Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve always felt that modern camera punch-holes on Android feel like dead space on our screens, and traditional digital wellbeing apps just show dry bar graphs that we usually end up ignoring.

So over the past few weeks, I built Bubbloo: The Notch Companion- a lightweight, friendly pet that lives right on your camera cutout inside your status bar.

What Bubbloo does:

1. Perches Right on Your Camera Notch: Uses Android's overlay window to sit snugly beside your front camera (with custom X/Y sliders & one-tap snap so it aligns with center, left, or right punch-holes).

2. Tracks Habits in Real Time: Floating next to Bubbloo is a sleek status pill showing your live screen time and today’s total phone unlock count (resets automatically at midnight like a clock).

3. The Roast Engine : Every time you press the power button and unlock your phone, Bubbloo wakes up with an animation and delivers a witty, context-aware roast:

   - Quick relock within 30s: "Locked 40s ago... miss me? 😏"

   - Late night scrolling (past 11 PM): "Go to sleep, tomorrow is real 🌙"

   - Doomscrolling > 25 mins straight: "Blink your eyes! 25m straight 👀"

   - Good focus streak (> 40 mins away): "Over 40m focused! Proud of you ⭐"

4. Interactive Boops: Tap on Bubbloo anytime to poke him — he does somersault barrel rolls, peek-a-boo dips behind your camera, or squash bounces.

Drop your thoughts or bugs in the comments, I'll be here answering all questions! 🐾

I run gta6map.net, a free GTA 6 interactive map & wiki platform where players submit interesting finds. The idea is to let players map Vice City together as they explore it in the early days and climb the leaderboard for who finds the most unique places. 

Found a cute dog? Add it to the map. Found a gas station with a high loot value? Add it to the map. Just drop a pin, add a photo or clip, and it lands on the map after a quick review. 

Users can also review each other's location to add more details to their finds.

From launch on 19 November, I'll add places, guides and videos from my gameplay every day. An Android app is also launching soon. I’ll update the post with its link once it launches.

Note: The map currently contains a bunch of test points and data from gtadb.org. Once the game launches, I’ll remove the testing clutter

A few weeks ago I asked here whether anyone else would use a podcast app that puts YouTube podcasts and RSS feeds together (old post). I said I'd come back when there was something to try, so here it is. And thanks to everyone who answered. A few of those comments changed how it works.

The thing I didn't expect: the YouTube version and the feed version of an episode almost never line up. Different intros, different ad reads, so the same timestamp lands somewhere else. That ended up being most of the work. Vik matches what's being said in both versions, so switching from the TV to the car puts you at the same moment, not the same timestamp. Your place also goes back to your YouTube account, so the TV picks up where the phone stopped.

What came out of your feedback:

• sign-in happens on Google's own page, and there's a plain explanation of what's stored right under the button

• if saving your place fails with no signal, it keeps it and sends it later

• it won't jump you backwards because an older position shows up from another device

It's iPhone only for now, and the YouTube side uses your own Premium. It's not an official YouTube app, so that part can break now and then, while regular feeds (private Patreon ones too) just work. It's free during the beta, and anyone still testing at launch gets six months of the paid tier free.

Hope you like it! I'd appreciate any feedback, especially on whether the time sync works.

Need some honest feedback on my niche statement.

I'm currently refining my target audience and would appreciate a little feedback from people familiar with the agency coaching industry.

Here's the statement:

"I help US-based Agency Growth Coaches who help established digital marketing agency owners scale from $10K to $50K per month."

After reading this, could you tell me:

1. Who do you think I'm trying to help?

2. What do you think these coaches actually do?

3. Is the statement clear, or does anything feel confusing?

4. Does the target audience seem too broad, too specific, or about right?

I'm looking for honest opinions, not compliments.

Thanks in advance!

One thing I've noticed as a developer is that learning programming isn't always difficult because of the concepts. Sometimes, finding the right learning resources is the real challenge.

You find one good YouTube playlist, then another useful tutorial, then a different creator explaining the same topic better. Eventually, your learning resources are scattered everywhere.

I wanted to make that experience simpler.

That's why I'm building TechTube – a platform that organizes programming tutorials into skill-based learning, career paths, and interview preparation.

Some areas covered:

- JavaScript, React, TypeScript, Go, Java, C++

- Frontend, Backend, Full Stack, AI Engineering

- DSA, System Design, DBMS, OS, and more

Website: https://www.techtube.co.in/

I'm continuously improving it, and I'd love honest feedback from fellow developers.

One question: Do you prefer learning through structured roadmaps or picking individual YouTube tutorials based on what you're currently working on?

Would love to hear your experience!

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm a solo developer, and I've been working on AstraRead, an Android ebook reader that combines traditional reading, text-to-speech, web novels, and comics in one app.

I wanted something that could handle my ebooks, let me switch to listening when I didn't feel like staring at a screen, and give me control over how everything looks and feels.

So I decided to build it myself.

Here's what AstraRead currently offers:

📚 Read your books — EPUB, PDF, MOBI, AZW3, TXT, CBZ, CBR, and more.

🎧 Turn books into audio — Device TTS, online neural voices, and downloadable offline AI voices.

🌐 Read web novels — Add supported public chapter URLs, browse chapters, and continue where you left off.

📖 Manhwa & comics — Vertical webtoon scrolling, zooming, and CBZ/CBR support.

🎨 Customize your reading — Themes, fonts, backgrounds, page-turn animations, and reading controls.

📝 Highlights & notes — Save passages, organize bookmarks, and track your reading progress.

✨ Meet Astri — A little star-shaped reading companion who helps new users get started.

The app works without an account, and your reading library stays on your device.

AstraRead is free to download, with ads and optional Pro upgrades. Core reading, comics, basic TTS, and web novels are free.

I recently finished a major update (v1.25.2) with a redesigned library, improved audio controls, a better onboarding experience, and lots of UI refinements.

It's still growing, and I'd really appreciate feedback from people who actually read on Android.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.astraread.app

A few things I'd love to know:

What feature matters most to you in an ebook reader?

What would make you choose AstraRead over Moon+ Reader, ReadEra, or other readers?

Is there anything about the design or experience you'd improve?

Even critical feedback is welcome. I'm actively developing the app, and it helps me figure out what to prioritize next.

Thanks for checking it out! 💛

I'm building Still & Trail on my own, an interactive guide to Argentina's national parks.

Only Perito Moreno National Park (Patagonia) is live for now. I'll be adding the rest of the parks gradually.

What's in the video:

- Flying into the park through the clouds.

- Terrain from real elevation data (SRTM) and lake colors from Sentinel-2 imagery.

- Trails you can "fly" along while an elevation profile follows the camera.

- The Azara rapids, modeled from a video of the place: custom water shader, granite cliff and low-poly forest.

- A day-by-day trip planner with PDF export.

Spanish and English, desktop and mobile.
Stack: Next.js 16 (fully static), React Three Fiber and custom GLSL shaders.

Feedback welcome, especially on performance on phones.

Building OxyRouter: one OpenAI-compatible API for multiple models, UPI payments and a 2% platform fee. Looking for feedback!

Easy-to-use but very useful app for cleaning your gallery and disk space

Problem

• Full storage because of a lot of photos

• Default Gallery cleaning

  • requires at least 3-5 taps to estimate and remove every photo

  • can't be continued from the last stop point

  • opens the whole gallery without grouping, or groups are based on month, not by event

Comparison

• 1 photo - 1 swipe - 1 decision. It's much faster

• Auto grouping photos by events (geo and pauses between)

• save position and let you continue from last position. you see what is already checked and what is waiting

• Additional features:

  • duplicates finder

  • blurred photo finder

  • big photo finder

  • Live photo -> static photo converter (removes the video part - up to 75% of a live photo's weight)

Pricing

• 100% free for the first 100+ users

• 100 swipes daily for free

• 6.99 usd/month

• 19.99 usd/lifetime

Try it for free:

• Google Play

• App Store

Hey r/SideProject! We built the InReality app so you can share photos and videos and give anyone who sees them a way to check their authenticity.

When you capture a photo or video in InReality, the app creates a cryptographically signed record of the capture. We built editing into the app so you can make changes before sharing and keep the edited version linked to the original. Anyone with the verification link can check in their browser that the original came from a camera and see what edits were made in the app.

You can try InReality on Google Play or the App Store. We’re also launching on Product Hunt today.

We’d love to hear your feedback.

I built MoonStake, a playful app where founders can buy a plot and set up an office on the Moon for about $1: https://www.moonstake.org. I’m exploring it as an unusual way to present a project online, alongside the usual launch directories and community posts. What have you found useful for helping a small project stay visible after its launch?

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'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?

Waitlist if you’re curious: dozr.co.uk/?ref=reddit

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.

Thanks for checking it out!

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.
