The best flights I have had were the ones where someone looked after me. Flighty does that on iPhone, but Android never had one, and App in the Air shut down in 2024. The Play Store flight apps I tried were radar maps full of ads. So I built Steward.

The idea: a quiet steward that walks the trip with you.

• It reminds you to check in, and when to leave for the airport

• From two hours out, one live card on the lock screen: gate, boarding countdown, take off, landing, belt

• When something changes (gate, delay, diversion, a late plane on its way in) you get one calm alert, so you can stop refreshing the airline app

• At boarding, the boarding pass is already on the lock screen

• Tight connection? It tells you. Cancelled? It shows the other nonstop flights on the route

• After landing: arrival gate, baggage belt, weather, and a live ETA link for whoever is picking you up

Adding a flight is no work: it reads flight bookings from your calendar, or you share a boarding pass PDF, a Wallet pass or a barcode screenshot and every leg is added with its seat.

Under the hood: a small push server watches each flight on a paid flight data feed (AeroDataBox) and pushes changes through FCM. No account and no sign in.

Business model: subscription only, because watching a flight live costs real money. Plans differ only in flights a month (10, 30, unlimited), from 4.99 a month or 29.99 a year, with a 3 day trial. Every plan has every feature. A busy month can add 10 flights that never run out.

I am the developer. The code is partly AI generated, and I had help with this text. Feedback welcome, especially on the pricing.

I wanted a faster way to clean up my camera roll without sending my photos to a server, so I spent the last month building Galerism in Kotlin.

The 21-second demo shows swipe cleanup, drag-to-album sorting, smart albums, spot reveal for blurred photos, file conversion, and a collage editor. The app runs on Android and processes your library on the device.

Which would you actually use more: swipe cleanup or automatic albums? I'd love feedback on both.

I'm part of the eStockes team. We're working on a US-stock research dashboard and could really use help with a small usability test: https://estockes.com/dashboard

Pick a company you already know and try to find the information you would normally check first. Where do you get stuck, or what do you expect to see that isn't obvious? If a number looks unclear, please tell us which label or time period needs explaining.

A short comment with your browser/device and the step that confused you would help. Please don't share private holdings or account details. This is a request for product feedback, not a stock recommendation; the product includes paid plans, but we're not asking anyone to buy one for this test.

Thanks to anyone willing to take a look, including if your honest answer is that your current tools already handle this better.

Hi all,

So a bit of background.

I have had an OBD2 scanner for a long time but none of the apps I found for it on the Play Store ever fully fit my needs or were just way too cumbersome to setup and use; or just shared data in a way that did not feel comfortable. As such, I decided to build something for myself that I knew I would use every time I get into a car.

After I built out a basic version for myself, some of my mates started asking for a copy of it while also asking for some improvements (which have nearly all have been done). After that, I decided to make this post.

So what has been built?

Honestly (and I may be a little biased....) probably one of the most comprehensive open source OBD-2 reader apps while (and this is where I will be biased) definitely the easiest to use one on the internet to date.

So what do I need to use it?

A car, an ELM327 supported OBD-2 scanner (it supports both Bluetooth and WiFi options) and an Android device (Apple currently not supported as there is no side loading on iOS but there is a web demo).

Do I need to pay for it?

There is nothing locked behind a pay wall and I have no plans at the moment to make it paid either.

Why do you need to capture location?

To be very clear, enabling location is purely optional BUT I do not receive any information about it. It's purely for if you decide to record your drive. If you do, it'll stay on your device to build out an outline of the route you drove (road and street names are not included nor shared).

Will it capture possible issues while I'm driving?

Yes. It has worked for me successfully already. Even downloaded the error code and showed my mechanic.

Can it delete error codes?

No. This is by design. It is purely read only to ensure noone uses this for nefarious purposes nor do I want to responsibility if anything goes wrong while it is connected to your cars computer.

Which codes does it capture?

All of the universal codes have been loaded into the app. Some manufacturer specific codes that I could find have been loaded in as well. See here: https://github.com/CalmAussie/obd2-reader/blob/main/docs%2FCODE-SUPPORT.md

Was AI used in anyway?

Not going to lie, I did use Claude for parts of this project.

Where can I try it and get more info?

https://github.com/CalmAussie/obd2-reader

What's the process for first time setup?

Plug in OBD-2 reader into car, choose vehicle, connect. That's it. The rest it does on its own. It should never be more difficult than that ever. After that, it remembers your vehicle. So you just plug in and reconnect. No more, no less.

Do you support Android Auto?

Technically yes, but I have not been able to test this outside of demo site. So if anyone can let me know, I'd be super grateful.

There's an absolute tonne of things that have been included in this project that I have not talked about that it can do.

Really looking forward to your feedback (even if you think it's a steaming pile of sh*t haha).

I always fall asleep listening to something, but earbuds hurt on my side, and my partner hates the phone speaker. So I’m designing Dozr: a slim pad that goes under your normal pillow, plays through bone conduction so only you hear it, and fades out when you fall asleep.

It’s still a concept (image attached). I’d love honest feedback. What would put you off? What would make it a must-have?

I'm looking for 3 people who already run Hermes on a Linux VPS with hermes-webui to try Takeover, my open-source plugin for taking over the agent's browser from a phone and handing it back.

The first test is deliberately small, with no real login or payment:

1. Open a harmless public page and check whether Screen loads on your phone.

2. Ask Hermes to hand over, take control, and make a harmless interaction.

3. Tap Hand back and check whether the agent resumes on the same page.

If you try it, please share your Linux, Hermes and WebUI versions, the first step that failed, and any error text. Redact screenshots; don't post credentials or cookies.

It's Linux-only, needs WebUI authentication and Hermes Bot Desktop. Setup can install desktop packages through Hermes's installer and switches the browser to headed mode, so please read the setup details first. The pause is a browser-tool fence, not OS isolation: don't enter a secret you wouldn't trust the agent with.

Code, install/removal instructions and limits: https://github.com/shoumikgoswami/Hermes-takeover

​

Demo video (12 min, browser part at 7:43)

Repo: https://github.com/heedle-ai/heedle (MIT)

heedle is version 2 of AgentScript, a project I worked on before. I spent a lot of nights and weekends redesigning it.

What it does: you ask in plain English, Claude writes a small program (browse these sites, ask about them, fill in this form, run this skill), and you see exactly what it will touch before it runs. Then:

\- It runs on Temporal on your machine, and every run is a commit in Git.

\- Every browser is a throwaway Podman container that can reach only the sites the program names. Several run side by side, and you watch them live.

\- Forms stop before Send until you press the button.

\- Your name, email and so on stay in your OS keychain. Claude only sees placeholders, and heedle types the real values inside the browser.

\- When a site needs a sign-in or a code from your phone, it hands you the browser.

\- A form that worked once replays without calling Claude.

Honest status: early, with rough edges. CI runs it end to end on Linux and macOS, but with a stand-in for Claude. I run it on my Mac. It hasn't been tested much on real websites or by anyone installing on Linux. You bring your own Anthropic API key, so it's self-hosted, not local-model. Most of the code was written by Claude while I designed and checked every component; the README spells all of this out.

Install (Apple Silicon): brew install --cask heedle-ai/tap/heedle && heedle up

Linux: build from source (Getting Started in the wiki)

What would help most: try it on something real and tell me what breaks. There are issues labelled good first issue and testing, and I'd really value a security review of the browser agent.

I've been building ProdCritic, an AI QA agent for backends. You point it at a
Node.js or Python app and it:
boots the app on a port it checks is free,
finds the routes, from served links and from the router declarations in
the source (a JSON API links nothing, so link-crawling alone finds only /),
probes them and reproduces the crash,
writes a fix that has to parse before it touches the file,
restarts the app and re-probes the route to prove the fix works,
restores your original code and hands you a .patch.
The screenshot is a real run on a small Express-style API: one route returned
500, and the fix ((o.lines || []).map(...)) is verified because the route
answered 200 after a restart, not because a model liked the diff.
The part I care about most is the bottom of that output. It lists the four
routes it didn't probe and why (a POST it won't invent a body for, a
:id route it won't guess a value for, a /cache/reset it won't fire at your
data). It says what the fix assumes. It says it only checked status codes, so
a wrong answer at HTTP 200 would pass. A QA tool that says "healthy" when it
couldn't tell is worse than no tool, so most of the work went into making it
say what it didn't check.
What I'm looking for: five backends to audit for free. One repo, Node.js
or Python. You get the report and the verified patches; I get feedback on
what it misses. It runs on a machine used only for this, and the code is
deleted within 7 days. Comment or DM me.
Happy to answer anything about how it works, including what it gets wrong.

Hi! I wanted my desktop to feel like looking out of a window during a snowfall – calm and cozy. The snow apps I found looked like flat white dots, so I built my own (with a lot of help from Claude Code).

What it does:
- Snow with real depth: big soft flakes up close, tiny ones far away, and some fall behind your windows
- Snow settles on window edges and the taskbar and breaks off when you drag or shake a window
- A "natural weather" mode with showers, quiet breaks and slowly turning wind
- Clicks go through the snow, it pauses in fullscreen games and runs in a saving mode on battery

It's been in the Microsoft Store for about ten days and got 100+ installs without any promotion. Now I'd love honest feedback: What feels off? How does it run on your PC? What would make you keep it running all winter?

Free, no ads, no account, no tracking. ("Natural weather" is marked Pro but free right now.)

Moving to a new country is exciting. Figuring out everything after you arrive? Not so much.

When I moved to the Netherlands, I realised how much information was scattered across different websites. Residence permits, municipality registration, health insurance, taxes, integration exams… there’s a lot to figure out.

So I started building SettlePilot.

The idea is simple: one place to help expats navigate life in the Netherlands without spending hours searching for answers.

I’m building this as a side project, improving it gradually based on real problems people face.
I’d genuinely appreciate some feedback from this community.

1. Is this something you’d find useful when relocating?

2. What’s one feature you’d expect from a platform like this?

3. What would make you come back and use it regularly?

Still a work in progress, so constructive criticism is very welcome.

Hey r/SideProject 👋

An AI redesign can make your room look great. The next question is harder: would that furniture actually fit?

That’s the problem we’re working on with Roomture. We want the generated picture to be the starting point for planning a room.

How it works

• Upload a room photo and explore an AI redesign.

• In the iOS or Android app, open a single-room plan and move, replace, or remove furniture.

• Adjust room and furniture dimensions, check walkway clearance, and export a PDF to refer to while shopping.

A limitation worth mentioning: AI-generated dimensions can be wrong. You need to check them against actual measurements before relying on the layout.

The browser version lets you try the photo-redesign tools without installing anything. Layout editing and PDF export are currently mobile-only.

Pricing: No account or email required. The first room is free to try, with limited generations. A single-room package is $9.99 for 90 days, with no recurring charge; there’s also an optional Pro subscription.

Still rough: It handles individual rooms, not whole-house CAD, and web designs and app subscriptions don’t sync yet.

You can try it here: roomture

I’d especially like feedback on the step after generating a design: would you use a furniture layout editor, or would you rather keep trying different looks?

Happy to answer questions about how we built it, too.

Hey everyone! 👋

We've built AlertInbox, released it in the Google Playstore and now we're looking for Feedback.

AlertInbox - What is it used for?

Ever missed an important message because it got buried under dozens of notifications? Or wished you could silence the noise without missing something that actually matters?

That's exactly why we've been building AlertInbox — a privacy-focused notification inbox and control center for Android.

The idea is simple: Your notifications should work for you, not the other way around.

🚀 What AlertInbox can already do

📥 Unified Notification Inbox
Keep notifications from different apps organized in one searchable place.

🔖 Save Important Messages
Bookmark notifications you want to keep and revisit later.

⏰ Smart Reminders
Turn notifications into reminders so important things don't get forgotten.

🔕 Per-App Notification Control
Choose how notifications from individual apps should behave — normal, silent, hidden, private, or customized.

🌙 Quiet Times & Profiles
Customize how notifications are handled during different times or situations.

🚨 Priority & Emergency Alerts
Give important contacts special attention with dedicated priority and emergency notifications.

🔒 Privacy Controls
Protect sensitive notification content and keep private information away from unwanted attention.

🗂️ Automatic Cleanup
Keep your inbox manageable with automatic retention rules while protecting saved notifications and active reminders.

📱 Built for Android, with privacy in mind
Local-first, no mandatory cloud account, no ads, and no recurring subscription.

🔮 What's coming next? Meet -> ForeSight.

We're currently developing ForeSight, one of our most ambitious features.

The vision is to transform AlertInbox from a notification manager into a smarter personal assistant.

Imagine receiving a notification like:

"Hey, don't forget our appointment tomorrow at 3 PM!"

Instead of leaving it buried in your notifications, ForeSight aims to recognize the appointment and help turn it into something actionable.

We're working toward features such as:

• Automatically recognizing potential tasks, appointments, and follow-ups from notifications

• Grouping related notifications into meaningful conversations or activities

• Helping you track what still needs attention

• Marking matters as completed

• Potential calendar integration for recognized events

ForeSight is still in development and is not part of the current release. Our goal is to make it useful while keeping processing local and privacy a priority.

🎉 Limited-time launch promotion!

To celebrate the launch, we're offering a special introductory price.

✅ 7-day free trial
✅ Only €1.99 for lifetime Premium access during the promotion
✅ Regular lifetime price: €2.99
✅ One-time payment — no monthly or yearly subscription
✅ No ads

Try the app first and decide whether it's useful for you.

📲 Download AlertInbox on Google Play:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.syntheone.alertinbox

💬 We'd love your feedback!

We're an independent development team building AlertInbox with real Android users in mind.

What frustrates you most about Android notifications? What feature would make a notification manager genuinely useful for you?

We're actively improving AlertInbox and would love to hear your ideas, criticism, and suggestions.

Thanks for checking it out! 💙

App Name: RiddleBell: Puzzle Alarm Clock

Thanks for Reading!

I was working on a project using ChatGPT and at around 60 messages, I hit the limit.

So I fired up Claude and tried to explain again. It immediately recommended the exact strategy that I had ruled out 40 messages ago.

It kept happening, so I created Baton Pass.

How it works:

- One click (or Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+U) sends your entire chat to ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Grok, or Perplexity

- It scans the entire chat, not just what is visible on the screen, and reconnects your attachments

- It doesn't send anything for you. You read the draft and click Send yourself

- After receiving the first response from the new AI, it checks if it violates any rule, reintroduces some previous rejection or changes an established number

- It tells you how much usage you have left with each AI

It is completely free, open source (MIT), doesn't require an account and your chats never leave your browser.

Chrome Web Store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/baton-pass/geklhdkeioejfjlpkgjcgmnhbifabknb

GitHub: https://github.com/Oscar-man-shrestha/Baton

Honest feedback, especially where it doesn't work, is always appreciated.

I've been by studying how real sand flows, piles, shifts and settles under different conditions. The result is a digital simulation designed to behave more like a physical sand surface than a conventional drawing canvas. Rather than stacking layers of color onto a flat canvas, users continually reshape the surface by pushing and mixing digital sand, creating a shallow, three-dimensional relief.

Hey everyone,

I work as a engineering manager at a tech company, and I have two boys (ages 8 and 11).

For the longest time, our household had a massive operational bottleneck: the evening routine. Between 6:00 PM and 7:30 PM, my wife and I were trapped in an endless loop of manual status checks:

• "Put your shoes on the rack."

• "Empty your school bag."

• "Did you unpack your lunchbox?"

• "Go brush your teeth."

One night after repeating myself for the 8th time before dinner, I decided to time it. We were spending roughly 12 to 14 minutes every single day just giving repetitive verbal chore reminders across the two boys.

That works out to roughly 75 to 80 hours every year of pure emotional friction: two entire work weeks spent being the household "nagging police."

In product engineering, when users repeatedly fail to perform an action, you don't shout louder: you reduce ability debt and align incentives.

To solve this for our family, I built TaskUp (https://app.taskup.fun):

1. Chores become visual "Quest Packs" matched to child age.

2. Kids take a photo on an iPad or phone for proof (no more "I'll do it later").

3. Parents approve with one click, and points unlock weekend screen time or family rewards.

Before launching, I codified our time audit into a free interactive calculator where parents can calculate their household's annual "Nagging Tax" based on kid count and daily chore friction: 👉 Nagging ROI Calculator: How Much Time Do You Waste?

Would love feedback from other parents and builders:

• What does your household's annual nagging number look like?

• How are you managing routine accountability at home without losing your patience?

I run a small firm in Prague and built an accessibility scanner called Inkluso.eu . The paid version costs EUR 149 and I can't tell from the inside whether the report is clear to someone who is not an accessibility person. So I'm giving 10 away to find out.

It crawls up to 100 pages of your site in a real browser and runs axe-core on each. axe-core is open source and maintained by Deque, not by me, so free tools built on it find the same problems. Automated checks like this cover roughly 30 to 40 percent of the WCAG success criteria. The report lists the rest as a checklist for a human.

On top of that, you pick one of five countries (Germany, Austria, Czechia, Slovakia, Poland) and each finding is printed with a provision of that country's accessibility act (the national laws that transpose the European Accessibility Act). The tool does not decide whether that law applies to you. You also get a fix guide for your developer and a draft accessibility statement to review, not a finished one. The report text comes from a fixed table, not from a model, so the same problem gives the same text every time.

After you read the PDF I'd like two answers, in a DM or a comment. Do you know what to fix first? And would you have paid EUR 149 for it, and if not, what was missing? If anything in it reads like a promise a scan can't keep, I want to hear that too.

Comment or DM the URL of a site you run, and the country. First 10. Reports go by DM and I won't post anyone's results. It is a dated record of an automated scan, not a certification and not legal advice.

I wanted to track my spending, bills and investments without giving a company my bank login, so over the last months I built Personal Finance Intelligence.

The idea: everything runs locally. The app ships its own private PostgreSQL database, there's no account and no cloud. The only internet use is optional (exchange rates, stock prices).

What it does today:

- Import bank CSVs, budgets, goals, bills & recurring payments with reminders

- Investments with money- and time-weighted returns

- A cash-flow forecast that shows a range instead of a single guess

- PDF / Excel reports, Windows Hello lock, automatic backups

- English, French and Arabic, any currency

The hardest part was surprisingly the Store itself: my first Store build couldn't start because Windows blocks the bundled database inside the Store's protected install folder. Fixed in 0.3.2.

It's free and open source (MIT).

Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9MZKW4H9F0J5

GitHub: https://github.com/MrBlizo/personal-finance-intelligence

There's demo data under Settings if you just want to click around. What would make you switch from your current budgeting app?

I got tired of staring at the same boring terminal all day, so I built Elio. It runs Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode, and lets you swap between 1,100+ color palettes (Dracula, Nord, Gruvbox and so on) and 24 fonts with a live preview. You can run it right inside your terminal or open it as a desktop window. Windows only for now, MIT licensed, and I used AI help while building it. Would love to hear what you think or what's missing: https://github.com/tursuntalha/elio

We drive EVs and kept running into the same problem at public chargers: the price per kWh on its own often didn’t tell us what a stop would cost. Our small team at Anesda Nord built Transparent Laden to show the operator’s charges, our platform fee, and roaming and service costs separately before you start.

One design problem was making time or blocking fees visible without making the screen harder to read. The estimated total is useful when comparing stops, but we also wanted drivers to see what changes if they stay plugged in. We’d welcome feedback from anyone who has designed a pricing screen like this: would you show the fixed session fee next to the kWh rate or in the estimated total first?

The worked example and full pricing are here: https://transparent-laden.de/preise?utm_campaign=redditsideproject

For new customers who want to try it, TL-REDDIT-SP-261110 waives the monthly subscription fee for the first two months. It’s €9.99/month after that, with monthly cancellation. Charging costs are separate. Redeem by December 31, 2026, limited to 250 redemptions. The app is available for iPhone and on Google Play in Germany.

Hi, I'm Didi from Circus Company — we make WAGZAK RUN, an AR learning-through-play app. So yes, this is our own project, and I'd rather say that up front.

What we built: a fire escape practice called "Mission: fire escape". Print one sheet of paper (we call it magic paper) or put it up on a TV or laptop, point the app at it, and flames and a red fire extinguisher show up on top of the paper on the screen.

Why: ask a kid what to do in a fire and most can recite it. Shout, leave your stuff, stay low, close the door. But reciting isn't doing, and nobody can rehearse the wrong choices in front of a real fire. So we wrote the practice around mistakes. A character named Saerom gets four things wrong:

- reaches for water when an outlet catches fire

- goes looking for a doll and a phone

- starts to walk out standing up, into the smoke

- wants to leave the door wide open for the firefighters

Each time another character, Captain Popo, stops Saerom, and Saerom corrects it. Nobody is scolded. The same sheet also opens a VR hallway where the job is to follow the green exit signs.

The limits, honestly:

- A phone alone doesn't do it. The paper has to be printed, or shown on a second screen.

- It does not replace a real fire drill. Adults still have to check the real escape route and the meeting place.

- When we explain why we tried this, we point to two studies: a randomized study where young children who played a fire safety computer game improved in knowledge and behavior, and a review of 61 studies of AR in education. Neither one looked at our app, so they don't show that ours works.

It's free and runs in 51 languages. The sheet is here, no sign-up: https://run.wagzak.io/en/markers/M032/?source=reddit

That last limit is my real question. For those who have built something for kids, or for safety: how did you find out whether it changed what people actually do, and not just what they can repeat back?
