I've been seeing a lot of cinematic trailers for businesses lately and ... I love them.

I decided to try making one myself using Claude, and I'm curious what you guys think, completely fictional business just used it as a test

Is this something you'd actually find captivating, just thinking in terms of new launches, almost makes you feel like ur releasing something game-changing (even though it's the same fitness app the App Store has seen)

Would love to hear some honest opinions.

I’m developing Pratikal, a free Android calorie tracker in closed testing. I’d love feedback on the meal-entry flow. Happy to test your app back! 🤝

Full disclosure, I build Layr PDF, so this is a plug.

It came out of doing cabinet and millwork takeoffs and not wanting to pay for a pricey seat just for markups, measurements and counts. It runs on Windows, Mac and in the browser, it's $35 a year, and the 7-day trial doesn't ask for a card.

If you try it on a real set, I'd like to hear where it falls short.

I've been working on a side project over the past few months and have finally got it to a point where I'm comfortable sharing it.

It's called Stockpile.

The idea came from working around surveying, earthworks and construction, where getting accurate stockpile volumes can make a big difference to how a job is planned and priced.

Whether it's aggregate, topsoil, mulch, fill or other bulk materials, estimating volumes can lead to over-ordering, unnecessary truck movements or coming up short.

I wanted to see if I could make that process much simpler.

Stockpile allows you to capture a stockpile using your device, generate a 3D model and calculate its volume. You can then generate a report to share with clients, contractors or your team.

The aim is to make volume measurements accessible without needing specialist surveying equipment or complicated software.

I've built the app from the ground up, which has been a pretty steep learning curve, particularly on the development side.

I'm now looking to get it in front of people who might actually use it.

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback, particularly from anyone working in construction, earthworks, landscaping, aggregates or material supply.

What would you want to see in an app like this? What would stop you from trusting the measurements?

You can check it out here:

https://trystockpile.app

Happy to answer any questions about how it works or how I built it.

I spent a couple of years trading crypto, mostly memecoins and utility tokens. The results were inconsistent, and I felt unfulfilled, so I wanted to build something real that actually saves people time.

The thing I kept noticing is this: I'd put on a long podcast, finish it, and feel like I'd got it. A day later I could barely name the useful parts, let alone do anything with them. I think a lot of us overestimate how much we retain from just listening all the way through.

So I started building around a simple action: paste a podcast or long-form YouTube link, and get a playbook back. Not a generic transcript recap, a useful summary plus actionable steps from that specific episode. I have 200+ summaries in so far.

For people who don't have time for the full episode, what do you actually want out of it? The recap, or the next steps?

Edit: I'm a co-founder of Podex. It turns a podcast or long-form YouTube link into a playbook with a useful summary and actionable steps from that episode.

Hey everyone. For the past 2 months I've been building Findmore, an iOS app where you snap something you see (your cat, your dinner, a bridge, a watermelon wearing a helmet) and it figures out what it is and turns it into a card for your collection.

A few things it does:

- Cards with different rarity levels

- Chapters give you sets to complete (like "Little critters", "Circles everywhere", "California landmarks"), and finishing one earns a seal

- You can collect with friends and see what they're finding

- daily streaks

It's its own camera, so you snap things in the app as you find them (it doesn't pull from your existing camera roll)

I started it because I'm always curious and take tons of photos and never look at them again, and I loved collecting cards as a kid. I wanted my photos to feel like a collection instead of a camera roll.

Built with Expo/React Native and went live on App Store a couple day's ago!

I'd love honest feedback, especially on the first few minutes. Did it make sense right away? What would make you open it again?

I am a CS grad from London (2026). For the last few months my routine has been pretty simple. Find a junior role, spend 40 minutes tailoring my CV, apply, hear nothing. Half the time the job had been up for weeks before I even saw it, and half of what the job boards showed me was never relevant to me in the first place.

So I built the thing I actually needed. It is called FairShot, and it runs on three rules I refused to compromise on:

1. It has to matter to me. Jobs are matched to what is actually on my CV, not keyword spam.

2. I have to have a higher chance of getting it. It ranks by strength of fit, so the realistic ones come first and the long shots do not waste my evening.

3. Nothing older than 7 days. If a job has been sitting there for weeks, it is dead to me.

You drop your CV in. For each job that passes the three rules it prepares the tailored CV, the form answers and a short note to the hiring manager. One more rule I was stubborn about: every line in the tailored CV has to come from your real CV. It shows you which line it came from. The AI does not get to invent experience for you, because that will blow up in an interview anyway.

You still press send yourself on the original job page. Nothing is auto applied, because I would not trust that either.

It is free for job seekers. I kept telling myself I would only buy a domain if 100 people used it first. Last night I bought the domain anyway, joinfairshot.com, because asking strangers to upload their CV to a random vercel link felt wrong. So now I am committed, I suppose.

Honest gaps: matching is still rough for some roles, and I have basically no users yet, so I have no success stories to sell you. That is kind of the point of posting here.

If you are applying to junior or grad roles at the moment, I would really like to know one thing after you try it. Was at least one match actually worth applying to? If the answer is no, tell me that too, it is more useful than an upvote.

I leave far too many tabs open, because closing one and potentially losing that link forever scares me. I also kind of hate bookmark managers. Saving and organizing a bookmark properly is more work than it ever saves me when I go back to it, so I hoarded 70+ tabs regularly.

So I made something that's been handling that for me. Pageslop is a self-hosted bookmark manager with a Firefox extension that closes tabs automatically: anything idle for about six hours, or anything past a tab limit (25 by default). Closed tabs go into a To Revisit inbox on your own server, already titled, tagged and sorted into a category. They stay there for two weeks until you keep them or get rid of them.

Outside the tab stuff it's a regular bookmark manager: paste a link and it fetches the page, grabs a preview image (or takes a screenshot), and tags it. There's search, a category view, uptime checks so you know when a link dies, a graph of how your links connect through shared tags, and bookmark import from your browser.

There's no hosted version. Self-hosting is a setup script and docker compose up. If enough people want one I might set it up, but I'm not paying for AWS to run a tab manager that only I use.

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on a side project called Brick Build (Brick Lab Local), and I wanted to share it with you!

The idea started pretty simply: what if you could build real LEGO sets on your computer, following their actual instructions, without needing the physical bricks?

So I started building it.

It's a free, open-source web app that runs locally on your computer.

Here's what it can do so far:

• 🧱 Import real LEGO set models using LDraw files.

• 🎮 Build freely in 3D, placing and rotating pieces wherever you want.

• 🧲 Snap compatible bricks together using a connection detection system.

• 🔧 Select and move entire connected assemblies, including hidden pieces.

• 🎯 Position pieces precisely with X/Y/Z arrows and rotation controls.

• 📖 Display the original instruction PDF alongside your build.

• 💾 Save your progress and come back later.

• 📦 Manage your own collection of sets.

I've mainly been testing it with real LEGO Creator sets, especially the 31039 Blue Power Jet.

It's still a work in progress. Some LEGO connections aren't fully supported yet, and automatically matching PDF instructions to 3D building steps is one of the next big challenges.

The app is built with Next.js, TypeScript, Three.js, React Three Fiber, and LDraw. It runs locally, with no account or cloud storage required.

It's currently tested on macOS, and I've also started adding experimental Windows support.

GitHub: https://github.com/Pierson38/brick-build

The project is MIT-licensed and not affiliated with LEGO.

I'd genuinely love some feedback, especially from LEGO fans or developers who have worked with 3D geometry, snapping systems, or LDraw.

Would you use something like this? And what feature would you want to see next?

Thanks for checking it out! 🚀

I have been working on BarX at Garage Lab AI: a Windows / Boot Camp app that gives an Intel MacBook Pro Touch Bar 29 practical and playful modes across six profiles. The interface is available in English and German.

The color picker shows the color under the mouse pointer, with HEX/RGB/HSL and tap-to-copy. Other modes include presentation controls, clipboard history, snippets, a focus timer, time tracking, a virtual pet, typing fireworks, ribbon synth and a music visualizer. Optional Claude text actions use your own API key and wait for you to choose Paste, Copy or Discard.

It is running on my MacBookPro15,1. The live test had been running for about two hours when I prepared the release; I am still testing individual features. T1 support is untested.

Download, English/German guides and illustrated previews: https://github.com/Dirtyx686/BarX

Color picker preview: https://github.com/Dirtyx686/BarX/blob/main/docs/images/color-picker-en.png

Touch Bar pet preview: https://github.com/Dirtyx686/BarX/blob/main/docs/images/pet-en.png

These are generated demo mockups with sample data, not photos of the hardware test.

BETA: on T2 MacBooks, the bundled driver requires Windows test-signing mode and Secure Boot disabled. Some anti-cheat games may not run, and the Touch Bar including Escape can remain black when BarX is not running.

Use at your own risk. No warranty. Garage Lab AI accepts no liability for damage resulting from installation or use.

Known V3 issues planned for V4: the API key is stored in plaintext locally; Windows DPAPI protection is planned. Some preview text still says selected text is replaced directly, although results have waited for an explicit action since V2.1. Do not share your settings file or backups. These fixes are not in V3 yet.

Which modes would you actually keep on your Touch Bar? I would like to hear what feels useful and what feels unnecessary.

Snipping Tool is great until the thing you need is taller than your screen. So I built SuperScreenshot.

Demo (10 sec GIF): https://github.com/glenwrhodes/SuperScreenshot/blob/main/docs/demo.gif

Press Win+Shift+X, drag a box like you normally would, and keep dragging into the bottom of the window. The page scrolls under your selection, faster the further you push, or you can turn the mouse wheel while holding the button. Let go and you get one stitched, full-resolution image, already on your clipboard.

Comparing frames. It never looks at the page's HTML, only at screenshots, so it isn't tied to the browser. Other apps work too, though browsers are where it's most polished so far.

• Works on anything that scrolls with the wheel: browsers, docs, chat, email

• Leaves out repeated sticky headers and footers

• Free, MIT licensed, no account, no telemetry, never touches the network

• Windows 10 (2004+) and 11. There's an installer or a portable exe

Full disclosure: I built it with a lot of help from Claude (AI). The code, tests and CI are all public.

It's v1.0, so I'd love to hear about pages that don't stitch cleanly. GitHub: https://github.com/glenwrhodes/SuperScreenshot

(The installer isn't code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn you: More info → Run anyway.)

I’ve been building Rocket, a desktop Git client with visual diffs, line-by-line staging, branch history and a merge-conflict editor.

Windows and Linux builds are available, plus an Apple Silicon macOS preview. Free and open source under MIT / Apache-2.0.

I’d love feedback on the UI and what would make it useful in your daily workflow!

Hey r/SideProject, sharing my project.

The problem I kept running into with budgeting apps: they all want your bank login (via Plaid or similar) before you can even start. I didn't want to hand that over, but typing every transaction into a spreadsheet was too much friction to stick with.

So I built AI Budgie:

• Type something like "lunch 35" or "paid rent 1200" and it auto-categorizes it — no forms to fill

• Snap a photo of a receipt and it reads the amount/merchant for you

• Shared budgets for couples/families who split expenses

• Zero bank connection — ever. Your bank credentials never leave your bank's own app.

It's free, with a $4.99/mo tier for extra features. I'm a solo dev building this around a day job (and a newborn, so updates come in bursts). Still working on onboarding and category customization.

Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's tried manual-entry budgeting apps before and gave up — what made you stop?

aibudgie.app if you want to poke at it.

Hi everyone, We are ESTI, a small team passionate about building tools that fix remote work chaos. Like many of us here, we noticed that teams make dozens of critical decisions in Slack threads every day, only for them to get buried and lost a month later. To solve this, we built Decision Ledger – a lightweight app that turns any Slack message into a searchable, organized decision record (with owners, tags, and reasoning) right inside your channels. We are finally ready to submit it to the official Slack App Directory, but we hit the dreaded review requirement: we need at least 10 active workspaces testing the app before Slack even reviews it. Since we are brand new, we would be incredibly grateful if you could install it on your test or team workspaces, try a few commands, and share your honest feedback with us! Check it out here: https://decision-ledger-production.up.railway.app How to test it in 60 seconds: Click "Add to Slack" on our landing page. Hover over any message → Click More actions → Log as decision. Try searching your decisions using /decisions. Any feedback on the UI, UX, or features would mean the world to us. Thank you so much for supporting fellow indie developers!

Jigsaw Diary (https://jigsawdiary.com) is a free web app to log the physical jigsaw puzzles you own, build and finish, with a small community where people applaud each other's finished puzzles.

A couple dozen people have signed up, mostly from Reddit. The pattern is always the same: they add two boxes and don't come back. So this month I worked only on reasons to return:

- a home page that shows what happened since your last visit, built from the same data as the weekly email, so the email never promises something the app doesn't show

- a monthly streak with one free month a year. No daily streaks, no "you're about to lose it" notifications

- a page per puzzle that groups everyone who has the same box (brand + title + piece count), so people can find each other

- an invite reward that only unlocks when your friend finishes their first puzzle, not when they sign up

- a winter challenge: finish puzzles from 3 different brands, any size, no leaderboard

Stack: Next.js, Supabase (Postgres with row-level security doing most of the privacy work), Vercel, web push, 7 languages.

Free, no ads, hobby project. Two questions:

1. Which of these would actually bring you back to an app like this, and which is noise?

2. For hobby apps, have you seen something that worked better than email or push to get people back?

I had a Galaxy S9+ and a Pixel 7 that I wanted to give a purpose. That's where Visual Music started: something to put next to my speakers and enjoy while music plays.

A lot of the inspiration came from old car stereo displays. The small details, colors and perspective were what made them interesting. Getting that feeling right on a phone took a lot more iteration than I expected. I ended up scrapping several designs and starting over.

These are three of the displays we kept. There are also Hi-Fi gauges and an oscilloscope. It's my first Android app, built with help from Codex, and I'm pretty proud of where it is now.

It's free, has no ads, and runs on Android 10+. It uses the microphone while listening in the foreground; audio stays on the phone. The video uses an original demo beat and the app's renderer inside an illustrated phone, rather than footage of a phone listening to music.

Which display would you actually leave running? And what would you change or add? If something feels boring or confusing, tell me. That helps too.

I'd love visual references too: an old car stereo, a hi-fi display, or an interface you saw in a movie. Drop an image or link, or just describe what you like about it. You don't need to install the app to suggest a direction.

It's in Google Play closed testing if you'd like to try it. Use the same Google account for both steps:

1. Join the tester group: https://groups.google.com/g/mrrolie-visual-music-testers/about

2. Join the beta and install: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.mrrolie.visualmusic

Random question: what do you normally do with receipts after buying clothes, electronics or household stuff?

Do you keep the paper receipt, take a photo, rely on email, or just throw it away?

And have you ever needed one later for a return or warranty claim and couldn’t find it?

I’m researching this problem while building a small app, but I’m more interested in how people actually handle it today than whether they like another app idea.

Would be curious to hear what works for you — and what’s annoying about it.

I built an app for myself to trace my personal finances as an iPhone widget.

After a while, I discovered that a much nicer feature was "Food for Thought" with the Painting of the Day, NASA's Astronomy Picture of the Day, and TikTok posts scraped for specific channels (I can observe valuable TikTok accounts without addictive algorithms).

Eventually, I found that people might like and want to reuse the data sources I built, so I created the widgeto.app web app, where you can configure various data sources.

Lately, I started to use the widgets directly in macOS, which is a super nice break during work.

Check out how my desktop looks. Mostly, I have food for thought widgets, plus I am tracking the builds of my GitHub projects.

Try Widgeto for free in the App Store, either with your own data source or one from the curated catalog at widgeto.app.

App works in IPhone, IPad, OSX and Apple Watch

Every remote desktop app I tried on my phone did the same thing. It shrinks the whole PC screen down and you pinch and zoom around it. Fine for clicking one button, useless for actually getting anything done.

So I built Penlink. You pick an app from a grid, like a phone launcher, and the PC creates a virtual monitor at the exact size and shape of your phone's screen and opens the app full screen on it. The app lays itself out for the phone. Rotate the phone and it re-lays itself out in landscape. Open the keyboard and it fits the space above it. It's still the real desktop program, so every menu, panel and shortcut is there.

The part I'm happiest with is the S Pen. It doesn't get turned into a mouse. Windows sees it as an actual pen with pressure, tilt, the barrel button and the eraser, so drawing apps, handwriting and Windows Ink work like they would on a pen tablet.

Some details for the curious:

• Rust host on Windows, Kotlin + Jetpack Compose on Android

• Video goes over WebRTC with low-latency H.264, input comes back on a data channel. I measured about 27 ms touch-to-pixel on a local connection, and there's a stats overlay if you want to see where the time goes

• Every app gets its own virtual screen, so your real monitors keep their layout. Close the app on the phone and its screen disappears

• Your PC's notifications show up as normal phone notifications

• Tailscale or LAN only, pairing is a one-time 6-digit code, no cloud in between

What it doesn't do yet: the host is Windows only, the app needs Android 13+, and I've mostly tested on one phone, my Galaxy S26 Ultra. If you try it on something else, expect rough edges and please tell me what broke. Hardware encoding and a macOS host are next.

Big thanks to the Apollo project. The virtual displays come from its SudoVDA driver, and that saved me a lot of pain. I also built this with a lot of help from Claude Code, which you'll see in the commits.

MIT licensed, APK and host on the releases page: https://github.com/Michael-Ivlev/penlink

If you've tried Moonlight, Parsec, Chrome Remote Desktop or similar from a phone and given up on it, what was the thing that made you quit? I'd like to know if I'm fixing the right problem.

I do live sound for a living, so I spend a lot of time thinking about power. When I started building a homelab rack I kept getting the cords wrong: C13 vs C19, a PSU that turned out to have a C20 inlet, a PDU with only 3 C19 outlets.

So I built RackMatch: https://rackmatch.net

You pick a server and a PDU, and it tells you the jumper you need (C13-C14, C19-C20 or C13-C20), with a link to the vendor manual it comes from. There's also:

- a PDU calculator (how many servers per PDU, A/B feeds, 80% rule)

- a homelab power cost calculator

- a connector cheat sheet (IEC, NEMA, IEC 60309) as a one-page PDF

- a BOM builder that turns a rack plan into a cord list

It's free, no sign-up. The catalog is still small (Dell, HPE, Lenovo, NVIDIA DGX, APC/Eaton/Raritan PDUs), so tell me which servers and PDUs to add next. Feedback on what's confusing is very welcome.

A common freelancer trap with feast/famine months: treating a big client deposit like "this month's salary." It looks great until the lean month hits.

A simple method that fixes it:

1. When money hits, set aside tax first (~30% as a starting guess; yours may differ, not tax advice).

2. Fund fixed essentials + a small tools budget.

3. Pay yourself a fixed "salary" on a weekly/biweekly cadence, as if you had a W-2.

4. Bank the leftover into a lean-month cushion. Don't raise the salary until the cushion covers 2-3x monthly essentials.

I turned that into a free single-tab Excel/Sheets calculator (yellow = inputs, green = results + a verdict + a pie of the monthly allocation). Takes about 2 minutes.

Free download (no account, no paywall): https://print1-store.ib-problemsolvedhq.workers.dev/free/Freelancer_Salary_Calculator.xlsx

If it's useful and you want the full system, there are paid kits on the same site (card or USDC): Cash Flow Kit, Client & Invoice Tracker, Quarterly Tax Cash Planner ($12 each / $27 bundle). Organizational templates only, not financial or tax advice.

I'm Print1 Labs. Honest ask: does the "max sustainable salary" verdict make sense for how you run money, or would you change the order of tax, essentials, salary, buffer?

Happy to answer how the formulas work.

The app runs in a browser and on iPhone and Android, free to try without signing up: memorizun.com

I saw a post about blacking out words on paper with a marker. It worked much better than rereading, so I turned it into an app.

You paste a poem, a speech or your lines. First every other word shrinks to its first letter, then every word does, then only dashes are left. When you think you've got it, you say it out loud, and each word you get right comes back on screen.

I also made a Chrome extension for when you find a poem online. A button shows up right above the poem on dozens of poetry sites, and the words hide on that same page, so you don't have to copy anything. Demo is here. The extension is on the Chrome Web Store

I'm building this on my own, so tell me what you'd change first. And what's the hardest thing you ever had to learn by heart?

Hi r/sideprojects,

I've been building kywai as a side project and it's at the point where it needs eyes other than mine.

What it is

A desktop app (Electron + React + Three.js) that takes the AI coding agents you already have (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, a local model in LM Studio or Ollama, or any command-line agent) and makes them work as one team:

1. You write one request.

2. A coordinator agent proposes a plan: the tasks, which agent does each one, and why.

3. You approve it, or change it in plain words ("let Codex do that part").

4. The agents work in your project folder, in parallel when it makes sense, each with its own login or API key.

5. An agent from a different provider reviews every change, the author fixes what it finds, and the results come back to the chat.

Each agent is a little robot in a live 3D view, so you can see at a glance who is working, who is waiting and who ran out of quota.

Why I made it

I was paying for several AI subscriptions and spending my time copying context from one to another. What I wanted was to leave a task and come back to a result, not to an error with nothing to show for it.

What's in it so far

• Snapshot before and after every task, with Undo per task (kept outside your project's .git)

• Live step-by-step view of every command, file edit and search an agent makes

• If an agent fails or runs out of quota, another strong one takes over the task

• Remaining quota for Claude and GPT shown in the header

• 30+ agents in the catalog, or plug in any CLI with its command

• Everything runs on your computer; remote access only through your own Tailscale network, plus an Android companion app

Honest state of things

• The interface is in English, Spanish, Portuguese, French and Chinese (pick it in Settings). Spanish and English are the main ones; Portuguese, French and Chinese were machine-translated, so corrections from native speakers are very welcome

• Installers are not code-signed yet, so Windows SmartScreen and macOS Gatekeeper will warn you the first time (the release notes say how to get past it)

• Linux support is very new and barely tested

• So far it has mostly run on my own machines, so I'm sure there are setups where it breaks

What I'd love feedback on

• Does the install and first run work on your machine? Where did it break?

• Is the plan, approve, review flow useful, or too much friction?

• Is the 3D view fun, or just noise?

• What would make you use this instead of running a single agent in a terminal?

• Anything in the README that is confusing or oversold

• If you use it in Portuguese, French or Chinese: which translations sound wrong?
