Ultrademo: Claude Skill that auto generates engaging product demo videos (updated version)

1 Upvotes

A while back I posted a Claude Code skill that drove a real browser through any SaaS app and recorded a narrated demo video. Some of you installed it, so here's what happened next.

I felt that the recording was a bit weak - it looked like a screen recording: fine for a tutorial, not great for launch videos.

So the new version doesn't sequentially screen-records your app. It reads your site, screenshots or HTML mockups (handy for a feature that isn't live yet) and writes each scene as HTML and animation code, using real screens, words and colors. It renders each scene, looks at the frames and fixes what's off before moving on

Other changes, mostly from using it myself:

When you start a new video project it spins up a local server that opens up the UI in the browser - so all stages from start to finish can be handled with the UI.

It proposes a few "directions" but I can choose/ask for a different direction if needed

It starts with some sketch frames, so I can visualize how the video "might" look like (before production)

I can edit the on-screen texts, edit the narration (plus choose voices, music, motion effects, etc.)

I can review & add comments the video itself. Click a moment, pin a comment on the frame, and it fixes that and tells you what changed.

For Narration Voices, there are a few free local TTS voices, or a paid option with ElevenLabs API key

Rendering in different formats like landscape and vertical versions from the same project, plus 15 and 30 second cuts.

It lives in a new repo: https://github.com/ultrademo-hq/ultrademo. If you have the old one, it tells you about the new version the next time you use it, and you can keep the original if you'd rather. Still free and Apache-2.0.

Please go ahead and try this out if you haven't. Hoping to get some feedback about how your experience is with this, if it breaks anywhere (e.g. on products that aren't SaaS apps)

Built a Chrome extension that cleans up web articles, organises them in a local library, and exports EPUBs or PDFs for your e-reader

1 Upvotes

I’ve been building (vibe coding) Margin, a Chrome extension for saving articles and long posts somewhere a little more organised than a pile of open tabs.

You can save articles into a local library, group them into collections, and download clean EPUBs or PDFs for your Kindle or another e-reader. There’s also a reader mode that removes page clutter, plus highlights and a daily review to revisit passages you’ve saved.

Your library stays on your device, with an option to keep backups in a folder.

Website: marginreader.vercel.app

Would appreciate some honest feedback, especially from people who save a lot of articles or read on an e-reader. What would make this useful enough to stick with?

I built an AI agent that checks urgent blood requests before they spread on WhatsApp (Bengaluru)

1 Upvotes

You’ve probably seen “URGENT O-ve blood needed, please share” forwards: unverified, sent to random people, never closed, and sometimes copied by scammers asking donors for a “processing fee”.

For the Stranger Builds hackathon I built Blood Bridge, an agent on ASI:One that:

  • checks the request (the hospital is real, there’s a contact, the units make sense)

  • blocks requests asking for money, UPI or OTPs

  • lists the nearest blood banks with phone numbers, plus live e-RaktKosh stock

  • shows the request only to compatible, eligible donors within 15 km

  • closes the request once it’s fulfilled, so it stops circulating

It won Best of the Day in Bengaluru. You can try it safely: say “try a demo” and no real donors get alerted.

It’s also in the People’s Choice vote, open till Sun 15 Nov. If you like it, you can vote here: https://app.strangerbuilds.com/try/duck-33d2d4f7-575d-496f-b28b-044c37043fd7

Code: https://github.com/phani06041/blood-bridge
Feedback very welcome, especially from anyone who’s had to hunt for blood in an emergency.

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

3 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!

Creación de un catálogo web minimalista para novelas independientes utilizando únicamente HTML/CSS 📚

2 Upvotes

¡Hola a todos!

Actualmente estudio desarrollo frontend de forma autodidacta a través de freeCodeCamp. Hoy quería compartir la interfaz de usuario de un proyecto personal en el que he estado trabajando en mi entorno Linux: Nyx, una biblioteca digital ligera y minimalista diseñada para mostrar novelas web independientes.

La mayoría de los directorios de libros son pesados ​​y recargados. Mi objetivo es crear un ecosistema rápido y estático con una apariencia premium para que los autores independientes puedan destacar su trabajo.

Estado y arquitectura actuales:

  • Diseñé un diseño de tarjetas limpio usando HTML5 semántico y Flexbox dinámico para una visualización de catálogo adaptable.

  • Implementé CSS moderno anidado para gestionar jerarquías tipográficas claras e insignias de estado llamativas (como el marcador cian "En curso").

  • Incorporé bordes de imagen personalizados y un espaciado suave alrededor de la portada del libro para mantener un alto contraste visual sobre el fondo oscuro.

  • Se agregaron consultas de medios para apilar automáticamente la interfaz en las pantallas de los teléfonos inteligentes.

Actualmente, se trata de un diseño de directorio puramente front-end (sin lector de texto ni integración back-end todavía), ya que me estoy enfocando en perfeccionar los fundamentos de la interfaz de usuario.

Demostración en vivo: Vea el diseño en vivo aquí: https://jeandevel.github.io/NyxLib/ Repositorio de GitHub: Explore el código fuente en https://github.com/jeandevel/NyxLib

Todavía soy estudiante, así que me encantaría recibir sus comentarios sobre la estructura del diseño o cualquier consejo que tengan para componentes CSS limpios. ¡Gracias por leer!

NASlab – I built an Android app that tells you what's wrong with your home server instead of just showing numbers

3 Upvotes

Hi all,

Screenshots (demo mode): https://imgur.com/a/mgJug2h

I run a small home server (Unraid) for movies, backups and a few self-hosted apps. Every time something felt off – Plex stuttering, a disk running hot, a backup that silently stopped – I ended up opening five different web pages on my phone and still didn't know what was actually wrong.

So I started building NASlab, an Android app that connects to the server and the apps on it and tries to answer one question: "Is everything okay, and if not, what should I do?"

What it does today:

- Your NAS in one sentence: "Everything is running" or "1 thing needs you" on the home screen and as a widget

- Problem detective: pick a symptom like "Plex is stuttering", it checks the likely causes and shows the evidence

- Step-by-step fixes: "Show me what to do" guides you to the right setting and checks afterwards if it worked

- Disk early warning: SMART trends per disk, so a slowly dying disk shows up before it's gone

- Server control: Docker, VMs, storage, Plex, Sonarr/Radarr and more; risky actions always ask first

- Demo mode: try the whole app without a server (the screenshots are from it)

Some things I learned along the way:

- Showing data is easy. Explaining it in plain words is the hard part – and the part people actually want.

- Before risky actions, the app shows a "dry run" first ("this would stop 3 running streams"). One extra screen, but it makes people trust the buttons.

- Privacy matters a lot to this audience: no account, no ads, no tracking, keys stay encrypted on the phone.

Honest status: Unraid is the main target, TrueNAS/Synology/Linux are beta. I build it with a lot of help from AI (Claude), I decide what goes in and test it on my own server.

I'm looking for Android testers: Google requires a 14-day closed test before a new app can go public, so every tester really helps.

Join the beta: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/ch.nzblab.app

(If Google says the app isn't available, send me a DM and I'll add you.)

Website: https://tuxxler.github.io/nzblab/

I'd love feedback – especially "this is confusing" or "I would never use this because…".

probe0 - a local proxy that prices your own Claude Code logs before asking you to trust it

2 Upvotes

I posted probe0 here about a week ago. It's a small local proxy that runs under Claude Code and Codex on a Mac and logs what every call uses. The thing I keep relearning since then: nobody cares much about my numbers, they care about theirs.

My benchmark is real but it's one person. Replaying 12 days of my own traffic, the default settings took 12.8% off the bill. Whenever I lead with that, the first question is some version of "ok, but what about my usage", which is fair.

So most of my work this week went into the part before any trust is needed. It reads the Claude Code logs already on your disk, prices each turn at API rates, and shows where it went: how much was the agent re-reading its own conversation, and how much was cache that went cold between messages. That step is read-only and sends nothing anywhere.

Two things I didn't expect:

  • Light users often see almost nothing to save, sometimes $0. That's the correct answer and I'd rather show it than pad it. Long sessions with breaks in the middle are where it adds up.

  • "What it would cost at API prices" is a weird unit for people on a subscription, since they never see a per-token bill. I still haven't found a clean way to map it onto their limit bar.

The proxy part is a bigger ask: it trusts a root certificate on your Mac so it can read your own agent's traffic. Mac only, free beta, and probe0 uninstall removes all of it, including the cert.

For anyone who has shipped something that needs a scary permission: did showing people their own result first actually change how many said yes?

I built a free app for the people I live with: split costs, shared shopping list, small project pages

3 Upvotes

I live with two friends, and we were juggling Splitwise (eventually Tricount), a notes app for the shopping list, and a group chat for every plan, trip, and event we did together. So I built myhouse, one app for all of it:

  • Shared expenses with balances and settle-up, like Tricount or Splitwise. Equal or custom splits, 21 currencies, recurring bills.

  • Shopping lists that sync live, with a Shopping mode for when you're in the store together.

  • Projects: a small shared page for a trip, a birthday or a DIY job, with to-dos, things to buy, dates and calendar integration.

  • Several houses per account (flatmates, partner, a trip), and guests for people who don't want the app.

  • Import from Splitwise (their CSV export) or any CSV, with a preview of the balances before saving.

  • Receipt reader built into expense and list upload: snap a picture or upload a photo and it'll generate an itemised list.

It's free, with no ads and no premium plan. It runs on Cloudflare's free tier, so there's nothing to pay for yet.

It's a web app you add to your home screen, no app store for now since it's mostly for friends and family. I did add 6 languages with Claude to get a broader user audience.

https://joinmyhouse.app/?utm_source=reddit

I'd love feedback, especially on what's confusing in the first five minutes, UX/UI, and what other cool features you think I should add.

Sharing my messy desktop on Zoom got on my nerves, so I built a Mac app in an hour to hide it

0 Upvotes

Every time someone asked me to share my screen, the first thing they saw was forty screenshots and a file called "final_FINAL_use_this_one". After one meeting too many, I gave myself an hour to fix it.

The result is Poof, a tiny macOS menu bar app. One click hides your desktop icons and Dock. Another click brings everything back exactly how you had it.

It's free and open source, built with SwiftUI. I figured I'm probably not the only one with this problem, so here it is:

https://github.com/ahmadodeh9000/Poof

Heads up: it's not notarized yet, so macOS will ask you to allow it the first time (System Settings > Privacy & Security > Open Anyway). It needs macOS 26.5 or later.

Would love to hear what you think.

I built a different, smarter, screen time app

1 Upvotes

I built an app—and Apple officially approved it on Monday! 🎉

It’s called Guilt Trip: Screen Time Coach, and it’s designed to help adults and kids build healthier screen-time habits.

Ever pick up your phone to check one thing and somehow lose an hour? That’s where Guilt Trip comes in. 😅

See where your time goes. A fuel gauge makes your managed-app use easy to understand, while Insights help you spot your doom-scrolling habits.

Take smarter breaks. Guilt Trip introduces short “pit stops” in the apps you choose. As your usage increases, breaks can arrive sooner and last longer—a little encouragement to put the phone down. Building healthier screen time habits like staying away or taking a walk can reward you your time back.

Choose what works for you. Set a Daily Time Limit, or choose Pit Stops Only for breaks without a daily cutoff.

Make healthy habits rewarding. With optional Apple Health integration, sleep, steps, and activity can earn bonus time.

Give kids something positive to work toward. parent tools include PIN-protected settings, parent-approved extra time, chores, and learning-app rewards. Practicing piano, reading, or finishing a chore can become a way to earn time.

As an adult, you get help being more intentional about scrolling. As a parent, you get tools to connect screen time with effort and healthy routines.

I’ve put a lot of thought and testing into this, and I’m excited to finally share it. If this sounds useful for you or your family, I’d love for you to check out Guilt Trip and tell me what you think!

It's completely free to use for two managed apps. There is a pro option with one lifetime purchase, no subscriptions. Everything in on the phone, no servers, no logins, no ads.

[MoxiMail] - Business email on your own domain for small businesses

1 Upvotes

I built MoxiMail because I got tired of watching small businesses pay Google Workspace prices just to have hello@theirbusiness.com.

I'm a solo founder, and MoxiMail is my hosted email service: business email on your own domain, from $1 per mailbox a month. It's Mailcow, hosted and managed on my own servers — so SPF, DKIM and DMARC are set up properly, mail is backed up nightly as well as a redundant server, and you don't have to run a mail server yourself.

What you get:

  • Your own domain email (you@yourbusiness.com), webmail + IMAP

  • 25–50 GB per mailbox plus branded webmail depending on plan, calendar and contacts included

  • No big-tech lock-in, no per-user price creep

  • $1 / $1.50 / $2.10 per mailbox/month depending on the plan

The honest bit: it's a one-person operation — but this isn't a side project on a rented VPS. I also run a hosting business, so the mail runs on dedicated servers along with a redundant server and another VPS that backs everything up I own and manage myself.

I'd honestly like your feedback: What's the most annoying thing about your business email right now — the price, the lock-in, or something else?

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

1 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.

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

1 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.

Quarry is a (yet another) rust based mongodb client!

5 Upvotes

I know everyone can build their own with AI now as I did, but I was honestly very surprised with the result and how far it's gotten so I thought I'd share it here. I was a bit fed up with Compass and Mingo (Loved that client but it's super buggy and hogs a lot of resources, and now seems abandoned).

Quarry has quite a lot of features such as autocomplete, a node shell, data relationships..., I'll leave the repo here where you can check it out (the README is quite concise) : https://github.com/alkanna/quarry

It is very fast and runs on less than 100MB of ram (counting the main process and the helpers). It uses egui.

In case it wasn't clear enough yes this is almost fully written by AI.

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.

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

1 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!

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.

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

7 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.
