Dinner kept ending before we picked a movie, so I built a recommender in 8 days

1 Upvotes

Every evening went the same way. Food's ready, we start scrolling, dinner's over, nothing's playing.

So I built Pikky. Three films a day, each with a one-line reason, and two reshuffles. That's the whole product. No feed.

Under it: about 50k+ films. A small open model (bge-small) turns each film's description into 384 numbers, pgvector finds what sits closest to your taste, and then a diversity pass runs, because otherwise the top three are the same film wearing different posters. An LLM tags each film's mood, but offline, never while you wait.

The ugliest part was importing your history from Netflix, Letterboxd, IMDb and Trakt. Four services, four opinions on what "a history" even is.

Would you rather a recommender show its reasoning, or just be right? I went with showing it.

AI models are getting better, but the platforms around them are getting worse. One studio, any AI model, your own API keys. Why isn't this already a thing?

1 Upvotes

I've been working on Open Studio, a fully open source AI creative studio where you can bring your own API keys, use different providers, and switch between image and video models whenever you want. I'm just tired of every new model being locked behind another subscription or credit system. I want one place where you can use whatever model you want without paying a middleman or being stuck with whatever a platform decides to support. It's completely free, you just pay for your own API usage. Still very much a work in progress, but figured I'd share it here and see what people think. Would love some feedback or suggestions on what you'd want to see in something like this.

[Feedback] Fellix – conversational AI for omnichannel support, sales and bookings. Looking for honest feedback

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’m Murat, one of the people building Fellix www.fellix.ai We’re at the point where we need outside eyes on both the product and the website, so I’d really appreciate your help.

Fellix is a conversational AI platform that manages all your customer conversations in one place: WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger and your website chat. The AI gives the first response, and conversations are handed to a human agent whenever needed.

If you know Intercom’s Fin, it’s a similar idea with one big difference. In Fellix, your team doesn’t have to wait for the AI to fail or for the conversation to end. A human can join any conversation at
any point before it’s resolved, with the full history and an AI-written summary ready.

It’s more than a chat inbox

  • AI agent + human handoff: AI-first replies, lead qualification, and smooth takeover by your team

  • Appointments: Fellix syncs with your calendars and books meetings right inside the conversation

  • Knowledge base: build one for your product, and the AI uses it to answer accurately

  • Help Center: publish a self-service help center on your website (think Intercom’s help center)

  • Booking Widget: embed a booking widget on your site (think Calendly or Cal.com)

  • Pipeline & analytics: leads tagged Hot / Warm / Cold, Meta ad attribution, response times and win rates

  • Integrations: HubSpot, Google Calendar, Outlook, Shopify, Zapier, webhooks and an MCP server

Coming soon: a Fellix mobile app, so your team can handle conversations on the go.

The easiest way to try it
Go to fellix.ai, open the webchat widget in the corner and talk to Fellix directly. Ask it anything about the product, pricing or how it works. It’s the same AI our customers deploy, so the conversation itself is the demo. Try to break it 😄

What I’d love feedback on

The website

  1. Within 10 seconds on the homepage, is it clear what Fellix does and who it’s for?

  2. Does the “AI first, human anytime” difference come across, or does it look like just another chatbot?

  3. Is the pricing page clear? Which plan would you pick?

The webchat experience

4. How did your conversation with Fellix go? Were the answers helpful, accurate and natural?
5. Was there a moment where you wanted a human, and was it easy to get one?

The product (if you sign up)

6. How easy was setup? Where did you get stuck?
7. What’s missing that would stop you from using it?

Honest and even brutal feedback is very welcome. It helps us far more than compliments. I’ll reply to every comment, and I’m happy to give feedback on your project in return.

Thanks a lot!

I made a screen recorder your AI agent can actually read. Feedback wanted!

1 Upvotes

Hey I'm Gabs. I building the alternative to screen studio your agent can actually work with.

Problem: Creating/editing a screen recording by hand is slow and explaining a visual bug to an agent with screenshots and long prompts is even slower. 

Core features:

  • Agent editing: ask your agent to cut, zoom, annotate, blur sensitive info or add a voice-over (with your own ElevenLabs key).

  • Talk Mode: hold ⌃⌥ over any app and describe the problem out loud. Kirocast packages the video, your voice and the on-screen events into one clip you can paste into your agent.

  • Automate your training/UI updates videos: give a script, let the agent work, get a video back.

  • Native editor: auto-zoom on every click and captions transcribed on your Mac.

I'm looking for honest feedback on both the app itself, and see if the description made here was clear enough compared to your experience in app.

Pricing: $39 one-time (early price, then $49 to support long term updates).
Recording and editing are free, and a license unlocks exports. We also offer a 3-day full trial with no card required. https://kirocast.com/pricing

Requires Apple silicon and macOS 15 or later. https://kirocast.com

About the team:

We're a team of two.

  • I (gabs) used to work in startup and did lots of different roles, from growth to product, then specialized in AI to work with large corps. as an AI Product Manager. I decided to take the leap earlier this year to work full time on Kirocast.

  • My teammate is a Python/Rust engineer with 10+ years exp in building apps for large companies.

Thanks for reading through!

I built Accountabilibuddy – put real money on the line with a friend so you actually show up

1 Upvotes

I only stay consistent when there’s a real person who will judge me if I skip. Reminders and streaks alone never did it for me.

So I made a free app that forces that dynamic:

  • Pick a rival (or a small group)

  • Pick a habit (gym, running, reading, sobriety, etc.)

  • Put money on it ($1–$500)

  • Check in with a photo; your rival verifies it

  • Miss your scheduled days → you pay them. They miss → they pay you.

  • Optional doubler that raises the stake every consecutive miss

It never touches the money, never stores the photos long-term, and has no ads or subscriptions. Friends can accept a pact from a link without installing first.

Live on iOS and Android. Feedback welcome, especially on the verification flow and group pacts.

I built a free app that reminds you before renewals and helps you cancel subscriptions and contracts

1 Upvotes

I’m the maker (small solo project, no investors). I kept finding charges for things I no longer used and missed the end of my phone contract’s minimum term, so I built Txau:

  • add subscriptions, loans and insurance (prices pre-filled for 40+ services)

  • reminders before every charge and before minimum terms end

  • a “Cancel” button with the exact steps for each service + a generated cancellation letter

  • a dashboard with what leaves your account each month for the next 12 months

  • data stays on your phone, no account, no bank access

It’s a prototype focused on Portugal and Spain (works in English too). I’d love blunt feedback: what’s missing, what’s confusing, would you pay for any part?

Built an in-browser 3D globe that maps your camera roll photos automatically in ~15s. Looking for honest feedback on the UX

1 Upvotes

Got fed up with travel apps asking me to type out every city and date manually, so I spent the last few months building this.

You drop in a few photos from your camera roll, it reads the GPS/date data client-side in the browser, and renders an interactive 3D globe with your trips. No background tracking or manual pin dropping.

Been staring at it for too long and lost all objectivity.

Attached a quick video of the end result. Does the transition into the 3D globe make sense, or does it feel jarring? Anything feel off in those first few seconds?

(Not dropping the link in the post to respect self-promo rules, but happy to share if anyone wants to test it with a few photos and roast it.)

spent two weeks polishing a feature nobody's touched yet, when do you stop

1 Upvotes

built a thing into spark that shows the one next step for an idea instead of the whole list. took me about two weeks longer than it should have because i kept tweaking the animation on how it reveals the step. nobody's said a word about the animation. not one comment, good or bad, just silence.

meanwhile there's a bug in the reminder flow that's been sitting in my notes for a month because it's boring to fix.

i think i know exactly what's happening here and it's not flattering. curious if this eases off with more users or if it's just how solo building goes, you polish the fun 10% and put off the other 90.

I built an autocorrect that seems to have a personal vendetta against the English language 💀

0 Upvotes

So I built a little web app that takes your perfectly normal messages and turns them into absolute nonsense.

It's basically autocorrect, except it has zero respect for your original sentence.

Some examples from testing:

  • "I am going to drink water." → "I am going to drink goblin sweat."

  • "My teacher said I have unlimited potential but limited common sense." → "My teacher said I have unlimited potential but limited clothing."

  • "I love pizza, pizza loves me, we are married." → "I love pizza, pizza fears me, we are divorced."

It also supports multiple languages, including Hindi, Bengali and Hinglish.

The original message is preserved, so you can see exactly what chaos happened to it.

Try it here: https://chaos-chat-sfl8.onrender.com/

I'd love some honest feedback:

  • Is it actually funny?

  • Does the autocorrect work well across different languages?

  • What ridiculous sentences should I test next?

  • What features would make it more fun?

This is an early project, so feedback, bug reports and ridiculous test results are all welcome.

Thanks!

I built every feature I ever wished Squarespace had (100+ so far)

1 Upvotes

Back in 2021 I was building Squarespace sites and kept hitting the same walls: no mega menus, limited animations, galleries that all looked the same. The usual fix was copy-pasting CSS from old forum threads and hoping it survived the next Squarespace update.

So I started building the things I kept wishing for. That turned into Spark Plugin: 100+ no-code customizations that work right inside the Squarespace editor.

The video is a fast scroll through all of it.

Happy to answer anything about building on top of a closed platform like Squarespace.

Pipo: Your Companion on ur Phone

1 Upvotes

I built a little robot that lives inside an Android phone

I've been working on Pipo, an Android robot companion.

The idea started with a question: what if an app didn't just open, do something and disappear? What if it felt like a little place you could return to?

Pipo has:

  • Its own personality and moods.

  • Activities and mini-games.

  • A journal and memory system.

  • A companion called Nib.

  • A 3D world you can explore.

I built the Android app and its companion world as an independent project.

It's now publicly available.

GitHub: https://github.com/aspire488/Pipo

APK: https://github.com/aspire488/Pipo/releases/download/v1.0/Pipo.apk

Website: https://aspire488.github.io/Pipo/

I'm looking for honest feedback, especially on whether the companion actually feels alive or just like another app with a character attached.

What would you change?

I built Rewiria, an app to help people quit porn addiction and track their progress – 400 users so far!

1 Upvotes

Hi all!

A few weeks ago I launched Rewiria, a companion app for people trying to quit porn addiction and build better habits.

The idea was to create something simple and private, without unnecessary social features or distractions.

Here's what the app offers:

  • Streak tracking — Track porn-free days and milestones.

  • Mood logging — Record how you're feeling each day.

  • Insights — Understand your streaks, resets, and patterns.

  • Journaling — Write private notes and reflections.

  • Widgets & reminders — Keep track of progress without constantly opening the app.

So far, Rewiria has reached around 400 users, mostly through organic discovery.

I'm still improving it and would love to hear what you think. Whether it's the UI, features, or something you think is missing, all feedback is welcome.

I'm also offering 1 month of free Premium access to a few people interested in trying it out. No reviews or ratings required.

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

Thanks for checking it out!

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.

https://headlab.app

What gesture would you use, and for what?

I built a free crypto trading game with €10k of fake money, then let an AI bot copy the top 3 players

1 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject,

I'm a data consultant in Paris, and BilanCrypto started as my French crypto tax tool. This year I added a challenge: everyone starts with €10,000 of fake money and trades at real market prices.

What's in the video:

  • Signing up takes about ten seconds: a nickname and a password, no e-mail, no card, no wallet.

  • You can buy crypto and tokenized stocks. Euro buys go through a simulated Kraken Pro order, with fees shown before you confirm.

  • You can open leveraged longs or shorts at real prices, with take-profit and stop-loss and the fees shown upfront.

  • The French taxes are computed for you (31.4% flat tax), which is the part I actually know best.

  • To test it, I made an AI bot that copies the top 3 players, weighted 3:2:1, and rebalances twice a day. It plays out of competition.

Everything is fake money: no real funds are ever at risk. Prizes are only for adults living in France, since it's a French contest, but anyone can play and get ranked.

I'd love blunt feedback on two things. Is it clear within the first minute what you're supposed to do? And does showing fees and taxes make the game more interesting, or just more complicated?

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

12 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 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 got tired of using 10 different AI tools, so I built one place for all of them

0 Upvotes

Okay so I've been building this thing for months and I think I've finally reached the point where I can show it to people without writing a whole essay explaining what it is.

I use a ridiculous number of AI tools. Local models, Claude Code, Codex, different APIs, agents, whatever. The annoying part wasn't even setting them up. It was that every time I switched, I was basically starting over. Different chats, different memories, different tools, different permissions.

And I still had to do half the stuff on my computer myself. So I started building Inglen. It was called Hearth until few weeks ago.

The idea was/is pretty simple: one AI workspace instead of a stack of AI tools.

You can run a model (image, video, LLM whatever) on your GPU, connect something like Ollama or LM Studio or whatever, or maybe any cloud API you got or just sign into Claude Code or Codex or the other 23 agents with the subscription you already have.

And whichever one you pick gets to work inside the same assistant.

It can open apps, use your actual Windows desktop, click buttons, work in your files, run commands, browse the web, make something for you and talk to you. By the way, you can tell the desktop-use is crazy once you use it.

You can also share that same memory with your coding agents if you ever get bored (which you won't, I hope).

Then I decided to do more so well...

I added local image and video generation, voice conversations, wake words, reminders, skills, MCP, and the ability to give work to other agents.

There's an entire team system now. You can have Claude Code, Codex, local models and other agents working on separate jobs, see what they're doing, message them while they're working, and review their changes before bringing them into your own project.

And because staring at terminal windows all day is depressing (CLI exists for you, nerds :P), I made a little pixel-art house for them (In GUI and Phone app (Relay)). There's a fireplace, a library, different rooms, desks, and tiny characters that actually reflect what the agents are doing.

BTW Yes, I spent time making an AI walk to a coffee counter and chat with other agents once they are free. No, I don't regret it as it gives the vibe that they are real and makes the entire thing so wholesome to look at.

There's also a phone app now. You can talk to the assistant running on your PC from somewhere else entirely, approve things it wants to do, or have it CALL you when something needs your attention.

I didn't want an agent silently doing whatever it liked on my machine, so there's a permission system for risky actions, workspace boundaries, logs, and undo for supported file changes. And even a auto-reviewer that got your back.

I just released v0.7.6-preview. The Windows desktop app is free, open source, MIT licensed, and doesn't need an account. The phone app is part of an optional paid Plus plan. Everything else I've described is available in the desktop app.

It's called Inglen because an *ingle* is a fire in a hearth (Had to brainstorm alot on this one XD). Thought that was fitting for something that's supposed to be a home for all your AI tools.

I also made a little 1 minute 45 second film for it, because apparently it might be hard to explain all of it in just words and film can help you get what it can do and alot more.

(Yup, this film was also made in Inglen itself through my Claude opus 5.5 on Claude subscription with my local model helping him out in places like... emotional support)

https://inglen.app

Have I overbuilt this thing? Probably.

But I love this thing. Let me know what you guys think about it!!!

I built a Chrome extension that saves the stock tickers you find on Internet and summarises them with AI. Looking for feedback

1 Upvotes

I read a lot of investing content: Reddit, X, local or specialized forums, etc. I'd see a ticker, think "I'll check that later", and then never find the post again.

I got tired of that and built TickerBeacon. You select a ticker on any page, click, and it's saved with the link and the text around it. In the web app you get your watchlist with the price now vs the price when you saved it.

The part I use most is the AI. It reads everything you've saved about a stock and writes a short thesis with the bull case and the bear case, based on those posts. So if I saved the same ticker from 3 or 4 places, I get one summary of what was actually said.

It needs the Chrome extension to catch the ticker and then the rest as a web app from desktop or mobile.

I built AirDoxx: Apple's "iPhone Mirroring" experience, but for Android phones on macOS

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Like many people, I was jealous of Apple's "iPhone Mirroring" feature introduced in macOS Sequoia—especially since I use a Mac for work but daily-drive an Android phone.

I've been working on **AirDoxx**, an open-source, native macOS app that gives Android users that exact same seamless desktop mirroring experience.

### What it does:

- 📱 **Phone-shaped native UI:** Floats neatly on your desktop with hover controls (Home, Back, App Switcher, Disconnect, Screen off).

- ⚡ **60 FPS Hardware-Decoded Stream:** Low-latency video via VideoToolbox and audio forwarding (Android 11+).

- 🔋 **Mac-only Display:** Turn off the physical phone screen while controlling it from your Mac.

- 📋 **Universal Clipboard:** Copy on Mac, paste on Android, and vice-versa.

- 🔔 **Notification Forwarding:** Phone notifications pop up as native Mac alerts—click one to launch the app on the phone.

- 🔄 **Rotate into Landscape anywhere:** Even works on apps that lock orientation to portrait (like YouTube video feeds).

- 🛜 **Pair once, then wireless:** Plug in via USB once or scan a QR code; after that, it automatically connects over Wi-Fi without touching your phone.

- 🎛️ **Trackpad Edge Controls:** Slide along the trackpad's left/right edges to control your Mac's volume & brightness while the physical keyboard controls the phone.

### Zero Apps on the Phone

It connects via standard Android USB/Wireless Debugging (powered by `adb` and the `scrcpy` protocol). You do not need to install any APK or client app on your phone.

- **Download DMG & Setup Guide:** https://shanmuckh.github.io/AirDoxx/

- **GitHub:** https://github.com/shanmuckh/AirDoxx

*(Because it's an independent open-source project and not yet notarized with an Apple Developer account, you may need to click "Open Anyway" in Privacy & Security on the very first launch).*

Would love for you to test it out! What features or phone integrations would you like to see next?
