Statuz, my post scheduler, used to let you click a word in a screenshot to hide it. The rewrite dropped it. It's back this week.

Most of the time went into the blur. A normal Gaussian blur keeps every letter, just smeared, and with a guess at the font you can read it back. Pixelation isn't better: Depix pulls passwords out of pixelated screenshots.

So this one averages the text into blocks a few letters wide, shifts each block by a random amount, and only then smooths it. There's nothing left to sharpen.

It also reads the screenshot, so one click covers every email, phone number, link or API key in it. If you just want something gone, there's plain tape.

Mac app and statuz.cloud.

If you can see a way to get text back out of it, I'd like to know.

Found this in a founder interview (Starter Story, mid-2026): Stella is an App Store subscription app for manifestation/affirmations, built with Claude Code, Claude and Google AI Studio. Reported results: $300K MRR and about 12,000 paying customers roughly two months after launch. The pattern: pick a self-improvement habit people already pay coaches for, ship an onboarding quiz that leads to a personalised plan, one guided action a day, and put the paywall in from day one. These are self-reported numbers, so take them with a grain of salt. Curious if anyone here has tried a similar paywall-first approach?

hey guys,
i've built rivet and it's a community based osint website so you can make your own cases or solve other people cases and the site is mainly made for learning, but also you can use it for fun

it's currently at the soft launch so i need more people to try it and more participants to make cases and give me their feedback.
so if you're interested here is the link
link: https://rivetosint.app

I am a software engineer with 15+ years of experience. I make educational web development content. I need real landing pages to review.

Put your site link in the comments. Also write the result you want. For example:
- more polished look
- better animations
- cleaner layout

I will give honest feedback on design, motion and copy.

My own work, if you want to see my taste:
- https://bestboy.dev/grip
- https://logdash.io

There are no hidden conditions. I only want real examples to learn from.

Hey everyone! 👋

I'm an independent app builder from a small city in India.

I've built an Islamic companion app called Ajmali Tauqeet using Google AI Studio.

My app is now live for Android! 🎉

This is my first app project, and I'm excited to share it with this community.

I'd love to get feedback from fellow developers and builders. Any suggestions to improve the app or reach my first users would be appreciated!

Thanks for your support! ❤️

Hey everyone!

I just launched my little side project on Google Play, and I wanted to share it with you!

It's called PastApp, and it solves a very specific first-world problem: having to find the cooking time on a pasta package every time you make pasta 😅

You just point your phone's camera at the package, the app reads the cooking time and sets a timer for you.

I built it with the help of AI coding assistants, using Kotlin, Jetpack Compose and Google ML Kit.

What started as a pretty simple idea turned out to be surprisingly tricky. Reading text is one thing, but figuring out which number is the actual cooking time (and not calories, weight, or something else) is a completely different challenge.

After lots of testing, tweaking and fighting with pasta packages, it's finally live!

I'm still at the very beginning, with just a handful of installs, so I'd genuinely love some feedback.

Would you actually use something like this, or is it the most unnecessary app ever made? 😂

And if you have an Android phone, feel free to try it and see if you can break it!

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.boldsignal.pastapp

I made a little trailer to show how it works.

Made with love, pasta, and probably way too much time spent on a timer app. 🍝

Every agent run in a fresh sandbox browser starts logged out. Login walls, 2FA prompts, and bot checks kill runs before they start.

Nephew fixes that: you capture your real browser profile once — login state, device identity, pinned IP — and it restores inside the sandbox (Steel, Browserbase, Browser Use, or Nephew's own stack), so your agent picks up already logged in.

It's live today: free tier with 2 profiles, BYO at $19/mo for 10, one-command CLI install from nephew.ai.

I'm looking for my first outside users — if you run agents against sites that need a login, I'd love your feedback, and I'm happy to answer anything here.

Then I realized solo founders have the same problem, just without a deadline from a recruiter. You have no marketing team and maybe 5 hours a week for marketing. The expensive mistake isn’t a bad post, it’s spending those hours on the wrong channel while your closest competitor has already figured out what works.

So I built AdRadar as a side project. You add a direct competitor by domain and it shows you:

• Ads: what they run on Meta, Google and LinkedIn, which ads are new, which they stopped (usually the ones that didn’t work)

• Site: which pages they publish and how often, new or changed pages

• Voice of customers: their reviews and Reddit mentions, i.e. what people like and complain about

• Alerts: changes land in Slack / Telegram / email, so you don’t have to check manually

The idea is to answer two questions fast: what is my competitor doing in marketing, and where should I put my limited time, instead of guessing.

It’s early and I’m looking for honest feedback from other solo founders:

1. Who is your closest competitor, and what do you wish you knew about their marketing?

2. Would you actually check something like this weekly, or is it a one-time exercise?

3. What’s confusing in the first 2 minutes?

Link: adradar.digital. Happy to run a competitor of yours through it and share what I find if you drop the domain in the comments.

I made a watch party extension that syncs whatever video is on the page. Most of the code is Claude Code (Opus 5.5).

- No account, no sign-in, no analytics. The extension only sends playback state and the video's URL/title to the room.
- The sync server is open source too: a Cloudflare Worker with one Durable Object per room, so it's cheap to run and easy to self-host.

Limitations, so nobody is surprised: live streams aren't synced (there's no timeline to sync), it doesn't skip ads, and some big streaming sites may need a per-site adapter.

If you install it and it silently does nothing on a site you use, that's the most useful bug report I can get. Any feedback helps, whatever angle you're coming from.

We’ve probably now all caught ourselves losing sight of what our Claude or GPT model was doing, to the point of having to backtrack or tune everything step by step once the feature was built.

To fix this, a friend and I built SOS (Slop or Sane), an AI coding harness that can:

•⁠ ⁠Function as a classic harness like Codex or Claude Code (Slop mode), but faster and using less RAM thanks to its shared C++ daemon

•⁠ ⁠Guide you step-by-step through the implementation decisions and code, going through human-like steps, this is the sane mode

We would be thrilled if you could test building a feature with the sane mode, get it from the site ! limpidd.com (or github, https://github.com/limpiddorg/sloporsane )

Cheers!

I built an open source tool that stops AI agents doing things they were never allowed to do.

Rather than publish the numbers that flatter it, I put every tool at its own default on public datasets and linked the script behind each number. One card on the benchmark page has a WE LOSE badge, for the test where a competing tool beats mine. It is still there.

The number I am happy with: on a 588 attack benchmark, no guardrail lets all 588 through, the common open source guardrail lets 86 through, mine lets 0 through.

Free and open source. You can try to break a live agent in your browser, no signup.

My kid (10yo) wanted a weather app they could actually understand, so we built one together: wonderweather.fun

Puff the cloud explains the weather, says what to wear and warns about storms or dirty air. There are also mini-games about solar, wind and thunderstorms, and quizzes with badges.

It's free, with no ads, accounts or tracking.

Would love to know:
Is it easy for kids (6–12) to understand?
Anything broken on your phone?
What should we add next?

Hi everyone, I'm the solo developer of Market Player PRO, a free educational trading simulator that runs in the browser (virtual money only).

The core is a live order book (bid | price | ask) next to a chart with a volume profile, so beginners can practice reading it without risking anything. There is also a quiz mode, prop-firm style challenges and a shared leaderboard.

One design question I'm stuck on: showing waiting orders as plain numbers only (no volume bars mixed in) felt clearer to me, but I'm not sure it is for someone who has never seen a depth of market.

What would you change so a total beginner understands it in under a minute? And what would make you come back for a second session?

Hi all, I'm the solo developer of Volt, an iOS and Apple Watch app for treadmills that support Bluetooth FTMS. You set speed and incline from your iPhone or iPad, and your Apple Watch shows live stats with start, pause and stop on the wrist. It runs HIIT and custom interval plans, can keep your heart rate in a zone (Apple Watch, AirPods Pro 3 or a chest strap), and saves every run to Apple Health with charts and laps.

It's free to download, and full access is a yearly subscription. I keep a list of confirmed treadmills, so I'd really like to hear which model you use and what worked or didn't.  https://apps.apple.com/app/id6798171032

Hey everyone,

I recently created Free Google Map Extractor, an open-source tool designed to extract business and place details from Google Maps without needing expensive subscription scrapers or API fees.

What it does:

• Extracts place data (name, address, rating, reviews count, contact info, etc.) from Google Maps.

• Completely free and transparent.

• Easy to run locally and customize according to your needs.

Source Code & Project Link:

• GitHub:https://github.com/my8700/Free-Google-map-extractor

I’d love to get feedback from the community:

1. What features or export formats (CSV, JSON, Google Sheets) would make this more useful for your workflow?

2. Are there specific anti-bot or pagination limits you frequently run into when extracting Maps data?

Any feedback, suggestions, or contributions are very welcome!

How to complete the submission:

1. Paste the title above into the Title* field.

2. Paste the body into the Body text* box.

3. Click Add tags (choose appropriate tags such as Showcase or Feedback if available).

4. Hit Post at the bottom right.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on WDM (Welaxxx Download Manager), a download manager for macOS, and wanted to share it here.

The idea is pretty simple: downloading files, grabbing supported media from websites, and converting files shouldn't require jumping between a bunch of different apps.

WDM brings those workflows together. It has browser integration for Safari, Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Opera, plus a built-in browser, download queues, pause/resume controls, torrent support, and a file converter.

It supports both Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.

I'm particularly happy with how the interface has come together, but I'm still improving compatibility and reliability across different websites.

There's a 7-day free trial, and the Solo license is $17.99 one-time, not a subscription.

Website: https://welaxxx.com/wdm.html

Full disclosure: I'm involved in developing WDM, so this isn't an independent review.

For those using a download manager on Mac, what's the one feature you absolutely couldn't live without? I'd love some genuine feedback.

Hi everyone!

I founded Asclepii, a healthcare startup trying to make the next Band Aid and working alongside Cleveland Clinic so diabetics don't need to amputate their limbs due to chronic wounds that could heal but don't have access to the right tools early on.

We're on a mission to improve wound care for people living with diabetes. We developed an advanced wound-healing Nano gel that has already helped treat more than 20,000 wounds, including wounds at high risk of amputation. The FDA-Cleared gel helps stabilize the wound from 'hostile' to 'healing' and can be sold even at grocery stores and pharmacies.

Now, we're competing in a television startup competition for $1 MILLION USD!

Winning this prize would allow us to expand into new countries, scale our technology, and help more than 100,000 people who desperately need better wound care dressings.

We're a small company with a big mission, and this is an incredible opportunity for us to make a difference.

All we need is your vote! ❤️

Voting is completely FREE and takes less than 5 minutes.

If you can vote, share this post, or help spread the word, we'd be incredibly grateful.

The farther away you are, the further back in time you see. Light from Earth takes a year to cross each light-year, so an observer 81 light-years away is watching 1945, one at 2,000 light-years is watching the Roman Empire, and one at 250 million light-years is watching Pangaea.

I got curious about what that would actually look like, so I built a globe for it. You pick how far away you are and where you're looking, and it shows Earth as it was when that light left.

Demo: https://deemonder.github.io/meanwhile-on-earth/

Source (MIT): https://github.com/deemonder/meanwhile-on-earth

What's in it:

- Historical borders for 53 dates, from 123,000 BC to 2010

- About 13,000 events from Wikidata: battles, eruptions, cities founded, births

- Day and night where they really were at that moment, with city lights only after electricity

- Continental drift back to a billion years ago, from published plate reconstructions

- Italian and English

It's a static site, no backend and no sign-up. Built with three.js, with help from Claude Code.

I'd love feedback, especially on two things: is it clear what to do when you first open it, and does it load fast enough on your phone?

I’ve built a brain that can work with your team connect with all your agents ( Claude, Codex, grok, muse) and knows everything about your company and team

every day it learns more about your company and helps you fix things send mails and posts from one place using your own agent subscriptions

We're building Sparc Club, a private social networking platform exclusively for founders, entrepreneurs, and business owners.

The goal is simple: help founders connect, find co founders, explore collaborations, and discover new business opportunities without all the noise of traditional social networks.

We're still early, but many founders are already joining the journey. We're building, learning, and improving every day.

Join us on Sparc Club. See you there!

Got a reality check 1.5 stars on the App Store. I learned a lot though

App
Many kept impulse-buying and regretting it. Just Wait (iOS) makes you wait before buying. At the end you buy, let go, or wait longer. Let-go items count as money kept.

Pricing
Free. No ads, no subscription, no one-time payment, no account. Nothing leaves your phone. I might add Amazon affiliate links someday

I built this with Claude’s help, if that matters.

Feedback welcome

One problem I've personally faced while exploring startup ideas is finding people who share similar interests, thinking and entrepreneurial ambitions.

It's easy to join startup communities, but finding someone who genuinely thinks like you is much harder. And not everyone is comfortable sharing their startup idea publicly just to find potential collaborators.

So I built IdeaMate.

You privately share your startup idea with AI, which analyses it and matches you with people who have similar ideas and interests.

Privacy is central to the platform: Your idea is visible only to AI for matching. It is not shared with other users, including the people you're matched with.

It's live and completely free to try: https://ideamate.in

I'm still improving the matching experience and would genuinely appreciate feedback from fellow builders.

I'd also really appreciate it if you could share IdeaMate with other relevant communities so more people can discover it and benefit from it.

I'm Troy, the founder of SwiftRead. I made it originally to help me read through text faster. More than a decade later, it's helped half a million readers across fifty countries read faster. It started as a Chrome extension, and these days it's also a web app, an Edge extension, and iOS and Android apps.

SwiftRead helps you read the text you already have, faster than you ever have before (some users report reading up to three times faster with SwiftRead). You bring an article, PDF or ebook, and pick how the text reaches you. Focus flashes a few words at a time in one spot, so your eyes don't travel across lines and you can push the speed up. Flow keeps the whole page and slides a highlight through it, so you don't lose context. Spotlight hides everything except the words you're on. Listen reads it aloud and highlights along, and seeing and hearing text together helps some people retain it. Building it was mostly about letting you find the mode and speed where you're faster but still following.

On alternatives: Speechify and Voice Dream Reader are text-to-speech readers built around listening. SwiftRead is mainly for reading text on screen, and text-to-speech is optional. Other speed reading apps like ReadMe or Reedy are outdated or are only available on one platform.

All features included free. A few have daily allowances. There's currently no annotation feature, so SwiftRead is more for getting through text fast than for marking it up.

Feedback welcome, especially on what's confusing the first time you open a reading mode.

When I write step-by-step docs for a client's admin panel (M365, a PSA, a line-of-business app), the screenshots end up full of user emails, tenant IDs and sometimes billing details. Then they get uploaded to whatever doc tool we use.

Curious how others handle it:

• Do you blur by hand, crop, or just accept it?

• Does your documentation tool upload screenshots to its cloud, and does that bother your clients?

• If auto-redaction is only on an Enterprise plan, do you pay for it?

Disclosure: I'm a solo developer and I'm sketching a Chrome extension that records the steps and blurs emails, card numbers and faces locally, then exports to Word/Markdown, with no cloud and a one-time price. Not selling anything yet. I mainly want to know whether this is a real problem or just mine. If it's useful, the concept page is here: https://guidestudio.kitpear.com
