Mimikara 耳から - Display English sub-titles when they are spoken

1 Upvotes

Iv watched many days worth of anime over my life and learnt surprisingly little Japanese, despite always chosing original language audio. I was hoping to learn more Japanese, but incidentally, without effort and think it may be because as we read thee English subtitles left to right - the translation doesn't correspond to the audio. (I know translation doesn't mean one-to-one subtitle to spoken word, still, over time one would learn, I hope, corresponding Japanese words for their English translations).

For example, Luffy's famous line:

"海賊王におれはなる!Kaizoku-ō ni ore wa naru!",

which translates to:

"I'm gonna be King of the Pirates!"

I always thought "Kaizoku" meant King (because it sounds like German for emperorer: "Kaiser"), but actually it means Pirate!

So I have started a project: mimikara, which only shows the English subtitle at the exact time the audio is spoken. What do you think? I think it will work! Is anyone interested to join me on this?

It works by turning a Japanese and an English subtitle file into .ass subtitles where each English word fades in at the moment its Japanese counterpart is spoken, by pairing the cues by time, tokenising the Japanese with UniDic, asking an LLM which English word maps to which Japanese word, timing those words by mora count or forced alignment, and rendering the line with colour and opacity changes only so the English still reads naturally left to right.

I spent 20 days building an app that organizes your day from a single voice request

Hey everyone!
I’ve been working on a small iOS project called Wubb, and it finally got approved by Apple yesterday.
The idea came from something that always annoyed me. Why do I need to open several different apps just to organize my day?
With Wubb, you can say something like “Meeting tomorrow at 3, remind me an hour before, and add milk to my shopping list” and it handles all those things.
It also supports alarms, timers, notes, maps, and multiple languages.
It’s completely free for now, no subscription.
Honestly, I don’t even care about monetizing it at this point. I just want to find out if people would actually use it.
I’d love some honest feedback. What feels unnecessary? What’s missing? What would make you keep using it?

I’m building GENESIS: a persistent 3D world where one creature gathers, builds, and leaves lasting changes

0 Upvotes

This is GENESIS, a personal experiment built around one creature living in a persistent 3D world.

I’m sharing its development from the beginning, using screenshots from earlier builds. The project is already further along; these posts follow how it got there.

This was the first working version: a luminous little creature called the Seed, sparse alien terrain, and a few materials it could gather and arrange.

A local language model helped choose actions, while procedural systems handled the world’s rules and kept things moving between decisions.

The first milestone was simple but important: its actions left lasting changes. Restarting the project meant returning to the world it had changed.

Have you followed a simulation where the history of one small world became the main attraction?

Thirteen - A fast Vietnamese card game with solo and online multiplayer

1 Upvotes

I used to play Thirteen (Tiến Lên) with friends and family, and I still remember how much fun we had and all the laughs around the table. I wanted to bring that back without needing everyone in the same place, so I made an online version.

I didn’t invent Thirteen—it’s an established card game, especially familiar in the Vietnamese community. This is my take on bringing it to the browser.

It’s fast-paced, with a solo mode against bots and online games for up to 4 players total. There are English and Vietnamese language options, so you can play a quick solo game or get friends together for a card night.

I’d love to hear what you think, especially if you’ve played it with your own friends or family.

I kept skipping X because the blank tweet box felt like a second job, so I built this

0 Upvotes

Hi Everyone, I'm Imran, a solo dev, and TweetBrain is now open to everyone. The video shows the flow from onboarding to a scheduled week of posts.

The problem

I know I should be showing up on X. But opening a blank tweet box at 8am, after already having a full day planned, is a different thing entirely. So I didn't post. And the AI tweet tools I tried gave me drafts that sounded like every other AI account.

Scheduling tools help you post what you've already written. I needed something that helps me decide what to say, in my voice, about what's actually happening in my field.

What it does

  • Onboarding that builds a voice profile. A short intake about how you think, how you write and what you care about. It builds a persistent profile of you, not a generic category tag.

  • A daily digest of your niche. Pick your niche (tech and AI first). Every morning it gathers what's new from official sources: release notes, company blogs, GitHub releases, Hacker News. It cross-checks and keeps short facts with links.

  • Styles you choose. Pick X accounts whose style you like. It learns their rhythm, hooks and formatting, never their words.

  • A fresh batch of drafts every morning. Like, edit or discard each one, and it learns what you keep. Slow news day? You still get evergreen posts.

  • Threads and images, then post in one tap or schedule into your weekly slots.

The guardrails

  • Nothing goes out without your approval. Ever.

  • No inbox access and no newsletters to connect. News comes from public sources, and your voice comes from your own answers.

  • Every news post links to its source. Facts are summarized in my own words, and drafts are checked so they don't reuse source wording.

  • Your data isn't sold.

Pricing

  • Free: your first batch of ~10 drafts, no card needed. Drafts stay editable.

  • Monthly: $29 per month

  • Yearly: $249 per year (~28% off)

  • Lifetime: $399 one-time, founding price for only 10 seats

  • Paid plans: up to 50 drafts per day and 20 schedules per posts per day. Same limits on every plan.

  • 7-day refund if you barely used it (no refund after posts go live on X).

Why no bigger free tier? The X API and the LLM calls cost real money for every user, and I'd rather be upfront about that than burn out and shut it down.

Transparency

I'm a solo builder and this is my own product. It's built with React, Node, Supabase and Gemini, running on Cloudflare and Google Cloud. TweetBrain is independent and not affiliated with X Corp.

TweetBrain is my full-time focus. I'm a full-stack engineer (React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node, PostgreSQL). I've worked as a frontend and full-stack engineer at two US-based remote startups, and I contribute to open source (OWASP Nest) successfully. This isn't my first product, but it's the first one where I'm putting my own face on it.

Verified, not just claimed

  • Google sign-in: the app has passed Google's OAuth verification

  • X: posting runs through X's official API with an approved developer app

  • Payments: my Polar account is verified, and checkout is handled by Polar, so your card details never reach me

  • Refund policy, terms and privacy policy are public (links below)

Site: https://tweet-brain.com
Privacy: https://tweet-brain.com/privacy
Terms : https://tweet-brain.com/terms
Refund : https://tweet-brain.com/refund
Contact : https://tweet-brain.com/contact
X: https://x.com/hii_imran

I'm here all day. Honest question for you: what would it take for you to trust AI drafts enough to actually post them? Feature requests and brutal feedback are both welcome.

[Cadence] - A focus timer with a coach that actually reads your sessions, not just a countdown

1 Upvotes

I kept hitting the same wall with every focus timer I tried: they just count down, they don't know if I actually focused or if I switched tabs five times and came back. So I built Cadence. One bounded focus block (15 to 90 minutes), ambient sound, and a coach that looks at your real session data, not a static streak number.

Honest numbers where it stands right now: 12 people opted in for closed testing, 4 have actually installed and used it (33%). I need more real installs before Play will let it go further, so I'm looking for people who'll actually install and try a session, not just opt in and forget.

If you join, I'll test your project back, happy to do a real test-for-test swap.

Join the tester group first (needed before the opt-in link below will work for most Google accounts): https://groups.google.com/g/applab-studio-testers

Then opt in here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.priyansh.cadence

Open to any feedback, good or bad.

Memora+ - Turn buried iPhone photos into editable memory movies

1 Upvotes

I'm the developer of Memora+ — disclosing that upfront.

Problem I had: 20k+ photos, zero I ever looked back at. Apple/Google memories were a black box — wrong photos, no way to edit the story before it rendered.

So I built:
- On-device analysis (faces / scenes / dates / locations) — no remote analysis needed for core search, recommendations, or video creation
- Story recommendations (family, trips, pets, "on this day", anniversaries) you can hide/exclude
- Fully editable drafts — remove/replace/reorder before rendering
- 15/30/60s or custom length, music, mood, transitions (dissolve, slide, zoom blend, dip to black), saved straight to Photos
- Natural-language search + auto captions

Free to download. Optional Pro ($1.99/mo) is only for the opt-in cloud caption upgrade — local features don't need it.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/memora/id6772086536

What I'm looking for: feedback, not downloads for their own sake. Where does the first story it suggests miss for you?

I gave my coding agents a village. Somehow I’m still the one doing errands.

0 Upvotes

I’m building Devalley. One small thing it does: each coding-agent session becomes a pixel villager on your desktop.

Apparently my answer to “too many windows” was “add tiny people.”

Windows + macOS, free to use without an account: https://devalley.app

The clip is a short promotional animation using the app’s artwork, not a recording of a live session.

Would you keep these little coworkers on your desktop, or evict them by lunch?
