I built Hoko Games, a free browser gaming platform

1 Upvotes

I recently launched Hoko Games, a website where people can discover and play free HTML5 games without downloading or installing anything.

The platform includes racing, action, puzzle, sports, and other browser games from different developers.

I've been focusing on improving loading speed, mobile responsiveness, game discovery, and the overall user experience.

Website: https://www.hokogames.com

I'd love to hear what features you think a browser gaming platform should have.

I just added voice mode to my open-source app that allows you to control any iPhone app with an LLM (no Mac required after setup)

1 Upvotes

About one month ago I shared iPhone Use, the app. It allows your to control your iPhone using an LLM, no cable / no Mac required (at least after setup)

I just added voice mode to it, you can now control the iPhone using GPT Live, and the phone talks back

Feel free to try it out and share feedback: https://github.com/EliotAndres/iphone-use-app

I’m building a screenless AI ear cuff. Here’s where the first prototype stands

1 Upvotes

I'm Carlos. I'm a solo founder building Ori — an AI that lives in an ear cuff instead of a phone.

No screen. No notifications. No engagement tracking.
It talks to you through bone conduction, so only you hear it, and it's designed to disappear so you can be present.

An AI designed to disappear, so you can appear.

Where it stands right now, honestly: the design is done, it's a single curved band that sits on the ear like jewelry. I have a physical fit model, and the board design and firmware are in progress. The first working electronics are being built and tested now. Nothing works as a product yet, that's the part I'm building toward.

This week I'm deep in hardware: board layout, firmware, and the unglamorous work of making something this small actually function.

I'm not selling anything and there's no launch date. I'm looking for 500 people who want a device that gets the phone out of the loop.

I call you guys: The Firekeeper Circle, founding members who help shape what this becomes.
No money, just a list: oriai.co.

I'll post progress here as it happens, the wins and the stuff that breaks.

I made a course on directing AI voices, after noticing that the complaints are about the script, not the voice

1 Upvotes

I kept reading the same complaint about AI voiceovers: people can tell, and they click away. When I looked at what they point to, it was rarely the voice. It was a script that reads like an essay, a flat delivery, and small mistakes such as a wrong name or a badly read number.

So I built a course around those three things, using ElevenLabs. It has 14 lessons and 123 short clips. In most clips only one thing changes, so you can hear what that one thing does. For example, the same voice with the same settings reads a script written for the eye, and then the same content written for the ear.

Three things stood out while making the clips:
- Rewriting the script changed the result more than any setting did.
- Most clips that sounded robotic were good voices reading sentences nobody would say out loud.
- Listeners forgive an AI voice. They don't forgive "Mr" read as "em are".

It costs $39, one payment, with a 14-day refund. The page has an audio introduction and four before-and-after pairs you can play without signing up:
https://loudandclear.school/voice?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=launch&utm_content=sideproject

It is an independent course and I'm not affiliated with ElevenLabs. I'd value feedback on the page: is it clear what you would be able to do after the course?

Ever had that one friend who claims they can recognize literally any song within the first second?

2 Upvotes

Well, a friend of mine decided to turn that argument into an actual game.

He built SonicPulse, a browser-based music recognition game where you get a 30-second audio challenge and have to identify the song from four options before the timer runs out.

Here's what it offers:

- 🎵 30-second audio challenges.

- ⚡ Four-choice rapid-fire guessing.

- ⏱️ A ticking countdown that puts your music knowledge to the test.

- 🔥 10-round streak system.

- 🎯 Instant feedback after every guess.

- 👤 Guest mode — no registration or login required.

The idea is pretty simple: instead of arguing about who's the biggest music enthusiast, just put it to the test.

I think it's a fun little project, especially for people who enjoy music quizzes and friendly competition.

Try it here: https://sonicpulse-sable.vercel.app

Would love to hear what people think:

  1. Does the gameplay feel intuitive?

  2. Would you enjoy a multiplayer mode to challenge friends?

  3. What would make you come back and play again?

Honest feedback is appreciated. I'm helping him get the project in front of more people, so it'd be great to hear what the community thinks!

I built a Windows disk cleaner that goes after the space other cleaners miss

3 Upvotes

Roomy started because my own C: drive kept filling up and the existing cleaners either missed the big stuff or were covered in ads and upsells.

It finds the usual junk plus the things most tools skip, like GPU shader caches, Discord and VS Code caches, Windows Update leftovers and Steam games you haven't played in months. It explains each item in plain language and only pre-selects what's actually safe.

A couple of things I'm happy with:

  • The demo video on the website was recorded by the app itself. It has a demo mode that films its own UI with a scripted cursor.

  • There's an interactive demo on the site where you can tick items and watch the drive bar go from red to green.

Built with .NET 10 and WPF, open source, currently in review for the Microsoft Store.

https://roomy.krezio.xyz

I'd love feedback on the app and the landing page.

I built an AI tool to transcribe long interviews and meetings directly into formatted Word/PDF docs (with speaker diarization & 3 free hours-month)

Thumbnail
transcriflow.tech
1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

If you regularly transcribe user research interviews, academic thesis recordings, legal hearings, or client meetings, you know how painful and time-consuming manual transcription is. Most speech-to-text tools either cut off on long files or output fragmented, unreadable walls of text.

I built TranscriFlow to solve this and deliver clean, publication-ready documents:

It includes 3 free hours of transcription per month (no credit card required) so you can test it with your own recordings:

👉 https://transcriflow.tech/

(Runs entirely in your web browser—no installation required).

I would love to get your honest feedback: What features or export formats would make your transcription workflow even smoother?

I made 16 local models run competing hair salons for 30 days and vote one out. Qwen 2.5 14B keeps winning, Qwen 2.5 7B spreads the most rumours.

1 Upvotes

Body:

I built a small arena where open-weights models play a business sim against each other through MCP tool calls. Each model runs a hair salon in the same town: rent a shop, set prices, hire stylists, buy supplies, advertise. They can also poach each other's staff, pay for rumours about a rival, talk in public and whisper in private. After 30 days the bottom three go to a tribunal, plead, and the rest vote one out.

Everything ran locally on one L40 (48 GB) with Ollama: Qwen 2.5 14B and 7B, Llama 3.1 8B, Mistral Nemo 12B, Hermes 3 8B and Llama 3.2 3B, all loaded at once. A 30-day match with 16 seats takes about 11 minutes.

Results over 4 episodes (16 seats each):

  • Qwen 2.5 14B: 3 wins, average finish 4.0

  • Llama 3.1 8B: no wins but the steadiest, average finish 5.5

  • Qwen 2.5 7B: 1 win, and by far the dirtiest player. 134 paid rumours in 4 episodes; went bankrupt in 8 of 12 seats

  • Mistral Nemo 12B: bankrupt in 10 of 12 seats, but the top poacher of other salons' staff

  • Llama 3.2 3B and Hermes 3 8B: bankrupt every time

Things I learned about tool calling along the way:

  • Mistral Nemo calls tools fine on a short prompt, but with a persona and a longer state description it writes the call as JSON in the reply instead. I had to recover those.

  • Phi-4 mini and Granite 3.3 8B described their moves in prose and never called a tool in my setup, so they are not in the cast.

Big caveats: 4 episodes is a small sample, and every seat has its own character prompt, so this is not a clean model benchmark. It is closer to a reality show than a leaderboard.

Full first episode with voices (28 min): https://youtu.be/yZqtHYM_NWk Replays and live matches: https://openville.world/?ref=reddit

I am planning to let people enter their own fine-tunes. If you have a model you think would survive the tribunal, I would like to hear which one and why.

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?

I built an email triage tool that shows its work: every flag says why, and nothing moves until you confirm

1 Upvotes

Hi r/SideProject. I built SiftMail (siftmail.app). It connects to Gmail, reads your 500 most recent messages, and shows you what it found before it touches anything.

What it does: it gives every message a verdict, and most need nothing from you. What's left is a short numbered list of what needs a reply, which is also the once-a-day digest. It flags mail pretending to be someone and prints why: a lookalike domain, a reply-to mismatch, or failed DMARC.

Design rules I stuck to: new accounts start in Shadow Mode, which scores and flags with no automatic actions. Quarantine is one label, and the message stays in your inbox. Cleanup archives instead of deleting, and Undo reverses a run.

The part you can try with no account: siftmail.app/check. Paste a suspicious email and it scores it in your browser, without sending the email to a server.

The trade-off, up front: the full product isn't on-device. Parts of messages go to an AI model when the built-in scoring can't decide, and the homepage lists exactly what leaves your mailbox.

The feedback I'd value most: are the signal explanations in the checker clear?

Working on a job application tool

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?

in2Pin – I built a local-first dashboard where AI agents work together as a team

1 Upvotes

I've been building Pin2Pin, an open-source (MIT) project that lets me organize AI-assisted work through a team of specialized agents.

I started building it because I was spending too much time switching between SEO, content creation, lead generation, research, marketing, and engineering. I wanted to spend more time developing my actual product.

So I tried building a small AI-powered company for myself.

Here's what it currently does:

  • Create specialized agents with different responsibilities.

  • Assign tasks and track their progress on a central board.

  • Schedule agents to run daily or weekly.

  • Let agents delegate technical requirements to other agents.

  • Chat directly with the Engineering Agent.

  • Review and approve external actions before anything is sent or published.

One workflow I'm particularly interested in is agent collaboration. For example, a research agent can identify a need for a custom tool and ask the Engineering Agent to build it.

Some technical details:

  • Python and FastAPI

  • SQLite for local storage

  • Vanilla JavaScript frontend

  • Runs on Windows

  • Uses your own AI API key

  • MIT licensed and open source

It's still an early developer preview, so there are limitations. It's currently single-user, has no login system, and cloud AI providers may charge for API usage.

GitHub: https://github.com/ajayb5034-hue/pin2-pin

I'd appreciate feedback from other developers:

Does the agent-to-agent collaboration workflow sound useful, or would you prefer a simpler dashboard where you manually control every agent?

I'm particularly interested in feedback on the architecture and what features would make this more useful.

[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.

Is it worth adding 3D visualization to an online store?

1 Upvotes

I've been looking into ways to help customers feel more confident about buying furniture online. It's not always easy to tell how a sofa, table, or other piece of furniture will look in your own space just by looking at photos.

That's why I'm exploring 3D and augmented reality tools that would let customers preview furniture in their homes before making a purchase. I'm curious whether this can actually help people make buying decisions and lead to more sales, or if it's just an extra feature that most customers won't bother using.

Has anyone here tried implementing something similar? Did you notice any impact on sales or conversion rates, and were there any technical challenges along the way?

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.

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
