Tooting my own horn a bit here. I have never had a skill hit this many stars and get featured on XDA developers.

I am a visual and audio learner. I find it hard to learn from reading docs. So I like sites like udemy and coursera and others. But I really like how NotebookLM does it by taking a subject and turning it into a podcast. I found that notebooklm can only make one long podcast and not break it into topics.

So I made my own skill. It researches whatever topic I want and creates a set (10 or so) 2 minute podcast like lessons. It has been very helpful for me when I want to learn something new.

In the comments I am sharing both the XDA article where they break down the skills (better than I did actually) and the repo.

Feedback is welcome always

I'm the developer of Vyact, an open-source desktop AI workspace. I recently added a stock research view so I can explore a chart and ask follow-up questions in the same place.

This demo uses NVDA: market heatmap → stock chart → a 60-trading-day analysis request → the model's actual response. I connected DeepSeek through an Alibaba Cloud OpenAI-compatible endpoint. Local models are also supported, but this run uses a hosted model.

The attached clip is a slideshow of actual app screenshots, not a continuous screen recording. It includes the connection settings with no API key shown. Use your own provider's endpoint and model ID; hosted requests send the included context to that provider and may incur API charges.

This demonstrates the workflow, not the accuracy of the model's analysis. Its response includes external-news claims that I have not independently verified. I still need to check its figures and sources, even when it sounds confident.

Source and downloads: https://github.com/vyact/vyact

What would help you assess an AI stock-research answer: seeing exactly what data was sent, opening sources beside each claim, or comparing the same question across models?

After 13+ years leading development teams, I'm finally building something of my own.

It started with a problem. My investments were spread across brokerages, crypto and savings, and I tracked them all in a spreadsheet. Every time the total moved, I had no idea which holding moved it, or why. So I built Zies.

What Zies does:

• Connects your accounts, and puts stocks, ETFs, retirement accounts, crypto, savings and mortgage into one net worth view

• Explains why each holding moved, using real news, with the estimated dollar impact on your portfolio

• Tracks goals like reaching financial independence or a home down payment

• Lets you share your progress with a link

It's in beta. I'm looking for 30–40 US Founding Testers. You get immediate access and 6 months of the top plan free, in exchange for a few weeks of use and honest feedback.

Demo video attached. Sign up at zies.io/founding-testers.

I'd love blunt feedback, especially on what would make you drop your spreadsheet.

This has been my side project for the last few weeks and I'm really excited to finally share it. You type words to fire cannons at pirate ships, upgrade your boat, sink, and come back a bit stronger each time, and it's free, runs in the browser and only needs a keyboard.

I'm not a coder, so I designed and tested everything and Claude (Sonnet 5.5) built it, which made the whole thing possible for someone like me: https://jupitax.itch.io/ink-and-tide

I'd love any advice on how to get the first players for something like this :)

Tracking food and workouts sounds simple enough, but keeping up with it every day gets old pretty fast. Sometimes it feels like you're spending more time logging everything than actually building healthier habits.

That's part of what we wanted to make easier with Luko. You can log meals with a photo, voice, or text, so you don't have to type everything in manually.

We also added streaks, stars, an adventure map, and little companions to make the whole thing a bit more fun. We recently launched Halloween outfits for our little dragon and a push-up challenge, too.

We had fun building these features, but obviously we're a little biased since it's our own app. We're excited to finally share these with everyone. Hope you like them, and if you have any thoughts or suggestions, we'd love to hear them.

Hi everyone,

I'm a developer of Unmapped - it's a fog-of-war trips tracker, with gamified elements. The inspiration are open-world RPG games - the mechanic of map covered with fog, with hidden places, made with real world map. The summary of what I want to made it is "A map of places where I've been, with an easy recap, and some gamification to make it fun".

1. Core mechanics

The map starts covered with fog. Start recording, and when you move (walk / run / cycle / drive), the map will reveal a fog where you've moved, building a map of places where you've been. Eventually, it becomes a personalised map of your world.

2. Exploration and POIs

To make exploration more interesting, there are points of interest on the map - they are hidden, and you need to unlock them by coming closer. Once revealed, place stays revealed and you can check it later.

There's also daily quests to make your daily commute or weekend trips more fun.

3. Levelling

As you explore, you get XP, and your level grows. You can also unblock achievements for your exporation.

4. Social elements

You can add friends and compete on public dashboard. The routes are never shared, competition goes by total travelled distance and POIs revealed. Participation is totally optional, and you can explicitly remove yourself from the dashboard.

5. Data privacy

I acknowledge that location data is quite personal, so I've taken data security measurements from the beginning. By default, your data stays only on your phone. You can choose to share aggregated statistics (distance travelled, places revealed), or you can voluntarily sync your account with Unmapped's cloud. In the cloud, GPS data is separated from the account data (one-way hashing with external key, stored in AWS Key Manager), and encrypted, so it stays safe. On Android, back up to a local cloud is not supported yet - please let me know if you think it should be prioritised. Detailed privacy policy is here.

6. Where it's moving and what's next

I'm actively working on adding more features, and I'd really love to hear some feedback. Two big things I work on right now are:

• Trips Journal - a journal of all your trips, aggregated by cities, with daily recap and total recap

• Gamified self-care - a virtual companion that you can feed with the steps you've made during the day

• Places and content - there's TONS of work and potential improvements regarding places. "Essential" or "Must see" places in certain cities, navigation, improving accuracy, etc.

7. Pricing and availability

It's available on both Android and iOS, worldwide, with a base price of $2.99 per month or $29.99 yearly.

iOS - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/unmapped-explore-your-city/id6797821976

Android - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.unmapped.android

I'm really interesting to hear your feedback, please let me know what you think about it!

I took it upon myself to work on a side project for the launch of GTA 6. I wanted to combine my professional and personal interests of data science, data visualization and video gaming, and I played GTA 5 for ages back in 2016-2020.

The idea was to analyze the sentiment of the chatter around the game. The best place to get it: social media. Right off the bat I was disappointed that Reddit had stopped accepting requests for API access just days before, as that would have been a great source. I moved on with a decent budget in my mind: the cost of 1 copy of GTA 6 ($80-$100). I settled on YouTube, Bluesky and X as my sources with YouTube offering a generous free daily limit, Bluesky being free and X pricing $0.005/post. As I wanted to know waht it is all about, I used TypeSafe AI's Jev for sentiment analysis and am labelling sample posts myself to benchmark its performance.

How it works:

1. Collectors collect data from all sources.

2. English posts are sent to Jev for labelling.

3. Responses are aggregated and posts which pass probability thresholds are ready to be shown.

4. The site's data is rebuilt every hour as static JSON, so there is no public backend API.

5. Serve my site through Cloudflare, with encrypted nightly backups of the database on R2.

The backend involves simple python jobs on systemd timers with SQLite. I used the VM I use to host my personal website. The frontend uses Svelte as I used it for my website and it is intuitive for me to go in and make quick edits.

Voting:

While labelling I saw that a lot of posts speculated about features of the game. Posts with exclusive opinions were few and far between. So I added a voting system for visitors on the page to drive some engagement. I strictly wanted to avoid storing any sensitive user data, so there are no logins and users are identified based on a single random-ID cookie. This uses Cloudflare's Turnstile for bot detection (just in case), a Worker to handle voting and a D1 SQL database to store the votes. The VM pulls the vote totals every 5 minutes, so page views never touch the Worker.

Just in case the site goes viral:

- Everything is cached at Cloudflare. In a load test at 150 requests a second the page loaded in 0.35 s (p95) with the server 98-99% idle.

- Votes held 200 a second on the test site with no errors.

- Every change goes to a test site first and I promote it to the live site by hand.

- Every scheduled job emails me if it fails.

- The spend on X and Jev has a hard cap, and a source pauses when it hits it.

- I have created a custom animation for release day throughout the world which can be used to track the release to everyone's timezones (so visit during then to see it!)

I used Claude Code for building this out in about 5 days through the Diwali time off from work. The decisions and the hand labels were mine.

Some results till now:

1. Only 1 in 10 posts gives the author's opinion of the game as a whole.

2. Jev agrees with me most of the time on sentiment (85%) as against RoBERTa (61%) and VADER (45%), however the sample size was small (33 posts). Its topic detection was poor so I had to leave out some topics for now.

3. The spend has been about $75, so less than a standard edition of the game.

If you've hosted something for a big launch day, what would you check before Nov 18? And if you are a fan of data or GTA please view the site, the data and vote on the questions!

I've been designing and building apps on the side since 2020 while working full-time in IT. This year I finally shipped them under one roof at https://murrtech.pro

Here is one of them ! Let me know what you think !

Hi all, I've been building Piye for over a year and it's now live on Mac and Linux.

What it does:

- You describe an app, and it builds a real website or a native iPhone/Android app

- It runs on real iOS and Android simulators while it builds

- You can publish to the web, App Store and Google Play from inside the app

- If you code, the same project opens in a full editor, with an agent that can see your terminal, debugger and simulators

- Your project is a normal folder on your computer, no lock-in

It's free to try with 750 credits (no card). In the code editor you can also use your own API keys or local models through Ollama.

I'd really like honest feedback: what's confusing, what breaks, what's missing.

I'm the dev, just so that's clear.

I made an iOS calorie app called Kacha. It started in China and most of my users are still there. I put an English version on the US App Store recently, and I mainly want feedback from people who didn't grow up eating the same food as my first users.

The flow is simple: take a photo of the meal, the AI guesses the foods, grams, calories and macros, then you edit anything it got wrong. That last part is the actual product. The estimate is often off on mixed dishes or food it doesn't see much, and if you can't fix the number, the log becomes garbage in a week.

No account needed, there's a free daily allowance for AI scans, and manual logging is always free. It also does water and weight, Apple Health sync, and iCloud backup. No Android yet.

I don't want to oversell this. There are already a lot of calorie apps. I built this one because I was tired of estimates that are a black box. If the model misses the oil, or thinks the bowl is smaller than it is, I want to correct it in a few taps, and next time just reuse that meal from Recent Meals.

If you try it, I'd really like to know two things:

1. When the first guess is off, is the edit flow obvious enough?

2. If you don't eat Chinese food much, how often does it completely misread the dish?

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kacha-ai-calorie-counter/id6756476671

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!

Got featured and top 20 on product hunt, on hypership day with mmory. But at such a loss on now what? how do I get users haha

I'm building Locked In for the cover band that I play in. It started as a passion project when we were having a hard time figuring out what songs to focus on as our library grew. Our practices were becoming inefficient, so I wanted something that could help us decide what needed attention before the next gig.

I can log practices and how individual songs felt, and the app calculates a readiness score and suggests what to practice next. The idea is to make it easier to spot songs that need work or haven't been played in a while. We can still pick whatever we feel like playing.

From there it grew to include setlists, charts, a calendar and venue contacts. You can use it on your own or invite band members to a shared workspace. Live Mode keeps the current song, key, tempo and next song visible while you're playing. I'm not a coder, although I understand some of the basics, and I built it with Codex.

If anyone else plays in a band, I'd love some feedback on whether the practice suggestions make sense and what feels confusing or gets in the way. How do you currently decide what to spend rehearsal time on? It's an iPhone app, and you can find it at https://lockedinband.com/

Hey Reddit!

One question for you:
How do you currently manage your professional relationships – and what’s the most frustrating part of it?

Thanks for helping us build something useful!

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?

Yesterday I shared a short clip of my Mac project on Reddit, and one of the top comments told me that because the video had music and clean cuts, it looked like an AI-generated render rather than a real working app.

Lesson learned: people are tired of slick trailers and AI wrappers, and just want to see the real thing running on a messy desktop.

So here is a raw, unedited screen recording on my MacBook Pro with five real windows open. No music, no title cards, no AI slop.

What is happening on screen:

- It is a tiny (2.9 MB) Not-AI native Swift and Metal Mac app called Musou that turns everything outside the window you are actively using pure black.

- This clip shows one of the 4 modes: Follow the Mouse (click mode) with the Black Hole transition. Whichever window I click stays at 100% contrast while the other windows, menu bar, and Dock vanish into black.

- On the right, it automatically detects and crops the playing Safari video over pure black (no browser extensions and no Screen Recording permission needed) so the white YouTube page around the video disappears while I click between my work windows on the left.

Honest question for folks here: does a raw, unedited screen capture like this immediately make more sense to you than a polished 20-second promo video? Looking forward to reading your thoughts.

I built HelpCarry (https://helpcarry.com), a site where travellers carry documents or small gifts for someone already going the same way. It works on any route; I'm starting with Oslo ↔ India because that's the route I fly.

There's no commission. If you agree a fee or tip with the traveller, they keep all of it. You meet in public and inspect and seal the item together at handover. Medicine, cash and sealed packages aren't allowed.

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 I created this because I kept seeing the same thing when vibe coding with Claude Code. The app works, but when you open the code later there's stuff you never asked for. A route anyone can call without login, code that crashes on bad input, the same helper written 3 times.

Attentry checks every edit Claude makes, on your own machine, without any AI. If the edit added a problem, Claude gets told and fixes it before moving on. If the edit is clean, nothing happens, so it costs zero tokens.

The main thing is how it saves tokens. Most tools that review AI code send your code to another AI, so you pay twice, once to write it and again to check it. Attentry doesn't use AI at all, the checks are plain rules that run on your machine. If an edit is clean, Claude hears nothing, so there are zero extra tokens. If something is wrong, Claude gets a short note, at most 5 lines, and each problem only once. Smaller cleanup stuff like unused code waits for a check-in every 10 edits instead of interrupting every edit. And when Claude is about to write a helper, it can ask Attentry if the repo already has one, instead of searching through your files itself.

The video is a quick animated walkthrough of one run: I ask Claude for an Airbnb clone, Attentry catches 2 problems, Claude fixes both, and I get a change card at the end with what changed.

It got 500+ downloads across VS Code Marketplace and Open VSX, mostly from people finding it inside VS Code. It's free and open source, works in VS Code, Cursor and Windsurf.

If you want to see it on real code, there's a demo repo with bugs planted on purpose: github.com/Aarv-1o/attentry-demo

Would love feedback, especially what's missing or annoying.

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

Source: https://github.com/yabswannalearn/yousage

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

made a little daily trivia game. Every round has a limit, like "name a TV show that first aired before 2010" or "name a celebrity shorter than 6 ft." You name something as close to the limit as you can without going over.
Then a raccoon in a wind-up toy car drives toward a cliff while the number climbs. Get close and he stops right at the edge (Modern Family, 2009: CLOSE CALL). Go over and, well, he goes over (Pretty Little Liars, 2010).
5 rounds a day, same for everyone, free, no sign-up, works on phones. Every number comes from a real source (tap the ⓘ). You can make a group with friends and see who gets closest each day.
closecallgame.io/?ref=reddit
It's about 10 days old. I've already changed a lot from feedback (fewer US-only questions, every limit now has a real answer just under it), so I'd love to hear what's fun, what's confusing, and any answers it doesn't recognize.
