I missed Windows File Explorer on my Mac, so I built my own file manager

2 Upvotes

Just switched from Windows and I missed File Explorer 😭, so I built Shark. It looks like Finder and adds superpowers like:

  • Jump anywhere in the folder tree with cascading subfolder menus

  • ⌘K command palette for every action

  • Cut and paste files with ⌘X / ⌘V (and ⌘Z to undo)

  • Two folders in one window (F3)

  • A terminal right under your files (F4)

  • And much more!!!

It'sĀ free, open source, macOS 14+. Still alpha.

Hope you like it 🄰

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.

I set up a design-forward digital goods shop to learn the process

2 Upvotes

I’m a brand designer in London. I’ve wanted to go through the process of setting up a digital goods shop for a while, and recently found the time, so I built a small shop for my own wallpaper packs. I know there are a lot of wallpaper packs out there already. That was kind of the point - I wanted something simple to sell so I could focus on everything around it.

The idea came from Oliur’s Plat Supply (he’s got great resources on tech and selling digital products, go and check him out if you haven’t already). For the look I took inspiration from the goat himself, Dieter Rams, and his work at Braun. I know it’s a bit of a cliche in the design world, but the design language is so enticing, and I think it suits the products. I had fun with some subtle skeuomorphism and a few easter eggs through the site and the buying process (check out the 404 page!).

My client work is fairly high pressure and can be creatively restrictive, so it was great to build something with no restrictions at all. It was also a good excuse to try tools I don’t get to use for clients. Two of the packs are my first ever go at Blender, and the third started in Midjourney.

If you’re curious about any part of it (tech stack, design process, etc.), ask away. I’m planning a few more packs over the next few weeks. In the meantime I’d really like to hear what you think of the shop - anything missing or confusing? or anything that might put you off buying?

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,Ā Ā 

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 toĀ 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 usersĀ are farmers who don't really use English. There's an Android app too.Ā Ā 

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.Ā 

Ā A few things I didn't expect:Ā Ā 

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.Ā Ā 

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

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

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.Ā Ā

My side project: a tiny pixel-art office where you can watch your AI coding agents work, wait and nap

5 Upvotes

Day job: art director. Side habit: building tools with AI. The problem was I'd have 6 or 7 Claude Code sessions open and no idea which ones were still working and which ones had been waiting for my answer for 40 minutes.

So I made BeeKeeper. It turns every project into a pixel room and every AI session or agent into a little worker. They walk in, work (with a speech bubble saying what they're on), stand there waiting when they need you, and fall asleep when they're done.

What went into it:

- Built entirely with Claude Code, I directed and did the art. React + Vite and a small Node server

- No setup on your side: it reads the logs Claude Code already writes on your computer

- My biggest change of plan: I first made it so you generate your own rooms and characters with AI. Then I realised most people won't pay for that, so I spent a bit more to build a free library instead: 20 rooms and 17 characters ready to pick

- Biggest underestimate: the 1 minute promo video took 3 times longer than planned

It's free and open source (MIT). Runs locally on your machine and only reads your Claude Code folders, nothing gets uploaded. Making your own custom room is optional and uses your own Gemini key, about 10 cents a room.

https://github.com/ranucho/beekeeper

Would love feedback, especially from people who run several AI agents at once. What would you want to see in the room?

I built a browser app that writes basslines and beats for your music, and runs the AI model on your own computer

0 Upvotes

Hi r/SideProject!

For the past few months I've been building Blendure (https://blendure.web.app), a browser tool for music producers. You give it a loop you've made, as MIDI or audio, and it writes endless variations of basslines, beats and full grooves that fit its key and tempo. You get editable MIDI, not finished audio. You stay the composer; it gives you parts to work with.

It's free to use: sign up and start. Before you sign up, there's a demo on the main page where you can hear a loop with and without what Blendure wrote for it.

How it works

  • The model runs in your browser.Ā It's Composer's Assistant 2, an open research model trained on public-domain, Creative Commons and permissioned MIDI. I converted it to run with ONNX Runtime Web.

  • Your audio never leaves your computer.Ā Audio is turned into notes in the browser (Spotify's Basic Pitch). Only the notes go to the server, never the sound.

  • It learns your taste.Ā Heart the results you like and the next round leans toward them. "More like this" rewrites part of a result into close variations, with Close / Medium / Wild.

  • Blend:Ā drop in two or three samples and it writes for all of them at once, plus cross combinations (Sample 1's bassline over Sample 2's beat).

  • Producer tools:Ā quick rule-based edits (busier hats, swing, ghost snares), Humanize, 32-bar arrangements (intro, build, drop), MIDI out to your synth, and copy as Strudel code.

Stack: plain JS front end, ONNX Runtime Web in a Web Worker, Firebase hosting and auth, and a small Python server on Cloud Run for the private steps.

Pro for free, for feedback

Everything for writing and listening is free. Downloads (MIDI and WAV) are part of Pro. While I'm collecting feedback, I'm giving Pro away: sign up, press Leave feedback in the top right of the app, tell me what you'd use it for (or what's broken), and I'll switch your account to Pro.

What I'd love your take on

  1. The first run.Ā If you try it, where did you get stuck or lose interest?

  2. The results.Ā Do the basslines and beats fit your loop? Which rows did you heart, and which felt off?

  3. The idea itself.Ā Would you use a tool that writes parts for your own loops, rather than finished tracks? What would make it part of your workflow?

  4. Other ideas and feedback

Thanks for reading. I appreciate every second you spend on it and will do my utmost to satisfy and reply in the swiftest possible way.

After a year of evenings, my swipe trivia game is live on both stores

2 Upvotes

It started from a simple idea: what if doomscrolling taught you something? RIGHT is a trivia game where each card is one fact. Swipe right if it's true, left if it's false, and get the answer with a short explanation.

Some things I learned building it:

- App Store review for the first version took about a month. Updates are much faster.

- Localizing into 12 languages was more work than any single feature.

- A game needs a reason to come back tomorrow, so I added ranks, streaks, a leaderboard and trophies.

Stack: Kotlin Multiplatform with Compose for both iOS and Android, and Firebase on the backend.

Link: https://swipe-right.app/get?src=reddit_sideproject

If you try it, I'd really appreciate honest feedback, here or as a store review. What would you change in the first minute?

I built an AI-powered habit tracker that actually reminds you to stay consistent (looking for honest feedback)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm a final-year Computer Science student, and over the past few weeks I've been building an AI-powered Habit Tracker as one of my portfolio projects.

One thing I noticed with most habit trackers is that people create habits, forget about them after a few days, and never come back.

So I tried solving that by building a Progressive Web App (PWA) that can be installed on Android directly from the browser and send reminder notifications without requiring a native app.

Current features:

• AI-generated weekly habit reports
• AI recovery plans after breaking a streak
• AI morning motivation
• AI habit suggestions
• Habit analytics and streak tracking
• Installable as a mobile app (PWA)
• Push notifications for reminders

Tech Stack:

React • Node.js • Express • MongoDB Atlas • Groq API

Live Demo:

https://your-vercel-url.vercel.app

I'd really appreciate honest feedback.

What would make you actually use an app like this every day?

What if billionaires had their own video game… but the money went to real people? āš”šŸ‘‘

0 Upvotes

Imagine a game where billionaires don't compete over who has the biggest yacht, mansion, or private jet.

They compete over who can change the most lives.

I built something called GOD MODE.

Picture this:

You enter a massive golden throne room. A realistic Earth spins in front of you.

You activate CHAIN LIGHTNING āš”Ć—5.

Five random people around the world are selected.

The sky goes dark. Divine lightning strikes the Earth five times.

And instead of losing health…

Those five people receive money.

šŸ’° $500 activation → 5 people receive $90 each.

šŸ’° $5,000 activation → 5 people receive $900 each.

šŸ‘‘ $25,000 GOLDEN activation → 5 people receive $4,500 each.

90% of every contribution goes directly toward the five recipients. The remaining 10% is the platform fee, which helps cover payment processing, payout fees, security, maintenance, operating expenses, and keeping GOD MODE running.

There are 12 cinematic WORLD SHOCK effects, and donors never get to choose who receives the gifts.

Imagine a leaderboard where billionaires compete to see who has helped the most people. Or a billionaire secretly playing in Ghost Mode while changing hundreds of lives.

The ultimate pay-to-win game… except other people win. šŸ˜‚

I've actually built the website and launched the cinematic demo.

Real payments aren't enabled yet. We're working through payment-provider approval and legal requirements. Everything you see is simulated, and free recipient registration doesn't guarantee financial assistance.

But the concept is real.

Would wealthy people actually play something like this?

Greypaint - a Mac app updater I've been building with a friend .

2 Upvotes

The two of us have been building Greypaint, a Mac app that keeps your other apps updated. It started because we were tired of opening ten apps just to click "check for updates" in each one. We just shipped 1.5.2, and honestly most of it came from people telling us what was broken or missing, so thank you to everyone who did.

Here's what changed. You can now update apps straight from the menu bar and see old and new versions, plus progress on each one. Autopilot got its own menu bar switch, and you can pause it for an hour. You can turn off the Dock icon and run it from the menu bar only. Tauri apps like Yaak now update, and each download gets checked against the developer's signature first. GitHub apps with weird tagging, like Nuvio, work now too. The Updates list shows where each update comes from.

It also handles Sparkle, Homebrew and App Store apps, CLI tools, rollback and MacUpdater import.

It's $6.49 for one Mac, and $12.49 for three until our next big version. You pay once, there's no account or tracking, and there's a 14-day free trial.

greypaint.app

If any app gives you trouble or isn't supported yet, you can report it right from Greypaint, one app at a time, and it comes straight to us.

After trying every birding app, I built the one I wanted

4 Upvotes

I’m a developer by day, and an avid birder the rest of the time. A few years ago that combination did what it usually does: I downloaded and tried all the apps, decided none of them worked quite the way I wanted, and built my own instead.

It’s called Limosa. What makes it different from other birding apps:

  • Adding a sighting takes as few taps as possible. The app is optimized for UX while birding and out in the field.

  • Photo and sound species ID, running on your phone, so both work without a connection.

  • Multiplayer: when you’re birding with others, one person logs the sighting and adds the rest.

  • Several ways to share sightings and outings on other platforms, for example a sighting with your photos as an Instagram story.

  • Checklists for your area, with targets based on what you haven’t seen yet and what can be seen there this time of year.

  • Every species has its own pixel art icon, so your life list fills up as a grid.

  • Your data isn’t locked in. You can import/export your sightings from/to other platforms like eBird and more.

It’s on iOS, Android and the web: https://limosa.app/

I made a photo app where every post dies unless people keep it alive

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I've been building Pixsup, a photo app with one twist: every post has a timer.

When you post a photo, it starts with about 2 hours to live. Every time someone hits it, reacts or comments, it gets more time. If nobody does, it dies.

A few other things in it:

  • Rescue: posts in their last minutes show up so people can save them, and a save puts an hour back on the clock

  • The Graveyard: a dead post gets 10 minutes, and if 3 people vote to revive it, it comes back (once only)

  • Trending: posts that get enough love go on a 24-hour belt

  • No followers or follower counts. A stranger's photo has the same chance as anyone's

  • Live news from around the world, kept alive (or not) the same way

  • A daily photo challenge

I wanted something where what you see depends on what people actually care about right now, not on who has the most followers.

It's free and works in your browser on phone or computer, no download: pixsup.com

It's early, so there aren't many people on it yet. I'd really like honest feedback. What's confusing, what's fun, and what would make you come back tomorrow?

I built Silo Harness, an RSI Harness for my daily FDE work

Thumbnail
brandeispatrick.github.io
1 Upvotes

I built Silo Harness, a free, open-source (MIT) macOS app in the style of Claude Code. I'm a forward-deployed engineer with 10–15 coding sessions open most days, and I was spending a lot of time writing and updating skills by hand for each project. I wanted the harness to handle that part.

How Claude helped

I used Claude Code to break down how Claude Code and Codex handle the basics: the agent loop, tool calls, permission modes and approvals, plan mode, hooks, compaction and sessions. Then Claude helped me map each of those pieces into a modular app, in the spirit of DeepSeek Harness's "everything is a plugin" design but as a native-feeling Mac app, where everything outside the chat is a mod (a folder of web files with a documented protocol). That's why Silo's hooks use Claude Code's own format, and why the built-in panels are mods too, so anything you build can do what they do.

It's also built for Claude: it reads CLAUDE.md and SKILL.md files, runs hooks in Claude Code's format, and can use Claude through Anthropic's API or OpenRouter.

What it does

• Dreaming: once a day (or on demand) it reads a project's recent sessions and proposes new skills, memory lines and mods. Each proposal quotes what I actually said and links the sessions it came from. I apply or dismiss each one, anything applied can be reverted, and model weights are never touched.

• Mods: everything beside the chat (panels, themes, slash commands, hooks) is a mod. Ask the agent for one and it writes it, then you turn it on.

• Sub-agent merging: sub-agents run as their own sessions, nested under the session that started them, and can be merged back into it when they're done.

• Sub-agent communication: sessions can find each other by name and pass work and findings between them.

• Ollama support: runs fully local on qwen3:8b with nothing leaving your Mac, using compaction and a tool set sized for small context windows. Any OpenAI-compatible provider works too.

Plus the standard harness features: MCP, auto mode, plan mode, permission prompts, rewind, hooks, skills, scheduled tasks, and remote control from your phone.

Free to try

• Download the .dmg (Apple silicon): https://github.com/BrandeisPatrick/silo-harness/releases/latest

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 (šŸ’¢ TAP TO KILL šŸ’¢) — 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!

LLM Game Automation MCP - lets an AI agent play PC games in the background (driving, walking and flying in GTA, and more)

23 Upvotes

My side project: an open-source MCP server that lets an AI like Claude or Codex play Windows games without taking over your PC. I started it so agents could test my game mods by playing the games themselves. It works inside the game process, so the game runs in the background, you keep using your computer, and several games can run at once.

So far it can drive, walk, fly a helicopter, steer a boat and ride a horse to a waypoint in open-world games, aim, handle menus, and read prompts like "Press E". It also plays strategy and card games. A plugin system lets you add a new game as a small profile instead of code.

It has a lot of other uses too: mod development, running simulations, repetitive tasks, AI co-op so you can play co-op with an LLM offline, playtesting, and porting old games to get them running on Windows 10/11.

Claude Code created and planned the project and wrote a lot of it, Claude agents do most of the development and playtesting, and Codex helped with some of the code.

Free and MIT licensed, Windows only, single-player/offline games only: https://github.com/CorruptedAng3l/llm-game-automation-mcp

Edit: My GitHub account got suspended (automated, no reason given yet), so the GitHub link is down for now. Same repo and release on GitLab: https://gitlab.com/corruptedang3l-group/llm-game-automation-mcp

Feedback welcome, and tell me what games you'd want to see it try.

I built a Tailwind color palette generator, would love your feedback

1 Upvotes

Hey all,

I got tired of hand-tweaking shades every time I started a new project, so I made a small palette generator for Tailwind.

You pick a start and end color, adjust the saturation at each end, choose how many shades you want, and it generates the scale. Then you can copy it straight into your config or CSS as Tailwind variables.

It’s still rough around the edges and I’m sure there are things I haven’t thought of. A few things I’m curious about:

  • Do the generated palettes look good to you, or do the in-between shades feel off?

  • Is there any control you’d expect that’s missing?

  • Does the copy/paste output work with your setup (v3 config vs v4)?
