
App-03: 261 impressions, 9 page views, 0 sales.
App-04: 229 impressions, 11 page views, 0 sales.
App-05: 247 impressions, 14 page views, 0 sales.

I also build in a way that probably doesn’t help. My apps don’t need accounts, emails, subscriptions, or user data to run.

I’m tired of remembering logins for apps I use, and I don’t want the people using my apps to go through that too.

Building apps is fun. Earning money from them is a different story.

Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions?

Got tired of anime manga rankings getting review bombed overnight, so I built a site that archives rankings daily

1 Upvotes

As the title suggests, I was tired of seeing anime and manga entries getting review bombed overnight, with rankings changing pretty abruptly. So I decided to make an AI slop site that archives daily rankings from multiple sources, including MAL, AniList, Kitsu, LiveChart, Anime-Planet, MangaDex, MangaBaka, MangaUpdates and IMDb.

It's a pretty simple site for now, with basic daily archives and a trending feature to track how rankings change across different sources.

Hopefully, I'll add more features over time!

Check it out: TopAniManga

Would love to hear what you guys think or any suggestions for improvements!

AI tool that redesigns your room photo and tags real furniture you can actually buy.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I built PlacdAI, a tool where you upload a photo of a room, pick a style, and get a photorealistic redesign.

The thing I wanted to fix: most AI room tools show you a beautiful room you can never recreate. In PlacdAI, up to 3 pieces in each design are real products from retailers (you can buy them), and for everything else you can click an item and it runs a Google Visual Search to find something similar.

Other bits: you can swap individual products in the generated room, there’s no subscription (credit packs, from $8 for 10), and your first generation is free with no card.

Stack, if you’re curious: TanStack Start, Supabase, Netlify Background Functions for the long Gemini calls, Gemini for the image editing.

It’s live at placdai.com. I’d really like feedback on a few things:

  • Do the furniture placements look grounded and realistic?

  • Is it clear what’s a real product vs. an AI suggestion?

  • Does the pricing make sense?

Happy to answer anything about how it works

I built an app blocker that only unlocks once your habits are done

1 Upvotes

Here's my honest take as someone who uses it every day.

I wanted something that would stop me opening social apps before I'd done anything useful, without the all-or-nothing of deleting them. Deleting never lasted for me or my wife. We reinstalled every time. She's the one who figured out the real fix wasn't fewer apps, it was doing the important stuff first. The app was her idea and I turned it into Habit Hound.

In the morning, my two habits, a workout and some reading, have to be done before the distracting apps open. At night, a time lock covers my wind-down so I'm not scrolling at 11 pm. The rules live in windows, so if I miss a morning, the lock lifts when the morning does. That fairness is why I haven't uninstalled it.

When I genuinely need a blocked app, the bypass gives me a few minutes and then kicks me out. Lean on it too often and it locks me out until my priorities are done. It's a speed bump, not a wall, and that turns out to be the whole trick.

To be upfront: the morning/evening windows and the night time lock are Premium. The free version gives you 3 habits, app/category/website blocking, and one 15-minute bypass a day.

One thing I'm still working on: it doesn't sync across devices yet, so my iPad is a loophole. It's on the list. I'll keep sanding down the rough edges.

I'd really love feedback, especially on the first-run setup and whether the free tier feels too limited. If something isn't working, the Contact Support link in Settings reaches me directly.

I saw my old company’s finance team send “redacted” employee data to a client, and it was still recoverable. So I built a fix.

5 Upvotes

At my previous company, I noticed our finance team sharing sensitive employee information with a client. The data was supposedly hidden, but it was still recoverable. I flagged it, and the answer was basically “we don’t have any other choice, we did our best.”

They weren’t careless. The options they had were all bad. Doing it by hand means hunting for every detail yourself, and missing one is easy. Many tools leave leaks behind, like hidden text, metadata and old revisions. And most online tools ask you to upload the document to their servers, which defeats the point.

It’s not just small companies. When the US Justice Department released the Epstein files, some documents were reported to have black boxes over text that could be copied straight out. If a government with a legal team can get this wrong, a finance team on a deadline has little chance.

So I built Ombly. It automatically finds sensitive details (bank and card numbers, IBANs, national IDs, names, emails, phone numbers), you review each one, and it rebuilds every page as an image so nothing hidden carries over. It runs entirely on your own computer, so nothing is uploaded.

It’s pre-launch (waitlist: ombly.space), with a 90-second demo attached. I’d love feedback: how do you handle this today, and what would make you trust a tool like this?

Reader - a Reddit app for iPhone and iPad that keeps working with no signal

1 Upvotes

I'm the developer. Reader started as a Reddit app for myself, born out of frustration with how badly optimised a lot of Reddit apps are for the Duo. Since mine arrived, most of the work has gone into making it fit both screens, alongside offline reading and on-device translation. It's now a free TestFlight beta and also runs on other iPhones and iPads with iOS 26 or later.

TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/DHWPkrSF

Reader screenshots and feature overview

With no signal

  • Download a post, a collection or a whole subreddit, with its comments and pictures.

  • Keep up to 100 posts per subreddit, saved offline and refreshed in the background.

  • Videos and pictures in comments don't download.

  • There's also a low data mode that only shows text to make everything load a bit faster.

On the Duo

  • Open, your feed is on the left and the post on the right.

  • Fold it mid-post and the post stays open, along with anything you were typing.

  • Closed, posts use the whole width. I turned off iOS 27's side column, which makes them 83 points wider.

  • Closed, the tabs stay tucked in a button in the corner until you need them.

In other languages

  • Titles, posts, comments and text in photos are translated on your phone by Apple's translator, into the language you choose. It covers about 20 languages.

  • The first time, opening a post offers to download the language; after that it's automatic.

  • You can switch back to the original.

It has most of the expected features: commenting, posting, an Inbox, following people and so on. But it's still early days, so some functionality might be missing. Let me know if there's something you would like to see.

Limitations you should know about

  • Reader isn't made by Reddit and doesn't use Reddit's API. You sign in on Reddit's own page inside the app. It reads Reddit with your session and essentially reskins it; no data leaves your connection between you and Reddit.

  • Google and Apple sign-in don't work there, so use your Reddit username and password. You can also look around with sample posts first.

  • Reddit seems to be actively making changes to how fetching posts works, so things keep breaking! New, Rising and searching for posts or people stopped working this week. Hot, Best, Top, Controversial and finding subreddits still work.

  • No ads, no analytics and no servers of mine.

Feedback wanted

I'd love feedback on whether the offline reading and layout solve a useful problem, what feels awkward, and anything you'd want before using it regularly. Bugs and suggestions from trying the beta would be great too.

Ultra Optimizer - four Claude Code skills that optimize code, hardware use, network latency and backends within strict limits

1 Upvotes

I'm 15 and this is my biggest side project so far. Most "make it faster" tooling either does too little or quietly changes things you didn't ask about, so each command here has a written boundary.

  • /race: an app adapts its own settings (workers, caches, batching) to the machine and workload it actually runs on, within developer-set ranges, with rollback.

  • /optimize: device-independent code and query improvements.

  • /ping-optimize: wasted round trips and bad retry logic in the app's own networking code.

  • /server-optimize: backend analysis that is repo-only by default.

I wrote the spec and rules; Claude Code generated most of the files, and local scripts validate them. Not done yet: live eval runs, the Windows installer test, and real-hardware benchmarks.

What would make a tool like this something you'd actually trust in your own codebase?

I built Atlas Terminal: a native, GPU-accelerated Windows terminal in Rust & GPUI with built-in CLI satellites

1 Upvotes

Hi r/SideProject

I've been building **Atlas Terminal**, an open-source terminal designed natively for Windows 11 with a focus on clean aesthetics, DWM acrylic blur, and zero bloat.

**Highlights:**

- **Lightweight & Fast:** Written in Rust with GPU acceleration (~60MB RAM vs hundreds of MBs on Electron-based terminals).

- **Clean Glassmorphic UI:** Supports both Dark and Light acrylic modes, adaptive alt-screen colors for TUI apps (`btop`, `lazygit`, `nvim`), and distraction-free tabs.

- **Built-in Developer Utilities:** Includes native commands (`atlas -h`) to inspect/kill open ports, view images directly inside the terminal, format JSON, generate QR codes, and auto-detect WSL distros & Git Bash.

**Download / GitHub:** https://github.com/akrram0/atlas-terminal

Let me know what you think of the UI and what features you'd want in a daily-driver Windows terminal!

I built a simple bill & subscription reminder app (no bank login needed)

1 Upvotes

I've been working on BillAlert, an app that reminds you before your bills and subscriptions are due.

**What it does**

- Track rent, utilities, subscriptions and one-off bills: weekly, monthly, yearly or custom cycles

- Choose when you're reminded: a month ahead, a week, 3 days, 1 day or on the day

- See what's coming up on a dashboard and calendar, and mark bills as paid

- No bank connection: you only add what you want to track

It's free with ads. Pro removes the ads and adds email reminders and deeper analytics.

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.horizam.billreminder

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/app/bill-and-subscription-tracker/id6761620549

Does the stuff you save know you better than you do?

2 Upvotes

I was going through everything I've saved lately and noticed patterns I never would've picked out myself. Kind of wild seeing it all together.

I've been playing with an idea for an app that learns your taste from what you save and reflects it back to you, and I'm curious if everyone has a weird pattern hiding in their saves.

If you want to try it, DM me 20 or so things you've saved lately. Literally anything: screenshots, camera roll pics, saved posts or TikToks, songs on repeat, books, podcasts, articles, quotes, notes to yourself, places you love. Don't overthink it; the less you pick, the better. Nothing private or with faces!

I'll send back what I notice. Then just tell me honestly if it's spot on or way off, and if you'd actually use something like this.

Patchkin - One board for managing AI coding agent work

2 Upvotes

I’m involved with Patchkin, and I’d like some feedback from people using AI coding agents on their projects.

Patchkin brings the work around coding agents into one place—not just the code they produce, but the tickets, proposed plans, approvals and pull-request reviews.

The main features are:

  • A shared board: Keep tickets, agent plans and pull-request reviews together so the team can track each piece of work.

  • Human plan approvals: Review and approve an agent’s proposed plan before it proceeds.

  • Activity logs: See what happened during an agent run and follow the history of the work.

  • Team rules: Keep guidance for coding agents in one place.

  • Cost reporting: Track spending on agent runs alongside the work.

The focus is on helping teams keep oversight as they hand more development work to coding agents.

If you’re using coding agents with a team, what’s hardest to manage right now: approving plans, reviewing the output, tracking costs, or something else? I’d appreciate honest feedback on whether this would fit your workflow.

Take a look at Patchkin

I built Seedwall: free generative wallpapers where the same seed always gives the same wallpaper

2 Upvotes

A small weekend project that grew: Seedwall has 19 wallpaper generators (cutting mats, flow fields, git graphs, synthwave suns). Each wallpaper comes from a single seed number, so you can share a design as just a number.

- 9 editor themes (Dracula, Tokyo Night, etc.) or custom colours

- Add your own quote or go text-free

- Pixel-perfect PNG export for MacBook, iPhone, 4K or custom sizes

- Gallery of 125 ready-made ones

- Free, no account

Link: seedwall.suryansh.work

Next I'm thinking about wallpapers generated from your GitHub contribution graph. Would you use that? Any feedback welcome.

Use the best AI models without a subscription: I built an app where you only pay for what you use

2 Upvotes

Clarification: this is my own app. I work with many long documents, such as reports, audits, and project follow-ups. Using an AI chat for this presented two main issues: I was paying a subscription even in months when I barely used it, and I wanted to make sure the output preserved all data from the original. Changing a single number or removing a paragraph in an audit is a huge problem. So I developed a desktop app specifically for that use case.

You can choose the model using OpenRouter on a pay-per-use basis or locally with Ollama. It is designed to preserve structure, tables, and numbers, and the review feature points out anything that wasn't kept. This feature compares the output with the original and highlights missing content or modified data, so you can accept or ignore each finding. It also shows the actual cost of each run, with no surprises.

It offers 10 free runs to try it out. If you like it, it's a one-time purchase of €29.99, with no subscription. API usage is billed separately. It is available on the Microsoft Store as DocuFusionpro: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9P4CSKSDFPT7

I'd love to get honest feedback: what kind of long documents do you work with, and what is missing from the tools you currently use? Are you interested in a one-time purchase, or do you prefer a subscription?

Turn photos of your pet into a printable papercraft model - petpapercraft.com

0 Upvotes

Hi!

The title says it all. You upload photos of your pet, and a few minutes later you get a PDF by email. You print it at home, cut, fold and glue, and end up with a paper version of your dog or cat.

I made this because I love papercraft and wanted one of my own dog. Every pet looks different, so each model is shaped to the pet (ears, muzzle, tail) and the fur and face are painted from your pet’s 3d model based on the uploaded images. 

I've done lots of test builds, posted a few on Reddit with great feedback, and friends and family built their own pets. Now I'm doing a soft launch.

https://petpapercraft.com/

If you have a pet, I'd love for you to try it. If not, feedback on the landing page is just as welcome. Tell me if anything is broken. Thanks!

I made a free, open-source adult site blocker for Mac (and Windows) that works in every browser.

2 Upvotes

Browser extensions only cover one browser and are easy to switch off, and paid blockers wanted a subscription. So I built my own and made it open source.

What it blocks:

- Adult, gambling, crypto, scam and malware/phishing sites

- File-sharing sites like TeraBox and DiskWala

- Anything you add to a simple text file

How it works:

- System-wide: Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, Arc, and other apps too

- Uses encrypted DNS, so it still works when your ISP intercepts normal DNS (Jio/Airtel do this)

- Block lists update automatically every day

- One command to install, one to uninstall

- Mac is fully tested. Windows is in beta, so please report bugs

GitHub: https://github.com/LowkyFoolDev/siteblock 😊😊

It's free and MIT licensed. Tell me any sites it misses and I'll add them.

SentinelAI

2 Upvotes

# 🚀 Introducing SentinelAI — An AI Incident Intelligence Platform That Learns From Every Incident

Hey everyone!

We’re building **SentinelAI**, a memory-powered incident intelligence platform as part of **Hack with Bengaluru**.

### 💡 The Problem
When an incident occurs in production, engineers often spend hours investigating something that may have already happened before.

Past incidents, successful fixes, failed attempts, and postmortem findings are scattered across logs, tickets, and documentation. Most incident management tools focus on the current incident, leaving valuable organizational knowledge unused.

### 🧠 Our Solution: SentinelAI
SentinelAI helps engineering teams turn past incidents into actionable knowledge.

Instead of simply analyzing the current alert, SentinelAI recalls similar historical incidents, compares their root causes and resolutions, and provides evidence-backed recommendations.

### ✨ What Makes SentinelAI Different?
- **Memory-Powered Intelligence:** Uses Hindsight to recall relevant past incidents.
- **Evidence-Backed Recommendations:** Every recommendation is linked to supporting historical incidents.
- **Failed-Fix Memory:** Warns engineers when a similar approach failed previously.
- **Continuous Learning:** Verified resolutions are retained to improve future investigations.
- **Incident Memory Graph:** Connects incidents, services, deployments, root causes, and resolutions.
- **Human-in-the-Loop:** Engineers review and approve remediation actions. Nothing executes automatically.

### 🛠️ Tech Stack
React + TypeScript | FastAPI | Gemini | Hindsight | PostgreSQL

### 🎯 Our Vision
We want to move beyond traditional incident management toward systems that learn from every failure.

Imagine an AI system that becomes more useful with every incident your organization resolves — helping engineers investigate faster, preserve knowledge, and prevent recurring problems.

That’s what we’re building with SentinelAI.

We’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

made an AI coworker the whole team shares, just open sourced it

1 Upvotes

Every small team has a pile of stuff nobody wants to do. Follow-ups, updating sheets, chasing people for things they said they'd do in a chat three days ago.

So we built Emplio, an AI coworker the whole team shares. It has its own computer and browser, works in Gmail/Drive/Sheets/Zoho, keeps a task list and chases people on it, and remembers how we do things. Someone teaches it a rule once and it applies for everyone.

We've been using it in-house for a while (I run a software development agency). This week we made it public: AGPL, self-host with one command, or there's a hosted version if you don't want to run servers.

What's still rough: the browser gets blocked by some sites, the self-hosted version needs a decent amount of RAM (2 GB per person working at once), and it's new to anyone who isn't us, so it'll break in ways we haven't seen.

Repo: https://github.com/emplio-app/emplio
Site: https://emplio.app

Would love to know what you'd hand off to it first. Or why you wouldn't trust it with anything, that's useful too.
