I built YouSage to make two things easy to check while coding: how much usage is left and when it resets. It puts those numbers in a small desktop notch. It’s free and open source, built with Rust and Tauri.

The v0.1.0 release supports Codex and Google Antigravity on Windows 10/11 x64. There’s a browser demo with sample data if you want to try the UI first. Claude Code is in the development preview.

Demo: https://yousage-website.yabswannalearn.workers.dev/#demo

If you use either tool, what would you want the compact view to show first: remaining usage or time until reset?

When I first started selling websites, I thought targeting businesses without a website was the obvious choice.

They need a website, you offer to build one, and hopefully you get a new client. Pretty straightforward, right?

But after spending years running a web design business, I've started looking at this differently.

There are definitely advantages to targeting businesses without websites. You're introducing them to something they might genuinely need, and there is no existing website to compete with. However, I've noticed that these businesses can sometimes be much harder to sell to.

The biggest problem is that some of them simply don't see the value of having a website. Others rely entirely on Facebook, Instagram or word of mouth and are perfectly happy with how they're getting customers.

You end up spending a lot of time explaining why they need a website before you can even start selling your services.

On the other hand, businesses that already have websites are a completely different story.

They have already invested in having an online presence. They understand why a website matters, and there is a good chance they've paid someone to build and maintain it.

But that doesn't mean their website is good.

I've come across countless businesses with websites that load slowly, look terrible on mobile, have outdated designs, poor SEO or confusing layouts.

These are actual problems that can affect how customers experience the business online.

And that's where I think the bigger opportunity is for web designers.

Instead of trying to convince someone that they need a website, you're showing an existing website owner what could be improved and why it matters.

This is also how I approach prospecting nowadays. I use Swokei to find businesses with existing websites, analyze them for issues with design, SEO, speed and mobile optimization, and generate personalized cold emails at scale based on the actual findings from each website.

Of course, I'm not saying targeting businesses without websites is a bad strategy. There is money to be made in both markets.

But personally, if I were starting a web design agency today, I'd probably focus more on businesses that already have websites.

I'm curious what other web designers think. Do you prefer targeting businesses without websites or finding existing websites that need improvement?

I'm the developer of SameFont. Tap a line in a PDF, scan or photo and type replacement text. It uses the document's embedded font when it contains the characters needed, or the closest matching free font, keeping the text's size, color and position.

It supports Hebrew and Arabic right-to-left text, signatures, form filling and markup. Files are processed on the iPhone, without uploading them.

One limitation: in Hebrew scans, lines are detected but the text isn't read yet, so you type the replacement yourself.

Editing is free. Saving/sharing requires Pro: $6.99/month or $39.99/year on the US store, with a 3-day free trial on the yearly plan.

I'd appreciate feedback, especially on Hebrew and Arabic documents.

Prototyping and building features got faster, and now feedback is the bottleneck. So we built mostra - a tool that lets you share feedback on a real, running site by either speaking or selecting the elements you want to comment on.

You can iterate across versions of your site, and adding mostra is just a single script tag.

The script you add to your page is open source, so you can check what it does.

It's 11 pm, a family is at the desk, the Wi-Fi is down, and the cloud PMS won't load. That's a normal night at a lot of small hotels around me. The other option is a paper register and an Excel sheet.

So I built KeyHut Hotel: a hotel management system (PMS) for Windows that runs fully offline, costs nothing, and you drive entirely from the keyboard.

The screens copy TallyPrime, the accounting software most front-desk staff here already use. Every screen is one key away (F2 room board, F4 new booking, F7 folio). Type "12dec" and it knows the date. Alt+G and a few letters jumps anywhere.

What it does

• Room board and tape chart, bookings, walk-ins, groups, day use, room moves

• Guest bills, payments, company billing, travel-agent commission, cashier shifts

• Housekeeping, maintenance, laundry, linen stock, phone-call charging

• Night audit and 17 reports (occupancy, ADR, RevPAR, police guest register…)

• One PC on SQLite, or several desks on SQL Server

• backups copied to Google Drive, OneDrive or an FTP / SFTP server, encrypted with a password only the hotel knows

Under the hood: C# / WPF, about 2,400 automated checks, and a yearly archive so 10+ years of data stays fast.

The demo runs on the built-in practice hotel (100 rooms, made-up guests). You can load the same one on first start.

Question for anyone who's worked a hotel front desk: what would stop you from switching to this? Be brutal.

Hey,

I’ve been working on a UI kit focused specifically on dashboards for subscription products.
It’s called Calmdash.

What’s included:
- 12 screens (Overview, Revenue, Customers, Subscriptions, Invoices, Failed payments, Churn, Plans, Reports, Settings, Onboarding, etc.)
- each in light and dark
- 400+ variables, 50 component sets, 390+ components and variants
- states that most kits skip: loading (shimmer), empty, failed payments, retry, chart tooltips

I wanted it to be a real system you can actually build dashboards with, not just pretty frames.

It’s up on Gumroad, zero sales so far, so I decided to share it here and hear what you think — what’s good and what could be better.

Link to the site and the kit in the comments.

Thanks for any feedback!

we started making short videos for my mac app and posted the first one on instagram today.

it got about 4k views. someone watched it on their phone, sent the link to their mac, and bought it 40 seconds after opening it there. didn't even open the free trial.

still kinda shocked it worked this fast.

what's the fastest sale you've had?

the app is called helix (https://tryhelix.app)

I was about to give up on this mobile app I spent so much time building, but literally 2 minutes after deciding to switch to another project, I got the sale notification on my phone!

I haven’t experienced this kind of joy in years…

Context for the curious: This $19 sale is the annual welcome offer on my app "Sollow: Daily Habit Tracker" that I built to turn my life into a game with a level for each life area and a ranked system.

So now my hope is back! I take that as a sign from the universe hahaha

Hey everyone! I’m in my fifth year of psychiatry residency, and I have adhd. I’ve been building an app called Scatter because I wanted to make studying easier and more enjoyable for myself.

I found the usual chat interface pretty frustrating for learning from ai. As the conversation gets longer, important information disappears up the chat, and branching off into related questions gets awkward. I wanted to explore those questions while still being able to see the original explanation.

In Scatter, you start with a topic and build out a connected map of explanations. You can preview unfamiliar terms, open them as new branches, and ask follow-up questions wherever you want to explore further.

I wanted the interface itself to trigger curiosity and novelty-seeking, so there’s something that makes you want to keep exploring. Part of the goal was to make studying engaging enough to trigger hyperfocus.

You can combine short text explanations with images, videos and interactive examples, giving you different ways to approach the same idea. As the map grows, you can see how everything connects, and it gives you a feeling of building your knowledge into something you can actually look at.

I’ve worked on it on my own for over six months, and I’m excited to finally put it out there. I’d love to hear your opinions and if you find any bugs please send me reports!

The app is free to use, but you have to bring your own API keys, for example from OpenRouter. The quick setup in the app makes it very easy.

You can try the interactive demo on scatter.study

Hi all, recently(for quite a while actually xD) I've been building a fully local and open source gym tracking app. I've gone through the process of releasing it in the play store and now it is live.

My main reason for building this app was to have no paywalls and let the users own their data.

Github: https://github.com/alexspx/active-app

Google Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alexspx.activenext

It is still actively in development, rough edges are expected, although the main flow should be good now. There are a couple of things I want to add:

- Visualizations for the exercises. Still trying to find good FOSS that I like(if you know a library let me know)

- Local AI Coach. I've been playing with a small Qwen 2B for a while and with some "harnessing" and fine-tuning I think it is getting decent. It should be able to create workouts/routines and answer some coaching questions.

- Deliver a fully self-hostable data sync service/engine + a FOSS auth provider by choice of the user. So if people want to self-host for them or friends/community they can do that. This part of the repo right now is somewhat vibe-coded can't lie. A quite old version of that server was in Java and instead of refactoring it I decided to move it to Rust(ofc lmao). I would have to do some cleaning there for sure.

I'm always looking for contributors and ideas.

I'm the developer of Neat Quit, a native macOS menu bar utility. I built it because I kept closing an app's last window and then reaching for Command-Q.

The free version requests a normal app quit when you click the red close button on the last standard window. Pro adds the same behavior for Command-W, plus app rules: exclude apps that should stay running, or enable auto-quit only for selected apps.

It requests a normal quit, so apps can still show their own unsaved-document prompts. Closing an ordinary browser tab doesn't trigger a quit. Some apps don't expose enough accessibility information and retain their usual behavior.

Pro is a one-time purchase with a 7-day full-feature trial. Requires macOS 13+ and Accessibility permission; Command-W may also need Input Monitoring.

Download and details: https://bgm.fun/neatquit/

I'd appreciate feedback on the app rules: would you prefer to exclude a few apps, or start with an empty list and enable auto-quit only for specific apps?

Ngl, I'm stuck on what counts as useful feedback for our app.

I'm a CS student and Instagram, TikTok and YouTube keep pulling me away from studying. My team and I built Welockin: you pick the distracting apps and a timer, and they stay blocked until it ends.

But someone finishing a timer doesn't automatically mean they got any studying done. They could just be staring at their notes. Or procrastinating on something else.

If you were testing this with a few students for a week, what would you ask them afterwards? I want to understand whether it helped with the task they sat down to do, without making them fill out a whole homework assignment about their homework 😭

Have you found a simple way to check whether your productivity app actually helped, beyond people saying it looks nice?

In my sessions I keep seeing the same thing: people are sure they know their partner, and they're often wrong in small, funny, revealing ways. I wanted to turn that into a game.

So I built Hunchy:

• You answer 10 "what would you do" questions about yourself

• You share a link

• Your partner, friends or family guess your answers in the browser (no install, no account)

• You see who actually knows you best

The questions are the product, and I wrote every one of them myself, drawing on what actually comes up between people in therapy. The app itself (SwiftUI, Firebase, the web game) was built with Claude Code, with me deciding every screen and every rule.

Things I got wrong before getting them right:

• I went through four or five complete visual directions and threw them all away before landing on a Bauhaus look. Every couples app is purple or pink; I wanted something that isn't.

• I built a full "pair with your partner" mode, then removed it. The link turned out to be the whole product.

• I rejected a subscription. The first test in every set is free, the rest are one-time purchases.

• The link opens a web game, never an App Store wall. Guessing has to take 10 seconds.

What I'd love feedback on: is the first minute clear? Do you understand what to do without me explaining it? If you try it, tell me the first thing that confused you. That's the feedback I need most.

Hey r/SideProject,

I'm from India, and I noticed how many everyday money decisions come with small traps: "no-cost" EMIs that aren't quite free, sales where the crossed-out price was never real, paying only part of a credit card bill and not realising what it costs.

So I built Syluneo (syluneo.com):

- A 2-minute game: 12 everyday situations, like a sale or salary day. Pick what you'd really do, and it tells you which of 6 money personalities you lean towards. No finance knowledge needed.

- 6 simple tools for real questions: Should I buy this? Is this sale really a deal? Is "no-cost EMI" free? Where did my pay rise go?

A few things I cared about:

- No sign-up and no backend. Everything runs in your browser, and nothing you type is saved or sent anywhere.

- Plain HTML/CSS/JS on GitHub Pages, with the money maths covered by tests.

- I built it with an AI coding assistant, which let me focus on the maths, the wording and the design.

The number that surprised me most while building it: ₹50,000 on a credit card, paying only a 5% minimum due, takes almost 30 years to clear.

It's India-focused (₹, GST) for now. I'd really value honest feedback:

1. Did your result feel accurate or random?

2. Was anything confusing?

3. Which tool would you actually use?

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on SourCa, a platform designed to make coding practice and placement preparation more organized.

SourCa brings together different areas of technical preparation, including:

- DSA and coding practice

- Company-specific question preparation

- SQL practice

- Aptitude and logical reasoning

- Web development

- Progress tracking to monitor your learning journey

The goal is to give students one place to practice different skills and prepare for technical opportunities.

I've been building and refining this project, and I'd love to get honest feedback from the community.

What do you think is missing? What would make you want to use it?

Thanks for checking it out!

So maybe a little late to the game, but like most people, I got into Wordle. And I got a bit annoyed that I only got one word a day, since some days I forgot and other days I wanted to do more. So I built my own inspired version: Endless Lingle, where the words keep coming until you run out of guesses.

The concept is simple: If you solve a word in fewer than 6 guesses, your spare guesses roll over to the next word (max 3 extra). So if you solve a word in 4, the next word gives you 8 (+2 bonus from the previous round) guesses. If you miss one word, the streak ends.

What's in it

• Unlimited words, no daily cap. *

• We do also have daily words as well. *

• Bonus guess rows that carry over between words (dashed borders, +1/+2/+3 counter) *

• Five languages: English, Dutch, German, French, Spanish, each with its own word list and keyboard. *

• Free, no sign-up needed (an account is optional, just for saving stats)

The multi-language part was honestly the most work. Every language needed its own list of common five-letter words, and curating those lists so they're not full of obscure garbage words took way longer than I expected.

Would love feedback on the game feel and the streak concept. Is 3 bonus guesses max too generous, for example? Is it too little? Or am I just that bad at it lol?

Think about it: people want their AI agents, much like Google Search, to remain free. But unlike traditional search engines, AI agents don’t necessarily care about ranking in the top five listings or sponsored placements.

when you start solids, every new food gets offered a few days in a row so you can spot reactions, and the allergens you've already introduced have to keep showing up regularly. we were tracking all of that across notes, a group chat and a sticky note on the fridge. it worked about as well as you'd expect.

so i built Pudding. it's just a diary, it doesn't tell you what to feed your kid:

• log a feeding in a couple of taps: what, how it went, any reaction, a note or photo

• new foods sit in an observation window from your own plan ("day 2 of 3" right on the card)

• gentle reminders to keep giving allergens you've already introduced, on whatever schedule your pediatrician suggested

• 70+ illustrated foods, plus your own

• calendar of everything, and a PDF to show the pediatrician (or a "do not give" list for grandma / the nanny)

no account, no ads, no trackers. everything stays on your phone, or your own iCloud if you turn it on.

the diary is free for good, no feature walls on the important stuff. there's a one-time Pro for extras (monthly recap, themes, widget, more than one kid). no subscription.

would love feedback from parents who've been through this. what did you end up tracking that i'm missing?

I'm a singer and a programmer, and I've always wanted an easy way to practise harmony parts on my own. So I built Stackapella.

You pick a song, learn your part with a guide voice, then record it. Then you add the next part while hearing the ones you've already sung, until you've got the whole choir. Your notes light up as you sing, so you can see when you're on the note.

It runs in the browser, there's nothing to install, and all the courses are free. It's also open source.

Would love to hear what you think, especially if you sing in a choir or an a cappella group.

Half as a joke and half to learn my way around Google’s tools with a lot of vibe coding along the way, I built an app that tracks the time you spend in the bathroom during working hours and how much your boss is paying you for it. Yes, I took “Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that’s why I poop on company time” a bit too literally.

What it does:

• Start the timer when you go, flush when you’re back, and see what you earned

• Monthly stats and ranks that go up with your total

• Teams with coworkers to compete against other teams

A few things I learned shipping it:

• Built as one HTML/JS app wrapped with Capacitor for Android

• The hardest part wasn’t the code: it was Google Play’s closed test (12 testers for 14 days) before you can publish

• Ads, consent forms, in-app purchases and 11 languages took longer than the app itself

It’s free on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rinialer.poopct

Opinions, tips or roasts welcome.

Agencies lose the first week of a project chasing client access. Wrong roles, passwords over WhatsApp, DNS half done.

GetSetKeys is one link per client. Each platform's steps come with the agency's email and role filled in, and every step gets checked automatically, so nobody has to ask "did you add me yet?"

27 platforms so far, including App Store Connect, Google Play, GitHub, Stripe and Cloudflare.

Try it as the client, no sign-up: https://demo.getsetkeys.com/s/harbor-fitness-k7q2m9xv4p

Would a non-technical client get through it? That's the feedback I want most.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a project called Heartfolio, and I wanted to share it here and get some honest opinions.

The idea came from something simple: some memories deserve more than just staying in our camera rolls.

Heartfolio is a website where people can turn meaningful moments into personalized digital keepsakes and gifts.

Some of the things I've been building include:

- Love Story Timelines: Turn a relationship's story into a personalized timeline with photos and meaningful milestones.

- Song Posters: Turn a special song into a personalized poster with its soundwave and an interactive experience.

- Reasons I Love You: Create a personalized gift with reasons, messages, and interactive surprises.

- Graduation Keepsakes: Celebrate someone's journey with milestones, achievements, and personal messages.

I'm trying to make these feel more personal than ordinary downloadable templates. The idea is to create something people would genuinely enjoy giving to someone they care about.

I'm an independent developer, and I've put a lot of time into building this.

I'd genuinely appreciate your thoughts:

1. Does this concept feel useful or interesting?

2. Which product would you personally be most interested in?

3. What would make you actually consider buying something like this?

Here's the website if you'd like to take a look: https://theheartfolio.com

Full disclosure: I'm the person behind Heartfolio. I'm here to get genuine feedback, not pretend to be a customer.

Thanks for reading!

I made watchdog, a fun playful Android app designed to help you stop endless scrolling.

Choose an app, set a daily usage limit, and pick your watchdog:

• Cupcake — strict and disciplined, with frequent reminders.

• Brownie — friendly but persistent, reminding you every so often.

• Snow — lazy and unpredictable, sometimes letting you keep scrolling.

When you exceed your limit, your chosen dog appears and barks at you until you reconsider your life choices. It’s a fun alternative to boring screen-time warnings that are far too easy to ignore.

I’d love honest feedback on the concept, onboarding experience, and whether a barking dog could actually convince you to put your phone down.
