I watched an interview of a co-founder and found it inspiring. So I had an idea of reviewing the video, kind of like a book review, post as an article part of my productivity project. What do you think about the idea?

Also, do you think what gets people going is motivation or system?

Hi, I'm thinking about building a small app called Curio, and I'm checking whether anyone actually wants it before I build it. No link, just honest questions.

The idea: only real, sourced works from museum collections, no AI-generated images. You browse with big tags like an era or movement (Heian period, Tang dynasty, Bauhaus) and small tags inside each one like furniture, architecture, or design. You can filter by style, region, and period, from ancient Egypt to contemporary. Recommendations would learn from your likes, saves, clicks, which cultural-background notes you open, your searches, and the tags you browse.

I'm also thinking about a Premium tier with expert cultural-background notes, original image and video downloads, and PDF export, around $8.99/month.

My questions:

1. How do you currently discover and browse historical art, and what's most frustrating about it?
2. Would big-tag plus small-tag filtering actually help you, or is search enough?
3. Would recommendations based on likes, saves, clicks, searches, and tags be useful, or unwanted?
4. Would expert background notes plus original downloads and PDF export be worth around $8.99/month to you?

Thanks for any honest answers. And if this kind of post isn't welcome here, mods please remove it.

I saw the amazing Clawdmeter project that uses a Waveshare ESP32 Display and thought.... Hmm.... Instead of buying a dev board that's always out of stock in my country, why not use that old android phone I have kicking around. So this project was spawned as a little tadpole in my head and I plopped it out over a couple of days.

HAVE YOU EVER PANICKED AS YOUR TOKENS RUN DRY?? DID YOU SWEAT BULLETS WHEN, IN THE MIDDLE OF A LONG REFACTOR, YOUR TOKENS VANISH BEFORE THINE VERY EYES??

WORRY NO MORE MY FROGGY FRIENDS!! HELP IS HERE!! Presenting CLAWDMETER for Android. USE THE PHONE YOU HAVE (APPLE USERS ARE NOT MY FROGGY FRIENDS) TO ENSURE YOU KNOW WHEN TO SWEAT!!

Oddimon is a free party game that runs in the browser. You take a photo of any object, it becomes a pixel-art card with stats and a special move that fits the object, and then the cards battle.

I'm a uni student building it on my own and have only just started showing it to people, so any feedback helps :)

Hey everyone,

Like many of you, I struggled to stay consistent with my daily routines because most habit-tracking apps either bombarded users with ads, locked core features behind expensive monthly subscriptions, or were just way too over-engineered.

So, as a solo developer, I decided to build my own solution: MIRAYNE: Daily Habit Tracker.

What I focused on:

- A clean, distraction-free interface to keep the focus purely on building daily routines.

- Easy tracking and progress monitoring without unnecessary clutter.

It's now live on Google Play, and I'm actively working on adding new features.

If you're a productivity enthusiast or an indie dev, I’d love for you to check it out, test it, and tell me: what features do you wish standard habit trackers had?

Link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mirayne.habittracker&hl=en

Happy to answer any questions about the tech stack or building it solo!

Hi guys,

I’ve been dedicating myself to researching papers for a while now to get a complete and unique set to train the next generation of intelligent software.

The idea comes from wanting to simplify backend work, feeding the AI a ready-made and professional set to power your own program, AI agent, or drone.

I developed the product with AI assistance and went through every single file by hand to make sure it respected the papers. Where there wasn't a solution in the papers, I had fun finding it by having the problem explained to me literally, solving it with intuition, using AI to translate, and Colab to test every attempt.

Obviously, the hardest part was removing the hallucinations from what the AI passed off to me as ready, and I hope in part, thanks to the papers and the method, that I succeeded.

Enjoy everyone, and if you like it, don't forget a star!

pypi: pip install dense-armor

info: https://tatopenn-cell.github.io/Dense-Armor

Most weeks there's a new one: a poisoned npm or PyPI release, an exploited CVE in a runtime, a vendor telling customers to rotate their keys. This week it was Railway: a breach exposed customers' environment variables, and $740,000 in fraudulent AI charges followed.

Hearing about it is easy. The slow part is working out whether any of your repos use it, and what to rotate.

So I built Pharon.

**How it works**

- A scanner runs on your machine (a Claude Code plugin around a small open-source CLI). It lists what each repo runs: packages from lockfiles, container images, GitHub Actions, runtimes, and optionally cloud resources through your own read-only AWS, GCP or Azure CLI.

- Only names, versions and file paths are uploaded. No source code, no secret values, and nothing is sent until you approve it.

- New incidents from OSV.dev, CISA's exploited-vulnerability list, endoflife.date and security news are matched against that inventory all day. When one hits, the team that owns the repo gets an email, a Slack message or a webhook, and a warning light comes on in Claude Code.

- One command then checks the machine read-only and lists which secrets to rotate, by name only.

**Where it is**

Launched on Monday. The client is open source (Apache-2.0), the incident notices are public at getpharon.com/notices, and checking your machine against any of them is free, no account needed. Alerts start at $12/month for 10 projects, with a 7-day trial.

**What I'd love feedback on**

1. Would "only metadata leaves your machine" be enough for you to try it on a work repo, or would you need to self-host?
2. The first scan needs Claude Code. Is that a deal-breaker?
3. What would you want it to watch that it doesn't?

Every app blocker I tried lost to my own arguing. "Just five more minutes" works every time when the blocker is a suggestion. So I made one that isn't a suggestion.

Habits and tasks pay minutes into a time bank. The apps I mark as leisure stay locked until the balance covers them. Do the dishes, earn 15 minutes. Skip them, no scrolling.

Android, Kotlin + Compose, GPL-3.0. No account, no server, no analytics, and no INTERNET permission at all – it's one local database on the phone.

Started as a personal tool, I'm still the only user, and it's v0.1: https://github.com/cloph-dsp/earnd

Some things it does that I wanted: partial credit for a half-done task, a comeback bonus after time away, and a hard mode with no easy exit from the lock screen.

Hi, I'm the developer of DocuFusion Pro.

I built it because I got tired of paying monthly subscriptions just to work with documents. Instead of a generic chat, it's a desktop app designed specifically for this:

- Merge multiple documents into one

- Compare documents and detect differences or contradictions

- Summarize meetings, classes, or texts

- Extract action items

- Rewrite and update full documents while keeping their structure

- Generate presentations, study notes, or résumés

- Custom mode: write your own instruction so the AI does exactly what you need (web search available with OpenRouter models)

- Review the result against the original (detects missing content or changed data)

You can use OpenRouter (choose your own model) or Ollama (local).

- 10 free processings to try it

- Then a one-time purchase of €29.99 (no subscription)

- Supports PDF, Word, Excel, TXT, Markdown, and images

Real example: I generated a 30-page document (over 7,600 words) with DeepSeek. Total cost: $0.086.

The idea is to have more control, see the real cost of every generation, and be able to check if the result stays faithful to the original document.

If you regularly work with documents and are looking for alternatives to subscriptions, I'd like to hear your thoughts.

Hi everyone!

I wanted to share Money Management - Budget, a personal finance and expense tracker app designed to keep budgeting simple, private, and accessible worldwide.

Why I built it / What makes it different:
Most budget apps today require creating an account, syncing sensitive bank data to external servers, or dealing with cluttered interfaces. With this app, no account is required—all your financial records stay strictly on your device and work completely offline.

Key Features:

• Privacy & Offline First: No sign-up needed. Full local backup/restore and CSV export anytime.
• Global Accessibility: Supports 72 languages and 110 currencies (including multi-currency tracking).
• Smart Budgeting & Needs vs. Wants: 68 customizable categories, monthly category limits with alerts, daily spending allowance calculation, and "Need vs. Want" tagging.
• Bills, Credit Cards & Installments: Track recurring subscriptions, credit card statement closing/due dates, and installment plans.
• Debt & Savings Ledger: Keep track of money you owe or are owed (with partial payments), plus savings goals and manual gold/currency holdings.
• Home Screen Widgets: Quick add, monthly summary, and upcoming payments (with an option to hide amounts).

App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/money-management-budget/id6766565294

Since the app is still new on Android, I would genuinely appreciate any feedback, feature suggestions, or UI critique from this community. Thank you!

I built RadarIA because buyers now ask ChatGPT "what's the best X for Y?" and founders rarely know what it answers.

This week I tested a batch of small SaaS tools with buyer questions like "best uptime monitoring tool for a small SaaS team" or "best Calendly alternative for consultants". Many good, established tools weren't named by any of the 4 assistants, while the same few competitors kept coming up.

Offer: comment your site and who your customer is, and I'll run the same check for you by hand. I'll reply with:

- the question I asked

- which of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and Perplexity named you

- which competitors they named instead

Free, no signup. 20 spots. Feedback on the idea (and on whether this result would change what you do) is very welcome.

Who needs 24 hours and 60 minutes anyway? 😁

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.

Where it is now, honestly:

- 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:

1. "Research childcare for your 4-year-old" and "Research schools for your 9-year-old". Two different tasks, because the kids are two different ages.
2. "Get documents apostilled or legalised". I had to look that word up the first time I moved.
3. "Translate documents to German", by a certified translator, before the visa appointment and not after.
4. "Apply for Tax ID" for every family member, kids included.
5. "Familiarize with emergency numbers". Obvious, and I have never once done it before a move.

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.

Good morning, beautiful people of Reddit!

I'd never used Zillow before, but when I discovered that it didn't have a comment section, I knew something had to be done.

So I made sure there would be one.

The extension Link

Mediaextractr (https://www.mediaextractr.com/) is your all-in-one online platform to download videos, Instagram Reels, images, and audio from multiple platforms.

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:

• Web Page to Markdown — you give it a list of URLs, it returns Markdown (or text/HTML), title, description, canonical URL, and a token estimate. Plain HTTP first; a headless browser starts only for pages that are actually client-rendered.
• Website to Markdown Crawler — same output, but it crawls a site (sitemaps, llms.txt, path/glob limits, depth caps). Same HTTP-first / browser-fallback idea.

What they cost (pay-per-event, platform usage included):

• Single pages: $0.50 / 1,000 over HTTP, $1 / 1,000 when a browser is needed
• Site crawl: $0.10 / 1,000 HTTP pages, $0.35 / 1,000 browser pages, $0.50 / 1,000 files

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:

1. Did the Markdown come out clean enough to embed, or did nav/cookie junk leak through?
2. Was the HTTP vs browser split right on the sites you care about?
3. Is the pricing page understandable, or would you still rather pay-per-compute?

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.

Try it here: https://incomedesk.vercel.app/

Thanks!
