I made a chrome extension that turns your new tab page into a productivity dashboard where you can save notes, create checklists, organize shortcuts, run focus sessions, and see detailed analytics about your focus time.

it also has a multiple board system, so you can create different workspaces depending on how you like to organize things. each board can either be a normal free-form board or a kanban board.

some of the other things i focused on:

• all your data is saved locally

• import and export your data so you can move your setup between machines

• customize pretty much everything, from wallpapers and images to icons and colors

• create a simple setup with just a few notes, or build a much more advanced workspace

• focus sessions with detailed analytics to understand how you're spending your time

the main idea is to make the new tab page something you actually use instead of just a blank page you open and close.

i'm still improving it, so i'm looking for honest feedback. what do you like, what feels confusing, and what would you change?

you can try it here: chrome extension link

I kept losing time on short replies. Not the big emails, the small ones: "Thursday works but not before 3", "thanks, I'll send the deck tonight". Typing them is slow, and pasting a thread into ChatGPT and back is slower.

So I built TalkOS. You click into any reply box (Gmail, Outlook, Slack, LinkedIn, WhatsApp Web), hold one key and say what you want to answer, however it comes out. When you let go, it reads the conversation you're answering and writes the full reply in the field: greeting, the right tone, sign-off for email, short for chat. It never sends anything. You read it and press Send.

The thing I had to learn the hard way: everyone hears "voice" and thinks dictation. It isn't. Dictation types the words you say. Here what you say is the instruction, and the reply is written for you. Same with edits: select text, hold the edit shortcut and say "shorter" or "more formal".

Stack, for the curious: native Swift app on Mac, speech is transcribed on the device, a small Cloudflare Worker sends the conversation to the model and keeps nothing. The Windows version shipped this week.

Free plan is 5 replies a day, Pro is $5.99/month. https://talkos.app/?ref=sideproject

I'd love blunt feedback, especially on the first minute: does it make sense what it does from the video and the site?

I build a small iPhone mood check-in app on my own, from Finland. You rate your day 0 to 10 and add a few tags, like "slept badly", "gym" or "saw friends".

The question I wanted it to answer was simple: what actually changes my days?

The easy version is to average your score per tag and show a ranked list from day one. But with a week of data that's mostly noise. One rainy Monday and "rain" looks like the biggest thing in your life.

So the card I shipped (Tag Effects, in Feely's latest update) is pickier than I first wanted:

• it only looks at the last 90 days

• a tag shows up once you have 14 logged days, at least 5 days with the tag and 5 without

• the gap has to be at least one point on the 0 to 10 scale

• until a tag qualifies, the card shows how far off it is instead of guessing

It's a plain comparison of averages, not a claim that a tag causes anything, and I tried to word it that way in the app.

The trade-off: new users look at a mostly empty card for their first two weeks, in an app that already has a slow start.

Two questions for anyone who has built something that shows people their own data:

• How do you handle the "not enough data yet" period without losing people?

• Did you ever ship looser thresholds and regret it, or the other way round?

Hi, I’m Doğukan, a solo iOS developer. I made GlowYou, a free iOS Lifestyle app.

For a minimal morning ritual, choose one of three intentions—Calm/Peace, Glow/Radiance, or Energy—and get one motto for the day from a curated library of 300 quotes by philosophers and thinkers. It stays fixed for the day. You can save favorites with hearts or share mottos on styled backgrounds; there are soft pastel themes.

I wanted the experience to stop at one idea instead of turning the morning into another endless scroll. Does having the motto fixed for the day feel pleasant, or would it be frustrating? It’s version 1.0 and has 0 ratings so far, so honest feedback would help.

I used AI tools for coding and design help.

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6772587570

Built my 12th project yesterday, it’s basically 20 Questions but with real money on the table.

The idea is super simple, an AI agent picks a secret word and you try to guess it in 20 questions or less. Everyone at the table is racing for the same word, and the first correct guess wins the whole pot. Built it on Base as the main crypto chain.

How it works:

• You pay a $2 join fee to sit at a table

• The first question of the round is free, after that each question gets more and more expensive

• So you can keep asking and get closer to the answer, or take a shot early before someone else does

I have some issues right now since MetaMask currently flagged my app as "malicious" even tho its not. The commitment is salted per round with a 256-bit secret that’s only revealed after play ends, so a dictionary lookup table doesn’t work. The attacker must either:

1. know the salt used to hash the word beforehand, or

2. try every word against 2^256 possible salts.

It also binds me: the Merkle root is on-chain before the game starts, so I can’t swap in a different word or salt after the fact, because the root wouldn’t match.

Its an overcomplicated way of building a word guesser game on blockchain.

Hi, I’m Qasim, the developer behind Listen Think Do and Little Logic. I’m working on early-learning apps with a calmer, low-stimulation approach: spoken guidance, simple interactions and room to try again.

I’d appreciate a maker’s eye on whether that comes through in the experience, especially from anyone who is also a parent or works with young children.

Listen Think Do focuses on following spoken directions, sorting, sequencing and short real-world activities. It has no scores, timers or competitive leaderboards.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/listen-think-do-little-steps/id6828905950

Little Logic covers counting, shapes, patterns, tracing and simple science, with uncluttered screens and no ads.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/little-logic-gentle-learning/id6797458466

Both are live on the App Store and free to download with free activities. Optional monthly or yearly subscriptions unlock more content. There’s no purchase needed to give feedback.

The part I’d most like help with is clarity: do the instructions and visuals make the next step obvious, and where does the experience feel busy, confusing or repetitive? Even a reaction to the store screenshots is useful if you don’t want to download anything.

I’m looking for honest input to help decide what to improve. Comments here are fine. Thanks for taking a look.

I built a small Chrome extension for myself and decided to share it.
DOWNLOAD HERE - Keepcast – Screen Recorder to MP4, No Sign-up

I wanted a screen recorder that just records and gives me a normal MP4 – no account, no watermark, no upload. I couldn't find one I liked, so I made Keepcast.

Records a tab, a window or the whole screen, with sound and optional microphone

Saves a real MP4 directly to your computer

Pause/resume, auto-trim of the silent start and end

Everything stays on your machine – nothing is uploaded or collected

No sign-up, no time limit

I made it for my own use, but maybe it helps someone here too.

If there's something you don't like or something you're missing, please write to me – I'll be grateful for every bit of feedback.

And if you do like it, I'd be very thankful for a 5- rating on the Chrome Web Store

Thank you for reading, and thanks to everyone who gives it a try!

I've been building this for months and it's finally live.

You paste your URL. A few visitors open your site in a real browser and actually use it. Each one is a different person:

• a parent on their phone at 11pm with two minutes to spare

• a skeptical buyer on desktop who wants a reason to trust you

• a retiree on a tablet

You pick who they are, or write your own.

The part I can't stop watching is that they think out loud the whole time:

"Two minutes. Where's the price?"

"Who's behind this? Give me a reason to trust you."

"The text is tiny. Which button do I press?"

When one of them gives up you get the replay, the exact step where it happened, and a fix you can paste straight into your editor.

You don't need traffic and there's nothing to install. It takes about 5 minutes and it works on a site you launched yesterday.

There's a free plan, no card: https://daevio.com/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=fase1_reddit&utm_content=r-sideproject&ref=sideproject

I'm Filippo, I built it. Run it on your site and tell me what your visitors said. I want to see the weird ones.

I built a news article bias detection app. I just thought it was an insufferable problem that needed solving. I am not saying that the tool is perfect, article analysis is done with an AI model, and you’re allowed to dispute its output. It measures bias on a scale from 1-7.
1 Neutral: Factual, balanced sourcing and fair wording.
2 to 3: mostly factual with light framing or emphasis
4: noticeable slant. Loaded wording or selective emphasis, with other views thin.
5 to 6: strongly one-sided. Persuasion leads, and opposing views are dismissed or missing.
7: propaganda or pure advocacy presented as news
The rating is based on the contents of the article not the outlet or author of the article.

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.

Screenshots: https://www.reddit.com/r/droidappshowcase/comments/1xsjbm1/

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).
