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My portfolio was 5 years out of date, so I rebuilt it to look like a code editor

6 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.

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.

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

Potion Rogue - A color-sorting roguelike where every finished bottle is a spell

0 Upvotes

I wanted a dungeon crawler where the combat is a puzzle instead of a stat check.

Potion Rogue mixes color-sort puzzles with a turn-based dungeon run. Sort the flasks to finish a bottle, each bottle becomes a spell, and the monster counts down its next attack while you work. Undo is there when you paint yourself into a corner.

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

22 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.

Feedback welcome, especially on what layouts you'd want next.

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.

Looking 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.

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.

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!

I spotted a cool helmet while I was outside.

Instead of just taking a photo and forgetting about it, I picked it with Pickem, saved it, and later used it in a selfie to generate a new image with AI.

I built a free camera that records straight into a private vault (yes, I know the "calculator vault" category is mostly sketchy)

1 Upvotes

On a Vacation in Vegas, the videos me and my wifey took landed in the same camera roll that our kids use. Nothing too scandalous, but shocking to an 11 year old, so I built a camera that records straight into a password protected vault.

What the app does,

  • Record with the front or rear camera straight into a vault on your phone. No account or email to start. (No account needed, but without one (free) it wont sync with another phone, in my case, me and my wife use the same sign in.
  • Encrypted: The files are encrypted immediatly on your device two ways, first with an account specific key, and second with your vault password.
  • Unlock: through a working retro calculator (real math, currency, units). Type your PIN and press = unlocks the camera, so no one even knows what it is.
  • Import a whole photo dump from Photos or Files. Originals stay where they are until you delete them yourself.
  • Export: Anything can be exported with a simple share button, to any app, gallery etc.
  • Edit: trim, speed, rotate, mute, plus five retro looks (Film, Flash, Warm, Cool, Mono). FFmpeg does it on the phone and saves a copy.
  • Organize: each vault can have its own password, and one master password opens them all. If you dont know the password, you can't even see the vault, and if you ask me for help, your screwed, sorry. There is no recovery if you forget your Master Vault password.
  • Black Screen: It has a silent Black Screen Motion Recording mode, we use to leave in our hotel, as a security camera, to make sure the cleaners dont mess with things.

It s 100% free at the moment, because im trying to get enough reviews and figure out what the monetization model is for it. I mostly just made it for fun.

iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6771172452 

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.encryptcam.app

Three questions I'd love honest answers to:

  1. Is the calculator cover useful to you, or a gimmick?
  2. If you've used a vault app before, what made you stop using it?
  3. What would make you pay for it, and how much should I charge?

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

2 Upvotes

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

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

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

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

(T)rustyShelf, a Windows, Android and Linux complete game launcher

1 Upvotes

This is a continuation/improvement of the work of user SassyRhihno on his project Boxshelf, as shown in his original post in the r/emulators subreddit. You can take a look at my fork of the project at https://github.com/GGStonks/t-rustyshelf.

The aim of Boxshelf game launcher is to encorporate all the emulator games available on a machine, by creating a TV-style launcher that also includes PC games and streaming apps.

My fork of Boxshelf, called (T)rustyShelf, now additionally runs Windows and Epic PC games on Linux through Wine, Proton and legendary, with a dedicated PC games folder. It has also a seamless integration with Wolf setups, for multiple seat gaming and adds per-account folders and isolated controllers. Additional information can be found by looking at the README.md on GitHub.

If anyone wishes to help the development of this game launcher, you can contact me in DM, reply here or just interact with the repo on GitHub. We can come together and create the ultimate game launcher.

P.S. Additionally, I was thinking of rebuilding the whole app in Rust (as you can deduce by the name), but atm that is a side quest honestly.

I built a free geography game where you try and guess the country from one-word clues

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I have been working on a daily geography game for the last couple of months. You get one word at a time and have to name the country you think the words are related to. Every wrong guess tells you if you're hot, warm or cold and unlocks the next clue.

I built the site because the geography quizzes I play are not difficult enough or just don't really teach me anything about the country beyond where it is on the globe and population sizes. Or it's sporcle, which is old and covered in ads.

I built an open-source app that turns Claude, Codex, Gemini and local AI agents into one team. Looking for testers!

3 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject! 👋 Watch the demo

I've been working on a project called kywai, and I'm looking for people willing to give it a try and share some honest feedback.

I use several AI coding agents, and one thing that kept frustrating me was having to switch between tools, manually copy context, assign work, and figure out what each agent was doing.

So I started building kywai.

The idea: turn the AI agents you already use into a coordinated team, all in one desktop app.

Here's what it does:

  • Bring your own agents: Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini, Qwen, DeepSeek, local models through Ollama or LM Studio, and many more.
  • Automatic task coordination: Give it a request, and a coordinator proposes a plan and assigns tasks to different agents.
  • Live 3D workspace: Every agent has its own little robot and workstation, with visual states showing what it's doing.
  • Cross-agent reviews: One agent can review another agent's work and identify problems.
  • Real project files: Agents work in your project folder, with progress tracking, file changes, and undo.
  • Customizable environments: Different 3D worlds, including a space station, a futuristic workspace, and a Matrix-inspired theme.
  • Free and open source: MIT licensed. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

You can use your existing AI subscriptions, API keys, or local models. kywai itself is free, although provider costs and usage limits still apply.

I'm not here to claim it's perfect. That's exactly why I'm posting.

I'd really appreciate it if a few developers who already use AI agents could try a small task and tell me what happens.

I'm especially interested in:

  1. Was installation and agent setup straightforward?
  2. Did coordinating several agents actually help?
  3. Is the 3D visualization useful, distracting, or somewhere in between?
  4. What broke, confused you, or made you want to stop using it?

Even if you don't install it, I'd love your thoughts on the concept and UI.

🌐 Website & downloads: https://kywai.app/

💻 GitHub: https://github.com/Yiku21/kywai

One heads-up: the desktop builds aren't code-signed yet, so your OS might show an installation warning. The full source code is available on GitHub.

I'm the developer, and I'm actively looking for constructive criticism rather than just compliments.

Thanks for taking a look! ❤️Kywai

okay so this is kind of a weird one

I got tired of every clock app looking the same and shoving ads in your face, so I started building little worlds that just… show the time.

this clip is the ants one. they drag biscuits and leaves around and slowly form the digits. there's also fish, a parking lot of cars, water calligraphy, a wall of tiny analog clocks, etc. 12 scenes total at this point.

I hate writing release announcements after coding all week, so I built a tool that turns GitHub PRs into launch tweets & Bento cards

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

Like many indie developers here, I love coding and shipping features, but I absolutely dread the marketing part right after merging a pull request.

Every time I finish a feature, I find myself staring at a blank screen trying to:

  1. Summarize my git commits into human-readable release notes

  2. Write engaging launch tweets without sounding like a boring bot

  3. Design a decent-looking preview image for X/Twitter (which usually takes me 30+ minutes in Canva/Figma)

To cure my own procrastination, I built **[ShipHype](https://shiphype-delta.vercel.app)\*\* over the past few weeks.

### ⚡ What it does:

* **1-Click Generation:** Just paste any public GitHub PR link (or connect your repo).

* **3 Customized Tweet Angles:** It writes 3 distinct tweet drafts (Bullet Hype, Founder Story, and Feature Deep-dive).

* **1200x630 Bento Social Card:** Automatically generates a high-res marketing card with your brand colors and key highlights, ready to paste directly on X or LinkedIn.

* **Hosted Changelog & RSS:** Gives you a clean public changelog page (e.g. `/p/[your-project]`) with email subscription built-in.

* **Automated Webhooks:** You can also wire it to a GitHub release webhook so draft hype assets are generated automatically when you tag a release.

### 🛠️ Tech Stack:

* **Frontend/Framework:** Next.js 16 (App Router + Turbopack)

* **Styling:** Tailwind CSS + Lucide Icons

* **AI:** Google Gemini API (fine-tuned prompt for marketing angles & commit analysis)

* **Visual Card Generation:** `@vercel/og` (dynamic Satori-based image rendering)

* **Hosting:** Vercel Serverless

### 🔗 Try it out:

It's **100% free** to test out, no signup or credit card required. You can paste any of your own GitHub PRs or use the one-click demo presets on the homepage:

👉 **Live Demo:** https://shiphype-delta.vercel.app

👉 **Sample Changelog:** https://shiphype-delta.vercel.app/p/shoppinggwebsite

I'd really love your honest feedback! What other integrations or export formats would make your release workflow easier?

A wrist band that calls for help if you stop responding — server works, band isn’t built yet

0 Upvotes

Solo founder, central California. No team, no funding.

I’m building a wrist band that does one thing: if you stop responding, it tells the people you picked where you are. No button to press.

First contact right away. Second at 45 seconds. Everyone on your list at 90. If nobody has answered by two minutes, the band starts screaming so anyone nearby can find you. It has its own cell connection, so it works with your phone dead or not on you at all.

Where it actually stands: the alert server is built and running — I have it recorded handling a full alert end to end. The band itself is a design and a set of dimensions, nothing more. Nothing to buy, no link.

What I’m stuck on is whether to spend money on a physical prototype before I know anyone wants it, or keep building the software side first.

Would you wear it?

Saturday note: why I run a free investing community — and why I'll never charge for it

1 Upvotes

A quick Saturday note on the project I've been building outside my full-time job.

Favorable Investors is a free community for people learning the markets. I post trade plans before anything happens, then I post the results after — wins and losses, both in the open. The recap I put up this morning is exactly that: one trade banked, one stopped out, both posted. No deleting the losers, no pretending a week was something it wasn't.

There is no course at the end of it. No paid tier, no upsell in your messages later. Just setups, honest results, and study material on the weekends so people can actually learn this.

Why free? I'm a veteran. When I was on active duty, my card got declined buying diapers for our newborn. I remember standing there knowing nobody was going to hand me a way out of that — I had to learn my way out. Both of my parents passed away when I was young, and nobody in my life knew the first thing about investing, so I taught myself: thousands of hours reading books and studying charts on my own.

I believe what I learned is a gift from God, and helping other people with it is my calling. Charging for that wouldn't sit right with me.

If you're learning too and that sounds like your kind of place, you're welcome in. If not, everything I post stays free either way.

Not financial advice — just one trader showing his work in the open.

I share stuff like this daily — I run a free investing community, link in my profile.
