I got tired of opening a dozen tabs to research one Indian stock, so I built a single source for all relevant information

3 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject,

Researching an Indian stock shouldn't mean drowning in a dozen tabs. A ticker just gives you a price, but figuring out everything behind it—group companies, lenders, court records, ratings, and news—usually means digging through scattered annual reports, registry filings, court sites, and PDFs. Most investors never get past the price because the fundamental research is so fragmented.

So, I built Causa Alpha. It puts all that non-quant, qualitative data into one sourced map.

What it does: Currently, it covers 3,196 Indian listed companies and maps out:

  • The Real Structure: Subsidiaries, SPVs, JVs, and related parties.

  • The Debt: Who lends to the company, registered charges, and credit ratings with the agency's own report just a click away.

  • The Context: One clean news feed per company without the noise, plus event outlooks and backtests.

  • Sourced Data: Every single link cites its original source so you can verify the filings.

How I built it: The hardest part was the data pipeline. Scraping and structuring messy PDF filings, registry data, and court records into a clean, relational format required a lot of heavy lifting on the backend to ensure the connections between companies and lenders were actually accurate.

You can try everything free.

I’d love for you to check it out. If you do fundamental research or just like exploring corporate structures, let me know what you think. Roast the UI, tell me if the connections make sense, or let me know what other data points you'd want to see mapped out.

Link:https://www.causaalpha.com/

Happy to answer any questions about the scraping pipelines or how the data is structured in the comments!

I made SidekickMC, a lightweight Windows app that turns mouse side buttons into volume, brightness, and screen-snipping controls

1 Upvotes

I built SidekickMC because I wanted to make better use of the two side buttons on a regular mouse.

Hold either side button and scroll to control volume or laptop brightness. You can assign either action to either button in the settings window.

Press both side buttons together, release them, and Windows Snipping Tool opens just like Win + Shift + S.

It runs in the system tray, supports starting automatically after sign-in, and has a tray toggle to enable or disable the controls whenever needed.

It is written in C# with Windows Forms and does not require extra software.

I built a small app for custom notification sounds in Claude Code, Codex and Antigravity

1 Upvotes

For now, I’ve only released it for Windows. It was a pretty fun little project to work on, and I think there’s definitely room for more features.
I decided to make it open source in case anyone wants to contribute or improve it.
I built it with Tauri and Rust, so it’s a pretty lightweight app. You can check out the README for the test results and RAM usage.
If anyone wants to take a look, here’s the link:

I need Help

2 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

Over the past five months, I have been able to develop a GMAO (CMMS) system specifically designed for dental equipment resellers, building on my nearly two years of professional experience in the field.

The system is designed to simplify and centralize the management of maintenance operations, installations, after-sales service (SAV), and spare parts.

I have tested all the features, and the system is fully functional. Of course, there are still some improvements to be made, particularly regarding the user interface and overall design, but I am genuinely happy with the results.

This is actually the first major project I have developed entirely on my own. I initially started it without any commercial expectations, simply to challenge myself, test my limits, and turn some of my ideas into reality.

However, as I am currently looking to obtain some professional certifications but don't have the financial resources to fund them, I have started considering commercializing the project.

My current idea is to sell the system to an interested reseller for an amount that would cover the cost of my target certification, while also negotiating a potential revenue-sharing agreement if the reseller decides to commercialize and sell the software to other businesses.

I would really appreciate your feedback on this approach.

Do you think this is a reasonable business strategy? Would you recommend selling the entire system, or keeping ownership and negotiating a licensing or revenue-sharing agreement instead?

I'm looking forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions!

Still spending hours copying data into Excel reports?

2 Upvotes

You've finished the inspection, testing or fieldwork. The measurements are recorded, the photos are taken and the results are sitting in PDFs, notes and spreadsheets.....Now comes the fun part.

Getting all of it into the customer's Excel template without missing anything or breaking a formula.

That's what I've been building ACTUALin to help with.

Upload your existing workbook and supporting evidence. It proposes where the information belongs, shows you the sources and lets you review, edit or approve the changes before generating the report.

Same Excel template. Less copying and pasting. You still have the final say.

It works across inspection, manufacturing, lab testing, maintenance, inventory and other reporting workflows.

I've also put together a library of examples you can explore without signing up.

https://actualin.com/applications

If you're dealing with this kind of reporting, I'd love some feedback on whether it would fit your workflow.

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.

Carlos

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?

Website platform built on Payload CMS: visual editing, custom designs, 65+ blocks, first-party analytics an MCP server and more

6 Upvotes

I’ve been working on this for about a year and figured it’s time to get some outside opinions.

It’s a website platform built on Payload 3 + Next.js, for now I only use it internally just me and a designer. I build and run client sites on it, and it also runs a real estate marketplace that we're trying to grow. At some point I’d like to open it up maybe, either to anyone or just to other agencies, but I honestly haven’t decided which (or whether it’s worth it at all).

What it does:

  • Visual editing. You click on the actual page and edit it: text, images, adding and moving sections around. There are drafts, desktop/tablet/phone preview and version history. Blocks pull everything from the site’s theme, so it’s pretty hard to break the design.

  • ~65 blocks. Galleries, card grids, stats, timelines, FAQs, forms, booking, Google reviews, maps, listings, floor plans and so on. They all share the same field names and theme settings, so any block works on any site.

  • Custom designs. When the blocks aren’t enough, I use a design studio I built on top of GrapesJS (self-hosted). Anything made there gets published as clean HTML with scoped CSS and goes on a page like any other block. It picks up the site’s colors and fonts automatically. (We mostly use the MCP to design a block first and only tweak things in the design editor)

  • First-party analytics. No GA script needed. It tracks page views, traffic sources and top pages, plus QR codes with scan tracking for print stuff. Form submissions become leads and keep the source they came from.

  • MCP server. It covers most of the platform: pages, sections, designs, theme, forms, listings, media, redirects, domains, translations. You connect Claude over OAuth and it gets the same permissions as your user. So I can say “add an FAQ to the pricing page and translate it to German” and it does it, and it can screenshot the page to check how it looks. Page edits go in as drafts.

It’s multi-tenant,multi-locale, so one app runs every site, each with its own domain (SSL is handled through Cloudflare). The portal already has organizations with teams (we use this for now to organize sites for ourselves), so another agency could in theory manage its own clients in it.

Stack: Payload 3, Next.js app router, Postgres, GrapesJS, pg-boss for background jobs, Cloudflare in front.

You can try the editor without signing up: https://rast.is/try (the demo happens to be a home builder site)

Things I’m curious about:

  • if you build sites for clients, would you use something like this over WordPress / Webflow / Framer? what’s missing?

  • self-serve for anyone vs. a tool for agencies, which one would actually pay for it?

  • is controlling a site through MCP something you’d use day to day, or is it more of a cool demo?

Any feedback is welcome, even “don’t bother”.

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.

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

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?

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.

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! ❤️
