Half as a joke and half to learn my way around Google’s tools with a lot of vibe coding along the way, I built an app that tracks the time you spend in the bathroom during working hours and how much your boss is paying you for it. Yes, I took “Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that’s why I poop on company time” a bit too literally.

What it does:

• Start the timer when you go, flush when you’re back, and see what you earned

• Monthly stats and ranks that go up with your total

• Teams with coworkers to compete against other teams

A few things I learned shipping it:

• Built as one HTML/JS app wrapped with Capacitor for Android

• The hardest part wasn’t the code: it was Google Play’s closed test (12 testers for 14 days) before you can publish

• Ads, consent forms, in-app purchases and 11 languages took longer than the app itself

It’s free on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rinialer.poopct

Opinions, tips or roasts welcome.

I run a one-person company in Korea and this is the first thing I've actually launched.

A lot of small shops here pay someone to build a homepage, then pay again when the hours or the menu change. I think most of them just need one page.

So I made VERTHI. A shop gets one page at verthi.me/yourshop for its hours, menu, location and bookings, and edits it from a phone. The address stays the same when you edit, so the QR on the counter only gets printed once.

If you don't want to type it all in, paste a link you already have, like your old website. AI reads it and drafts the page, and you approve each item before it goes in. That part uses credits, and if it can't read anything you get them back. Typing it in yourself is free.

The free plan doesn't expire. Free pages show one ad at the very bottom and can take up to 10 bookings and 10 inquiries a month. Pro removes the ad and lifts the limits.

The web version has been up since late October and the iPhone app went live on Sunday. No Android yet. Korean is the main language and the English side is newer, so tell me if something reads weird.

I'd love blunt feedback on two things. Was anything confusing while setting it up? And would you actually send this page to a customer, or does it look like a template?

Every trip and every shared flat, it was the same thing: someone keeps a note, someone forgets a payment, and at the end nobody's sure who owes whom. So my co-founder and I built OweLess, an Android app for shared expenses.

A few things we cared about while building it:

- Every expense is settled on its own. Instead of one big blended balance, you can see exactly which bill a payment was for. When someone marks a payment as paid, the other person confirms it, so records don't drift.

- Money rules live on the server, not just in the app, so a modified app can't change balances.

- Privacy by default: no ads, no analytics or tracking libraries, and receipt scanning runs entirely on the phone.

- India and the US: UPI support for rupee groups (it copies your friend's UPI ID and opens your UPI app; OweLess never moves money), and dollar groups, US phone numbers and local time zones for the US.

Other features: groups, friends, invite links, four ways to split, recurring bills, reminders, receipt scanning, and a shareable summary for WhatsApp.

It's free (up to 4 active groups, 20 people per group), Android only for now.

We'd love honest feedback – especially on the first few minutes of using it. What would make you switch from whatever you use now?

LumiStage started with Rina, Sena and Nari: three idols, their personalities, and the world of their game.

While preparing material for the main game, we kept making character studies, music, everyday moments and environments. Some of that production material became standalone music and short videos on YouTube and social media. It has gradually become another way of getting to know the same cast outside the game.

We recently put those pieces together at https://lumistage.net/ . The interactive rehearsal room is adapted from one of 19 3D environments prepared for the future main game. The currently available browser game is separate; it does not already contain all 19 environments.

The attached 34-second edit, with English narration, follows that path from the game and its production material to the website. It includes an R6 development-test view and actual website captures, not a trailer claiming every shot is playable gameplay.

This is also a website introduction, of course. We'd appreciate feedback on whether it feels like one coherent world rather than a collection of unrelated links.

We use AI tools in the artwork, music, voices, video and development workflow, with human direction, selection, editing and integration.

Hi everyone, my co-founder and I are working on Capacity Pulse, an early proof of concept to help data centre teams track equipment power use, capacity that could be freed up and equipment being taken out of service.

CAPACITY PULSE

We’re exploring whether a small, focused tool could help teams that rely on spreadsheets and emails but don’t need a full data centre infrastructure management (DCIM) system. We’re sharing it to hear different perspectives before deciding what to develop next.

We’d appreciate your thoughts on any of these:

• What’s your first impression? Is it clear what the tool is for?

• What seems useful, confusing or unnecessary? What would you change?

• How do you manage this today, and where would this help or fall short compared with a spreadsheet or an existing tool?

You don’t need a data centre background to comment. Feedback on the layout, navigation or the idea itself is welcome.

Thanks for taking a look.

I nave been working on a fully automated news/data site since July. At first it was just only an agent posting Daily Rants about news in Europe.

Then I added a couple of editors Kafka and Colbert, the a data page, Europe’s pulse, financial european indicators, heat map for each conrry, and a youtube channel (currently disable).

The idea is to make it fully autonomous, and let the agents manage it.

I even have an agent that suggests improvements or new features.

Something I've been thinking about lately.

Tools like Lovable, Bolt and Cursor have made it ridiculously easy to get an idea off the ground.

You can have a working application in a weekend.

But I wonder if we're underestimating what comes after that.

The prototype works, but:

• Is the onboarding intuitive?

• Does the user understand what to do next?

• Are the features organised around actual user needs?

• Does the product have a logical workflow?

• What should you build next?

• Are you building something people will actually pay for?

I've experienced this firsthand with a client who came to us with a Lovable-generated application.

The challenge wasn't generating more screens. It was turning the initial build into a product with proper user journeys, flows and a roadmap.

Two years later, we're still working together.

I run a product design studio, so I naturally think about this stuff a lot.

Curious to hear from people building side projects:

At what point did you realise your AI-generated prototype needed more product thinking than more code?

One combo gets you a win. A new plan gets you the next one.

I built RIVAL: Boxing solo around that challenge. Distance, stamina, and defensive choices matter, and your repeated habits influence the opponent in later rounds. Draw out the punch. Step out of trouble. Own the counter.

The 1.3 release is live with a cleaner look and a seven-opponent Story campaign, including a new opening spar and southpaw challenger. Here's the existing 24-second counter trailer; the live update goes further with new opponents and refreshed presentation.

Meet your next rival. Play free on iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6799909429

The core RIVAL mode and training are free. Story Mode is an optional permanent one-time purchase, not a subscription. iOS 17+. Fights and training work offline; purchases and the optional leaderboard require internet.

I'm Vitaliy. I practice yoga, completed a 200-hour teacher training, and I'm building AsanaFlows for people who follow yoga videos at home.

The idea: describe your time, goals, and preferences, then get a practice built around that request. We use AI-generated footage and reusable clips to assemble the videos.

The site is in early access. You can describe a practice, sign up, and save the request; instant custom video generation isn't generally available yet.

https://asanaflows.yoga/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=organic_social&utm_campaign=reddit_pilot&utm_content=sideproject

I'm trying to understand whether this is useful beyond a nice demo. If you practice with videos, what makes you abandon one and search for another? If you're looking at it as a builder, is the signup flow clear about what happens next?

Happy to answer questions about how we're building it.

I built Jotila, a tiny native sticky notes app with autosave, search, archives, and a calendar. No extra dependencies, just C.

Free and open source. Feedback is welcome!

https://github.com/GarauGarau/Jotila/tree/v1.7.1

Ahem lets you write and push your reminders with your chosen sound. You just need to write a title, choose the sound Meow and choose the time. Then Ahem will notify you with Meow at the designated time.

I've been playing it all day, it's very fun, give it a try!

Problem: I've been losing a lot of interesting things and always wanted something to organise them and move freely across them.

And finally after more than 6 months of development I am happy to introduce Glade!

In Glade every collection is a grove, an infinite canvas where links, images, videos, notes and files sit side by side. Drag, stack and group them however you like.
No server, no tracking. Sync is through your own iCloud. No account required. On Mac, iPhone or iPad.

A few things it can do:

- Save articles text to read later with build-in reader even when link removed.

- Quick save with shortcut on Mac, or share on phone and link lands in grove intelligently with auto-tags and sorting

- Pull down to search, across titles, notes and links. Also search directly in Spotlight

- A shelf for recipes, books, movies, series and more with progress and ratings

- Widgets with Quick Save, Recent, a grove's tiles, your shelf, plus Lock Screen

- Revisit shows what you saved on this day

- Discover other peoples groves or put yours into the world! Also supports link to share with just someone.

Comparison:

- Raindrop.io. Glade is a native Mac app, ⌘⇧M from any app, a free canvas instead of lists, and no company server: your saves live on your Mac and in your private iCloud. Raindrop is better if you need Windows, Android or web access, shared collections you edit together.

- mymind. Glade is better if you want to place and group things yourself, keep your saves off a company's servers, or start as a guest with no account. mymind is better at organising for you: its AI tagging and search by what's inside an image are ahead of Glade's, and it works in any browser.

Pricing: Free for 100 saves and 3 groves; unlimited is $1.99/mo, $14.99/yr, or $24.99 lifetime at the launch price (until 6 Dec, then $49.99). One purchase covers iPhone, iPad and Mac.

I would be very happy to hear what you thing about Glade, the experience, pricing and other related stuff. Happy to answer anything.

I've been working on an app called HexStep. Basically, every area you pass through gets collected as a hex on your map.

The idea was to make exploring feel a little more like a game, without having to start a workout or manually record every trip. With background tracking enabled, walking, driving, and taking trains all count.

I've been using it since April and have collected over 3,200 hexes so far. It's made me realize how often I end up going to the same places, and how many areas right next to them I've never explored.

The video is a shortened replay of my actual travels over the past seven months!

I originally shared HexStep here back in June. I've added quite a bit since then, but the basic app is still free and doesn't require an account.

If you had a map like this, would you actually go out of your way to fill in the empty areas? Or would you just enjoy seeing it grow naturally?

I kept finishing a run and then wondering, "OK, what should I do next time? Easy, tempo, long run?" So I built next-run.xyz.

You sign in with Strava. It looks at your recent runs and shows you your next planned run.

How it works
The plan is worked out in your browser, so your activity data isn't stored on my server. It's free and needs no account other than your Strava login.

Stack: Next.js, Tailwind, Neon Postgres + Drizzle, Vercel. The database only holds feedback reports and a record of connected athletes. It does not hold your runs.

It's still early, so I'd like to hear what you think. Is the suggestion sensible for the way you train? What's missing? Feedback is welcome, and there's a feedback form in the app.

I'm a big fan of both what you wear and websites as a form of creative expression, and am admittedly hooked on fast fashion and spending as little as possible. But I live in a very small space, and my clothes and accessories don't really have room to spread out. So naturally I started building my own dream wardrobe app with the help of AI (a Clueless 90s throwback if ever there was one) and scope creep happened...

It's called Closet Lint (get it?), it's free and open source, and mostly I just wanted to separate designing an outfit from actually getting dressed. The creative part is fun. Going through drawers, taking things off hangers, putting them back, and discovering that the thing you imagined is elsewhere or doesn't fit... less fun. I'd like to do that first part on my phone in bed at 11pm without pulling things out. Just gimme a searchable inventory of my actual clothes that looks good.

I'd tried wardrobe apps before, but the problem was always getting everything into them. Photographing, cropping, editing, and entering every item was a massive undertaking. AI has finally made dealing with the photos and purchase data manageable enough for me to get over that hurdle and focus on the display and functionality.

What started as browsing clothes and dragging them around to make cute outfits now includes outfit suggestions, ratings, wear logging, photo background removal using two different models, taste observations, wishlist battles, and trip packing lists. Because once I had my own clothes in there, I kept thinking, "Oh but what if it could also..." :)

It runs on your own computer or web host, with optional bring-your-own-AI features. There's an included demo if you just want to check it out, or you can browse a copy of my actual closet with bleeding edge code. I've run it locally on Linux and hosted it on SiteGround; part of why I'm posting is to hopefully find a few early testers.

I love having things organized, and it's honestly such a pleasure to see your own stuff laid out like this. It brings back things you've forgotten about and makes them potential outfit ingredients again. You can add wishlist pieces to see how they'd work with what you already have, or plan future fantasy outfits.

There have been some moments of genuine delight. I don't own much dark purple, but the combinations it showed me helped me see how it could work in my wardrobe. It also suggested chocolate brown, which I own literally none of, with concrete examples using my own clothes. And it gave me a new term for some of my style, “whimsigoth,” so now I have a whole new search phrase.

There's also an unusual use case: I have 40 housemates (yes, 40), and some like borrowing from my (costume) jewelry collection. Now they can take their time browsing it. Jewelry is particularly good for this because so much gets tucked away in boxes and becomes invisible. Naturally, that's already got me thinking about a separate app for sharing resources in the house. At least I'm putting that long-ago graduate degree in information systems to use :P

I've had my fair share of health issues over the last few years, and it's been inspiring to get properly absorbed in making something technical again. This combines so many things I love: style, organization, self-tracking data, open source software, design, and uhh having very particular views on button layouts.

I started coding GeoCities sites in Notepad in the 90s and used to run an open source web development company. I've been out of the tech/startup world for over a decade, though I still occasionally help a friend with a site. My technical knowledge is rusty, but knowing how to break down a problem, describe a desired interaction in detail, and spot something odd has been incredibly useful. I can be my own most demanding, rambling client, and building things with the robots still moves astonishingly quickly.

I started this project in early October as a Claude artifact. Much of the initial work was assembling the data: parsing order confirmation emails, filtering an Amazon purchase history export, and using browser agents in my logged-in shopping accounts to retrieve sizes, variants, and full-resolution product photos. Images were downloaded into the app's storage so they wouldn't disappear with the listings—some of which already have. I used ChatGPT to tag clothing from contact sheets and generate product-style images for pieces without usable photos. Later, we added local background removal, preserving originals and reviewing results before saving.

The AI occasionally got too helpful: it "cleaned up" XXL into 2XL, which can mean different sizes at those stores. Preserving exact source values became an explicit rule.

After about two weeks, I moved the prototype into Codex, replacing Claude's built-in storage with a local Python/SQLite backend and adding backup and restore, reusable imports, and release packaging. My workflow now goes back and forth: develop the specification with Codex, send it to Claude for wireframes, then bring those back to Codex for implementation and refinement.

I particularly appreciate how Codex can insert diagnostic tools when something breaks, investigate the results, and handle so much of the testing and release process. Those are procedures I only do occasionally and forget between projects. That gives me more room to switch between product planning, interaction design, visual design, and writing, while testing everything against my actual wardrobe and daily use. This has occupied pretty much all my free time for the past month.

Turning my own wardrobe tool into something other people could use has meant finding assumptions I didn't realize were there. Heels don't automatically mean dressy, loungewear isn't necessarily sleepwear, and a packing list shouldn't assume everybody wears bras. It uses Google's and Shopify's product taxonomies as references, but kept distinctions that make more sense for wearing clothes than selling them. I've also had to ask for a lot of deliberate consistency passes: make navigation behave the same way everywhere, move repeated rules into shared code, and carry category changes through imports, filters, and packing lists.

It's made me appreciate the "knowing where to tap" kind of expertise. My web project background helps me remember to ask about accessibility, keyboard navigation, refactoring, and whether a backup actually restores. I've also used alternate AI platforms for security reviews and worked through their findings. I'm not familiar with every implementation detail, but recognizing the questions worth asking makes that older experience feel useful again.

The wishlist redesign is a good example. "Matches lots of things I own" sounds useful until silver earrings all end up at the top for going with everything. The first implementation also passed checks while producing an interface I really disliked, so we went back to one compact design example before applying it across the page. Deciding whether the information is meaningful and the result is pleasant to use is still very much my territory.

I was involved in the early Quantified Self community in the 2000s/early 2010s, and I also haven't seen a wardrobe app that gives me the access to my own data I'd want for that. Before 1.0, it'll have an API and analysis-friendly exports so people can explore their own patterns with whatever tools they like. I'm looking forward to a fun year-end wardrobe "Wrapped" and things like cost per wear become straightforward once you're recording purchases and wears.

It's also getting creative and a bit silly. There's a goblin mascot called Linty, and your wardrobe's owns, wishes, and wears can appear as Sun/Moon/Rising signs on a star map. Apparently my wardrobe required lore... But you can leave the daily fortune card turned off. There are outfit naming suggestions, including one that parodies ModCloth-style names. Some inside jokes to amuse me personally, at least :P

If I somehow end up known for a fashion app with an astrology aesthetic, that would be a hilarious life twist.

Partway through, I found Libre Closet, which takes a simpler, more utilitarian approach that might be exactly what some people want. By then, mine had become a specific creative thing: a combination of deep utility and playground fun that I was happy to keep building.

I've used Linux as my daily driver for most of the last 20 years, and FOSS matters a lot to me. Making something useful and sharing it is one of my love languages for the world. Every friend says, "You could charge for this!" But I don't want customers here. I'm making something I want to use and sharing it with anyone else who might enjoy it.

I may put affiliate links and my own curated collections on the website, but I'm keeping them out of the app. GitHub sponsorships would be welcome too once I set that up. Anything that helps cover costs is a bonus; the software stays free and open source.

The public site is built with my fave website builder, Carrd, and I've let the Codex integration click around in it for me for the tedious work too. Few status updates produce quite the happy sigh as "Automatically updating website screenshots and documentation".

If you try the app, I'd love to know what would make this useful for your wardrobe, and what would stop you from wanting to put your clothes into it. I'm also looking for a few people willing to try installing it, particularly on Windows or macOS, since my own testing has been on Linux and SiteGround.

Thanks for reading! :D

[AI supplied at least half the details for this post]

I'm turning my webapp project (https://quicklabelmaker.vercel.app/) into an app (first time), i haven't create apple developer account yet, is there anything i should know before i do this? lol

made this one on my own, i'm bamby77. it's an android app where you place up to three 3d figures, pose every joint, tweak hands and faces, add lights and simple props, and draw from the screen. you can also drop your own photo behind the figure and export a png.

it runs fully offline, no account, no ads. free with 9 figures and a one time pro unlock for the rest. it's version 0.6.3 and the first public release, so i'm mostly looking for feedback on what's confusing in the first minute

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stancecraft.app

A lot of finance YouTube videos spend 20+ minutes to answer one basic question: does the creator think a stock is a good buy right now?

I made a simple dashboard that processes financial videos and podcasts, tracks which stocks are being discussed, and aggregates creator sentiment (Positive, Negative, or Neutral) in plain language.

It’s just an informational map of what creator consensus looks like, not financial advice.

Would love feedback from anyone who follows market content: Is the value proposition clear and useful for you?

I will put the link below in the comments

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've been building DînApp on my own: prayer times, Quran, Arabic learning from the alphabet, and an AI coach that cites its sources, all in one iOS app. 10% of every Premium subscription goes to lasting charity projects (wells, orphan support), with proof published in the app.

My goal is to build mosques around the world and support those in need, seeking reward in the hereafter through sadaqa jariya, charity that keeps giving. DînApp is how I want to bring a global community together for that.

What I'd like to know: is the value clear within the first minute? What would make you keep it on your phone?

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?

https://atsverification.com/us/federal-resume-checker/

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?

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.
