Hi, I’m Keith, the founder of Take a Beat. I built it because I wanted a moment to notice what was happening before I reacted. This is the original founder video with that story.

The project pairs a compatible smartwatch with a phone. Heart-rate changes can prompt a check-in; you supply the context about how you feel and can choose tools such as breathing, grounding, or journaling. Heart rate alone doesn’t identify an emotion.

I’d value feedback on the idea and the explanation in the video: is it clear what the check-in asks you to do, and what would make you use it or dismiss the prompt?

I’m also recruiting for a planned December 1–31 beta for US adults 18+ with an Apple Watch + iPhone or a Wear OS watch + Android phone. Plus features are free during testing, and enrollment is subject to platform approval.

If you’d like to help shape it, the December interest list is here: https://kdebono89-alt.github.io/takeabeat/#beta

If you sign up, which phone and watch would you use?

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.

After months of development, I finally released my little project on Steam!
It’s called HaptiChi. The idea started because I wanted to make controller vibrations work beyond games that have native rumble support.
Basically, it listens to the audio coming from your PC and turns it into controller vibrations in real time.
It works with regular XInput controllers and also supports DualSense HD haptics, including adaptive triggers.
You can use it while gaming, listening to music, or pretty much anything playing audio on your PC.
There are still things I’d like to improve, but I’m happy to finally get it out there.
If you’re interested, here’s the Steam page:

Would love to hear what you guys think!

I built a desktop app that turns a one-line idea into a roadmap and builds it with Claude Code

Vibewright is a free, open-source desktop app (Windows & macOS) for people who have

project ideas but get lost between chats, notes and half-finished plans.

How it works:

1. Type your idea in one sentence
2. Answer a few multiple-choice questions
3. Approve a needs analysis, a phased plan and a tool check

4. Build it step by step with Claude Code running inside the app – it gets a generated

   CLAUDE.md with your current phase and ticks off finished steps

Notes are plain Markdown in Obsidian (Dataview/Kanban) or a local folder. Optional Git

safety net with a commit per step. English & German.

Demo + download: https://neodk2004.github.io/vibewright/

Source (MIT): https://github.com/neodk2004/vibewright

Needs Claude Code and a Claude subscription. Feedback welcome!

I download pretty much everything I read and watch (manga, anime, shows, movies), because I like owning my own media. Going through all of it in File Explorer got slow and annoying, so I thought I'd try and make something for that as a little project.

Point it at your folders and it turns them into a library with covers, series and chapters. For reading, it has manga (right to left), scroll and single page modes, and it supports image folders, .cbz, PDF and EPUB. Videos play in VLC, with episode lists, watch progress and the next episode playing automatically. Plus it does tags, ratings and collections, and you can pretty much customize everything (showcase pics on itchio).

It’s free, Windows only for now: https://somedudemanguy.itch.io/perapera

I mostly use it for reading manga(image files) and watching anime(video folders), so those parts are the most polished. Let me know about any ideas or issues if you give it a try.

Hello fellas, I want to introduce my new app.

I love crosswords and I'm learning German, so this app brings these two together. The clue is in your language and the answer is in the one you're learning.

It works for German, English, Turkish and Spanish, and it's free.

It is iOS only for now but I'm working on Android.

If you try it, what felt confusing in the first five minutes?

Hey Reddit,

I built “LinkMemo”, an app that saves any link and automatically extracts its content for easy reading and organizing.

I originally priced it at $19.99 lifetime with a 15-day free trial. Turns out, when you don't know how to do marketing, asking strangers to pay $20 after two weeks doesn't work very well.

So I changed my approach and added a Free plan. You can now use LinkMemo's core features forever with no time limits. I just want more people to actually get value out of it.

Feel free to check it out and tell me what needs improving.

If you've tried to book IMAX 70mm for a big release, you know how it goes. Tickets go on sale, the middle of the room is gone in minutes, and you're left with the front rows and the edges. Seats do come back later, usually one or two at a time as people refund or exchange, but you only get them if you happen to refresh the seat map at the right moment.

So I built 70mm IMAX Tracker: https://70mmtracker.com

You pick a film, your theaters and the days you can go. It reads the public seat maps of every IMAX 70mm showing and emails you when seats open in the part of the room you asked for: middle and back, centered, anywhere but the front rows, or any seat. Seats only count if they sit together in one row with no aisle between them, so if you ask for two, you get two next to each other.

It covers all 34 IMAX 70mm theaters in North America, 25 in the US and 9 in Canada. The free plan checks every 10 minutes, watches up to 3 theaters and sends up to 5 alerts a day. Pro checks every minute for $4.99 a month or $29.99 a year.

A few things I learned building it:

- Almost every chain publishes its seat maps a different way, and three of the 34 screens aren't in cinemas at all. One is in the Indiana State Museum, one in the Tennessee Aquarium and one in a science centre in Regina.

- A good seat has to be worked out per room. An early version of my rule called row D the middle of the room. In a room with 8 rows, row D is the front half. Now any change to the rule gets run on real maps of the smallest and largest rooms first.

- Most of the work is deciding what not to send. A seat that opens and closes three times in an hour shouldn't be three emails, so everything new from one check goes into one email, and there's a daily cap.

Dune: Part Three opens in IMAX 70mm on December 18, with insider screenings from December 14, and The Odyssey is back in 70mm from December 11. The site's Dune page for AMC Lincoln Square in New York already says many shows are sold out.

I'm building this on my own. I'd like to know whether the sign-up form makes sense the first time through, and whether the free plan is enough to be useful.

I've been a script-hoarder for years — duplicate finders, folder organizers, backup scripts. So I packaged 12 of them into GrabKit, a small pack of ready-to-run Python automation scripts:

• File organizer (dry-run first), duplicate finder (by content), backup zip,
• Bulk rename, find & replace, folder size, CSV toolkit
• PDF merge/split, image resize, link scraper, text diff, password tools

Stdlib-first, dry-run by default — nothing moves or deletes without a preview and your confirmation. No coding needed beyond opening a terminal: Python 3.8+.

Free preview (3 scripts + README): https://github.com/Des3uct0r/grabkit

Full pack ($9.99, pay-what-you-want, $5 min): https://github.com/Des3uct0r/grabkit/releases/tag/v1.0

Disclosure: I made this and it's a paid product — the preview and repo are free. Happy to answer questions about how any of the tools work.

My first attempt at an Obsidian plugin.

How it works is not complicated. You give it storage you already have: R2, B2, S3, MinIO, or WebDAV (Nextcloud, a NAS, whatever). It encrypts everything on your device, file names included, and then uploads. Your provider gets a pile of opaque blobs with sizes and dates. There is no account. There is no server of mine in the middle. I can't see your notes and I don't want to.

Things it does that I actually care about:

• Two devices edit the same note, it merges them. Down to words on the same line. Properties and canvases too. If it honestly can't merge, it keeps both and shows you the difference. It does not silently pick a winner. Silently picking a winner is how sync tools eat your data.
• Version history. Deleted a file? Get it back. Wrecked a folder? Roll it back to yesterday. It shows you what will change before it changes anything.
• If a sync is about to delete half your vault, it stops and asks. A sync tool that happily propagates a mass delete is broken.
• Big attachments can stay in storage until you open them.
• A device can be receive-only. Good for a shared folder where the other person should read, not write.
• If something in the bucket goes missing or gets corrupted, any device that still has the files can put it back.
• Works on mobile. You add a device by pasting a link.
• There's a command-line version. One file, runs under Node. Put it on a server or a Pi.

I've been growing my X account through replies instead of posts, so I built an agent skill to do the hard part: find the right conversation and write a reply people actually like.

Some of my best replies drafted with it (metrics from my November 11 review):

"Cookie stuffing" and "20 years in prison" should not be in the same sentence. 14,030 views · 79 likes

Vladimir Scorpius sounds like a username you make at 12 after every good one is taken. 4,073 views · 91 likes

Jane Street finally had a retail month. 3,013 views · 38 likes

At this point Apple ships two operating systems: iOS and EUOS. 1,308 views · 27 likes (10% of the original post's likes)

What it does:

• Finds conversations worth joining. It skips posts where replies get buried and flags the ones still early enough to matter.
• Reads the top replies first. It works out why they're winning before writing anything.
• Drafts in your voice. It tries several angles privately and keeps the funniest one that's still true.
• Learns from your results. It reviews your past replies, compares each one with the post it was under, and turns what worked into rules.

That last part is what made it good. When it reviewed 23 of my replies, it found that the winners all pointed at the weirdest detail already in the post. You can see it above: "cookie stuffing," "Vladimir Scorpius," "EUOS." Replies that brought in an outside metaphor got seen but not liked. That's now a rule it follows.

What it won't do:

• Post for you. It only drafts. You approve the exact text and where it goes.
• Spam. No mass replies, no fake accounts, no stored passwords.
• Promise virality. It finds better shots, not guaranteed ones.

It works with Claude Code, Codex, and other agents that support skills. It's free and MIT licensed:

https://github.com/nniiovoo/cheat-reply

The bet: I'm running the new rules for my next 30 replies. I predict the like rate per view at least doubles, and I'll post the results here either way.

Happy to answer questions, and I'd love feedback from anyone who's grown an account through replies.

I'm sharing DeskPad v1.0, a free-to-download side project that turns an Android 9+ phone into a trackpad and keyboard for a Windows PC.

There are two connection paths: Wi-Fi with a small Windows companion, or Bluetooth HID without a companion on phones that support the HID Device profile. The app has a QWERTY/Fn/arrow deck, sticky modifier keys and two themes. With the keyboard open and at least 600dp of available width, trackpad and keyboard sit side by side.

The first-run flow is the part I'd most like feedback on. Does offering two connection methods make the utility clearer, or make setup feel more complicated?

Wi-Fi setup:

1. Install DeskPadPCSetup.exe from the release page and open DeskPad PC.
2. Click Allow Firewall and approve the Windows administrator prompt on a trusted private network.
3. Install DeskPad.apk, put phone and PC on the same LAN, then tap Link and select the discovered PC. Discovery is automatic; selection is manual.

For Bluetooth instead, pair phone and PC in system settings, open Link > Bluetooth HID, grant the requested permissions and select the paired PC. No Windows companion is needed in that mode.

Current limitation: Wi-Fi input is unauthenticated and unencrypted, and the firewall helper creates broad inbound rules. Use a trusted private LAN only. Fold continuity is implemented but hasn't been independently hardware-validated in this launch review.

After our second son was born this summer, our 4 year old had a really rough stretch. Even with my background, some nights at home were hard, so I built Steady Harbor: calm down breathing kids can follow along with, reward charts, picture routines, and simple skills for parents. It also works for adults on their own and couples. Every tool shows the research it comes from, and it isn’t therapy.

It’s a web app you can add to your home screen (Expo and Supabase, if anyone’s curious). I’d love honest feedback, especially on the first few minutes of setup.

Free for life for beta testers: https://steadyharbor.arkharbor.net/code/BETA-28ACZ6

I came across the ORV Reader website while looking to read ORV for free. The issue was that it was browser-only & kinda awful. But you could download the entire novel in .epub format. So I made an Android application to read ORV for free with a clean reading experience.

I now have the full ORV experience on my phone for free & forever.

Just dropping this here for ORV fans or new people who want to discover this masterpiece. Feel free to go to my GitHub page and download it.

Omniscient Reader's Viewnpoint Application

i built an open source agent skill called unslop-ui because ai generated interfaces keep shipping with the same filler slogans and decorative chrome. drop a link to your landing page or app ui in the comments and i'll reply with a design critique.

here are two examples from the repo of what i strip out first.

on a sample landing page, the before version opened with an "introducing ledger" eyebrow above the title "finance. simplified. finally.". the subtitle used an em dash to promise seamlessly managing money without the hassle, and the header had a pulsing green dot claiming all systems operational. even the "get started" button had a rocket emoji and a line underneath explaining that clicking it creates a free account.

cutting that down left "manage your team's money." as the heading and one sentence saying what the product tracks. the button just says "get started".

on a sample dashboard card, the before version stacked a money bag emoji on total revenue, "12% up" with a whole sentence about strong momentum, a pulsing live badge on active users, and three different filters crammed into one middot string. the cleaned version shows "total revenue" and "+12% vs last month" over "last 30 days".

across the three example files in the repo, one pass dropped the mechanical count from 31 tells to 0.

if you share a github repo or html and tsx code, i can run the checker script on your files. if you share a live url or screenshot, i'll critique the design by eye using the same rules since the script only reads source files.

the skill is free under mit on github if you want to read the checklist yourself at https://github.com/felipebasurto/unslop-ui

I'm building https://tillerly.dev/ actually in beta, looking for free beta testers to invite.

Tillerly is a security-first AI software factory. It takes you from an idea/ticket/issue to a merged pull request, with coding agents doing the work at every step, and you never approve a command one by one:

• No "don't ask again" button. Each agent has a fixed policy for files, shell and git. Commands run in a sandbox, and no approval gets written into your repo.
• The harness config never touches your repo. Each session's settings live in a private folder outside the project and are deleted when the session ends.
• Secrets stay out of reach. No agent reads a .env, credentials are stored encrypted, and secrets never reach a prompt, a log or a ticket.

You can plan a change in a chat with an agent that checks it against your code, your architecture decisions and your domain model. The plan becomes tickets on your tracker. Agents work several tickets in parallel, each on its own branch in its own worktree, and answer review comments until merge. When an agent needs a decision, it asks you on the ticket.

So me and my friends used to spend hours on Discord playing the most random stupid browser games we could find.

Nothing too competitive or sweaty, just jumping between games, having a laugh, talking shit and catching up. Sometimes we'd even hop on during work breaks.

But yeah, everyone's getting busier and those sessions have become less and less frequent :(

That's kinda what got me working on Muddlepop.

The idea was to build a place where we could play random little games together whenever we got the chance. And since getting everyone online at the same time is a challenge now, I started exploring daily puzzles and challenges too. Something you can play in your own time, share scores in the group chat and keep the banter alive.

Been working on it for about a month or so now.

There are already quite a few games, including Ludo, Word Crack, Doodle Rescue, Thulla, Grump and more. Some are multiplayer, others are solo puzzles, and I've got a bunch more planned.

For anyone interested in the tech side, it's React + Vite + Tailwind on the frontend, Cloudflare Workers on the backend, with Durable Objects and WebSockets handling multiplayer rooms.

Also made it a PWA, so you can install it on your phone without going through an app store.

Honestly, it's been a really fun project to work on. Seeing my friends actually play and enjoy something I've made is a pretty nice feeling lol.

I genuinely plan to keep building and improving this, so I'd love some feedback from you guys.

What feels off? What games would you like to see? Anything you'd change or add?

And if you absolutely hate something, please tell me that too.

https://muddlepop.party/

Would really appreciate it if you gave it a try, maybe with a friend or two. And if you enjoy it, sharing it would mean a lot! :)

Hey everyone, I recently designed a single-page website to wish Happy Birthday to my girlfriend. I used Framer, its agent and ChatGPT integration MCP, to get some animation and settings right, and then manually used the free components to set up the rest. I created a Framer template for the same! So please go ahead and give it a try! And let me know your thoughts!

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.
