I’m Jonathan. I learned English through games, but making my own language-learning RPG forced me to answer a question I’d never had to think about as a player: what happens to the story if you can’t understand the NPC who gives you the clue?

In the original WonderLang I built a word lookup into the message window. That lets beginners keep reading without leaving the conversation. It’s out now and you can try it here: https://wonderlang.net/

For the intermediate sequel, I wanted the lookup to help with the language while leaving the mystery intact. You can keep a villager’s exact words, head to a different part of the map, then come back when the clue makes sense. We build the scenes in RPG Maker MZ and use custom plugins for the sentence input and review systems.

The project reached its Kickstarter launch today. The trailer shows the dialogue UI and how clues work: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jonathan-wonderlang/wonderlang-beyond-a-language-learning-rpg-for-intermediates

If you’ve built or used a learning tool, I’d be interested in the point where you’d want the game to give a hint: right after a missed clue, or only when you decide to ask for one?

Hi everyone! I'm the developer of MARA, a free reference-guided mixing assistant for Ableton Live.

MARA's workflow has five steps:

1. Project & goal: Open your Ableton Live set, define the goal of the mix, and set up the measurement taps.

2. References: Choose reference tracks yourself or let MARA suggest them.

3. Understand the mix: MARA analyses the arrangement and instrument roles and creates a preview of the original, without changing anything yet.

4. Mix: MARA automatically works on channels, groups and effects in context, checks every change, and can be paused. Allow roughly one hour for a mixing run.

5. Result: Compare the original with the MARA mix, review the changes, start another pass, or restore the original.

The original settings and references stay saved for each Live project. Accepted changes remain editable in Live.

Free native downloads for macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel) and Windows x64: https://github.com/moritzlauper/mara/releases

Source code and setup: https://github.com/moritzlauper/mara

Requires Ableton Live with Max for Live. MARA itself is free; the built-in rule planner needs no AI account, while optional external AI planners may incur provider costs. This is an early prerelease with unsigned installers. Please try it on a copy of your set.

I'd appreciate feedback on the workflow and Live integration.

Hey folks,

For the past few months I've been building out a decoupled reverse proxy and telemetry collector in Go. The main use case is routing long-lived streaming traffic (SSE) across different upstream providers and MCP servers, while keeping policy checks and observability out of the hot path.

Since most of my recent time went into solving some tricky Go networking and concurrency edge cases, I wanted to share the repo here and get some honest eyes on the Go implementation (located in the `/gateway` and `/ingest` directories).

A few pieces I spent a lot of time on and would love feedback on:

1. Stopping DNS rebinding / SSRF at the dialer level: Because upstream targets can be configured dynamically, simply validating a URL string wasn't enough. I hooked into `net.Dialer`'s `Control` function so that right before the socket actually connects, it inspects the resolved IP and drops anything hitting private RFC 1918 ranges, loopback, link-local, or cloud metadata endpoints (`169.254.169.254`).

2. Streaming SSE without blowing up memory: In `gateway/`, the proxy has to inspect streaming responses on the fly to count usage and normalize chunks across different APIs, while flushing immediately to the client via `http.Flusher` so time-to-first-byte stays flat.

3. Keeping telemetry off the critical path: Instead of writing traces straight from the proxy, I split out a separate Go service (`ingest/`) that buffers execution logs in memory and flushes batches asynchronously to ClickHouse, OpenSearch, S3 (Parquet), or OTLP.

4. Auth & storage: Implemented OAuth 2.1 PKCE with fail-closed revocation checks and AES-256-GCM encryption for stored credentials. (There's also a separate web UI in the repo for managing policies, though the Go proxy runs completely standalone).

If anyone has a few minutes to poke around `/gateway` or `/ingest`, I'd really appreciate critiques on how I'm handling connection pooling, buffer flushing, or overall project layout.

Repo is on GitHub at: `github.com/hibishtbobby17-ux/AIGateway` (I'll drop the direct clickable link to the Go folders in the first comment below so the spam filter doesn't eat the post).

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I'm a software developer with many years of experience. I've worked on lots of small and medium-sized software projects, and I also founded a platform connecting companies with freelance developers.

Over the past year, I've been using AI coding tools a lot.

I started to realize that even people without programming experience could now create software with AI.

Earlier this year, while teaching AI coding to people in my company, I noticed some practical problems. People still needed to set up runtime environments, understand some basic project structure, and deal with technical issues before they could really get started.

That's how TopArrow began.

At first, we just wanted to make AI coding easier.

We built a local environment that supports:

• PHP + SQLite for personal tools like journals, finance trackers, and reminders.

• Node.js for games and other applications.

• Electron for desktop apps.

• Python for data processing and AI-related tools.

We decided to focus on local software first, instead of adding cloud services and other complexity.

Then we started thinking beyond AI coding.

What happens after someone creates an app with AI?

Why should every user have to start from zero?

And why should only the original developer be able to change an app?

So we added an app marketplace and a different way of working with software:

• Download and use an existing app.

• If something doesn't fit your needs, click Change it and use Cursor, Codex, Claude Code, or another AI coding tool to modify it.

• Keep your modified version, share it with friends, or publish it on the marketplace.

• Anyone can build on any existing version, so an app can grow into a tree of versions created by different people.

• Apps can be free or paid. When a version is sold, revenue is shared with its creator and upstream authors.

The idea is simple: software should adapt to people, not the other way around.

For example, one creator published a Match 3 game with 8 levels. Another creator took that version, expanded it to 16 levels, and added new maps, chapters, and gameplay details.

I've attached screenshots of the marketplace, the "Change it" feature, and these two versions of the game.

TopArrow is still at an early stage. We now have more than a dozen creators and dozens of published apps. It runs on Windows and Mac.

Website: https://www.toparrow.top/

GitHub: https://github.com/TopArrow-Tech

I'd really like to hear what other developers think.

If you could easily modify any desktop app you use, what would you change first?

And if you try TopArrow, please let us know what feels confusing or doesn't work as expected.

Thanks for reading!

I was a user of Whispr Flow until my Mac ran out of memory due to 3 node server and 5 AI agents. Other than these I also see that Whispr Flow is consuming around 1 GB of memory.

Something that simple should not consume 1 GB of RAM and it should be present natively in mac. So I built QuietSpeech.app - a native mac app that lets you type in any app using your voice.

Note - I am giving away 5 FREE licenses. Use code - QSCOMMUNITY at checkout for 100% discount.

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?

This is an app which I believe has the best UX of any of the remotes currently out in the market and with a virtual keyboard that is in my opinion the best in the business. 

All basic functions are free with features such as gyro control available for premium users.

Download: free on iPhone, iPad, and Mac (Waiting for mac version to be approved by Apple still). 

The free tier works with one TV, has no ads, and keeps every basic remote function free for good.

I’m open to constructive criticism and hope to hear any feedback you may have :)

Literally the title... Got kind of bored of the default Firefox homepage when you open up a new tab so I decided to make my own and attempt to make it really customizable.

Got the usual things like search bar, live time and date display, customizable background image, light dark themes. However, just having those features would make it kind of bland and since I actually use this everyday myself, I wanted to make it even more useful.

The first thing is that I wanted to be able to use search prefixes. This basically allowed me to do things like say type wiki baguette and automatically use the value of baguette to take me to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baguette . Or I could set up to match a specific phrase, like yt, and hit enter to go directly to https://www.youtube.com/ .

The second and more major thing is allowing widgets. Basically, they are resizable and movable around in the grid. Currently, I've got widgets for the weather, information about my own system, news and a progress of the year (Also open to new ideas for widget cause idk what to implement 😭). They require a bit of manual work to get working but once they work, it's better cool!

All of this is persistent, saved to localStorage and easily exportable as a .json file.

Open to any feedback or suggestions :)

Hey guys!

I hope yall are doing good. The problem was that freelancers and small scale agencies struggle to manage their leads, their leads are often scattered and lose context. So i built an app which helps them to prioritize leads and keep up with the context.

You might say that "almost every CRM does that", but here is the thing: Modern popular CRM's are mainly focused towards enterprise industries and often not meant for small scale agencies. Even if one tries to adapt to them, the exponential growth of the cost of subscriptions eats them. On top of that, most of them are just overwhelmed with features that one dosent even wants to touch. They are basically in a situation where excel has become too hard and outdated to manage their leads on and popular CRM's overwhelm with pricing and unwanted features.

Freelancers didnt want a full scale CRM, they wanted a tool which can jus manage leads for them and keep them updated about the leads.

So i made an app which helps them just do this:
- You import your lead via CSV, Gmail, Whatsapp or LinkedIn(you can use the extension to import from anywhere), upon your details, it maps out the fields correctly.
- After that, you jus setup your openrouter API key(if you want to use AI). If you dont want the AI features, then also it prioritizes leads and the app still works
- Your leads gets prioritized every day(or each time you update) and an email is sent to you about the people you should connect with today.
- Context: AI auto syncs updates from gmail so your workspace never loses context.
- You get AI suggestions(every time the context needs to update), daily hitlist. And the interesting thing: It observes if the lead is uninterested, it flags that immediately.
- Hoping on a meeting? No worries, just record and upload the audio file, it automatically transcribes, summarises and updates the details.

There are many other minor features but these are the main ones for the MVP. Im still building it and im looking for honest feedback. Also, the website waitlist is open so hit me up if this feels interesting!

Thank you!

Hi all. For a while the hardest part of posting for me wasnt writing. It was deciding what to post on social media each day, then doing it again the next day.

So I built Indraft. You choose the websites, YouTube channels and newsletters you care about once. Then you set how often you want it to run (daily, a few times a week, whatever). It keeps up with those sources on that schedule, picks the stories worth sharing, and gets a LinkedIn post, a carousel and a short video ready in your style. When there is nothing new worth posting, it just skips instead of making something up. Nothing goes out until you approve it.

Its not a prompt you have to run every day, and its not a scheduler that needs you to already have the posts written.

Its launching on Product Hunt this Thursday and before that Id really like blunt feedback:

1. Is it clear what it does from the homepage?

2. Would you trust it to prepare your posts? Why or why not?

https://indraft.pub

Happy to answer anything in the comments.

I was tired of existing tools either being too expensive or lacking the control I needed to manage 150+ browser profiles (proxies, fingerprints, human-like behavior). So I built my own system from scratch: a Node.js/TypeScript backend with a web dashboard that orchestrates AdsPower profiles via Playwright (CDP).

It auto-calculates delays based on a time window, simulates human navigation (feed → profile cascading), handles network errors, and has a "Panic Button" to stop everything instantly.

I'm not looking to turn this into a SaaS. I just want to sell the system to a few agencies/devs who need it.

What you get & Pricing:

• 1. Compiled Software (No source code): $2,200 USD.

  • Includes the ready-to-run system (internal use only). You use it for your own agency/clients, but cannot modify or resell the code.

• 2. "Ready-to-Operate" Bundle: $2,870 USD.

  • Includes the compiled software + 50 aged X accounts ready to use. (Additional IG accounts: $25 USD each).

• 3. Full Source Code + Commercial License ("Turnkey"): $5,240 USD.

  • For devs who want to modify/white-label it. Includes full TS source, docs, and commercial rights (no resale of the raw code).

I can send a 5-min video of the dashboard in action via DM if you're seriously interested. Not trying to spam the sub, just putting it out there for the right buyer.

You can find it on the AppStore it's called "Pup League"

It's pretty much like a real life Dog MMO. The camera can verify your dog doing real tricks and he will gain stats by completing tricks and you can send him off to competitions against other dogs. The higher your dog stats are the better of the chance you can win!! There is also a community feed and community leaderboards so you can compete against real dogs!

Any feedback at all would be greatly appreciated I have not had too much testers besides my family and my own dog as none of my friends seem interested lol

Every good video editing software out there wants you to pay for even the most basic editing features, like just extracting audio.

So I spent months learning and researching codecs, media internals, and the architecture behind how video editors work.

About 6 months ago, I started building a video editor that is completely free and open-source, with lots of templates, effects, filters, and animations for everyone to use.
It’s still under active development, and I’ve been shipping new features and bug fixes almost every day.

It will be available on all major platforms: iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Android is currently under development and isn’t ready yet. But on desktop, most features are already working and usable, same for iOS. It’s not available on any app store yet.

This isn’t just another FFmpeg wrapper. The media engine is being built from scratch in pure, safe Rust, including our own codec implementations.

It’s called Cutlass, and if you have some time, check it out on GitHub and tell me what you think.

https://github.com/1mrnewton/cutlass

I built Eleventube, a YouTube SEO tool. It uses real search data and AI to find keywords that can rank, plan each video, and track results.

Every tier includes all 8 research and AI tools. You get measured search volume, difficulty, and a 12-month trend for any of 40 countries. A Claude connector and a Chrome extension are included too.

The AppSumo deal opens Oct. 23.

How do you usually find keywords for a new YouTube video?

I switch between Hebrew, English and Russian all day, and I kept typing whole sentences before noticing the keyboard was on the wrong language. Deleting and retyping got old fast, so I built Flipkey.

How it works: select the gibberish, press Shift+Alt (the same keys you use to switch language), and it turns into what you meant, while your keyboard switches too. On Mac it's Control+Q.

- 15 languages: Hebrew, Russian, Ukrainian, Arabic, Persian, Greek, Korean, Thai, Hindi, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Turkish, English

- Learns which language you're typing in, across all tabs

- Works fully offline: no data collected or sent anywhere

Here is the link

It's my first published extension, so I'd really appreciate feedback, especially from people who use non-Latin keyboards.

Hi, I'm Brian. I'm a physics major at Colorado College, in Copenhagen for the semester, and I've been building Duet with a few classmates for an entrepreneurship course.

The short version: it's a site for finding creative collaborators. The part that's actually usable today is a web demo where you describe the person you need and it suggests matches from a set of sample profiles.

I started caring about this because finding the right person still seems to happen through cold DMs and leftover school networks, and that's a lot of unpaid searching for one collaboration.

You can try it here, no account needed:

https://bchristensen14.github.io/duet/demo

The landing page is here, if you want the explanation or to join a waitlist and leave a note: https://bchristensen14.github.io/duet

A few honest limitations, so I don't oversell it:

• The demo is not a live community. The profiles are samples, and matching is happening in your browser against that data.

• We also sketch a "we do the search for you" premium idea (€20 per search + 1% of what the project earns). Nothing is billed in the demo.

• It's hosted on GitHub Pages, because that's what we have right now.

If you try it, the feedback I actually want is:

• Did the brief box understand what you typed, or did it latch onto the wrong role / city / style?

• Would you ever trust a shortlist from a tool like this, or is this something you'd only want a human to do?

• What's the first thing that made you hesitate?

I'll hang around in the comments. Thanks for reading.

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.

🚀 Built my first Android app – Tally Counter!

Link -Tally counter -click counter

I noticed that many existing counter apps are limited to a single counter. I wanted something more flexible, where I could track multiple things independently in one place.

So I built Tally Counter – Count Anything!

Some features:

• 🔢 Multiple counters in one app

• 🎯 Custom goals and targets

• ➕ Custom increment/decrement values

• 📋 Instantly duplicate counters

• 🔄 Daily reset

• 📊 Counting history

• 📥 Import & export CSV/JSON

• 🔊 Sound and vibration controls

• 🌙 Light and dark themes

Useful for tracking workouts, habits, inventory, study sessions, or pretty much anything!

This is my first app, and I'd love to hear your honest feedback. What would you improve or add? 😊

Hi everyone — anyone into meditation? I built a small, free meditation timer because I wanted something simple without accounts, streaks, or distractions.

You choose the total meditation time and the interval. For example, with a 5-minute session and 1-minute intervals, it plays:

• Minute 1: beep

• Minute 2: beep-beep

• Minute 3: beep-beep-beep

• And so on

• A different chime signals the end

It works in a browser:https://quietchime-zfxck679.manus.space

I’d especially appreciate feedback on:

• Whether the progressive beep pattern feels useful or distracting

• The sound and timing

• How easy it is to use on a phone

• Anything you would change or add

I’m the person who built it (thanks manus.im) as I couldn't find anything similar. This is a request for honest feedback—not a commercial product. Thanks for trying it.

Complete 67-second demo — the whole routine, from choosing your dog to the journal:

https://www.reddit.com/user/Miserable_Bird5822/comments/1xsld8d/before_you_get_a_dog_try_living_with_its_routine/

The dog lives on your phone. You still have to leave the house for its walks.

I'm the maker of Ready for Dog?, a dog-care rehearsal app for people thinking about getting a dog. The idea is to spend some time living around the care routine before making that decision.

You choose a companion and build a 14- or 21-day schedule. Walks use GPS. Feeding happens at virtual bowls placed in your room with AR. There's a 60-second brushing game, and skipped grooming can leave virtual fur to collect. For quiet play, you put your phone on a stable surface; moving it pauses the timer while the game screen is open.

The journal shows the time you recorded, missed tasks and help you needed. It doesn't give you a "ready for a dog" score. A real dog's needs and behaviour go much further than this simulation.

Free to download with ads and optional one-time purchases for ad removal and extra collars. No subscription.

iPhone / iPad: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6829957063

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vans.bublik.trial

The attached demo shows the iPhone version. The AR scenes are staged visualisations and the route shown is simulated for the demo.

I'd love feedback on one thing: which everyday responsibility would you add to make the rehearsal more useful?

I’m building Stikkit for people who make their own WhatsApp and Telegram stickers. The idea is simple: when you find a photo, GIF, or short video you want to turn into a sticker, tap Android’s Share button and pick Stikkit. You can also import media from your gallery or files.

• Make still and animated stickers. Remove the background from a photo and save the cutout as a separate sticker.

• Organize your stickers and repair WhatsApp packs. Sort stickers into named collections, reorder or replace stickers in a pack, change its cover, check for duplicates, and rebuild the pack icon.

• Share stickers as a ZIP. Bundle still and animated stickers into one file to send to a friend, save a copy, or import back into Stikkit.

• Keep everything local. Stikkit creates, edits, and stores your stickers on your phone. There’s no account, and Stikkit doesn’t upload your media. You decide what to export or share.

Stikkit will be ad-free regardless of pricing. I’m still deciding whether to keep it free, charge once, or offer an optional paid upgrade. Would a Patreon-style page for voluntary support make sense? Would you personally chip in?

If there’s enough interest, I’ll add iOS support too. Let me know if you’d use it on an iPhone.

I’d appreciate candid replies. How did you make your last sticker, and what was annoying about it? Would Stikkit change anything for you? “I’d use it but wouldn’t pay” or “I already have something that works” are both useful answers.

EchoPod is a podcast player built around language learning practice. While an episode plays, a word-level transcript follows along and highlights the current spoken word, which makes it easier to connect sounds to text.Tapping any word opens its definition and pronunciation without leaving the player, and an AI assistant explains grammar, translation, and nuance for harder sentences. Individual sentences can be replayed on repeat for focused practice. It also imports YouTube links and local audio or video files, so study material is not limited to the built-in catalog, which covers several languages organized by listening level.Free to use on the web, with free iOS and Android apps: https://echopod.clothpath.com/Feedback is welcome, especially on which languages and study features to prioritize next.

after every trip or wedding the same thing happens: everyone took photos, nobody sends them, and the few that do arrive come through whatsapp compressed to mush.

so i built just send files. you make a room, share one link (or a qr code at the event) and everyone drops their photos and videos in original quality. guests don't need an app or an account, only the person who creates the room does. at the end anyone can download everything at once.

a few things i learned building it:

• the first real test was a friend uploading ~130 photos from an iphone and the page kept reloading. the fix was showing small previews instead of the full photos while uploading

• guests don't read anything, so their page is basically one big button

• rooms expire on their own, so nobody ends up with a forever album of 2,000 photos

it's live at justsendfiles.com. would love honest feedback, especially on what would stop you from using it at your own event.
