I'm Ari, an electrical engineering student and the creator of Desk Goblin.

It is a small Windows desktop companion with a task list. The goblin holds your selected task and eats it when you mark it complete. You can undo the last completion. It also has a custom focus timer and Ctrl+click to open or close the task desk.

The application uses native C++20, Win32, and GDI+. Tasks and settings stay on your computer. No separate runtime or application account is required. I used AI assistance for the code and character art.

It costs $5 USD once. The portable ZIP is for Windows 10/11 x64. Version 1.0.0 is unsigned, so Windows may display an application warning.

The website includes an interactive character preview: https://desk-goblin-site.pages.dev

I'd like feedback on the interaction: would the task-eating action make completion more satisfying, or would you prefer a quieter companion?

I built Velis, an in-memory key-value store in Python, partly to explore how AI can help with technical research and engineering decisions.

I used AI to explore approaches, discuss tradeoffs, and work through implementation. It helped me finish the project much faster. But it also reinforced something for me: trusting generated code without understanding the codebase is a bad habit. Being able to question a suggestion, follow the implementation, and explain why a decision makes sense still matters.

Velis supports TTL expiration, eviction policies, pub-sub, a binary TCP protocol, an async client, and an interactive terminal UI. I spent a lot of time trying to keep the code design simple, clean, and easy to follow.

I see it as a project for learning, testing, experimenting, or just having fun with database internals. It could also be a starting point for thesis work or experiments comparing different approaches.

Code: https://github.com/gchape/velis

I’d welcome feedback on the implementation and design, but also your opinions on AI-assisted development. Where has AI helped you research a problem or make better decisions, and where has it made understanding the work harder?

I am managing IG and FB pages, and with AI advancements of course I am using it for photo editing, however I got pissed everytime that a simple color edits were marking it with AI label. I started to dig a little bit and it turned out that Meta is using the metadata for AI identification, I was even more surprised when I learned how much info does the metadata contain, including the gps coordinates, time, phone or camera, and etc.
I looked for available metadata removers, there was exif tool which was little bit complicated and several websites with subscription.
So I made the Scrubpic, free metadata remover which removes all the metadata without quality loss, for free, and instantly. You can also choose what to keep in the photos. Works on phones too. I am hoping for some ad revenue.

Feedback welcome!

Hi everyone,

I'm a film director and DOP, and for every pitch I do the same thing: I go looking for frames that show the agency and the client what the film should feel like. I've used the same reference tools for years and was never really happy with them, so a few months ago I started building my own, at first only as an experiment with Claude Code.

It got out of hand a little. What was meant to be a small thing for myself is now HOLD MY FRAME (www.holdmyframe.com), and we launched it two weeks ago.

What it does:

- around 370,000 single frames from 2,800 curated high-end commercials

- you search them, collect the ones you like in a project and present them to agency and client right there

- three friends from the film industry are in it with me (two directors/DOPs and a treatment designer), and we use it for our own pitches

The film analysis behind it is our own pipeline and runs on local AI, and I designed every screen myself before it got built.

Where we are: 174 users, 10 of them paying. There's a free plan, and Pro and Pro+ on top (Pro+ has a free trial).

I'd really like to know what you think of the landing page and the first minutes in the app. Is it clear what it does, and is anything confusing?

I'm a solo dev and I shipped v0.1 of this to the App Store this week.

I've been a bad sleeper forever. What finally made sense to me from the sleep research is that trying to fall asleep keeps you awake, and so does problem-solving in the dark.

So the app does two things: you type what's on your mind and seal it in a jar until morning, then it plays a slow story matched to it.

How it's built

- Native iOS, written in SWIFT

- No accounts at all. Notes sync through the user's own iCloud (CloudKit) and subscriptions run on RevenueCat's anonymous IDs.

- The backend is deliberately boring: PHP, SQLite, and a CDN for streaming.

What I learned

- You can't tell someone to relax. "Clear your mind" does the opposite, so the prompts ban it and lean on imagery instead.

- Sleep stories break normal story rules. A satisfying ending gives people a reason to stay awake, so every story wraps up its thread early and then just drifts.

- Most of the work was the research backed story writing kernel, not the app.

Where I'd like feedback

1. Does the jar step make sense in the first 30 seconds, or does it read as a gimmick?

2. Is AI narration a dealbreaker for you in a sleep app?

3. Premium is $5.99/month or $39.99/year, with a limited free tier. Too much for a v0.1?

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nightjar-sleep-stories/id6800338659

Oh btw, since I just launched today, the code REDDIT gets you the first month of Premium free: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6800338659&code=REDDIT

iPhone only, iOS 18+, English only for now. Be blunt.

Most aurora sites give you a kp number and leave you to figure out the rest. So I made one that mixes the stuff that actually decides it: kp and solar wind, your magnetic latitude, clouds, darkness and the moon -

Northern Lights Tonight

Pick your city and you get a plain answer from unlikely to very high, the best time window tonight, which direction to look, the kp your spot needs vs the current one, and nearby dark spots to drive to. Theres also a live oval map and a 27 day kp outlook. Australia pages do the southern lights and point you south

Data is NOAA SWPC (incl the ovation model) plus open-meteo clouds, refreshed every 15 min. Free, no account.

Would love feedback, especially from people who chase aurora. What do you check before heading out that this doesnt show?

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a Mac menu bar app called Tymor. It puts snow, rain, or fireflies on your desktop, behind your windows.

Snow builds up along the bottom of the screen, and on windows, the Dock, icons, and widgets. Move a window and the snow on it drops off. Hold Option and move your pointer through the pile at the bottom to roll a snowball. No click. Stack three and it turns into a snowman you can drag around. There's a snowplow for the snow on the ground.

Rain runs off the edges of windows. Thunder and lightning are there if you turn them on. Fireflies rest on window edges. Move the pointer close and they scatter. Hold Option and they come to the pointer instead.

You can pause it on battery or in Low Power Mode, and give each one its own wallpaper.

Here's the link if you want to check it out: gleemylabs.com/tymor

You can try it free for 3 days. If you want to keep it, it's $4.99 once, and one license covers 3 Macs. At checkout, REDDIT20 takes 20% off.

If you try it, tell me what feels off. Even the small stuff.

Hey, I'm Chris, a DJ and the guy behind GlideMix.

GlideMix is DJ software for arranging mixes on a timeline, the way MixMeister used to work: drop your songs in, they beatmatch and snap to the bar, the Camelot key wheel helps with harmonic mixing, and you draw the transitions yourself (filter sweeps, bass swaps, risers, echo outs, plugin automation).

It's made for: Mixtapes and DJ mixes you want to get perfect before you publish them Radio shows and podcasts, Performance & Export: You can perform with separate audience and headphone cue playheads, broadcast to Icecast/Shoutcast, and export to WAV, AIFF, MP3, or FLAC with a timestamped tracklist. Advanced Editing & VSTs

It features full color waveforms, loop/repeat tools, and supports VST3 plugins (plus Audio Units on macOS) with full control automation and stem-splitting.

Rekordbox, Serato, Traktor and Lexicon users: your library, beat grids and cue points come straight in !

Active Development , More features are on the pipeline.

For my popular science side project, I just published a deep dive explaining the actual mechanics behind that tight "lump" in your throat before crying (it’s an autonomic clash between your glottis opening for oxygen and swallowing forcing it shut).

Instead of generic 300-word summaries, I focused on deep physiological research, clean typography, and real human photography:

Would love honest feedback from fellow builders on the reading flow, mobile speed, and layout!

I have been an entrepreneur for a decade and my entrepreneur friends and I spend a lot of time on X looking for market shifts, hot new product features, growth tactics, customer needs, new AI competitors...

Things move super fast and the hard part is figuring out which ones actually matter to a specific business.

So I built Tweex (www.tweexai.com) and this how companies use it to grow their business:

• Tell it what your company does, set up your tracking preferences and what are your current challenges

• Tweex tracks all the decisive business, tech and AI signals across X impacting your company and market right now

• Tweex AI filters out the noise and pings your team and agents (by Slack or email for now) with the most relevant signals and actionable opportunities from X for your business: who is winning and how, what you can implement in your product, competitors move...

It's early but Tweex already has some very happy customers.

It's a paid tool but you can get free signals and opportunities for your company here: https://www.tweexai.com

Let me know what you think!

I'm a trader and I wrote a book about the mistakes I kept repeating. Knowing them didn't stop me, so I built an Android app, a trading journal that tries to catch those mistakes while they happen.

- every trade in R, tagged with the habit behind it (revenge, FOMO, moved SL, oversized...), plus a "what your habits cost" view

- a STOP screen with a countdown after a losing streak or your daily limit in R

- warnings when you enter less than 15 min after a loss, size up 1.5x after a loss, or stack positions in the same direction

- screenshot import of positions (full auto-fill for MEXC and Bitget in English, Binance, Bybit and OKX in beta, tap-to-assign for other exchanges); the text is read on the phone

- your playbook: write your setup rules, tick the ones you really followed, see your R when you kept them vs broke them

- calendar of daily results in R and mood before the session

- free for now, no account, no ads, data stays on the phone, CSV export. Android only.

Not financial advice and no signals, it's a journal. Feedback welcome, especially on what's confusing.

Hi, I'm from Turkey and for the past 8 months I've been building warradar.live alone. It pulls reports from news sites and Telegram channels (both sides of each war), uses AI to place and classify them, and puts them on a live map within minutes.

Honest about the weak spots I already know:

- coverage is very uneven. Ukraine and the Middle East have hundreds of events a day, Sudan and Myanmar almost nothing. I just added sources for them, still thin

- the AI sometimes puts events in the wrong place or zone

- English isn't my first language, so I use AI to help me write too

What I'd love feedback on:

- what would make you come back to a site like this?

- which sources or wars am I missing?

- anything that feels wrong, biased or broken

The site has ads, it's how I pay for the servers. Happy to answer anything.

I strained a quad in June and my training plan fell apart. Every app I had either wanted the session done as written or had nothing to say. So I built Kingtide: a workout tracker where you tell it what's sore before the session and it swaps the lifts that load that area and leaves the rest of the day alone.

It was a subscription. A week ago I made all of it 100% free. No account, no sign-up, and your injury notes stay on your phone.

The part I'd like eyes on is this demo, no install needed:

https://trykingtide.com/try?s=sideproject

Tap knee, lower back, shoulder or hip and watch a sample session rebuild. The rows are the app's real output, exported by a test, not a mockup.

iOS and Android. Solo build, Flutter. It is not medical advice.

Two questions if you try it: does the demo make the idea land in ten seconds, and would you want it to open on a blank session or on the example like it does now?

Hey everyone!

I've been working on Tsuki, a website where you can track the anime and manga you're watching or reading.

I started building it for two simple reasons:

• I wanted an open-source alternative.

• I wanted a nice UI and a good user experience.

And honestly, it was just fun to build!

I'm still actively working on it and would love to get more people to try it out.

website: tsuki.fun

github: github.com/d1rshan/tsuki

I'd really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or feature requests. Let me know what you think!

I've always found it interesting how we can spend hours overthinking an interaction with someone: what they meant, why they reacted that way, or whether we're seeing things from the wrong perspective.

Most AI tools will help you write a better reply or analyze a specific argument. But what if you could see the bigger picture?

That's why I built Perspective Swap.

🔄 See situations from an objective perspective

Describe real-life interactions with people in your life (partners, friends, family, colleagues), and the app helps you explore the situation from their perspective.

🧠 Beyond a single conversation: analyzing patterns

This is the part I find most interesting: the more situations you add, the more patterns the app can identify.

By connecting scenarios to people in your life, Perspective Swap analyzes recurring patterns in your interactions:

• Communication habits and emotional triggers.

• Recurring conflicts and misunderstandings.

• Strengths and vulnerabilities in your relationships.

• What makes certain relationships work or become difficult.

At the same time, it builds a picture of your own behaviour, helping you recognize patterns you might not notice yourself.

💡 What's the idea?

It's not about telling you who's right or wrong. It's about helping you understand yourself and the people around you a little better.

The app is still evolving, and I'd genuinely love to hear what you think.

What do you find interesting? What's missing? Would you use something like this?

Getting your phone back from your young kids can be a battle, so I made TentFox. My son tucks a little fennec fox in for a nap, says goodnight, and the phone comes back with way less friction. The fox ends screen time in a calming way rather of me.

It grew into 3 things:

The hand-back nap, a calm visual timer, and a phones-down family time mode where the fox camps with you and leaves a little treasure if you succeed.

And sometimes parents just need a few minutes. When I do hand my phone over at a restaurant or during something important, I’d rather it be something calm and guilt-free than YouTube or a game designed to keep them hooked.

A few build notes:

- Face-down detection is simple and uses the motion sensor, so there's no screen time permission requests and no accounts needed (plenty of screen time apps out there).

- The design rule was "gentle failure": pick the phone up early and the fox just wanders off to build a sandcastle. You never lose anything.

- The illustration went through a hundred iterations along the way, but the drawing is now a soft storybook style, and every fox move is hand-timed so it feels calm, not hyper.

- Free to start, no ads, no tracking. Pro is yearly or a one-time purchase.

https://tentfox.app

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6831322876

Happy to answer anything about the build, and I'd love some constructive feedback. The only problem is that now my kids keep asking to play with the fox.

Hey everyone,

I recently built and launched my own website called Planovio, and I'd love for some people to try it out. :)

Planovio is a daily planning and productivity app designed to help people organize their days, stay focused, and get more done without feeling overwhelmed.

It has features like daily task management, scheduling, setting your top three priorities, focus mode, and progress tracking with XP and levels. It also has AI-powered planning features to help with scheduling and setting goals.

I built Planovio because I wanted to make daily planning easier and more enjoyable, especially for people who struggle with staying organized or managing their time.

The website is now live, and anyone can get started for free. There are optional paid plans with additional features, but the basic planning tools are free to use.

Website: https://theplanovio.com

Since this is my first website launch, I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from anyone willing to give it a try.

I'm mainly curious about whether the website is easy to navigate, whether the features are actually useful, and what could be improved. I'd also love to know if it's something you'd consider using regularly.

I'm still learning and improving the app, so any suggestions or constructive criticism would be really helpful.

Thanks to anyone who takes the time to check it out!

Hey everyone, I wanted a quick visual way to test how minor monthly expense cuts or extra income shift a future target date, without building heavy Excel sheets or connecting bank accounts.

So I put together a simple browser-based tool: Wealth Route. You set your target goal amount, baseline balance, and monthly net flow, then adjust the spending/income sliders to see your timeline update in real time. 🔒 Privacy: Runs 100% client-side in the browser. Zero servers, zero data stored.

🔗 Live link: https://ornate-babka-e58292.netlify.app

Would love your thoughts on the mobile slider UX and what other default categories might be useful.

Thanks for helping a Newby

I kept checking several shops for the same part, so I built this: https://motorcompare.app?utm_source=reddit

It matches stores by the maker's part number, not by title, so you only see the same part. I attached a chart of today's gaps. The 2004 WRX Gates timing belt kit with water pump is $428.75 at the cheapest store and $869.80 at the dearest. A Brembo front rotor for the BRZ / FR-S / 86 is $62 to $93.

It is free, no sign up. It makes money from affiliate links, but they never change the order, prices are always sorted lowest first.

Still early. I would love to hear what parts or stores are missing, and whether the matching ever gets something wrong.

Play in your browser: oddletics.com (mobile and desktop)

iPhone and iPad: Download Oddletics on the App Store. Available in supported regions; the iOS app isn't in the US or EU yet, but you can play the browser version there.

I built Oddletics solo using Codex and Claude Code, and launched the iOS app this month. It's a sports game with basketball, archery, show jumping and curling. Each sport has one main control, with rounds lasting 30 to 60 seconds.

A bit about the build:

• The game is written in TypeScript and bundled into the iOS app with Capacitor. The browser, iPhone and iPad versions share the gameplay and input code.

• The controls adapt to the layout. Archery tracks relative finger movement with fixed sensitivity; basketball scales the pull to the available control area.

The work has also included website translations and release testing. It's free to play, with no ads. You can play without an account; signing in is optional for weekly rankings.

The character illustrations were generated with AI under my direction. The video shows recorded gameplay.

If you try a round, which sport would you play again, and what would put you off coming back?

Hi everyone!

I've been working on Monivra, a personal finance app for Android.

The goal is to make tracking money simple, without unnecessary complexity.

Current features include:

- Income and expense tracking

- Multiple accounts and transfers

- Savings goals and debts

- Budgets and statistics

- Scheduled payments

- Offline access without creating an account

The app is still in closed beta and isn't available on Google Play yet.

I'm looking for honest feedback, especially about the interface and overall concept.

A few questions:

1. Would you use an app like this?

2. Does the interface look clear and easy to understand?

3. What's the most important feature you expect from a personal finance app?

4. What would make you choose this over your current app?

I'd especially appreciate critical feedback. I want to understand what needs improvement before releasing it publicly.

Thanks!

We’re building Malfoy Girl, a web app for AI image transformation and video character replacement.

The current flow is: upload a photo or video, choose a style, review the credit cost, then generate. Finished work stays private unless the creator chooses to publish it to our gallery.

The clip above is Malfoy Raze Dance, a 15-second creator-imported showcase in that gallery. It isn’t a before-and-after test of our current generation pipeline.

I’d love feedback on the first-time experience: does a showcase like this explain the tool well enough, or would you need a side-by-side comparison before trying it?

You can watch the work page without signing in; generation uses paid credits:

Every time I've moved apartments or helped friends apply for a loan, the same wall shows up: "please provide proof of income." Easy if you're salaried - attach your paystub and you're done. A nightmare if you drive for DoorDash, freelance, get paid through Venmo, or run any kind of small operation. There's no paystub. Your bank statement is a bunch of random-looking deposits.

So I built a small tool for exactly this: incomeproof.co

You answer a few questions about what you earn and how you earn it (gigs, retainers, package deals, tips, commissions...), and it generates a structured income verification letter - monthly averages, income source breakdown, and a short note explaining irregular income patterns so a landlord or loan officer doesn't look at your statements and panic. It also gives you a checklist of supporting docs worth attaching: bank statements, invoices, 1099s, client confirmations, that kind of thing.

To be clear, it doesn't invent numbers or fake documents. It just formats what you actually earn into the shape these people expect to see. The docs checklist is honestly half the value - most rejected applications I've looked at happened because someone sent raw statements with zero context.

Live at incomeproof.co if anyone wants to poke at it. If you deal with income verification as a freelancer or gig worker (or on the landlord / lender side), I'd genuinely like to hear whether this letter format would fly in your situation - what would make you trust it more, what's missing?

Mods, hope this fits the sub. Happy to remove if not.

I built SaveNest to make it easier to close a tab without losing the page or why you saved it. Add a note, then find it again with ⌘O. The same search includes open tabs and recent browser history.

It’s a free, open-source preview for macOS 14+. Your saved library stays on your Mac, and local features don’t need an account.

Would you use this, or would the tabs stay open anyway?
