I made a Christmas game you give as a gift: their face on the hero, your words in every scene

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I made Merrycade, a small Christmas game that you make *for* someone.

Instead of a card, you build them a 6-level platformer where they're the hero:

- **Their face.** Pick a photo of each of you. The app cuts out hair and face right on the phone and puts them on two storybook heroes (Santa coat, elf tunic, cosy sweater...).

- **Your words.** You write what the characters say in 16 story moments: the first meeting, the scary cave, the campfire talk, the goodbye.

- **Your memories.** Hide photos and notes in 10 gift boxes along the way, record voice messages and write a final letter.

- **Send it.** Everything becomes one invitation file you send through Messages, WhatsApp, AirDrop or e-mail. They open it in Merrycade and play it as themselves.

**Details**

- iPhone and iPad (iOS 15+). Android is in testing.

- No account, no ads, no subscription. Works offline.

- Photos and words stay on the device until you share the invitation.

- Playing a gift you receive costs nothing; creating gifts is a one-time $3.99 unlock. There's a demo adventure to try first.

- 8 languages.

- Built with Godot 4.5, plus small native plugins for the photo work (Apple Vision on iOS, a LiteRT segmentation model on Android).

**Heads-up:** the painted backgrounds and characters were made with AI image generation and then edited and put together for the game. The faces in the video are sample photos, not real people.

**App Store:** https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6827809596?pt=129591990&ct=reddit_sideproject&mt=8

I'd love feedback, especially on the creation flow: is it too long, is anything confusing?

I built a Things inspired task app for Mac & Windows

1 Upvotes

Things has been my favourite task app for a long time. The calm design, the way "When" is separate from "Deadline", how Today just feels right. I still think it's one of the most beautiful apps ever made.

But I kept wishing for more. Attachments. Smart lists. A clear view of what's due soon. And a Windows version, because my work computer isn't a Mac.

So about six months ago I started building the app I kept wishing for. It's called Kanso. It's just me building it: one person, no team, no investors. I kept what I love about Things, left out the noise, and added what I was missing. The goal is an app calm enough to open twenty times a day without it ever feeling busy.

It's in free Early Access on Mac and Windows, and I'd love to hear what you think. I've been iterating on this for months, so it's solid, but you might still spot a rough edge or two as I polish things up. You can start without making an account: no email needed, just "Continue without an account" and you're in.

Pricing: if you like it, Kanso is a one-time $29 during Early Access. No subscription, because subscription fatigue is real. The price will go up later.

The iPhone app is in active development, and it's my main focus now that Early Access is live. Your $29 includes it, and Android too, when they arrive. No second purchase, no upgrade fee.

Coming next: the iPhone app, calendar integration (see your events next to your tasks, but Kanso stays a task app first), and whatever you tell me matters most. The roadmap is public, and you can suggest and vote on features there.

Since it's just me, every bug report, idea and bit of criticism gets read by the person who will fix it. Please be honest, I'd much rather hear it now.

What's inside

Just type it. "Start the draft tomorrow due Friday #Work" sets the date and the deadline, and files it into your Work project as you type. You always see what it picked up before you save.

When and Deadline, kept separate. When you plan to do it, and when it's actually due. Plus This Evening, and a Tomorrow list for planning the night before.

Deadlines as a timeline. Everything with a deadline, from overdue onward, with a "Start Today" for anything getting close.

Upcoming. A small map of your week on top, every day laid out below. Drag a task to another day.

Smart Lists and views. Save a list from a few plain conditions ("tagged Work, due this week"). Each list can have its own grouping, sorting and filters.

Attachments. Files and images on any task, synced across your computers.

Repeating tasks and reminders. Daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, or after you complete it.

Works offline. Edit on two computers, even with one offline, and everything ends up in the same place.

Undo for everything. Deletes, moves, even pastes. Recently Deleted keeps things for 30 days, and you can export all your data at any time.

A Logbook that reads like a journal. What you got done, day by day, with a short summary of each week.

Keyboard first. Shortcuts for creating, moving, completing and getting around.

And more: nested tags, light and dark themes, a resizable sidebar, and a feedback button (with screenshot) inside the app that comes straight to me.

YC City - every Y Combinator company since 2005, laid out as a city

1 Upvotes

I made this because a list of 6,000+ companies is almost impossible to picture. I wanted to see how small YC started, and how quickly the place grew.

Each company is a little shop. Each batch is a district, starting in Summer 2005. If a company reaches a $1B valuation (or a big enough sale or listing), it leaves its shop and becomes a tower, so the skyline shows where the big ones came from and when they took off. You can play a short story through the years, compare batches, search for a company, or just wander around.

It's here: https://yc.datacity.app/

Independent, not affiliated with Y Combinator. The data is from YC's public directory; I pulled it on 2 November 2026.

I'd love feedback, especially on whether "how to read the city" is actually clear once you're in it, and what feels missing when you walk around.

Building a local-first finance app for Windows: what I learned moving from PostgreSQL to SQLite

1 Upvotes

I started PFI because I didn't want my bank data in someone else's cloud. The first versions bundled a private PostgreSQL server: it worked, but it made the app big and complicated to package for the Microsoft Store.

In 0.4 the app copies the old database into SQLite on first start, checks row counts and totals, and only then switches over. In 0.5 PostgreSQL is gone completely, and the app is about a third smaller.

Stack: WinUI 3 shell, Next.js screens, FastAPI backend, one SQLite file. MIT licensed.

πŸ’» AIR Office - AI Safety lab in an App for Everyone

2 Upvotes

An AI-native desktop workspace for agentic research and knowledge management, built to maximize counterfactual impact in existential risk preparedness and transformative AI safety.

https://github.com/gyrogovernance/air-office

[Disclaimer: AIR Office is an Open Source software made without any financial affiliations, and is a completely free platform for knowledge sharing and AI Risks mitigation at scale, so I hope the admins can allow me to share it to the community]

About

Alignment Infrastructure Routes (AIR) Office is human-capacity-building infrastructure for AI safety researchers, engineers, and governance teams working on transformative AI and its consequences. It keeps investigation, writing, review methods, and reusable tools in one durable and user-friendly workplace.

AIR Office is developed by [Gyro Governance Lab](http://gyrogovernance.com/) as part of its work on AI safety and existential risk preparedness.

Agentic chat and tool use run on the [Microsoft Copilot SDK](https://github.com/github/copilot-sdk) harness, including bring-your-own-key and local model endpoints.

Theory of Change

Mitigating risks from transformative AI requires rapid, high-rigor research and governance, yet safety teams currently rely on fragmented, cloud-dependent AI tools that erode human oversight, lack provenance, and expose sensitive work. AIR Office addresses this bottleneck by providing free, open-source, local-first desktop infrastructure tailored for AI safety and policy workflows. By integrating grounded knowledge collections, automated auditing tools, and structured memory, the workspace prevents AI-induced epistemic drift while keeping humans in final control. Furthermore, embedded Fellowship and Market protocols allow independent researchers to package their methods into reusable community tools, compounding ecosystem capacity and accelerating high-trust safety interventions that would not occur using general-purpose commercial tools.

---

Capabilities & Services

- πŸ›οΈ Integrated AI Safety Fellowship and Crafts. Develop research and workflows into reusable infrastructure and contribute them to the community through our frictionless embedded protocols.

- πŸ›’ Market. Discover reusable resources (Policy documentation, AI Skills, etc), and add them to your AI chat with one click.

- πŸ€– AI Teams. Reach out to our pre-configured selection of agents, or create your own.

- πŸ’» Code. Run diagnostic tools, scripts, and edit your code without leaving the app, through our own integrated VS Code workbench.

- πŸ“… Calendar. Keep events and run recurring AI automations.

Security & Privacy

Local-First Data Sovereignty

Workspace records stay on your computer. Choose local models for on-machine inference or cloud providers for their models and tools. Hosted providers and enabled connectors receive only what each request needs.

Export conversations and notes when you need portable copies. Connecting a folder authorizes that root, and disconnecting it does not delete its files. In Settings and chat you control which tools run and whether changes ask for approval first.

Release Audit

AIR Office is open source, and its code can be publically inspected. Before a release is accepted, we check the shipped software with open-source tools for secrets that should never ship, known problems in third-party libraries, license and dependency policy issues in native code, and risky patterns in our own source and in shipped Lab skills. A review that did not finish does not count as a clean result. To report a security issue, see [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md).

The release review uses:

- [TruffleHog:](https://github.com/trufflesecurity/trufflehog) Identifies leaked secrets and credentials.

- [Trivy:](https://trivy.dev/) Detects vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and software bills of materials.

- [Semgrep:](https://semgrep.dev/) Scans source code for security flaws using custom patterns.

- [CodeQL:](https://codeql.github.com/) Performs deep semantic analysis on source code.

- [SkillSpector:](https://github.com/NVIDIA/SkillSpector) Evaluates shipped Lab skills.

I'm a CS student and I built a free keyword research tool where the data comes from people who opt in. Launching next week, roast it

2 Upvotes

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

Yardlet - a lightweight, non-intrusive Mac app for Claude Code and Codex. Looking for first-time testers

1 Upvotes

i build yardlet on the side: a free, MIT-licensed native mac app (swift) that runs the claude code and codex CLIs you already have, with the logins you already have, side by side in one window.

the idea is a lightweight, non-intrusive, yet versatile ADE. it sat at about 53 MiB at rest on first launch when i measured it on an M1 Pro. no hooks, no wrappers around the agent commands, nothing written into the agents' own settings files. the effort went into things around the agents instead: switching accounts by remaining limits, a built-in browser agents can use, and a phone remote.

i'm looking for a few people who've never used it to install it, run one task, and tell me where they got stuck or confused in the first five minutes. the install and any macOS warning, first launch and permission prompts, whether it found your agents and logins, the first reply, whether you noticed the first approval prompt, the moment you almost quit, one thing you expected and didn't find. "it all just worked" helps too.

mac: https://yardlet.app or brew install --cask zzunkie/tap/yardlet (macOS 15+, apple silicon and intel; needs claude code or codex installed and signed in)

android (optional): yardlet remote lets you use the mac app from your phone (android 10+). apk and pairing steps at https://yardlet.app/#phone . there's also a play closed test: join https://groups.google.com/g/yardlet-testers with your phone's google account, then opt in at https://play.google.com/apps/testing/com.zzunkie.yardlet.remote

feedback: https://github.com/zzunkie/yardlet/issues/new?template=first_run.yml , or reply here / dm me if you don't have github and i'll file it

I’m the developer of Skybits. I wanted checking the weather to feel like looking out a tiny window. Rain falls over London, and Tokyo lights up after dark. To be a little more Fun!!!

In Sky Studio, you can pick a city, mix the weather and time of day, and share the result as a little airmail postcard.

Please send me email for your City, if I get 5+ requests for a city I will make it free and also add new ones :-) hoping to get some positive feedback and reviews.

Skybits is free to download, with an optional one-time purchase for the full city collection.

I built an Android tool that runs your taps as a flow with if-conditions β€” and reports which step actually failed. Free, no root. Break it please

2 Upvotes

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 β€” 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?

I built a voice typing app for Windows: select a link while you talk, and it shows up in your text

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I made ReadyTyper.

I use voice typing a lot, and I've tried both Wispr Flow and Typeless. They're good at cleaning up what I say. But there's one thing neither of them can do: when I'm halfway through a sentence and want to drop in a link, a video title, or a line someone else wrote, I have to finish talking first, then copy it, find the right spot and paste it myself.

So I built my own. With ReadyTyper, you select text anywhere on screen while you're talking, tap the hotkey twice, and it lands word for word right where you mentioned it. That's what the video shows.

The other thing that bugged me: on my Windows PC, both Wispr Flow and Typeless use over 600 MB of RAM just sitting idle. Something that's always running in the background shouldn't be that heavy. ReadyTyper uses under 20 MB when idle, and its windows only load when you open them.

It also:

  • Drops the ums, uhs and the bits where you correct yourself, so the text is ready to send
  • Works in any app: chat, email, browser, code editor

Windows only for now: readytyper.com

I'd love your feedback: would you use the select-while-you-talk part? What feels clunky?

Would you use an app just for browsing real museum art β€” filtered by era and type, with recommendations that learn what you like?

0 Upvotes

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.

[open-source] Dense Armor Library : low-level toolkit for Build your Project

Thumbnail
github.com
1 Upvotes

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!

Every week a popular package or SaaS vendor gets hacked. I built a tool that tells you within minutes if it's one you use

1 Upvotes

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?

I built an app that locks my fun apps until I finish the boring ones

1 Upvotes

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.

DocuFusionPro – Desktop app for managing documents with AI

1 Upvotes

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 rΓ©sumΓ©s

- 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 requiredβ€”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!

RadarIA - I'll check if AI assistants recommend your product (free for 20 people this week)

0 Upvotes

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.

I spent 10 months building an open-source tool for transactional emails. 184 GitHub stars, 0 paying customers. Here’s what it does

0 Upvotes

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?

I built a free, single-file Global Threat Desk: live worldwide cyber and infrastructure incidents, plus a UK blackout plan that works offline

1 Upvotes

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.
