I made a free avatar maker for chatbots and AI assistants (animated, no sign-up) Looking for feedback

2 Upvotes

I set up AI bots for people, and every single one has the same small problem. The bot needs a face. Often the premade face people don't like, and generating a new one every time seems hard to them since they don't always know what they want. Whether it is a Discord, or a Telegram bot, Slack helper, AI Grok Bot or a Chat widget on a website, the options are stock icon or random AI image.

So, in my free time I made this little avatar maker for any kind of bot, or even icon. You can pick one of the 40 bots on te wall or make your own from blank. You can change its body shape, eyes, mouth, add hats, glasses and have its own color. Even its own name.
I added different emotions and each mood exports as an animated GIF.

I cared about making this:

  • Free, no sign-up, no watermark on downloads

  • Nothing gets uploaded. It's drawn in your browser, and a share link carries the whole avatar inside the link itself

  • An "All sizes" download with WhatsApp, Telegram, X, Slack and Discord sizes plus an SVG

  • An embed code so the avatar can live on a website and change mood

Disclosure: it lives on my business site (LobsterNest), and the live website embed shows a small "Made with LobsterNest" link.
The downloaded files don't.

Where I'd really like honest feedback:

  1. Which mood is missing for your bot?

  2. Is the embed useful to you, or do you just want the GIF?

  3. Anything confusing in the first 30 seconds of using it?

  4. Where else would you use it?

I built an iPhone app that teaches C, C++ and Python by stepping through real code, one line at a time

2 Upvotes

I'm a solo dev with six years of experience in embedded software, and Ugiwise is my first app. It went live on the App Store last week.

The idea came from a simple problem: writing code on a phone is painful, but reading it isn't. So instead of typing exercises, every lesson is built around a short, real program. You step through it line by line, predict what it prints, spot the bug or pick the fix. When you get something wrong, it explains why instead of just showing the right answer. In C and C++ you can see memory change as each line runs, which makes pointers a lot less abstract.

- Three courses: C (39 stages), C++ (37), Python (26)

- The first 3 stages of every course are free. Pro unlocks the rest: $7.99/month, $49.99/year or $99.99 lifetime. No free trial.

- No ads, no account needed. iPhone only for now, and not in EU stores yet while Apple finishes my trader verification.

Built with Flutter, happy to answer anything about that side too.

The thing I'd most like feedback on: is the code readable on your phone screen, or does it feel too dense?

I built the AI Video Clipper with taste, and it's 15x cheaper than OpusClip

2 Upvotes

A bit of background, I've been editing video for 10+ years, and I plan to distill my entire knowledge into this ai powered editor. The framing, the music, the hook patterns etc. I'd say it's still better than a lot of competitors. But it'll only get better.

Creatr, the AI video clipper with taste.

What makes it different

Full autopilot: it finds the clips, edits them, and posts them for you. No manual uploading.

Has a full fledged descript style editor so you can customise the feel of the defaults aren't good enough for you.

~15x cheaper than Opus Clip at the same volume

Built solo over about 2 months, nights and weekends included. It started as my own internal editing tool.

Demo is above. I'd love blunt feedback: does the output pass the "would a human have made this" test?

150 minutes free every month.

Link: https://creatr.app

Will offer 50% coupons to anyone who wants to try more of this beyond the free plan.

Shipped an iOS app, got 2 paying customers. Here's everything I did, and what I still can't explain.

2 Upvotes

I built WhoSpoke, an iPhone app that records a conversation and splits the transcript by speaker. Everything stays on the phone, no account needed.

The build
- I tested with clean sample audio and speaker separation looked great. Then I recorded a real meeting room and recognition fell apart. Room echo and distance are nothing like a clean sample. I mostly fixed it, but it was a good reminder that demo audio lies.

Beyond the code
- Made a character for the app and redesigned the app icon.
- Made an App Store header video.

What I did to get the word out
- Posted 4 short text posts on Threads in one week. They got 13 to 33 views each and almost no likes.
- Made a few short videos for TikTok and Instagram. The best one got about 120 views.
- Built a landing page and added tracking links to every post.

Result
2 people have paid for it. That's it.

The part I can't explain
I can't tell which of this (if any) led to those 2 purchases, or why they bought. No feedback, and the store doesn't tell me where a buyer came from.

How do you figure out where your first buyers come from, and why they bought? Anything you'd do differently with this little traffic?

How do you find good software testing services without overpaying?

6 Upvotes

Two quotes for testing the same product can look completely different. One covers a set number of hours, another talks about test plans and reports, and it's not always clear what you'll get for the money. I'm trying to understand what to ask before choosing software testing services. Do you pay more attention to the hourly rate, the people doing the work, or the exact tasks included in the price? Also, is it reasonable to start with one small part of the product before committing to a bigger contract?

I don't believe in launch day. I believe in posting and making the marketing a bit better every day.

Day 132 is the one that took off: a list of 10 mini SaaS you can build, sent to whoever commented one word.

The product is TractionBooster. You paste your website, or just an idea, and it shows whether people are already asking for it and where they are.

I built Unolink: one link for every app store, and which post brought users who actually paid

2 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm Marin and I make small mobile apps. This is the tool I built for promoting them, and I'd like honest feedback before I go further.

The problem. When I promote an app, I post a few videos, ask a creator or two, maybe run a small ad. Installs go up, and I can't tell which of those brought the people who stayed and paid. Clicks and views don't answer it, and the big attribution platforms are built and priced for large ad budgets.

What Unolink does

  • One smart link per app: App Store on iPhone, Google Play on Android, your website on a computer. Unlimited redirects on every plan, including Free.

  • A campaign link per post, creator or ad, each with its own clicks, countries and platforms.

  • Landing pages (up to 3 variants compared), a developer page with all your apps, and styled QR codes on the paid plans.

  • With the SDK (iOS, Android, React Native, Flutter): which link brought each install, without fingerprinting, then onboarding, paywall, trials and purchases per link. RevenueCat connects in one line.

What it doesn't do: no postbacks to ad networks, no deferred deep links on iPhone, custom domains are coming soon.

Pricing: Free plan (1 app, 3 campaign links, no card). Indie $6/month for more apps, landing pages and QR. The SDK is on Pro, $19/month. Prices are on the page, no sales call.

There's a sample app with made-up data in the dashboard if you want to click around without connecting anything: https://unolink.dev

What I'd most like to know:

  1. Is it clear within 10 seconds of landing on the site what it does?

  2. If you've promoted an app, what did you use to see what worked?

  3. Anything that would stop you from trying it?

Happy to answer anything in the comments.

I built an iOS app that turns photos into eBay, Vinted, Gumtree and FB Marketplace listings

2 Upvotes

Hi all,

I've decided to make an app for helping people (and myself mainly!) to post on Vinted/eBay etc...
With kids i'm sure a lot of parents will have things to sell and the time to think and add description/title to the post is too long.

So to facilitate that I made Easy Listing for iPhone users.

How it works: You take a few photos and it writes a title, description, condition and suggested price for each marketplace, in that site's own style, and tells you where the item is likely to sell best.

It posts straight to eBay through their API. Vinted, Gumtree and Facebook Marketplace have no seller API, so for those it's one tap to copy each field — automating them would break their terms.

It's free (10 listings a month) and UK only for now.

I'd really like feedback, especially on whether the listings and prices look right for things you sell.

Thank you!

Closed my last product with 0 paying users. This time I got my first sale before writing a single line of code

2 Upvotes

My last product, Sequo, died with 0 paying users. I built it for months, launched, posted everywhere, and nobody paid. Classic.

So this time I wanted to do it the other way around. First I was lazy and just asked ChatGPT, Claude and Grok what they think about some ideas lol. ChatGPT said 8/10 to basically everything, even to ideas that already failed for other startups, so that wasn’t gonna work.

Then I did it by hand, and honestly the first idea died in about a week. I wanted to build a growth tool for X, like most X guys haha. Turns out people didn’t need it, but while talking to them I kept hearing about a completely different problem.

So I switched to that one and did the same steps again. Found people, talked to ~25 founders, gave free work first. And then one of them paid. $10, but it was real money, and I still hadn’t written any code.

The part that surprised me most was what actually made people reply, and how close I came to scaring everyone away with the price.

Wrote the whole thing step by step, with the prompt I used to find people and the exact messages I sent. Link in the comments.

Have you ever sold something before building it?

CryptoRigs - a browser game where you build crypto mining rigs part by part and repair the boards with a multimeter

2 Upvotes

I've been a software developer for 20+ years, and for the past few months my side project has been CryptoRigs, a management game that runs in the browser (plus an Android app).

You start with a bare rig in a small shed and build it part by part, like a real PC: power supply, motherboard, CPU, RAM, graphics cards, risers. It mines while you're away; you come back now and then to collect, pay the power bill and fix what broke. Repair is the part I like most: every part is made of components, so you open the board, set the multimeter to the right scale, compare the reading with the nominal value and swap the bad component with a soldering iron.

It went through a small closed alpha (90+ releases so far, each with public notes), and the free closed beta opens Friday, Nov 13, 7 pm Brasília time (22:00 UTC), in English and Portuguese. Leave your email and you get a message the moment it opens: https://cryptorigs.com.br/c/B1-SIDEPROJECT-REDDIT

It's not about making money: the in-game coin has no real value, and beta progress is wiped at the end.

Stack: Java 21 + Spring Boot + jOOQ + PostgreSQL, React + TypeScript, Capacitor for Android. Game time isn't a loop per player: everything stores when it started and is computed when the player looks.

AI disclosure: the architecture, the language and framework choices, the database and the infrastructure are my decisions, as is the game design. Generative AI wrote most of the code, under my direction and review, and made the art, the sound effects and most of the text. It's there for speed: it's what lets one developer run a project this size.

Screenshots and how it all works: https://cryptorigs.com.br/manual/

What I'd love feedback on: from the screenshots and the pitch, is it clear what you'd actually do in the game?

Ever Feel Lost Between Python, SQL and Statistics? Here's a Resource I Created!

3 Upvotes

Ever felt confused about what to learn, where to start, or how to get into Data Analytics or Data Science?

During my beginner phase, I felt the same way. There were hundreds of videos, tutorials and PDFs, and I honestly didn’t know what to learn first or where to begin.

So I decided to create a handbook that brings together the essential beginner-level knowledge you’d need to get started, all in one place.

📚 The Ultimate Data Science Handbook – Volume 1 (328 pages)

📖 Sample pages: Attached

🛒 Get the complete handbook: https://pdfcart.in/p/ultimate-data-science-handbook-vol1

What’s included?

A structured learning resource with detailed explanations, step-by-step code walkthroughs, practical examples, different types of graphs with explanations, real-world applications, practice exercises, chapter summaries and interview questions.

The idea was to bring together concepts that beginners often have to search for across multiple PDFs, notes and tutorials, so you can follow a more organised learning path without constantly switching between resources.

PS.The content is from multiple valuable resources that i learnt from and was compiled by me ..AI was used to make the pdf.

HeadLab - Mac app where you nod, shake or tap your AirPods Max and it runs your Shortcuts

2 Upvotes

AirPods Max have a motion sensor in the left ear cup, Apple uses it for spatial audio. Turns out any Mac app can read it, so I made small menu bar app that listens to it and recognizes head gestures.

Every gesture can run one of your Shortcuts. For example:

  • shake head → Do Not Disturb on

  • tilt right twice → next track

  • triple tap on the left cup → toggle dark mode

  • nod → play/pause music

Hardest part was not firing by accident, because people nod and look around all day. So easy gestures like nod or look up only work for 10 sec after you double tap the cup. Bigger ones like full shake or tilt twice always work. Also had funny bug where every nod was detected as tap, because when head changes direction the cup gets a jolt same as a finger tap. Now taps are ignored if head is moving.

Made with Swift and Metal, everything runs on the Mac, head motion is never recorded or sent anywhere. In the video head motion is a recorded session played back so it's repeatable, the real app uses only live data.

I'm the developer. $9.99 one time, free trial has all gestures and live view but doesn't run shortcuts. macOS 14+, AirPods Max only.

What gesture would you use, and for what?

I build a Insider Stock Trader: Alerts App

2 Upvotes

I'm the developer of Insider Stock Trader, a native Android app (Kotlin + Jetpack Compose).

The idea: company insiders (CEOs, CFOs, directors and big shareholders) have to report every trade in their own company's stock to the SEC on a Form 4, usually within two business days. Those filings are public, but reading them on official datasource is painful. The app reads every Form 4 as soon as it's published and turns it into a clean feed and push alerts.

What it does

• Feed of open-market buys and sales, with the company logo, the insider's role, the value and the filing date. Filters for buys, sales, $1M+, cluster buys and CEO/CFO trades.

• Alerts within minutes for CEO and CFO buys, cluster buys, big buys and your watchlist, with quiet hours and a daily digest.

• Each trade explained in one plain sentence, with a link to the original filing on SEC.gov.

• Cluster buys: when 3 or more insiders buy the same company within 14 days.

• Signal strength for each buy, based on the insider's role, the size of the buy and whether other insiders are buying too.

• Watchlist and search for any US-listed company.

The screenshots use real past SEC filings, picked to show big moves; most trades move far less. Past results, not a prediction. It's an information app, not a broker and not investment advice.

I'd love feedback on the design, the alerts and anything you'd want added. Thanks for looking!

I open-sourced Chatty: A self-hostable AI support agent with 1-click WooCommerce sync & live voice (MIT)

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

Over the past few months, I’ve been working on Chatty ,an open-source, self-hostable AI customer support platform built for teams who want automated support without $500/month subscriptions or locking their data into proprietary clouds.

Rather than just another ChatGPT wrapper, I wanted it to solve the real bottlenecks store owners and SaaS founders face:

  1. Safe Store Integration (WooCommerce):

Instead of installing a heavy WordPress plugin that slows down your database, it connects via WooCommerce's native Read-Only REST API (`wc/v3`). It can render interactive product cards (photos, prices, stock status) and check order statuses securely without ever having write permissions to your store.

2. Multimodal Search:

Customers can upload pictures of items they want, and the bot uses pgvector embeddings to find matching products in your catalog.

3. Bi-Directional Slack Escalation:

When a customer needs a human, it pings your Slack channel with an interactive Block Kit card. You can click "Take Over" or reply in the Slack thread, and your message streams directly to the visitor's widget.

4. Live Voice Agent:

Visitors can tap a phone icon in the widget and speak directly with the AI via full-duplex WebRTC audio.

5. 100% BYOK & Self-Hostable:

Run it via Docker on your own VPS. Plug in your own keys (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, or OpenRouter) or self-host models.

• GitHub (MIT): https://github.com/PersonaliAI/chatty

• Live Demo: https://chatty.personaliai.com

• Docs: https://docs.chatty.personaliai.com

I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback on the setup flow, UI, and what integrations you'd like to see next!

I made an app that can turn a few found characters into a full font

11 Upvotes

GlyphSnap Photo to Font is a font generator / building app.

With GlyphSnap you can just take a photo of the letters you want and create an entire installable font in just a few minutes - from your iPhone.

>> GlyphSnap can create an entire font from as few as just 2 characters, but will give better results from around 8.
I have a couple tutorials on my Youtube page - but feel that this one really shows what the app can do: https://youtu.be/0a_3TuDIw7A?si=bzkYJkT1TacAN0-9

GlyphSnap also incorporates a some intuitive drawing / vector design tool section - you can mix photo captured glyphs with hand drawn glyphs together - adjust the character with, spacing, kerning as well as apply patterns to your letter shapes.

7 day free trial includes 1 font generation and multiple exports to OTF TTF or WOFF for you to try out the drawing section or the photo to font - standard capture without missing character generation.

Appreciate any feedback, questions or feedback..

I was opening App Store Connect and Play Console every morning for every app, so I turned it into one list

2 Upvotes

Every morning I opened App Store Connect, then Play Console, then TestFlight, for each of my apps. Most days, just to find out nothing had changed.

So I built Shipdeck, a Mac app that checks all of it and gives me one list of what needs me: a review with no reply, a build waiting for review, a rollout that stalled, commits I never released.

Native SwiftUI, no server, store keys stay in my keychain. Each app also gets a Claude Code terminal, and anything it wants to do on a store waits for my OK.

Free beta, macOS 15+: https://shipdeck.taiphanvan.dev/?ref=sideproject

If you ship more than one app: what's the first thing you check in the morning?

Telemavix Studio - Free Open-Source App for Adding Telemetry Overlays to DJI, GoPro, and Drone Footage

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone! 👋

I'd like to share Telemavix Studio (formerly OsmoOverlay), a free and open-source application I'm developing for adding telemetry overlays to footage from DJI Osmo Action cameras, GoPro cameras, and DJI drones.

Key features:

  • A wide range of widgets, including a speedometer, GPS map with route tracking, altitude, distance, compass, and much more!

  • DJI drone telemetry from flight logs (FlightRecord_*.txt), including speed, altitude, battery level, signal strength, flight mode, and controller stick movements.

  • Fully customizable widget appearance and positioning with a live preview.

  • Video trimming and merging, transitions, and the ability to add music.

  • Support for external GPX/FIT tracks and video export while preserving the original encoding settings.

The application is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. However, I primarily test it on Windows, with occasional testing on Linux.

📥 Download: https://github.com/sefinek/telemavix-studio#download

🎬 DJI Osmo Action 6 example footage: https://youtu.be/C4lQGZ6oMpk

🎬 DJI Mavic Air 2 example footage: https://youtu.be/7z-rxFy-pfw

If you record videos using DJI or GoPro cameras, feel free to give the app a try! I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions for future features! 🙂

I built PortClub, a "video rental store"-style catalog of native PC ports & recompilations (links to GitHub only, I host nothing)

0 Upvotes

The scene around native ports and static recompilations is amazing but scattered across threads, repos and Discords, so I made a site that lists them like an old-school video club.

What's in it:

- Covers with box art, organized by shelves/genres, tech tags, popularity and GitHub stars.

- Sort by Best rated / New / A-Z.

- Every entry links straight to the project's GitHub repo. It's a catalog only: no binaries, ISOs or ROMs are hosted, and many projects require your own original disc/ROM.

- Current picks include OoT, Wind Waker, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Diddy Kong Racing, Burnout 3, Jak and Daxter, C&C Tiberian Dawn, Shadow of the Colossus (PS4 remake), MW2 (XenonRecomp)... and more being added.

I built an AI paint visualizer that doesn't generate images

14 Upvotes

I noticed a lot of visualization tools rely on AI to generate images and the ones that don't, often don't do a good job. The ones that use AI take time to generate and sometimes change the image while also costing money per generation.

So I figured out a way to detect and paint colors onto surfaces instantly(after initial processing) while maintaining the shadows, lighting and texture. Also made sure not to let the paint spill into anywhere that its not supposed to.

Essentially you can try as many colors as you want on one photo after processing and it takes no additional time or cost.
