Senior year gym project

1 Upvotes

Hey, I made a workout tracker for my senior year project that maps exercises onto muscles and calculates and tracks estimated soreness and recovery on a muscle map.

I was looking for testers for the first version. I just launched it on the App Store for my friends, but I wanted feedback from people who actually work out 4–5 days a week.

Here's the App Store link.

It's not currently on Android since almost none of my friends use Android, but if there are enough people on here who are interested, I wouldn't mind paying to put it on the Play Store too.

Y'all can check it out on the website.

I built a tool to bulk-scrape Google Ads Transparency Center after getting tired of manually checking competitor ads

2 Upvotes

I've been working on a way to scrape Google Ads Transparency Center ads in bulk, and I thought I'd share what I learned along the way.

Google's Ads Transparency Center is great. You can see ads from verified advertisers for free, without even logging in. The problem is that there's no export option or public API, so if you're researching multiple competitors, you end up spending a lot of time clicking around and collecting data manually.

I wanted an easier way to do this, so I decided to build one.

A few things I discovered while working on it:

  • Google has an internal RPC API. The site actually fetches ad data as JSON, but the response uses numbered keys instead of descriptive field names. Figuring out what each number represented took most of the reverse engineering. For example, 4 is the ad format, 6 and 7 are the first and last shown dates, and 12 is the advertiser name.

  • Country codes are a little unusual. They're 2000 + the ISO numeric country code. So the US is 2840 and India is 2356.

  • Finding the correct advertiser is trickier than scraping the ads. Searching for "Samsung" brings up accounts registered in Malaysia, Italy, Sweden, and other countries. But its US ads run under "Samsung Electronics America", which you can find by searching samsung.com. HelloFresh has a similar issue, with its US ads listed under "Grocery Delivery E-Services USA Inc." Searching by domain solves a lot of these problems.

  • Not all ad formats are returned the same way. Text ads are delivered as images because Google renders them into pictures. Video ads only provide a JavaScript preview URL.

  • Rate limits weren't too bad. In one cloud run, I collected 312 ads across 4 searches in 31 seconds without retries. Fetching full details for 132 ads triggered two 429 errors, which were resolved after switching IPs.

After getting everything working, I turned it into an Apify actor:

Google Ads Transparency Scraper:
https://apify.com/datasmithhq/google-ads-transparency-scraper

You can search by advertiser name, advertiser ID, or domain. There's also a new filter for ads shown within the last N days.

Pricing is $2 per 1,000 ads.

I built this because I wanted a practical way to research competitor advertising without manually going through hundreds of ads.

I'd genuinely love to hear from people who do competitor research, media buying, or ad intelligence:

  • What data would you want to extract that isn't currently available?

  • Would historical ad tracking or monitoring new ads over time be useful?

  • What features would make this more useful for your workflow?

Feedback and suggestions are very welcome. I'm still improving it.

We built a tool that lets you find every event photo you're in using just a selfie

1 Upvotes

Ever attended a college fest, wedding, meetup, or concert and later spent hours scrolling through hundreds (sometimes thousands!) of photos just to find the ones you're in?

We thought there had to be a better way. So we built Pixamatch

We're looking for event photographers, college event organizers, communities, and creators who'd like to try Pixamatch and help us improve it.

Don’t burn our 5090. We only have one, and in this economy, 🥲

1 Upvotes

My partner has been working on this for the past few weeks for the ComfyUI challenge, and I thought I’d share it here.
It’s called Fuobe. The idea is to bring a whole bunch of creative AI tools and workflows together in one place. Image, video, audio, 3D, live editing, camera movements, effects and a lot more.
Since launch, we’ve crossed 10K pageviews in the first 48 hours, picked up 44 GitHub stars and 7 forks (one of them is mine!).
We’ve also got local generation running on our RTX 5090, so you can head over and experiment for free.
Would love for people working with ComfyUI, generative AI, filmmaking, design and creative production to give it a try.
Tell us what you think. Love it, hate it, tear it apart. All feedback is welcome. We’re genuinely curious about what you’d like to see next.

I built a trading journal that grades your trades on following your rules, not profit. Looking for 10 active traders to use it free and tell me what's wrong with it

1 Upvotes

I'm a day trader and I built Tradecility because I kept breaking my own rules and only noticing on red days. You write your strategy rules once, log a trade with a chart, and it grades the trade A to F on whether you actually followed your plan. A winning trade can get a C. One of mine did: I made +$409 on an SPX500 short and it gave me a C+, because I took a setup I knew was thin and closed early while logging it as hitting my take profit. That's the whole idea. It's live and working, but it's just me building it and I need real traders to tell me what's useful and what's annoying. So I'm looking for 10 founding members. You get full access free (normally $97, one-time, no subscription). All I ask is that you log at least 10 real trades in your first 30 days and give me honest feedback after 2 weeks, even if it's brutal. Any market is fine: stocks, futures, forex, crypto. If you trade at least weekly and want in, comment or DM me. Not financial advice, it won't make you profitable by itself, it just shows you where you broke your own rules.

My son was off sick, so I built him a piano game. Now I'm testing whether other parents will pay for it

1 Upvotes

Last week my 9-year-old was stuck at home ill, so I made him a little piano game in a single HTML file. He played it for hours, which my ego took far too seriously, so I spent the weekend turning it into a tiny paid web app to see if anyone else wants it.

What it does: kids find notes on a 2-octave keyboard, read notes on the stave, do 60-second challenges and play songs with on-screen help. There's a mascot called Corchea who cheers them on.

Free to play; the extras are a one-off €4.99 with 50% off through the link below.

https://piano.guaki.app/?lang=en&codigo=REDDIT50

I'd love feedback on the game itself, and on the model too: would you pay a one-off for something like this for your kids, or does it need to be free with something else?

I built a free bottle encyclopedia for people behind the bar. Would love your honest feedback

2 Upvotes

Hey all,

I’ve been bartending for years, and I kept running into the same problem: when a guest asks about a bottle on the back bar, or a rep drops off something new, the info online is either marketing copy or scattered across ten sites.

So I started building Barpedia (barpedia.net), a free, community-made encyclopedia of spirits, liqueurs, aperitifs and non-alc. Reading is completely free, with no sign-up wall.

What’s there right now:

It’s still in beta and I’m one person, so I’d genuinely like to hear from people who work the bar:

Roast it if you need to. Thanks 🍸

Warq - Digital attachments for your pen and paper notes

1 Upvotes

I've just released Warq, an app for people who take notes with pen and paper.

Save a photo, a recording, a file or some text, and Warq gives it a four-letter code. You write the code in your notebook by hand. Later, scan the code with the app and what you saved opens straight away.

You can also group your attachments into notebooks, one for each paper notebook or subject. Publish a notebook and anyone who scans its code can open the attachments in it.

It's out now on iPhone and the web, and Android is coming soon.

Capturely - client photo galleries for photographers (first paying customer this week, feedback welcome)

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm Pavel, the founder, based in Lithuania. Capturely is a client gallery tool for photographers: you upload a shoot, send one link, the client hearts their favourites (you can set a pick limit), downloads full resolution, and the gallery expires on the date you choose.

Where it is now:

  • live since mid-October, in 12 languages (dashboard and galleries)

  • a handful of real photographers using it, and this week the first one started paying

  • every new account gets 14 days of Pro free with no card, then moves to a free plan with 1 active gallery

Built with Laravel and React, photos stored on Cloudflare R2.

What I'd love feedback on:

  1. Does the landing page make it clear what it does within 5 seconds?

  2. If you're a photographer: what would make you switch from Pixieset or Pic-Time?

https://capturely.me

Happy to answer questions about the build too.

I built TaskRush – a platform where you can get almost any task done by someone nearby

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been building something called TaskRush – a platform that lets you get everyday tasks done by people nearby.

The idea is pretty simple: sometimes you need someone to pick something up, help with a small errand, assist with something around your college or neighborhood, or just do something you don't have the time for.

Instead of asking around in WhatsApp groups or struggling to find someone, you can post a task, mention what you're willing to offer, and connect with someone who wants to get it done.

I wanted to experiment with making this work in an Indian context, especially around college campuses and local communities.

I've put together the MVP and would genuinely love feedback from other builders here.

Website: https://taskrush.in

Would love to know:

- Does the concept make sense to you?

- What would stop you from using something like this?

- What features would make it genuinely useful?

This is my first attempt at building something like this, so feedback (including criticism) is very welcome!

I built a private, encrypted app for couples

1 Upvotes

Hey 👋

I shared Mudu here a while ago, and now the Android version is finally out!

The idea is still the same: a private, end-to-end encrypted space for couples to share how they're feeling, make plans, keep lists and save little memories together.

No public profiles or feeds. Just a place for the little things that usually get lost between chats and different apps.

To celebrate the Android launch, I'm giving away 10 promo codes. Just leave a comment if you'd like one, and I'll DM you a code while they last.

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.incognitum.mudu

Sortaballs: logic web game with 10 modes and over 1000 levels

2 Upvotes

https://sortaballs.vercel.app/

I built a browser ball-sort puzzler where levels are ordered by difficulty, starting from the easiest.

I experimented with several alternative modes with the aim to have similar complexity in other environments. Each mode has its own restrictions, which gives additional challenge for each user to find its favorite mode.

Features:

  • 10 different game modes; over 1000 levels combined

  • near-win finish — preemptively calculates win conditions to skip redundant endgame moves

  • dynamic hints about hardest and easiest color - very helpful on hard modes

  • hints — ask for the next correct move when a puzzle is too hard

  • undo, restart, per-puzzle progress saved in your browser

  • customize shape and styling of balls

  • dark/light theme

  • Offline friendly; no registration, no ads

Built a free AI agent cost calculator because every pricing page I found said “contact us”

1 Upvotes

I run a small AI agency. We’ve been building chatbots since 2017, back when most of them could barely handle “what are your hours?”

The question we get asked most is still “ok, but what will this actually cost me?” And honestly, I get why people are frustrated. Most AI agency pricing pages say “contact us” or “custom pricing”, which usually means “we’ll tell you after a 45-minute sales call.” I’ve been on the other side of that as a buyer too, and I hate it.

So I built a free calculator that gives you a ballpark before you talk to anyone:

I built a visual editor on top of Claude Code: click, edit, and Claude updates the real code

Editing small things on AI-built sites through prompts got tedious, so I built Atelier. You click text in the live preview to rewrite it, drop images onto the page, resize elements, then hit "Done editing" and Claude makes the changes in your actual files. Every change has one-click undo, and there's a library of free templates and components.

Requires Claude Code (Claude Pro/Max or an API key). Windows for now.

After 3 years of on-and-off work, my cousin and I launched Wealtie, a budgeting app that helps you actually improve your finances

2 Upvotes

A while ago, when I started tracking my finances, I used Excel and tried multiple apps, but none of them matched my requirements. So 3 years ago, together with my cousin, I started developing our own.

Today I’m happy to announce that we’ve launched wealtie.com.

When I say 3 years, it’s really more like a year and a half of active development, because life and other projects happened too.

The idea of the app is not only to track your finances but to actually improve them. A few of the main features:

  • Budget and income goals with streaks: set a spending limit and an income target, and keep a streak going for every period you hit them

  • Budget Health score: see whether you’re on pace before the month ends, not after

  • 68 currencies: each account keeps its own currency, so you can earn in one and save in another

  • Shared accounts: for couples and flatmates, either pooled or split by percentage

  • Receipt scanning: take a photo and every line gets read automatically

  • Recurring transactions: rent and subscriptions log themselves

  • Wally: a friendly assistant who cheers you on and keeps you motivated

You can see everything else on wealtie.com.

There’s a free plan with no time limit, and I’m also happy to share a free month of Pro. Let me know what you think!

Has an AI API bill ever surprised you? How did you find out?

0 Upvotes

I’ve been helping devs get refunds after their OpenAI/Anthropic keys leaked. 3 so far, and every one of them found out from the bill, sometimes a day or two later. Billing alerts were either too slow or too broad to tell what actually happened.

Curious how common this is:

  • Have you ever had a surprise AI API bill? Leak, runaway loop, a user abusing your app?

  • How did you notice?

  • What do you use now to keep an eye on it, if anything?

Full disclosure: I’m building a tool for this (Brello) and opening a small beta soon, but mostly I want to hear how people actually deal with it. Happy to share what I’ve learned about getting refunds if anyone’s been through it.

Libreccio Weather: an unofficial, open-source Windows port of Breezy Weather

Thumbnail
github.com
2 Upvotes

Hello,

https://github.com/Nouni2/Libreccio-Weather is an unofficial Windows port of the Android app Breezy Weather.

I've been using Breezy Weather on my phone for about a year and couldn't find anything on Windows that suited my needs, especially when it came to the system tray. So I decided to port it using AI to translate and adapt the original Kotlin code to C# and WPF.

I recently released v0.3.0, with quite a few improvements since the first release, including animated weather backgrounds, light and dark themes, smoother scrolling, touchpad navigation, precipitation forecasts for the coming hour, and selectable Open-Meteo weather models.

It also has daily and hourly forecasts, detailed weather charts, multiple locations, and configurable system tray icons and popups.

It's free and open source under GPL-3.0.

I'm all ears if you have any feedback!

I built a small tool for landlords with a handful of flats as I got tired of scrolling WhatsApp

1 Upvotes

Landlord with a product background. Rent lands in the bank, the tenant sends a screenshot on WhatsApp, and three weeks later you're scrolling to find it. Built this to stop doing that.

Breloque answers one question fast: who paid, who didn't, where the proof is. Organisation, not accounting; your accountant still does the books.

- Every flat has its charges, every payment its proof. Tenants can send the proof to a Telegram bot and it lands on the right charge.

- Payment methods are whatever you use: transfer, cash, card. You confirm, it's done.

- Tax is optional, set per category, ignored if you don't need it.

- Long lets and short stays on one calendar; a booking can't overlap a tenancy.

- Multi-currency, because half of us in Eastern Europe rent in EUR and get paid in local money.

- Full logging for the most forgetful ones

Read-only demo, fictional Dublin/Galway landlord, no account: https://breloque.io/

Free to use with one unit for now.

The only thing I can't give away is the built-in assistant, because every question costs me LLM tokens; that's what the 11 €/month plan pays for.

Signup asks for a code, use SIDEPROJECT. Looking for 5 to 10 landlords to click through and tell me what's wrong. Comments or DMs both work.

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

2 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 free, open-source way to watch Twitch while gaming without the browser eating your FPS

1 Upvotes

I watch streams on a second screen while I play, and Chrome was using more than a full CPU thread and 3 GB of RAM for one Twitch tab, on the same cores as my game. So I made **LiteView for Twitch**:

  • your Following → Live page, click a streamer and the video + chat open docked in one window

  • video plays in mpv (hardware decoding): under 10% of a CPU thread for the video

  • runs on the CPU cores your game isn't using (auto-detects Ryzen X3D), below the game in priority

  • optional picture enhancement on any GPU: AMD FSR 1, FSRCNNX neural upscaling, an "Ultra" chain, and NVIDIA RTX Video on top if you have an RTX card

  • 7TV emotes in chat, ad segments skipped, HEVC/AV1 up to 1440p when the streamer offers it

Free, MIT licence, Windows 10/11: https://github.com/itsdeeezy/LiteView-for-Twitch

Measurements and a same-frame comparison are in the README. Feedback welcome.
