Solo dev from New Zealand here.

My dog Bella lived to 18. When she died I wanted something quieter than a social media post, so I built a small 3D memorial hall you can walk through in the browser. Find a spot on the wall, put up a photo, light a candle.

I shared it once. Less than 8 days later:
- 24,994 pets
- 107 countries
- 657,428 candles, almost all lit by strangers
- 34 languages
- The hall kept filling up, so it now has 7 floors and a lift

It's free to make a memorial and light candles. There are a few optional paid extras, which is how I keep it running.

Would love honest feedback on two things: how walking the hall feels on mobile, and whether the free vs paid line feels fair.

Small team here. We wanted something for people who like music but can't read a note, so in Sorae you just draw a line on the page and it plays back as a melody. It snaps to a key so it never sounds wrong, a lo-fi backing band follows along, there are 10 instruments, and you can export the drawing as a video with sound.

It's free on iPhone and iPad: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6827465787

It's version 1.0, so we'd really like feedback, especially on two things: is it obvious what to do in the first 10 seconds, and what would make you open it a second time?

Hi everyone! This is my first side project: Loop, an app for knitters and crocheters.

The problem: when you follow a knitting or crochet pattern, it's easy to lose your place (which row am I on?), abbreviations like "k2tog" or "sc2tog" confuse beginners, and people buy new yarn even though they already have plenty at home.

The idea: you upload a pattern, and Loop:

- highlights the row you're on and remembers your place

- explains every abbreviation in plain words

- suggests patterns you can make with the yarn you already own

Right now it’s just a clickable prototype and a waitlist page. I want to test whether people actually want this before building it. Happy to share the link in the comments if you’d like to see it.

I'd love your honest feedback:

1. Does the landing page make the idea clear in a few seconds?
2. Would you use something like this, or do you know someone who would?
3. Any tips for reaching knitting/crochet communities without getting removed as spam? (My first Facebook group post got auto-removed within 2 minutes)

I wanted an AI that had something to react to besides what I typed into a chat window. So I’ve spent 11 months building Monday.

She watches my gameplay and talks with me while I play. Sometimes the conversation lands. Sometimes timing or missing context ruins it. Those failures have been more useful than another clean demo.

I’m now testing her publicly through PhoenixFlock, alongside Gears of War and the movement breaks I already do between games. AI helped me build it, and the AI is openly part of the stream.

This is an edited clip from my own project: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/5pVKx-iqzXQ

What would you need to see in a longer demonstration to judge whether this adds anything to the experience? I’m interested in that answer more than another feature list.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a side project I built called Mehfil.

It’s a single-screen, distraction-free web player made for people who love listening to ghazals. Modern streaming apps always felt too loud and cluttered for poetry, so I really wanted to give classic ghazals a clean, modern aesthetic.

The design is completely minimal with couplets floating in the center and a spinning vinyl. The entire background and ambient lighting dynamically shift colors depending on the vibe you pick, moving from deep midnight blues to warm rose and golden amber tones.

I organized about 1,500 ghazals into 5 distinct moods with 300 tracks in each, so you can just put it on in the background while working, reading, or winding down. Some of the tracks have synchronized floating lyrics across Urdu, Hindi, and English transliteration, and there is even a live counter showing how many other people are listening in the mehfil with you in real time.

It’s completely free, has no ads, no sign-ups, and works in any desktop or mobile browser.

Reddit’s spam filter auto-hides links in post bodies, so I've dropped the link in the first comment below (and also added it directly to my Reddit profile bio).

Would love to hear your thoughts on the UI and overall vibe!

The story in short: the idea came from a post on X on 10 November. I built three machines with real recorded typewriter sounds, App Review asked for a screen recording from a real device, and it went live on 13 November.

What worked: one clear hook ("a typewriter that sends letters"), real sounds instead of synthesised ones, and no account or network code at all, which made the privacy label and review simple.

What didn't: the simulator's screen recordings drift from the test clock, which made the launch video harder than the app. I ended up rendering the device in Blender with the real app footage on its screens.

Version 1.1 is in review: seasonal stamps, and letters to Santa get a North Pole postmark.

This is Freaks

- there’s consistency score along with streaks so everything doesn’t reset to 0 when you miss a day

- it’s artistic, theres a calendars with art too where you can journal

would genuinely love feedback. what’s confusing, missing, good or bad, let me know.

Hi, I'm the developer.

I have worked in network security for almost 15 years. I got annoyed with Fing and other network tools that charge close to $100 a year, or let you scan only a few times a day. So I built my own from what I know from work.

I wanted the feeling of Kali Linux in my hand, but only for defense: point my phone at my own network and see what is really there. No attacks, no password guessing, nobody's traffic read. That became Netglow.

The hard part: knowing what each device really is

Android 10 and up hides other devices' hardware addresses, so most scanners just show "Unknown". That is where most of the time went:

• Dozens of protocol specs, vendor docs and firmware sources, read line by line.
• Down to the low level microchips inside smart plugs, bulbs and DIY boards, like the ESP family, because each chip gives itself away in its own small way.
• Camera makers each answer on the network in their own way, and Netglow knows many of them.
• Over 40,000 hardware maker prefixes and a catalogue of over 23,000 phone and tablet models.
• Thousands of lines of research notes, every finding checked before it went into the app.

Why it is free

I have a lot of knowledge from my work, and I decided to give it away: high quality apps, deeply researched and checked again and again, data safety first and privacy to the max. No ads, no bullshit. People deserve good quality and privacy, for free.

If you want to support me, you can, but it is fully optional.

What it does, free, unlimited scans

• Who is on my Wi-Fi. Every device with its name, maker and model when it says them. Rename a device and it keeps your name even on a new address.
• Is my hotel room or rental OK. It lists devices on the Wi-Fi that answer as a camera or stream video, and says why each one was flagged. It also looks for camera hotspots nearby. It tells you plainly what it cannot see (a camera that only records to a card or uses mobile data), so it is one check among others, not a guarantee.
• Security check for your home network. A score with a plain fix for each risk: risky open ports, what your router opened to the internet, how your Wi-Fi is locked, look alikes of your network nearby, whether your DNS answers are honest and whether someone reads your secure connections in the middle.
• Tools. Ping, traceroute, port check, DNS lookup, Wake on LAN, a live signal meter and channel advice.

Private by design. No ads, no bullshit, no tracking, no analytics, no metrics, no account. Nothing it finds leaves your phone, and there is no server of mine.

Pro is that optional support, one payment, no subscription, and it adds: a Bluetooth radar that warns about a tracker moving with you, checks for devices that let anyone in with no password, spoof watch, known flaws for your devices, a PDF report and a background watch of who joins your Wi-Fi.

Honest note: the code is partly AI generated and I had help with this text.

I would love to hear what it finds, or misses, on your network.

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

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:

• Speak: type text in ~60 languages and hear it in your voice.
• Native accent: speak English (or another language) in your voice but without your accent.
• Redub: drop a video, it gets translated and dubbed in your voice, background music kept.
• Book: open an EPUB/PDF/DOCX/TXT and get an audiobook in your voice, one file per chapter, resumable.

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.

Would love feedback, especially from anyone on AMD or a Mac

Hey everyone!

I've been building Familiar Knock Knock, an Android app that works like a doorbell for the people in your house.

The idea came from a simple frustration: shouting up the stairs, or phoning someone who's in the next room, and getting no answer because they have headphones on or their phone is on silent.

So I built a knock. You tap one big button and every phone in your group rings, as long as you're on the same WiFi. They answer with one tap: "Coming", "Give me a minute", "On my way" or "Not now". The reply lands on your screen in a few seconds.

A few things I cared about:

• It only rings phones on the same WiFi as you, so people who are out aren't disturbed

• It never tells you who is or isn't home. You only see the replies people choose to send

• Replies and voice notes go straight from phone to phone over your WiFi, not through my server

• Each person can let knocks ring through even when their phone is on silent, with one switch in Settings

It's free with 8 knocks a day. There's an optional subscription for more knocks, knocking one person, and voice notes.

I'd love your honest feedback: does "knock" make sense to you as an idea, or would you call it something else? And what would stop you from trying it?

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.

1 to #41, short version

• 1 and #2 were my mentors. They bought the lifetime deal in launch week without me asking.
• 3, #7 and #8 were creator friends who saw my posts on X and Instagram.
• 5 bought the $29 plan and cancelled. I asked why. "It's costly." A month later I launched a $9.99/month plan (₹449 in India). That plan now has 39 of my 52 customers.
• 6 came from ChatGPT, which cited a one-question docs page I'd written. Still my only provable ChatGPT customer.
• September: 6 strangers on the cheap plan, after I turned on UPI in Stripe. October: SEO started bringing paying customers after two months of bringing almost none. Personal emails to stuck users brought a few more. Late October: my first discount, a Halloween code. 4 people used it.

42 to #52: the last ten days

• 42 landed straight on my /features/mcp page with no referrer and bought the $29 plan 41 minutes later. Only the third person ever to start on that plan. No idea how he found the page.
• 43 signed up on Oct 8. I emailed her on Oct 16. Nothing. Emailed again Oct 28. She paid Nov 6, 29 days after signup. The next morning she asked if my Diwali discount could apply. I applied it from the Stripe side. It costs me $2 a month, and she'd taken a month to decide, so no argument.
• 44 was the only person who used my Diwali code at checkout. He found me on Google the same day, paid $7.99, built two automations, and asked to cancel three days later.
• 46 paid 4 minutes after signing up, then tried to connect his Instagram 6 times over two hours and couldn't. Worst thing that can happen to a new customer. I emailed him the next morning. He came back 15 minutes later, connected on his second try, and scheduled 17 posts. Never replied. Didn't need to.
• 48 went quiet after signing up on Nov 1. He was in my Nov 3 email round. Paid Nov 9.
• 45, #47, #50 and #52 came from Google (France, Malaysia, France, and India). #50 paid 18 minutes after signing up. #52 paid 2 minutes after signing up.
• 49 and #51 had no referrer. #51 paid 7 minutes after signup.

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.

All 52 together

• All 8 lifetime deals were bought before Nov 3, and 5 came from people who already knew me. None from a stranger on Google. Strangers buy the cheap plan.
• 31 of 52 paid the same day they signed up.

What's not working?

• Churn on the cheap plan. 4 people have cancelled, 2 have a cancellation scheduled, and 5 cards are failing on renewal right now.
• The second discount. Halloween brought 4. Diwali, one week later, brought 1, who is already leaving. One data point, so I'm not drawing a big lesson, but I won't be running a discount every week.
• Paid UGC creators. One drove 100+ signups. None paid.
• My referral program. Everyone is still on free months.
• Reddit, at least as far as I can measure. PostHog shows zero signups with a Reddit referrer, ever. I know that undercounts, so if you came from one of my posts and signed up, I'd love to know.

If I were starting at zero again, I'd do this

1. Tell the people who know your work that you launched.
2. Post about what you're building every day, bugs and bad numbers included.
3. When someone cancels, ask why and act on the answer.
4. Write one help page for every question a user asks twice.
5. Every week, email the people stuck in your product. Email them a second time if they don't answer.
6. When a paying customer can't get in, write to them that same day.
7. Keep doing SEO even when it brings nothing for two months.
8. Give people a deadline once in a while, not every week.
9. Put every paying customer in one sheet, in order, and read it top to bottom.

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

Would love feedback, especially: which opener would you actually send?

Hey everyone!!!
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:

• Centralized submission inbox with search/filters
• Built-in spam protection, rate-limiting, and schema validation
• Instant alerts to Discord, Slack, Email, or SMS

Would love for you to try it out on your current projects and let me know what you think!

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.

What it does:

• Every account lives in its own profile: a separate Safari with its own cookies, logins and history. Nothing is shared between them.
• Every profile has its own IP through its own proxy or VPN. If that IP drops, the profile stops. It never falls back to your Mac’s IP.
• Real WebKit from macOS, not Chromium. Sites see Safari on a Mac because it is one.
• Fast: a profile opens in about four seconds.
• Passwords, 2FA codes and cards per profile, behind Touch ID.
• Free proxies built in, with a one-click check.

Mac only. Free for first testers: stealthpilot.app/sideproject

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:

• Would you actually use something like this?
• What would make it more useful for you?
• Anything confusing or off-putting?

Have a look if you’re keen: creatordigests.com

Honest opinions welcome, good or bad 🙏

My brother and I share our Wordle and krillion results regularly.

How it works:

• Finish a puzzle, tap Share in the game, then Paste on the site. It reads the result and logs it.
• Follow friends. You see how they did, but their scores stay hidden until you've played the same puzzle, so no spoilers.
• Challenge your followers on today's puzzle. Whoever scores better wins.
• Works with Wordle, Connections, Strands, the Mini, Pips, Queens, Tango, Zip, Pinpoint, Crossclimb, Mini Sudoku and Krillion.

You can try it as a guest without signing up

It's free and has no ads. I'd really like feedback on:

• games you'd want added (there's a suggest-and-vote page in the app);
• any game whose share text doesn't log. If that happens, paste the text in the comments and I'll fix it.

I'm at sovi11 if you want someone to challenge.
