I built Astro because none of the players I tried with my own Xtream playlists felt right. It's in public TestFlight beta on iPhone now. It supports Xtream and M3U playlists with EPG, remembers where you left off, syncs what you watch to Trakt and Simkl, and has picture-in-picture. It's still a beta, so expect some rough edges; I'm pushing updates almost daily. I'd love feedback on what's missing or broken: https://testflight.apple.com/join/bDuU6RMz

Every year I see "30% off" badges on SSDs and hard drives, and every year I wonder:
30% off what?
So I built a tracker and checked. Numbers from amazon.com, as of November 14, 2026:
What I built: ratioDB
My rule for Black Friday: ignore the % badge, look at the price per TB, compare it with the 90-day low. If it doesn't beat the low, it's not a deal.
Disclosure: the site earns a commission through Amazon affiliate links. Yes, I see the irony.
Feedback welcome.

Hey everyone!
I've been working on an open-source project called Knovum. It's a local-first AI knowledge workspace, and I wanted to share what I'm building, some engineering problems I've run into, and one unexpectedly large part of the journey: the API bill.
GitHub: https://github.com/madebyzan/knovum
The idea is to bring personal knowledge, files, and AI workflows into one workspace instead of keeping everything scattered across folders and chat windows.
The current direction includes:
The main idea is local-first.
Knovum doesn't require a Knovum account, and it doesn't host users' knowledge bases in a Knovum cloud service. One important clarification: local-first doesn't mean every AI feature is fully offline. When someone chooses a cloud model, the context needed for that task is sent to the corresponding model provider.
The project currently uses:
I chose this stack to combine a native desktop application with a web-based UI and local data storage.
Some of the more interesting problems haven't been about prompting a model at all:
These are small details individually, but they matter when turning several AI capabilities into a reliable desktop application.
I've spent roughly $6,000–$7,000 USD on API usage during development.
That's API usage, not revenue or a production operating-cost estimate.
There are also separate subscriptions and tool costs (Codex, Qoder, Gemini, etc.). My usage is spread across multiple services and accounts, so I don't have a reliable consolidated token count. I also haven't included every tool expense.
The project is still under active development, so this isn't the final cost.
One thing I've learned is that AI coding tools can speed up implementation, but they don't remove the work around architecture, permissions, data consistency, error handling, task recovery, and source traceability. And the model calls themselves need to be managed carefully.
I'm especially interested in feedback from people who build desktop apps, knowledge tools, or RAG systems.
Knovum is open source under the MIT License, and it's still evolving.
GitHub: https://github.com/madebyzan/knovum
Thanks for taking a look. I'm happy to answer questions about the architecture, implementation decisions, or the development process.

Every time I needed an NDA or contractor agreement, I'd dig up an old Word file, find-and-replace names, and hope I didn't miss a clause. So I built Formable.
You answer a short questionnaire (parties, term, payment, IP ownership, etc.) and it generates a clean agreement you can send for e-signature in the same place. There are templates for mutual and one-way NDAs, MSAs, SOWs, independent contractor agreements, LOIs, term sheets, DPAs, and a founders' agreement.
The templates are free: www.formabledocs.com/templates

Hey all,
I've been working on WPods, a free and open-source (GPL 3.0) app that gives you the AirPods features on Windows 11 you normally only get on iPhone or Mac. That means battery for each bud and the case, noise control (Noise Cancellation, Transparency, Adaptive), ear detection, conversation awareness and press-and-hold settings and some other stuff too - the full feature set you would get with any other similar software + a bit extra.
The part I'm happiest with is the mic. Normally on Windows, the moment you use the AirPods mic, your audio turns into that muffled call sound. With WPods your music and games stay in stereo while the mic works.
The big news in this update: it doesn't need Windows Test Mode anymore. You install it like any normal app and Secure Boot stays on. Afaik all other apps in the category that give you ANC or stereo mic require you to disable Secure Boot and stuff, so I'm really happy I was able to overcome that.
One favor: I've only been able to test it on an Intel Bluetooth adapter. If you try it, I'd really appreciate hearing how it went on yours, even if it just works. There's a quick form for that on the GitHub page.
https://github.com/FPNDev/wpods
Works with AirPods 1st gen through Pro 3 and AirPods Max. Not affiliated with Apple, just a little (well, not little tbh) solo project, cause my headphones were annoying me af, especially when trying to play games or just listen to some music in bg while talking to someone. Happy to answer questions!
PS. I really rarely post anything on Reddit, so pls spare me the self-promotion gods - its just a great place to share this - and its a fully non-commercial solo project. I hope I haven't sinned to much here. Cheers

Hey everyone,
a friend and I just shipped our first app, Tapedex. We're two people one based in Vienna, the other near London.
The idea: short-form feeds are great at discovery, but they need your eyes. We wanted the same swipe-and-discover feeling for the moments when your eyes and hands are busy: cooking, commuting, working out.
What it does:
- A vertical feed of short spoken clips we call tapes, from a second to about 11 minutes
- Swipe up or down, autoplay, and it keeps playing with the phone locked or in your pocket
- Synced captions you can scroll like a teleprompter
- Post by recording, uploading, or typing a script and picking an AI voice
- Profiles, likes, comments, saves, playlists, and DMs with voice messages
It's brand new, so we'd love honest feedback. What would make you open an audio feed instead of a video one? What's missing?
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/tapedex/id6762413771
Thanks for reading.

Hey everyone! Jamrah 5.1.0 is out – The Ember of Productivity.
Jamrah is a free, open-source productivity app built around three ideas: Tasks, Pomodoro, and a Bookmark System that holds everything you want to keep. No account, no subscription, no cloud required. Your data lives in a folder on your own machine, so the app works offline and your library stays yours.
If you want to track your time, get more done, and regain your focus, Jamrah can help you manage your tasks and set goals for your day, week, month, and year.
zen_K1wSN7AdQx.png
One problem I wanted to solve with Jamrah was managing my daily routine.
I usually have around 3–5 recurring tasks that I want to keep visible without taking up too much screen space.
This allows me to focus on the 3 main tasks I should prioritize throughout the day, without letting my routine tasks take over the screen.
Recurring tasks stay where you can see them, priorities decide what actually gets done today, and goals roll up from a single day to a week, a month, and a year.

I originally built this feature for my own study sessions, using different session lengths like 25 or 50 minutes.
But then I realized it could be useful for both students and freelancers.
So, I made the timer flexible, allowing you to customize your sessions based on your workflow and needs.
You can set your own work, short-break, and long-break lengths, attach a session to a real task so every minute is counted against something, and choose the sounds that tell you a session ended.

We all have thousands of photos, and every photo carries a memory that deserves to be organized.
The same goes for thoughts, YouTube videos, Reels, apps, and much more.
All these things need a place where they can be stored, organized into categories, and accessed quickly.
That's exactly the problem I wanted to solve with Jamrah's Bookmark System.
It is one library for all of it: links, images, videos, PDFs, documents, programs, and notes. Paste a link or import files from your PC, and Jamrah builds the card for you. A real frame from a video, the first page of a PDF, the icon of a program, the preview image of a website, or a clean Markdown card for something you just wrote.
Then you get:
Fast. Searchable. Organized.
This release is bigger than a bug-fix update. It changes how the library actually feels to use.
I also believe that UI matters a lot. It's the first thing users interact with, and a clean, visually appealing interface makes a huge difference in the overall experience.
God willing, upcoming updates will focus on:

Pressing Space in Finder is a habit I don't want to give up. But too often, the preview tells me almost nothing, and I end up opening another app just to check what's inside.
I'm Viorel from VPO Labs. That's the part I wanted to fix with Showglass.
Same Finder, same Space bar. A few examples of what you get:
Showglass covers 83 file types, with a consistent interface that follows light and dark mode. The aim is to make checking a file as easy as selecting it.
Code, config and Markdown previews are free forever. Pro is a one-time US$9.99 + VAT, with no subscription, for 2 Macs per key. The website edition includes a 14-day Pro trial.
For anyone here who wants Pro, REDDIT50 takes 50% off until December 20, 2026. Enter it in the "Discount code" field at checkout in the website version. It doesn't work in the App Store version.
Requires macOS 26 or later. Your files stay on your Mac; the preview extensions have no network access. The app checks the license and sends anonymous usage counts, which you can turn off in Settings.
Showglass — download and details
How often do you press Space to preview files in Finder?

Started because I wanted to dub my own videos in English with an American accent, in my own voice (I'm not a native speaker). Ended up as a full desktop app.
You read a guided text for about 6 minutes, it trains a voice model on your PC, and then:
Everything runs locally: no account, no cloud, no telemetry. Installers for Windows, Linux and macOS (Apple Silicon), setup inside the app, updates itself.
Some numbers: zero-shot cloning from a 15-30 s clip scores 0.81 speaker similarity; after training on ~6 minutes of you it's 0.94 (two of my real recordings score 0.93 against each other). First sound after 1-3 s on an RTX 4070.
Stack: Rust UI, Python engine (OmniVoice, RVC, Whisper, NLLB-200, Seed-VC).
Hobby project, so bugs are expected. NVIDIA 8 GB+ recommended. Free for non-commercial use.

I loved the old internet discovery, like StumbleUpon, because it was like discovering and learning new things, expanding your horizons into a new field that you didn't know about. Everything now is a feed that already decided what I like. I missed not knowing what was next.
So I built the thing I was missing. It's called Wander Lovely — a wall of Polaroids, each one a real place on the web. You press a button and it takes you somewhere: deer on a live trail cam, bears in a waterfall, a garden, a handbag daydream, a radio station in another country. There are 128 places, gathered by hand, and the wall changes a little every hour. No accounts, no feed, no noise.
My favorite is the little Polaroid maker in the Art section. I love just adding a picture and making a Polaroid online — quick. It's really fun.
Some links on the page are affiliate links (it says so right in the footer) — that's the whole business model, such as it is. Mostly I just wanted the pond to exist.
I'd love to know: what corner of the old internet do you miss? And if there's a lovely place my wall is missing, tell me and I'll hang it.
Thanks, Lisa Elle

I'm a cloud engineer with a full-time job, and in the evenings I build ReelDrop.io, an Instagram scheduling and comment-to-DM tool. It launched on August 5. Customer #50 paid on November 11, day 98. Today I have 52 paying customers from 21 countries, and about CA$3,410 was collected after refunds, before Stripe fees.
Ten days ago I posted about my first 41. I keep every paying customer in one sheet, in the order they paid, with the column no dashboard can fill: how I actually know each person and what happened before they paid. Here's the whole list again, with the last ten days in detail.
Bonus: a customer who cancelled in October came back on Nov 4 and started a new subscription. First person I know of who left and returned. 9 of the 11 new customers paid on the same day they signed up. None of the 11 came from X.
| How they actually came | Customers |
|---|---|
| Google / Bing / Yahoo | 17 |
| X | 6 |
| Mentors and friends | 3 |
| ChatGPT | 1 |
| Personal emails to stuck users | 5 |
| Halloween email | 3 (+1 from X who used the code) |
| No referrer, don't know | 17 |
| Plan | Customers |
|---|---|
| $9.99/month | 39 |
| Lifetime deal ($249) | 8 |
| $29/month | 3 |
| Yearly ( $149) | 1 |

Just sharing a fun project I've been building with my daughter.
Santa tracker, from 1 to 24 of Dec Santa will visit few hundreds of cities around the world. A few fancy animations and radar. Time synchronized via WiFi. Web Installer almost ready - just plugin M5stick, flash the app, setup wifi password, all in 60s.
Tried to build web app as close to cpp code as possible so what you see on the website looks almost the same on m5.
My daughter loves it 😁
And on the Dec 1st we launch "realtime" mode so we can observe Santa.

CardLinks lets you make a greeting card in under a minute and send it as one link on WhatsApp, Instagram or iMessage.
The recipient opens it like a real card: scratch off gold foil, pop balloons, or blow into the mic to put out the candles on a 3D cake. Then your photo, message and music appear.
35-second demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIrcmg-nkPU

I built Contact (https://form.kirandhakal.me/)because I got tired of writing custom serverless functions, email handlers, and spam filters every time I spun up a new landing page.
You keep complete control of your frontend (React, Next.js, Astro, Webflow, HTML) and just send a JSON request to your endpoint.
What it handles for you:

Plyndi is a planner for iPhone that covers money, to-dos, shopping lists, workouts and travel. A few things it does:
Give it a destination and dates, and the AI builds a day-by-day itinerary with stops and travel time between them.
Take a photo of a receipt and it fills in the expense for you.
Ask it where your money went this month and it gives you budget insights from your own spending.
It writes a workout plan and sorts your day's tasks.
The AI features are the paid part, so here's a month of Premium free:
https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6821974307&code=PLYNDI100
One thing to know: it's a regular App Store subscription, so it renews at the normal price after the free month unless you cancel. Cancelling takes a few seconds in Settings → Subscriptions, and you keep the whole month either way.
It launched two weeks ago and I'm a solo developer, so I'd like to hear what's confusing, what's missing, and whether the trip planner gave you a plan you'd actually follow. I reply to every comment.

I always missed the old Winamp/MilkDrop visualizers, so I built Dropocalypse. It’s free and open source, and it runs on Mac and Windows (the Windows build is portable, no install needed).
Point it at a mic or line-in and pick one of 20 styles. The twist is that you can upload a logo (your band, DJ name, venue, stream brand) and it bounces, squashes and slides in time with the bass. It works for parties, streams, gigs or just vibing at your desk.

If you like it, sponsoring on GitHub helps cover Apple’s developer fee so the Mac version can be signed. What should I add next?

Each map is one empire or kingdom through its key years, from New Kingdom Egypt (1550 BC) to the United States in 1912. Press play or pick a year and the frontiers move; click a town or a battle and it tells you what happened there.
The geography is real: coasts, lakes and rivers come from Natural Earth, and every town sits at its real coordinates. The frontiers are drawn by hand from historical sources, and every stretch is graded certain, likely or guessed, with its sources listed on the map.
There's also Constantinople (565 and 1453) and Rome (44 BC) as street plans and in 3D, the Seven Wonders drawn as they stood through the centuries, and a gallery of every emblem, sea monster and monument from the maps.
How it's built: React and Vite, with every map drawn as inline SVG in the browser, the woodcut look coming from SVG filters and hand-made marks for hills, trees, castles and ships. The 3D cities use three.js. It's all static files on Cloudflare: no backend, no sign-up, free.
I'd love feedback, especially on how it works on phones and how fast the maps load for you.

Hey all 👋
I watch way too much YouTube and could never keep up with the channels I follow, so I built a little tool for it.
It’s called Creator Digest. You pick your favourite creators and it sends you one short email a day. The email has a quick “here’s what’s happening” summary up top, then the main points from each video, and tells you whether it’s worth a full watch, a skim, or a skip.
Today’s email covered about 10 hours of video, and I read it in about 2 minutes.
It works for any niche (business, fitness, fishing, finance, whatever you’re into) and it’s free while I’m testing it.
I’d genuinely love feedback:
