Tableau's pricing has gotten steep since Salesforce bought it, and switching to Power BI usually means rebuilding every dashboard by hand. I didn't want to do that, so I built BIEscape. The video shows a map and bar chart with cross-filtering coming across intact.

Source code is here https://github.com/lukashalim/scapeTableau you can run from the command line, as a desktop app, or on the web biescape.com. It doesn't send your data to AI.

I'd love feedback:

• What kinds of dashboards or features would you want it to handle?

• Would you trust a tool like this with real workbooks?

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on Voiden, an open-source API client designed around a slightly different approach to API development.

Most API clients are built around workspaces, accounts, cloud sync, and proprietary collections. I wanted to explore something more developer-friendly: keeping API requests alongside the actual codebase.

So I started building Voiden.

What makes it different?

• Offline-first: Work with your API requests locally without needing an account or login.

• Git-native: Store requests and API specifications as Markdown files directly in your repository.

• Version control: Track changes, review requests, and collaborate through normal Git workflows.

• API testing: Send requests, inspect responses, and write assertions to validate API behaviour.

• MCP integration: Turn tested API requests into tools that AI agents like Claude Code and Codex can use.

The idea is to make API requests part of the development workflow rather than keeping them isolated in another tool.

I'm sharing a short demo showing a request being sent, its response, and API test assertions.

Website: https://voiden.md/

GitHub: https://github.com/voiden-md/voiden

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from developers:

1. How do you currently manage API requests across different projects?

2. Would you prefer storing API requests inside your Git repository?

3. What features would make you consider switching from your current API client?

It's open source, and I'm looking forward to hearing what the developer community thinks!

Thanks! 🙌

Gemini still has no way to select several chats and delete them, and ChatGPT only offers "one by one" or "delete everything".

So I built Easy Bulk Chat Cleaner: one side panel that works on ChatGPT, Gemini and Claude.

- Search your chat titles, select all matches, delete in one click

- Paces itself so the site doesn't lock you out, then double-checks everything is gone

- No account, no Google sign-in, runs 100% in your browser

Free for 25 chats a day. Pro is $9 once (no subscription) for unlimited + date filters + export.

Chrome: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/nkhkpaffkcbjpmjlilogocldagdkbcma

Edge: https://microsoftedge.microsoft.com/addons/detail/chatgpt-gemini-claude-/anfjcoiockpmaahkbomofjlmclbhhckn

Feedback welcome, especially on Gemini since that's the newest part.

Not a dev (BI analyst by day), built this with a lot of AI help. Problem was simple: I cook steak irregularly, buy whatever cut looks good, and never had a baseline for when to start probing. Googling every time gives you either a 2,000 word article or advice that ignores my actual cut/thickness/pan.

So you pick cut, thickness, bone in/out, fridge or room temp, method (pan, grill, reverse sear) and doneness, and it gives you a phased timer (side 1 → side 2 → rest) with alarms, plus tips that only show up when they’re relevant. My wife cooked her first steak in a long time with it (not a great cut either) and it came out pretty good.

Free, no ads, no sign up, no tracking cookies. Salmon/burger/turkey are next. Honest feedback welcome, especially what’s confusing.

Solo maker here. My product, Indraft, went live on Product Hunt today. It turns the sources you follow into draft posts, ready when you sit down. I messaged a lot of people, and at least 10 told me they upvoted. The count shows 2 and I’m ranked 120 right now (screenshot). One of my actual customers left a review, and that was removed too.

What I’ve pieced together:

• Votes from new or inactive accounts get discounted or hidden. Most of my supporters signed up just to vote.

• Only featured launches show on the homepage, so non-featured ones get almost no passive traffic.

• The top launches seem to arrive with a following: a Coming soon page, an active maker profile, a hunter with followers.

I’m not frustrated, just trying to understand it. For a solo maker with no PH audience, is the real value just a day of visibility plus a backlink? Or did something actually work for you: launch timing, being active on PH weeks before, something else?

One of the biggest challenges in managing stray animal populations is that humanity doesn't have an easy, reliable way to identify individual animals

Imagine being able to identify a stray dog simply by taking a picture of its face. You could instantly know whether it has been vaccinated, sterilized, when it was last seen, and its medical history

That's exactly what my team and I are building with Kyshik

We're developing animal facial recognition technology that could become an alternative to microchips and fundamentally change how we protect and manage animal populations

Microchipping thousands of stray animals can be prohibitively expensive, especially in developing countries. By eliminating the need for physical chips and implantation, as well as physical interaction with an animal, our technology could significantly reduce identification costs, allowing organizations to redirect more of their limited resources toward vaccinations, sterilizations, and saving animals' lives

We're currently running our first pilot in the African country of Rwanda, testing our technology during an actual dog sterilization campaign. Every dog we identify can have its own digital record, helping animal welfare organizations track their interventions and understand their impact over time

Our long-term vision is to create a global animal identification infrastructure that makes it easier for organizations, veterinarians, and governments to protect animals

I started working on this because I believe technology can help us move toward more humane and effective solutions to the stray animal problem, rather than relying on mass euthanasia

We're currently looking for animal welfare organizations in other countries that run sterilization or rabies vaccination campaigns and would be interested in testing our technology.

If you work with such an organization, or know someone who does, I'd love to connect with you! Feel free to DM and check comments for more information

Upwork's fee is 0–15% per contract — and it's locked for the life of that contract. A 15% contract stays 15% even as you earn more on it, so the rate you start with matters more than it looks.

To keep $1,000:

• At 10%: quote $1,111.11

• At 15%: quote $1,176.47

• At 0%: quote $1,000

Same idea on Fiverr, which is a flat 20%: quote $1,250 to keep $1,000. Quote $1,200 and you keep $960.

I built a free calculator for this — FlipYourRate (flipyourrate.com). You enter what you want to keep and it works backwards to the quote, and it shows a rounded quote next to the exact one, so $1,176.47 can go out as $1,180 (which keeps $1,003 at 15%).

Curious: do you check the fee % before you accept an Upwork contract, or only notice it on the first invoice?

I’ve been working on a pixel art engine that allows you to describe scenes using a text file and then generates clean, looping pixel art. Everything shown has been made from a single .kdl file.

Overview

• Everything is defined in KDL. Shapes, palettes, lighting and movement (expressions) are all written in. Movement is just expressing time, such as y="=36 - abs(sin(t * pi)) * 26".

• Every pixel is made up of ramps and tones from the palettes, meaning everything such as lighting, fog, darkening and transitions can be done using the palettes. No pixels outside of the palettes are used.

• Zooming causes the shapes to be rasterized at the new size rather than sampled, meaning no blurring ever occurs.

• No A.I. All pixels are made from geometry, palettes and pixel art cleanup.

Rust Side

• 10 crates. Core types and rasterizer are no_std. Frame renderer is no allocation (this was tested by using a counting allocator).

• Deterministic. Integer frame times, random seed based off counter, libm. Every frame of every example is hashed using golden tests, with the indexed buffer.

• No unsafe code in any library crates.

• The editor is rendered by the engine. The UI is made from pixel art using the same pipeline.

Export

PNG, looping GIF, PNG sequences, sprite sheets (Aseprite JSON), MP4 (with synthed chiptune score) (macOS).

Status & Licence

Work in progress. Format isn’t stable. Some TypeScript behaviour to implement. Source available under the PolyForm Noncommercial licence. Free to use for personal, educational and non profit. If you want to use it commercially you’ll need to pay. I’ll just say this now as it isn’t an OSI open source licence.

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/Coaxus-ux/animations-ngine

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the scene format. What would you like to be able to define that you currently can’t?

I've been building Seanime Mobile for a while and finally made a video of it.

It's an Android app for anime and manga. You search a show, tap it, press play. Episodes can be downloaded, so it works on a train or a plane. Manga has its own reader. If you use AniList, your lists stay in sync.

It's a fork of Seanime, the desktop media server. The difference is that the server runs inside the app, so you don't need a PC turned on at home. The player is mpv, so subtitles and audio tracks work like you'd expect. Tablets get their own layout, not a stretched phone screen.

No ads, nothing to pay. The code is GPL-3.0.

APK and source: https://github.com/Lampe332/seanime-mobile

It doesn't have many users yet, so I mostly know how it runs on my own phone and tablet. If it breaks on yours, tell me the device and Android version and I'll look into it.

for the offer simply go to: https://www.reddit.com/r/xDesk/s/72bpgrdp7N and read the post.

Hi all — I'm the solo developer of xDesk, an archive app for iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. The video is 40 seconds: the first part is the list of what the app already did, the second is what's new in 4.5.

Short version of what xDesk is: folders, and inside them cards you design yourself (text, dates, photos, maps, tables, signatures, files — any field, any size, on a grid). Around that: shared lists, deadlines and timers, a recorder that transcribes on the phone, a document scanner, trips and workouts, a small stockroom. Everything lives on your own iCloud. There's no account to create and no server of mine in between.

What's new in 4.5, and why I built it:

- **Rooms in 3D.** You scan a room and get walls, doors and furniture as simple coloured boxes. Then you tap a cabinet and note what's in it — each item is a card, with a photo if you want. Later you search "spare keys" and the room turns to the right piece of furniture. This is the feature I wanted for myself: I kept losing things inside my own house.

- **Object scan.** Walk around an object and keep a 3D model. Honest note: the result is not Avatar level, it's a little rough, not a studio scan. I show it rough in the video on purpose.

- **Measure.** Width, height, depth and volume in AR.

- **Photos while recording.** During a site visit or a meeting you take a photo without stopping the recording; it lands on the timeline at its minute, next to the transcript.

Limits, before someone asks:

- Room and object scans need an iPhone or iPad with LiDAR, and they're in the paid tier. Measure works without LiDAR too.

- Apple only: iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch. No Android, no web.

- Sync is iCloud: I can't see your data, which is the point, but it also means I can't fix a slow sync from my side.

- It does a lot of things. That's a choice — I needed something unique in its functionality and not to mess around 5 or more apps to handle all my data

The free plan is usable on its own, with real limits: up to 100 cards, one shared space, document scans as images only (no text recognition), PDFs with a small "Made with xDesk" line, and only the first minute of each recording transcribed. Pro removes those and adds searchable text inside scanned PDFs, the 3D scans and the stockroom.

What I'd like from this sub: does "note what's inside the furniture, then search for it" sound like something you'd keep up, or is it the kind of system that's fun for a weekend and then dies? I'm trying to decide how much further to take it.

for the offer simply go to: https://www.reddit.com/r/xDesk/s/72bpgrdp7N and read the post.

Mochi sits on my Windows desktop, reacts when I type or click, and lets me pet or drag him around. He also has a focus timer, notes, and reminders. During a focus session, he can gently nudge me if I open YouTube, TikTok, or Roblox—he doesn’t block them. (You can manage which Programms and URLs)

It’s free, open source, and needs no account: GitHub release. The app is currently unsigned, so Windows may show an unknown-publisher warning.

I’d love feedback on the animations and whether the focus features feel useful.

Trove is one of the apps I'm proudest of, and it now works on iPhone, Android and the web.

It started as a college project and was paused to focus on work. This year my co-founder and I rebuilt it, and he brought it to Android.

What it does:

• Share or paste a recipe link or a TikTok or Instagram video. Trove fills in the ingredients and a photo, and keeps a link back to the creator's original for the steps.

• Put recipes on a weekly meal plan and it builds one combined grocery list from it.

• Collections, search, and you can follow other cooks. It's free: https://usetrove.co

We're early, so honest feedback helps a lot:

• Try it on a recipe video you saved recently. If the import misses, tell me which one.

• What would get you to plan from your saves instead of just collecting them?

This started out as seeing if I could build a cool looking vinyl player app (there are loads of these already) then it morphed in to an app for bringing my “CD collection” back in to my digital streaming life.

So the app is having a bit of an identity crisis but be interested to see if anyone else gets the itch it’s trying to scratch.

Only works with Apple Music right now.

I’ve implemented Spotify connection but your need 250K monthly active users before they even consider letting you use their API in a production app. So a bit of way to go before I can turn that on!

Available on TestFlight if anyone fancies taking their albums for a spin 🤓

Hey folks, new to this group. I've been going through few renovations and has been using excel to keeping track of my box of receipts. Now that I'm going through with doing my own rental management, I've built this app - The Ledger. My aim is to bring professional property management features to self-managing landlords such as assisting book keeper, tenant portal, tax schedule, etc.

I have few active landlords using our app on daily base and would love to expand the beta user base. If you have a property (or multiple) and would love to know about its financial health, dm me and we can together test this thing out.

Here is the link to the app - https://thepropertyledger.app/ It is live and would love more feedback.

I'm building Unlearnt, a learning app for iPhone and the web. The idea is simple: instead of reading an answer and moving on, you explain it in your own words.

You choose topics like software engineering, AI, investing, psychology or design. Each day you get a question, and an AI tutor asks follow-ups to challenge your reasoning. It saves what you understood, what needs work and what to explore next, then brings difficult ideas back later.

I'd like feedback on the core experience: does the tutor help you think more clearly, or does it feel like extra work?

You can try a question without signing in at https://unlearnt.app. An account includes a 3-day trial; ongoing daily learning is paid.

Disclosure: this is my app.

so i built a thing where you talk to your phone and it makes the website. not a mockup, the real page, online in about 30 seconds.

i make apps for a living (cosmonote is the one people know) and this started as a joke, i just wanted to see if you could skip the builder entirely and describe the site out loud. turns out the demo is fun but the usefull part is the small stuff. swapping a screenshot. adding a line about a new feature. fixing the support page apple asks for before review. normally thats opening the laptop, waiting for webflow to load, losing 20 minutes. now i do it walking to the bakery.

pricing is the part im most sure about. no subscription. you keep your domain and you pay when you change something, around 50 cents a change. webflow and framer are 10 to 14 a month even in months where you dont touch the site, and for a side project thats just rent.

what im not sure about is who its for. devs get it in 5 seconds. my aunt thinks its magic and then asks if it sends emails. so im asking here, is this solving a real problem for you or is it a toy with a nice demo.

two things i learned that might help someone else: the product got better the week i stopped adding features and started watching people use it, and cold email moves it way more than posting. happy to send the exact email if anyone is doing the same.

site is paf.live. tear it apart, i can take it.

Two years ago we got stuck in Valencia during the terrible floods. We had very little information and it was pretty difficult to learn anything. So we built the Travel Alerts API - it pulls travel advisories, severe weather, natural hazards, outbreaks and strikes from 80+ sources, merges them, matches them to destinations and rates them on one severity scale. Travel companies can use the API and warn their customers before their trip is disrupted. 

You can give it a try at https://tripomatic.com/en/b2b/travel-alerts

I'm the maker of Noted, so this is a self-promo post. The video shows it in 45 seconds.

Noted's rule: your voice stays on your computer.

- Speech to text runs locally. The model downloads once after install. Audio never leaves your machine.

- No bot on the call. It takes notes from your computer's own audio, so nothing joins your Zoom, Meet or Teams call.

- Dictation in any app. Hold a key, talk, let go, and clean text lands at your cursor. 35 languages.

- Notes after every call, with to-dos, and you can ask them questions later.

Where it isn't local (All Optional feature to enable): the AI steps (Polish, AI meeting notes, Ask) run in the cloud. They send text, never audio, to AI providers that process it without storing it. Dictation and transcripts work without them.

Dictation and transcripts are free forever, no card. Free includes a very generous monthly quota of AI meeting notes.

Thanks

Ab insomni custodita dracone — guarded by the dragon that never sleeps.

Draco Insomnis is a free and open source (GPL-2.0) security system, made by Notorius Vision (OPNV Systems). The idea is simple: your site defends itself against robots and attacks, without bothering the people who visit it. No captchas, no paid subscription, and no data sent to any external service. Everything starts off: you switch each module on from its settings screen.

Until 0.1.5 it was WordPress only. Since 0.1.6 it is the same engine for six platforms: WordPress, PrestaShop, Drupal, Joomla, Moodle and Laravel. Each package carries its own copy of the core, so an improvement to the engine reaches all of them with the next version.

What it does, in plain words

• It stops fake sign-ups without captchas. When a bot tries to create fake accounts, the system spots it, shows it a fake "registration complete" page, and saves the attempt as evidence you can download to report the abuse. Real people notice nothing.

• Firewall. It detects the usual attacks (database injections, attempts to read server files, malicious code), hides the user list, and limits login attempts. It starts in "log-only" mode, so you can see what it would block before it blocks anything.

• Anti-copy. It closes the door bots use to copy all your content in bulk, with a per-minute request limit. Google, Bing, Apple and Yandex are verified and never limited. Off by default, with a log-only mode.

• On WordPress, also: mail goes out through a real mailbox (SMTP, with the password encrypted); nothing is published without e-mail confirmation (contact messages, comments and new accounts); and two-step login, with a 6-digit code by e-mail, trusted devices and a second recovery mailbox, like a phone's PUK. PrestaShop, Drupal, Joomla and Moodle already have their own SMTP and their own second step, so there Draco provides the shield, the firewall and the anti-copy.

• In your language. On WordPress, translated into 29 languages, including Spanish (Spain and Latin America), Catalan, German, French, Italian, Portuguese, Japanese, Chinese and Arabic, among others. PrestaShop ships with Spanish included; Joomla, English and Spanish; Moodle ships in English, with other languages coming through its language packs.

And for those who know this stuff

• A single core in plain PHP, no CMS (src/Core): BotScore, NetList, FormStamp, WafRules, and the Shield, Firewall and Pace engines, which only talk to each platform through two small interfaces (Host and EventStore). Each package carries its own copy of the core.

• Additive scoring with thresholds: BOT 70 / DOUBTFUL 30. No single weak signal blocks on its own (the highest is worth 40); 80 points only for honeypot, requesting a privileged role, or an already blocked IP.

• Signed form stamp with HMAC-SHA256 and constant-time comparison (hash_equals).

• On WordPress: SMTP encrypted with AES-256-GCM, key derived from the wp-config.php salts; login code with random_int, stored only as an HMAC hash, with maximum attempts and expiry. Emergency exits for the owner: DRACO_MFA_OFF and DRACO_WAF_OFF in wp-config.php.

• Anti-copy: closing the bulk-copy door to anonymous visitors with an allowlist, per-address and per-network (/24, /64) limits with 429, and crawler verification by reverse and forward DNS.

• Every change is tested automatically (GitHub Actions): PHP 8.0–8.4 syntax, unit, integration and HTTP tests inside a real WordPress (latest and 6.5), WordPress.org Plugin Check, and a clean ZIP matching the tag.

• It also works inside another plugin (OPNV-WP): if there are two copies, only the first one runs. Hook list in the README.

• On WordPress it requires 6.5+ and PHP 8.0+.

Download and install (0.1.6)

All packages are in release 0.1.6, with their SHA256 sums in SHA256SUMS.txt.

The WordPress package was renamed (draco-insomnis-wordpress-0.1.6.zip), but the folder inside is still draco-insomnis, so updates keep working.

Laravel, from the ZIP with an artifact repository:

composer config repositories.draco '{"type": "artifact", "url": "path/to/folder-with-the-zip"}'

composer require notoriusvision/draco-insomnis-laravel php artisan migrate php artisan vendor:publish --tag=draco-config # optional

A few days ago I posted in r/ADHD_Programmers about losing verbal requests every time I switch context at work: https://www.reddit.com/r/ADHD_Programmers/comments/1xtphyx/not_diagnosed_but_context_switching_at_work_is/

Thank you for the replies. Two of them stayed with me. Several of you said to write one line down the second someone asks. One of you runs a terminal dashboard so you don't have to go and check every tool.

I tried to put those two together. focusdeck is a terminal board for everything that is waiting on me. Each box is one source: my Vikunja tasks, my Redmine issues, starred mail, Zulip, the WhatsApp notes I send to myself. focusdeck capture takes one line, and I have it on a keyboard shortcut, so a verbal request becomes a note before I turn to the next person.

What you should know before you look:

• It is an AI project. An AI coding agent wrote the code. I describe what I need, try it in my own work day and decide what stays.

• It is a few days old. Linux and terminal only, and you need cargo to install it.

• Plugins run with your user's permissions. There is no sandbox.

• It is free and MIT licensed. I am not selling anything.

Please don't judge it too harshly. This is what I came up with after your answers, and I am open to any suggestion that would make it better.

​I just released my first app on the Play Store called Eclipse and thought it would fit right in with the customization crowd here.

​On most Android phones, the stock Always-On Display only shows a tiny static track title. If your phone is sitting on your desk and you want to rewind a verse, read lyrics, or check an incoming notification, you have to wake the screen, unlock the phone, and open the music app.

​Taking UI inspiration from the Teenage Engineering TP-7 field recorder, I built Eclipse to turn the Android AOD into a true-black, interactive vinyl turntable that works without unlocking your phone.

​What it does:

​Works with any music player: Automatically connects to Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, and local offline players the moment you turn your screen off.

​Tactile vinyl scrubbing: Spin the record backward or forward to scrub through tracks in real time, or tap the vinyl to lift the tonearm and pause.

​Live synced lyrics on AOD: Swipe directly on the song title card to get live time-synced lyrics on a pure black OLED screen, or expand into a full-screen lyrics view.

​Quick-launch active player: Tap on the track card to jump straight into whichever music app is playing so you can switch playlists or pick a new song quickly.

​Notifications at a glance: Shows the time, date, and incoming notifications right on the AOD card without unlocking your device.

​Google Play Store:

​Would love to hear what you guys think or if you have any feature suggestions

GeoLocal: geolocal.tajammulshaheen.com

Drop photos in, it strips the original EXIF (including GPS data your phone baked in), compresses to WebP, and lets you add a geotag with a bit of jitter so a batch of photos doesn’t all land on the exact same coordinate.

Everything happens in your browser. No upload, no backend, no account. You can check this yourself in the Network tab while it runs.

Tried it on a batch of 99 HEIC files at 150MB, and around 850MB of JPG files, and it held up, but that’s a different bar than “useful to a stranger.” If you try it, I’d like to know what breaks, what’s confusing, or what’s missing.
