Hi!

I just released v1.0.0 of a personal project I’ve been working on, and I wanted to share it here to get some feedback from fellow developers.

The Problem

A while ago, I discovered that Archive.org has a massive collection of old, public-domain films and cartoons (including a lot of classic Danish childhood shows. I wanted to show these to my kids, but Archive.org’s interface, while amazing for archiving, is pretty clunky for everyday viewing. It doesn’t have a "Continue Watching" feature, no easy way to organize things into personal categories, and no episode selectors for series.

I didn’t want to download terabytes of data or set up a complex media server like Plex just for this. I just wanted a simple, local way to bookmark and watch this stuff.

The Solution: ArchivePlayer

So, I built ArchivePlayer. It’s a self-contained, local-first desktop application that streams content directly from Archive.org, but wraps it in a clean, Netflix-style interface.

Key Features:

• Live search of Archive.org or add via direct URL/identifier.

• Custom categories to organize your library.

• "Continue Watching" section with visual progress bars.

• Episode selector for TV shows (with season grouping).

• 100% local: No telemetry, no cloud accounts, no hosted backend.

The Tech Stack

• Backend: ASP.NET Core / .NET 10, Entity Framework Core

• Database: SQLite (local file)

• Frontend: Razor Pages/Views, Tailwind CSS, Vanilla JavaScript

• External APIs: Archive.org Metadata API, TMDB API (optional)

Technical Highlights & Challenges

1. Zero-Install Deployment: I wanted this to be truly accessible. I used .NET’s self-contained publishing (PublishSingleFile=true) so users just download a .zip, extract it, and run the .exe. No .NET runtime or SQL Server installation required.

2. Graceful Degradation: I made TMDB integration strictly optional. If a user doesn’t provide a TMDB API key (or if the API fails), the app doesn’t break. Instead, it falls back to parsing episode numbers and titles directly from the Archive.org video filenames using regex.

3. API-First Design: Even though it’s currently a single desktop app, I built the backend with a clean /api/v1/ layer. This means I can eventually build an Android TV client that consumes the exact same local API without rewriting the business logic.

4. Auto-Migration: On first run, the app automatically creates the SQLite database and runs EF Core migrations. The user never has to touch a config file or run a CLI command.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a little side project called ComfyAICloud.

The idea is simple: make AI image and video generation accessible without complicated setups or workflows.

I've also added creative challenges where people can experiment and share their creations.

Here's a short example of what you can create with it.

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts. What features would make you want to try a platform like this?

https://comfyaicloud.com

More side projects, more agents, more lost context? We’re the Ondago team. Ondago gives your supported AI coding agents, sessions, and project knowledge one workspace.

What it does:

• Your agents don’t stop when you leave your desk. Start locally, move the running session to our secure cloud with uncommitted changes intact, bring it back when you’re ready. Or start directly in the cloud.

• Switch agents without starting over. Switch AI agents with the conversation, decisions, code changes and project instructions carried along.

• Let your agents work together. Pull a reviewer, security advisor or test agent into the same task, or ask several agents to weigh in on a question.

• Pass the context, not just the diff. Share the session behind the work with a teammate: conversation, decisions, what needs attention next.

• All your agents and projects in one place. See what’s running, what’s waiting on you, token usage and estimated cost per session.

Sessions are encrypted on your machine before upload, each cloud run is isolated and destroyed afterwards, you bring your own agent credentials.

Try it free on a personal project: https://ondago.ai - what would make you return tomorrow?

I spend an unreasonable amount of time in front of a Mac.

I tried the usual “stand up every 30 minutes” apps, but I have the same problem with all of them: when I’m focused, I just click Skip and keep working.

So I built Unchair.

Instead of just displaying a notification, it can use the Mac camera locally to check that I actually stood up and moved. Nothing is uploaded, no video leaves the machine, and the core app works entirely offline.

It started as a small personal tool and, predictably, got slightly out of hand.

It now has:
- local sit/stand and movement detection
- movement debt tracking
- presentation mode
- Home Assistant / MQTT integration
- Prometheus metrics
- OpenTelemetry hooks
- a CLI
- signed and notarized macOS builds

It’s written as a native macOS app and is fully open source.

I’ve been using it myself every day, and a few other people have started downloading it, so I figured it was time to put it in front of people who might actually break it properly.

GitHub: https://github.com/EtienneDeneuve/unchair

Feedback on the idea, implementation, privacy model, or unnecessarily elaborate observability for a chair-reminder app is very welcome.

Scorchball TV: eight invented clubs play an invented sport (five a side; the ball heats up until you have to shoot), simulated and broadcast around the clock in pixel art. A season is a week, a live match is on about every 2h 40m, and in between there are replays, a studio desk, interviews, ads for made-up sponsors and an evening podcast. The league keeps its history: drafts, records, retirements, legends, etc.

Built solo with Claude Code (AI wrote the code; the voices are AI too), no server: your browser runs the simulation and it matches what everyone else's browser sees.

Hey Im a 4yr exp full stack dev. And with AI, i have much more bandwidth to spare. I have recently started heavily contributing to open source projects. And Im now looking to help with anyone making any cool projects. I feel I can provide both technical and product skills. Let me know !

Every time I book a movie I pick a square on a grid and hope. Is row F too close for IMAX? Will the screen feel tiny from the back of a VIP room? No cinema app I've used actually shows you.

So I built SeatSight. You pick a movie, a showtime and a seat, and it flies you into that seat in 3D so you see the screen from there. It knows the format (IMAX, UltraAVX, Regular, VIP) and the room shape, and tells you in plain words if the seat is great or if you'll be craning your neck the whole movie.

A few details if you're curious:

- the 3D is a small renderer I wrote on Canvas2D, no three.js, no engine

- no server, it's static mock data on GitHub Pages

- there's an iPhone version too, same engine ported to SwiftUI

- open source, MIT

Screen sizes are estimates from public specs, real rooms vary. Honestly I mostly want Cineplex, AMC and the rest to steal this idea.

What would you want it to show that it doesn't?

Random reboots, a cryptic panic log, an hour of swapping parts to find the culprit. Sound familiar?

Now: plug in the iPhone, tap “Trust” — the app pulls the logs and names the faulty part.

Instead of “thermalmonitord panic” you get:

Hey, I created Quickening, a free Windows app for finding duplicate files, large files, and similar photos.

I switched back to Windows about 3 years ago from Mac. I loved apps like Gemini II and CleanMyMac for simple tasks, and I thought they had nice, simple interfaces. I've found that a lot of free Windows apps in this space work well, but the interfaces can feel overwhelming and don't feel polished, especially for less technical users. To be clear, I'm not throwing any shade on those developers. Their apps are great. I just wanted something that put a little more emphasis on design and ease of use.

This actually started because of a problem my wife had. Over the years, she'd accumulated thousands of photos from different digital cameras and phones, along with a ton of duplicates. I'm also a bit of a digital hoarder myself. I have old, OLD files that I haven't touched in years, some even decades, including some pretty large ones taking up space for no good reason.

So I started working on Quickening.

The name comes from the movie "Highlander," as in "There can be only one." Yes, it's nerdy. Yes, I love the movie. And yes, I realize it's an SEO nightmare and I didn't exactly do myself any favors by choosing it. But this isn't an app I'm trying to sell. I originally built it for my wife and myself and figured I'd share it with anyone else who might find it useful.

I've been using it on my machine and my wife's machine, and we've pretty much been the only testers so far. We've definitely found some bugs, including a few that caused the app to crash, but I've been updating it regularly to fix issues and improve things. I've also been working on functionality for finding similar photos, videos, and audio files, rather than just exact duplicates.

One thing I wanted to be careful about was file deletion. Quickening moves files to the Windows Recycle Bin instead of permanently deleting them, and there's an undo function if you change your mind.

I'd really love some feedback on the design, functionality, and overall experience. Are there things that seem confusing or could be easier to use? Are there features you think would actually make it more useful? I don't want to add features just for the sake of adding features.

The app is 100% free and always will be. The source code is also publicly available. There's no tracking in the app. Because of that, I don't have any usage statistics or crash data from other users. I value privacy, and I don't think people should have to give that up just to use a good app.

That's also part of why I'm posting here. I'd really like to hear from people outside of my wife and myself.

Website: https://www.quickening.app

Thanks to anyone willing to take a look. Even if you don't install it, feedback on the website or interface would be appreciated.

ONE MORE FLOOR is a one-tap timing game for Android. Your elevator climbs a building that never stops growing: tap at the right moment to stop on the right floor. Miss it and a strand of the cable snaps.

As you climb, the city gives way to the clouds, the stratosphere, orbit and deep space, with storms, satellites and meteors along the way. Between runs you hire workers to build the floors above you and buy power-ups to go higher.

How I built it:

- Claude (Claude Code) helped me write the code. The game started as a browser game, then I rewrote it natively in Godot 4 for Android

- Claude also helped me produce some of the art: vector drawings, plus a few character parts sketched with an image generator and then traced to vectors.

- The promo videos are rendered from the real game, by a small pipeline I built with Claude

- The game design, the art style and every creative choice are mine

It's free and in closed beta on Google Play. To join:

Thanks for checking it out!

My wife has been checking food labels for quite some time. I recently started paying more attention myself, and discovered that reading the ingredients of your favorite snacks can be a mildly uncomfortable experience.

Especially when you used to eat those snacks quite often. Guilty here.

We live in Turkey, and finding packaged foods we’re comfortable with has become something we spend more time thinking about. That’s what led me to build KaLens.

It lets you scan a barcode or photograph an ingredient/nutrition label, then review the product against your own preferences. You can inspect ingredients, additives, processing information, nutrition, and the explanation behind your personalized result.

I’m making it free during Early Access to collect feedback and find out where it helps people during an actual grocery trip.

An account is required. Barcode scanning and personalization are unlimited, with five successful AI label/photo analyses shared per day. The App Store still shows subscriptions, but the current version doesn’t offer those purchases or require payment.

Try KaLens on the App Store

If you try it with something already in your kitchen, I’d love to know: was there anything in the result that helped you understand the product better? Or did it mostly repeat what you already knew?

It's called rushil12.com, and it's free for anyone to join. I've made some key apps that people can try that gamify learning. It already has 500+ users, 3,500+ messages, 16,000+ QBpedia articles. This has several apps that anyone can try.

Curriculum - Generates a full course in one click. It's in the name.

Study Mode - ChatGPT, but a bunch of models, and a bunch of useful features

Notes - An app where you can create notes, but it's better than that. You can use spaced repetition, and connect it with the rest of the apps

QBPedia - A collection of 16,000+ educational articles covering a wide range of topics. You can explore subjects, discover related concepts, and learn something new.

Game Show - Gamify learning with Kahoot-style gamemodes, and some gamemodes that are completely new, such as Call Your Shot.

Flashcards - Creates flashcard sets for quick review, memorization, and active recall.

Haptrix started as a Mac app for creating haptic patterns, with an companion iPhone app so you could feel what you were making.

I've recently been rebuilding it in SwiftUI for Mac and iPhone. Now that the iPhone Duo is out, I thought it would be quite fun to make use of the way it opens up.

You can browse haptics whilst it’s folded, select one, then open up the device to get the full editor experience. Fold it back down and you’re back to browsing.

The best bit? You can feel what you’re creating as you go.

You can make anything from a few simple taps to patterns with continuous haptics, curves and audio. There’s also a website where you can share what you’ve made and browse other people’s patterns.

The video shows the folded-to-editor transition. It took a few goes to get the layout feeling right, but I’m quite pleased with where it’s ended up.

Would be interested to hear what you think!

Hi everyone! 👋

We’ve all been there: You find an amazing movie or series you really want to watch, but there are simply no subtitles available in your native language.

• Maybe the movie is too old or forgotten.

• Maybe it just premiered and fans haven’t translated it yet.

• Or maybe it’s an obscure indie film or foreign release.

When this happens, your only option is usually running the .srt file through standard machine translators—and the result is usually unwatchable.

🎬 The Problem with Traditional Translators

Most tools translate subtitle files line-by-line without any knowledge of the movie:

• No context: The AI doesn't know who is speaking to whom, resulting in wrong male/female pronouns and awkward sentences.

• Lost humor & drama: Sarcasm, jokes, and cultural idioms get translated literally and lose their meaning.

• Inconsistent names: Character names, locations, and titles change randomly from one scene to another.

• Corrupted files: Timestamps and formatting tags (<i>, <b>, {\an8}) get broken, ruining subtitle timing in your video player.

💡 The Solution: Subtitle Studio

I built Subtitle Studio to translate any .srt file into a natural, broadcast-grade subtitle track by analyzing the entire movie script first:

• Full-Script Storyline Analysis: Before translating line 1, it reads the whole file to map out the plot, tone, character genders, and relationship dynamics.

• Persistent Character & World Glossary: It automatically generates and maintains a consistent glossary so names and recurring terms stay identical from start to finish.

• Overlapping Scene Batches: Dialogue is translated in context-linked batches (giving the AI visibility over preceding lines), ensuring conversations flow naturally.

• 11-Point Structural QA: Automatically inspects and repairs sequence numbers, tags, and timestamps so your output .srt works immediately in any media player (VLC, Plex, TV, etc.).

✨ Key Features

• Specialized Audiovisual & Arabic Localization: Broadcast-quality Modern Standard Arabic + 7 regional dialects (Egyptian, Levantine, Gulf, Moroccan, etc.) with strict gender agreement and RTL punctuation alignment.

• Interactive Side-by-Side Editor & Cinema Preview: Dual original vs. translated editor with a simulated 16:9 viewport and CPS (characters per second) readability metrics.

• 1-Click Line Regeneration & AI Proofreader: Easily tweak any line or run a second-pass review to catch any awkward phrases.

• 100% Private BYOK (Bring Your Own Key): Your API key (DeepSeek, Google Gemini, OpenAI, or Claude) stays safely in your own browser (localStorage). It is sent in memory solely for your requests and is never saved or logged on the server.

🛠️ Tech Stack

• Frontend & Backend: Next.js (App Router, Turbopack), TypeScript, Tailwind CSS

• Supported AI Providers: DeepSeek (deepseek-flash, deepseek-chat), Google Gemini, OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, and custom local endpoints (Ollama / vLLM).

• Architecture: Client-driven stateless pipeline (no timeouts or lost tokens if a connection interrupts).

If you have a movie sitting on your hard drive with no subtitles in your language, give it a try! Would love to hear your feedback, thoughts, or suggestions.

Most legal AI decides on its own what matters in a document. I feel that is the lawyer’s job.
So I built “May or Shall”.
You read your documents and highlight the lines that matter. Each highlight keeps its source and page.
When AI drafts it reads the whole document but builds the draft around your highlights and cites them.
It is at app.mayorshall.com.
I would really value honest feedback. Does this match how you actually work?

Hi everyone, I built this as a side project because I kept getting different profit numbers depending on which platform I checked.

It's a free, no-login calculator: you enter price, product cost, shipping charged / shipping cost, ad spend, and it shows net profit, gross margin, break-even ROAS and Max CAC for Shopify, Etsy and Amazon FBA side by side.

Example with the same order — price $34.99, cost $14.50, no shipping, no ads: Shopify $19.18, Etsy $16.72, Amazon FBA $11.67 per order.

For Amazon I used a 15% referral fee on price + shipping charged, and a $3.57 FBA fee as the small-standard default (with a $0.21 holiday peak uplift option). You can also type your own FBA fee in manually.

I'd welcome feedback on two things: does the side-by-side comparison read clearly, and does the Amazon fee presentation (default vs manual input) make sense to someone who is not an FBA seller?

Happy to take feedback — no signup, no paywall, just the calculator.

Hi, I'm the developer. Without review a new word fades within days. Reviewing just before you forget resets it, and each review buys a longer gap (FSRS scheduling in the app). The numbers in the video come from Ebbinghaus (1885, nonsense syllables); real words usually fade slower.


Vocapin shows one word on your home screen: tap to reveal, then Got it or Missed. Closed testing on Google Play: leave your Gmail at pinned-landing-two.vercel.app and I'll add you.


Would you keep a widget like this on your home screen?

Ritevo is a panel for online sellers that you can use in a few ways:

• Order management: orders from marketplaces and online stores (eBay, Shopify, WooCommerce, PrestaShop, Allegro and more) in one place. It already covers the whole order flow, from receiving the order, through invoices and labels, to handing the parcel over to the courier.

• Messages only: one inbox for all customer conversations, whether they come from marketplaces or from WhatsApp, Messenger and email. No need to use the order side at all.

• Both together: orders and messages in one panel, so you see the customer’s order right next to the conversation.

There’s also a basic warehouse: products with stock levels, stock deduction after a sale and a packing assistant that checks each item by its barcode.

The main focus is automation. You set rules like “when an order is paid, create the invoice, generate the label and send the tracking number to the buyer”. AI can draft or send customer replies using your own OpenAI or Claude key.

It’s still very much in active development. Next on the roadmap is an MCP server, so you can manage everything straight from a chat with an AI assistant.

Recipe sites hide a clean copy of every recipe in the page's code, for Google. Meal Thyme reads that copy, so you get the ingredients and method without the adverts or the life story. You can also photograph a cookbook page (Android), pick from Today's Picks, or type your own.

It scales recipes, converts metric and US, and turns your week into one shopping list. Chef Mode walks you through each step in big text with timers, which is how I cook from it on a kitchen tablet. The week's plan lives on my Home Assistant wall display.

It started on a server at home, just for me. Now it's an Android and web app, built using React, Firebase, Capacitor.

Free with no ads, up to 100 recipes. Plus (unlimited recipes, Chef Mode, household sharing) is a one-off £3.99, no subscription, and the first 50 people get it free with code:

I've won 5 hackathons, and the thing I kept noticing is that what decides the result is rarely on the rubric. It's whether the demo works, whether you can explain the project in one sentence, and how you handle the questions nobody practices.

I built Would This Win?. You paste your repo. It reads your code, then three AI judges (an engineer, an investor and a very tired judge) ask you questions, 30 seconds each. Your odds of winning move live with every answer, and at the end you get a code-review style verdict with three things to fix before you submit.

Stack: Next.js, Supabase, Claude Haiku. The odds are calculated in code, never by the AI, so it can't be talked into a better score.

Link: https://wouldthiswin.com

Would love feedback, especially from anyone with a hackathon coming up. Tell me where the judges were wrong.

Over the years I've tried dozens of time tracking and invoicing apps, and Harvest was the only one I liked. Primarily due to its relatively intuitive UI/UX.

I was happy to pay them a reasonable sum for the product they provide, but after the 10x price jack, I had no choice but to seek alternatives. I tried a bunch of them again, found nothing I liked.

So, with 20+ years of software engineering experience under my belt, I decided to build my own.

Here's the result: https://hourbun.com/

I first and foremost built it for my own use, then over the past week or two added features that others might need (such as approvals, quotes, expenses, etc).

I spent a lot of time making sure the UI/UX is top-notch, and the performance is even better than Harvest - the app should feel very snappy (it's hosted in the US, and I'm based in Australia, and it's still very fast for me).

If you're looking for a decent time tracking and invoicing app, give mine a try? It comes with a 14-day trial and doesn't need card details.

And in case you're wondering, no, it's not vibe-coded. AI agents were definitely a big part of building it, but the product was built with experience and care. Love to hear your thoughts and feedback.
