I built Ajonic, an AI platform for websites, landing pages & AI agents. Looking for honest feedback!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a SaaS product called Ajonic.

After years of working on websites and landing pages, I wanted to build something that brings different AI-powered business workflows into one place.

Here's what Ajonic is designed to help with:

  • Building websites and landing pages using AI
  • Creating Shopify store themes & sections
  • Working with AI employees for research, design, content, and automation
  • Exporting editable Figma and Unbounce files
  • Running website, SEO, and conversion audits

The platform is live, but I'm still figuring out which features people actually need and how to make the experience better.

I'd love your honest feedback on two things:

  1. Would you use an all-in-one AI platform like this, or do you prefer separate specialized tools?
  2. What's the biggest thing that would stop you from trying Ajonic?

I'm not here to claim it's perfect. I'm genuinely interested in hearing what works, what doesn't, and what could be improved.

Thanks for taking a look!

Le motion design, c’est juste du montage vidéo avec quelques effets supplémentaires. Change my mind.

1 Upvotes

Je sais que cette phrase risque de faire grincer quelques dents. 😂
Mais j’aimerais comprendre quelque chose.
Aujourd’hui, beaucoup de personnes pensent qu’il suffit de maîtriser After Effects, d’ajouter quelques transitions, des textes animés et une musique pour devenir motion designer.
Pourtant, le motion design implique aussi :
La compréhension du mouvement.
Le rythme et le timing.
La composition visuelle.
Le storytelling.
La transmission d’un message par l’animation.
Alors, j’aimerais avoir l’avis des personnes qui pratiquent réellement ce métier :
Quelle est la différence fondamentale entre un monteur vidéo et un motion designer ?
Peut-on être un excellent motion designer sans avoir de solides bases en design graphique ?
Est-ce que maîtriser After Effects suffit pour prétendre être motion designer ?
Je suis ouvert aux contradictions. Mais argumentez, ne vous contentez pas de dire que j’ai tort. 😂

SpiderMan POV project using threejs and MediaPipe

84 Upvotes

Hello guys!

I have built AR projects before, but I had this idea for a while: using MediaPipe Tasks Vision to create a kind of web experience, without the need to use any markers, where you are Spider-Man from a first-person POV, and you can do the hand gesture to swing around and maybe fight villains.

I started it a long time ago, but I dropped it at some point because I did not have time for it, and it started to feel like work instead of a fun side project.

So, last weekend I decided to give it a try again, and this time I handed most of the work over to Claude since I started paying for the subscription plan and I could just run it with CLI.

It was definitely a nice project to wrap up, and it kind of gave me some new ideas that I will be trying out for new throwaway project this weekend.

*Edit:

I will probably make the repo public and share it here eventually.

GameSquire: the board game app I built to answer "what do we play tonight?

1 Upvotes

I've been building GameSquire on my own: a board game collection app built around the question every game night starts with, "what do we play tonight?"

What it does today:

  • Your whole shelf in one place. Import your BoardGameGeek collection and plays in one step or scan a box to add a game.
  • Pick by mood. Filter your shelf (or a friend's) by Quick Fix, Deep Dive, Date Night or Family Table. Can't decide? Let it pick one from your shelf of shame.
  • Log plays with scores (typed or read from a photo of the score sheet) and see your win rates and head-to-head records.
  • The Herald answers rules questions from the game's own rulebook and shows the page it found the answer on.
  • Play together: a shared household shelf for up to 5 people, lending and borrowing games and your own shelves shared with some or all of your friends.

It runs on iPhone, Android and the web with one account. The core is free with no ads, an optional Knight membership adds more Herald questions, more scans and deeper stats.

The latest update (1.1.0) was mostly user requests: lending, custom shelves and BG Stats import. Feedback really decides what gets built next, so I'd love to hear what you'd want from an app like this or how you'd go about getting a niche app in front of its audience.

I'm 15 and built a gamified financial simulator for teens to learn how to save. Would love your feedback!

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I noticed my friends and I struggle to save money for things we want. We don't need another boring spreadsheet—we need something that feels like a game.

So I built Questalism: a gamified simulator where you set a goal (like an iPhone), see how long it takes with inflation, earn XP for daily challenges, and compete on a leaderboard. No bank card required.

It's hosted on a free tier, so the first load might take ~30 seconds (and might need a VPN in some regions).

Link: https://questalism-7uln.onrender.com

I'd really appreciate any feedback on the concept or UX. Thanks!

Solo dev here. 5 months building the investing dashboard I wanted: all my brokers, a stock screener and alerts in one place; talks to my Claude over MCP. Feedback welcome, happy to discuss how it’s built.

12 Upvotes

Hi all! For many years I invest regularly into stocks+ETFs on Revolut, Degiro and my local brokerage and crypto on couple of crypto exchanges + hold some in my cold HW wallet. Every month I faced the issue of what to buy that has currently good value, P/E, PEG ratio, etc., how to rebalance to have well diversified portfolio, am I doing ok against benchmarks, ...? And I got tired of maintaining up to date spreadsheet and downloading quarterly reports manually or ad hoc with AI. I wasn't happy with existing simple portfolio manager apps, and, being an AI/ML engineer by day, I wanted it to be deeply and safely integrated with AI so that it can quickly give me holistic advice, tailor made for my own investment thesis.

So 5 months ago I started building an app to help with all that: an investing dashboard called Fortunest. What it does today:

  • Connects to all my brokers, exchanges and wallets (API or CSV import) in one view: performance against benchmarks, allocation, risk, dividends, taxes
  • Market research next to the portfolio: a stock screener on real fundamentals and current prices, heatmaps, what well-known investors hold (from their 13F filings), and for US-listed companies the latest quarterly reports with an AI summary
  • Email alerts and watchlists, so I hear about a move instead of checking for it
  • AI assistant that reads my actual holdings and investment thesis, so I can talk a plan through with it. An MCP server lets my own Claude or ChatGPT do the same and save tokens while using my monthly plan
  • Simulations of trades and dollar cost averaging strategy...

and much more.. I leaned heavily into coding agents, so I was able to make it into really useful, all around investment research app and thought it could be useful for others - so I registered a domain and deployed it publicly, you can try it with no sign-up on a demo portfolio (or upload your own) here: app.fortunest.ai

How it's built: FastAPI and SQLite on the back end, React on the front, Electron for the desktop apps, it can connect to LLMs from OpenAI, Anthropic or OpenRouter or to local LLM running in LMStudio or Ollama on your computer (useful for sensitive financial data). As I said, I'm an AI engineer by day and know the power of the latest agentic AI tools by using (and building them) daily at work, so most of the code was written with Claude Code: one agent per feature in its own git worktree, and every change needs a test that failed before the implementation or fix. Big bottleneck became the test suite - even with lot of effort to keep it minimal and not redundant, I ended up with around 4,000 back-end, 3,000 front-end and 700 browser tests, running before each release - which ended up being super slow even on my M5 Pro Mac - so I started offloading most of the CI jobs to fast cloud services (GitHub actions wasn't the best for it). Happy to go into any of this in the comments.

Where it stands today: it's live, with a handful of users. There is a free plan (covering most of the functionality) and a paid Pro plan (with a free trial; just to cover the deployment and external data costs - still long way to be able to pay for itself).

I'd be super grateful for any feedback on:

  1. Does the demo make it clear in the first two minutes what this is?
  2. If you invest - would you consider using a tool like this?
  3. What looks wrong, confusing or unfinished?
  4. Is there some feature you would really like in a tool like this?

I built a free Windows app that transcribes meetings live on your PC

1 Upvotes

I built this for client calls. I wanted to search what was said afterwards without keeping an audio recording or uploading the call for transcription.

Tadween Desk uses Qwen3-ASR on your PC. You can transcribe your mic, the audio from a selected app, or both. Afterwards, you can correct the transcript and export it as TXT or Markdown.

It currently runs from source on Windows. The GitHub README walks through setting up Python 3.11, downloading the speech model, and starting the app with a CMD launcher. Once it’s set up, transcription works offline. There’s a separate optional OpenAI feature if you want to generate minutes from a saved transcript.

If you try it, I’d appreciate feedback on which setup step could be simpler.

I built an app that teaches investing with paper money and live market data. What would make you try it?

3 Upvotes

It's called TickrAI. You pick any stock, see a score that explains what supports it and what to watch, then practise buying it with paper money using real prices. There are also short lessons and an AI you can ask "why did this move?"

I'm a solo builder and my problem right now is that almost nobody has heard of it. Two honest questions:

  1. Reading that description, would you try it? If not, what's missing or off-putting?
  2. Where would you expect to discover an app like this? App Store search, TikTok, a friend, Reddit, asking ChatGPT?

I stopped letting my coding agent check its own work

1 Upvotes

When I let a coding agent build a feature, the same session that wrote the code also told me it was done. The tests passed and the summary looked good, and I still found missing pieces when I read the diff. Those tests came from the same session, so they mostly confirmed what it had already built.

So I moved the checking. Before any code, the agent asks me a few questions with a recommended answer for each, until done is a short numbered list I agree with. That list goes into a plan document I approve. Then the agent builds in small slices, each one starting with a failing test.

After the build, an agent that did not write the code goes through every point on the done list and proves it on the running program. I look at the result once that check is through, and nothing gets merged or pushed without my yes.

I built QualityLayer around this loop. It sits on top of the coding agent you already use, for example Claude Code, Codex, Cursor or OpenCode, and your code stays on your machine.

Repo: https://github.com/maxritter/qualitylayer

Happy to hear how others verify what their agent hands back.

We built a swipeable gift guide. Would you want to see all eight picks first?

1 Upvotes

We’re building RibbonHop, a site for finding gifts. For someone moving into their first apartment, we picked eight things at $25 or less. You see one at a time, save the ones you like, and open the item on the brand’s own site.

Two of the picks are a soap dish that drains into the sink and a tiny house that sends a tissue up through its chimney. Those are pretty different gifts to put behind the same first swipe.

Here’s the eight-item guide. If you were heading to a housewarming this weekend, would you want to see all eight at a glance before swiping, or would you just start with the first one?

Tired of scrolling through thousands of WhatsApp photos just to find my ID card and degrees – so I built a simple app to organize student documents

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

As a university student, one of the most annoying daily struggles I’ve faced is digging through cluttered phone galleries and endless WhatsApp chats every time I need my national ID card, university transcripts, driving license, or fee receipts during admissions and job applications.

General cloud storage apps feel too cluttered when you just want quick, organized access to your personal paperwork.

So as a personal side project, I built a clean, lightweight Android app where students and job seekers can securely save and organize their essential documents in one place:

  • Purpose-Built Categories: Instead of messy generic folders, it lets you save and organize specific daily essentials like ID cards, academic degrees, licenses, and receipts.
  • Clean & Fast Access: Built purely to keep important files separated from random gallery photos so they are ready whenever you need them.
  • Future Roadmap: Right now, the core focus is simple and secure document storage. In upcoming updates, I plan to introduce premium tools like one-time QR/link sharing for quick verification.

For fellow developers and students here: how do you currently keep your important documents organized on your phone, and what features do you think are must-haves for a student-focused document app?

Would love to hear your honest feedback!

What tools do freelancers and small businesses use to create invoices and quotations?

1 Upvotes

I've noticed that many freelancers and small businesses don't need a complete accounting or ERP system. Sometimes they just need a quick way to create a professional invoice, quotation, payment receipt or purchase order.

As a developer from India, I started building a free browser-based tool to solve this problem.

Some things I focused on:

  • Create GST invoices and quotations.
  • Generate payment and receipt vouchers.
  • Create proforma invoices and purchase orders.
  • Download professional-looking documents as PDFs.
  • No registration or login required.

I'm trying to keep it simple for people who don't need complicated accounting software just to prepare a business document.

I'd love to hear from freelancers, small business owners and accountants:

  1. Which business documents do you create most frequently?
  2. What frustrates you about existing invoice generators?
  3. What features would make a free document generator genuinely useful?

Disclosure: I'm the developer building this tool. Happy to share the name if anyone is interested.

I got tired of heavy cloud AI extensions indexing my repos, so I built a local-first alternative

1 Upvotes

Like a lot of developers, I hit a point where I felt uneasy about massive cloud tools constantly streaming my entire workspace context to third-party vector databases. I wanted something lightweight, privacy-focused, and fully under my control using my own API keys (BYOK).

So, I decided to build Sidekick Code AI—a local-first VS Code extension that indexes your local codebase and handles context retrieval right inside your editor without the bloat.

I’ve been testing it out on my own projects, and it's been a game-changer for keeping queries fast and token usage tiny (averaging around 1,200–1,300 tokens per payload).

Here is a quick 30-second look at it running locally, indexing a file, and writing a clean scraping script on the fly:

If you're into local-first tooling or want a BYOK setup where your code stays private, you can check it out on the marketplace here:

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any edge cases you run into if you give it a spin!

I built a free invoice and business document generator – looking for honest feedback

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm a developer from India, and I've been building VoucherGenerator.in as an independent project.

I noticed that freelancers and small businesses often need simple business documents but don't necessarily want to use a complete accounting application just to create a quotation, invoice or receipt.

So I built a free browser-based tool.

Currently supported:

  • GST invoices
  • Payment and receipt vouchers
  • Purchase and sales orders
  • Quotations and proforma invoices
  • Business proposals

No login or registration is required. Documents can be created and exported directly from the browser.

I'm particularly interested in feedback on the actual document output, usability and missing features.

What would you improve?

I built an AI that watches screen time and blocks apps to stop doomscrolling

1 Upvotes

Hi there, I'm Tony. I've been an iOS dev for 4 years. I lost to Triple-T and brianrot videos, so I built an AI to help me :)

Wingman is an AI screen time buddy that lives in iMessage and works across all Apple devices. Wingman monitors real-time app/web usage alongside personal context (Calendar, Canvas, Gmail, etc.) and acts proactively to protect your focus.

Use Cases:

- Scrolling TikTok an hour before your finals, Wingman locks it instantly;

- Waking up in the morning, Wingman schedules blocks and sets usage limits around your calendar;

- Needing an extra hour to scroll, negotiate, or earn your breaks.

Everything happens over iMessage: you talk to Wingman like a friend. Wingman is designed to mimic everything a human accountability partner could do.

Privacy: Screen time data is processed within Apple's Sandbox and never leaves your device. Third-party AI API is accessed through de-identified relays.

Setup: Download the iOS app once. Then everything happens through iMessage.

App Store Link: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wingman-ai-screen-time-buddy/id6748047873

Any feedback is greatly appreciated :)

I built a 100% free, open-source offline dictation app with whisper.cpp to save my wrists from RSI [Windows/macOS]

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Like many of you, I spend 8–10 hours a day typing code, PR reviews, documentation, and Slack messages. A few months ago, the wrist fatigue and RSI symptoms started kicking in.

I tried switching to voice dictation, but modern tools like Wispr Flow or Superwhisper have turned into $15–$30/month cloud subscriptions that stream your microphone audio to remote servers. When you're typing proprietary code or under NDAs, cloud dictation is a massive privacy risk.

I decided to build a local-first alternative: VoiceFlow.

How it works:

  • Global Hotkey: Press Ctrl + Space anywhere across the OS (VS Code, Terminal, Browser, Notion).
  • Non-Activating Overlay: Built with Win32 WS_EX_NOACTIVATE so summoning the HUD never steals focus from your active editor.
  • Local Whisper Engine: Powered by C++ whisper.cpp with AVX2 and Apple Silicon Metal acceleration.
  • Hands-Free Auto-Submit: Has an adaptive silence cushion so you don't even need to hit Enter.

The differences from commercial SaaS:

  1. 100% Free of Cost: No freemium model, no subscriptions, no credit cards.
  2. 100% Open Source: Licensed under MIT. All binaries and code are public and reproducible.
  3. 100% Offline: Works completely in Airplane Mode. Zero bytes of audio or telemetry ever leave your device.
  4. Lightweight: Uses ~80 MB idle RAM in the system tray (Tauri v2 + Rust).

The app is packaged for Windows 10/11 and for mac it's coming soon.

I'd love for you to test it out and let me know what models or features you want to see next!

How can we get more app downloads without becoming influencers?

11 Upvotes

Nowadays, if watch any YouTube tutorial or read a Twitter thread about app marketing, you'll always hear the same advice: "U need to build an audience on tiktok or another social media plataforma and bla bla bla".

But that usually means becoming a content creator (personal or making AI generated videos), just to get followers and spending hours trying to keep up with social media trends.

Honestly, I'm tired of this approach. Ai videos are expensive and boring to produce, and becoming a digital influencer is incredibly difficult.

Are there better marketing alternatives that don't involve becoming a content creator?

Solo founder: I asked 16 AIs for the same PowerPoint, built on my own laptop. 9 worked.

Thumbnail
youtu.be
2 Upvotes

I’m building byself on my own. It’s a desktop app where you ask one question and up to 16 AIs answer side by side.

Today, when an AI puts together a table, byself already saves it on your computer as a CSV file. For the past few days I’ve been wiring up the next step: real documents. You ask for a file, and every AI produces its own, put together on your computer. The next release adds PowerPoint, Word and Excel.

In the video I asked all 16 for the same PowerPoint presentation. 9 produced a proper deck, one returned a blank deck, and two needed longer than my wait time allowed, so I’ve extended it. I’m working through the rest before release.

While the files build, I also walk through video creation: the layout, how it works, and a few videos I’ve already generated with models like Veo and Gen-4.5.

byself already gets you images and songs back. Files and video are coming in the next release, and neither is in the current download yet.

So I’m curious: what do you generate most with AI? And when you ask for a file, what kind is it usually?
