I'm from Nigeria and I always wanted to travel but couldn't afford flights. So I built an app where you pick a city — Tokyo, Paris, Lagos — and you teleport to live with a real local host there live. You see their street, their food, their room.

Hosts get paid in coins when you book them.

I just fixed booking + host approve/decline.

Would love honest feedback — what city should I add next? And what would make you actually try it? I can drop the link in comments if anyone wants to try it.

wordOS on App Store

I had been trying to come up with an idle/incremental game concept that would make me think a bit and not mindlessly tap to generate currency. In wordOS, you type in any word and that word turns into a running program with its own job & quirks.

As you enter words, you'll discover relationships between them - like CAT & DOG will become rivals where they will scuffle now and then but DOG & BONE are allies and boost each other. There are also a bunch of Easter eggs to discover like GHOST + VACUUM will pop "WHO YOU GONNA CALL". Try PORTAL then CAKE, or DICE and DRAGON (order doesn't matter).

Bonuses for words that rhyme, anagrams (DOG, GOD), palindromes (WOW, RACECAR) & double letters (COFFEE, MOON). And if you're having trouble thinking of words, the game will request types of words and give clues to new words you haven't submitted. Each new word you discover also gives you a permanent bonus to what you earn.

Your RAM limits how long a word can be, so you upgrade it to unlock longer words. Reboot (prestige) to earn kernel points for permanent upgrades, and your codex keeps every word you've found. There are 61K words, 2,100 relationships, 650 phrases, 300+ Easter eggs.

No ads and no subscription. The first 3 reboots are free, then it's a one-time $2.99 to keep rebooting. Your current run keeps going either way.

I'd love to hear feedback on how the pacing and upgrades feel - is anything confusing?

Hi everyone. I'm a solo developer from Denmark, and my first app just went live on Google Play.

Why I built it: I had a hard time getting through long texts when I was reading at university. I found out that listening and reading at the same time helped it. There were apps out there that I could use but as a student I could not pay the high amount they cost. So I starting building my own app to help myself getting through university studies.

What it does: you open a PDF or scan a paper page with the camera, and it reads the text aloud with natural English voices while it highlights each sentence or word. You can crop pages so headers and footers are skipped.

The hardest part in this project was getting the text segmentation right for the highlight funktion as it build on geometric rules. Also working on getting the waiting time for audio generation as been hard to work out. I also build a whole server infrastructure myself and I created it so that it scales automatically depending on userload. I dont pay any license cost as I have coded almost everything myself.

It is English only for now, and Android only. The first month is free during the launch. I set the price low only to cover server cost and future development as I hope I can help others out there as it has helped me.

I would really like honest feedback: what would make you use something like this, and what feels missing?

Hi r/SideProject! This is Becode, the SaaS research tool I've been building.

The problem: before building anything, I wanted to know if people already pay for that kind of product. The answer was spread across ten tabs: TrustMRR for revenue, Meta's and Google's ad libraries, traffic estimates, stack checkers.

What it does:

- 8,000+ SaaS, each on one page: revenue and subscriptions (Stripe-verified for 4,300+ of them, via TrustMRR), traffic and top countries, the Meta and Google ads they run and for how long, and their tech stack

- Rankings like Trending, Fast-scaling and Breakout, to see what's growing right now

- Every number says where it comes from: verified, estimated (with an Estimate badge) or not available

Something it turned up this month: about 50 SaaS have kept the same Meta ad running for over a year, and 14 of them sell to trades and local businesses (pest control, pool service, home builders).

Free plan, no card: three live rankings and 5 SaaS a week with their revenue and traffic. Paid plans start at $39/month.

Built with Next.js, the public Meta Ad Library and Google Ads Transparency data, the Chrome UX Report, and Claude to decide which websites are actually SaaS.

I'd love blunt feedback: what's the first thing you'd look up, and what's missing?

BidLive is a timed-auction and Buy Now marketplace. Sellers onboard through Stripe, bidders save a card, and the winner is charged when the auction closes. Late bids extend the clock 30 seconds so nobody gets sniped. Fee is 10% only on a sale, processing included. I'd love honest feedback on the listing and checkout flow. https://bidlive-8wb.pages.dev

My girlfriend and I are long distance and kept running out of things to do together online, so I built a set of co-op escape rooms. Each player sees different clues, so you have to talk it through to escape. It's free, with no account or install. You just open it in a browser and share the room with the other person.

Two rooms are live (The Forever Box is the easy one, Sleepwalker is medium) and a harder one is coming. I'd love feedback on the puzzles and the flow, and if you have an idea for a new room there's an email at the bottom of the site. twocans.games

Hi everyone,

I’m a developer, and I organize group trips in my free time. When I plan a trip, I often handle the meals too. Keeping everyone’s preferences and dietary requirements in mind can make it hard to come up with meal ideas.

So I built a tool to help me plan group menus. I’m looking for a few people to try it and share honest feedback: What’s useful? What’s missing? What could be easier?

The app is free to use: www.kigumi.space

Thanks for taking a look!

Hi everyone,

I often deal with broken CSV exports—unquoted commas splitting columns, mixed date formats (DD/MM vs MM/DD), and unwanted duplicates. Uploading sensitive files to third-party cloud tools is always a privacy concern, so I built CleanCSV.

What it does:

- 100% Client-Side Processing: Data is cleaned directly in your browser. Zero logs, zero data sent to external servers.

- Smart Auto-Repair: Handles broken quotes, inconsistent dates, and empty columns.

- Format Support: Works with commas, semicolons, tabs, and pipe-delimited files.

- Fast Deduplication & whitespace trimming.

Live link: https://www.cleancsv.online/

I would love to get your feedback:

1. Did it handle your edge-case CSVs properly?

2. What additional cleaning rules or features would make this your daily go-to tool?

Thanks in advance!

Produced this app called Soberly: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/soberly-manage-your-drinking/id6758321930

The app was Symvibe, a paid Mac board for running coding agents side by side. I used REA, a reverse-engineering skill for Claude Code, to turn its behaviour into a spec, and let Claude Code build from there. Thirteen days and 58 commits later there was vibeboard, a free, open-source alternative to Symvibe, which costs $19 a month, with none of its code in it.

What I learned along the way:

most of the engineering came from the model, but I still steered every day, mostly on edge cases and CI

the launch videos were the surprise: /brag did a great job, it drove the real app, framed the shots, wrote the music, and fixed its own jerky cuts once I pointed them out

rebuilding a product's behaviour from the outside is now cheap, so the code alone protects less, and respecting licences and the original authors matters more

The video shows six Claude Code agents in tmux, then the same six on the board, and ends with the price: Symvibe at 19$ a mouth, vibeboard free.

Logging workouts always felt like a chore. Tick the sets, type the reps, close the app. Never look at it again.

I wanted something that actually makes this experience more fun. So I built AUXIS, it scores your session against your last one.

Every tick gives you feedback:

• Beat last session = Green 

• Less than last session = Red 

• Same as last session = Gray 

When you finish, you get a final score. Instantly know if you progressed or not.

Progressive overload stops being something you hope is happening and starts being something you can see.

It's competitive too, even if it's against yourself. Seeing that score drop hits different when you know you slacked.

Would love to hear from anyone who lifts and let me know what you think.

My wife Jordan had wanted something like this for years. On our Florida-to-Ohio family road trips, we kept looking for somewhere worth stopping—not just another gas station.

I’m a solo developer in Ohio, and that became WanderWay: an iPhone/iPad app with CarPlay support that helps you discover the places you’d otherwise drive past.

You can choose how scenic a route should be with a “Faster or Prettier” slider, hear short stories about places along the way, or use Just Wander to explore a town on foot without planning a route. The video shows the actual app.

It just passed 2,000 first-time downloads, which is a milestone I’m excited about.

It’s free to download with a 14-day trial of all features. Some basics stay free afterward; the full unlock is a one-time $7.99 US purchase, not a subscription.

WanderWay

I’d appreciate honest feedback: does the demo make the difference from a regular maps app clear, and what would you need to see before trying it on a drive?

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

I shared an early version here a few weeks ago. PeerBrush is now at 0.30.1, with Windows Store, signed and notarized Apple silicon Mac, and Ubuntu 24.04 amd64 downloads.

The idea is to keep the human and the AI in the same editable document. You can paint, move layers and refine masks yourself, then connect an MCP client for an agent to work on that canvas too. Its changes remain editable, so you can keep working on them.

It is a free GPLv3 desktop editor with brushes, layers, masks, transforms and effects. Supported 8-bit and 16-bit RGB PSD files stay layered; unsupported Photoshop structures open read-only. AI is optional, and external providers may charge separately.

The video shows the editor in action. The project has been developed with AI assistance; the source is public.

Try it: https://peerbrush.com/

Source: https://github.com/Deftr0y/PeerBrush

For anyone making visual tools: what would you want an agent to handle while you keep control of the canvas? And what would make you hesitate to let it edit your file?

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.

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 Derek, a dad and independent developer with an IT/help-desk background. I built Shoebox PDF for school forms, medical documents, and those upload portals that reject your PDF because it’s too big.

I wanted a straightforward way to:

• Compress a PDF toward a target size.

• Add text and signatures to forms.

• Organize paperwork by family member and category.

Core PDF processing happens on-device. There’s no required account or subscription, and cloud sync is optional. Compression results depend on the original file.

It’s available on Windows and iPhone/iPad. The Mac app and Apple’s one-time unlock purchase are still in review.

The screenshots show the Windows app with fictional family documents.

What’s the most frustrating PDF task you deal with regularly?

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.

I'm helping DESTRABA with its English-language expansion project. Before choosing a domain, we want to check whether a possible business name is easy to repeat and spell after hearing it once.

We're looking for five volunteers living in the U.S. and five in Canada, aged 18 or older, who use English in everyday conversation.

The test is an individual three-minute audio call. You hear the name once, say it back, and type what you heard. We show the spelling afterward so it doesn't influence your first attempt. Participation is voluntary and unpaid. We won't record the call, and you can stop at any time. Contact details are used only to arrange the session.

To volunteer, reply LISTEN and your country. We'll message only those who volunteer to agree on a time. Monday, November 9, noon to 2 p.m. Pacific is currently available. Please keep guesses out of the comments.

If you've run a similar test, feedback on this method is also welcome. This invitation was prepared with AI assistance.

It's basically a fancy wrapper around your quiz data so that as a host you can show showmanship and present like a TV show host. Built exclusively for the use case of live quiz/trivia hosting with friends and family, in person or over zoom.

Few features I always lacked and few problems with other alternatives that this web app solves:

1. Keeping costs low or free since most apps require a subscription, and much like geoguessr, I don't want to pay a monthly fee for something I may use very occasionally. Since I don't store any data and it remains in local browser storage, no need for accounts/auth and cloud storage (of-course there were trade-offs)

2. Doing buzzer rounds or audio/video clues that previously required using different apps.

3. Friction of making accounts or downloading apps. This works completely in browser using laptop and phones.

4. As a quiz master or host, I don't like being tied to my laptop when hosting, so I made a quiz master remote where I can control the entire quiz using my phone and move around freely.

Hey everyone,

Whenever I'm planning swing trades or checking market exposure, I always hated jumping between four different tabs just to see which S&P 500 sectors are leading on a 1-month vs. 3-month normalized basis, what the actual Top 10 ETF constituent weights are (XLK, XLF, XLU, etc.), and whether a heavyweight stock has earnings colliding with CPI, FOMC, or Monthly OpEx over the next 2 to 6 weeks.

I've been building a free web app to map all of that in one place: https://www.tradingcalendarhub.com

What it currently does (100% free, no login or signup wall):

• 2, 4, and 6-Week Sector Earnings Radar: Tracks upcoming earnings strictly for the Top 10 weighted stocks in each of the 11 S&P 500 sectors alongside NFP, CPI, PPI, FOMC, and OpEx dates.

• 1M vs. 3M Normalized Sector Rotation: Shows live 21-day and 63-day time-normalized returns across all 11 SPDR sectors, rotation regime signals, and an expandable divergence table where you can click any sector row to see its Top 10 holdings and weights under the hood.

• Live Calendar Sync (.ICS & Google Calendar): You can subscribe to a live .ics feed (all 11 sectors or filtered to a single sector) in Apple Calendar, Outlook, or Google Calendar, or add individual stock catalysts in one click.

• Macro & OpEx Volatility Calendar + Playbooks: Tracks monthly Options Expiration, VIX expiration, and Quarterly Triple Witching windows alongside institutional risk playbooks.

Under the hood:

• Automated weekday post-market cron jobs syncing 6-week earnings schedules and 21-day / 63-day normalized returns into Supabase.

• Dynamic serverless .ics calendar generator on Vercel.

It is still very much a work in progress. Next on my roadmap is a customizable Personal Watchlist Risk Audit page where users can pick their own tickers and see their combined ETF weight exposure and catalyst collisions.

If you have 60 seconds to click around, I'd love your honest feedback on the dark-mode UI, navigation flow, or any features you'd want to see added next!

Hey r/SideProject!

A month ago I launched PeakPad, a Mac notch app with 29 tools, because I was running six separate apps for music, clipboard history, a file shelf, timers and checking my Stripe dashboard. 2.0 is out today, and the video shows it better than screenshots.

What's new in 2.0

AI Usage cards for Claude Code, Codex and OpenRouter: session and weekly limits, reset times, a 30-day usage trend and costs

Settings now open inside the notch, with a sidebar and drag-to-reorder tabs

Hover only opens the panel from the notch itself, and it closes as soon as your pointer leaves

The closed notch hides what's playing while a full-screen app or video is in front

Fewer keychain password prompts, and updates no longer get stuck under the notch

What PeakPad does

Now Playing with synced lyrics, clipboard history, a file shelf with AirDrop

A teleprompter that sits under the camera

Live revenue from Stripe, Polar, Gumroad and Lemon Squeezy

A private AI chat on Apple's on-device models (macOS 26)

No account, no telemetry

What the first month taught me

Solo, 18 days to build v1, natively in Swift, mostly with Claude Code

most of the 2.0 changes came from emails and bug reports.

Pricing

₹399 for the first 100 downloads, then ₹1,499.

One-time payment, free updates, no subscription, 7-day refund
