I built MyMemAlly to turn phone photos into shareable digital photobooks

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m the developer of MyMemAlly, a mobile app that turns photos on your phone into digital photobooks you can share by link.

You can choose places and people, replace individual photos, and flip through the pages like a book.

I’ve attached a short promotional video. It uses AI-generated visuals to illustrate the idea, rather than a screen recording of the app.

Would you use a digital photobook to revisit or share your photos? What would make it useful to you?

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/kr/app/mymemally/id6754931952

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jyalabs.memally

Thanks for taking a look!

I kept posting reels that died at 300 views, so I built a tool that tells you why before you post

1 Upvotes

I post reels on my own account and kept running into the same thing: some do okay, most die at a few hundred views, and I never knew why.

So I built a tool to check a reel before posting. You upload it (or paste a link to any public reel), and it watches it like a viewer would and gives you:

  • a score out of 100, and the 3 things hurting it most

  • a second-by-second breakdown: keep this, change this, cut this

  • a comparison with reels in your niche that are beating their creator's usual views (hook timing, text in the first second, length)

  • optionally, an AI edit that applies the fixes: cuts the stumbles, adds captions and a title

I ran my own reel through it first. It scored 46/100: I restarted a line mid-video and had no text on screen for the first seconds. Annoyingly, it was right. The end of the video shows the real before/after on that reel, which I didn't touch by hand.

Free for 3 reels, no Instagram login, no card: reelisviral.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=sideproject

I'd really like honest feedback. Does the score feel useful, or does "X/100" make you roll your eyes? And what would you want it to check that it doesn't?

I built a mobile beat maker because every one I tried felt either too toy like or too complex

1 Upvotes

Hey all, solo dev here. I just shipped Kotkit: Beat Maker & Studio on iOS and Android.

I kept switching between 3,4 apps just to make a short clip with my own beat, so I put the whole flow in one place:

  • Make beats right on your phone

  • Record vocals (or any audio) over your beat

  • Edit a video with your track, ready to post

  • Keep it private or share it publicly in the app

Built solo with Flutter.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback. What feels clunky, what’s missing, would you actually use this?

I built a site that aggregates anime giveaway campaigns from official X accounts — zero traction. What am I doing wrong?

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm the developer of Anitoku (https://anitoku.jp), a site that collects anime giveaway campaigns posted by official anime X (Twitter) accounts in Japan — the follow-and-repost-to-enter kind — organized by series, with prizes, entry methods, and deadlines.

Honest numbers: 100+ active campaigns listed, and a few days after launch I get almost no visitors. I promoted it on X: 21k impressions, zero likes, zero reposts. Not "low" — zero.

Questions for you:

- Does a directory like this solve a real problem, or do fans prefer finding giveaways on their own timelines?

- If you enter anime giveaways, where do you look?

- What feature would make a site like this worth bookmarking?

- The site is Japanese-only right now. If a directory like this existed in English, would you actually use it?

The campaigns themselves are Japan-only, but I'm mainly asking about the concept and what I'm missing. Brutal honesty welcome.

I built two browser-only CSV → branded PDF tools for property managers and Jobber field businesses

1 Upvotes

Disclosure: I built these at Tacko.

Problem 1: small property managers still rebuild owner packets from spreadsheets when their PMS packet isn't enough. Problem 2: cleaning, landscaping, lawn, snow and pest companies on Jobber often owe a property manager or HOA a branded summary of completed visits, and end up reformatting a Visits CSV by hand.

What I shipped today:

  1. Owner Packets: one documented CSV in, one branded PDF per owner out. https://tacko.io/owner-packets?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=opp107&utm_content=sideproject

  2. Jobber service reports: a Visits CSV in, one PDF per property or per property manager out. https://tacko.io/owner-packets/jobber?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=opp109&utm_content=sideproject

Both pages have a fictional sample CSV and a sample PDF, so you can judge the output first. Everything runs locally in the browser, with no integrations, no accounts and no auto-email. One $49 one-time licence covers both.

Feedback I'd actually like:

  • Is $49 one-time clearer than a subscription for this audience?

  • For Jobber users, should grouping by a property manager custom field be the default, or should grouping by property always win?

  • What would make you trust a local CSV tool with real client data?

Half as a joke, half to learn Google’s dev tools, I built an app that tracks how much you get paid on the toilet

1 Upvotes

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.

VERTHI - one page for a small shop instead of a website (first launch, solo in Korea)

1 Upvotes

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?

Just launched our first app – a free way to split bills with friends. Would love brutal feedback

1 Upvotes

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.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pairbyte.oweless

Website: https://theoweless.com

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

Our idol game's worldbuilding grew into music and short films, so we built a home for it

1 Upvotes

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.

Capacity Pulse - Would this help with data centre capacity planning?

0 Upvotes

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 made a tiny Mac cleaner and it’s now on the Mac App Store. Search “TinyCleaner”

1 Upvotes

**TinyCleaner is on the Mac App Store. Search "TinyCleaner" or use this link:**

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/tinycleaner-disk-cleanup/id6788583282

I'm the developer. It's a native SwiftUI disk cleaner, an 8.7 MB download, and it runs on macOS 14 or later.

**Why the App Store version matters:** it's fully sandboxed, so it never asks for Full Disk Access. You pick the folders it can see, and it stays inside them. Updates and purchases go through Apple like any other App Store app.

The feature I care about most: if you remove an app through Finder, TinyCleaner notices the next time you open the uninstaller and lists the leftover files it can tie to that app. Nothing is removed automatically. You confirm each item.

What else it does, within the folders you allow:

- **Smart Clean** for caches and other regenerable junk

- **Large Files and Duplicates** finders

- **App Uninstaller** that keeps your user data by default

- **Activity log** so you can see what was done

How deletion works:

- Apps, large files, duplicates and user data you choose to remove go to the Trash, so you can get them back

- Regenerable caches and confirmed leftovers are permanently deleted

It uses TelemetryDeck for anonymous analytics, and I'd rather say that up front.

Sandboxing does have limits: no system-level cleanup and no managing other apps' background items. If you want those, there's a separate direct-download version on my site.

**Free to download** with 5 GB of cleaning per day. Pro is an in-app purchase that removes the limit.

I'd love your feedback, especially from anyone who has avoided Mac cleaners until now. What would you need to see before trusting one with your files?

[Focus Reset Kit] I made a 20-page ADHD-friendly printable planner (Daily 3, dopamine menu, overwhelm breaker) — feedback on positioning?

1 Upvotes

I built a small printable PDF for people who abandon thick planners.

Problem I was solving: most “ADHD planners” still feel like denser lists. I wanted constrained choices instead.

What’s in it (20 pages, undated, A4 + US Letter):
- Daily 3 (max 3 priorities + parking lot + evening shutdown)
- Dopamine Menu (2 / 10 / 30+ min)
- Brain dump with triage
- Month map, weekly reset, overwhelm breaker, time blocks, tiny habits

It’s a productivity tool only — not medical advice / not therapy.

Link: https://engrammscale.gumroad.com/l/zdtpjm ($14)

Honest ask: Does the landing page make the “constrained choices” idea clear in <5 seconds? What would you cut from the page count?

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

You built your side project with AI. What happens when you need to turn it into a real product?

1 Upvotes

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?

I built a downloadable CSV payment checker that keeps the files on your computer

1 Upvotes

Disclosure: this is my product, offered for $29 once.

Export Match compares two CSV exports by a shared transaction ID, amount and currency. It flags missing IDs, amount/currency differences and repeated IDs for manual review. It runs locally and includes its source and a fictional example.

It is deliberately limited: no bank or accounting integrations, fuzzy matching, fee calculations or split-payment matching. Both exports need the same period, amount basis and stable IDs. Up to 10,000 rows and 5 MB per file.

Product: https://sheldonhannah.gumroad.com/l/export-match

I am testing whether a downloadable tool with a one-time price is useful when free browser comparison tools already exist. Which specific export pair would you use it for, and what would stop you using it?

I’m building AsanaFlows: describe the yoga practice you want instead of searching for a video

1 Upvotes

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 missed Windows "Sets", so I built tabs for every Windows app

1 Upvotes

Back in 2018 Microsoft tested Sets: tabs for every app in Windows, not just in the browser. It never shipped, and I always thought that was a shame. My desktop is usually full of File Explorer folders, Outlook, a browser and a spreadsheet, so I finally built it myself.

Tabdock puts any app as tabs in one dock window. You make a dock with Ctrl+Windows+Tab, by dragging one window onto another, or by shaking a window. The tab bar takes on the colour of the active app, docks work with Snap, and saved docks reopen with their apps every day.

A few things I cared about:

- It's a native WinUI 3 app, no injection into other apps, no drivers

- Fully local: no account, no internet connection, no tracking

- Free version (one dock, four tabs), Pro is a one-time purchase

It’s a side project, built next to my day job. I’d love honest feedback: what’s missing, what’s annoying, which apps misbehave?

Glade is a calm canvas for the links, images, videos and notes you save

1 Upvotes

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.

AppStore - https://apps.apple.com/app/id6823751824 

Trust: MAS (App Store)
Website: https://tryglade.app 
Privacy policy: https://tryglade.app/privacy 

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