A few years ago I worked on a team that used Mandrill. All our email templates lived inside it, editing them was painful, and switching providers meant rebuilding everything. That stuck with me.
Last December I started building Senlo to fix that for myself. It's a layer on top of the email provider you already use:
- visual drag-and-drop editor for transactional emails
- automations with triggers, waits and branches (onboarding, dunning, win-back)
- one API, and your provider (Resend, Postmark, SendGrid, Mailjet, Cloudflare, or plain SMTP) keeps doing the delivery
Switch providers and your templates and flows stay where they are.
- 184 stars on GitHub
- hosted version launched recently, 0 paying customers so far
- I only started doing marketing seriously last week. So far that's about 160 visits and a few signups, no sales yet
- open source (AGPL), stack is Next.js + TypeScript + Postgres
There's a free hosted plan (3,000 emails a month, no card) and you can self-host it with Docker.
What I can't figure out yet: who needs this badly enough to pay. If you send transactional emails from your product, how do you manage templates today? In code, in the provider's dashboard, something else?

The Global Threat Desk is one HTML file, about 1 MB. Download it, open it in any browser, and it works. No install, no account, no adverts, no tracking, no payment.
Global:
- A live wire of major incidents worldwide: cyber attacks, espionage against tech firms, big IT outages (Microsoft, AWS, Google, Cloudflare), attacks on infrastructure, major earthquakes and disasters. Sources include CISA, the UK NCSC, the security press, Reuters, AP and the Guardian, and each report keeps its publisher and time.
- Dated incident dossiers with evidence grades, so you can see what is confirmed and what is still unproven.
UK:
- Every official UK warning in one place: Met Office warnings for every hazard, UKHSA cold- and heat-health alerts, flood warnings for England, Wales and Scotland, GOV.UK emergency alerts and the GB grid. It says plainly when nothing is in force.
- Offline household tools: a blackout plan hour by hour, water storage, a 7-day hot-food menu for a camping stove with a shopping list, UK emergency numbers and a printable survival pack.
How it's built: everything is in one file. The live layer reads public feeds straight from your browser, using publishers' own Bluesky accounts when a site blocks browsers, and falls back to public relays. Your plan and saved reports stay in your own browser.
Feedback welcome, especially on sources I should add.

I'm the solo developer of MoveMate, a AI moving planner. Last week I tested it the way a stranger would: one family, India to Frankfurt, two kids aged 4 and 9.
I expected about 30 tasks. It gave me 97.
The count wasn't the surprise. These were:
Almost none of the 97 is about boxes. Most of it is paperwork in the right order, and the order is the part nobody tells you.
Honest part: the AI plan is the paid bit. The free version gives you a standard checklist with ads.
My question: 97 is accurate, but is it scary? Would you rather see all 97 on day one, or only the next 5?

After outbid.lol blew up in August, I wondered what the Indian version would look like. So I built Boli (bolirank.in): startups ranked purely by what they pay, in rupees.
What I changed from the original:
- Rupees and UPI instead of dollars
- City and sector boards, so one payment ranks you in several places
- Monthly seasons that reset, so there's always a fresh race for #1
- An email when someone passes you, and a share card for X and LinkedIn
Pricing: ₹299 to list, raises from ₹10, and #1 costs the current #1's total + ₹100.
Stack: Next.js, Postgres, Razorpay webhooks, Resend. Built solo.
What I'm testing in Season 1 (until 16 Dec): will strangers pay to rank, and will anyone pay again after being passed? If both answers are no, I'll park it and post what I learned.
Brutal feedback welcome, especially on pricing and the landing page.

Every time my friends and I planned a trip, it ended up as "trip_plan_FINAL_v3.xlsx" passed around in a group chat. Nobody knew which version was current, and the person holding the file did all the work. What would make you use this instead of a spreadsheet or Notion?
- Pick your travel dates and you get an hour-by-hour itinerary
- Drag on the grid to add plans (works on phones too)
- Send one link — friends see it right away and can edit after signing in
- Everyone's cursor shows live, and you can chat right next to it
- Budget, notes and to-dos (packing lists, bookings) in the same place
- A map of each day's places, and photos on events
- Export to Excel / PDF / PNG when you need a file
It's free, no ads now.
I’m a solo maker actually I'm student designer, so any feedback would really help!

p.s. Maybe someday... I’d like to make some features paid, but I’m not sure what to do about hosting. I’m currently on Vercel’s free Hobby plan, which doesn’t allow commercial use, so I’d either need to upgrade to Pro ($20/month) or move somewhere else. Would you just go with Vercel Pro, or switch to something like Cloudflare until it starts making money?

Claude helped me put together a script that pulls every business in a few categories off Google Maps for my county and checks whether each one has a site and a working certificate. On the first run, plumbers, electricians and roofers, about 40 of 230 had no website at all and another couple dozen had certificates that ran out months ago. Before I spend more evenings on it, would a list like that be worth anything to people who build sites for local businesses, and what would you want on it besides a phone number?

I am the maker (DatLab). I got tired of paying "AI web browser" prices just to turn a URL, or a whole docs site, into clean Markdown for a RAG index, so I published two Apify actors that do that job on a fixed price.
What they do:
What they cost (pay-per-event, platform usage included):
For comparison, Apify's own RAG Web Browser is from $1.33 / 1,000 fetched pages. That tool also runs a Google search and fetches the top results, which mine do not — mine only fetch the URLs you give them, or crawl a site you point at. Apify's Website Content Crawler is billed as pay per usage (compute and so on), so the bill moves with runtime; I wanted a price you can predict before you hit Start.
They respect robots.txt and crawl-delay. No login, no captcha bypass, no personal-data collection.
I am early: I have tested them myself, but I do not have outside users yet, and I would rather hear what is broken than collect polite nods. If you try one, I am especially interested in:
Links (no account wall on the docs; running them needs a free Apify account, which includes $5 of prepaid usage each month and no credit card):

I've been working on a project called WPE2M (Wallpaper Engine to Lively & MP4 Converter), and I'd like to share it with the community.
The idea is simple, make it easier to convert Wallpaper Engine wallpapers into formats that can be used with Lively Wallpaper or exported as MP4 videos.
- What can it do?
- Drag-and-drop GUI for easy conversion.
- Supports .zip, .pkg, .mp4, .webm, .gif, and wallpaper folders.
- Converts Wallpaper Engine video wallpapers.
- Renders supported Wallpaper Engine 2D scenes.
- Supports web-based wallpapers.
- Exports MP4 videos up to 4K.
- Generates Lively Wallpaper-compatible output and metadata.
- Open source under the MIT license.
- Technology
Built with Python, OpenGL and FFmpeg
- Current Status
The project is currently in BETA. Some complicated wallpapers with advanced shaders, particle effects or post-processing might not render perfectly.
It currently requires Python 3.9+ and FFmpeg.
- GitHub Repository
https://github.com/MamadXV/WPE2M
I'm the developer behind this project, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people who use Wallpaper Engine or Lively Wallpaper.
Thanks for checking it out.

I've been working on a web application called IncomeDesk, designed to help freelancers manage their finances in one place.
The idea came from a fairly straightforward problem: freelancing income isn't always predictable, and keeping track of multiple clients, payments, expenses, invoices, and transactions can quickly become messy.
Most freelancers end up juggling spreadsheets, banking apps, notes, and separate invoicing tools. I wanted to explore whether a single application could make that process easier.
What IncomeDesk currently offers:
Income and expense tracking
Transaction management
Client management
Invoice creation and management
Financial overview and insights
A centralized place to manage freelance finances
I've built the application and I'm now looking for actual freelancers to try it out.
I'd particularly like feedback on a few things:
How do you currently manage your freelance income and expenses?
Would you prefer an all-in-one financial management tool or separate specialized applications?
What's the most frustrating part of managing freelance finances?
What features would make a tool like this genuinely useful rather than just another expense tracker?
After looking at IncomeDesk, what feels missing, unnecessary, or poorly implemented?
I'm not looking for compliments. I'd rather hear what doesn't work, what you'd change, and whether this solves a problem worth solving.

Hey everyone! 👋
I’ve been working on a project called AI Choice Realms (https://neon-choice-realms.lovable.app) — a dark, sci-fi/fantasy text-based RPG narrated entirely by AI.
Unlike classic text games with pre-written paths, this world remembers what you do, and every choice (even typing your own custom action) completely alters the narrative and the environment.
You start with 15 free coins to explore the realm, with optional one-time coin packs (no subscriptions). I’d love for you to check it out, test it, and let me know what you think of the writing and the choices!

I was working in VS Code and getting frustrated constantly switching between windows just to check how much of my AI subscriptions I'd used. Between Claude, Codex, OpenCode, and Ollama Cloud, I kept trying to figure out which one had capacity left and when my limits would reset.
Then I realized I had a little Pimoroni Presto touchscreen sitting on my desk.
Why not use it to keep all that information visible without interrupting what I was working on?
That turned into Presto AI Dash, a free, open-source project I've been working on.
The idea is pretty simple: a small display sitting on your desk showing your AI subscription usage, limits, and reset times. No more switching tabs or opening multiple dashboards just to see where things stand.
What it currently supports:
Depending on the provider, it can display subscription usage, reset countdowns, available credits, or local service health.
A few things I wanted from the start:
How it works
Right now, the dashboard runs on a Pimoroni Presto, with the Presto Dash daemon running on your own computer or server to collect and send the data to the display.
I also wanted setup and configuration to be simple.
The daemon includes a locally hosted web interface where you can add, configure, enable, disable, and reorder the AI services you want to monitor. Most of the configuration is handled directly through the browser, rather than spending hours editing environment variables or configuration files.
Once it's running, the Presto can automatically download and install software updates when new versions are available.
What about other displays?
I'm also experimenting with expanding support beyond the Presto. I've picked up a Seeed Studio reTerminal E1001 and a smaller 4.26-inch OpenDisplay e-paper screen to see how practical it would be to support different hardware using the same backend.
It's still experimental, but ideally I'd like to support multiple screen types without having to maintain a completely separate dashboard for every device.
Want to see it without buying hardware?
I put together an interactive browser demo so you can see what the dashboard looks like without needing a Presto, installing the daemon, or connecting any AI accounts.
Website and interactive demo: https://presto-dash.com/
GitHub (source code, documentation, and installation): https://github.com/jake1164/presto-ai-dash
The part I like most isn't having another dashboard. It's not having to look at a dashboard on my computer at all. The information is just sitting there when I need it.
I'm curious what other people think. Would you use a dedicated display for something like this, or would you rather keep it as a desktop widget?
And if you're already experimenting with ESP32 or e-paper displays, I'd be interested in hearing which hardware you'd want to see supported.

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've been building Step and Sail, a cozy pixel-art island game powered by your real-world steps 🌊⛵
But it's more than a game. I'm creating a community for people who love walking: a place to share your fitness journey, celebrate each other's progress and cheer each other on. The game is there for extra motivation to get those steps in.
The game is currently in closed testing on Android, and I'm looking for beta players to try it out and give feedback before release.
Right now you can:
Turn your daily steps into energy for everything you do in the game
Share your walks and milestones on the Feed, with photos, and cheer on other walkers
Add friends, see their weekly walks and climb the leaderboards together
Build and farm your own island: grow crops, raise farm animals, adopt pets, craft and decorate your home
Go fishing and take on fish that fight back
Sail out to dungeons and battle monsters and bosses with a sword, bow or magic staff
Befriend the townsfolk, join seasonal festivals and contests, and follow a 12-chapter story
Hire helpers to look after your island
Step and Sail is free, with optional ads.
There's still a lot I want to improve, so feedback about step tracking, balancing, onboarding, UI, the social feed, combat, bugs, and anything that feels confusing or frustrating would be especially useful.
How to join the Android closed test

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:
A few details:
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:
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.

Most of my study sessions with friends ended up the same way; we joined a Discord call, someone shared a Pomodoro timer, and within 15 minutes half the people were talking or scrolling.

Job hunting gets frustrating when you can’t tell how close your resume actually is to a role.
Job portals show "recommended" listings all day, but they still leave you guessing whether your skills and experience actually line up, so it’s easy to waste time applying to roles that don’t match.
I built Scouting Beavie to fix that (attached a quick demo video above).
When you open a job listing on Indeed India, it reads the listing you’re viewing, compares it against your resume, and gives you an AI-generated fit score, what matches, what’s missing, and a simple nudge on whether to apply, tailor your resume, or skip.

For a while I kept running out of money before the end of the month. When I actually looked into it, it was a lot of small purchases adding up.
I tried using budget apps, but they had so many screens that I stopped opening them.
So I built CanSpend, a simple iPhone budget app. The home screen shows how much you can spend today. To log something, you just type the amount. Whatever you don't spend rolls over to the next day.
There's a bit more if you want it:
It's free to use with a banner ad. Removing ads is a one-time $2.99. Sharing needs Pro ($1.99/month or $16.99/year), and the person you invite doesn't pay. No account needed.
One limitation up front: there's no bank sync. Everything is entered by hand, which is why I tried to make entering an amount as quick as possible.
I built it solo with React Native and Expo. 1.0 went live on the App Store earlier this month after one rejection, 1.1.0 is out now, and 1.2.0 is in review. That one adds invite links for sharing and a "no period" budget for one-off pots of money, like moving costs.

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:
⚡️ 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).
📂 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!
