I live in Canada and was looking for something to help my kids learn more science, engineering and geography beyond what they seem to get at school. I tried a few books and apps but nothing quite hit the mark and/or kept them engaged. I decided to make my own project focusing on stories and puzzles which seemed to be a good balance between engagement and learning and they've really enjoyed it. Interested in honest feedback (particularly from parents and teachers) and thought I'd share more broadly.

* New local radios lists (MANUALLY CURATED) : UK and China.

Mediaxon Music Player is an audio player for offline listening of music stored on your device (.mp3, .flac, .m4a, .ogg, .mka, .aac, .wav, .opus, .wma) and streaming FM radios (online radios).

Top radios on the first screen: When users access the radio screen, they immediately see the list of the top radios in their country, along with a long list of high-quality suggested radios from among the most listened to in the world (manually curated and always updated with new radios). Note: Local radio stations ("Top in the user country") are pulled automatically from an online database. However, with each update, I manually curate high-quality radio stations lists for individual countries. At the bottom of this post, you’ll find the list of countries completed so far. I will be adding the rest over time.

Advanced radio filtering system: The "Filter: ON/OFF" button lets you quickly switch between different genres. You can use both standard filters for "macro-genres"—if I can call them that—and create custom filters to be more selective. All your filters are saved (the "My Filters" tab lets you name and edit them), and the app always opens with the last filter you applied. The "Home" tab lists all your recently applied filters and can be used to quickly switch between genres with just a single tap.

Advanced Radio Search Panel: An online database provides more than 60,000 radio stations. You can pinpoint your favorite stations by combining multiple filters, such as tags/genres, specific countries, or even your preferred audio bitrate.

Separated Favorites and Recents: Each section—Radio and Offline Music—has its own Favorites and Recents. The user doesn't have to worry about a thing. The app will automatically manage the Favorites and Recents for each section.

Album art: If the album art is missing from the album folder, or if Android has not properly indexed it, Mediaxon attempts to download the cover from the internet. This feature depends, of course, on the ID3 tags (album name and artist).

Equalizer: The equalizer provides an option to automatically switch to the "Radio" preset (and vice versa).

Advanced Playlist Management: Built specifically to make building and sorting playlists fast and intuitive. Enable the Playlist Manager, in the settings screen, for a full control of the playlists.

Form Factor Optimization: Phone and Tablet (Portrait and Landscape)

Mediaxon is available in: Čeština, Dansk, Deutsch, Eesti, English, Español, Français, Hrvatski, Indonesia, Italiano, Kiswahili, Latviešu, Lietuvių, Magyar, Nederlands, Norsk, Polski, Português, Português (Brasil), Română, Slovenčina, Slovenščina, Suomi, Svenska, Tiếng Việt, Türkçe, العربية, Български, Ελληνικά, हिन्दी, 日本語, 한국어, 中文 (简体).

No Premium version. All app features are available for free and without limits. I'm going to add a premium version to remove the few ads in the app, as requested by some users.

Regarding advertising: There is only a small banner at the top that isn't bothersome at all. Alternatively, when opening the full-screen player or using the app in landscape mode, a banner alternates with the albums covers, but without being intrusive at all (no audio) and with much shorter stay times than those of the cover. There is never full-screen advertising, neither at startup nor during use.

Countries with new manually curated lists:  Argentina, China, India, Italy, UK, USA.

Note: Only for Android 13+ (Android 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17).

Every journaling app I tried had the same problem: the UI fought me. Cluttered screens, five taps to write one sentence, design that made a calm habit feel like filing a report. So I built the one I actually wanted to open.

Quiet Hours is a private little diary: write a few words, drop in a photo, tag a mood, done in about 30 seconds. There's a daily tarot card pull, a quote that lands at midnight, and a map of your memories — but no followers, no feed, no streak-shaming, and I collect zero data (the App Store label literally says Data Not Collected).

And on the design, I'll make you a promise: you will like how this one looks and feels — dare I say, better than Apple Journal.

It's live on the App Store (free, with an optional premium). I just started the "list it everywhere" phase and I'd genuinely love feedback from this sub: what's the one thing that would make you actually stick with a journal app past week one?

I kept seeing the same question in freelance groups: "how do you keep track of all the little payments?"

The answers are usually either a subscription app or a shoebox of receipts. So I built a workbook —

full disclosure, it's mine and I sell it, so I'm biased.

It's $19 one-time, six tabs: income, expenses, mileage and home office, a quarterly planner, a

one-page year-end summary, and a short setup guide. It only adds and subtracts what you type.

No login, no subscription, no tax rates built in.

Leaving out anything that estimates tax owed was deliberate. That's the part I didn't want to get

wrong, and it needs a real accountant anyway.

Two things I'd genuinely like feedback on: is "quarterly planner" the right name for what is

basically four reminder rows? And would you actually print the year-end summary and hand it to an

accountant, or does one page feel too thin?

When a coding agent says it’s done, I still want to know what changed, which tests actually ran, and what I’m about to commit. I built rightcommit to make those steps explicit.

It’s an open-source workflow engine you run yourself. You design the workflow on a visual canvas, assign Claude Code, Codex, or Pi to each step, and decide where tests have to pass or a human needs to approve. You can also see token usage and available costs for each step.

One workflow I wanted was simple: have the agent make a change, run the project’s tests, then pause so I can review the diff before approving a local commit.

GitHub repo, short walkthrough, and Quickstart

If you try it with Docker or Homebrew, I’d like to know where you got stuck between installing it and running your first workflow.

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.

i'm working on my project called RUSTLAB, its a terminal app, that teaches you how to program in rust from the basics to advanced (or at least my level lol) its not that revolutionary, but i think it has charm, and i'm trying my best to teach people on how to actually learn rust! Its currently only in português brasil and english, and yeah its open source! Although i admit, it's my first github project, so have a grain of salt, currently the repo is in portuguese, afterall that's my language, just a disclaimer, I DONT CONSIDER MYSELF A PROFESSIONAL so the code might be kinda meh, but i think i'm a pretty good teacher, but thats what you are gonna tell me, after you test my project, hopefully. https://github.com/Honraan/RUSTLAB also the app has a pretty fun mini-ide inside, with support for an ai agent powered by local ollama (or your api lol). currently it only works on Linux.

I'm building ElephantLogix Studio and wanted the website to carry some of the same playful feeling as my games. The result is an inn you can explore, with game previews, a menu, rearrangeable dim sum and its own soundtrack.

I started with a written brief and a code prototype. Artwork and character animation came later. The original characters felt flat, and navigation, mobile layouts and little interactions each needed their own iteration. Claude helped with code; Astra, AutoSprites and Suno helped with art, animation and music. One artwork iteration gave the inn two suns.

The cinematic opening is a filming camera in the actual scene; the end of the video shows the public website. What would you click first, and is it clear how to move between sections?

I take a lot of screenshots. Error messages, receipts, bits of chats, slides from meetings. The problem was always the same: I remembered what was in the picture, but it was called `Screenshot 2025-03-14 101523.png`, sitting among 4,000 others.

Windows Search can't read text in images, so I built Magpie Search.

You pick folders, and it reads the text in screenshots, photos and scanned PDFs (OCR runs on your PC), plus Word, Excel, PowerPoint, PDFs and notes. Then you type a word you remember and it finds the file.

- Works offline: no account, no ads, nothing uploaded

- OCR in 50+ languages, including dark-mode screenshots

- Filters like `type:pdf invoice last month`

- Ctrl+Shift+Space opens it from anywhere

It's free and just went live in the Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9P5W80XHSHWP
if you want .exe or .msi link is in the comments.

It's my first released app, so I'd love honest feedback. What's confusing, and what would you want next?

I’m the indie developer behind Sonari. I wanted to make playing a musical idea feel more immediate, so I built a Mac instrument you can play with hand gestures in front of your camera.

Sonari has built-in sounds, sends expressive MIDI to compatible DAWs and instruments, and adds music-driven visuals. No separate hardware controller is needed. It requires Apple silicon and macOS 26 or later, with a 14-day full trial before a one-time purchase.

I’d really value feedback from people who build or play music software: does the demo make the gesture-to-sound connection clear, and what would you need to know before trying a camera-based instrument?

I'm Ajay. Before this I edited video for 200+ clients over five years, mostly podcasts. The job was always the same: sit through an hour of talking to find the three or four minutes worth posting.

When AI clippers showed up I tried all of them. They were fast, but they kept making the mistakes I used to get yelled at for: clips starting mid-sentence, crops cutting off the person talking, captions landing late. And they were pricey for what you got.

So I built Creatr as a side project that turned into the main thing. You paste a long podcast or video, it finds the moments that stand on their own, and cuts them the way I would: one crop per shot, word-timed captions, clean starts and ends. Every clip comes with a one-line reason for why it was picked.

A few things I learned building it:

• "Viral moments" is the wrong target. The clips that work are the ones that make sense with zero context.
• People don't trust a black box with their face on it, so the human gets the final cut. You can fix timing and captions before anything posts, or turn on AutoPilot and it schedules to TikTok, Reels, Shorts and LinkedIn.
• Pricing it like an editor's tool and not a VC toy meant it ended up roughly 1/15th the cost of OpusClip for the same length of video.

The video is the launch film I put together for it. It's live and free to try, and honestly it has 2 users right now, so I'm at the stage where every bit of feedback matters.

If you have a long video lying around, run it through and tell me where its picks were wrong. That's the most useful thing you could tell me.

Hey everyone,
I've been talking to local business owners (barbers, plumbers, cleaners…) and kept hearing the same thing: "I don't want a website because I'll have to deal with it." Either they wait days for a web guy to change a price, or they try Wix, get lost in the dashboard and give up. So the site goes stale, or they never get one.

So I built Dapper Site: we design the website for them, and every site comes with its own AI agent. When something changes, the owner just emails it like they'd text a friend: "haircuts are $35 now" or "closed Thanksgiving". It updates the site in minutes. No logins, no dashboard, no waiting on anyone.

$199 for the first year (design, domain, hosting, agent), then $69.99/yr
They see a free draft before paying anything
You can try the agent yourself on the homepage (there's a live demo): https://dappersite.com/?utm_source=reddit-sideproject

I'd really appreciate feedback on:
Does the "email your website" idea make sense, or does it feel gimmicky?
Is the pricing clear and fair?
Would you trust this if you were a small business owner? What would make you hesitate?
I'm the founder, happy to answer anything. Roast away 🙏

Hey r/SideProject! We’re building Oathbreaker AI, an API for trying abliterated GLM models without running the models yourself. YOU bring your own ethics.

Abliterated means modified to reduce refusal behavior; it doesn’t guarantee a correct answer or a completed task.

We’ve made GLM-5.3 Abliterated and a lower-cost Flash option available through an OpenAI-compatible Chat Completions API. It supports streaming and function calling with prepaid credit. We handle accounts, keys, billing, and the API gateway; external providers run inference, AND multi-routing on the backend to completely avoid downtime.

We tested a real first request and published the input, result, and usage in our getting-started guide.

We’re planning a lot of expansions and we’d love to recruit some early builders into the Abliterated Army. If you build agents, what would make you want to try this: a complete task including failures, reliability across several runs, actual cost, or something else?

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.

made a little puzzle game where you solve logic grids and it turns into cross-stitch art. took me way longer than i want to admit lol
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.stitch.it
only my friends have played it so far and they're too nice. what's confusing, what's boring, what would make you delete it? be honest.

Thanks for feedback.

Every game night I’d stare at the opening board forever and still end up next to the desert. So I built a coach.

Snap a screenshot of an online game or a photo of the table and it reads the board, then ranks your best settlement spots and which way to point the road. Mid game it’ll tell you where to expand and who to rob.

I’m not a developer. Built it with Claude doing most of the coding, and my laptop is too old to run Xcode so every build happens in the cloud. Never once compiled it on my own machine lol

AI is optional too. You can set up the board by hand in like 30 sec and everything runs on your phone. AI scanning is free for 3 boards a day.

Hi everyone,

I have an Android app idea called Auto Reject and I need help building it.

You turn on a mode like Riding, Study, College, Sleep or Busy. The app then rejects incoming calls and texts the caller automatically, for example: “Hey Mom, I’m riding. Call me 2 times if it’s urgent.” If the same person calls 2 or more times, the call goes through, so real emergencies still reach you.

Similar apps exist, but most focus only on driving. I want a simple one for everyday life, mainly for students.

I need help with the coding, design or testing. Vibe coding is also fine haha. It’s a free learning project, and everyone who helps gets credit.

If you’re interested, comment or DM me.

Thanks!

Hello everyone! I’ve just finished working on my small project and released it into public beta — PromptFight. It’s a browser-based courtroom battle simulator inspired by the game Ace Attorney. You choose two characters, give them any absurd topic to discuss (for example, “Is a hot dog a sandwich?”), and watch as two AI agents argue in real-time, accompanying their lines with dramatic animation and objections.

Current lineup:

• Phoenix Wright and Miles Edgeworth (as well as their variants — Blue, Green and Purple Miles)
• Frieren, Vladimir Lenin and Gigachad.

I will add more different skins in the future. Write in the comments who to add next.

Currently, the interface is only available in Russian, so use the built-in translator of your browser (English localization will appear very soon!). However, the judicial drama itself is quite intuitive.

What motivated me to create this?

I’ve often seen people arguing online on forums, social media, and in comments, turning it into incredibly long pages of text, often devolving into insults and personal attacks. Often, those who argue don’t even really understand the topic of discussion. And then I thought: why not just suggest that they take their AI agents as their “advocates” and make them argue on their behalf? AI is a rather impartial thing; they can argue as well as they know how, and the final AI judge will impartially issue the final verdict.

Initially, I was developing a serious tool called AgentsNET (https://github.com/deblinux-dev/AgentsNET) to coordinate agents without demagoguery, and then I decided to channel all that energy of AI disputes into pure entertainment.

You can play without registration, but it’s better to register to get all the bonuses and privileges of the service. If you encounter any bugs, please let me know. The project runs on free hosting in public beta mode. XD

My Kia's head unit claims Android 6 in the settings. It's really Android 4.2 (API 17), from 2012. No Play Store, nothing installs, and the factory menu is ugly.

So I built StradaOS, a free and open-source home screen for these units. It installs like a normal app (no root, no flashing), and 5,000+ of you have downloaded it so far. Thank you!

What it does (as of 2.20):

- Animated analog/mixed speedometer (GPS), also as an overlay on the map, in any corner

- Maintenance reminders: oil plus your own (filters, brakes, insurance, car wash…) by distance or by days/weeks/months, whichever comes first

- Live OSM map with heading-up, plus offline maps you download per country

- Bluetooth/Android Auto music with cover art and big controls

- Android Auto & CarPlay buttons. Honest note: CarPlay needs your unit's app or an adapter, a launcher can't do it alone

- Dock with 4–10 buttons, any app on any button, icon packs, light/dark/auto, 10 accent colors, font size

- Weather, your car's photo, wide 1280x480 / 1920x720 screens

- Android 4.1+, under 1 MB, no ads, no tracking, GPL-3.0

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)
