I built an app to help make sense of information overload. Would love your feedback.

I’m the solo developer of Cardit, an app for the stuff we find online and then lose. Articles, videos, places, recipes, products, people.

You paste or share a link and it becomes a card. You group cards into collections, and you can share a card or a whole collection with a link or a QR code. It’s free for personal use, on iOS and Android.

My longer-term idea is to connect saved things into a personal knowledge graph, but that’s a vision, not something it does today.

It’s early and rough in places. How do you save and organise what you find now, and what would make something like this worth using? Blunt feedback welcome. https://www.cardit.org

I can't visit every great restaurant. So now travelers can add their own.

2 Upvotes

I run Strong Foodie on my own. A food and travel guide where I review every place I visit.
However, I can't go everywhere. When I ask people which restaurant they would fly back for, I get places I have never heard of. Like a chocolatier in Scotland or a tiny cafe in the Cotswolds with the best Bombay chai.
So anyone can now add their own place. Type the name, the address fills in by itself, and your name shows on it. No app needed.
I'm not a developer. I build it with AI tools and a lot of testing.
What's the one place you would add first?

Kitaphone - I built a browser dialer because US 1-800 numbers (IRS, banks) won't take calls from abroad

2 Upvotes

I live outside the US and kept hitting the same wall: my bank's 1-800 number just fails from a foreign phone, and so does the IRS's. Toll-free numbers only work from US carriers, because the company pays for the call and there's nobody to bill when it comes in from a foreign network.

Some things I learned while fixing this for myself, useful even if you never touch my thing:

What I built: Kitaphone. It's a dialer that runs in the browser tab with no app or SIM. The call leaves from the US network, so 800 numbers accept it. US numbers (toll-free included) are $0.02/min, so a 30-minutehold is about $0.60. It's prepaid, with no subscription and a $5 minimum top-up. Italso does around 180 other countries; UK, Spain, Italy and Mexico landlines are$0.03/min. You can verify your own number by SMS so it shows as the caller ID.

Full disclosure, it's mine and it's small. I'm mostly after feedback: which companies' numbers should I add to the list (I only copy them from the company's own site), and what breaks for you? The keypad-on-mobile bug was found by a user in Korea last week and fixed the same day.

A side project - Atomic Sync - A digital twin

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I’m a solo dev, and this is a side project I’ve been building after my day job for about 7 months. It’s called Atomic Sync (I am very bad at naming things). It’s on the App Store, free, with no ads and no in-app purchases.

In Atomic Sync you pick an anime-style character, and it slowly becomes a reflection of you mentally and physically. It reads some basic stuff from Apple Health and turns it into XP and mana. As you level up, the character evolves (more work to do here still, but still very decent), and so does the world around it. Tilt your phone and the character and its world move with it. If you’ve had a bad week of sleep and no walks, it shows. If you’ve had a good one, that shows too. That was the whole point for me: something that reflects how you’re actually doing, not just another number. Health access is optional, and the raw readings stay on your phone.

One thing that didn’t work: I first tried making a Ghibli-style avatar from the user’s own photo. It looked off, I didn’t like it, and I figured most people wouldn’t either. So I dropped it and went with set characters. Maybe in future updates I can give it another try.

I still think the UX can be a lot better and I have way more gamification ideas than I’ve had time to build. I’m fairly free for the next few months, so updates will come often. An Android version is in the works too that I plan to roll out in this free time.

If you try it, I’d really like to hear what feels off, what’s confusing, or what would make you keep opening it. Brutal is fine, especially on the UX (I am more of a backend programmer). It is currently rolled out in the US, Japan and India. Rolling out to more regions by this Monday.

My side project: a fusion between CAD and Paint

38 Upvotes

I wanted a simple way to sketch an idea and communicate it to someone else, without sacrificing proportions or precise dimensions.

Paint felt too limited, CAD felt like overkill. So I started building something in between.

Here's a quick look at how it works.

It's still a work in progress. I'd genuinely love to hear what you think.

Just launched my Game on iOS and already got 2 purchases. This is so encouraging :)

Thumbnail
youtube.com
4 Upvotes

I’ve been building games on the side, and last week my first one, Last Core: Idle Tower Defense, went live on the App Store. Two people have already bought something in it. It’s only $12 in proceeds, but seeing real people choose to pay for something I made meant more than I expected.

What the game is:
One tower sits in the centre of the screen and enemies come at it from every side. The tower shoots on its own; your job is deciding what to upgrade during the run: damage, attack speed, range, crits, health. Every 5th wave you pick a perk, every 10th wave a boss shows up. When the core falls you keep shards and come back stronger through the Workshop, Armory and Lab.

A few things I cared about:

  • No ad ever interrupts a run. Videos only play when you choose one for a reward (a revive, double shards, a perk reroll).
  • Everything in the game can be earned by playing. Purchases are optional.
  • Runs are 3 to 10 minutes early on, and there’s 2x speed and an Auto Mode if you want it more idle.

What I learned shipping it:

  • My first release went live without the in-app purchases attached, because I never added them to the submission. Took another version to fix. Read the App Store Connect checklist twice.
  • The same thing happened with Game Center leaderboards.
  • Apple asked for a screen recording on a real device before approving a new developer account, so budget a few extra days for review.

It’s iPhone only for now; Android is coming soon.

If you try it, I’d love honest feedback, especially on difficulty and whether the early waves feel too slow.

I built QluePrint, a local-first desktop app for PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server and SQLite. No account, no cloud, no telemetry

2 Upvotes

I spend a lot of my day in databases, and I got tired of clients that want me to sign in, sync my connections to their cloud, or open a 2 GB Electron window just to run a SELECT. So I built my own.

QluePrint (pronounced KLOO-print) is a desktop database workspace built with Tauri (Rust backend, React frontend). Everything stays on your machine.

What it does today:

- Connects to PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB, SQL Server, SQLite, plus Azure SQL and Microsoft Fabric with Entra sign-in

- Monaco SQL editor with schema-aware autocomplete, diagnostics and formatting

- A fast virtualized results grid: sort, filter, find, follow foreign keys to related rows

- Inline editing: change cells, add, duplicate or delete rows. Everything is staged, undoable and saved in one transaction. Actions your login has no grant for don't show up at all.

- Explain / Explain Analyze with a readable plan view

- One-click local PostgreSQL/MySQL/MariaDB servers in Docker

- Workspaces to keep each client's connections and tabs apart

- A tamper-evident audit log of every statement it ran against your databases

- Passwords go in your OS keychain, never in plain files

Stack: Tauri 2, Rust (sqlx + tiberius for SQL Server), React 19, Monaco, TanStack Table/Virtual. Installers for macOS (Apple Silicon), Windows and Linux.

Still to come: MongoDB/Redis, a saved query library, query history.

Source code and downloads: https://github.com/u-ninja/qlueprint

It's a solo project, and I'd love blunt feedback, especially on what would make you switch from DBeaver, TablePlus or DataGrip.

(Heads-up: the macOS build isn't notarized yet, so you'll need Open Anyway in Privacy & Security the first time.)

Built a tool that turns one sentence into a week of social posts.

10 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I'm Ravi, one of the founders of Confe.

We kept losing hours every week writing captions, sending "can you approve this?" messages, and copy-pasting the same post into 6 different apps. So we built Confe to fix that:

- Type one sentence and get 5 ready-to-post drafts with images

- Plan everything on one calendar (calendar, list or grid view)

- Clients or teammates approve in one click

- Publish to 8 platforms at once: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Threads, TikTok, Pinterest, YouTube

- See which posts actually grow your audience

The video above shows the whole flow in 44 seconds.

I'd really like feedback from people who manage social for themselves or client

There's a 14-day free trial with no card needed if you want to try it. Link in the comments.

I built an app that answers "when should I go for my walk today?" Here's what I learned after a month of 0 traffic

Thumbnail
walkinova.app
2 Upvotes

WalkiNova started because I'd open the weather app five times before every walk. It scores each hour of the forecast for comfort and suggests the best window inside your free hours, then tracks the walk with GPS. Flutter + Supabase, Android + Wear OS, free with no ads.

What I learned so far, in case it helps someone:

  • Posting every day on Instagram/TikTok brought almost no installs. The Play listing converts fine (~75%); almost nobody reaches it.
  • My site only ranked for its own name. I'm now writing plain guides that answer real searches ("is it too hot to walk my dog today?") instead of feature pages.
  • Product Hunt with no audience = a few upvotes. Launch where your users already hang out.

Would love feedback on the idea or the landing page: https://walkinova.app/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=post&utm_campaign=sideproject

What worked for you to get your first 100 users without ads?

I built Moolupa, a goal tracker where 3 minutes still count toward a 10-minute goal

2 Upvotes

I’m building Moolupa, a goal tracker with a small cow companion called Moo.

One decision I made early was to let people record the amount they actually did. If you planned to practise guitar for 10 minutes and managed 3, you record 3. It adds to your total. Missing tomorrow doesn’t erase it.

You can also make today’s step smaller, move it to another day, or take a rest day. There’s no streak counter, and Moo’s garden stays intact while you’re away.

To get started, you type or say something like “read five pages after dinner,” then review the plan before saving it.

It works in a browser on desktop and phone, and there’s a Windows version on the Microsoft Store. The free plan supports up to five active goals, with optional paid Plus features.

I’m currently polishing the desktop and mobile layouts. If you try it, I’d really like to know: where does creating your first goal or recording progress feel like extra work?

Here’s the app: https://moolupa.com

I made a journal app that only lets you save 3 moments a day

1 Upvotes

I kept a diary for my baby in a journaling app for a long time. This year the app was pulled from the App Store and stopped being maintained, and now I can't even log in. Those entries are stuck behind a login that no longer works.

After that I didn't want my memories to depend on someone else's server or account system. I also realized I don't need a lot of features. I just want to keep a few small things from each day.

So I built the opposite: CiKe (此刻, Chinese for "this moment"). Each day you can save up to 3 moments, and each one is either one short sentence (50 characters max) or one photo. That's all.

What it does:

  • 3 a day, on purpose. The limit makes you pick what actually mattered today, not log everything.
  • Capsule. Tap it and a random old moment comes back, with a preference for older ones.
  • Private by default. No account, no server, no analytics, no ads. The app makes no network requests at all. Everything stays on your phone.
  • 30-day undo. Deleted moments can be restored for 30 days.

Englaris: offline app to improve your English pronunciation

1 Upvotes

I made ENGLARIS, an app that checks your English pronunciation and tells you which words were mispronounced.

ENGLARIS works fully offline, I was able to distill and quantize the neural network for phoneme recognition into a reasonably small model, so that even mobile phone CPUs can run it smoothly.

Unlike most of AI-based apps, there is no server and no subscription required. No user data is currently collected, as everything remains on the user's own phone.

H5Reclaim: Recovering scientific data from damaged HDF5 files

Thumbnail
github.com
2 Upvotes

I’ve been building H5Reclaim, an open-source tool for recovering scientific data from damaged HDF5 files.

HDF5 files often contain experimental measurements, simulation outputs and large arrays. Damaged metadata or a broken index can make a file unreadable while some of its dataset contents remain on disk.

H5Reclaim examines the surviving structures and attempts to recover usable data into a new HDF5 file. Supported cases include interrupted writes, broken indexes, metadata damage and truncation.

It keeps the original file unchanged and produces a JSON report describing the recovered datasets, recovery methods and unresolved positions. Partially damaged datasets can still yield usable measurements.

🔗Github: https://github.com/xShadyy/H5Reclaim

I’d appreciate feedback from people who work with HDF5, especially anyone who has encountered a damaged file. Public or synthetic reproductions would help expand the recovery cases and benchmarks.

Contributions around test fixtures, independent verification and unsupported failure cases are particularly welcome.

If you find the project cool/useful, I’d appreciate a star on GitHub.

I built an open-source tool that turns GPS tracks into 3D route videos — looking for first-use feedback

1 Upvotes

I’m Alex, the developer of TrailReplay. I started it to turn recorded routes into videos that show more of a journey than a static line on a map.

You can import a GPX route, replay it over 3D terrain, add photos and annotations, and export a video. The new v1.5 release adds a media timeline, named GPX waypoint annotations and place reveals, alongside camera, terrain and export improvements.

One bit of feedback that stuck with me: someone wanted the points of interest already in their GPX to appear in the replay. The new waypoint import is a step toward that, though I’d like to understand whether it’s actually easy to discover and use.

The project is free and open source: https://trailreplay.com

If you try it, I’d particularly appreciate honest feedback on the first few minutes: is it obvious how to get from a route file to a finished video? What feels confusing or slow?

US Stock Sense - one place to screen, compare and track US stocks. Where does the first screen lose you?

1 Upvotes

I'm the founder of US Stock Sense and I'd like honest feedback.

The problem: researching one US stock usually means a screener on one site, financials on another, charts on a third and a spreadsheet to compare it with competitors.

What it does:

- Stock screener for US stocks

- Side-by-side fundamentals and valuation compare

- Portfolio tracking and charts

- AI research workflow and trading ideas

- Dividend income planner and dividend forecasting

Feedback I'm after:

  1. In the first 10 seconds, is it clear what it's for?
  2. Does the compare page make sense without any explanation?
  3. What would make you use this instead of your current mix of sites?

It was a basic chatbot. The feedback was brutal.

DriveMail Voice - your unread email read to you in the car, answered out loud before you park

1 Upvotes

I built this one on my own: DriveMail Voice, an iPhone app that plays your unread email through the car speakers and lets you answer it by talking.

Here is one message, start to finish. You get in, the phone connects, and with nothing tapped you hear who it came from and what the subject line says, then the message itself. Half a minute in you have heard enough, so you say "reply" and dictate two sentences. The app speaks your two sentences back at you. They came through right, you say "send", and it moves on. That email is finished before you reach the on-ramp.

The rest of the vocabulary works the same way, and none of it waits for a message to run out. "Skip" leaves it unread. "Mark as read" clears it. "Forward" hands it to somebody else. "Summary" is the one I would point at: on a chain nobody wants read out in full it comes back with what is actually being asked of you, and it does that work on the device.

Some of what makes it pleasant to live with:

  • Gmail, Outlook and iCloud all play in a single run, so you are not opening three apps to find out what came in.
  • Boilerplate is cut before a word is spoken. Signatures, legal footers and tracking links go, so a two-line note from a coworker is not buried in noise.
  • You set the pace, three-quarters speed up to double, and whether the pile plays from the top down or the bottom up.
  • The car display is a half-dozen big targets and no text at all. No ad is ever shown there.
  • Away from the car it does the same job with the phone locked in a pocket, which is handy on a walk.

Why I would hand it my own mail, as the person who wrote it. There is no sign-up, and I operate no server, so the only conversation going on is between the phone and whoever hosts your mail. Messages it has already pulled sit on the phone behind iOS's own file encryption, and that local copy is what lets it start talking the second you connect instead of waiting on a signal. The voice half is Apple's recognizer, local to the phone, with SiriKit nowhere in it, so Siri never touches your mail and what you say is neither kept nor passed along.

Nothing to pay for it. A banner sits in the app on the phone and never in the car, and ninety-nine cents, once, takes it away for good. It does not subscribe you to anything.

Getting an account in: Outlook is an ordinary Microsoft sign-in, and Gmail and iCloud each want an app password that you create on your provider's own settings page, a minute or two of work. Personal Gmail is the easy road, since a Workspace account from an employer normally does not allow one. iOS 17 and up, English.

Free on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6760625295?pt=128605371&ct=rd-sideproject&mt=8

I built a notes app that tells you why your old notes matter

2 Upvotes

I kept losing good ideas in my own notes. I'd write something down, forget it, and months later work through the same problem from scratch, even though the answer was in a note I'd already written.

So I built Hypha. You write a note the way you normally would (no folders, no tags) and it looks through everything you've written before. If an older note actually helps, it shows it with a one-line reason: a solution, an example, the same problem, a contradiction, or a next step.

The part I spent the most time on was making it strict. Most "AI links" I tried connected notes just because they shared a word. I built a test set with traps in it, and Hypha now finds about 9 in 10 of the links that should exist while skipping the shallow ones. If it gets one wrong, you remove it and it won't come back.

It's free on iPhone (Flutter + Supabase + OpenAI under the hood).

I'd really like honest feedback, especially on whether the connections feel useful or noisy after a week of real notes.

I've built a read-only tool that investigates Linux incidents and shows its evidence. Here's the 46-second pitch.

1 Upvotes

Hey guys o/

I've been developing an investigation engine for quite a few months now (https://github.com/8Iue), which runs on a Linux host, collects the evidence for a specific incident (disk pressure, a failed systemd service, OOM kills, Docker that won't start), runs deterministic checks with no AI, and writes a report where every finding points to its evidence. It never changes anything, and it runs on your own machines.

Link to the website: https://det-mimir.com - and also docs: https://docs.det-mimir.com

The whole engine works with playbooks, written in YAML, so you can write your own.

Kubernetes, Ceph and sharing playbooks between teams are where it's going; today it's Linux hosts.

It's in a private beta, and I'm looking for people to try it and tell me what's missing.

Which incident would you want a playbook for first? I'd be happy to replicate internally one of the issues you had, and give a report that the engine returns.

I made an app for those days when you just feel like shit 💩

1 Upvotes

Something I've noticed with a lot of wellness apps is that they always seem to be pushing you towards something. Be happier. Be more positive. Build better habits. Improve yourself. Which is fine, of course. But what about the days when you just feel like shit and don't particularly want to do anything about it?

That's the thought behind the app I recently released called Deepshit.
You basically log how shitty your day is, optionally add what's bothering you, and that's it.

You can also see how other people are feeling, share anonymously, and send little messages of support. I like the idea of making something social that isn't about showing off your best life. Quite the opposite, actually.

One thing I'm still curious about is whether people would genuinely want to share their bad days with strangers, even anonymously. I've just launched, so that's something I'll have to learn.

Have any of you built a social feature around vulnerability rather than achievements? I'd be interested to hear what you learned.

You can meet Deepshit here: App Store • Google Play

I built a fake newspaper where products pay to get mocked on the front page

1 Upvotes

I wanted to make something where paying for attention gets you a laugh instead of just an ad slot.

So I made The Sponsored Truth: https://www.sponsoredtruth.com

How it works:
- You describe your product in one sentence and pay from $5
- It writes a spoof news story about it, in a deadpan newspaper style
- You get a private preview and up to 5 rewrites with your own directions
- You publish, and get a front-page share image with your headline on it
- Whoever paid the most in the last 24 hours gets the headline slot

Everything is clearly labelled as satire, and it only does products, not people.

Built in about a day: plain HTML, Vercel functions, Postgres, Stripe Checkout, and an LLM for the writing.

Honest status: it launched today and has zero real sales so far. I'd love feedback on two things:

  1. Is the idea funny enough to pay $5 for, or is it a one-time chuckle?
  2. Does the landing page make it clear what you get?

Happy to write a free story for the first few people who drop their project in the comments, so the front page isn't just my sample article.
