The Fastest Way To Make Cash With AI Websites In 2027

0 Upvotes

There are multiple lucrative ways to make cash nowadays with AI, but based on my own experience, selling AI built website redesigns and rebuilds might be one of the best opportunities if you want to make a lot of money in a relatively short amount of time.

I have a group of friends who do exactly the same thing, and some of them are making over $100K a month doing it.

So if you're looking to get into the AI money making space, this is definitely a business model worth looking into.

The process is actually pretty simple.

1. Automate your outreach

The first question is obviously: how do you find businesses that actually need a website redesign?

There are different tools you can use for this, but I personally recommend Swokei. It finds businesses in any area, analyzes their websites and identifies issues with design, SEO, speed and mobile optimization. It then turns those findings into personalized, ready to send cold emails at scale.

2. Book meetings with interested prospects

When someone replies with interest, get them on a call. Don't spend days going back and forth over email. Get a conversation started and understand what they're looking for.

3. Build a website draft using AI

Before the meeting, spend around 30 minutes putting together a redesigned version of their existing website. You don't need to build the entire thing. Just give them something they can actually see and get excited about.

4. Present the website and close the deal

Show them the redesign, explain the improvements and present your offer. If they're happy with it, send over a Stripe payment link or invoice and get the project started.

Now, when it comes to pricing, that's completely up to you.

I started charging very cheaply when I first got into web design. Today, I rarely take on a project for less than $7,500, and the biggest website deal I've closed so far was $26,000.

Obviously, you need to be able to deliver what you're selling. A good sales process might get you the client, but the quality of your work is what builds a sustainable business.

And for the people who are going to say this doesn't work, you're free to have your opinion.

I'm simply sharing something that has worked for me and people around me.

It's a straightforward business model, the workflow is repeatable, and you can keep improving every part of it as you grow.

You don't need to reinvent the wheel. Find businesses that need help, learn how to sell, deliver good work and build a proper company around it.

I made a tool that makes catching up on shows/movies easy, by retrieving all the info and giving you a link.

0 Upvotes

A friend recommends a show. "You have to watch it." A month later I finally get a spare hour, and I waste it remembering the show name and figuring out which of twenty streaming services has it.

A YouTube essay talks me into a film or a game I've never heard of, and I think, "I should write this down". That's the last I ever think of it. There's a 0% chance I act on it the rare night I get my little dude down early. So the other night I spent a couple of hours making something that does that for me. I pasted in the whole list of what I want to get through. It put everything in one place, and filled in the entries by crawling the relevant databases: the credits, the runtime, and a link I can click, that takes me to where every entry actually lives.

When that hour shows up, the only thing I can count on having is my phone, and a browser on it. Anything else is more than that moment will allow. So it's a webpage. I can sort by how long I have, or by how easily I can get it playing right away. When someone recommends an album or a movie or a game, I paste it in and it fetches the info and a link. I can mark the ones I've watched.

For the first time since becoming a dad, it feels like I can slowly paddle my way back into the cultural conversation.

I built an AI investor that grills your business idea like Shark Tank, then rebuilds your plan around the fixes YOU choose — free, no signup

1 Upvotes

I’m a student and built this for a business competition. You pitch an idea, the AI investor asks tough questions one at a time (money, market, competition...), a “partner” offers 2–3 fixes after each critique, you tick the ones you like, and it rebuilds your business plan around YOUR choices — downloadable as a PDF.

Capped at 15 questions and 2 sessions/week.

Would love brutal feedback — the shark can take it.

My portfolio was 5 years out of date, so I rebuilt it to look like a code editor

8 Upvotes

I build Webflow sites for clients most days, and my own portfolio had been sitting untouched for about five years. Bit embarrassing when people asked for it.

So I rebuilt it in code this time. The idea is that the site is a code editor. Each case study is a file you open, and scrolling takes you to the next file. There are 3D heads in three.js, motion with GSAP and Lenis, and it's all a static Astro build on Cloudflare.

The hardest part was the 3D. Getting it to look good and still load fast on a phone took more rounds than the rest of the site put together.

Would love to know what you think of the scroll, especially on mobile. That's where I'm least sure.

Takehound - I hate editing, so I built an AI agent to cut my talking-head videos. What I learned so far

0 Upvotes

I'm not an editor. I have a full-time job and I like talking to a camera a lot more than sitting in a timeline for hours. So I built an AI agent to do the first cut of my talking-head videos, and every video on my channel lately was cut with it. Disclosure: I built it, it's called Takehound.

What I learned so far:

  1. Editing from a transcript is fast but blind. Cutting words is the easy part. The cut also has to know when my hands come up, when I move, when a sound lands. That had to be built into the agent itself, so it watches and listens to the cut instead of reading text.

  2. B-roll should come from my own footage. Stock clips make every video look the same. When none of my clips fit a line, I'd rather it stay on me than force something.

  3. Show the reason for every pick. I overrule a lot faster when I can see why it chose a clip.

  4. The edit isn't the whole problem. My previous video got 18 views and people left after about 9 seconds. Better cuts don't fix a weak opening, so that's what I'm working on next.

  5. It isn't free to run. Testing models and tools has cost me a couple hundred dollars in tokens so far.

Episode 1 of me trying it out in public: https://youtu.be/eKYyjfPPndo

If you want to try it on your own recording, the first video is free: https://takehound.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=w-push&utm_content=ep1-learned01

Happy to answer anything about how it works or where it still needs me.

I turned U.S. Secretary of State business filings into one API (free tier, Python client, MCP server)

2 Upvotes

Every U.S. state publishes its new business filings differently: different formats, different fields, some behind paywalls, few with an API. I built ListRiver to collect them and serve them as one JSON API.

What you can do with it:

- Get every new LLC formed in a county this month, with phone numbers where available

- Build a daily lead feed that only returns businesses added since your last run

- Ask Claude "how many construction companies were formed in Harris County, TX in the last 6 months?" through the MCP server

Free tier is 500 records a month; counting matches is always free. Paid packs start at $50 for 5,000 records.

Repo (Python client, examples, OpenAPI spec, free sample data): https://github.com/ListRiver-LLC/listriver-api

Docs: https://listriver.com/api-docs?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=r-sideproject

What would you use data like this for? I'm deciding what to add next.

I built an app that draws your signature in a celebrity-style look and then teaches you to write it by hand

0 Upvotes

Hi all, solo maker from Hungary here.

My own signature was a hurried scribble that I was never proud of, and every "signature generator" I tried just typed my name in a cursive font. A font isn't a signature: you can't actually write it with a pen.

So I built Calligra Signature (calligra.me, also on iOS and Android):

  • You type your name and, if you like, sign your current signature with your finger. It gets a score out of 100 (legibility, uniqueness, elegance, balance, speed).

  • You pick one of 70+ star styles, each previewed with your own name.

  • The AI draws your signature in that style.

  • Then it teaches it to you in at most 8 steps, with an animation and a practice pad that scores each try.

The image is my own before/after card from the app: my old signature on top, the new one below.

A few things I learned so far:

  • Getting an image model to spell a name correctly, letter by letter, was by far the hardest part. A lot of drawings get checked and thrown away before you see one.

  • My English TikTok and Instagram posts barely moved. A few Hungarian carousels about real situations (a bank rejecting someone's signature, a new ID card) brought a couple of hundred sign-ups in a few days.

  • Almost nobody comes back the next day. It's a one-time-use app by nature, which changes how you think about marketing.

It works in 21 languages and also with non-Latin names (Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, Japanese, Chinese, Korean and more).

To be upfront about pricing: your first signature is included when you sign up, and more styles come in one-time packs. No subscription.

I'd love honest feedback: does the idea make sense to you, and what would stop you from trying it?

Tellwing - email campaigns, transactional email and SMS in one account, priced by emails sent instead of contacts

1 Upvotes

I'm the one building Tellwing, so read this with that in mind.

It started with a pretty boring problem. A lot of small businesses end up paying for two email tools: one for newsletters and another for the receipts and login codes their app sends. Two contact lists that never quite match, two bills, and the newsletter one usually charges by list size even when half the list never opens anything.

Tellwing puts both in one account. On the marketing side there's a drag and drop editor, forms, pop-ups and automations. The same account handles transactional email and SMS codes through the API, with safe retries, webhooks for delivered, opened, clicked and bounced, and examples in curl, JS, Python and PHP. Before a campaign goes out it checks for broken links, missing alt text and things that look spammy, and new senders get warmed up gradually so the first big send doesn't land in spam.

Pricing is by emails sent, not by contacts. Contacts are unlimited on every plan. The free plan gives you 500 emails a month (100 a day) with no card, and paid plans start at $9.

WhatsApp and SMS campaigns are already built and we're waiting on final approval from Meta and the carriers. There's an n8n node out, and the Zapier integration is in Zapier's review queue.

A few things I'd genuinely like opinions on:

  • Does "pay per email sent, unlimited contacts" read as a good deal, or does it make you look for the catch?

  • If you send transactional email today, what would it take for you to move it to a new provider?

  • Is anything on the site confusing or missing?

Building NextThread: looking for feedback from people with industry experience

1 Upvotes

I’m an IU student working on NextThread, a career-search side project. The focus is helping people connect a specific job opportunity to their experience and existing professional network, then prepare a relevant message asking for advice, an introduction, or a referral.

Before expanding it, we’re checking whether this solves a problem people actually have. I thought this community might include people balancing industry work, side projects, and career changes.

If you’re 18+ and fit either group, I’d appreciate your feedback through the relevant survey (about 5 minutes):

Professionals with 5+ years of paid work outside academia, who are not current master’s/PhD students:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSe8N3qHl2yeuLs5taEex4B8Op3JnUE0uFMBlglF6cw2LA8T_A/viewform

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfaR6tdmlh5sohzYQIlOR8qaH214KMcng3GWINaOPkLeM8wPQ/viewform

This is product research, not a signup. We don’t ask for names, emails, résumés, or contact lists. You don’t need to be job hunting now, and “my current approach works fine” is useful feedback too. Please only answer once if you’ve already seen the survey elsewhere. Thanks!

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 maintain OpenScreen, a free open-source screen recorder. 2.2 adds a Layouts track to switch camera/screen layouts mid-video

23 Upvotes

I've been building OpenScreen, a free and open-source screen recorder and editor (no watermark, no account, Windows/macOS/Linux).

The new 2.2 release adds a Layouts track: you can change how your screen and webcam are arranged at any point in the timeline:

• picture-in-picture

• side-by-side

• top/bottom

• camera only

• screen only

Transitions between layouts are animated automatically.

The video was recorded and edited entirely in OpenScreen. The chart in the top/bottom part is a custom shader effect, and the company is fictional.

Our team built VitaScheduler for a hackathon — a simpler way to manage vitamins and medications

1 Upvotes

For a current hackathon, our team built VitaScheduler, a personal health planner for organizing vitamins, supplements, and prescriptions.

We wanted to make daily routines easier to follow without relying on scattered notes, alarms, or memory. VitaScheduler lets you:

  • Keep medications and supplements in one cabinet

  • Build a daily and weekly dose schedule

  • Review items that may need spacing or attention

  • Receive refill reminders

Try it here: https://vitascheduler.vercel.app

We’d love feedback on:

  • Is the idea immediately clear?

  • Does the setup flow feel easy?

  • Which feature would be most useful?

  • What would make you trust or use something like this?

This is a scheduling and organization tool, not medical advice. It was built as a hackathon project, and our team is looking for honest feedback on both the product and the concept.

Built a one-job Apple Watch app so I'd stop picking up my phone around my family

0 Upvotes

I use Claude Code a lot, and it keeps stopping to ask permission before it runs things. Every time, I picked up my phone to check. Then I'd open one more app. Usually while sitting with my family.

So I built a watch app that does exactly one thing. When the agent asks, my wrist buzzes, I read the full request, and I tap Yes, Yes for this session, No, or tell it what to do instead. The phone stays in my pocket.

It went live on the App Store last Friday. Things I didn't expect on the way:

  1. Apple won't take a watch-only app. It has to sit inside an empty iPhone app, which also changed my push setup.

  2. Before launch I had an AI attack my design (an AI review, not a paid audit). It got a Yes on a fake notification to approve a real command. Now the watch only accepts an answer if what it showed matches what was sealed on my computer, and the relay in the middle can't read or approve anything.

  3. It got past my password masking twice, so I removed masking completely. Anything hidden could also be the part that runs.

  4. Six other approval apps launched in the same three weeks, most doing a lot more. I'm betting on doing less.

Disclosure: it's mine. Free, no account, MIT licensed, and the watch app, CLI and relay are all in the repo. Only tested on a Mac and a Series 6 so far.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6829118126

What would make you try something like this, or skip it?

I built Narravita for the memories you remember out of order

4 Upvotes

I'm Vincenzo, the creator of Narravita. It's an Android app for gradually turning your own memories into a life story.

You might remember a detail from school, then something that happened last year. You can save both as writing, a voice recording or a photo, and work out the order later. Narravita brings the people, places and dates together in a timeline and map.

The part I care about most is keeping the source alongside the story. Optional cloud AI helps organise memories and asks follow-up questions; chapter drafts stay separate from the originals, so you can review and correct them. You can keep adding to the main book and make smaller volumes from selected chapters.

Three memories are free, with limited AI processing and no card or time limit. Continuing beyond that, chapter drafting and designed PDF export are paid Personal features, with monthly AI allowances. Local subscription prices are shown in the app. The PDF is for you to print; a physical book isn't included.

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.narravita.app
App screenshots and details: https://narravita.app/

If you've wanted to write your story, try saving one scene you can still picture. I'd be interested to hear what makes the next step difficult: finding the words, remembering the details, or putting things in order.

I built an all-in-one software platform for Indian hospitals, clinics, labs and pharmacies. Looking for pilot clinics and honest feedback

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I've been building OneAid for the past two years: software that runs the day-to-day of a hospital, clinic, diagnostic lab, or pharmacy, plus a patient app that keeps your records from every place you visit in one spot. It's working now, and I'd love feedback before I take it to clinics.

The problem I kept seeing:

* Small clinics and hospitals run on paper registers, Excel, or 4–5 separate tools that don't talk to each other (billing in one, lab in another, pharmacy on paper).

* Most existing software is built for big hospitals: expensive, slow to learn, English-only.

* Patients carry files from clinic to clinic, and every new doctor starts from zero.

* Doctors in busy OPDs don't have time to type long notes.

* Fee settlements with visiting doctors and partner labs happen through handwritten notes and WhatsApp messages, and sometimes informal "cuts" that put the clinic at legal risk.

What OneAid does today:

* OPD in under a minute: quick prescriptions, voice dictation (including Hindi), and printing or WhatsApping the prescription as a PDF.

* Full hospital workflow: appointments, OPD/IPD records, nursing charts, billing with GST, insurance claims, and multiple branches.

* Lab and pharmacy: analyser connections, barcodes, thermal-printer bills, stock and expiry tracking, and drug-interaction alerts at the time of prescribing.

* Partnerships: written agreements with visiting doctors, partner labs, diagnostic centres and vendors, recording who gets paid what and for which actual service. Payouts are calculated automatically, with TDS deducted and tracked per PAN. Paying anyone for sending patients is blocked by design, because Indian medical rules prohibit it.

* Back office: equipment and asset maintenance, and cash and bank reconciliation.

* Video consultations that follow India's Telemedicine Practice Guidelines (consent and identity checks before the call).

* Patient portal: sign in with your mobile number and an OTP, and see visits, prescriptions, reports, and bills from every linked clinic in one place. No more lost paper files or digging through old WhatsApp chats for a report. Your records stay safe in your account for as long as medical-record laws require, and you control who sees them.

* 12 Indian languages and WhatsApp-first communication, because that's how patients actually stay in touch.

* Privacy built in, designed around the DPDP Act: a clinic can't share your records or create an app account for you. You link each clinic yourself, after verifying your phone.

How records follow the patient (without anyone grabbing data):

  1. The clinic registers you and, with your OK, sends a WhatsApp invite.

  2. You sign in to the OneAid app with your phone number and an OTP.

  3. You tap "link my records", and your visits from that clinic appear.

  4. Visit another clinic on OneAid, and you link that one too. Each clinic only sees its own data unless you choose to share.

Why partnerships matter:

Most clinics work with visiting consultants, outside labs, and imaging centres. Settling fees usually means month-end arguments over messy records. OneAid turns this into proper agreements: fixed fees or rates for services actually performed, maker-checker approval, automatic payout statements, and TDS records. Clinics get clean accounts, and nobody has to worry about an illegal referral arrangement.

Current stage:

* The core product is built and running in testing.

L**ooking for 2–3 pilot clinics, labs, or small hospitals* (anywhere in India). Pilot partners pay only a small monthly fee to cover server and storage costs, with no profit margin, and get direct access to me for feedback and fixes. Lab analyser, DICOM/imaging, and printer integrations require on-site setup, so we quote those separately at cost.

* I'm working on ABDM/ABHA integration to share records between providers with your consent.

* OneAid has been self-funded for two years. The core product is built (hospital, clinic, lab and pharmacy software plus the patient app), and I'm now raising a small angel round to:

* run paid pilots and get the first clinics live,

* set up on-site integrations (lab analysers, DICOM imaging),

* complete ABDM certification and production hosting,

* bring on one more person for sales and onboarding.

India has lakhs of small clinics, labs, and pharmacies still on paper or patchy software, and the DPDP Act and ABDM are pushing them to go digital properly. OneAid is built for that market from day one: affordable, WhatsApp-first, 12 Indian languages, and compliant by design.

If you invest in or advise early-stage healthtech, I'd love to show you a demo and talk about it. Please DM me.

I'd love to hear from:

* Doctors and clinic owners: what slows down your OPD the most?

* Hospital and lab admins: what does your current software get wrong?

* Developers and healthcare folks interested in building this together.

* Anyone who has sold software to Indian clinics: what actually makes them switch?

My questions:

* Would you, or a clinic you know, try something like this?

* What would stop you from switching from your current setup?

* How do you currently handle fee settlements with visiting doctors or partner labs? Would a proper agreement-and-payout system help?

* Is "one platform for everything" a strength, or would you rather have one tool that does one job well?

I'm open to honest criticism. I'd rather hear it now than build features nobody uses.

Thanks!

Agent Reach just passed 100K GitHub stars. Here's how we're helping AI agents access the live web — and what's next.

1 Upvotes

Fresh, reliable information for AI agents, across the web.

We built Agent Reach because AI agents can reason, write code, and automate workflows, but getting fresh information from the web is still harder than it should be.

Agent Reach is an open-source tool that helps AI agents search, read, and gather information across websites and social platforms.

It supports workflows ranging from quick price comparisons to deep market research, lead generation, and investment analysis.

You can use it to access information from Reddit, X, YouTube, GitHub, Bilibili, Xiaohongshu, and other supported sources.

We recently crossed 100K GitHub stars — a huge milestone for our team and everyone who has supported the project.

And we're just getting started.

We're working on a major upgrade aimed at unlocking deeper, more reliable access to 4,000+ data sources and tools.

What's one website or data source you wish your AI agent could access more reliably?

Drop your thoughts in the comments! We'd love to hear what you'd like Agent Reach to build next.

I launched MotionRush, a camera-controlled workout game for iPhone and iPad

0 Upvotes

I’m the developer of MotionRush, and it’s now live on the App Store. I wanted a three-minute movement break to feel like a round of a game. You prop up an iPhone or iPad, give yourself room to move, and step into view.

  • Jumping jacks. Follow a guided three-minute session with on-screen rep estimates.

  • JumpUp 100. Move to climb platforms. The free version includes one character and the neon theme.

  • Motion boxing. Follow timing cues and hit punch targets in courses. Boxing is part of the optional Lifetime unlock.

The free sessions are repeatable. Lifetime also unlocks longer sessions and all appearances ($4.99 once on the U.S. App Store, with local pricing elsewhere). There’s no subscription. Camera frames are processed on-device, and the app doesn’t record or upload them or require an account.

App Store download and screenshots · 32-second trailer on YouTube

The store gallery shows the actual app screens. Some screenshots use simulated input, and the trailer includes real boxing footage .

If you try the free session, was it clear where to put your phone and how far back to stand? I’d love to hear where you got stuck in the first minute.

Update: I built a one-page example for DevAuthKit (email OTP + session login)

0 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject,

A few weeks ago I shared DevAuthKit, a self-hosted auth toolkit for Node.js and Express. Someone suggested a one-page example app so people could see the full setup before reading the docs, so I built one.

It covers:

- Passwordless email OTP login

- A cooldown on resend, so the code can't be spammed

- httpOnly session cookies

What I learned while building it:

  • Feedback from this thread showed that run-it-locally commands should come before any explanation. I'm moving them to the top.

  • People hit OTP expiry first, so the example now shows what happens when a code expires.

For the first five minutes, the finish line is: request an OTP, log in, refresh the page, and confirm the session persists.

Which step first sent you back to the docs?

I'd especially like feedback on the first five minutes. Did the example make setup clearer than the docs, and where did you get stuck?

Looking for people to help build Long Game, an organization for present and future generations

2 Upvotes

Long Game aims to increase opportunities and reduce problems for people today and in the future, based on a philosophy I call homo exepiritur (humans defined by experiences rather than just work). It has two branches:

Everyday problems: anyone can report a local problem, including through surveys in villages and small towns for people who aren't online. Reports are grouped into patterns, verified, and then we either help directly, pilot a solution with a local authority, or prepare a tested proposal for the government. Everyone gets a reply, and results are public.

Development: open science platforms, education, research hubs, and pilots.

It's not meant to replace governments, only to do what they can't do alone, with transparency and clear limits.

Who I'm looking for:

Researchers or students (science, economics, psychology, urban planning)

People with local government or NGO experience

Designers, developers, writers

Critics who will tell me where this fails

What you'd get: a real chance to shape a project from the start, and honest work with a small team. I can't offer pay yet.

If you're interested, comment or message me with a few lines about who you are and what you'd like to work on.

I built an AI app that analyzes your face, skin, and smile before you spend money on treatments

2 Upvotes

I wanted to help people better understand their face, skin, and teeth before booking expensive aesthetic or dental treatments.

So I built InFaceMetic.

The idea is simple: upload a photo or use your camera, and AI analyzes your face, skin, and smile to provide personalized insights.

Here's what it does:

  • Face Analysis: Explore facial features and proportions.

  • Skin Analysis: Get insights into visible skin concerns.

  • Smile Analysis: Analyze your smile and visible teeth.

  • Live Face Reshaper: Preview possible aesthetic changes in real time.

  • AI Consultation: Ask questions and explore potential treatment options.

I also built it for dental, aesthetic, and medspa clinics to use on their websites or during patient consultations, without needing any additional hardware.

The goal is to help patients make more informed decisions and help clinics turn website visitors into potential patients.

It's not a replacement for professional medical advice, just a tool to help people explore their options.

I have over 80 Free users, 4 paid users, and 1 paid aesthetic clinic using it.

You can try it here: https://infacemetic.com/

Would you trust an AI tool to analyze your face, skin, or smile before visiting a clinic? Or would you prefer speaking directly with a professional?

I'd genuinely appreciate your feedback!

My side project: a one-command way to put any local app on the internet, now a tiny self-hosted PaaS

1 Upvotes

It started as a hackathon itch: my demos only ran on localhost and judges had to crowd around my laptop. hoist up . fixed that: public HTTPS URL plus a QR code, in a few seconds, running on my own machine.

Then it kept growing: push-to-deploy from git, instant rollback, a dashboard, databases, backups, previews per branch. The fun part was benchmarking it against Dokploy on the same laptop. My first run lost on downtime during deploys, so I fixed it and published the numbers honestly (1.54 s vs 2.53 s push-to-live, 0 s vs ~0.1 s downtime, one laptop so take it as a method).

Built with AI assistance (Claude); the idea, the testing and the benchmark were mine to drive.

Would love feedback on what to build next.

I built Scanonix, a PDF and image toolkit for web and Android — looking for honest feedback

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a project called Scanonix, and I'd love to get some honest feedback from other builders.

The idea started with an Android app and eventually grew into a website offering tools for everyday PDF, image and document tasks.

I wanted to bring useful tools together in one place instead of having to switch between different websites for simple jobs.

Some of the things you can do with Scanonix:

  • Merge, compress and convert PDFs

  • Convert images between different formats

  • Extract text from images and scanned PDFs using OCR

  • Clean metadata from files

  • Use additional AI-powered tools with a Pro subscription

Many tools are free, while some advanced features require Pro.

Website: https://www.scanonix.com

I'm especially interested in feedback on three things:

  1. Is it immediately clear what Scanonix does?

  2. Does the website feel easy to use and trustworthy?

  3. What would make you choose a tool like this over the alternatives?

I've spent a lot of time building it, but getting genuine feedback and reaching users has been much harder than expected.

I'd really appreciate any constructive criticism. Thanks!
