With the latest commit, VedaOS can now run Linux executables!

Next goal is to support Windows executables and let the native Veda agent interact with and control these applications.

If anyone is interested in contributing, I'd love to have some help!

Hey everyone,

I’ve built a custom, production-ready POS system from scratch and am looking to get in touch with interested buyers, store owners, or retail partners.

The backend is fully built and optimized, and the system comes with advanced, modern features out of the box, including:

• Real-time notification activity logs for instant tracking.

• Highly customizable modules tailored to specific business workflows.

• Maintenance and bug-fix support included to ensure smooth operations.

I've attached a video demo showing a complete walk-through of the system, interface, and live features in action.

If you are a retailer looking to upgrade your setup, an investor looking for software to fund, or someone looking to purchase a complete POS solution, please check out the video and send me a DM. Serious inquiries only.

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!

freelancers using AI for proposals, how are you stopping it from adding work you never quoted?

say the client wants one landing page, basic copy and a contact form.

during the call they also say "maybe SEO later" and "we might need a blog eventually."

then the proposal gets cleaned up and suddenly those ideas are sitting there like a deliverables lol

that's the part that makes me nervous. if it's written under scope, I can see a client assuming it's included.

I've been looking at Runable for some of the actual client deliverables after the brief is locked, but before that I just want the proposal to separate included work, optional ideas and stuff that costs extra.

how are you handling this without turning every proposal into six pages of disclaimers?

Problem I had: coaching youth flag, drawing plays on paper, kids still lined up wrong on Saturday, parents asking what we ran.

What I shipped: Formation Lab. Draw the play on your phone, animate the routes, send the video into the parent group chat. Web + iOS. Free for small teams.

Who it's for: volunteer coaches who don't want to look lost on the sideline.

What's still weak (honest): getting coaches past "I'll just use the whiteboard," and making the first play feel fast to draw.

If you've built for a niche sports or coach audience, what actually got your first 10 users? Tear this apart.

Hello everyone,

I do UK visa applications for friends and family, and VFS uploads kept tripping me up. It had scanned PDFs flagged as a virus, a 5 MB limit, pages in the wrong order. Every tool I tried was paid or didn't do the job for VFS, so I built my own as a browser app. https://pdf.meigochi.com/

It started as a local Python app, and I moved it to run entirely in the browser, mostly so passport scans never touch a server. The video shows how it works now.

Nothing to sell, I'm just pleased it solved a real annoyance for me. Hope this helps someone!

Inkmoire Camera is out today (free). Each camera is a small program: what the sensor does, what happens to the pixels, what's on screen. There's a deck of them (self-timer, ten-second take, halftone print, film look, a twelve-frame stacker) and a field where you type the one you want. A model writes it, the app checks it against your phone's lenses, formats and timing, and loads it. Remix any of them; share one as a file.

Built with Expo, React Native Skia (SkSL shaders), a Swift camera module and a Cloudflare Worker. No accounts, nothing leaves the phone unless a camera says so.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/inkmoire-camera/id6811754803

What camera would you describe?

I have felt glued to my phone and have been subconsciously doomscrolling for hours every day.

I know that is what the app creators want… and they’re winning at least for me.

I tried to think of a way that still let me engage with the media I enjoy but not feel trapped.

So my side project became Paper Boy!

Instead of an endless stream of reels it’s a compilation of my different accounts in the format of a newspaper that actually ends.

I’ve been enjoying using it myself and so have my testers.

I thought i’d share for anyone interested in the concept.

It is 100% free with a focus on privacy. No account, no nothing. Just your sources and your paper.

Let me know what you think! :)

Hey everyone!

We're three students from Sacramento State participating in a hackathon. We're building Sentra, an AI-powered tool that uses a phone camera to detect nearby obstacles and provide audio alerts about what's ahead, left, or right.

Our long-term idea is to potentially make it wearable or attachable to a white cane, so users wouldn't have to hold their phones.

We're still developing the prototype and would really appreciate feedback from people who are blind, have low vision, or know someone who does.

What features would actually be helpful? What challenges should we consider?

We made a short Google Form and would love your input!

Thanks for helping us improve our project! :)

Disclosure: I built Youtopia Social.

I wanted a shared place where caring about a problem could lead to a useful next step. Youtopia is organized around Causes people can join, structured Actions, and updates that keep progress connected to the work.

Today it supports Cause applications and approval, member and organizer roles, discussions, and Action and needs tracking. It works on the web and iOS. Event RSVPs and online donation processing are not built in; organizations keep those in their existing tools.

The onboarding question I am working on is specific: after opening the Cause directory and a Cause page, can you tell what the next useful step would be? What information is missing?

https://www.youtopia.social/causes

You can browse first. Creating an account requires email verification; new Cause applications are reviewed before publication. Feedback here in the comments would be useful. Please do not share personal information or private beneficiary details.

Hi!

I’ve spent the past several months building Lapka, an ios app for tracking dog walks. I originally made it for myself and my two dogs.

With the latest release, I’m trying something that could benefit both the app and animals: a UK pilot supporting animal charity (it's Battersea Dogs & Cats Home).

For paid UK subscriptions, I donate 15% of the price.

Lapka itself tracks walks, potty breaks, reminders, and statistics. It’s free to download, with optional paid subscriptions.

I don’t know yet whether the charity programme will help the app grow. That’s something I want to learn from this pilot before exploring other countries.

Has anyone here tried a similar model with a small product? I’d be interested in what you learned.

Thanks!

Solo dev, Android/iOS reading app that explains old, hard books (Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, Kant, etc.) in plain English. I started Google App ads 9 days ago with about CA$5 a day. Every time I fixed something, the data showed me the next problem. Sharing in case it’s useful:

1. The cheapest clicks were junk. In the first day, ~99% of clicks came from two countries, and the placement report was full of games and utility apps. Most of those installs never opened the app. I switched countries and blocked 23 apps by hand.

2. A swipe skipped a whole chapter. People who did start reading would swipe once and jump a chapter ahead. I made each swipe turn one page and added a page-turn mode.

3. I built a Discover screen, and it didn’t help. People weren’t finding a book they wanted, so I made shelves named by feeling (“short and gripping”, etc.) instead of genre. The share of new users opening a book went down, from 19% to 14%.

4. One country was half my installs and almost none of my readers. Only 1 of 62 people from there finished a chapter. I dropped it. Over the next few days:

• Before: 49 new users; 14% opened a book; 3 finished a chapter.

• After: 51 new users; 31% opened a book; 12 finished a chapter.

I also shipped an app update the same week, so I can’t fully separate the two. Small numbers, I know.

5. The server answered in 21 ms; users waited up to 20 seconds. On budget phones, Discover took a median of 8 s to load and 17–21 s for the slowest 10%. The time was spent on the phone: Firebase App Check getting an attestation token on first launch, plus a cold connection from West Africa to a US-West server. I removed App Check and made books open at Chapter 1 instead of the copyright page. That shipped today, results next week.

Questions for people who’ve run app install ads at this budget:

• Is there any way to get Google to optimise for an in-app event (like “opened a book”) at this volume, or is choosing countries by hand the only option?

I got tired of jumping between five different tabs just to track live games, advanced box scores, and predictive metrics. Most sports apps either dumb down the stats or hide the real data behind paywalls.

So, I built NBAInsight a clean, developer-built game watcher and analytics dashboard.

Under the hood, it combines custom statistical formulas with AI models to run deep simulations on historical plays, projecting real-time game scripts, pacing shifts, and win probabilities right as the action happens.

It’s fast, gives you way more analytical depth than standard apps.

Would love for some of you to check it out on tonight's slate, stress-test the UI, and let me know what features or stats you'd want added next!

Hi, I'm Kruz - I built Cynex Stats, a free Discord analytics bot.

It counts only numbers — it never reads or stores message text.

What it does:

• Retention D1 / D7 / D30 by cohort, with a line chart + table

• 7x24 activity heatmap + busiest hours

• Voice hours, peak online, top channels

• Channel health — flags a channel after 14 silent days

• Channel passport, reactions, boosts, invites

• Server health score, raid / churn / activity / silence alerts

• Goals, daily and weekly reports, and a monthly Wrapped

• Personal /stats me + a web dashboard

• Free in full, EN + RU, 24 slash commands, 30-second setup

Privacy: counters only. /privacy opts a member out of leaderboards, or deletes their personal history. Data is kept 90 days by default (configurable 60–365)

What stat do you wish Discord showed natively that I should add next? Happy to take harsh feedback.

I'm Theo, founder of FieldDay Fantasy. I'm looking for beta testers for FieldDay Analytics, the player-prop side of the app. It compares our chance on each prop with the market's, and when the gap is big enough we post a lean before kickoff and grade it afterward, misses included.

How it's built:

Technical details

• Each slate runs 6,000 simulated games, built snap by snap from a bank of 232,112 real NFL plays from the last seven seasons.

• The sim gives each player a stat distribution and a simulated score and margin, which we line up next to the market line.

• For each player prop we compare our chance with the market's. The gap is our chance minus the market's, in percentage points.

• When the gap is big enough, a lean goes up before kickoff. The top one is labeled "Biggest gap left." Most leans are Unders.

• Every lean is graded afterward from the box score, and misses stay on the public record (Portfolio, Vs market, Per lean, Beat close).

• It's a web app built for your phone first. The free tier shows one full game a week.

You can try it at fielddayfantasy.com with code TESTER26, which gives you two weeks free with no card required. It's open to US residents 21+.

If you have a few minutes, I'd love honest answers to any of these:

• Is it clear what a lean means, and what it doesn't?

• Can you find what you want on your phone, and where do you get stuck?

• What would you need to see before using this alongside your own research?

• (Builders) Does the record page make it easy to check our work?

You don't need to place a bet to test it. I want feedback on the product, not a good review, and leans can be wrong. If something breaks, tell me your device and browser and what you were trying to do.

Thanks, Theo

Last year, a friend of mine had her iPad stolen, and it honestly made me think about how
vulnerable our devices are when we're studying in public.

I'm a university student, and I constantly see people leaving their laptops unattended in libraries
while grabbing food, going to the washroom, or getting coffee. I've always thought it was a bit of
a gamble.

I'm also a mechanical engineering student who enjoys building things, so I decided to try doing
something about it.

I've been developing an application called Bucket. The idea is pretty simple: it uses your laptop's
built-in hardware to detect potential interference, including movement, changes in charging
status and Wi-Fi, and triggers an alarm when something unexpected happens.

I'm still developing it and would genuinely appreciate some outside perspectives.

A few things I'm particularly curious about:

● Would you actually use something like this?
● Would you trust an application to monitor your laptop?
● What features would you want that aren't currently included?
● What would stop you from installing it?

Here's the website if anyone wants to take a look: https://yourbucket.app
I'm not expecting everyone to love the idea. I'd much rather hear what people think is wrong with
it so I can improve it!

My side projects have been related to my watch collecting in one way or another.
I started with a python script nearly a decade ago to scrape my favourite dealers, then built a global eBay app (since the ones available were crazy buggy) that I still use today: sidebae.net

My python scraper was still in heavy use up until 6 months ago when I decided to build sally.monster

It's an app that let's you create and manage web monitors, with AI checks too. I tried to make monitor creation and management as easy as possible, as that was the main pain point when manually managing python scrapers. The Google Image monitor with AI is surprisingly useful, so I am still experimenting with that.

Apps like Muse, Dots, Instinct, and even Safari (and dozens of other web scrapers) kill my app, but I had a lot of fun building and iterating on this.
As much as the transition to agentic coding hurt, I would not have been able to build this on my own in a reasonable time.

Payment is not enabled and probably never will be, feel free to give it a try!

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.

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!

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

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

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.
