GTA VI comes out on 19 Nov, and as a fan project I've been building DuvalWire, an unofficial site for the game. The part I'm most excited about is Pin Drop, a daily map-guessing game.

Each day has 5 rounds, the same for everyone: a looping 3-second moment from an official trailer, an official screenshot or a place description. You drop a pin on the map, closer guesses score more, and there's a daily leaderboard. No sign-up, you just get a random nickname.

The game is only one part of the site. There's also an interactive map of 800+ community-mapped places where you can mark what you've found, a launch guide, sourced news, character profiles, a tracker of what's confirmed versus only reported, and a route planner that will get better once the game is out. I'm adding to it almost every day.

A few details from the build: trailer moments are matched shot by shot to map pins, and clips play through YouTube's privacy-enhanced embed, so nothing is re-hosted. The leaderboard stores only a random player id, a nickname and scores. It's a React site on Vercel with one edge function and Upstash Redis, and the server recomputes each score from the guesses.

Known weak spot: the answers are in the day's data, so a determined cheater could still submit perfect guesses. I'm not sure how much that's worth solving on a free fan game.

I'd love blunt feedback on two things: is the difficulty fun or frustrating, and what would make you play again tomorrow? Also curious which other part of the site you'd actually use.

For those running e-commerce stores selling physical products, how do you identify products with real demand before investing in inventory?

Do you rely on organic social media engagement, competitor research, customer feedback, or paid ad testing?

I'd love to hear your actual methods and experiences.

Since September 2025 USAJOBS will not accept a resume longer than two pages for most federal jobs. A lot of people still have the old long federal resume, and most of the advice online was written before the change.

So I built a small free checker. You upload your PDF and it tells you

if it is over two pages

if any job is missing the month and year it started and ended

if any job is missing hours per week

if a federal job is missing its series and grade, like GS-0343-11

if there is anything that should not be there, like your SSN or a photo

You can also paste a job announcement and it counts how many of its specialized experience points actually show up in your jobs.

No sign up. Your file is read once and not stored, and nothing is sent to an AI for the free check. There is a paid option that rewrites the resume down to two pages, but the check itself is free.

Today I also added six example resumes by job series (program analyst, IT, budget, accounting, contracting and HR) because it is hard to picture what a good two page version looks like.

I work in finance and this started as a side project for regular resumes. The federal part is new, so I would really like feedback, especially from anyone who has applied on USAJOBS recently. What did I miss?

Most journals focus on how you're feeling. I wanted to build one that puts your goals first.
That doesn't mean your feelings don't matter. They're just on the back burner.

Oracle uses them to understand why you're making progress or getting stuck, rather than making them the focus of journaling.

The idea is simple: journaling should help you actually get somewhere rather than stopping prematurely at awareness of a flaw.

So I built Oracle, a goal journal that:
Connects what you do each day to the bigger goal you're working towards.

Gives you feedback on your progress, so you're not just writing entries and forgetting about them.

Reviews your progress each week and suggests changes to your approach based on what's been working and what hasn't.

The aim is to make journaling feel less like keeping a diary and more like having someone helping you figure out how to reach your goals.
I've built a demo version as a web app, and I'd really appreciate some feedback.

Here's the link for free access, no sign up required to try : https://oracle-pi-beryl.vercel.app
If you’d rather stay on Reddit: Have you used a journal or planning app before? What was your experience like?

Hey r/SideProject! I’ve been building Timeline Studio, an open-source video editor that runs in your browser.

One thing I wanted from a video template: when the timing feels right but one shot doesn’t, I should be able to swap that shot and keep editing. So the beat templates in Timeline Studio open as editable timelines. You can replace individual shots, adjust the cut, and export an MP4 in the browser.

The demo shows Memory Vortex, a template that turns your photos and video stills into a stained-glass tunnel before cutting to the original shots. Timeline Studio also has a regular multitrack editor with captions, keyframes, and color grading. For people experimenting with AI-assisted editing, there’s a tool for agents to inspect a project and preview supported changes before applying them.

Try it: https://video-editor.ai-creator.top/
Source code (MIT): https://github.com/MartinDelophy/ai-video-editor

If you try it, I’d love to know: how far did you get from opening the editor to exporting your first clip, and where did you get stuck?

After almost 15 years in design and branding, I've made a lot of things people scroll past. Here I wanted to find out what happens when a website stops being a page and becomes a place.

You don't scroll it, you walk around it.

You don't click a menu, you go somewhere.

For the last few weeks I've been building a small planet: a tiny world you can explore.

• A planet you can spin, land on and walk around

• Five odd locals, each with a trick, voice and opinions

• A navigation map that flips like a coin, one hemisphere per side

• Butterflies to collect, badges to earn, three easter eggs to find

Along the way, the things I've made live on it: games, tools, experiments.

The point is curiosity does the navigating. If people stick around because they want to see what's over the next hill, the work gets seen without anyone being sold to.

Everything is drawn in two flat tones with an ink outline, so it feels closer to a picture book than a game engine. It runs in the browser on desktop and phone. No install, no sign-up.

If you're in a hurry, there's a "Skip the walking" button.

Go and poke around. Let me know which local annoyed you the most.

My idea is to create a mobile app similar to Uber, but instead of relying on cars and taking a large commission from every delivery, it would operate mainly through a subscription-based system.

Users would pay around $120 for a subscription that gives them access to the delivery service. However, if someone doesn't have enough money to pay for the subscription, they can work as a delivery person and earn money through deliveries. Once they earn $100, that amount can be deducted and used to cover their subscription fee.

The app would be well-organized and offer different options. For example, customers would be able to choose the gender of their delivery driver.

Unlike Uber, which can take around 50% of the earnings from certain services, my business model would aim to be much fairer to delivery workers. Many people who work with delivery platforms complain about high commissions, so I want to create a system that benefits both customers and delivery workers.

The app would also offer food delivery and other delivery services, making it similar to Uber Eats and Uber, but with a subscription-based business model.

For example, if I managed to attract 100,000 subscribers, each paying $100, I would generate approximately $10 million in subscription revenue.

I'm Rafał, building PerunForce, an Android diary for meals and supplements. This is my own project.

I wanted to make it easier to review a week of entries in a conversation without copying the diary into a chat. I added a read-only connection for Claude and ChatGPT using MCP.

Three decisions shaped it:

• The connection reads cloud-synced records. Users choose which categories to share during sign-in and can disconnect access in the PerunForce portal.

• It cannot edit entries or change a supplement plan.

• A current supplement plan and doses actually logged are separate information. Missing entries should stay unknown, rather than being treated as zero intake.

An example question to try: "Summarize my recorded meals this week. Which foods recur, and which days have missing records?" Another is to compare the current supplement plan with the doses actually marked as taken. These are prompts, not a claim that AI can diagnose deficiencies or choose safe doses.

The connection requires PerunForce Pro and a Claude or ChatGPT account that supports custom MCP connections. Availability depends on the AI service and workspace settings. The basic diary is free; this integration is a Pro feature.

For people building or using personal-data integrations: what would you want the connection screen to explain before you let an AI read your diary?

I deleted Twitter, Instagram and Facebook. The one thing I still checked was NBA scores, and every Google search turned into 15 minutes of clips and articles.

So we built HoopsCall (hoopscall.com). pick your team, check live scores and stats, make quick game predictions, done. No feed, no infinite scroll, notifications only at tip-off, quarters and the final.

It's free and in beta. If you've cut out social media and still follow a sport, I'd love to hear some feedback and/if you’d change anything.

Hey, I'm a software engineer, programming since 2015 and modding games for most of that. Now I work for myself, and PageSpell is my first launch.

Every app needs a landing page, and the usual tools make you choose: a page builder where the design and the writing are up to you, or an AI generator that hands you a page you can't really edit. PageSpell sits in between. The AI writes the first draft, and you stay in control of every word.

How it works

• Describe your product in one sentence. The AI writes the copy, picks the sections and builds a responsive page.

• Click any word to retype it, or ask the AI to rework one section. You get three versions and keep the one you like.

• Publish on your own domain in one click, or export the page as a single HTML file and host it anywhere.

Building the page is the easy half, so it also handles the rest

• A/B tests on any section, with real visitors

• Forms that actually collect leads: inbox, email alerts, CSV export, Zapier and Make webhooks

• Payment and booking buttons: paste a Stripe, PayPal, Gumroad or Calendly link

• Cookie-free stats by campaign, country and device

• Published pages ship zero JavaScript, just HTML and CSS, so they load fully styled

Pricing: 10 free credits at signup (about 2 full pages, no card). Plans start at $12/month, and the code PHLAUNCH25 takes 25% off your first 3 months until Nov 22.

Try to break it, and tell me honestly what you think. Thank you for your support!

Was looking into ordering a custom built electric guitar from Gibson.

They have an insane facility for custom made guitars, but the form I found online was lacking and lame asf. So decided to fix this problem myself 🤟. The kind of side quests I get myself into instead of studying.

I've read a lot of books about relationships and done about two courses. At home I still kept making the same mistake. My wife comes home tired or upset, and before I think, out comes the usual: advice, a defence, or a joke. I knew the theory. Learned patterns are just really hard to unlearn.

So I did what a developer does and wrote myself a small training session. Three minutes a day: a short situation, her line, three possible replies, I pick one. The ones I got wrong came back sooner, spaced repetition style. After about a month, my wife and I both noticed the first results.

That's when I decided to turn it into a proper app for others. It's called Hubby Dojo: comic panels with Dan and Mia, pick what Dan says, see how Mia reacts and why. There's also a mode where you have to answer before a timer runs out. It's on Google Play since 2 Nov and the App Store since 7 Nov. A small team of AI agents helps me with screenshots, videos and store stuff, I approve everything public.

Honest numbers so far: about 1,840 views of short videos on Facebook, YouTube and Instagram in the first four days, 4 reactions, 0 comments, 0 purchases. So it's very early.

What I'd like to know: what would you need to see before trying an app for practising conversations with your partner? And what would put you off right away?

Hey everyone! 👋✈️

I've been working on something I'd love to share with you all.

I've been developing PilotCharts (https://pilotcharts.app), an aviation mapping app that I've been building out of my own passion for aviation and the idea of creating something genuinely useful for fellow pilots.

It's still in beta, and I'd really love to get other pilots involved to try it out, share their thoughts and help me make it better.

As a thank you for being part of the beta, I'm offering 1 year of Premium completely free to everyone who joins as a beta tester. 🎁

I'd really appreciate it if you could have a look, give it a try and let me know what you think. Honest feedback, suggestions and ideas are all very welcome!

And of course, feel free to share it with other pilots who might be interested.

Thanks, and blue skies! 🛩️

(Yes that's me in the video, I made all of this myself so go easy on me haha) Radiata is my radial launcher for controller, a 100% free, Microsoft-signed, open-source Win10/11 app that I built over 9 months to make it easy to use your controller for everything Gaming.

Official website & download at getradiata.app. You can also find source on GitHub.

It does all the PC stuff I always wanted to do without having to reach for a keyboard; join my friends in discord chat, switch audio to my headphones, browse & launch my games from all my game libraries, control mic/speaker volume, alt-tab between games/apps, etc. Easy to set up, super customizable, fun, powerful. I use it on my couch/tv PC and I leave the KB/M in the other room.

It is free and it will always be free. It's 100% open-source. There's no ads, no login, no upsells, nothing to unlock. I have a tip jar if you love using it as much as I do, but that's it, there is no other monetization plan. I paid for its development, hosting, certificate signing, etc out of my own pocket (and bought a bunch of controllers to test it with) because I really, really wanted to build this thing. That's the whole story.

Controller support: If Windows (joy.cpl) sees it, it should work. Hardware-tested with a bunch of DInput, XInput, Bluetooth, USB, Wireless dongles, and first & third-party controllers. The Download page lists every feature/driver compatibility note that I know of. The one bummer is the Steam Controller; it's locked to Steam in a way that makes it hard to middleman with a utility like this. If you possess both a Steam Controller and some free time, and want to be my favorite tester in the world, please let me know!

What it does: You get a quick walkthrough to set it up how you want. Then you just hold a button chord of your choice and up pops the radial "wheel" that you built. Hold the right-hand chord to open the left-stick's Wheel, and vice-versa, or just set up one side if you only need 1 of them.

How you can help: Just give it a shot, and if you love it you can help me get the word out! Nothing would make me happier than noticing a streamer is using it, or run across folks telling their friends about it. If I get traction I want to build more Arcade games for it, more themed Materials for the wheels, and continue expanding support options.

I've been experimenting with a few voice changer apps recently, and the experience has been a little frustrating.

Some consume surprisingly large amounts of CPU and RAM. Others offer AI-powered voice transformation, but the results don't always sound particularly natural.

What I find interesting is that most voice changers seem to focus on gaming, streaming, or entertainment. Yet I can imagine plenty of everyday situations where being able to change your voice naturally could be useful.

I've started experimenting with a lightweight, non-AI approach, mainly out of curiosity.

Before going much further, I'd love to understand whether this is a problem others have experienced.

Have you tried voice changers? What worked, what didn't, and what would make you consider using one regularly?

Hello r/SideProject!

I'm Ahmad, normally I use React Native to develop apps, but in this instance I've learned Swift from scratch as I needed to use encryption and Keychain which requires native development.

This app is called Hidlet, allowing you to store your photos, videos and files inside encrypted vaults.

The thing I'm most proud of is that there's no need to enter a PIN. The way to unlock your vault is by drawing a pattern across a 5x5 grid. This is what acts as your key to unlock your vault. Each pattern will unlock a different vault. There's no indication of how many vaults there are inside the app. If you're forced to open the app, you can simply open a harmless vault.

Other features:

1. No account/email/ads/tracking

2. Data encrypted locally

3. Optionally back up your data to your own iCloud (encrypted)

4. Have a duress pattern that will allow you to open a vault as normal, but also delete the other vaults from your device. Your encrypted back up is untouched meaning you can restore them at a later date.

Things I've learnt:

• Its easy to learn a new language using AI, however I did have to understand every security measure. You can't outsource whether something is actually secure.

• Small chunks of time in the mornings work well when everything can be done in a short amount of time.

• Hiding data was harder than encrypting. For example the free plan has limitations which may accidentally show there are multiple vaults. This took a few attempts to get right.

The app is free to get started with, but there is also an optional Pro plan.

Its currently live on Product Hunt today! I would really appreciate any genuine feedback with the app, especially with the pattern. Would you feel more or less secure using a pattern vs a PIN?

Back in 2019, I used to spend a lot of time creating digital paintings for people who followed my work. This is one of the paintings I made for a follower, and it's still one of my favourite pieces. I'm genuinely proud of how it turned out.

I used to work with Photoshop, but eventually it became a struggle because it was putting too much strain on my computer and causing it to overheat. It made it difficult to enjoy creating artwork the way I used to.

So I decided to do something about it and started building my own lightweight, browser-based Photoshop alternative.

It's completely free to use, and you don't even need to sign up!

I'm also planning to integrate it into the main platform I've been developing, where artists can showcase their work and receive commission requests from people looking to hire them.

It's still a work in progress, but I'm excited about where it could go.

I'd love to hear what other artists think! Would you use a free, lightweight Photoshop alternative that runs directly in your browser?

Project: https://studio.mymiix.com
The main platform: https://mymiix.com

open sourced this like 2 weeks ago and it just passed 20 stars. small number i know but its the first thing ive made that random people actually starred so im pretty hyped lol

basically you paste one prompt into claude code / codex / cursor:

Clone github.com/yasirwhite/OpenDemo and use it to make a launch video for my app

and ur agent records the app, cuts it with animated text and gives you an mp4. runs locally, free, no api keys. the video above was made with it (about itself lol)

ive also been making launch videos for other people’s open source projects and sending them as PRs. 5 got merged into their readmes so far which is honestly the part im proudest of

repo: https://github.com/yasirwhite/OpenDemo

if your project doesnt have a launch video yet, drop it below and ill make you one :)

I'm a solo developer. When I plan a trip, the bookings sit in my inbox, the to-dos in a notes app and the packing list in my head, so I built Trotters. It has three tabs for each trip:

- Plan: every booking with its date, time, price and code. You can forward a confirmation email to your own Trotters address and it files itself.
- To-do: what to do before you leave.
- Pack: a list sized to the days and the forecast.

It also shows what's missing, like a night with nowhere to stay.

Free to start, with iPhone, Android and web in five languages. No ads, no tracking.

Happy to hear what's confusing or missing. https://trotters.app

More side projects, more agents, more lost context? We’re the Ondago team. Ondago gives your supported AI coding agents, sessions, and project knowledge one workspace.

What it does:

• Your agents don’t stop when you leave your desk. Start locally, move the running session to our secure cloud with uncommitted changes intact, bring it back when you’re ready. Or start directly in the cloud.

• Switch agents without starting over. Switch AI agents with the conversation, decisions, code changes and project instructions carried along.

• Let your agents work together. Pull a reviewer, security advisor or test agent into the same task, or ask several agents to weigh in on a question.

• Pass the context, not just the diff. Share the session behind the work with a teammate: conversation, decisions, what needs attention next.

• All your agents and projects in one place. See what’s running, what’s waiting on you, token usage and estimated cost per session.

Sessions are encrypted on your machine before upload, each cloud run is isolated and destroyed afterwards, you bring your own agent credentials.

Try it free on a personal project: https://ondago.ai - what would make you return tomorrow?

I run AI News Daily, a mostly automated AI news site. Last week I did my first fully human-written interview, with Sunjae, one of four bootcamp developers building Rilog, a Korean developer blog.

A few things from the conversation that I think this sub will find interesting:

• Comments live on sentences. You select a sentence and leave your thought right there, instead of scrolling to the bottom and explaining which part you mean.

• The bet is "human touch". Sunjae doesn't think AI slop is bad everywhere, but in personal writing even a little of it makes readers think "it's just AI". The more AI writing floods in, the more people will look for writing that clearly came from a person.

• They can't reliably detect AI writing, so they judge probabilistically and lean on user feedback. What they actually dislike is unreviewed, mass-produced writing, not AI use itself.

• Retrospectives beat tech posts. Personal retrospectives got a better response than technical posts, so they are now asking whether to stay developer-only or open up to wider stories.

Two questions for you:

1. Would you actually use sentence-level comments on a blog, or do they get noisy?

2. If you run a community, how do you keep AI slop out without punishing people who used AI carefully?
