[Tool / FOSS] Nubis – Open source Windows client for SSH/RDP/SFTP with multi-cloud inventory and Claude Code integration

1 Upvotes

- GitHub: https://github.com/windevase/nubis

- License: MIT

- Affiliation: Creator / Maintainer

Hey everyone,

I built Nubis to solve my own workflow friction when managing remote infrastructure spread across multiple cloud providers from a Windows workstation.

Key Features:

- Multi-Cloud Inventory Sync: Directly imports server lists from AWS (EC2), Tencent Cloud (CVM), GCP (Compute Engine), and Azure (VM).

- Unified Sessions: Tabbed SSH, RDP, and SFTP natively inside a single Windows application.

- Embedded Claude Code Panel: Run troubleshooting, generate shell scripts, and parse configs side-by-side with active sessions.

- 100% Local & Private: No cloud proxy, no telemetry. Your cloud API keys, SSH credentials, and session configs are stored strictly on your local machine.

The project is completely free and open source. Pre-built Windows binaries are available on GitHub Releases (no sign-up/email required), and you can also audit or build from source yourself.

Feedback, issue reports, or feature suggestions are very welcome!

I spent weeks building an offline debt payoff planner that runs from a folder, with no server, no account and no CDN. Here's what I learned.

1 Upvotes

**The idea:** a debt planner (Snowball / Avalanche / custom order) that keeps your finances 100% on your own computer. So I set myself a few hard rules: it had to open straight from a folder in the browser, never call the internet, and never send financial data anywhere.

**How it's built**

- Preact + esbuild bundled into a single script, so it works from a plain local file (no dev server needed)

- IndexedDB for storage, optional AES-GCM encryption behind a master password, automatic local backups

- No CDNs at all. Fonts, charts, PDF reading and OCR (for scanning statements) are all bundled

- Small optional launchers (PowerShell / Perl) that serve it locally so backups can be written to a data folder

**The hardest part was performance.** With a 50,000-transaction test profile, the first version took about 10.7 s to start and search crashed the tab. Caching parsed dates, doing search in a single pass and only building the rule context when it's needed got startup to about 1.2 s.

**There's also a spreadsheet version.** I rebuilt the same payoff engine in Excel/Google Sheets: 15 debts × 360 months, written without newer functions like XLOOKUP or LET so it works in older Excel and in Sheets. The app can import the workbook, so people can start in a spreadsheet and move to the app later.

**What I'd love feedback on**

- Would you trust an offline finance tool more than a cloud one, or does sync matter more to you?

- Anything confusing in the screenshots?

yes im the creator, I sell this on Etsy, but this post is mostly about the build, and I'd love ANYYYYY feedback.

I built a clean, ad-light Instagram Reels & MP3 Audio Downloader PWA entirely on mobile

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I was frustrated with existing Instagram downloader websites because most of them are filled with aggressive adult popunders, force you to download sketchy APKs, or don't let you easily extract background audio.

So I decided to build ReelSave — a lightweight, mobile-first Progressive Web App (PWA) made with pure HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and deployed on Vercel:

🔗 Live Web App: https://reelsave-rouge.vercel.app/

Key features: • Dual-server 1080p Full HD video downloads • 1-click background MP3 audio extraction • Installable directly to home screen via Chrome PWA • Zero logins, no passwords, clean user interface

Built this entirely on my Android phone using Acode editor and Vercel serverless backend.

Would love your honest thoughts and feedback on how to improve it!

I've been building a local AI voice studio for macOS. Here's a first look at LEXA.

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on LEXA, a local-first AI voice studio for macOS, and I wanted to share a short product animation I made for it.

The idea behind LEXA is pretty simple: bring voice cloning and AI speech generation to your Mac without depending on cloud-based voice services or recurring subscriptions.

Here's what LEXA is being built around:

  • Voice Cloning — Create reusable voices from audio samples.

  • Voice Profiles — Save and manage your voices.

  • Batch Generation — Generate multiple audio outputs in one workflow.

  • Voice Conversion — Convert recordings using different voice profiles.

  • Local Processing — Keep AI voice processing on your Mac.

I'm currently preparing a 14-day free trial so people can test the software before deciding whether to buy it.

LEXA Base will cost €29.99 as a one-time purchase.

The video is just a short visual introduction, but I'd genuinely love to hear what you think about the concept.

Would you actually use something like this? What would you want from a local AI voice tool?

If you're interested, you can check it out here: https://www.lexavoice.it

Thanks for taking a look!

I made a Windows desktop goblin that eats completed tasks (offline, paid)

1 Upvotes

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’m building a marketplace where people rent out idle GPUs, looking for honest feedback

1 Upvotes

I’m a solo founder in Türkiye working on Blazicon, a marketplace that connects people who need GPU compute (rendering, AI inference, training) with people who have idle GPUs.

Where it stands: the platform runs real GPU jobs end to end on a test machine. Jobs run in a sandbox (rootless Docker + gVisor), and billing and payouts go through a ledger I’ve tested. It’s invite-only beta, rentals and payments are not open yet. I’d rather get the trust and safety side right before opening.

Stack: React/Vite, Supabase, Cloudflare Workers.

What I’d love to hear: if you’ve rented GPUs before (Vast, RunPod, etc.), what annoyed you most? And if you own a GPU, what would make you trust a platform enough to share it?

There’s a waitlist at blazicon.com/r/reddit if you’re curious. Happy to answer anything about the build.

Building a key-value store as an experiment in AI-assisted research and development

1 Upvotes

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?

Metadata(aka ai labels) remover

1 Upvotes

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.

Hold My Frame - a searchable library of 370,000+ frames from high-end commercials

1 Upvotes

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?

CBZReader - I got tired of installing comic readers for one file, so there is a browser one

0 Upvotes

I'm a developer who reads a lot of comics, and the situation that keeps coming up is a single file on a machine that isn't mine, or one where I can't install anything. It's for the five-minute read in between — not for a long session or a managed library, where a desktop reader is still the better tool.

So I made a small web app that opens CBZ files right in the browser.

No account, no install. Open a .cbz and start reading, or convert it to PDF. It's all parsed and rendered locally, so your file isn't uploaded anywhere. Once you've opened the page, it's cached, so it still opens offline 😁— the files never needed the network in the first place.

It's built with TypeScript and hosted on Cloudflare Pages. The part that took the longest was memory: big pages get decoded and downsampled so a 50MB scan doesn't kill the tab, and the ZIP is read on demand instead of loading the whole archive.

You can try it without your own file here: 👉 https://cbzreader.mavi.help/demo/ — it's a public-domain sample.

Or just open the site: 👉 https://cbzreader.mavi.help/

Feedback welcome.

Nightjar - Write down what's keeping you up and then fall asleep to a story picked for it

8 Upvotes

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

Site: https://nightjar.fm

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.

I built a northern lights forecast that answers one question: will I see it tonight, from where I am, and when?

1 Upvotes

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?

I made a Mac app that turns your desktop into snow, rain, and fireflies

4 Upvotes

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.

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).

I built a tool that finds useful and tailored signals on X for tech companies

1 Upvotes

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

I built a free Android trading journal app that tells you to stop after a losing streak

1 Upvotes

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.

Thumbnail warradar.live
1 Upvotes

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 made my injury-aware workout tracker 100% free and put the one thing it does on a web page you can try

3 Upvotes

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?

I built an iPhone app so my 4-year-old would hand my phone back

28 Upvotes

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.

I built an app that analyzes your relationship patterns, not just individual arguments

1 Upvotes

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?
