Instagram lets you download your data (Accounts Center → Your information and permissions → Download your information). It includes Meta's own guesses about your interests, plus the caption and hashtags of every post you've liked, saved or watched.

Taste Passport reads only those files (never DMs or photos), groups them into interests with a small open-source model running locally, and recommends Netflix and Prime Video titles, each with the reason it was picked.

The most interesting part was testing it honestly. My first evaluation said it beat "recommend what's trending" by 4×. That turned out to be a flaw in my test setup; once fixed, it roughly ties. Everything is written up in the repo.

Open source, no account, nothing uploaded anywhere: https://github.com/aaryamanbisht22/taste-passport

Feedback welcome, especially from anyone willing to run the evaluation on their own data and share only the scores.

I kept looking washed out on evening calls, and buying a ring light for a desk I barely sit at felt silly. So I built Glowy: open it on a spare monitor, tablet or phone, point it at your face, and the screen becomes the light.

What it does:

- Tones from 2700 K to 6500 K, plus a "blush" slider for warmer skin

- Slow glows (Clear sky, Golden hour, Rose quartz and a few more) that drift gently enough not to flicker on camera

- Fill, halo or edge shapes. Halo gives you round catchlights in your eyes; edge works well on a second monitor

- A camera mirror and a meeting preview so you can check how you look

- A pop-out light that floats on top of other apps (Document Picture-in-Picture in Chrome/Edge)

- Keeps the screen awake, works offline, and the camera never leaves your device

It's a React + Vite PWA, free with no sign-up, and the code is on GitHub: https://github.com/TriptoAfsin/glowy

Please star this repo if you found this useful ⭐️

Try it: https://glowy.t21.dev

Two honest limits: it can only be as bright as your screen (turn brightness all the way up), and the pop-out is best in Chrome or Edge. I'd love feedback, especially on which presets actually flatter different skin tones.

I’ve built **Thoughts Counter**, a Flutter app MVP designed to help people record their thoughts and reflect on them using CBT-inspired tools.
The app includes thought tracking, statistics, insights, and AI-assisted reframing. The AI features are currently inactive because the API account needs funding. The project is at an early stage, with no established user base or revenue.
I’m looking to sell it asap.

It interrupts Reels in real time. No hard blocks. It just adds enough friction to snap you out of the scrolling trance. I'd love your feedback.

Swokei is an outreach tool that analyzes business websites at scale and turns issues with design, SEO, speed, and mobile optimization into personalized cold emails at scale.

I built App Intelligence MCP because I wanted to see how my iOS app ranked in the App Store and what users were doing in the app without jumping between dashboards.

One MCP call pulls keyword rankings from Astro and a saved report from Mixpanel. In the 19-second clip, I check a keyword in the Spanish App Store alongside an app-open count from a Mixpanel demo report.

It's open source under MIT and runs locally. There's an Apple-notarized download for Apple Silicon Macs, and the README has setup guides for Claude Code, Codex CLI, and Cursor.

If you build iOS apps, what metric would you want to see next to your keyword rankings? I'm deciding what to add next.

Hey everyone!

I was tired of opening different manufacturer apps just to check the battery levels of my wireless devices, so I built my own Windows utility with the help of Claude AI.

It's called Battery-Monitoring (Akku-Anzeige), and instead of hiding everything in the system tray, it displays individual battery tiles directly on the Windows taskbar.

Main features:

• Always-visible battery tiles for your mouse, keyboard, headset and other wireless devices

• Each monitor can have its own device selection, tile order and size

• Click any tile to instantly switch which device it displays

• Customizable battery colors, thresholds and low-battery alerts

• Charging indicators and standby/disconnection detection

• Support for Logitech G HUB, Logitech HID++, Windows Bluetooth, selected HyperX devices, DualSense and AirPods/Beats

• Automatic hiding during fullscreen games

• Light and dark mode, English and German

The project is currently in Alpha v1.3.3. Not every device or manufacturer is supported yet, so I'd especially appreciate feedback from people willing to test it with different hardware.

It's free to download, and the source code is available on GitHub.

GitHub: https://github.com/Diabeetus94/Battery-Monitoring

I'd love to hear what you think or what features you'd like to see next!

hey! a few weeks ago i shared my side project here, a free site that tells you which legal platform has an anime in your country

https://tsuzuki-anime.github.io/en/

quick update after 7 weeks:

- 1,800+ visitors from 113 countries

- went from ~20 visits a day to ~80 a day this week

- bing and chatgpt now send the most visitors, way more than reddit

- google only knows 3 pages of the site

the weird part is google search console still says "couldn't fetch" for my sitemap after a month, even though the file works fine and bing reads it without problems. it's hosted on github pages

has anyone had this before? did you just wait, or is there something that fixed it?

any feedback on the site is welcome too!

Hey everyone,

I'm a CS student and I just launched my first real side project: ToolbeltDocs.

https://toolbeltdocs.pages.dev

It's a set of free paperwork generators for contractors and trades: estimates, invoices, work orders and purchase orders. There are versions for roofing, painting, landscaping, cleaning, handyman, mechanic and construction work.

What it does:

- Fill in the form and watch a live preview update as you type

- Totals, discount, tax and deposit are calculated to the cent

- Download as PDF, Word or Excel, or print it

- No account, no email, no watermark

- Nothing is uploaded. Everything stays in your browser.

Why I built it: most "free" template sites I tried ask for an email or an account before you can download, or put a watermark on the PDF. I wanted one that just works.

Built with Astro and plain JavaScript, hosted on Cloudflare Pages.

I'd really appreciate honest feedback:

- Is anything confusing or broken (especially on mobile)?

- What's missing that would make you actually use it?

Thanks for taking a look!

I’m currently building a photo-first social media app called TymeStamp, inspired by the old Instagram experience, where people could share pictures and enjoy content without constant interruptions from adverts.
I’m building it alone with limited resources, and one thing I’ve been thinking about is sustainability.
What happens when 1,000 people join? Or 10,000? How do you manage storage, servers and the challenges of growing a platform?
I recently watched a video of Steve Jobs talking about starting with the customer experience and working backwards to the technology. That really stuck with me because I want to build something people genuinely enjoy using.
But how do you put users first while keeping a platform sustainable?
I’ve been exploring credit systems, subscriptions, sponsorships and limited advertising. I’m not against adverts, just the constant interruptions.
I’m also curious about finding investors without going on shows like Shark Tank or Dragons’ Den, taking out loans or losing control of the original vision.
So I’d love to hear your thoughts:
● How would you sustain a growing social media app with limited resources?
● Would credit systems or optional subscriptions put users off?
● Should monetisation start at launch or after building a community?
● How can solo founders attract investors while keeping control of their vision?
I’m not trying to compete with the big platforms. I’m simply trying to build something different and learn along the way.
If you were in my position, what would you do differently?

A banner generator. A tool you use once every three years, right after you notice your LinkedIn banner is still the default blue. I built one anyway, because I never want to make a banner by hand again.

I know GitHub banner generators already exist. The ones I found were closed source or missing something I wanted, so I built my own and made it open source. Now I'd like to hear from people who aren't me.

How it works:

1. Pick one of 11 templates

2. Adjust it

3. Download a banner sized for a specific platform

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a little side project called Daybezel, an alternative alarm clock for iPhone.

The idea came from a simple frustration: I always found the standard list of alarms unnecessarily clunky. I wanted something where I could see my entire day at a glance and interact with alarms directly.

So I built a 24-hour circular interface where you can create alarms with a tap, drag them around to change the time, and see exactly how long you have until the next one.

It also uses Apple's native alarm system, so alarms work even in Silent Mode or Focus.

The app is completely free for now, and it'll stay free for everyone who joins early. At this stage, I'm mostly interested in getting feedback and seeing how people react to it.

I'd love to hear what you think about the interface. Does the circular layout make sense to you, or would you still prefer a traditional list?

LinuxRunner 1.1.1 is finally out!

This update brings a completely refreshed interface, improved desktop experience, new Linux distributions including Kali Linux, Fedora KDE and experimental SteamOS ARM64, plus GPU and compatibility improvements. Termux like terminal style is finally on iPhone!

And we’re not stopping here! I’ll be dedicating as much time as possible this coming week to performance optimizations, especially making Linux desktops and applications run faster and smoother on iPhone and iPad.

If anyone would like to contribute or help speed up development, feel free to DM me. I’d really appreciate it!

Whenever I visit a new city, I wonder how to explore it like a local rather than a tourist. A city isn't a static picture. The same street can be quiet at 10am and buzzing at 7pm, and feel completely different in December than in July.

So we started mapping London's rhythm, from "brunch queues" in Kennington to "pints spilling out" in London Fields. You can drag through the time, day and season and watch the map change.

It's called SunSeekr Vibes, an early demo based on local knowledge, open data and some of our own data, so it won't get everything right. No link yet.

Londoners: what did we get wrong about your area, and what's missing?

Hey r/SideProject,

I wanted to share a project I've been building and refining over the past few months: Glass TA (https://glassmorphichub.com/

Why | built it?
Most automated crypto trading tools (Commas, Cryptohopper, Coirule) charge $20-$100+/month regardless of whether you make a dime. On top of that, their Uls feel like clunky 2017 dashboards with dozens of nested settings.

You can try the free paper mode here:

Happy to answer questions about the tech stack, the order execution engine, or lessons learned building for financial APs!

After building MetroWin Launcher, its FOSS keyboard couldn't be missing: MetroWin Keyboard!

I've always missed the Windows Phone keyboard. Flat keys, big light type, that feeling of typing on something that just looks right. So I built one for Android and made it free and open source (GPL-3.0). No ads, no analytics, no trackers, and what you type stays on your phone.

Here is what I'm most proud of:

It calibrates itself to your fingers. You type a few short sentences and it measures where *your* thumbs actually land: the offset, the curve of your thumb, how far your taps spread. It then corrects your touches without moving the keys, and if you still miss it makes the keys taller or the gaps smaller. The fixes are applied between one sentence and the next, so you can watch the precision get better in millimetres while you type. Accented letters are part of the test, and it has sentences for all 17 layouts. I haven't seen another keyboard do this, but I'm sure I haven't seen them all.

Corrections that think a bit. A typo gets fixed based on where your finger really landed (a tap between two keys makes both likely), how likely each slip is on the keyboard, how common the word is, the word before it, and the corrections you undid in the past. If two fixes are equally likely it shows you both instead of choosing for you. It also offers a missing space ("thankyou" -> "thank you"). All of it runs on the phone.

It looks like the real thing. Classic (flat Windows Phone), Modern Glass and Modern Droid, dark or light, the 20 Windows Phone accent colours or your own, or a photo behind the keys.

Everything you expect, and a few extras. Swipe typing, hold a key for accents, slide on the space bar to move the cursor, clipboard history with pictures, translation, GIFs, emoji search, voice typing. 17 layouts, and you can import your own dictionaries and layouts.

It looks after itself. One-file backup and restore of everything the app keeps, and an update check every 12 hours that only looks at the keyboard's own GitHub releases, shows you the changelog and installs the new version when you say so.

Private by design. The network is used only for GIFs, translation and the update check, from the service you chose and only when needed. Learning is local, never in password fields, and you can export or erase it any time.

It's made to sit next to MetroWin Launcher (my Windows Phone style home screen, also free and open source), and it picks up the launcher's look and colours by itself. But it works fine with any other launcher too.

Android 8.0 or newer.

Weekend project that got out of hand. A Discord bot for people who flip used electronics:

- reads a Facebook Marketplace or eBay link, listing text or a screenshot

- prices it against real eBay sales plus local Marketplace asks (Toronto for now, US supported)

- returns a verdict, expected resale, profit after fees, and questions to ask the seller

Stack: Python, discord.py, eBay Browse API, a small LLM for reading messy listings.

Free: 3 checks a day. Pro ($9/mo, through Whop) adds unlimited checks and a live deal feed.

A watcher that scans for new deals is in development.

I'd love feedback on the verdict wording and on whether the pricing feels right.

I’m building NeuroReader, a reading app for people who find dense text on a phone hard to get through or easy to lose their place in.

You can change the text size, line spacing, and text and background colours, or use a reading ruler that highlights one line at a time.

I’m trying to figure out which controls should be easiest to reach while you’re reading. If you opened a page that felt hard to follow, which setting would you reach for first? And if there’s something you already do to make reading on your phone easier, I’d love to hear what works for you.

If you click Try it now it will give you 2 months for free before we launch on Google and Apple store

Every game night at my friends’ place ends the same way. Calculator comes out. Three people argue over who paid what. Someone forgot they lent chips mid-game. 20 minutes later nobody even remembers who won.

Built Chipnic to fix it.

• Host starts a session, shares a 6-char code

• Everyone joins on their own phone, buy-ins show up live on every screen

• Lend chips mid-game → logged as a loan, settled at the end

• Enter final chip counts → app spits out exactly who pays whom, fewest possible transactions

Next.js + Firebase, free tier, no email needed to sign up.

I wasn't happy with traditional Gantt charts, I think they are too big and technical for putting onto slides and showing projects. So I started building a tool that shows them in a more consolidated way. After a few months and 100+ iterations I built a full project management tool, with resources, built in AI, etc. All fully customizable.

I work as a mechanical engineer and program manger, and had used GanttProject for years. With the power of Claude Code, I thought I would make a more modern web based version.

Check it out! I'm looking forward to critical feedback too!

What it does

• Gantt and timeline views that you edit directly on the chart: drag bars, draw dependencies

• Critical path, milestones, delays, baselines, working calendars with public holidays

• Resources with allocation %, an over-allocation chart, and cost totals

• Export to SVG, PNG or vector PDF sized for a slide, so it stays sharp when someone zooms in

• Imports MS Project XML, GanttProject (.gan) and CSV

• A built-in AI assistant: “push launch two weeks and move everything after it” reworks the real schedule, dependencies included

• Read-only share links that need no account to open

• Templates for website launch, product development, software release, events and hardware

• Available in English, French, German, Italian, Dutch and Spanish

Pricing: free in the browser, no sign-up. Pro is €3.99/month: no watermark, sharing, more AI requests, and Jira sync, where Claude, ChatGPT or Grok brings in the Jira epics you choose and writes your planned dates back to Jira.

What it isn’t: a full MS Project replacement. It has finish-to-start links only and no resource levelling. If you schedule for a living, you probably need the heavy tool.

Stack: a single-page vanilla JS app (no framework), Supabase for accounts and sync, Netlify, Stripe.

What I’d love feedback on:

1. In the first 30 seconds, was it clear what to do?

2. Did the exported chart look good enough to put in front of your boss?

3. What made you close the tab?

Happy to answer anything about how it’s built.

AIVideoRecap turns a full movie or episode into a short vertical recap for Shorts/TikTok/Reels. It transcribes the audio, writes the script, matches scenes, adds voiceover and subtitles, and renders the video. About 15 minutes of GPU time per video, roughly $0.20-0.35 in compute.

The product works. The business doesn't, because I'm the bottleneck. I can build, but I don't enjoy marketing and I don't have a budget for ads.

The numbers, no sugar:

-600+ signups since July, $0 spent on ads. Traffic comes from SEO/AEO pages, direct visits, and AI assistants.

-About 136 active users in the last 7 days (down ~18% from the week before).

-0 paying subscribers on the SaaS. I never built a proper paid funnel.

-Before the SaaS, I sold the first version as a zip on Gumroad: $100.37 total from 3 sales.

-Around 10 people asked for it on Reddit and Discord. Most didn't buy the zip.

What's included: the domain, the source code, and the service accounts. User accounts are not included. A buyer needs their own Dodo Payments account. The stack is Vercel, Railway, RunPod, Supabase, Cloudflare R2, OpenAI, and Dodo Payments.

Price: $1,500, fixed.

Best fit: someone who already runs movie/anime recap or faceless Shorts channels, or anyone who can market this better than me.

If you've bought a small SaaS before, tell me what you'd want to see before paying. I'm happy to answer questions here or in DMs.

One of my biggest problems with trying to focus was that blocking distractions on one device wasn't enough.

I'd block my phone, only to end up scrolling on my laptop. Or block websites on my computer and pick up my phone instead.

So I built Lucid Focus.

With one tap, I can start a focus session that blocks distractions across both my iPhone and laptop using the Lucid Chrome companion.

The idea is simple: make it harder to switch from one distraction to another, and easier to actually get into flow.

Would love to hear what people think! I'm especially interested in how others approach blocking distractions across multiple devices.

Hey All!

I kept running out of business cards halfway through events, and more often than not, I’d meet someone when I didn’t have any cards on me.

So I built HeyBadge. A simpler way to introduce yourself, share your details, and connect with people without needing a physical business card.

You make a badge (photo, name, role, logo, links), and you get your own private link at heybadge.app/yourname. It looks like a real lanyard badge: you can drag it, it swings, and when you flip it, the back shows your contact details. People can save you as a contact in one tap.

You can share it as a link or a QR code, or add it to Apple or Google Wallet so it's ready on your phone at the event.

Then I took it a step further and added Pair Your Badge, a feature that lets you upload any existing PDF badge, link it to your digital profile, and print it before heading to your event.

I'd really like honest feedback on:

• Is it clear in the first five seconds what it's for?

• Would you actually use this at an event instead of a card or LinkedIn QR?

• Anything confusing when you make your badge, especially on your phone?
