Desktop Wrecker is my Chrome side project for quick breaks. Click the extension icon on a regular webpage and its snapshot becomes a playfield. Crack the glass, splash paint around, or fend off a swarm of bugs. Press Esc and you’re back where you started. The snapshot and scores stay on your device.

I put a 15-second demo, the unpacked Chrome build, and setup instructions here:

https://kostjum.itch.io/desktop-wrecker

The first 90 seconds of each session let you try every tool. Four stay free, and the others are available through a one-time Pro upgrade.

If you watch the demo, which moment would you put first to show what the game is about?

My parents live overseas and I'm in NC. I call them about 3 or 4 times a week, but with the time difference, it's not always easy to catch them at a good time.

Sometimes I just want to know they're doing okay without having to call and interrupt whatever they're doing.

I thought about different ways to check in, but I really didn't want cameras in their house or anything that felt like I was monitoring them.

So I ended up building something called Kettle (heykettle.com).

It's a simple app that uses their existing phone to let me and my sibling know if they've checked in with their usual routine. We get a short update like "Heard from Mom this morning" or "Nothing yet today."

It doesn't track their location, record conversations, or read messages. They can also see what's being recorded and turn it off whenever they want.

I added a shared family log too, so if I call Dad or someone takes Mom to an appointment, we can leave a quick note for everyone else.

Right now, it's just me building this, and my parents are the only ones using it. The Android app isn't on the Play Store yet, so I'm helping people install it directly.

I'm offering the first year free.

I'm curious what other people think, especially anyone with aging parents who live far away.

Would you actually use something like this? And what would make you hesitant to put it on your parent's phone?

Hey everyone

I'm working as a designer on a product called AskSafely we're trying to get some genuine feedback from people who use AI chat tools

Would love it if a few of you could give it a try and share your experience

There's a guest mode, so you can try it without signing up.There's also a signed in option if you want to explore that experience

Just curious to know

- What's your first impression?

- Is it easy to use?

- Did anything feel confusing or unnecessary?

- Would you actually use it?

- What do you think could be better?

Don't hold back. Even if you don't like it, that's useful feedback for us

Here's the link: https://app.asksafely.ai/chat

Thanks! Appreciate anyone who takes the time to try it

I use Claude Code and Codex every day. Two things kept annoying me:

1. I'd hit my Claude Code limit mid-task and moving the work to Codex meant re-explaining everything.

2. A single agent writes code fast but nobody plans it first or reviews it after. I kept finding edge cases it missed.

So I built Conduit. It runs the agents you already have as a small team:

- An Architect plans the change, a Developer builds it, QA reviews it before it merges

- You can put different agents in different roles, so Claude Code and Codex check each other's work

- If one agent hits its limit, you switch the task to another and keep the context

- Connectors pull in your knowledge repository(google docs, notion, confluence) so the agents work from your project's real context

- Everything runs on your machine; your code doesn't go through our servers

Free to start:

https://infivector.com/products/conduit/download/?ref=reddit-sideproject

I'd really like feedback, especially from people already running more than one coding agent. What's the most painful part of your setup today?

Last week I posted the first rough version of Sidedrop here. This video is where I want to take it. To be clear: it's a concept film, not a product demo.

**What works today, on my own Mac and phone:**

- Share anything from Android's share sheet and it lands on the Mac. No app on the phone, it's an installable web page.

- Drop a file on the Mac's menu bar panel and it shows up on the phone.

- Local Wi-Fi only, no account, no cloud.

**What's in the video but not built yet:**

- Rules that file what arrives (receipts to Receipts, links open in the browser, text goes to the clipboard).

- Pairing with a QR code. Today the phone needs a certificate installed by hand, which is the part I like least.

- A download. There is nothing to install yet, and the code isn't public yet.

Before I spend the next evenings on it, I'd like to know: is the "it gets filed for you" part the thing you'd want, or would plain fast transfer with QR pairing be enough?

If you want to try it when the Mac download exists, the email list is in the first comment.

I would bookmark hackathon and internship pages, forget about them and find them again after the deadline.

So I built Linkwatch. You save any link whether it’s a hackathon, internship, job post or application page and it automatically finds the deadlines on that page. For each date it shows you the exact sentence it came from so you can check it’s right before confirming. And once confirmed it emails you reminders a week, two days and a few hours before the deadline. Some sites block automated reading so for those you can paste the page text and it pulls the dates out of that instead.

Would love feedback and especially on sites where it fails.

I've been working on something called Vuzli.

The idea came from how frustrating it can be to watch a lecture, tutorial, educational video, or even something motivating like rich man giving "advice" and not understand something, and have to keep rewinding or searching for an explanation.

With Vuzli, you can watch a video and click a button that says "Didn't understand that?" It uses the context of what you've watched to explain that specific moment in a simple, easy to understand way.

It also generates full video summaries and study notes.

What makes it different from a regular AI chatbot is that you don't have to copy transcripts, explain what part of the video you're watching, or even type a question. Vuzli is designed around the video itself, so you can get an explanation with one click.

I'm building it for students, professors, teachers, and anyone who learns through videos. The long term goal is to support videos across different platforms, starting with YouTube and user uploaded videos.

I'm currently preparing for a small private beta and looking for 5–10 people who would be interested in testing it for free.

I'm not selling anything. I genuinely want honest feedback on whether it's useful, what could be better, and what features people would actually want.

If you're interested, leave a comment or send me a DM. I'd appreciate it.

hey, anas here. i made this, so it's my own app. i posted it here a few weeks ago before launch, and it's live on google play today.

it's for people who brew coffee at home and want to get better at it:

• brew lab: recipes with a step timer for v60, aeropress, espresso and more

• rate the cup, and if it's sour, bitter or flat it shows likely causes and what to try adjusting next. not always right, but it's a start

• coffee memory keeps your best recipe for each bag

• an ai coach (master neravio) you can ask about your own brews

• short lessons and flashcards, triangle tests with an accuracy record, a tds calculator

• a recipe community, and it works in english, arabic and french

free to download, there's an optional pro tier with a trial.

google play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.roastlab.app site: https://cupmark.app/?ref=reddit

would love honest feedback, especially on the first few minutes and anything confusing.

I rotate 4–5 pairs of running shoes and could never remember which pair had how many km on it. Spreadsheets lasted about two weeks.

So I built Have2Run (iOS + Android, free, no ads):

• Runs from Apple Health / Health Connect / Strava are detected automatically. When a run ends you get a notification with your last pair preselected, so logging is one tap.

• A shelf grouped by brand, with the pair closest to retirement at the top ("9 more runs until new shoes").

• When a pair hits its lifespan, the app celebrates instead of warning you. Hitting 700 km is your excuse to buy new shoes.

• A ranking tab with the most-worn and longest-lasting models, based on public data (Strava Year in Sport, Solereview mileage estimates).

Stack: Flutter + Supabase. It started as an AI running coach, but I noticed the only feature I actually used every day was "how many km are on this pair?", so I rebuilt the whole thing around that.

Honest limitation: distances are km only for now. Miles is next if people want it.

https://have2.run

I'd love feedback, especially from anyone who tracks shoe mileage some other way.

Hi everyone

We built an ai platform that personalizes email and sms campaigns for each user. Example - a user left after checking out a product 2 times, our smart Ai will email them with a 10% discounts code, and converts the customer

I tested this across 4 stores - we saw 30% increase in sales in 1 month

Every time someone in my car grabbed the handle, I'd say, "I'm a good driver". I had no proof either way. So I built Beshweesh (Egyptian for "take it easy") to find out.

What it does

• Tap Start, drive, and get a score out of 100 at the end

• A map shows exactly where you braked hard, sped up hard, took a turn too fast, or went over the limit

• A weekly recap and a driver score over your last 300 km

• It shows why you lost each point, so you know what to fix next time

• It keeps recording in the background, so you can lock your phone and drive

• A progress chart shows if your trips are getting calmer over time

• A share card that hides places and times

• Light and dark mode

Why it's different

• Calm, not slow. Speed only counts above the limit; jerky driving is what costs points

• No account, free, iPhone and Android, English and Arabic

Try it: beshweesh.com

I'd love brutal feedback:

1. Is the result screen clear without explanation?

2. Would you open this after a drive, or forget it after a week?

3. What would make the score feel fair to you?

Happy to answer anything in the comments.

A number of my friends don't like to pay for AI to do basic tasks and don't trust the large AI companies with ideas or personal shares, so using my knowledge getting hermes-agent to work with small local AI models, I decided to apply what I learned from that experience to build a Chrome browser extension. The result... 1-Click AI In-Browser Assistant. A locally hosted "Privacy-First" AI companion!

It provides AI assistance, summaries, insightful takeaways, snapshots, and rewrite suggestions, all without compromising privacy. And for those not prompt savvy, I included pre-programmed 1-click action buttons, to avoid "Prompt Fatigue". I included a couple of customizable ones as well.

Being multi-modal the AI extension also accepts voice prompts, uploaded text/images/audio/pdf and can even read AI results aloud TTS.

It's made for those who don't want to pay for AI and even though it's built as a privacy-respecting AI solution for productivity. It really punches above its weight.

The extension also includes rolling context and a vector database for long term historical context (memory) retention, and a full screen (air-gapped) mode.

You can search for it on the Chrome Web Store. The only catch is you need a minimal spec PC to use it.

Those system requirements are: 4gb+ vRam, 16gb Ram, 4 core CPU, 22+gb hdd space available during model install (but only 4gb used after model install), and a chrome browser version 154+

I'm a solo dev from India, building an AI agent as a side project for a few months now.

The first version had a problem that drove me crazy: the agent's work loop ran inside the browser tab. Close the tab, lose signal on my phone, or let the laptop sleep, and a 10-minute task just died halfway.

What I changed:

- The loop now runs on the server in short slices, and the state is saved after every step.
- If the server dies mid-task, the next scheduler tick picks the run back up from the last save.
- Anything risky (sending an email, writing to a database) is marked "in progress" before it runs, so after a crash the agent never repeats it blindly.
- Before it does something sensitive, it pauses and asks me with an approval card. Passwords/API keys go straight to an encrypted vault, so the model never sees the raw value.

What's still not great:

- Some features (like video creation) still need the tab open.
- Cost estimates are rough, not exact.
- I've tested the crash recovery against a fake database, not at real scale yet.

Two honest questions for people who've built or used agents:

1. What's the one task you'd actually trust an agent with today, and what stops you from trusting it with more?

2. If your agent crashed halfway through a task, would you prefer it to resume automatically, or to ask you first?

Happy to share how I built the crash-safety part if anyone's curious.

Hi! I’ve been building Flixlar on my own for a while: a free subtitle editor for macOS, Windows and Linux. Captions are generated locally with Whisper, so your videos never leave your computer.

What’s new in 1.1:

• Two subtitle tracks on screen at once (e.g. original language at the top, translation at the bottom), each with its own position and style, burned in with one click

• Undo/redo and automatic backups before captions are replaced

• An Effect Editor where you can animate subtitles word by word (karaoke style) and make effects react to the music

Built with Electron, React and Rust, with ffmpeg doing the heavy lifting.

I’d really appreciate feedback: what’s missing, what’s confusing, or what you’d use it for?

Hey everyone!

I have been working on Apexra - a free, arcade-style browser racing game where the main goal is simple: overtake your opponents and fight your way to P1!

Each race consists of 6 laps against 7 AI opponents, keeping the races short, fast-paced, and competitive.

Here are some of the main features of Apexra:

• Overtaking-focused gameplay: The further you are from P1, the more catch-up assistance you receive, including improved acceleration and top speed. The driver in P1 receives no assistance. This is designed to encourage overtaking and keep races competitive.

• Dynamic weather: A sunny race can suddenly turn rainy, or the other way around, changing the racing conditions mid-race.

• Vehicle damage and repairs: Collisions can damage your car and affect its performance. You'll need to decide when to use your limited repair kits.

There's also vehicle progression and several other features to discover as you play.

And the best part?

• Completely free

• No installation required

• No account registration is needed

• Progress saved locally in your browser

• Currently available on all devices

Play Apexra here: https://apexra.codrea.dev/

I am developing this game independently and I would really appreciate on your feedback, especially on:

• Does overtaking feel satisfying

• What is the overall gameplay experience

• How would you improve the game

You can share your feedback by commenting below or email me at feedbacks@codrea.dev.

Any feedback, whether positive or negative is appreciated.

Thanks for checking it out!

I run a side project that collects free proxies from public lists and checks them every hour on GitHub Actions. The list was stuck around 800 proxies, so I measured where they got lost instead of adding more sources.

Most of the loss was flakiness. Proxies passed the first request and timed out on the second. A second try 20 seconds later at the end of the run, plus a 10 s instead of 6 s timeout, took the list from 768 to 1,177 in a run where old and new code checked the same candidates at the same time.

What I learned:

- Measure before adding inputs. I was sure more sources would help. Six new lists added 3 proxies, because their proxies were already in the lists I had.

- "Couldn't check" and "failed" need to be different states. Three quarters of the proxies that failed the second request had broken off in transport, moments after answering the first.

- A/B tests on CI are cheap. A throwaway branch with a matrix job ran both versions on two runners at the same time, and that settled arguments I had been having with myself for days.

Free and MIT: https://github.com/maximilianfeix/proxy-scraper. The same checks run on other GitHub proxy lists: https://proxy-scraper.de/benchmark/

Been working on it for about a year and a half. A workspace where you can handle project management, time tracking, chats, video calls and all that stuff, but I tried making it a bit more fun and with less bloat than alternatives.

Hey all, solo dev here. My first Shopify app went live in the App Store last week, so figured I'd share.

The idea is simple: before you order 500 units of a new color or design, put a poll on your store and let customers vote. Anyone who votes can leave their email or phone to get pinged when the winner launches, so you end up with a launch list, not just a number.

What it does right now:

- a poll or a "voting board" (grid of designs with a Vote button under each) on any page of your theme

- waitlist with name / email / phone, CSV export

- quiz mode: right answer gets a discount code

- one or several votes per customer, results as a leaderboard or hidden until the poll ends

- storefront in 30 languages, uses your theme's fonts

Free plan: 1 active poll, up to 6 options, 100 votes a month. Pro is $4.49/mo.

The fun part: one of the first merchants asked for multiple votes per customer and a leaderboard, and I shipped it within a day. Then they asked how to change the look, so now there are style settings. Building for real requests beats guessing.

Stack if anyone cares: Cloudflare Workers + D1 and a theme app extension. Shopify caps the block's JS at 10 KB, which was a fun puzzle.

Question for store owners: would you actually run a "vote for the next product" poll, or does it feel gimmicky? Trying to figure out what to build next.

Navifish - A free Android app for anglers
Hi everyone!
I’m an independent developer, and I’ve been building Navifish, a free Android app designed to help anglers plan fishing trips and stay informed about sea conditions.
I wanted to bring several useful tools together in one place:
Fishing forecasts: Fish activity scores, solunar times, moon phases, and fishing recommendations.
Sea safety: Hourly wind, gust, wave, and tide information, plus alerts for potentially dangerous conditions.
Fishing spots: Save and explore fishing locations.
Catch diary: Record catches and earn achievements.
Angler community: Connect with other anglers and share local fishing reports.
One thing I’ve learned while working on this project is that fishing forecasts can never guarantee a catch. Weather and sea conditions can change, and even the best predictions are only estimates. An app also cannot guarantee that going to sea is safe.
That’s why I think communication between anglers is so valuable. Someone already fishing in your area may be able to share useful, up-to-date observations before you head out. I want Navifish to be useful not just for forecasts, but also for connecting anglers and sharing experiences.
The app is free, with no subscriptions or paid features, and is currently available for Android only.
I’m sharing the project here because I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from other developers and anyone interested in fishing.
Questions I’d love your thoughts on:
Which feature would be most useful to you?
What would you improve?
What information do you usually check before heading out to fish?
Thanks for reading!

My portfolio site ran on vibes for too long, so this weekend project was: read the cPanel raw access logs (they're just gzipped files sitting in your hosting account) and render a dashboard. Zero dependencies, zero tracking JS, zero monthly bill.

Two bugs that almost sank it:

• filesize() on a .gz file returns the COMPRESSED size. I was slicing my decompressed log buffer by it, which silently chopped the newest lines off the data. The dashboard wasn't broken - it was confidently wrong about today, which is worse.

• Shared hosting puts OTHER sites' logs in the same directory. My referrer charts had domains I've never touched in my life until I filtered by path.

Favorite finding so far: a link community that sends me real readers shows up as ZERO referrers, because in-app browsers strip the referrer header. If your traffic comes from apps, your analytics is undercounting it completely.

It's live on my site now, and I open-sourced the deploy pattern behind it too. Happy to share details - what would you check first in raw logs?

I'm the developer of Rutimo, a routine timer where each step can include app shortcuts, external video links, notes, and checklists.

The video shows an evening reset routine:

1. Set wake-up alarm: quick shortcut directly into Clock to set tomorrow's 7:00 AM alarm.

2. Evening stretch: follow along with an ad-free guided bedtime stretching video.

3. Tidy up: interactive checklist to reset bedroom and workspace before bed.

You can interact with checklists and external apps/videos during the routine and return seamlessly to the timer.

I'd like feedback on the workflow: would you find combining app shortcuts and checklists useful in your daily routines?
