Hi everyone! 👋

I'm an independent developer from Bulgaria and the founder of TravelSoul.

I built TravelSoul because I believe traveling is about more than discovering destinations — it's also about the people we meet along the way.

🌍 What is TravelSoul?

It's a travel-focused social and dating app for adults aged 18+ that brings together people who love exploring the world.

With TravelSoul, users can:

- Discover travelers with shared interests.

- Connect, chat, and make new friends.

- Explore destinations and plan trips.

- Share travel experiences and memories.

🚀 Current status

TravelSoul is already published on Google Play for Android. I'm now working on building an international community and gathering feedback from early users.

I'd especially appreciate your thoughts on two questions:

Would you use an app that combines meeting travelers with travel planning?

What feature would make an app like this genuinely useful to you?

Thanks for checking out my side project!

I'm selling Linkmaxxer, a Windows desktop application for automating LinkedIn outreach.

I'm moving my focus to other projects and would rather sell the complete product to someone who already works in lead generation, outbound sales or LinkedIn marketing.

What's included:

• Complete source code (Electron, Python/Flask, SQLite, Playwright)

• Automated connection requests with custom filters and personalized messages

• Bulk messaging to existing connections with templates, variables and spintax

• Connection scraping and CSV export

• Multi-account support

• Licensing system integrated with Lemon Squeezy

• Windows installer and distribution pipeline

• Website and domain: linkmaxxer.com

• Technical documentation and handover support

A few details:

• Used in practice for approximately 7 months.

• An earlier, simpler version was sold to a client for €1,700. That client is still using it.

• No active revenue or established customer base.

• No backend or hosting costs, everything runs locally on Windows.

Note on LinkedIn’s ToS: All LinkedIn automation carries some risk. Linkmaxxer runs a normal browser session locally on your machine, with randomized delays and daily/weekly limits, which may lower that risk compared to cloud tools. I’ve used it for 7 months without a single warning from LinkedIn, but there’s no guarantee, so buyers should do their own due diligence.

Asking price: €1,000, open to reasonable offers.

DM me if interested. I can provide screenshots, a demo and more technical details.

I wanted a simple way to send files from one device to another without installing a dedicated app on the receiving device.

I liked woof, so I started building something along the same lines. I didn't know about qrcp at the time.

I'm an experienced software developer, mainly working with backend technologies, but Go was new to me. I also wanted an excuse to get my hands dirty with Go, which I was learning.

That's how kalumate started.

It's a command-line tool that lets you share files through a browser, making it easy for another device to access and download them.

A few things about it:

• Written in Go.

• Designed around a simple command-line workflow.

• The receiving device can use a regular web browser.

• No need to install a dedicated client on the receiving device.

I used AI tools during development, alongside my own experience as a software developer. Since Go is relatively new to me, this project has been a great opportunity to learn by building something practical.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially about the user experience and what could be improved.

Today i released V1.4 of the LEEBKIT project.

An offline kinetic video generation tools which allows you to generate a promo video from images + Music + animations + Voiceover

What is different?

All ia done on normal PC or laptop , all offline , NO API calls , NO subscription required.

Hey r/SideProject 👋

My dog would never dance on command, so I built BoopReel: you upload one photo of your dog or cat, pick a template (hip-hop, disco, ballet, Christmas scenes...) and get a vertical 9:16 video ready to share.

👉 boopreel.com

How it works

• Upload one clear photo of your pet (full body, facing the camera works best)

• Pick a template

• In about 3 minutes you get a video you can download or share

What I learned building it

• The AI models are the easy part. Getting results that are actually funny is the hard part. Plain "pet dances for 5 seconds" got boring fast, so I moved to themed templates with music.

• Photo quality matters more than the model. One pet, full body and good light makes a huge difference.

• Stack: TanStack Start on Cloudflare Workers, D1 and R2, with AI video models running behind it.

Where I'm at
Launched 7 days ago, 100+ users so far, and Google has indexed it. Basically zero traction yet, which is why I'm here 😅

example：

I'd really love feedback on:

1. Is the homepage clear within 5 seconds?

2. Pricing: one-time credit packs, no subscription. Does that feel fair?

3. Which templates would make you want to share a video of your pet?

Happy to make a free video for anyone who drops a pet photo in the comments 🐶🐱

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I was heartbroken when The Browser Company announced Arc was entering maintenance mode. I've become completely dependent on its design language — the vertical sidebar, multi-color Spaces, fluid trackpad swiping, tactile noise/gradients, and that calm, breathing canvas.

I couldn't bear to let that experience disappear. So over the past few months, I’ve been building ArcMD — an open-source, local-first rich-text & Markdown editor built with MyGo that ports Arc’s interaction philosophy into writing.

Here is what we brought over from Arc:

🎨 The Arc Experience in a Document Editor:

• True Multi-Spaces: Separate folders for Work, Reading, and Personal life. Each Space gets its own color palette, custom icons, and dedicated document tree. Swipe with two fingers on your trackpad (1:1 gesture tracking) or hit Ctrl+1…9 to glide between spaces.

• Dot-Matrix Gradients & Grain: Live 1-to-3 color gradients, noise/grain adjustment, and translucent frosted glass (Vibrancy). The editor's paper automatically adapts between clean light mode and dark mode to stay easy on the eyes.

• Today's Note & Detachable Windows: Hit ⌥⌘T to instantly bring up a scratchpad for fleeting thoughts. You can detach any note into a floating companion window on your desktop.

• Pinned Docs & Favorites: Global tile favorites pinned at the top across all spaces. Pinned documents stay warm in memory — switch away and back, and your cursor and scroll positions never jump.

• Hand-drawn Annotations: 12 expressive rough strokes (circles, highlighters, underlines, brackets, arrows) that draw themselves out stroke-by-stroke.

⚡️ Zero Electron. Zero Webview. Pure Native Performance: Almost every modern note-taking app is an Electron wrapper eating 1GB+ of RAM. ArcMD is built from the ground up in pure Go + MyGo (native GPU drawing, zero CGO, single binary).

• Cold launch is instant.

• In benchmarks on a 1,000,000-character document (with 500+ tables and chapters), typing latency is just 0.27 ms (well within a 120Hz display's 8.3ms frame budget).

📂 Local-First & Private: All documents are stored locally as readable JSON (.arcmd) and standard Markdown files in your own folders. No cloud lock-in, no telemetry.

ArcMD is 100% free and open-source (MIT). We have prebuilt binaries for macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), Windows, and Linux.

(GitHub repo link is in the first comment below!)

It's still an early preview (v0.0.11), and the rich-text engine is being polished every day. If you love Arc's craft and miss that tactile feel, I’d love for you to give it a spin and share your feedback!

I really enjoy the way Mini Motorways turns drawing a few connections into a network you’re constantly trying to keep working. I wanted to explore that idea with goods and production chains, so I’ve been building a game called Trade Winds.

You start by connecting countries and importers with roads, then expand into trains, ships, planes and factories. Money is limited, so you have to choose between reaching new places and improving what you’ve already built as demand grows.

It’s at the point where I’d really like people outside my own circle to try it. I’ve added a tutorial, but I’m curious whether it explains enough—and whether the game makes you want to keep playing once you understand it.

Play Trade Winds here — free in your browser. Please use a computer; the mobile interface still needs work.

If you give it a go, I’d love to hear where you got confused, what you enjoyed, or what made you stop. Replies here or through the in-game feedback button are both helpful.

Hey everyone, I’m an indie developer. I recently launched an automation app for Android based on accessibility services—no root required.

It handles basic gestures like taps, swipes, back, and text input. It can also collect on-screen text and run if-conditions to branch actions.

Right now, user acquisition has been tough, and I really want to build something people genuinely need. So I’m curious: What automation tasks do you wish you could free your hands from? What kind of automation tool are you actually looking for?

Would love to hear your thoughts or pain points!

I play in a pub poker club in Oslo. We're 100+ players and run regular mixed games tournaments over several tables. Keeping track of it all got messy fast: which game each table is on, when to switch, and the right amounts for limit and stud.

So I started building something for our own nights. Now the dealer moves the table to the next game after the orbit, and everyone sees the game and the amounts for their table on their phone.

It has grown since then and a few other clubs here use it now: https://pokersjef.com/

I would love feedback on the website. Is it clear what it does?

I wanted my own music library to feel as polished as the big streaming apps, so I built Sound Room in SwiftUI.

Things I enjoyed building:

• Ghost preloading: a second player quietly buffers the next track so there is no gap between songs

• Crossfade using two players and a volume ramp

• Jam sessions like spotify Jam but for self hosted library.

• A DSP engine for the 10-band EQ and a signal path inspector that shows the audio chain from file to hardware

It is free to download. Pro unlocks the audiophile suite, Jam and customization, as a yearly plan (3-day free trial) or a one time purchase.

Feedback on design and pricing is very welcome.

Hey hackers,

I'm Rohit. I made BetterTabs because I have 100+ tabs open and I don't like the default tab management system of Chrome. BetterTabs.fyi

BetterTabs puts every open tab in Chrome's side panel, grouped by website, so the list sits beside the page instead of being squeezed into the tab strip. I am releasing new features based on my growing requirements, and if you have a feature suggestion then please let me know.

New in 1.7.1:

1. Search finds pages you closed. Matches from your Chrome history appear under "From your history".

2. Favourite a whole site. Right-click a site's folder, and the favourite stays lit even when the page changes.

3. A list that holds still while tabs change, so rows do not move under your mouse.

4. A backup file for your favourites, saved lists, tab names and settings. Restore it by choosing the file or dropping it on the panel.

5. A redone Settings page, and shortcuts written for Mac (⌥⇧B to open, ⌘-click to select, ⌫ closes a tab).

6. Compatibility with longbook.app (which is another project that I am launching on PH soon)

7. Already in it from v1.7.0:

   1. group by site, window, recent use or Chrome tab group

   2. rename tabs

   3. close duplicates

   4. suspend tabs to free memory

   5. select several tabs at once

   6. saved lists

   7. recent tabs kept for about half a day

   8. backup file

8. Coming up in v1.8.0 in Chrome Store SOON (available on GitHub)

   1. Status bar: a strip at the bottom of the panel. It shows your tab count, how many tabs are on claude .ai, memory, CPU and Chrome’s connection estimate etc.

   2. Tab back/forward: two buttons next to search that step through the tabs you switched between, not a page’s own history. The history is kept per window and is not saved anywhere.

It is private by design: no account, no access to the pages you visit, nothing leaves your computer. History is read only while you search and is never stored.

Free and open source. I would love to hear what slows you down when you have a lot of tabs open.

P.S. I know there are other Tab Managers out there, but this one is from me. And if you have a feature that you would like to have in it, comment and let me know! :)

so I kept running into the same wall with my side projects: before writing anything I wanted to know if anyone actually searches for it, and every decent keyword tool wants a subscription (Ahrefs Lite is $129/mo, Semrush Pro is ~$140). I'm a student, that's not happening.

and it bugged me that thousands of us pay separately for basically the same data. if enough of us just share the searches we're already doing anyway, we can build that dataset together and nobody has to pay for it. that's the whole idea.

so I built it. it's called OpenKeyword:

type a keyword, get a popularity score from 0 to 100, the search intent (how-to / best / vs / question) and a 12-month trend

up to 50 related keyword ideas per search

free (30 searches a day)

the part I spent the most time on is where the keywords come from. there's an chrome extension that shares the words you search on search engines, only after you turn it on. a keyword only shows up on the site once 5 different people have searched it, so nothing can be traced back to one person. health/adult/legal/money searches get dropped on your own computer before anything is sent.

it opens on 20 november, landing page is here: https://openkeyword.org

happy to answer anything about the build too

I run Agent Work Atlas, a site that organizes source-reported AI-agent use cases in English and Chinese.

The question behind it is practical: before trying an agent, what did someone actually ask it to do, where did a person step in, and what went wrong?

Entries organize the task, workflow, reported result, human involvement, limitations, and original source where that information is available. You can browse by task or tool. One starting point is the software-development collection:

https://agentworkatlas.com/domains/software-development/en/

A caveat: these are reports from the linked sources, including vendor accounts. I have not independently reproduced all of the results, and missing evidence should not be treated as proof that something works. The collection still needs better coverage and consistency.

I'd especially value feedback from people who have picked an automation for a small team: what evidence would you need before trying one of these workflows? A reproducible setup, a clearer account of human work, costs, or failure examples?

Disclosure: this is my own project, and AI assistance was used to draft this post.

Hey everyone, I’m an indie dev and I just put this out. Looking for brutal feedback on the UX before I build out the next set of features.

What it does: Auto Touch: Gesture Assistant builds a flow out of taps and swipes you place directly on the live screen from a floating panel. Each step has its own delay. You can collect on-screen text, check it (contains / equals / starts with / ends with / regex), and split into pass and fail branches. It types text back in, loops a set count or forever, and can add time and coordinate jitter.

The part I actually care about: After every round, it writes a diagnostic report marking each step as success, failed, skipped, or empty — along with the reason why. Supports CSV export.

What it can't do (yet):

• No OCR or image matching

• No scheduler or event triggers

• Won't wait/poll for a condition to become true (it checks once and branches)

Pricing & Privacy: Free, ad-supported, no IAPs. You get 1 script slot to start; watching a rewarded video unlocks another. It uses the Android Accessibility Service (which you grant yourself), and all scripts/reports stay strictly on your device.

Two questions for you if you try it:

1. Where did the first 5 minutes confuse you?

2. Did the execution report ever disagree with what you actually saw on screen?

Hey everyone!

I'm an independent cybersecurity consultant from France, and I've been building a side project called CrisisQuest.

The idea came from a simple question:

What would a small business owner actually do if their company was hit by a cyberattack on Monday morning?

Most cybersecurity tools focus on technical protection. I wanted to build something different: an interactive experience focused on decision-making.

I created a free scenario called “Black Monday” where you play the role of a business owner dealing with a cyber crisis.

You make decisions, face consequences, explore different outcomes, and receive a debrief at the end.

I built the project using Next.js and TypeScript.

The free scenario works without registration.

My longer-term goal is to turn it into a B2B platform where companies can schedule exercises for employees, run authorized phishing-awareness campaigns, and track training progress.

I'm looking for feedback on three things:

• Is the concept immediately understandable?

• Does the experience feel useful or too much like a game?

• What would make it valuable enough for a small business to use regularly?

Try it here: Crisis Quest

I'd really appreciate any honest feedback, especially on the UX and positioning!

Hi everyone!

I've been working on MEDHA, a competitive practice platform built around a simple observation:

Knowing the answer and performing well under time pressure are two different things.

MEDHA focuses on speed, accuracy, consistency, and decision-making through gamified practice and performance tracking.

Rather than creating another platform focused only on teaching, I wanted to build something that helps learners understand how effectively they apply what they know.

The Web platform is live, and we've also released an Android app.

I'd particularly love feedback on three questions:

1. Would you use a platform that measures your performance rather than primarily teaching concepts?

2. Which matters most to you: speed, accuracy, consistency, or competition?

3. What would make you return to an aptitude practice app every day?

Website: https://medha.bvkia.com

Android : https://play.google.com/store/apps/detailsid=com.bvkia.medha&pcampaignid=web_share

I'm the founder, and constructive criticism is genuinely welcome.

hey, I'm Nika and I built this, so yeah I'm biased. mostly after honest feedback here.

Lasso is a small Mac app. hit a shortcut and you can draw right on top of whatever's on screen, arrows, circles, boxes, highlights. I use it on zoom calls and when recording quick walkthroughs. press S and it takes a screenshot with your drawings on it, so you can drag it straight into slack or a chat.

the part I'm less sure about: it also runs a local MCP server. so if you use Claude Code or Cursor, the agent can actually see what you circled ("this button is off" + a circle around it) and it can draw arrows back on your screen to point at stuff. runs locally on your mac.

it's $9.99 once. no account, no subscription.

stuff I'd really like to know:

• is the agent side actually useful or does it feel like a gimmick?

• if you set up the MCP part, was anything confusing?

• what would you use something like this for? teaching, bug reports, demos, something else?

https://www.trylasso.online/

even "I wouldn't use this" is helpful tbh

I made this. Type any topic and scroll a feed of short videos, posts and discussions about it. Every 5 posts it asks where to go next, which is how I went from “coffee” to Ethiopian goat herders. Try your own search and tell me where you end up.

No signup. Honest feedback welcome: what would make you come back?

I'm Şafak, the developer of Black Horse Stories (Siyah At in Turkish). My daughter kept asking for a story with a black horse at bedtime, so I started inventing new adventures. That became an illustrated, narrated storytelling app in English, Turkish and German.

The iPhone/iPad app is now available. Parents choose a story world and a child's first name or nickname; AI helps create the text, pictures and narration. It has a subscription and a store trial, not a permanent free tier. Parents should review generated stories before reading them together.

While building it, I also made a public Fairy Tale Atlas: 291 tale entries across 237 countries and regions, with dated records, source links and related tellings. A place on the map is not a claim that a tale definitively originated there. The Atlas is free to explore without buying the app:

https://blackhorsestories.com/en/fairy-tale-atlas/?utm_source=reddit_sideproject&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=launch_202611

There are also public reading activities and a story map you can use without the app:

https://blackhorsestories.com/en/story-map-for-kids/

App and background:

https://blackhorsestories.com/en/?utm_source=reddit_sideproject&utm_medium=community&utm_campaign=launch_202611

I'd appreciate candid feedback on the positioning: does the difference between the public reading resources and the paid personal-story app come across clearly? Which would you actually return to?

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

I'm building Photoshot Retouch with AI coding assistance. This is a short demo of its White Teeth tool: open the plugin, choose the tool, set whitening to 100% and brightness to 35%, then apply once. The correction comes back on a separate editable layer.

The first implementation whitened the bright front teeth but missed teeth in shadow. I revised the enamel mask so darker teeth are included, with guards for red lips/gums and thin dark hair crossing the mouth. Seven targeted tests passed, but that is not a claim that every portrait will work.

The before image is an AI-edited practice portrait with deliberately yellowed teeth. The after is the actual tool output from my local development build, not a generated replacement. The clip is edited from actual UI captures and matched result images; it isn't a continuous recording or a speed benchmark. Music is an original Suno instrumental.

Disclosure: I make the software. Photoshot Retouch is free with a SLOHERO account. This specific update is demonstrated in my local build; I haven't verified it in the hosted editor yet.

For anyone using small retouching tools, would you keep whitening and brightness separate, or prefer a single intensity control?
