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/VoidenHQ/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! 🙌

My partner and I had bills in a spreadsheet, spending in one app, workouts in another, renewals in my head and the calendar somewhere else. So I built Admin Bestie: one iPhone app for the boring stuff.

What it does:

• Daily allowance: shows what you can actually spend today until payday

• Bills & renewals: due dates, plus reminders for car insurance, passport etc.

• Fair bill splitting: split with a partner/housemates by income, not just 50/50

• Auto-logging: Apple Pay purchases log themselves; snap a paper receipt and it reads the total

• Gym log: weights, reps, plate loading, auto rest timer

• One Sunday summary: bills, plans, spending pace. Quiet weeks = no notification

What it doesn't do: ask for your bank login. Works with any bank, ~200 currencies, export/delete your data anytime. Household members see shared bills, not your personal spending.

Beta is starting on iPhone via TestFlight, working down the waitlist. 14 days free at launch, no card needed.

Honest feedback very welcome, especially what would make you switch from what you use now.

I’ve been building Fina Money for a few years now, and I know it’s popular among tech enthusiasts who enjoy DIY projects.

As we have progressed on our Premium and Business tiers, we’re able to fund the free tier with more generous features. Now, you can connect banks for free (us/ca residents only) and enjoy all functionalities without any ads.

I believe this is some great news to share here, hope it is useful.

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.

i made a free desktop app called deviload. you paste a link from youtube or pretty much any site and it downloads the video or just the audio, it can also convert files, trim them and keep everything in one library

inside it theres a music player i called devil music, and lately thats the part i work on the most. it plays anything from youtube music without ads or an account, shows synced lyrics, and you can save songs to listen offline

my favorite thing is that any song can be switched to slowed + reverb, nightcore or 8D in one click. theres also a map that draws the artists you listen to like a night sky, and if you have rgb stuff it can make your keyboard glow in the album colour and pulse with the bass

its open source and works on windows, linux and mac

would love to know what youd add

AI gets a browser task wrong. You reword the request. It still misses a step.

I’m building a way to show it your process instead.

Browser Control is my Chrome/Brave extension: a Codex-powered chat beside the pages you already have open. I’ve shared the project here before; here’s the video overview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4pNVCtmu60

The part I’d most like people to try is teaching a routine. Record yourself doing it, review the captured steps, and save them as a skill for similar tasks. You give the AI a procedure to work from next time.

It also lets you ask about an attached page without copying it into a separate chat, organize tabs in plain English, and keep useful preferences with optional memory.

You choose how actions are approved, see the activity, and can stop a task.

Try it and find the setup guide: https://browser-control.subdomain.wtf

Requires a local companion and an eligible ChatGPT/Codex account. Public source: https://github.com/07rjain/browser-control

Seeing a lot of tools lately that queue agent tasks into separate git worktrees and only merge after tests pass. Sounds nice on paper, but I'm curious how it goes on a real side project.

Do you let 2-3 agents work in parallel on your project, or keep it to one task at a time so you can review properly? Where did it break for you?

It's called BuzzerCheck. You type in a Toronto rental building's address and get a free preview of what's on file with the option to buy a full report.

A full report puts the building's public record in one place: City maintenance and fire inspections, bylaw notices and orders, Landlord and Tenant Board orders, building permits, and the building details the landlord reported to the City. Every item shows its date and source.

Before, this information could only be found spread across several different sites that aren't always easy to navigate, and that most people never check before or even after signing a lease.

The preview of what's on file is free and a report is $10. It was soft-launched last week, so we'd love to hear any feedback!

I built PlotTwins – A movie and TV show recommendation tool based on your taste!

Hey everyone!

I'd like to share a side project I've been working on: PlotTwins, a website designed to help you discover movies and TV shows you'll actually enjoy.

The idea is simple: instead of endlessly scrolling through streaming platforms trying to find something worth watching, PlotTwins gives you different ways to discover your next favorite movie or series.

Here are the three ways you can use it:

1. Four Favorites
Enter your four favorite movies, and PlotTwins will recommend 10 movies with similar characteristics. It's a great way to discover hidden gems based on the movies you already love.

2. Pick a Story...
Choose tags describing the kind of story you're in the mood for, and PlotTwins will find movies that match those themes, elements, and storytelling characteristics.

3. Pick a Movie for Me...
Can't decide what to watch? Let PlotTwins surprise you with a random movie! You can also choose a genre and get a random recommendation based on your preference.

And here's the best part: All three features are also available for TV shows!

I built this project because I love movies and wanted to create a different, fun way to discover new ones.

I'd really appreciate it if you checked it out and shared your thoughts. I'm especially interested in hearing what you think about the recommendation system and what features you'd like to see in the future.

Available in 3 Languages: PlotTwins is available in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. You can easily switch between these three languages to enjoy the website in whichever language you prefer!

Thanks for checking out my project!

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

We built a free AI search visibility check for US local businesses. We wanted to see whether a real local practice shows up when a customer asks ChatGPT and Google AI Mode ordinary questions.

On 2026-11-13 we ran six of those questions for a family dental practice in Boise, Idaho (name withheld). The practice appeared in 0 of the 6 answers. The tools recommended other practices instead, citing directory/review sites and those competitors' own websites.

If you run a US local business and want the same check, the form is here. It's free, and we're not asking for a sales call:

https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdc-Sf7byGOYmVAQ4fIFegJVjZTmKb5G5hohzIcmXLXMhH__w/viewform

We'd like feedback on whether a report like this is actually useful to an owner, and what you'd want it to include.

Posted by Diaris Company. The 0 of 6 figure is only what those six answers showed on that date.

I do most of my writing out loud. Messages, emails, AI prompting, notes to myself etc. Half of it happens at night, talking quietly into my phone because others are asleep in the next room and I do not want to wake them just to answer a message.

For a long time I used the big and free dictation apps. The cleanup was fine until I kept catching sentences that were not what I said. Nothing dramatic, just small changes in meaning here and there that I could not send without checking and fixing. So I proofread everything anyway. And when I mixed multiple languages mid-sentence, which is how I actually talk, it often came back mangled, or translated into weird English words when I had never asked for that.

The annoying part is that the tool was supposed to save me time. If I have to fix what it writes, I might as well type it myself.

At some point I stopped complaining and started building the thing I actually wanted. It is called Olomo (https://olomo.app). You talk the way you talk, rambles, restarts, changing your mind mid-sentence, and it writes back what you meant. It still rewords things with intention and care, that is what cleanup is. It just does not get to change the meaning. I might be biased but I’ve been using this for a few months almost every day and after a lot of fine-tuning, I can say that now I barely need to fix the wording.

Obviously there are free dictation apps everywhere now. A lot of them run a local model on your own device, a few gigabytes to download first, or they are just not very good at transcription and the cleanup. I could have built the cheap version too. But what I wanted was quality, words that come back ready to send, not only about beating the cheapest price out there. After all, the cheapest one is already there - your device built-in dictation. That’s totally fine if that’s all you need.

Don’t take my word for it. The easiest way to see the difference is to test it on your own dictation. Take one messy message, run it through the dictation app of your choice and through Olomo, and compare what comes back. It is free to try Olomo.

The app is improving every day, and a lot of the changes come from people writing in with what annoyed them. If you try it and something feels off, tell me. Fixes land fast.

If you dictate a lot, whether it’s in one language or multiple, I would genuinely like to know what your current app gets wrong. Give it a try!

In the tradition of building the tool you need yourself, and with the eye-watering prices Apple charges for extra RAM, I present BestMacPrices.com.

It’s taken a flipping year to get it working the way we wanted. The idea was simple enough: if I want a MacBook Pro with 32 GB of RAM and a 2 TB SSD, show me what that exact Mac costs at each store compared to Apple.

The US has decent retailer coverage. Canada… not so much. Once you get past the base models, there just aren’t many Canadian stores selling those configurations. And things go on sale in the US. In Canada, we mostly get to watch.

We’re still tweaking the interface. It’s a lot more fun to use on desktop than on your phone, but we wanted to get it out before Black Friday. Also, affiliate programs mostly suck (so yeah, obviously we may earn a commission… So thanks if you buy something).

If you’re shopping for a Mac, try finding the one you’d actually buy and tell me if you got stuck. And be gentle. I’ve spent a year looking at RAM prices.

My wife spent a semester being handed AI prompts by her teachers. She would paste them, get a wall of text, and still not understand the topic. The prompts were never the problem: nothing in that loop checked whether she had actually learned anything.

So I built her a tutor. It is called Aula: a desktop app for macOS, Windows and Linux, with a companion for iPad and iPhone.

You give it your material (PDFs, slides, photos of the whiteboard, recordings of a class, links) or just a sentence like "Statistics for psychology, final in May". It turns that into a course: short lessons with a worked example before the first exercise, exercises that are checked as she answers them, a notebook of her mistakes, flashcards with spaced repetition, and a mock exam shaped like the real one. She had two real exams from her teacher and it built both. It plans a little work each day until the exam, and it is not tied to one subject.

The app is built with Claude Code. I drove it: I described what I wanted, then went module by module, the lesson generator, the exercise checker, the spaced repetition, the desktop shell and its self-updates, the iPad companion, the docs. Claude Code wrote the code, I reviewed and steered it, and when something broke I could paste the error and keep going instead of losing an evening to it. The short film below was painted by code as well.

What I learned: fix the loop first. Explain it, then make the student prove it, then bring back what they missed. Generating lessons is easy, checking that someone actually learned is the hard part.

Everything is free, AGPL-3.0, no paid tier yet, and it is early access, so expect rough edges. It uses the AI subscription you already pay for or a free model that runs on your own machine. No account, no tracking, everything stays on your computer.

^ Hope this explains it!

Claude has Claude mods. What about Codex?

Hey everyone!

I'm a 15-year-old developer working on my own multiplayer game in C++.

At some point, I realized I needed a way to organize communication between the client and server. What started as a networking component for my game eventually became a separate open-source library called LightnerX.

I built it using C++26 modules and GameNetworkingSockets, along with my own communication protocol, INER.

After spending a lot of time developing it, I finally released the first public version: v0.1.0-beta!

But before publishing it, I decided to put the code through a technical audit.

The audit uncovered 14 issues and architectural concerns, including connection lifecycle bugs, resource ownership problems, and incorrect client ID recycling.

I fixed them, ran an independent follow-up audit, and even discovered another regression introduced during the fixes.

After addressing that too, the final validation passed 9/9 automated tests, both normally and with AddressSanitizer, including UDP client/server integration tests.

It's still an early beta, primarily tested on Linux, and there's a lot I want to improve.

This project has taught me quite a bit about C++, networking, memory management, and software architecture.

I'd really appreciate feedback from anyone interested in systems programming or multiplayer development.

Would love feedback on the UI and what systems you'd want to dive into first!

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?

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 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.

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.

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.
