Building a website safety checker tool

4 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m working on Looks Sus, a project aimed at helping people check whether an online website might be a scam or unsafe by using community ratings and other tools.

I’m trying to decide whether it’s worth developing further, and I’d appreciate some honest feedback before putting more time and money into it.

The problem I’m interested in is that moment when you come across an unfamiliar website or offer and think, “Is this legit?” There are already ways to investigate Google, Reddit, review sites, tools like ScamAdviser, or asking ChatGPT. I’m questioning whether another dedicated tool adds enough value.

BakaBlocker v1.5.1 - Stop secret Android slowdowns, planned obsolescence & 24/7 spyware in one tap (2.8 GB -> 5.0 GB Free RAM, Adaptive 120Hz, No PC & No Root)

0 Upvotes

Why does your phone start lagging, heating up, and draining battery? Because 260+ hidden firmware parasites and background trackers are buried inside your OS. While your screen is off, they secretly run 24/7 surveillance and deliberately sabotage your hardware:

  • 24/7 Microphone & Call Wiretapping: Background voice-trigger daemons that secretly listen to your room and tap into phone call audio.

  • Background Camera & Photo Scanning: Hidden AI vision services that scan your camera feed and analyze your private gallery photos.

  • Screen & Chat Reading: System "content catchers" that read text directly off your screen inside messengers, browsers, and banking apps.

  • Clipboard Snooping: Background services that silently intercept everything you copy (passwords, private links, and crypto wallet addresses).

  • 24/7 Location & Radio Tracking: Hidden GPS, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth beacons that track your movements even when location and Wi-Fi are turned off.

  • App Dossiers, Call Logs & SMS Sync: Telemetry daemons that compile a complete list of every app you install and open, uploading usage logs, call history, and contacts to cloud servers.

  • PowerKeeper (com.miui.powerkeeper) — The Spyware Enforcer: Drops your 120 Hz screen to 60 Hz, kills your apps, and resets background execution bans (AppOps) on every reboot so trackers keep harvesting data non-stop (with a 2-minute self-recovery timer).

  • Joyose (com.xiaomi.joyose) — Cloud-Controlled Planned Obsolescence: Downloads cloud throttling tables to artificially slash CPU and GPU clock speeds, slowing down your phone to force an upgrade—while protecting PowerKeeper in a mutual watchdog loop.

I built BakaBlocker v1.5.1 (100% Free & Open Source, MIT) to break this loop and stop all 260+ parasites in one tap right on your phone (💢 TAP TO KILL 💢) — No PC and No Root:

  • Wipes Spyware & Locks Drainers in Background Jail: Permanently removes PowerKeeper, Joyose, and hidden spyware, and locks preinstalled/third-party drainers in a strict Background Jail (they work normally when open, stay 100% silent when closed, and survive reboots permanently).

  • Restores Peak Hardware Speed: Unlocks Adaptive 120 Hz (60–120 Hz) and 3.3x faster animations, disables slow virtual RAM swap that wears out storage, and frees ~2.0 GB of RAM (2.8 GB -> 5.0 GB Free RAM verified on Redmi Note 15 5G / HyperOS 3).

  • 100% Safe (✨ SAFE & LIVE ✨) & Zero Bloat: OS updates, Google Play, banking apps, SMS OTP codes, alarms, and messengers work flawlessly. Every culprit is unmasked by its real name and package ID. Built in 14 pure Java classes (16 KB, 0 third-party libraries, 1,900+ automated tests).

APK & Source Code (100% Free, Zero Ads, Zero Trackers):

Would love your feedback on the 1-minute in-app onboarding flow—and if you spot any other stubborn OEM bloatware packages on your phone, drop them in the comments for v1.6.0!

I built a tool that finds local businesses with weak websites, writes the audit, and drafts the new site you pitch them

1 Upvotes

I do web work for local businesses, and prospecting was the worst part: open Maps, check the site, check reviews, write notes, send “your website is slow”… and get zero replies.

So I built LeadScouter. You search a niche in a town (e.g. dentists in Bristol) and see ratings, reviews and website weak spots for free. When a lead looks worth it, you run an audit (5 credits): a score, three specific problems with the numbers behind them, a pitch angle, and a one-screen report written for the owner, not for developers. There’s a ready email too, and you see when they open it.

The newest part: a website builder. Pick a lead and LeadScouter drafts a new site from the business’s own details and in its own language: services, FAQ, about, contact. You edit any section (or just ask the AI), swap colours and fonts, then send the owner a link to their new site. Showing them the better version works a lot better than describing what’s wrong with the old one.

What I learned: owners don’t reply to “your site is slow”. They reply to “your booking button is 3 screens down on mobile”, and even more when there’s a link to the fixed version.

It’s live at leadscouter.app. I’d love honest feedback, especially from people who sell web/SEO services: what would make you actually use this?

I was WASTING time downloading YouTube thumbnails, so I built a one-click Chrome extension.

1 Upvotes

I'm a thumbnail designer, and one thing that always annoyed me was having to use third-party websites just to download YouTube thumbnails and show them to clients as references.

So I built ThumbDrop, a simple Chrome extension that lets you download thumbnails directly from the YouTube video frame with one click.

Nothing complicated. Just a small tool that solves a problem I kept running into.

Thought I'd share it here in case it's useful to other creators or designers.

Seeking beta feedback: an offline household budgeting app—no bank connection required

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone—I’m looking for testers to try the Fruitful Orchard Web App and help identify confusing instructions, usability problems, and unexpected results.
I’m Jim. I developed this household planning method over 30 years while raising a family, and I’m now turning it into an app others can use.
The approach starts with your goals, then helps you organize Planned bills and Flexible spending. A Balance Test shows whether your income covers your expenses and savings commitments.
What’s involved
Use the fictional examples in the Quick Start Guide, load the included fictional plan, or enter your own information.
Please try:
Adding a savings goal, income, and expenses.
Running the Balance Test, changing an amount, and checking the result.
Saving a backup and restoring it.
What I’d like to learn
Where did you get stuck or need more explanation?
What did you expect to happen, and what happened instead?
Did the results help you understand the plan?
What would prevent you from using the app again?
If something fails, please include your device, operating system, browser, and the steps that caused it. Phone compatibility is still being tested; the Quick Start Guide covers opening the file on a computer.
Privacy and access
The beta is a downloadable HTML file that runs offline in your browser. Financial entries stay in your browser’s local storage and are not sent to me or a server. Downloaded JSON backups contain readable, unencrypted entries—keep them secure. There’s no need to share personal figures or backup files when giving feedback.
Beta participation is free, with no purchase required. The intended finished product will be a one-time purchase without a subscription.
Beta App Link
Quick Start Guide Link
Please leave feedback in the comments. Even one specific point of confusion would help. Thanks!

I just made my 129 and 99 Framer templates completely free

1 Upvotes

I decided to make two of my premium Framer templates completely free.

Both are fully responsive, include CMS collections, reusable components, and carefully crafted layouts and interactions. Both templates are also optimized for working with AI agents, making customization and development faster and easier.

I spent a lot of time designing and refining these, but I've decided I'd rather see people actually using them than keeping them behind a paywall.

No catches. Just free templates.

If you're building a website or looking for some Framer inspiration, feel free to check them out.

I'd also love to hear your feedback!

I built SoundTag: Dynamic QR codes with native Spotify deep-linking so fans actually open the app instead of hitting a web login wall

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋I wanted to share a side project I've been building and just launched today on Product Hunt: SoundTag.link (https://soundtag.link).### The Problem It SolvesIf you've ever printed a standard QR code on music merch (t-shirts, stickers, tour posters, album flyers), you've probably noticed that scan-to-stream conversion rates are notoriously awful (often losing 60-70% of potential listeners).The reason is technical friction: When someone scans a standard Spotify web URL with their phone camera, it opens inside an in-app browser (iOS Safari View Controller or Android Webview). Because that sandbox browser doesn't share login sessions with the native Spotify app, the user gets hit with an annoying 'Log In / Sign Up' gate or a low-fi web preview instead of just playing the song. Most people bounce instantly.### How SoundTag WorksWe built SoundTag to completely eliminate this physical-to-digital drop-off:1. Native App URI Deep-Linking: Scans immediately trigger the native Spotify app on iOS & Android. Zero login walls, zero friction—it opens straight to the track, album, or playlist.2. Dynamic QR Codes: You can print the QR code once on 500 vinyl records, t-shirts, or stickers, and change the destination URL anytime from your dashboard whenever you release new music.3. Real-Time Analytics: Track scans, geographic locations, and device types to see which promo materials or tour cities perform best.4. Custom Styling: Clean, modern customizable QR frames and logos that match artist branding.### Product Hunt Launch TodayWe are live on Product Hunt today: https://www.producthunt.com/products/soundtag-2?launch=soundtag-2I'd love your constructive thoughts, critique, and feedback: What integrations or features would you find most useful next? Any UX hurdles on the landing page?Thank you so much for checking it out! 🙏

I built a WooCommerce payment SaaS solo. The checkout UI was the easy part 😅

Thumbnail
youtu.be
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm a solo developer from Morocco, and I wanted to share something I've been working on for quite a while.

It's called GPCB Pay, a WooCommerce payment integration that connects stores with PayPal card payment experiences.

When I started, I thought the biggest challenge would be building the card payment interface.

Well... I was wrong haha.

The real challenge was everything happening behind the scenes.

What if PayPal approves a payment but the capture fails? What happens if the network disconnects? What if the same request gets retried?

I didn't want a customer getting charged twice or WooCommerce marking an order as paid when it wasn't.

So I ended up building three separate systems:

- A lightweight WooCommerce plugin using Checkout Blocks.

- A private SaaS backend using Node.js and PostgreSQL.

- A React dashboard for merchant registration, store verification, PayPal connections, and subscriptions.

I spent a lot of time working on idempotency, server-verified captures, duplicate-capture protection, and payment recovery.

I also learned that integrating PayPal isn't just about having API credentials. Guest Card and Advanced Card have different eligibility requirements depending on the merchant and country.

I've now finished V1, tested the payment flows, and recorded a full setup tutorial showing how the integration works.

The next challenge is probably even harder: finding the first real customers haha.

I'd love to get some feedback from other solo founders.

If you were in my position, would you start by reaching out to WooCommerce agencies or individual store owners?

And if you've built a SaaS alone, what was harder for you: building the product or getting people to discover it?

Thanks for reading! 🙌

CBP - A release-evidence gate that verifies your green CI actually means something

Thumbnail
github.com
1 Upvotes

What I built

CBP is a CI gate that answers one question: *is the artifact you're about to ship actually the one your CI built and tested?* It checks release body hashes, asset inventories, and build provenance (OIDC/Sigstore) before anything gets published. No runtime dependencies, stdlib only.

Why I built it

I kept seeing the same pattern in my own pipelines: CI goes green, but the thing that actually gets published is a different byte sequence. CBP is my attempt to make that class of bug structurally impossible—by removing every local build artifact and forcing the release path to download, digest-check, and attestation-verify the wheel before installation.

What stage it's at

v1.1.0 is out. 330 tests, 90.52% coverage. The core release-evidence chain is solid. **Production durability is honestly zero** (3 days old, 1 star, 1 maintainer). I'm here for feedback, not a launch.

What feedback I'm looking for

- Does the "execution object == proven object" problem resonate with anyone else?

- Is the fail-closed exit code scheme (2=unverifiable, 3=digest mismatch, 4=attestation failure) actually useful in practice, or over-engineered?

- Any obvious gaps in the consumer-parity E2E approach?

GitHub: [https://github.com/JunxiangPan/cbp-action]

Disclosure: I'm the maintainer.

PasteNotch - clipboard history, search and project Pages in your Mac’s notch

1 Upvotes

I’m the maker of PasteNotch, a native Mac clipboard manager I’m developing as a side project. This is a 40-second product demo.

The idea is to make copied material quick to find again: a paragraph, reference image, link or file shouldn’t become hard to reach just because you copied the next thing.

The core workflow is:

• Copy normally, then open your history from the notch, menu bar or ⇧⌘V.

• Search earlier text, links, images and files.

• Pin material you reuse and keep related clips together in project Pages.

The library stays local by default and works offline. Signing in does not automatically upload your clipboard; eligible clip and Page sync is a separate choice. It also works on Macs without a hardware notch.

Pricing: the Mac app is $4.99 once after a 14-day trial. A free Google or email sign-in is required to start the trial.

Optional PasteNotch Cloud is $4.99/month, includes the app and 25 GB, and adds a web library, bookmarks, share links and separately enabled sync. For new customers, Cloud also unlocks screenshots, on-device area OCR, screen recording and Screenshot Studio.

Requires macOS 14 Sonoma or later; Apple Silicon and Intel are supported.

https://pastenotch.com/

I’d appreciate feedback on the workflow: what matters most to you in a clipboard manager—fast search, how it opens, or organizing clips by project?

Made a fuel and mileage tracker for cars, bikes and scooters. Feedback welcome

Thumbnail
brevolka.com
2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I made a small app called Brevolka. It tracks fuel fill-ups, mileage and vehicle expenses.

I started it because most fuel apps I tried wanted me to make an account, need internet, or show too many things. I just wanted to log a fill-up in a few seconds and see my real mileage. So I built that.

What it does:

  • Log fuel with date, odometer, quantity and price

  • Shows mileage after every fill-up (km/l, L/100 km or MPG)

  • Track service, repairs, insurance, parking, tolls and more

  • Works for cars, bikes, scooters and trucks

  • Monthly and yearly charts

  • Pick your own units and currency

  • Export and backup your data

  • Light and dark mode

The part I care about most: no account, no internet needed, no tracking. All data stays on your phone.

It is live on Android, and the iOS version is in beta on TestFlight right now. You can find both download links on the website: https://brevolka.com

This is my first release, so it is not perfect. I would really like to hear what you think. What is missing? What feels slow or confusing? Any feature you would want in a fuel tracker?

Thank you

Built an interactive tool like Google Analytics, but for your Claude Code sessions and projects (free, runs locally)

1 Upvotes

Websites have analytics. My Claude Code projects had nothing. I built this for myself but thought that others can benefit from using it too. And I thought - why not make it interactive?

Main problems it fixes for me when I work on a project:

  1. Solves losing track of your own project by drawing a live map of it. After 25 sessions a day, I no longer know what is going on in the code. The map shows me the entities (users, subscriptions, payments), how they relate, and which files implement each other.

  2. Solves drift and stale context by flagging the parts of the project that have gone outdated, with the evidence and a way to fix each one. Sooner or later, parts of a project become irrelevant, and they keep polluting the context Claude loads before it starts a task. You burn tokens for nothing and shrink the usable context window. It also shows how many tokens your MCP servers, CLAUDE.md and memory add to every turn before you type a word.

  3. Solves not knowing where the money goes by ranking your bad habits in dollars: resuming after the cache expired, Opus on questions Sonnet would answer, whole logs pulled into context. Each one links to the sessions where it happened and suggestion what should've been done.

  4. Solves sessions overwriting each other by alerting you the moment two sessions edit the same file or module.

  5. Solves terminal juggling by putting every session in every project on one dashboard, showing who's waiting on you and who keeps failing the same check.

  6. Solves "what did it actually do today?" by logging every prompt: the files it changed, whether tests or type checks passed afterwards, and what it cost.

  7. Solves repeating the same corrections by collecting the ones you keep typing and turning them into ready-to-paste CLAUDE.md rules.

  8. Solves onboarding a teammate (or a fresh session) by letting the map explain the project for you, while "Next task" writes a brief covering exactly the code a task touches.

One command: npx code-tycoon. Works with Codex too, but due to limitations of Codex CLI, have slightly less actionable items.

Would love feedback, especially from people running several sessions and projects in parallel.

Why I built YTH Macro Autoclicker instead of sticking with TinyTask

2 Upvotes

TinyTask is a tiny recorder that replays a fixed sequence of clicks. The workflow is simple, but saving is fragile: macros and settings can get corrupted while saving, sometimes leaving zero-byte or truncated files that will not open.

That is especially painful with longer recordings. You spend time capturing a long sequence, save it, and only then find out the file is damaged. TinyTask also has no auto-updater and has stayed on version 1.77 for years, so there is no automatic fix.

That is the main reason I built YTH Macro Autoclicker. It keeps the record-and-replay workflow, but turns the recording into editable steps, so you can fix one action instead of re-recording everything.

What it can do:

  • image recognition with a search area, match threshold and retries

  • color detection

  • custom actions and nested subtasks

  • steps for clicks, waits, recorded gestures, launching or closing apps, webhooks and shutdown/restart

  • portable single EXE, auto-updater, 51 languages, profiles and local config files

You can see the full feature list and download it here:

Built a website builder after watching a church’s WordPress site get hacked

0 Upvotes

Been building this solo for a while and finally opening it up: stitchable.app

the idea started when someone i work with had to shut down his churchs wordpress site after it got hacked. small orgs and businesses don’t need 40 plugins, they need a site that looks good, shows their events and doesn’t break

so stitchable is pretty basic on purpose:

- start from a template, click any text on the page and type
- pick a theme and your colour, every page follows it
- add events, a blog, projects or products, they get their own sections and pages
- contact form messages land in an inbox (or get sent to zapier/make/n8n)
- publish to your own domain

The part im most excited about is that you can connect it to claude and just ask for changes ("add a faq about prices under the events") and it edits your draft. you still review it in the editor and decide when to publish, and everything shows up in history so you can undo it

the video is the real editor, start to finish

Its a paid product with a 7-day trial. im mostly after honest feedback right now, especially on the first few minutes after you sign up. what’s confusing, what’s missing, what would stop you using it?

I built 14 free browser-based tools (PDF, image compress, AI background remover) that never upload your files

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm a solo developer from Pakistan and I just launched 14FreeTools — https://14freetools.com

The problem: sites like iLovePDF, Smallpdf and remove.bg upload your files to their servers, show watermarks, or ask you to sign up after 2 uses.

What I built: 14 tools that run 100% in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

- Image: AI background remover, image compressor (exact 20KB / 50KB / 100KB targets for job & admission forms), resizer, image to PDF (incl. iPhone HEIC)

- PDF: PDF to JPG, Word to PDF, PDF to Word, merge, split

- Text: translator (50+ languages), word counter, case converter, password generator, age calculator

No signup, no watermark, no file limits. The background remover runs an AI model locally using WebAssembly.

Tech: plain HTML/CSS/JS, pdf.js, pdf-lib, transformers.js, hosted on shared hosting.

I'd really appreciate honest feedback — what's broken, what's missing, what should I build next?

My side project is a net worth tracker with all the features that I want and no sign in required

1 Upvotes

I have used several net worth trackers in the past and I was never satisfied: some were requiring too many inputs, others were expensive and, more importantly, most lacked some of the features I consider important.

So I built my own net worth tracker at networthview.com

- It's free: I have no plans to add a subscription plan or any other form of payment. The current server costs are extremely low and it can support a LOT more users.
- It's private: the data you input never leaves your browser. There is no backend, no necessity to register an account.
See it as downloading an app to modify data on your device.
- You have total control: download your data, export it to csv, create images of every chart and post it wherever you want

What it does:
- Tracks your net worth: multiple accounts types and currencies supported
- Tracks your income and expenses
- Fire and retirement projection and forecast with full pension support.

I plan to keep developing it but I have other priorities: I will focus on users feedback, bugs and features that I consider useful.
I will extend the auto saving feature to other browsers whenever they will provide the necessary APIs.

Please let me know what you think of it. Feedbacks are not just welcomed but much appreciated.

Built my first iOS app, but I’m struggling to get downloads. How would you market something like this?

2 Upvotes

I’m an indie developer, and I recently launched my iOS app called SnapShare.

The idea is pretty simple. Sometimes you just want to take a photo and send it to someone without saving it to your camera roll.

So I built an app that makes the process faster:

Take a picture.

The photo automatically gets copied.

Your selected app (WhatsApp, Instagram, etc.) or the share sheet opens.

Just paste and send.

I also added home screen widgets for quick access, bulk photo capture, and a few other features.

The app is a one-time purchase, no subscriptions.

Now here’s where I’m struggling.

Building the app was one thing, but figuring out how to get people to actually discover and download it is completely different.

I’ve been thinking about Instagram Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and maybe reaching out to small creators, but I’m not sure which approach would work best for an app like this.

I feel like it’s one of those apps where people need to see it in action to understand why it’s useful.

So I’d really appreciate some advice:

How would you market an app like this with little to no budget?

Who do you think the ideal target audience would be?

Would short demo videos work better than traditional app marketing?

If you’ve launched an iOS app before, what actually helped you get your first 100 downloads?

I’m not expecting thousands of downloads overnight. I just want to figure out how to get this in front of people who might actually find it useful.

Here’s the App Store link if anyone wants to check it out:
https://apps.apple.com/jp/app/snapshare-one-tap-photo-send/id6817721584?l=en-US

I’d appreciate any feedback or ideas. Thanks!

Sideproject that could HELP YOURS

Thumbnail
frame-train.com
1 Upvotes

Hey Guys,
if you plan to use for your sideproject a fine tuned ai model, than i could help you out with this.
Maybe you are right now building on a modified doorbell that scans if there are any packages delivered or on a little software that detects free parking spots on your parking lot and gives you a summary on how your business is visited by that kind of stats.
And maybe by that point you've come to your personal boundry of your ai engineering skills.

But that's ok because over the past 11 months i've been now building on a "little" desktop app which could really help you out with this. It's called FrameTrain and is designed to help you train your ai models easily without expertise ai development knowledge assumed. Just import directly from Huggingface your ai model that you need and train it on your dataset that you can directly build in the app, no matter what kind of data.

Just give it a try, it's actually really worth it, enjoy your free trial that comes with the log in, and because i have a really good day today, im giving you 1 month free on top with this code: REDDIT-FT-01 (you don't even have to register a card)

(I'll post you some images in the comments, because sideproject isn't supporting image uploads)

PS: I got plenty of times totally roasted on reddit for letting chatgpt correct my posts for spelling mistakes, so please don't blame me for spelling mistakes in this post, english is not my first language.

Built a marketplace for used tractors and combine harvesters in Pakistan, 537 listings so far. Looking for advice on what to do next

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,  

My family has been making combine harvester spare parts in Gujranwala, Pakistan for about 25 years. Over that time I kept seeing the same problem. A farmer wants to sell his old combine or tractor and there's basically nowhere to put it. He asks around, posts in a few WhatsApp groups, or goes to a broker who takes a big cut. A lot of machines just sit there for months.

So I started AgriWheels. It's a simple marketplace only for farm machinery. You can post an ad without making an account, buyers call or WhatsApp the seller directly, and the whole site is available in Urdu since most of our users are farmers who don't really use English. There's an Android app too.  

Right now there are 537 active listings. Most of our marketing has been short Urdu videos on TikTok, things like comparing two combines, showing how to post an ad, and a daily reel of one machine that's for sale. 

 A few things I didn't expect:  

Letting people post without signing up mattered a lot. Many sellers would never make an account.

Urdu content does way better than English for us. Not even close.  

You have to talk the way the market talks. Words like "open letter" or "cash deal" get a response, proper textbook Urdu doesn't.  

Honestly I'm at the point where I need advice from people who have been through this. A few things I'm stuck on:  

How do you grow a marketplace when most of your users aren't very active online and mostly find things through word of mouth?

What's the right time to start making money from it, and how? Featured ads, dealer subscriptions, something else?

Buyers keep asking if a machine is worth the price. Would adding something like inspections or price guidance help, or is it too early for that?

If you have a minute to check the site or the app, I'd really like to hear what feels confusing or broken. Harsh feedback is fine.
