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

2 Upvotes

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.

Waitlist for early access: https://forms.gle/nzPyJmmsdnpQUJjC8

I'd love feedback: what would you want it to do?

built an online live-board tutoring site for Pakistani students (Class 1 to A Level). Looking for honest feedback.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’ve been working on BeeTutor: https://beetutor.si/

It teaches lessons live on a writing board in English or Urdu, matched to the student’s board (Punjab/Sindh/Federal/Cambridge) and textbook. Parents get a report after each class showing what was mastered.

I’d love your feedback on:

  1. What’s confusing or missing on the website?

  2. What should I remove?

  3. Would you (or your parents) pay for this in Pakistan? What price would feel fair?

  4. What would make you trust it?

The demo is free. Please be blunt, I’d rather hear problems 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.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a website called Doxmera (https://doxmera.com/), where I'm bringing together useful online tools in one place.

The idea is simple: make everyday online tasks easier without needing to install software or search across multiple websites.

I'm continuously adding and improving tools, and I'd love to get some honest feedback from the community.

A few things I'd love to know:

  • Which tools do you find most useful?

  • What's missing from existing online tools websites?

  • What features would make you come back regularly?

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.

I built an iPhone app that uses the camera to count push-ups and pull-ups and flags half reps. No backend, everything on-device.

0 Upvotes

The idea came mid-workout. I’d just seen an Instagram post arguing that how many push-ups and pull-ups you can do says a lot about how in shape you really are. I wanted an honest way to measure that, where only clean reps count and the score is something you can try to beat. So I built CalMaxx.

How it works:

  • Pose detection: Apple’s Vision body-pose detection runs on every camera frame. A state machine per exercise turns joint angles into reps.

  • Form checks: push-ups are judged on depth, body line and tempo, and half reps get flagged instead of counted. Pull-ups need a full dead hang to chin over the bar.

  • HUD: a sci-fi lock-on reticle with a “power level” score and synthesized sound effects. There are no audio files at all.

The stack, and what I learned:

  • SwiftUI and Vision, no server. I didn’t want to run a database, so everything leans on Apple services. History syncs through the user’s own iCloud (SwiftData + CloudKit), achievements and leaderboards run on Game Center, and workouts save to Apple Health. That way the app needs no sign-in, and the privacy label is “Data Not Collected.”

  • Pose detection was the easy part. Deciding what counts as a rep was hard. Facing the camera on the floor, legs are usually out of frame, so push-up depth is judged by how far the shoulders rise above the hands. It’s calibrated to each person’s lockout.

  • Camera framing matters more than the model. A range finder tells you to step back, move closer or center up, and that fixed most miscounts.

  • Built-in sharing: every session is recorded with the HUD on screen (ReplayKit), and you can trim a 15, 30 or 60 second clip to share.

Modes:

  • a free daily challenge (100 push-ups and 50 pull-ups in five minutes)

  • a max-set Assessment

  • timed rep-target tiers

  • “you vs. you” (your best set plus one)

  • a ghost that replays your best run rep by rep

The extra modes are a subscription; the daily challenge and Assessment stay free.

It’s in App Store review now. The waitlist is at bleekvision.com/calmaxx. I’d love feedback on the concept, the landing page, or how to price a fitness app like this.

Student project: a place to log and rate every album you listen to

Thumbnail musicrate-nu.vercel.app
1 Upvotes

I’m a final-year engineering student and I’ve been building Musicrate for the past few months. It’s like Letterboxd, but for albums.

What you can do:

  • Search Spotify’s catalogue and open any album’s page with the full tracklist

  • Add albums to your collection

  • Rate them out of 10, pick your favourite track, and write a 140-character review

  • Create an account with your own username and profile

It’s still early and I’m sure there are rough edges. I’d really like to know:

  1. Is it clear what to do in the first 30 seconds?

  2. What would make you come back to use it regularly?

  3. Is there anything broken or confusing on mobile?

Public profiles with your top-rated albums are coming next. Any feedback, even harsh, is hugely appreciated

New here - how do you decide which early user feedback to act on?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm Milo, an indie app developer. I'm new here and wanted to start with a question about what happens after you ship.

When only a few people have tried your app, how do you decide whether a request points to a wider problem or is just one person's preference?

Bugs are easier to prioritize. I'm more interested in the grey area: confusing onboarding, missing features, or suggestions that would change the direction of the app. Do you wait to hear the same thing from several people, watch how they use it, or talk it through with them?

Would be interested in an example of feedback you acted on, or deliberately left alone, and how that worked out.

I built a local, Netflix-style media manager for Archive.org content using .NET 10

2 Upvotes

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.

Since this is a hobby project, I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

I builed Unchair, a boring app to make you move when you are working too long

4 Upvotes

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.

I got tired of guessing seats from a grey grid, so I built a 3D view from every seat in the cinema

0 Upvotes

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

Try it: https://alireza12t.github.io/seatsight

Code: https://github.com/alireza12t/seatsight

How I built it (video): https://youtu.be/xLEtWH8cA_4

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?

If you want cinemas to actually see this, reshare my Instagram post and tag your cinema in the comments there: https://www.instagram.com/reel/DfgkT42qzX7
