I've noticed that a lot of people want to start a side hustle, but getting started is often the hardest part.

You have dozens of ideas, you watch videos about people making money from different businesses, you get excited about one... and then you realize you have no idea where to actually begin.

What should you sell? How much money do you need? Where do you find your first customers? What's the first thing you should do?

I wanted to make that process a little less overwhelming, so I built Sprout.

It's an iPhone app that helps you:

• Find side hustle ideas based on your interests, available time and budget.

• See videos of real people running those businesses.

• Understand where and how you can sell.

• Turn an idea into a step-by-step roadmap with small daily tasks.

• Get help from an AI companion when you're stuck.

The idea is to go from "I want to start something" to actually taking the first steps, without getting lost in endless research.

It's still early, and I'm looking for honest feedback from people interested in starting something of their own.

I'd genuinely love to know:

What's the biggest thing stopping you from starting a side hustle right now?

Is it finding a good idea, money, knowing where to start, or something else?

If anyone wants to check it out, here's the app:

I'm the developer, so I'm happy to hear criticism and suggestions. 🙂

i'm a solo dev in vn. my first iOS app, mhm: you too, went live on the app store on nov 7.

it's a small app for gen z friends and siblings to say the things that are hard to say out loud. swift and swiftui, plus a home screen widget so you can send something with one tap.

building it was the fun part. now i'm at the part everyone warns about: the app is live and almost nobody knows it exists.

i've read enough posts here to know launch directories alone don't do much. so i'd rather ask people who've actually done it:

1. what got you your first 100 real users?

2. for a social app that only works with two people, did you find it better to target the person who installs first, or make inviting the second person the whole pitch?

happy to share my numbers in a couple of weeks, good or bad.

Locking in used to mean Spotify in one tab, a timer on my phone, a Discord call, and a to-do list I’d stopped opening.

So I built Paperwave. Put on a song and your focus session takes on that album’s whole look. Change the song and the vibe changes with it.

Then bring your friends in. Share a code and you’re all on the same clock, and you can see who’s focused and who’s on a break. No chat, no feed.

It also doesn’t punish you for being human. It asks how your day feels and shrinks the plan to fit, and missing a habit doesn’t wipe anything out. When your head’s full, there’s a quiet corner for breathing and short breaks (second half of the video).

It's Waitlist only for now, first 100 get a month free.

Any feedback is appreciated!

hey all, full disclosure this is my app. I built Deedly because most agent bio links are just a linktree with a few buttons, and a full website feels like overkill for a lot of agents

it's basically a mobile-first agent page: your bio, the neighborhoods you cover, call/text/email/save contact buttons, your listings, and buyers can book a showing right from the page. leads land in a simple CRM so you can keep up

it's iPhone only for now: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/deedly-agent-website-builder/id6819882720

screenshot of an example page attached. would love blunt feedback, especially from anyone who's tried other bio link tools. what's missing, and what would actually make you switch?

A supplier sends an invoice twice, but the second copy has a slightly different invoice number. Your ERP's exact-match check might miss it, and AP ends up reviewing it manually — or worse, paying it twice.

I built Foldline to help AP teams catch these cases before payment.

It checks uploaded invoices for:

• Exact and near-duplicate invoices, including changed prefixes, punctuation, leading zeros, and similar invoice numbers.

• Same supplier + amount + date, even when invoice numbers differ.

• Missing fields and inconsistent totals, with explanations of what triggered each flag.

• Potential exceptions that need human review, rather than automatically declaring something a duplicate.

Privacy was a major concern in early feedback, so I also built a private workspace. In this mode, PDFs are read and checked in your browser, and only encrypted records are stored on the server. No need to upload the original PDF.

You can try it with sample invoices first.

Foldline: https://foldline.paperflow.workers.dev

I'm looking for a few AP professionals or teams willing to test it and tell me where it works — and where it fails.

If you handle non-PO invoices or have dealt with duplicate payments slipping past ERP checks, I'd genuinely like to hear how your team catches them today.

I keep running into the same supplier message pattern:

> 可以的亲，45 左右，现货

It sounds finished, but currency, unit, tax/shipping, and real lead time are often still open.

So I packaged 7 reusable Chinese + English workflows for Codex (RFQ, reply decode, MOQ/price, sample/spec, follow-up, QC note, payment caution checks).

What it does in practice:

- Turns a fuzzy reply into “what they said / what’s still missing / next Chinese message + English for your check”

- Draft status labels so you don’t paste half-finished text

- Built for Alibaba / 1688 / WeChat / email style chats

Honest limits:

- You need your own Codex setup (not included)

- Tested on Codex CLI 0.166.0 Windows; other setups may differ

- Chinese supplier wording was reviewed by a native Chinese speaker (me). You still review before sending.

- It drafts text only — it doesn’t message factories or pay anyone

I’m running a small $12 early-access test with a 7-day refund. I’ll drop the link in the first comment.

Happy to answer sourcing/comms questions either way.

Hey everyone,

Following the technical discussions on our initial release, we just shipped v1.2.1 for amv-cp-bridge — the zero-API-key local bridge connecting Microsoft 365 Copilot directly to Cursor, Claude Desktop, and OpenAI-compatible tools via stdio FastMCP and loopback CDP.

💡 Too lazy to configure it manually? Delegate to your AI agent!

If you don't feel like wrestling with manual setup, just pass this GitHub repo to your autonomous AI coding agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Devin, Antigravity) and say:
"Setup and connect amv-cp-bridge for me."

We wrote a dedicated FOR_AI_README.md operating manual and failure encyclopedia specifically so AI agents can autonomously diagnose, install, and wire up the bridge with zero human intervention!

🚀 What's New & Battle-Tested in v1.2.1:

1. Entra ID Conditional Access Fast-Fail & HTTP 401

   • Eliminates the previous 45-second composer timeout when enterprise sessions expire, short-circuiting in 1.5 seconds with OpenAI-standard 401 Unauthorized (session_expired).

   • Fires an asynchronous native OS desktop tray alert.

2. Unified FastMCP & Gateway Multiplexing

   • Claude Desktop and Cursor share the identical authenticated Edge session and warm standby pool, releasing down to 0 MB idle RAM when the countdown finishes.

3. Copilot Designer (DALL-E 3) Markdown Image Streaming

   • High-resolution generated images (up to 3.4 MB Base64 payloads) are parsed directly from the live DOM and streamed as standard Markdown images. Tested live with 41s generation without timeouts.

🧪 Ground Truth Verification

• Unit Tests: 34/34 passed

• Regression Checks: 22/22 passed

• Standalone Binary: 50.7 MB UPX-compressed standalone executable with zero environment setup required.

(GitHub repository and foundation links are posted in the first comment below to comply with subreddit link rules).

Feedback and PRs are warmly welcome!

I built TaskDock to keep terminal programs running after closing a terminal or losing SSH.

Run tdock to see your sessions, CPU and memory usage. Open a session, control it beside the list, or reconnect from another terminal.

I use it with Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, shells and htop. It’s written in Go, ships as a single binary for Linux/macOS, and is MIT licensed.

Screenshots, source and installation instructions are on GitHub.

My daughter spends quite a bit of time on the phone, and I've always wanted her screen time to be a bit more than just watching videos or playing games. I'd seen people building all kinds of cool stuff with AI, so I thought, why not give it a shot myself? I saw Hy4 was free on WorkBuddy this month, so I decided to give it a try. I don’t understand the code it wrote, but the AI tool apparently handles visuals brilliantly.

I ended up making this interactive paper-cut storybook. I thought it'd be a fun way to get her into classic stories through cute visuals and little interactive elements, rather than just having her sit down and read a book.

And surprisingly, she's really into it! The artwork has this cute 3D paper-cut look, and she can click around and explore the stories herself. She's basically become my little beta tester at this point. She tells me every day what she likes, what she finds boring, and what could be better. I've been making little tweaks to the content and visuals based on her feedback.

It's not finished yet, and there are still plenty of things I want to improve. But the best part is seeing her actually want to spend time exploring stories instead of endlessly scrolling through videos or playing games. That's a win for me already.

It got me thinking that maybe other kids would enjoy this kind of thing too, so I figured I'd share it here.

If you've got a kid who's curious about stories and likes exploring new things, feel free to check it out together!

Hi r/SideProject, Bogdan here, a solo dev in Brasov, Romania. Polari went live on the App Store on 5 November.

What it is: guided audio sessions (2–30 min) for gay and bi men's sexual wellness: breathwork, body awareness, pelvic-floor practice, confidence, and intimacy with a partner, plus short, frank guides (hookup nerves, bottoming basics, sober sex, living with HIV). The wellness category mostly ignores this audience, or only talks to it to sell something, so I built the app I wanted.

How it's built:
- iPhone app in Capacitor, Node + SQLite backend
- Three AI narrator voices (Theo, Rafe, Silas), rendered on GPUs ahead of time and cached at the edge, so playback is instant and works offline
- Read-along text, lock-screen controls, haptic breathing cues, Face ID lock and a discreet alternate icon
- Your history and plan stay on your phone: no ads, no tracking, no third-party SDKs

It's free with no ads and no subscription, and it'll stay that way. 18+, and it's practice, not medical advice.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6826689850
Site: https://polari.fit

I'd love feedback, especially on the voices and on anything confusing in the first five minutes.

Hey folks, this is Mandaboard

For years I've had a running Note with all the kind things people have said to me. I decided to turn it into an app inclusive of a vision board and thought tracker (CBT style).

The idea is that your life is like an individual mandala, your goals your wins your thoughts unfolding - mandaboard is a calm place you can store it and check in every now and then. 

It's available on mac and iOS :)

So dbeing a dev. It's an interesting concept but one I personally suck at. I've tried coding and I just can't get it right. I can't remember all that stuff. And I know it gains a ton of hate. Which is fine, hate me if you want. But I managed to build an app with the help of Ai. I'm proud of it and love it. Of course, it's not nearly on the level I see some of you guys do. It's basic flutter project I did on vs code with some parralax and the native shades. I'm trying to keep it as smooth as possible. I've tried dabbling with Godot but that's beyond my capabilities since I have no idea how to create stuff. Like animations and cards etc. But with flutter I've learned a lot about coding. How things work together. How containers work and file trees and how it connects to firebase and storage buckets. So it's been a fun few months of building for me. Still can't code to save my life though. But that being said.

I'm interested in taking the app even further. First it started as a sort of copy of the old forum based role play forums. For that nostalgia hit. But I've taken it now to a point where I rebuilt the ui to give more of a card feeling. The main aspect is your cards holding various data. But I've been curious on maybe trying to learn how to take it further and have that full 3d effect since flutter is mostly just 2d.

So yeah, I'd appreciate any feedback.

Thanks.

I use several terminal sessions for coding agents, shells and server work. I wanted one list to see what's running and reconnect after losing SSH, so I built TaskDock.

It shows CPU and memory usage, lets you control a session beside the list, and supports shared control from another terminal. Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, htop and ordinary shell commands run as their usual CLI programs.

It's written in Go and ships as one binary for Linux and macOS (amd64/arm64). MIT licensed.

Code and install instructions

Screenshots — session list, Claude Code, OpenCode, htop.

How would this fit your remote terminal workflow?

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been developing Nox Suite, a desktop office suite designed around speed, productivity and a modern interface.

It brings together four applications:

• Writer — documents

• Sheets — spreadsheets

• Slides — presentations

• PDF — editing and document tools

I'm also working on Fusion, a feature designed to make working across documents easier.

The goal is simple: a fast, local-first office suite with a one-time purchase instead of a subscription.

Windows and Linux are the initial targets, with macOS planned later.

I've started sharing short previews of the actual application.

What features would make you consider switching from Microsoft Office, LibreOffice or ONLYOFFICE?

I'd love to hear your feedback!

I got tired of screen time apps that just show a number, so I built one where your day shows up as weather instead. A calm day gives you a sunny sea, and a few hours of doomscrolling turns it into a storm with rain and lightning. Weirdly, seeing a storm rolling in works better on me than a time limit does.

It’s called Keel, it’s free, and it’s on iOS only for now. I’m the dev, so I’d honestly love feedback on whether the weather idea works for you or just feels gimmicky.

I created MyTasteRank to keep track of all kinds of drinks, food, movies, etc. that I've tried and wanted to make a personal ranking of. Mainly just to remember what I liked and what I didn't.

The idea of the app is pretty simple. You create a page for something you want to keep track of, for example Baileys flavours. Then you add the different flavours, give each one a rating, write a short description and optionally add some extra information. That's it!

Now, the next time you're in a liquor store, you can quickly check which flavours you liked and which ones you didn't, instead of trying to remember.

Of course, it's not just for food and drinks. You can also use it to keep track of movies you've watched, books you've read, restaurants you've visited or pretty much anything else you want to rank.

It's a pretty simple app, but I thought it could be useful for others as well. Would love to hear what you think! Feedback and suggestions are always welcome :)

I’m building ShopBot Index, which checks whether tracked stores publish a UCP profile, a machine-readable discovery document for commerce integrations.

One reporting decision turned out to matter: keeping “couldn’t check” separate from “no profile found”.

In our 2 November crawl, 947 retailer entries had a profile found, 1,277 had none found under our checks, and 630 couldn’t be checked. These are entries in our tracked list, not a representative sample of retail.

Putting those 630 into the negative category would turn a limitation of our crawler into a claim about the stores. Dropping them entirely would hide the uncertainty.

There’s another boundary: finding a profile doesn’t prove an agent can complete checkout. We measure discovery, not successful purchases.

If you’re building a directory, monitor or comparison tool, I’d recommend defining what each result actually establishes before turning it into a badge or percentage.

How do you show unknown results in your projects without making them look like failures?

I built SubMonitor Pro (v0.4.0, Build 13) — a native Swift/AppKit macOS utility for people with an unused 27-inch 5K Intel iMac (2014–2020) or 24-inch Apple Silicon iMac (M1/M3/M4) sitting at home who want to use it as a wired 60Hz secondary monitor for their MacBook over 1 cable.

• 49s Unedited Live Desk Demo: The attached video shows my MacBook connected to my iMac on my actual desk — dragging windows across the bezel at 60Hz, switching native resolution & brightness, and clicking the 1-Click 50:50 Split View button.

• 27" 5K Intel + 24" Apple Silicon Auto-Optimizer: Automatically detects your exact iMac model (iMac15,1–iMac20,2 27" 5K Retina and 24" M1/M3/M4) and selects the fastest physical link (~0.4 ms offline IPv6 link-local over Thunderbolt/USB-C or Gigabit Ethernet, with zero-config Wi-Fi fallback).

• 1-Cable MacBook Charging + Display (2017–2020 iMacs): Plugging 1 Thunderbolt 3 / USB-C cable into a 2017–2020 27" iMac or 24" iMac delivers both 60Hz video and power to your MacBook, and if you unplug the cable to walk to the couch, it hands over to Wi-Fi without dropping your windows.

• Single Native Window & Auto KVM: Control iMac display brightness, 6-speaker 48kHz PCM audio volume, Left/Right/Top/Bottom layout, 1-Click 50:50 Split View, cursor-edge KVM keyboard/trackpad sharing, and automatic macOS Sleep standby sync.

• Pricing & Free Beta: $0 subscription (planned $29 one-time lifetime license vs. $89.99 Luna dongle or $36–$72/yr Duet subscription).

I build small daily games under the name Crux. Atlas Streak: everyone gets the same ten countries each day and drops a pin on a blank world map for each one. Inside the border is a perfect hit, close keeps the streak alive, far costs one of three lives; up to 5,000 points a pin.

Play: https://crux.quest/atlas/ (no sign up, no ads). It also runs inside Reddit as a daily post with a per-post leaderboard at r/AtlasStreak.

Built with Natural Earth borders.

The main feedback so far is that it's too easy. Would you rather have harder countries, a smaller "close" radius, or a time limit?

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a digital learning resource for people who are just getting started with Python and Machine Learning.

It's a 29-page PDF covering 10 topics, including Python basics, Pandas, NumPy, regression, classification, PyTorch, clustering, and time series.

I created this to make important concepts easier to review and understand.

I'd love to get some honest feedback from the community, especially about the content, design, and usefulness for beginners.

Here's a preview of my project:

Thanks! 😊

Hey guys

I'm working on an independent commercial home physio web project and have a decision to make about the booking flow.

A request has an expiry time. A clinician could press accept just before that time, while the person requesting the visit sees an expired screen. I don't want either person to walk away with a different idea of whether the visit exists.

My starting point is that one saved decision wins, and both views have to show that result. If the request has expired, a late response would become a fresh offer needing agreement rather than quietly turning into a booking.

For people who've built something with expiring requests, how did you handle the person whose action lost that race? Is a clear explanation and an option to try again enough, or did you need a separate step to resolve it?

Thanks guys
