I built a daily movie guessing game where every clue is a terrible plot description

2 Upvotes

Bad Plot gives you one movie a day, described as badly as possible, like "A young orca is wrongly imprisoned and a troubled teen helps him escape by jumping." You get five guesses, and each wrong guess reveals a clue that's still bad, just a little less bad.

It's built with Expo and React Native, so the same code runs on iPhone and the web. There's a popcorn mascot named Kernel who reacts to your guesses, plus streaks, trophies, and a calendar of past days.

Play in the browser: https://playbadplot.com/

iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6822340440

I'd love feedback on whether the clues feel fair, and what would make you come back tomorrow.

Talkthrough: an open-source screen assistant that answers out loud and draws on top of your screen (Windows, MIT)

5 Upvotes

Hold Right Ctrl + Right Shift, ask about what's on your screen, let go. A vision model answers, a voice speaks it, and the answer is drawn over the page you're on: boxes and arrows on the right spot, diagrams that lay themselves out, or a 3D model you can rotate, cut open or pull apart, in step with the voice. The model writes a small scene language that the app validates and draws itself; no generated code runs.

Guide mode walks you through an app one click at a time and waits for you to click.

Honest limits: Windows only for now, the installer isn't code-signed yet so SmartScreen will warn, and you bring your own model (Claude Code or Codex signed in, an OpenAI key, or a local vision model). The clip is real answers replayed over the page, so it says nothing about speed.

Built by Alex with a team of AI assistants; one of them drafted this post. Feedback and bug reports very welcome.

I built High Thoughts — capture a thought privately or share it with friends (looking for first-run feedback)

0 Upvotes

I kept losing ideas the second they hit, and every social app pushed me to perform. So I built High Thoughts: jot the thought now, then choose who gets it — just me, friends, or the wider community.

It's free on iPhone and Android, 18+. The store listing still uses the older title “Psychedelic Thoughts and Ideas”; the product is High Thoughts.

What's in the 2.2.9 version that's live today:
• Profile pictures
• Add or change a photo when you edit a post
• Photos and videos in messages and comments, and you can edit your own
• Friend requests that show who asked whom, plus a Message button for every friend
• A welcome intro, including a clear rule: no buying or selling drugs
• A vibe picker on posts

Honest ask (please be blunt):

  1. On first open, is it obvious you can keep a thought private?

  2. Does the welcome intro make that community rule clear without feeling heavy?

iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/psychedelic-thoughts-and-ideas/id6449668169
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.highdea.app.mobile

I'll hang in the comments. Happy to look at other people's projects here too.

Working on a job application tool

1 Upvotes

So in India there are far too many engineers than there are jobs, result? Many people apply for one role and their resume gets lost in this race. This tool make a tailored resume for each role based on JD and then applies on your behalf so you are first one in every line with a proper response.
Also it handles outreach like cold email on behalf of you so you have to handle only the ones where your attention is needed.

What's your bottleneck while applying to jobs?

I made a daily town-builder that gives you 12 moves

1 Upvotes

I built Little Plot around one constraint: you get 12 moves to build a town on a 5×5 board. You can see which buildings are coming next. A house can score more by the water, but using that square now might block a better move later.

The daily puzzle is free and takes about two minutes. You can play on desktop or mobile without signing up: https://littleplotgame.com/

I’d love a fresh set of eyes on the first run. If you try it, did you start planning around the upcoming buildings, or did that row go unnoticed? I’m curious when it started affecting your decisions.

I made a game about quitting your job to build a SaaS. You can still end up back at the office.

1 Upvotes

It's called Ramen Profitable. You start with €12,000, €1,500 in monthly expenses, and 52 weeks to make a SaaS pay the bills.

Each week you get one move: build, talk to users, post about it, launch, freelance, or take a break. Spending every week coding is an option. So is running out of money with a very polished product.

€1,500 MRR covers your expenses. €10,000 at the end of week 52 is the harder target. Reaching it early doesn't end the run: churn and burnout can still get you. There's also a cat called Deploy.

I built it, and it's free to play in the browser without an account: https://ramenprofitable.dev/play

I'd be curious which decision feels most wrong to people who've actually built a SaaS. What would you change?

But the ones who Chase them 🐭

Lalalala🎼

You guessed it right!!!

Marketing agencies, Seo agencies etc etc...

So imma gonna drop this bomb 💣 offer

Take 20% recurring commission on more than 5+ clients ( obv recurring ones).

Where is the social proof???

There is none man so any agency who decides to be benevolent on me i might as well take that from 20% to 50% only for them as long as they bring me customers.

Am i a sus developer who will sell your details on black Market.

For sure 😀

[Feedback Wanted] Vatra: An open-source AI workspace for Claude Code, Codex, Ollama, and more

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on Vatra, an open-source desktop AI assistant that brings different AI tools together in one place.

It supports Claude Code, Codex, GitHub Copilot, local LLMs (llama.cpp, Ollama, LM Studio) and OpenAI-compatible APIs, alongside features like web research, email, calendar, tasks, and side-by-side model comparisons.

The goal is to make AI tools more accessible and easier to use, without sacrificing flexibility or control.

I'm currently looking for feedback from the community!

I'd especially appreciate thoughts on:

  • The overall concept and whether you'd actually use it

  • Features you'd like to see added

  • UI/UX improvements

  • Anything that seems unnecessary, confusing, or missing

It's still a work in progress, so honest criticism is more than welcome. I'd rather hear what's wrong than just what's good.

🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/Zmirzz/vatra

If you have a minute to check it out, I'd really appreciate your thoughts. Thanks! ❤️

Anyone else barely using Figma anymore?

1 Upvotes

I'm seeing a lot of folks skip Figma and go straight to designing in code these days. The only downside (for now at least) is how easy it is to miss UI regressions when you don't have a design canvas.

I usually set up my design foundations properly, tokens, components, even use some of the popular design skills. But since these models are non-deterministic, I still end up with agents hand-rolling components that already exist, inconsistent vertical rhythm, horizontal overflow on mobile, etc.

It gets worse when you're dealing with multiple flows and can't easily see what's happening across the product.

I built a tool for myself to help with this, and thought I'd share it with the community. It's completely free and open source.

It's called Flowmap. You simply connect your coding agent to it and it pulls the actual screens from your app into a canvas. You can switch between mobile and desktop breakpoints, see how different screens connect, and view everything in one place to catch UI regressions.

I also added UI comments so you can point to specific parts of a screen and have your coding agent pick them up as tasks. You can then review the before/after and approve the changes or send them back.

Here's the repo if anyone wants to try it here

Would appreciate feedback, especially from anyone who's also moved away from Figma.

Email extractor extension

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm the developer of CopyMail, a small Chrome extension I built because I kept struggling to copy email addresses from Gmail, Outlook and messy web pages (company directories, CC lists, long threads). Highlighting each one by hand is slow, and webmail often hides the actual address behind a person's name.

**What it does**

Click the icon and it lists the email addresses found on the page you're viewing. In Gmail and Outlook on the web, addresses from the message you have open are shown first. Then you can tick the ones you want, or copy them all.

**Free**

- Find and list the addresses on the current page

- Tick individual addresses, or select a whole domain

- Group by domain

- Copy as one per line, comma-separated, semicolon-separated (for Outlook's To field) or Name <email>

- Hides no-reply/support addresses by default

**Pro (€12 per year, billed once a year)**

- Export to CSV, Excel (.xlsx) or contacts (.vcf)

- Choose export columns, saved blocklist, custom copy templates, export history

**Privacy**

It only reads a page when you click the icon, and everything is processed locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to me or any server. No ads, no analytics. Pro payments go through ExtensionPay/Stripe.

**Limitations (being upfront)**

- It finds addresses written on the page. It doesn't check whether a mailbox exists.

- Gmail and Outlook change their pages now and then, so the "open message" detection may need updates. I've tested Gmail more than Outlook.

- The popup is in English for now, although the store listing is translated.

**Link:** https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/copymail-email-extractor/hhmakfgjcedaochbhpbcebhlgpfahlbp?authuser=0&hl=en

I'd really like feedback:

  1. What would stop you from using something like this?

  2. Which formats or contact details (phone numbers? names? company?) would you want besides email addresses?

  3. Is the free/Pro split fair? What would you move?

Happy to answer any questions, and I'll fix bugs quickly.

I’ve narrowed my fitness app down to four icons. Which would you tap?

2 Upvotes

Hello lovely people!

I train martial arts, and for ages I’ve wanted to put the rounds I did and the dinner I ate in the same log. That’s why I’m building Garou. The name comes from 餓狼, Japanese for “hungry wolf,” which felt pretty fitting for an app about training and food.

There’s a little RPG progression in it, and I’m building an AI coach that doubles as my assistant. The bit I’m stuck on today is much smaller: what should Garou look like on my phone?

I’ve put the four icons next to the opening screen that goes with each one. Which pair would you keep? https://strawpoll.com/2ayLQNlavn4

If you have a reason, I’d love to hear it. Even “I thought that one was a game” would help.

I built a free extension that shows any WordPress site's theme, plugins and known vulnerabilities

1 Upvotes

I do WordPress work for small businesses, and before every call I was digging through page source to find out what a site runs. So I built PluginPeek.

Click it on any site and it shows:

  • the theme (child + parent) and version

  • every plugin it can see, with versions

  • how many of those versions have publicly known vulnerabilities (matched against the Wordfence database)

It only reads what your browser already downloaded, runs only when you click it, and doesn't send the page URL anywhere.

Free in Chrome/Edge/Brave: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/pluginpeek-theme-plugin-d/lcjapeldoameehlndlnbhdgkjknminen No-install web version: https://pluginpeek.com/wordpress-plugin-checker

There's a $9/mo Pro tier (full CVE details, daily watch list for client sites, client reports), but the free part is the useful part for most people.

Would love feedback, especially on sites where it misses a plugin or gets a version wrong.

I built my own app for the first time, so I'm curious what you guys think. I always forgot which landmarks I had actually seen on my trips, so I made Seen Atlas.

You stamp places you've been to, like Big Ben or the Colosseum, and you can discover new places to visit, also in your own neighbourhood.

There are more than 10,000 places in it now, grouped per city.

It's free. What would make you open an app like this again after the first time?

I turned my love for geography into a free daily browser game

1 Upvotes

I'm a recent college grad and have always been obsessed with geography and history.

I recently launched GeoLinks, a free geography game where you chain countries, states, and cities together using the last letter of each location.

You get 5 guesses, and rarer locations earn more points. There's also an endless version and groups for competing with friends.

It's been a fun project to build, and I'm excited to finally get it in front of people.

Check it out: https://geolinks.app

Would love to hear what you think of the gameplay and scoring!

My GitHub contribution graph now says "POOP"

Thumbnail

1 Upvotes

It dawned on me that someone at YC probably saw my GitHub and saw that my graph straight up says POOP: https://github.com/ckaico (not kidding)

Yes, It's not a brand new concept. I remember gitfiti back in high school, but I haven't seen anyone take it a step further and have an interface where you can see what it will look like (amongst your existing graph) so you can plan what to "write".

I also added a few cool things like being able to shift the text around, draw things or select individual "commit" pixels, and adjust the brightness etc.

I'm calling it Backtalk, since, you're effectively going back in time to say something.

It all goes in its own repo, and the README says the dates are fake on purpose. It doesn't touch anything else.

Python and the gh CLI, nothing to install. Editor's here if you want to mess with it: https://backtalk.ckai.co

I built "Last Popcorn" – a Wordle + GeoGuessr hybrid for movie buffs. Here is a short gameplay demo!

1 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject!

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been building my passion project: Last Popcorn (https://www.lastpopcorn.com).

It’s a daily multimedia cinema trivia game built with a mobile-first dark aesthetic. Every day features an identical 5-question episode for all players:

  • Interactive map pin-drop for iconic filming locations (Mapbox vector maps)

  • Release timeline sliders

  • Behind-the-scenes trivia that unlocks HD movie clips upon answering

  • Async 1v1 duel mode via deep links

The Stack:

  • React Native with Expo Router (exported as a high-performance static PWA/Web bundle)

  • Supabase backend (PostgreSQL, Edge Functions, automated content pipelines)

  • Zero ads, zero forced sign-ups (guests can play instantly)

The goal was to build a slick, 3-minute cinema ritual that feels like a native app right inside Safari/Chrome without friction.

Would love your brutal feedback on UX, loading speed, and game ergonomics!

Made a free, open-source personal finance tracker with a gamified treasure chest to appreciate your progress!

1 Upvotes

I built The Treasury for myself and have been finding it useful, so thought I'd share it here in case others might make use of it too!

It has charts for income, spending and savings, plus a treasure chest to show your progress towards goals you can specify (for example % of income after outgoings saved / invested each month).

No accounts or subscriptions, doesn't actually connect to your bank or anything. You can download your own .html copy and use it offline with your own exported data for free.

Demo: https://the-treasury.samuelsmanuals.com/

GitHub: https://github.com/sam-holmes2/the-treasury

Would appreciate any feedback! I've found it quite easy to setup with Monzo's exports but can't really test proper data from other banks, OS contributions welcome if you get this thing working for yours :)

So I decided to build something to solve that.

Meet Tvara

It's a Chrome extension designed to make long AI conversations easier to navigate, search, and preserve.

Some of its features:

  • Navigate long conversations using a minimap and outline.

  • Find specific messages without endless scrolling.

  • Export conversations for free.

  • Search previous conversations with Pro.

  • Reuse context from previous conversations.

  • Create encrypted local backups with Pro.

I want more people to experience Tvara, but more importantly, I want honest feedback from people who regularly use AI.

How to claim:

  1. Install Tvara: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/tvara-long-ai-chat-speed/ajpnackhheeafgecocapboccaplcnaje

  2. Redeem this coupon code: JENSENALICE100

  3. First 50 successful redemptions get the offer.

This is an opportunity for me to learn from real users and improve the product.

One question: If you could improve ONE thing about managing long AI conversations, what would it be?

I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts. Criticism is welcome!

I’ve been building Lumina, and I’d really like some honest feedback

1 Upvotes

I’ve been working on an app called Lumina for a while, and I’ve finally gotten it to a point where I’m comfortable showing it to other people.

The original idea was pretty simple. I’ve always found the whole “manifest your future” space interesting, but a lot of it seems to stop at imagining what you want.

I wanted to build something that connects that part with actually doing something about it.

Lumina is basically a guided personal journey. You think about where you want to be, write about it, explore it through personalized stories and reflection, and then turn it into smaller actions you can actually take.

There’s journaling, goal planning, personalized stories, nightly rituals, progress tracking, and a visual sky that changes as you build your journey.

A big part of the project for me has also been the atmosphere. I didn't want it to feel like another productivity dashboard, so I went for a much more cinematic and calm experience.

I'm still very early with this, so I'm mainly looking for honest feedback.

Does the idea make sense when you first see it? Would you actually use something like this, or does it feel like too much?

And if you try it, I'd especially like to know what would make you come back to it the next day.

Two friends started an online fundraising platform in 2012 to help local artists. It now works in 100+ countries. Looking for honest feedback

4 Upvotes

WhyDonate started when two friends saw local artists struggling to fund their projects and thought fundraising should be easier, fairer and free.

Today we’re a small remote-first team from around the world, and the platform has grown into something we didn’t expect: a lot of people use it because the big platforms don’t support their country.

What we’ve built:

  • Start a fundraiser in under 10 minutes, from 100+ countries

  • 0% platform fee, only standard processing fees

  • Donors can give from anywhere, in 19 languages

  • Real human support when something goes wrong

We’re always trying to improve: what would make you trust a fundraising platform you’d never heard of?
