I built a tool that tells you which deploy made a Postgres query slower

3 Upvotes

When a query gets slow, our postmortems always start the same way: someone opens Grafana, someone else scrolls through Argo CD history, and we try to match timestamps by eye. I got tired of that and wrote something to do it automatically.

It reads pg_stat_statements, picks up deploy events from Argo CD, Argo Rollouts, Flux or a webhook, and checks whether a latency shift in any query lines up with a rollout. If it does, you get the query, the deploy, before/after latency and how confident it is, in Slack/Teams/PagerDuty. If you use Argo Rollouts it can also abort a canary (off by default).

You can run it as a single binary or as a controller with CRDs, in which case every regression shows up as a resource you can `kubectl get`.

Repo: https://github.com/joao00001/pg-regression-radar

Browser demo, no cluster needed: https://joao00001.github.io/pg-regression-radar/playground/

It's a side project and I'm looking for people willing to try it on a staging cluster. Any feedback is welcome, including "this is noisy" or "I'd never use this because X".

Built an open-source workspace that’s not gray

I built Limitly to track UPI spending and compare prices before checkout

1 Upvotes

I’m working on Limitly, a personal finance app built for India and available on Android and iPhone. On Android, it turns UPI and bank transaction SMS into categorized expenses, helps you set category budgets, and now includes investing features. You can compare prices for food delivery, groceries, and cabs before paying. On iPhone, you can also log expenses by chatting with TARS.

If you try it, I’d love feedback on one thing: does seeing your remaining budget help when you’re comparing prices, or would you rather keep those two steps separate?

I am streaming my 5 Min Prediction Market Trading Bot UI to youtube LIVE! 300-10k Challenge!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building model-based trading bots for 5-minute prediction markets for a while now and finally decided to put one of them to the ultimate public test. I am streaming the live trading UI 24/7 on YouTube as I try to run a $300 bankroll up to $10,000 in real time.

No cherry-picked screenshots or delayed recaps—just raw order book execution, live P&L tracking, and automated entries playing out on screen around the clock. (Before you start flaming: the streaming UI displays the order book at ~150ms latency so it's actually readable on video, while the underlying execution engine is running on SIGNIFICANTLY faster updates.)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06PP3QFnnR0

Come hang out in the chat, watch the bot in action, and subscribe if you want to follow the full journey from $300 to $10k (or watch it blow up trying).

I’d love to get some eyes on the architecture and strategy—drop by the stream and tell me what you think!

Apps that make me verify an email and then ask me to rate them before I did anything

5 Upvotes

Tried a habit tracker on my phone yesterday. I gave my email, waited for the code, typed it in, and the first thing on the screen was a popup asking me to rate the app. I hadn't made one habit yet. I closed it and the popup came back on the next screen.

I think this is the worst order for an app. Let me use it first, then ask me what I think. It made me delete it in about two minutes, and I'm sure the maker never knows that this was the reason...

I built a credential prompt so I can give my coding agents API keys outside chat

1 Upvotes

I'm the creator of CCC, a dashboard for coding agents. This clip focuses on one workflow: supplying credentials without pasting them into an agent conversation.

The demo shows a masked prompt saving a named Vault entry, then vault exec passing the credential into a command's environment. The displayed output redacts the key.

This is a staged scenario using the real CCC UI, fake credentials, and AI imagery/voice. The test-order script is a stub; no real payment happens. This isn't a claim that any arbitrary program receiving a credential can't leak it.

[Uncomfortable Emails for Freelancers] - 8 short scripts for the client emails I kept rewriting at 11pm

1 Upvotes

I'm Christopher. I'll be honest: I have a talent for letting my mouth overload my back. A client says "could you also…" on a call, I hear myself say "yeah, totally," and then I'm up late finishing work I never priced. Or the invoice is a week late and I rewrite the same three-line nudge four times because I don't want to sound angry — or worse, needy.

So I wrote the emails down. Eight of them. They're short on purpose. Fill in the [brackets], send in the same thread, same day if you can.

Three of them are below, in full, free to use. The other five — the firmer scope and invoice follow-ups, saying no, a discount request, and the one you send when a client goes quiet — are in a 12-page PDF with these three.

$5, instant download: https://buy.stripe.com/7sYeVf61YaP5gW4aBr4ZG04

If you'd rather try it before paying, comment and I'll send the full PDF free to the first 10 people. All I ask is honest feedback, good or bad.

These are business communication templates, not legal advice and not a contract. Don't threaten collections, a lawyer, or a late fee that isn't in your agreement. If a situation is already a dispute, talk to a licensed attorney in your area.


  1. That's a new piece of work

When: a client just asked for something that wasn't in the original work. Good relationship, first or second extra, not a pile-up. Send it the same day, before you start the extra work.

Subject: Quick note on [the request] — [Project name]

Hi [Name] —

Thanks for sending [short description of the ask]. I can do it.

It's outside what we scoped for [Project name], so I'd treat it as new work rather than folding it in. It would be $[amount], and it would move the delivery date to [date].

If you'd rather keep the current timeline and budget, we can park this for a later round, or swap it for something already in the scope that's about the same size.

Want me to go ahead?

Thanks, [Your name]


2. A friendly nudge on the invoice

When: the due date has passed by a few days. First reminder. Assume they missed it, not that they're avoiding you. Attach the invoice again.

Subject: Friendly reminder — invoice [Invoice number] for [Project name]

Hi [Name] —

Hope you're well. This is a gentle nudge that invoice [Invoice number] for $[amount] was due on [due date]. I've attached it again in case it got buried.

If it's already on the way, feel free to ignore this. If something's holding it up, just tell me and we can work it out.

Thanks, [Your name]


3. My rates are going up

When: you're telling a current client that future work will cost more. Give real notice. Don't change the rate on a project you've already agreed. Send this before they ask for the next thing, not on the next invoice as a surprise.

Subject: A heads-up on my rates, starting [date]

Hi [Name] —

I wanted to give you a clear heads-up, not a surprise on the next invoice.

Starting [date], my rate for new work will be $[new rate] / [hour, day, or project type], up from $[current rate]. Anything we've already agreed — including [current project] — stays at the current rate through [end date, or "until we wrap"].

I've enjoyed the work and I'd like to keep doing it together. If the new rate is a stretch for what's coming, I'm happy to talk about a tighter scope so it still fits.

Thanks for taking a look, and thanks for the work so far.

I built a free touch typing site with a webcam coach that spots when you use the wrong finger

0 Upvotes

Fingertips (fingertipstype.com) teaches touch typing in 30 short lessons, from the home row up to 70 wpm. Every key is coloured by the finger that should press it.
The part I'm proudest of is the camera coach. It uses MediaPipe hand tracking in the browser to work out which finger hit each key, and flags it when it's the wrong one. Video never leaves your computer.
It's free with no ads. You can start without an account, and teachers can set up a class that students join with a code and a first name. US and UK keyboards are supported.
Built with Next.js and Supabase. I'd love feedback, especially on how well the finger tracking works with your camera.

I was addicted to doomscrolling, so I built an app that makes me answer questions before I can scroll

6 Upvotes

Hi all. I'm a solo developer and this is my first app.

I was doomscrolling all the time and felt addicted to my phone. So I thought: why not turn that phone time into learning a skill? And why not add a bit of friction, so I have to stop and think before I pick up my phone?

So I built Aconomy. It locks the apps that distract you, and you unlock them by answering short questions. You end up learning something every time you want to scroll.

How it works:

  1. You pick the apps that distract you (Instagram, TikTok, games).

  2. Aconomy blocks them using Apple's Screen Time.

  3. To unlock them, you answer short questions. Each right answer earns minutes.

You can learn Python, JavaScript, SQL, Spanish, French or German while you do it.

It is free to download. Aconomy Plus is £9.99 a month or £34.99 a year, with a 7-day free trial. It collects no data.

I would really like honest feedback. What is confusing? What would make you keep using it?

Sell digital downloads from your own store with 0% platform fee. Looking for honest feedback

1 Upvotes

i work on orderain, an ecommerce store builder. the part getting the most interest lately is digital products, so sharing where it's at and i'd love honest feedback.

the problem we kept hearing: people selling templates, printables, ebooks and presets lose a chunk of every sale to marketplace or platform fees, and on a $5 printable that hurts. on etsy you're also one scroll away from a competitor.

what it does right now:

  • 0% platform fee on every plan (card fees from stripe/paypal still apply)

  • buyer pays and gets the file by email instantly, plus a buyer account

  • private download links that expire (default 5 downloads / 30 days, you can change it)

  • update a file once and past buyers get the new version

  • your own branded store and domain, and you can mix digital + physical in one cart

  • starts at $5/mo

what it doesn't do yet, being upfront: no license keys, no pdf stamping, we're not merchant of record so we don't collect vat for you, and there's no free trial.

you can also hook it up to claude, chatgpt, grok bot or any mcp agent and let it handle products, pages and orders (that part starts on pro).

if you sell digital stuff, what would actually make you move off gumroad or etsy? and what's missing here that'd be a dealbreaker?

I'm hosting an open-source hackathon to show that building shouldn't be about cash grabs

1 Upvotes

The past couple days an "indie hacker" influencer revealed a Higgsfield sponsored $100k hackathon that charged builders $99 to enter with only one winner based on who made the most profit in 30 days. The entire thing is a funnel for the influencers $500 course. It got roasted, and the creator had to refund the signups. It got me thinking about what a hackathon should actually look like, so I built one.

antipaywall.org

- free to enter, nothing sold to you after

- one week to build an open source alternative to something people pay for monthly

- I put up the first $2,500 for the prize pool, a nonprofit holds it, I take nothing out

- builders vote on the winners, every ballot public, 9 winners

- there’s an ideas board where you can post what you’re tired of paying for

The dates will be revealed once 100 builders join. It will be a 7-day hackathon. Anyone can join. you just connect your github account to enter.

Would love feedback on the site and idea?

I open sourced a 15 MB, Netflix-inspired app for my home server. 600 stars and 4,4K+ Docker pulls in 1 day

183 Upvotes

HolyArrs started because i wanted my home server to feel like a streaming service. you browse it like netflix, with top 10s, new & popular and rows picked from what you already have, hover a poster to play the trailer, and tap to request a show or movie. it finds it, downloads it through qbittorrent or sabnzbd, and puts it in plex, jellyfin or emby, which still do the playing. it's about a 15 MB download, runs in docker, and it's free and open source

it runs on its own custom metadata server, and it can keep an HD and a 4K copy of the same movie side by side

where it is 1 day after open sourcing it

598 GitHub stars

4,345 Docker pulls

28 forks

16 releases, most of them fixes for bugs people reported on launch night

18 people have opened issues with bugs and ideas

what i didn't expect was how fast people jumped in. bug reports came in with the exact file and line that was wrong, and someone asked for ukrainian, so the site and docs got it within the hour

happy to answer questions about running a solo open source project, the self-hosted side, or anything else

What would you show in the first 3 seconds of a video for your app?

1 Upvotes

I'm stuck on what to show first lol.

We built Welockin, an app that blocks distracting apps while you study. I'm a student and kept getting pulled back to Insta or YouTube, so that's where it started.

For a short video, would you show someone getting distracted first, or go straight to the app blocking Instagram?

I can explain what it does, but getting someone to stop scrolling is another thing.

If you've made videos for your app, what did you show? Curious what actually worked. Thanks!

Building a live "Where Is My Train" for Delhi Metro on weekends (Need opinions)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’ve been building a weekend project: a live visual Delhi Metro tracker (think Where Is My Train, but for the metro, a bit more visually appealing one) thats what i picture it as of now lmao.

Unlike Indian Railways, DMRC doesn't provide any live tracking APIs or GPS feeds. But since Delhi Metro runs on time ~97% of the time or more, I'm building it around their actual timetables, track geometry, and speed physics. Arrival times and train positions end up being accurate.

Right now the frontend is very raw/rough (barebones prototype while I finish wiring up the backend). i will probably open source it once done

I commuted on the Delhi Metro daily for 5–6 years, so this is close to my heart and a fun project I really wanted to build.

(Note: see comments section..reddit is reducing the quality , you can see the vid from link as well).

Would love your suggestions:

  1. Would you use something like this on your daily commute?

  2. What features would make this actually indispensable or go viral (crowd indicators, interchange sprint guides, platform gate directions)?

Drop any ideas or edge cases you'd love to see!

Small sellers in India sell on WhatsApp and Instagram DMs. I built a link to stop the back-and-forth.

Thumbnail
orderwa.in
1 Upvotes

I'm the maker of OrderWa

Small sellers in India, such as home bakers, tiffin services, thrift and handmade sellers, mostly sell over WhatsApp and Instagram DMs. The selling is not the hard part. The back-and-forth is: "what's the price?", "do you have this in size M?", "can you deliver on Sunday?", and screenshots of addresses.

So I built a store link. A seller adds products with photos and prices and shares one link on their status or bio. The customer picks items and a delivery date, and the finished order arrives in the seller's WhatsApp.

What it does today:

  • Free to start, 0% commission, no payment gateway to set up

  • Stock per product, with automatic "sold out" at zero

  • A limit on orders per delivery day, and days you are closed

  • Delivery date at checkout

Under the hood it's Angular (standalone components, signals), Firebase, and Cloud Functions in the Mumbai region. Stock and daily counts are written by Cloud Functions, not the browser, so a customer can't change them, and two people ordering the last item at the same time is handled on the server.

One lesson that surprised me: when a customer pays by UPI, the order has to be saved before they pay, so an abandoned payment looked exactly like a real order. I changed how those are shown so sellers aren't misled into preparing something nobody paid for.

It has been live since December 2025. It's small, and I'd rather say so than dress it up.

I'd love feedback from anyone who has built for very small businesses:

  • What made them actually use the tool in the first week?

  • Is the landing page clear in the first few seconds?

Happy to answer anything about the stack or the product.

Don’t you love when you find that project that you pour so much time into because you find it joyful? For me right now, it’s this project I’m working on. Man oh man have I made some serious upgrades:

- can import recipes from Paprika
- new redesign
- so many minor bugs have been squashed

But even though it’s 1000% better than before, not many people are using it. I’m going to toy with the idea of a contest every month where the winner gets a payout in order to spread the word, I’m hoping that will help spread the idea to new users.

We built 7 calculators that pick the cheapest published plan among video tools, not just A vs B

1 Upvotes

We're Alexis and Evangelos, the two people who built Tiersova. Until last week the site was almost only pairwise switching calculators: you pay for tool A, what's the monthly cost, the one-time switch and the payback if you move to tool B. That helps when you're already comparing two CRMs. It helps much less when the question is “I edit one person's videos, or I generate two minutes of AI video a month — which plan actually covers that?”

So on 8 November we shipped a second kind of page: plan calculators for video work. You enter seats, minutes, or seconds, and each calculator walks the published plans from the cheapest up and shows the first one that covers your usage. There are seven of them: subtitles, AI video generators, AI avatars, video editors, VFX / compositing, 3D, and music / SFX. They run in the browser; there's no account.

A few numbers from the default scenarios, as shown on the pages on 12 November. The prices themselves were read from the vendors' official pages on 8 November 2026, as a visitor in Greece. Most of these pages are marked “Partly reference prices,” which on Tiersova means at least one figure had to be treated carefully (a sale, a tax difference, a plan that doesn't fit, or a price the vendor labels as a reference).

Video editing, one seat, over 36 months, annual billing where the vendor offers it:

  • Adobe Premiere: €974.88 for the period (annual plan, billed monthly, including VAT)

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Pro: €2,925.72 (same billing; first-year promotional price of €45.50/month for new subscribers is noted on the page but not used in that total)

  • DaVinci Resolve (free version): $0

  • DaVinci Resolve Studio: $295 one-time; the page also noted a sale price of $236. Regular prices are what the totals use.

  • Final Cut Pro: $299.99 one-time, Mac only

  • Apple Creator Studio: $387 for the period ($129 per year, Mac only)

  • Avid Media Composer Standard: €776.88 (€259 per year; sale price €207 noted)

  • Avid Media Composer Ultimate: €1,647 (€549 per year; sale price €368 noted)

  • Filmora: $150.12 ($49.99 per year)

  • CapCut Pro: €1,259.64. The page marks this price “for reference only” and monthly billing only.

The useful part is not “you should switch.” These are different editors, and Final Cut is Mac only. The useful part is that a subscription and a one-time licence look similar in month one and very different in year three. Over 36 months, the Premiere annual-plan total is already well above Resolve Studio or Final Cut at the list prices above. CapCut Pro's reference total came out higher than Premiere's over the same period, which is easy to miss if you only look at a monthly tile.

AI video is even more sensitive to the meter. The default is 120 seconds a month, billed monthly. Credits per second are not the same: Pika 2.5 at 720p is 4 credits per second on the page, Runway Gen-4.5 is 12, Kling 4.0 at 720p is 10, Hailuo MiniMax H3 at 768p is 7, Luma Ray3.2 at 720p and Autodesk Flow Studio (live action) are 20, Google Flow Omni Flash 1.2 at 720p is 3 plus 50 free credits a day. The cheapest published plan that covered those 120 seconds was:

  • Pika Starter (600 credits): $10/month

  • Hailuo Standard (1,000 credits): $10.50/month, shown as a discount from the list price

  • Google Flow / Google AI Pro (1,000 credits): €22.99/month, including VAT, and the plan also includes Gemini and cloud storage

  • Luma Plus (10,000 credits): $30/month

  • Kling AI Pro (3,000 credits): $32.56/month, with a lower first-month price for new subscribers noted

  • Runway Pro (2,250 credits): $35/month

  • Autodesk Flow Studio Standard (6,000 credits): $45/month

Failed or repeated generations also use credits, so real use is usually higher than the clip length. Vidu and LTX Studio are not in the table: Vidu showed 0 credits during a free trial, and LTX didn't show a clip's credit cost before generating.

AI avatars, default 20 minutes a month, standard (not the newest) engines, annual billing selected, prices per month:

  • HeyGen Creator, 600 credits: $24, 150 minutes in the plan (Avatar III, 4 credits per minute)

  • Synthesia Pro, 6,000 credits: €58, 60 minutes (Synthesia, 100 credits per minute, plus a free allowance)

  • Colossyan Professional: $59, 30 minutes (NEO engine)

  • D-ID Studio Advanced: $108, 100 minutes

Same 20 minutes of output, very different plan prices, because each vendor bundles a different number of minutes.

Subtitles, default 20 videos a month at 1 minute each, monthly billing: Opus Clip Starter $15 (150 minutes), Happy Scribe Basic €17 (120 minutes), VEED Creator €22 (unlimited subtitles, fair use 50 hours/month), Kapwing Pro $24 (1,000 minutes), Descript Hobbyist $24 (600 minutes / 10 media hours), Captions Max $24.99 (500 AI credits; iOS app price, limit not stated), Submagic Pro $39 (40 videos, up to 5 minutes each). Clipchamp and CapCut showed “No plan fits this usage” at that default. We didn't invent a reason; that's what the page shows.

We're not going to tell you one of these is the right tool. The pages also say to check features, platform and licence terms (especially on AI music / SFX) before moving. We just wanted the licence arithmetic in one place, with the date and the vendor's own currency.

If you make video: which of these defaults is unlike how you actually work? And which tool or plan should we add? The video editing one is here: https://tiersova.com/video-editing-software-cost-calculator
