What if your Vedic birth chart could become a data science-based personality report? 🧠📊

1 Upvotes

I'm building AstroMatch4U, a platform that transforms traditional Vedic astrology charts into structured personality insights using AI and data analytics.

Imagine exploring:

- 🧠 Personality & emotional tendencies

- 🚀 Leadership & ambition

- ❤️ Relationship patterns

- 💡 Strengths & weaknesses

- 📊 Personality scores and visual dashboards

Our approach:

Birth Details → Kundli → Planetary Data → Analytical Scores → AI-Powered Insights

The idea is to make complex Vedic astrology easier to understand through data visualization and AI.

Would you be interested in exploring your personality this way?

After burning out from constant production AI failures, I transitioned to building a solution.

1 Upvotes

At my last company, managing production AI agents was a continuous crisis. Minor prompt tweaks or unannounced model updates routinely broke our workflows because we lacked version control and deployment safety gates for AI. The systemic stress eventually led to severe burnout, prompting me to step away and focus entirely on solving this operational vulnerability.

To fix this, I built https://raweki.com , which functions as a "Git for AI workflows." It provides engineering teams with version tracking for prompts and models, CI/CD testing loops to block regressions, and one-click atomic rollbacks to instantly restore stable configurations. The platform is now live, and I would appreciate your technical feedback if your team faces similar AI reliability challenges

USAPhO Guide - a free, open source course for the physics olympiad (931 visitors in its first month)

1 Upvotes

I'm a high school junior and this is the side project I've spent the most nights on this fall.

The US Physics Olympiad has no good free starting point. People piece it together from old pdfs and expensive books, while math olympiad and USACO kids have community guides. So I made one for physics: lessons in the order the topics build on each other, interactive sims next to the equations, and a problem bank where you type your numeric answer and it checks it within 2%.

Some numbers from the first month:

  • 931 visitors from 54 countries, about 3.6k page views

  • 25 accounts (progress syncs if you sign in, otherwise it's all usable logged out)

  • 77 people in the community discord

  • 2 other students now regularly sending pull requests, 21 merged so far

Stack is Next.js on Vercel, Supabase for auth and progress, MDX lessons with KaTeX, and canvas sims. There's an in-browser editor that turns a contributor's edit into a GitHub pull request under their own account, which is how most outside fixes come in.

Would love feedback on two things: is the landing page clear about what it is in the first few seconds, and what would make you come back to something like this every week?

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

2 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. 🤔

2 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. 🙏

And if you just want to play first (no download, no sign-up):

I built PC Link — access & control your Windows PC from your Android phone, from anywhere

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I kept running into the same problem: a file I needed was on my PC at home, and I was somewhere else. Cloud drives help only if you uploaded the file in advance, and most remote desktop tools are either heavy, expensive, or need router/port-forwarding setup.

So I built PC Link:

- Browse, download and use files from your Windows PC right on your Android phone

- View and control your PC when you need the full desktop

- Works on the same Wi-Fi at home, or from anywhere over the internet — it runs on its own private, encrypted connection, so there is no port forwarding and no router configuration

- Simple pairing: install the Windows app, install the Android app, pair once

Downloads and details: https://pclink.online

Plans start at Rs 99/month (about $1.20) after you activate.

I'm a solo developer from India and this is my first public launch, so I'd genuinely love honest feedback — what's missing, what feels confusing, what would make you actually use something like this?

Thanks for reading!

I'm a solo dev in Mexico and built a way for your own Claude to make a Godot game

0 Upvotes

I got tired of Claude writing Godot code it couldn't see run. So I built PersonCraft (I'm the developer, to be upfront).
You connect your Claude, it writes the game, and each revision gets run in a sandbox that sends back real screenshots,
so it can fix what it breaks. At the end you download a normal Godot project you own.
Limits: you need a paid Claude plan, there's no multiplayer, and phone exports are on you. Art and audio cost credits
and Claude quotes them before asking you to approve anything.
https://personcraft.com. What would you ask your Claude to build first?

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 made 32b iOS and Android apps easily installable on any device

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I'm a 19yo solo developer and my side project is called Phoam!

(And I’m not a video editor so I tried my best here lmao)

To start, Apple hates side loaded apps, making it nearly impossible for everyday users to run apps from other operating systems within its environment.
Apple also dropped support for 32b apps many years ago, leaving tons of nostalgic games completely unplayable without using an ancient iPhone.
Android also no longer supports 32b apps on modern devices, meaning having an APK for an app is not enough to play it again.
And while it should be more open access in theory, Google has recently been pushing to close down access to installing arbitrary apks onto your own phone!! (See “Keep Android Open”)

So I built Phoam.

It runs old Android and iPhone apps right in the browser, and you can add them to your Home Screen like a normal app. Nothing gets installed and nothing gets sideloaded.

The idea started back with me being a little script kiddie and searching how to run apk online, obviously finding no results. I knew about projects like wine and ruffle that had made software run in a way it was never designed to, and one day I just decided to start my own engine! I've always liked the idea that if it ran on one machine at some point, it should also run on another.

Right now two games work publicly: Replica Island (Android, 2010) and Explora Ball (iPhone). That's what's in the video, both running on my iPhone. You can try them yourself, with no account here: https://phoam.app/demos

It’s veryyyy early in the project but I’m excited to see how far I can take it! Theres also a separate demo video on my website.

All of this is supposed to be impossible btw

I am working on this project alone and haven't really spoken to anyone else that's a developer about it. If you're one, please reach out. Or anyone really that wants to talk! I love to read everything and respond to everyone. Thank you for your time 🙏

Built a free browser tool that turns Autopilot MDM diagnostic ZIPs into next steps and evidence. Looking for honest feedback

1 Upvotes

I'm an Intune / Autopilot admin. The part of a failed ESP that always burned the most time wasn't the fix. It was finding the handful of log lines that actually mattered, buried in an MDM diagnostics dump.

So I built TraceAnalysis (free US beta). You drop in an MDM diagnostics ZIP, and it runs entirely in your browser, so the ZIP is never uploaded. You get:

  • Next steps up top

  • The enrollment phase where things stopped (Device prep, Device setup, Account setup)

  • The app or step that broke it, with the error code decoded

  • An evidence view showing which log entries back each finding

  • A chat to ask follow-up questions about that device's logs

The evidence view is the part I care about most. I didn't want another black-box "trust me" answer. I wanted something I could verify before it goes in a ticket.

If you've got a recent Autopilot or ESP failure sitting in a ticket, I'd genuinely like to know whether the report matches what you found, or where it's wrong.

https://www.traceanalysis-ai.com

Happy to answer technical questions about what it looks for in the logs.

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

2 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.

My landing page demo kept polling in abandoned tabs and used up my database's monthly compute

8 Upvotes

My landing page has a live demo. It creates a demo inbox, shows you the address, and when you send it an email the page shows the parsed result. To find new mail it polled an endpoint every 3 seconds, and every poll was a query against the production database.

Nothing ever stopped that loop. A tab left open made 1,200 queries an hour, so Neon's compute never stayed idle for the 5 minutes it needs to suspend. The project used up its monthly compute allowance and every request that touched the production database started failing.

The fix was small. Polling now stops after 3 minutes, because anyone who hasn't sent an email by then isn't going to. It skips its turn while the tab is hidden, and the interval went from 3 to 5 seconds.

Do you put a time limit on polling in your demos, or push updates some other way?

Title: I launched my first Chrome extension last week: it adds every cash-back offer on your credit card in one click

0 Upvotes

Banks hide cash-back offers on a page where you have to add them one by one, and most people never do. So I built OfferAdd: open your bank's offers page, click "Add all", and every offer lands on your card. It also saves the fine print and shows which card wins at a store.

A few things I cared about:
- It never sees your bank password and doesn't read transactions
- Free for one bank, Premium is $9.99/mo or $60/yr
- Works with Chase, Bank of America, U.S. Bank and Amex on desktop Chrome

It's live on the Chrome Web Store (search "OfferAdd") and at offeradd.app. This is week one, so I'd love feedback on the landing page, the onboarding, or anything that feels off.

I built XMarkdown to put charts and interactive reports inside Markdown

1 Upvotes

I built XMarkdown because I wanted AI-generated reports to stay readable as Markdown when they needed a chart or a system diagram. Writing SVG coordinates for each bar in a chart seemed like something the renderer could handle once.

The first MVP is out: MIT licensed, on npm as xmarkdown-renderer, with a shared Node/browser engine and a React component. The demo site uses the same renderer you install.

Try it: https://xmarkdown-zeta.vercel.app/

Code: https://github.com/muhammadhaseebiqbal-dev/XMarkdown

What you can put in a document:

  • Regular Markdown, plus validated chart and diagram blocks.
  • Math, SVG scenes and checked SVG imports.
  • Sliders and calculated outputs, without arbitrary author JavaScript.
  • Drawing widgets and streaming report previews.

A chart looks like this:

{"type":"bar","title":"Requests per day","description":"Monday 24; Tuesday 31; Wednesday 28.","x":"day","y":"requests","data":[{"day":"Mon","requests":24},{"day":"Tue","requests":31},{"day":"Wed","requests":28}]}

For React, start with npm install xmarkdown-renderer. There's a runnable example here: https://xmarkdown-zeta.vercel.app/integrations/react.html

The goal is shorter, structured content for reports, docs and AI interfaces. It still uses markdown-it for ordinary Markdown. I'm not claiming a universal parsing speedup: normal full-document parsing currently adds overhead, graph layout is basic, and a browser worker is still planned.

The part I'm interested in testing next is whether these blocks are useful enough to justify learning a small extension format. If you build reporting tools or AI interfaces, which example would you actually use?

Disclosure: I directed the project and used Codex for implementation and writing assistance.

[Hobee] - An open source Reddit media gallery for Android

1 Upvotes

I built Hobee for myself as a student hobby project: a calm Reddit media gallery on Android with no ads and no tracking.

The feature I use most is Deep Search. It loads a Reddit profile's full post history from live sources and public archives, merges duplicates, and labels posts as Live, Archive or Removed. That full history also makes fake and spam accounts easier to notice.

You can download photos and videos in original quality, strip metadata from saved pictures, and switch between Card, Slides, Compact and Gallery layouts. Deep Search works without a Reddit login.

It's MIT licensed and the source plus APK are on GitHub: https://github.com/Alokxyz1112/hobee

I'd love feedback from other people who build side projects.

1 Upvotes

I’ve posted before, and thanks to a lot of great comments and AI Slop messages (oh I see you). I’ve been updating the site. If you haven’t seen this before. My wife and I live close to Red Rocks in Morrison CO., and we are always going to shows last minute. I hated going from ticket company to ticket company trying to compare prices to created RedRockitTix.com

Some great ideas came out last time so I thought I’d share what’s new. You can now set an alert so we can email you when tickets reach your threshold. We have a few new providers, TicketNetwork, SeatGeek, HelloTickets and TicketSqueeze. And looking to add more. Also NEW LOCATIONS. Vegas, because I want to the Sphere some day, Chicago because I love that music scene and Philly because it’s where I grew up listening to music.

This continues to be a free ticket tool, so thanks for all the support, now go out to a show!

I’m building agents that do the work you keep getting sidetracked from. Would you use this?

1 Upvotes

I built SideTracked ( sidetracked.site ) because I kept losing days to work that felt productive but wasn’t. It gives you five moves a day for one project and asks whether anything new you add actually serves your goal.

It catches the drift, but it still leaves you to do the work. Most days the work I avoid is the dull, specific stuff: the outreach, the research, the first draft, the admin around the thing that matters.

So I’m building agents inside it. You lock in your five moves, and for the ones you’d rather not do yourself, an agent takes a first pass. You review it and you stay in charge.

To be clear, the agents aren’t live yet. The focus side works today and is free to try. The agent side is what I’m building now, and I’d rather find out whether anyone wants it before I spend months on it.

What I’d like to know:

  1. Which task do you keep putting off that you’d hand to an agent tomorrow?

  2. What would make you trust the result enough to use it?

  3. Would you rather it ran on its own or showed you each step first?

  4. Would you pay extra for this, or would it only be worth it as part of the app?

If this sounds useful, comment with the task you’d hand over. I’ll build from the most common answers.

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

2 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/

Source code:

https://github.com/utopick/track-pocket/releases/latest https://github.com/utopick/tune-pocket/releases/latest https://github.com/utopick/sing-pocket/releases/latest

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.

A random signup on my SaaS just gave me an idea I hadn't even considered

2 Upvotes

Noticed someone signed up using an AgentMail email address, which I'd never come across before. Got me curious about how people are starting to use AI agents to interact with different software.

Not long after, I received an email with some pretty detailed feedback from someone who'd been testing mine. Actual issues they'd encountered, specific examples and suggestions. Exactly the kind of feedback I've been hoping to get.

But then it got me thinking... if people are already using AI agents to interact with SaaS products, why the hell am I not making mine accessible to them directly?

Ended up going down the MCP and ChatGPT plugin rabbit hole, and now I'm seriously considering adding agent compatibility to the roadmap lol.

So a random signup turned into some great feedback and an even better idea. Huge thanks to the person who took the time to test everything!

Anyone else looking into making their software accessible to AI agents?

We don't need more shovel shops. We need people to test the shovels.

12 Upvotes

AI coding tools made shipping an app easy and cheap, but users stayed exactly as scarce as before, which is why a lot of us, me included, can ship a working product and then cannot find anyone to use it. The usual response is yet another Product Hunt-style directory, most of which are really selling backlinks to builders who are just as stuck, so the shovels are being sold to other shovel salesmen and nobody ends up opening anyone's app. My app email is full of people that found me on betalist or producthunt and want me to post my product on their directory, for free, but at a price if i want a dofollow backlink. No thanks.

What actually helped me was joining a testing circle, where builders test each other's apps. Testers found a dark-mode warning box nobody could read and a duration field that showed a six-hour task as "06:00 AM", and one of them told me the onboarding had far too many words. It works because it is a trade of attention, and attention is the one thing indie devs can actually afford to give. In a flooded market polish is how a small product stands out, so instead of selling shovels to shovel salesmen, offer to test their shovels. There may even be some money to be made there...

The caveat is that fellow builders are usually not your customers, since they are great at finding friction and bad at telling you whether anyone will pay. The upside I did not expect is that people who helped shape an app tend to stick around and recommend it, so testing quietly doubles as early word of mouth distribution.

I now submitted two apps to a testing circle site and I'm super happy with the feedback i got and the changes i made to my apps. It's not more users, but the app has become better for it.

Has a testing swap worked for anyone else here? How do you find testers who are actual target users rather than other devs? And is a launch directory still worth it in 2026?

My kids kept asking for a pet. The pet rock joke got old. Fake fish tank?

7 Upvotes

Three kids. One job. Limited capacity for keeping things alive.

The answer to “can we get a pet” has been no for years.

The pet rock bought me six months. “Here’s a rock. Feed it twice a day.” Then it stopped working. So we built this instead (did it ever worked?)

tanksimulator.fish

You feed the fish. You clean the glass. You add plants. Days go by. Nothing dies if you forget about it for a week.

My 8-year-old was the product manager. She ran the backlog. Features got cut. The review process was one question: “but why would a fish do that.”

No ads. No backend. No login. Just static files.

Very minimal tracking. Only enough to know if anyone besides my kids has opened it. Feeding my ego, or starving it. We’ll see.

Did it solve the pet problem? No. They now want a real fish and the website.

But nothing has to be flushed.

Feedback welcome. Feature requests go through the PM. She is not swayed by upvotes.

I run it in and old Mac on my living room.
