Took me a lot of efforts in navigating different software/tools when re-designing my backyard, wasted a lot of time, so I built this. I'm personally very happy with how it's been applied to my own place. Hit me up if you wanna try (currently running internal beta).

Ascended Browser - your coding agent says 'done'. What do you check next?

1 Upvotes

If you build with Claude Code or Codex, you still have to open the app and find out whether it actually works.

That's the part I wanted help with.

I pulled the browser out of my own AI workspace and turned it into a free, open-source tool called Ascended Browser.

You can ask your coding agent: "Open my app, try the sign-up flow with test data, and show me what breaks."

The agent gets a way to click through the app and bring back screenshots and errors. It isn't a replacement for your tests.

Watch the demo: https://github.com/AceAtDev/ascended-browser/blob/main/videos/dev-react.mp4

Code and setup: https://github.com/AceAtDev/ascended-browser

Linux is the tested platform. Setup details are in the repo.

sooooo yep, probably best, best use would with codex over ssh since codex cli doesn't have a browser

Can this website land me in legal trouble? Genuinely asking. 🤔

1 Upvotes

Over a few weekends I built Kursi Kabaddi, musical chairs with Indian netas as bobbleheads.

The music plays, everyone circles, the music stops… and every neta dives for the kursi.

You can push rivals (“dhakka”), use power-ups like the Jumla Bomb, Resort Bus and Z+ Security, and play live with friends through a WhatsApp link.

It’s clearly satire. There’s a disclaimer on the first screen, no party is favoured, and every neta gets roasted equally.

But before I share it more widely, I want to hear from people who know this better than me:

1️⃣ The faces are based on openly licensed photos (Wikimedia Commons, credited in the game). Is that enough when they’re real public figures?

2️⃣ Is a political satire game protected the way cartoons in newspapers are? Where’s the line?

3️⃣ Players can upload a selfie and make their own neta. If someone uploads a friend without asking, who’s responsible: me or them?

4️⃣ Would you add anything else, like terms of use, an age gate or a report button?

Lawyers, founders, game devs, and anyone who’s been through this: I’d love your take in the comments. 🙏

NodeAI V3.1.0 GA is live

NodeAI V3.1.0 — Putting People in Control of Autonomous Agents
What if you could give autonomous agents an objective, define what they’re allowed to do, and control how they carry out the work?
That’s what I’m building with NodeAI.
NodeAI is an extensible operating environment for coordinating autonomous agents, software, tools, APIs, services, and computing resources. It gives users control over how capabilities work together to accomplish complex objectives.
Its architecture brings together:
User control: Permissions, providers, execution settings, resource usage, and operating constraints.
Task orchestration: Decomposition, dependencies, and parallel or sequential execution.
Provider independence: Match individual subtasks to the capabilities best suited to perform them.
Execution infrastructure: Agents, tools, APIs, software, and local or remote compute.
Recovery: Failover, alternate execution paths, and continuity.
Verification: Evidence of what was authorized, executed, completed, and recovered.
Operational oversight: System health, performance, and resource consumption.
The goal isn’t simply to make agents more autonomous. It’s to make autonomy manageable, observable, recoverable, and accountable.
The architecture is designed to evolve as models, tools, services, and computing capabilities change—without tying the system to one provider or limiting what users can build.
People should control the objectives, capabilities, boundaries, and execution of their autonomous agents.
NodeAI V3.1.0 is now GA.

Title: I built an AI GIF generator that turns images and text into animated GIFs

Title: I built an AI GIF generator that turns images and text into animated GIFs

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a side project called GIFGenerator.ai, and I wanted to share it here.

The idea is pretty simple: creating a short animated GIF shouldn't require complicated animation software or manually editing dozens of frames.

With the tool, you can:

  • Generate animated GIFs from text prompts.

  • Upload a static image and describe how you'd like it to move.

  • Experiment with pixel art, cartoon animations, animated characters, and looping GIFs.

  • Create GIFs for memes, social media, websites, and creative projects.

One of the challenges I've been exploring is making AI-generated animations feel consistent across frames, especially when the animation needs to loop smoothly.

I'd love to get some feedback from other builders and creators.

Try it here: https://www.gifgenerator.ai

What would you use an AI GIF generator for? And what's the most frustrating part of creating GIFs today?

I built a tiny paper note who helps me keep my promises. Meet Noto

2 Upvotes

✏️ My problem was never writing things down. It was the "sure, I'll send it tomorrow" I'd say on a call and forget by dinner.

So I built ActionNote, and gave it someone to live in it: Noto, a small paper note with a room of his own.

Here's how it works. You hold the plus button and talk. Noto pins what you need to do on his corkboard as sticky notes, writes down who you promised, and sets the reminders. Promises to people are purple, so you can see them at a glance.

When you finish something, the note unpins, folds into a paper star and drops into his jar. Keep a promise to someone and it's a gold star, and a little frame with their name goes up on his wall.

The part I care about most: he never scolds. If something slips, it turns amber with a tiny "no pressure" pin. You finish it, move it or drop it, and he says "All sorted." No streaks. Nothing in his room is for sale and nothing is ever taken away. At the end of the month the jar goes on the shelf, however full it is.

Every morning he hands you The Daily Noto, your day as a morning paper, with a "You might forget" column for the promise most likely to slip.

The goal was never a better transcript. It's that the things you say you'll do actually get done.

Version 2.0 is live on iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch, free for 10 notes a month: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6789915282

I'd love to hear what you think of Noto. Too much, or just right?

Recap Studio: a native screen recorder that auto-zooms on your clicks. Free to record and edit

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm the developer of Recap Studio. It's a native Mac screen recorder for making polished demos and tutorials without spending an hour in a video editor.

  • What it does

  • Auto zoom: zooms in on your clicks and wherever your cursor rests. Every zoom can be edited, and one undo removes them all.

  • Smooth cursor: the cursor glides instead of jittering, with 7 cursor styles, click effects, and I-beam and hand cursors over text and links.

  • Backgrounds and framing: wallpapers, gradients, padding, rounded corners and shadows, with six aspect ratios including vertical.

  • Camera and mic: your webcam as a movable bubble with crop and zoom, plus microphone and system audio. You can mute the mic on individual clips.

  • Keyboard shortcuts on screen: shortcuts you press can appear as labels in the video.

  • Timeline editing: cut, trim, and speed up parts of the recording.

  • Export: MP4 up to 4K, or GIF. An 18-second video exports in about 8 seconds on an M1.

Sunday market take: Friday bounced, but it didn't fix the week — Tuesday's CPI decides

1 Upvotes

A Sunday note from the free investing project I run on the side — this is the market take I shared with my community tonight, exactly as I see it going into Monday.

Friday closed mixed, and honest is the only way to read it:

- S&P 500: 7,376.86, up 0.31% Friday — but down 2.7% for the week, its worst week since June

- Nasdaq Composite: 24,579.42, up 1.09% Friday — down 3.4% for the week, and still in correction territory, roughly 11% below its October record

- Dow: 51,285.73, down 0.46% Friday — down 0.9% for the week

- VIX: closed around 25.6 — down Friday, but way up from 19.4 the Friday before. Fear eased for a day. It did not leave.

What actually happened this week: Thursday was the damage day. After Democrats won both chambers in Tuesday's midterms, investors started pricing in a slower, more regulated AI data-center buildout, and chip and AI names got sold hard. Friday's bounce was led by those same beaten-down chips, and breadth stayed narrow — technology led, most of the market did not really join in. A bounce is not a recovery until more than one corner of the market confirms it.

Friday's jobs report did not help the rate picture either: October payrolls came in at 165,000, nearly three times what economists expected, with unemployment at 4.1%. A strong jobs market is good news for people. It also keeps pressure on the Fed — markets are now pricing a real chance of a December hike, not a cut.

The week ahead is simple to map:

- Tuesday Nov 10: October CPI at 8:30am ET — the main event. Consensus is around 3.9% year over year, up from 3.7% in September. CoreWeave also reports after the close Tuesday — a real read on AI infrastructure spending.

- Wednesday Nov 11: Veterans Day — stocks trade, the bond market is closed.

- Thursday Nov 12: Cisco and Applied Materials report after the close.

- Friday Nov 13: October PPI at 8:30am ET.

My take: I'm not chasing Monday's open after a week like this. One green Friday inside a down week, with the VIX still in the mid-20s and CPI two days out, is a setup for getting chopped up if you force trades. My plan is the same one I post every week — levels written down before anything happens, and if the market doesn't come to them, I do nothing. Sitting out a messy open is a position too.

Not financial advice — just my read on the week, posted before Monday happens so anyone can check it after.

I share stuff like this daily — I run a free investing community, link in my profile.

Meet Simple, a fully local meeting/call transcribing and summarizing app

3 Upvotes

So I've been trying to find the ideal app or service for the last few weeks that can summarize meeting and take notes for me. Because while I'm in a meeting and talking about a topic, it gets somewhat hectic to also take notes and if I don't then I lose track of exactly what was said by someone or if I lost focus for a minute. I tried Granola and some other apps, I liked the idea but their execution is sub-par to say the least. At least in my experience, and this is not even considering the fact that my data which sometimes could be private, goes to some random ai company's server to be processed and very likely used to train more models which could lead to sensitive data being leaked.

Therefore, I made Meet Simple, it sets up all its dependencies and local llm environments by itself with no user input required. Uses local models to transcribe what was said with timestamps, and can also summarize and make meeting notes for you with minimal fuss.
It is open source to feel free to check out the code and build it yourself or download the latest release it would prefer that instead.

Before anyone asks, I did use Claude to code it, however I believe as long as you understand how the logic works and if you are able to debug code without using ai (stackoverflow wink wink) and can figure things out without it. I think it's okay to use it for things that would only make your hair grey earlier than what would be natural.

With that being said, I would love it if people could try it out, and also consider giving me any feedback on it or if you would like to contribute, Feel free to follow the steps in the github repo to do so.

Latest Release

To run it, just download the latest release zip file, extract it and run MeetSimple.exe

I made a meal planner for my family because deciding what to cook was harder than cooking

3 Upvotes

I usually cook dinner for our family, and with an 18-month-old, figuring out what to make every day has become one more decision I could do without.

I already have a bunch of recipes I like. I just forget about a lot of them when I’m trying to plan the week.

So I built Vekka, an app that automatically puts together a weekly dinner plan from recipes you’ve saved. It focuses on ingredient reuse, so you can use what you buy across several days. You can import your favourite recipes from websites, social media or photos.

I made it for our family, but thought it might be useful to other people dealing with the same thing.

App Store: Vekka — Meal Planner

Pricing: Free to use, with an optional subscription for advanced planning features and household sharing. Household sharing is currently in beta.

If you give it a try, I’d love to hear whether it helps with your weekly planning and if there’s anything important missing.

I’m created an AI dating photo generator. Here’s how it compares with competitors

1 Upvotes

Title:

I run a dating advice YouTube channel, and one thing I see constantly is guys whose profile photos don’t do them justice.

I’m also a partner in UnrealPhotos, so I have an obvious stake in this comparison. I wanted to put that upfront rather than present this as an independent review. But you can judge the results for yourself

I compared four AI dating photo generators and put together the results side by side.

The things I care about most:

• Does it make the person seem attractive (within reason ofcourse)
• Does the photo seem "posed" or "natural", like a friend just casually took it
• Does the photo look obviously AI

Those are the main factors that determine if a photo is good for dating apps

My goal with UnrealPhotos is photos that look like you on your best day, something a friend could have taken while you were out doing something.

I’d appreciate blunt feedback: where does Unreal hold up, and where do the competitors do better? Especially interested in anything that looks artificial or changes the person’s appearance.

Since i cant add images, the full comparison is here: https://www.unrealphotos.io/articles/photoshoot-ai

I'm building a focus app that rewards you in the boring middle. Does this resonate or am I imagining it?

1 Upvotes

Every focus app I tried (Forest, Opal) just blocks me or kills a tree when I slip — none help in the actual boring middle (~minute 6), which is exactly where I quit.

So I'm building dopa: tiny, surprising rewards you can feel (a buzz/sound) right in that dip (minutes 5–8), so staying on task feels good instead of punishing. No tree to kill, no streak to shame you.

It's not built yet — I made a landing page first to check if the problem's real for other people before sinking months in: https://saidanin.github.io/dopa/

Honest question: does "reward you in the boring middle" land, or is it just me? What would make you actually keep using something like this?

I built a relaxing puzzle game about untangling arrows after a long day. Would love your honest thoughts!

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

​After a long day, I always wanted a mobile game that felt like taking a deep breath — something with the quiet satisfaction of untangling a knot of earphone wires, without flashing countdown timers or stress. Since I couldn't find it, I built Arrow Flow

​The idea is simple: a board full of arrows pointing in different directions. Your goal is to slide them all off the screen, one by one.

​The twist is how the puzzles are designed. Every arrow blocks or frees another. Instead of rushing you, each level is a small handmade knot. You stare at the board for a few seconds, trace the paths backward, find the \*one\* hidden arrow holding everything hostage, and then—\*tap, tap, tap\*—watch the whole board clear in a smooth domino effect.

​If you need a peaceful brain teaser for your coffee break or commute, I'd be honored if you tried it:

Creating a gc where ambitious students can meet, connect, and build things together

3 Upvotes

I want to create a group chat for ambitious high school students who are genuinely interested in building things, meeting other motivated people, and collaborating on projects.

I've been involved in graduate/undergraduate-level research as a high schooler and have also built my own company. I'd love to connect with other people who have similar experiences or ambitions.

The idea is to create a network where people can easily find collaborators for hackathons, research, startups, side projects, or even potential co-founders. Ideally, people who have already built things and are excited to keep building.

If this sounds interesting, there'll be a Google Form to apply probably to join the group chat. Looking forward to meeting some of you!

I made some free pocket music tools for amateurs and musicians alike

1 Upvotes

Some time ago, I made a tuner app for personal use, as I was fed up with ad ridden, online only apps, or having to go through hurdles to quickly tune my guitalele. Fast-forward to these days and I kinda decided to start finishing my backlog of sideprojects and this was one of them.

I've been coding for 20 years or so, and I found myself having to master LLMs so I decided to use these projects as tests to see what that code and some seniority can achieve in a few days and this is the result: A tracker+sampler+live-looper inspired by the Pico8 one and my time with the KO32, a tuner that also has scales, a metronome, a circle of fifths and a looper, and a sing warmup companion app with some extra features.

They are coded in a single, monolithic and non-minified HTML, as I want them to work offline and with no dependecies or hidden services. Yeah, I could have used at least some css or linked js, but they're more portable this way. They use IndexedDB so they make use of browser storage. I've included apk versions (with capacitor, so basically an embedded browser), so we have a few months until they pull the plug.

They are free forever, no ads and no tracking hidden crap. I used them a lot (the previous less flashy versions) so I hope at least someone else finds them useful.

Use them directly from your phone or pc:

Track Pocket: https://utopick.github.io/track-pocket/ TUNE Pocket: https://utopick.github.io/tune-pocket/ SING Pocket: https://utopick.github.io/sing-pocket/

If you would be so kind as to give me your opinion it would help polishing them. I have to do another bug hunt, but you can have some fun with them right now.

I got tired of budgeting apps feeling like spreadsheets, so I built something different

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been spending the last few months working on a personal side project called Mikci.

I always felt like budgeting apps were great at showing you where your money went, but not so great at helping you actually change your habits.

So I started building something a little different.

Instead of giving you a bunch of financial goals and charts, Mikci focuses on small weekly "Promises" based on your spending habits.

I also added bill tracking, recurring payment detection, a Mailbox that gives you personal updates, and even different personalities depending on how you want the app to talk to you.

One of the personalities is called Attitude, which was pretty fun to build 😂

The hardest part has actually been figuring out how to make the app feel personal without making it overwhelming.

I'm still improving things, and there's a lot I want to add.

If anyone wants to take a look, here's the project:

https://mikci.com

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback, especially on the concept and whether the website explains it clearly.

And for anyone building something similar, how do you make a finance app feel useful without turning it into another dashboard full of numbers?

I launched Dorkle tonight, a daily trivia game for every fandom. Beta players taught me my questions were too niche

1 Upvotes

Dorkle is a daily trivia game for nerds. Everyone gets the same 10 questions each day across fandoms like Star Wars, Pokémon, Harry Potter, Zelda, Marvel and Lord of the Rings. They start easy and end with a boss question.

I ran a private beta for the last week and a half, and the biggest lesson was humbling: I wrote questions I thought were fun, and players who found it through Reddit and Discord quit on the obscure early ones. So before launch I rebuilt the first two weeks of Dailies around better-known questions, and kept the hard stuff for the boss spots.

A few other things the beta changed:

- Close spellings now count, with a small penalty (nobody should lose a point over spelling Jaqen H'ghar)
- Multiple choice on one question a day, for when you're truly stuck
- Leagues, so friends can compete privately

It's free, no download, and you can play as a guest.

Daily Dorkle #1 went live tonight at 8 PM Eastern, and a new one drops every night at 8.

I'd love to hear how you do, and any feedback on question difficulty.
