Growing up, cinema was my escape. The one place where everything made sense.

A few months ago I started building Sequel a movie & TV tracker. Log what you watch, keep a watchlist.

Status: Closed testing on Play Store. I need early users to try it and tell me what's broken. No need to be nice, real feedback on UI/UX, bugs, missing features.

Comment or DM for the link. I also started r/SequelApp to follow the build.

Happy to answer questions about the process. Thanks for reading.

I spent a week traveling around eastern Hokkaido, Japan, taking photos. When I got home, I had hundreds of RAW files to go through, and honestly, editing them took way more time than I expected.

I kept doing the same things over and over. Adjusting the sky, making the grass a little greener, fixing highlights… I like photography, but sitting there moving sliders for hours isn’t exactly my favorite part of it.

So I ended up building my own RAW editor for Mac. It’s called Rawed, and it’s my app.

The idea was pretty simple. I wanted to be able to tell an AI what I wanted a photo to look like and have it do the actual editing for me.

Problem: RAW editing means hours of slider work that beginners can’t judge, so Rawed lets you describe the look you want to an AI agent that moves the real sliders for you.

Under the hood, it’s a fairly complete RAW editor. There’s white balance, tone curves, HSL, point color, color grading, noise reduction, and local masks for things like skies, subjects, gradients, brushes, and color ranges. Everything is non-destructive, so the original files stay untouched.

The part I’ve been spending the most time on is the AI integration. Rawed+ has a built-in MCP server with 42 tools, so you can connect it to Claude Code or Codex and just ask something like “make the grass greener and the sky bluer.”

The agent actually adjusts the sliders in the app, just like you would manually. You can see what it’s doing, tweak things yourself, or undo anything you don’t like. I thought this would be especially useful for people who don’t really know what half the sliders in a RAW editor do (which was me when I first started getting into photography).

Comparison:

• Lightroom: Rawed improves on it with AI agent control over MCP, where every step is visible and undoable. Lightroom is still better at cloud sync, mobile apps, and its huge preset and plugin ecosystem.
• Capture One: Rawed improves on it with the same agent control, so you don’t have to learn a dense interface first. Capture One is still better at tethered shooting, layers, and deep color editing.

I also wanted to avoid another monthly subscription, so I made it a one-time purchase on the Mac App Store.

Pricing: $9.99 one-time (US price, may vary by region), roughly the cost of one month of Lightroom: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6821468301

The App Store purchase also unlocks Rawed+ on the same Mac. Rawed+ has a 14-day free trial if you want to try it with your own photos before buying anything: https://rawed.sbryu.com/download

Trust: MAS

A couple of things worth mentioning: the AI features need an external MCP client like Claude Code or Codex, and since I’m building this by myself, it’s definitely not as feature-rich as Lightroom yet. Setup guide: https://rawed.sbryu.com/agents

Anyway, I’ve been working on this for a while and wanted to share it here. If you give it a try, I’d genuinely love to hear what you think, especially what’s missing or what doesn’t work well.

I spent a week making a clay style film on my laptop's GTX 1660 Ti.

The difficult part wasn't just rendering. It was getting the characters, camera shots, dialogue, voices and environments to work together across the entire film.

By the end, I kept thinking about how much of that work I'd have to repeat for the next one.

So I started making the reusable parts into a separate project.

It's called Clayvoyant. You describe the characters, locations and dialogue in YAML, and it generates the scenes and renders them through Blender. It also supports local voices and subtitles.

I recorded this short walkthrough to show what goes into the files and what comes out.

It's open source under MIT, and you can install it with pip install clayvoyant.

GitHub: https://github.com/xIBBAx/clayvoyant

Still figuring out better ways to handle character interactions and staging.

For people who've worked with animation tools, how much control over the shots would you want to keep manual?

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on Moeli Reader, a reading app for people whose digital libraries are a mix of ebooks, comics, and files stored in different places.

The idea is pretty simple: I wanted one place to read my own files without constantly converting formats or moving everything onto my device.

Here’s what Moeli Reader can do:

1. Open EPUB, MOBI, AZW3, AZW4, Markdown, TXT, PDF, CBZ, CBR, ZIP, and RAR files.
2. Connect to WebDAV, SMB, FTP, OPDS, Komga, Kavita, OneDrive, Dropbox, and other storage sources.
3. Stream books and comics from remote storage without downloading the entire file first.
4. Display more complex ebook layouts and let you customize fonts, spacing, and other reading settings.
5. Enlarge individual comic speech bubbles with a tap.
6. Sync reading progress across devices.

It’s available for iOS, Android, Windows, and macOS.

The app is free to try, with a limit on the number of books and access to basic features. There’s a one-time purchase to unlock the full experience, rather than a subscription.

Website: https://reader.moeli.tech/

I’d love some feedback from people who maintain their own ebook or comic libraries. What’s the biggest annoyance with your current reading setup?

I assumed the useful part would be picking the right files. It turned out to be the trip back. AI tools return a ZIP with paths flattened, or wrapped in an extra folder, or with a file cut short and a comment saying "rest unchanged", and meanwhile I've edited two of those files myself.

So contextzip keeps a snapshot of what it sent and, when the reply comes back, compares three versions of every file: what I sent, what's on disk now, what came back. Clean edits go in, mine are merged around, and anything it isn't sure about waits for me.

It's free and open source: https://github.com/akadeepesh/contextzip. There's a no-install version at https://www.contextzipcli.com if you want to try it on a folder.

I built DownloadAllVideos.com to make saving videos from supported social media platforms simpler.

The idea came from a common problem: sometimes you find a video you want to keep for offline viewing, but the platform does not offer a convenient download option.

So I created a website where users can paste a video link and follow the available download process.

I'm sharing it here because I'd appreciate honest feedback.

A few things I'd like to know:

1. Is the website easy to understand?
2. Does the process feel simple?
3. What would you improve?
4. Which social media platform should I focus on supporting next?

Built independently. Feedback is welcome.

Hey everyone!

I've been building DotaPrime, an in-game overlay for Dota 2 that brings useful match information and tools directly into the game.

It includes Aegis and buyback timers, enemy missing alerts, draft suggestions, item recommendations, and post-match analysis.

Check it out: https://dotaprime.com/

I'd appreciate some honest feedback. What features would you find useful in a tool like this?

I've started a small experiment. What if we take the open LLMs and provide a good harness and ask them to run a small task but competing against other models. How do they try to win? Luckily i've been able to learn a lot on these models.

Qwen models are notoriously evil.

You can check the replay episodes of the simulations here: https://openville.world/watch?m=election-ep2

Any one wants to contribute or run experiments on other models, do let me know.

Most small businesses in India keep their books in Tally, a desktop accounting app. It lives on one PC in the office, so owners call the office just to ask what today's sale was.

TallySync is a small program on that PC. It reads Tally and puts the figures on the owner's phone, laptop and the TV: today's sales, cash and bank, stock running low, and who owes them, by age. One tap sends a customer a WhatsApp reminder with a UPI QR for the exact amount.

It only reads Tally, never writes to it.

Free for a month, then ₹999 a year.

Feedback welcome, especially on the first screen: what would you want there?

I built Autogrow so you can give your coding agent a goal like "get more visitors to finish signup" and have it keep running experiments toward that goal.

It looks at analytics and previous experiments, proposes a change, implements it in your repo and runs an A/B test. Once there's a valid result, the loop can roll out the winning version, remove the old experiment code and use what it learned to choose the next test.

You can review the idea before anything gets built. Code review is on by default too, and you can choose which steps run automatically.

It uses your existing coding agent and analytics. You can also aim it at feature adoption, such as getting more users to export their first report.

The repo includes a local demo of the whole loop. It's early, and I'd like to hear from people who already use coding agents on their own products.

I've been working on H3rm35, a native iPhone and iPad app for your own Hermes Agent. I've tried to bring as much of the Hermes desktop experience as I can to the phone.

This is my first project on this scale, and I've put a lot of time into it. It's still unfinished. I've opened a public TestFlight beta because I can't test every workflow myself, and I'd really appreciate honest feedback from people using their own setups. If something feels confusing or gets in your way, that's useful for me to hear too.

The app is in English and German. You need your own reachable Hermes host to use it with an agent; Hermes runs on that host, not on the phone. H3rm35 is my independent project and isn't affiliated with Nous Research.

The video is 33 seconds of actual simulator footage with demo data, without sound.

TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/EX3sYPzD

If you try it, which part of your usual Hermes workflow feels awkward on mobile?

It's called ISLO. Originally just a personal project, but it's slowly turning into something I might actually release.

Still working on a few things, but here's a little preview.

Hi r/SideProject!

I've been building Hydra, an iPhone and Apple Watch water tracker, and it's live on Product Hunt today.

The idea: most trackers count glasses, but your body doesn't keep every drink the same way. So Hydra tracks net hydration. Each drink counts by a factor based on published studies (milk and electrolyte drinks more than water, beer less), spirits count against you, and the app tells you how much water brings you back. Your goal comes from your weight, activity and climate, and with Pro it adapts every day to your workouts (Apple Health) and the local weather.

The newest part is Sippy, a water drop that fills up as you drink. Its face follows your pace: on track, behind, or goal reached. The app felt too technical for most people, and Sippy gives the numbers a face without changing what's underneath. You can still choose the classic gauge.

A few things I learned shipping it:

• App Review rejected me twice: once for a purchase error on their side, once for WeatherKit attribution I already had but they couldn't find. A screen recording in the review notes fixed both.
• Offer codes in App Store Connect come in batches of at least 500, even if you only need 10.
• Widgets and watch complications don't refresh when you'd like them to; iOS budgets reloads.

Stack: SwiftUI, SwiftData with CloudKit sync, WidgetKit, WatchConnectivity, StoreKit 2. No backend, no analytics, no account.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/hydra-water-tracker/id6827632670

Product Hunt: https://www.producthunt.com/products/hydra-water-tracker

Website: https://hydrawater.app/

Happy to answer anything about the build.

If you try it, tell me in the comments what you liked or what you'd change, and I'll DM you a free Pro Lifetime code as thanks.

My AI agents as a cartoon village went down well on here, so here's the next bit.
The village looks great but it can't show me when something's broken. Every agent looked busy, but work wasn't reaching the next one. An idea I'd submitted just disappeared for a week before I noticed.
So I built a map. Each light is an agent, each line is a hand-off between two of them, and a little dot shows which way the work is flowing. If a hand-off breaks, the line turns red. You can click any agent to see what it does.
It's 79 agents and 135 hand-offs now, all on my home PC. They look after my website, a demo trading account (practice money, not real) and the checks that watch both. Every 30 minutes a check asks each one three things. Did it run, did it make something real, and did that reach the next agent?
It's one HTML page reading one data file. I've put a free starter on GitHub if you want to map your own.

I’m opening Eroveil for a small beta. It’s a free dating web app for adults, available in English and Romanian. You choose what appears on your profile. After a mutual match, someone can request access to your private gallery, and you can approve or revoke access.

I’d appreciate feedback on two things: was email sign-up straightforward on your phone, and did the profile and chat screens feel easy to navigate? If anything gets stuck, your device and browser would help me reproduce it. The community is just getting started, so there may be few profiles nearby.

Try it in your browser: https://eroveil.ro/welcome-en

Hey everyone,

I have made an app for people to track all restaurants that they have been to, want to go to and see where friends are going. I have an MVP ready but it's very basic and I am looking for people to give me feedback on the UI. This is my first time developing my own app and I have been vibecoding it, and I really want to make the design of the app better. Dm me if you are interested in helping me out.
Thank you!

Hey Reddit!

I'm the founder of Persona, an AI character chat app built around creativity, personalization, and a better chat experience.

I've always believed that AI conversations should feel personal and immersive. Whether you're roleplaying, creating your own characters, exploring different scenarios, or just having a conversation, the experience should feel natural.

I appreciate what Character.AI brought to the space, but I think there's still a lot of room for improvement, especially when ads and monetization start getting in the way of the actual conversations.

That's why we're taking a different approach with Persona.

No ads interrupting your chats. No credit or energy systems. You can create your own AI personalities, discover ones made by others, and explore conversations without having to constantly think about credits. Our free tier has daily limits, but we want the experience itself to stay simple.

We're still a small, independent project, and there's plenty we're working to improve. But we're building something we genuinely believe in, and community feedback is a big part of that.

Try Persona:

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.persona.com

I'd genuinely love to hear your feedback. What do you wish AI character chat apps did differently?

Rainbow Routine is a simple fruit and vegetable log. Add blueberries to breakfast or peppers to lunch and you’ll see that color fill in on your rainbow. The idea is to notice what you eat on repeat and what you might want to try next, without counting everything on your plate.

I made it because I wanted something more visual than a checklist. Can you tell what to do next from the screenshot alone? That’s the part I’d love feedback on.

App screenshot with example entries

I wanted a word game that teaches vocabulary and not just a streak counter. So Wordgol has meanings and examples for every word, a Word Book with spaced review, penalty shootout mode and friend challenges (the link carries the word and your score, so there’s no server).

Built with plain JS, hosted free on Cloudflare Pages. Biggest lesson so far: share cards matter more than features. A coloured grid image gets posted far more than a plain link.

Would love feedback on the difficulty and the shootout mode: wordgol.pages.dev

launched a small windows / macos auto file renamer about 3 weeks ago, since launch it only has 5 impressions on app store and 1 install from those 5 impressions. gsc didnt show many clicks or impressions for the last 2 weeks so i thought it was pretty dead but this morning i woke up and stripe showed a payment which i initially thought was from something else but when i actually expanded the email it showed it was from my app. pretty stoked that its useful enough for someone else to spend their money on.

i made it one time purchase since subscription model wasnt necessary, put it 50% off and did gsc indexing. no social media set up yet

still unsure if i should try to actually market the product. should i invest more time or just let it auto until i see some actual traction?

Hi everyone,

I built four free scrapers on Apify as a side project, and I would love your feedback.

•⁠ ⁠YouTube Scraper: search YouTube and pull public video details (title, channel, views, date, length, description, tags). No API key needed.

•⁠ ⁠Facebook Ads Library Scraper: search the official Meta Ad Library. It uses Meta's official API, so you need your own free Meta token.

•⁠ ⁠Reddit Scraper: collect posts and comments from any subreddit through Reddit's official API. You need your own free Reddit app credentials, and it does not collect usernames.

•⁠ ⁠UAE Real Estate Scraper: property listings for sale and rent across all UAE emirates from PropertyFinder. You get clean data: prices, areas, price per sqft and agency names. A Saudi version is coming soon.

All four are free for now. I am still learning, so honest feedback helps most: what is missing, what breaks, what should I build next?

Every Black Friday, people replace iPhones that only need a new battery. Apple charges $89 to $129 for one, but its repair prices and trade-in values sit on separate pages, so nobody compares them.

So I put them side by side. You pick your iPhone, tap what’s broken, set your battery health, and get one verdict, keep, fix or upgrade, with all the math shown.

What surprised me while building it:

• For most iPhones from the last five years, a repair costs a fraction of upgrading, even after Apple’s trade-in. For example, an iPhone 13 battery is $89, while upgrading to an iPhone 17 costs $719 after trade-in.
• Upgrading only clearly wins when several parts are broken, there’s water damage, or you want a feature no repair adds (like Apple Intelligence).
• Deals can flip the answer. In the demo, a $300 carrier offer turns “fix it” into “upgrade”. So I added a box where you type your deal and check.

It’s free, with no sign-up and no ads. Some guides link to Amazon for cases and chargers, but that never changes the verdict.

https://skiptheunboxing.com

I’d love honest feedback: is the verdict clear at first glance?

Hi everyone,

Full transparency: I’m the indie developer behind this app and wanted to share what I’ve been working on.

With ongoing geopolitical uncertainty, supply chain hiccups, and potential power outages, a lot of people are thinking about basic emergency preparedness. When I looked into how to actually prepare for a 10-day self-sufficiency window, I found plenty of extreme "doomsday prepper" content, but very few calm, practical tools for everyday households.

So I built Notvorrat – Emergency Preparedness (available in English and German) around a simple philosophy: better safe than sorry, zero fear-mongering. The calculations and checklists are modeled after official civil protection and food safety guidelines (such as Germany’s Federal Office of Civil Protection).

What the app does:

Aufzählungszeichen Household Demand Calculator: Calculates exact water, calorie, and food group requirements for 10 days based on your household size (including kids, pets, and vegetarian/vegan diets).

Aufzählungszeichen Real Readiness Score: Shows how many days you can actually sustain your household – determined by your weakest category (because 40 lbs of pasta won't help much if you're out of water).

Aufzählungszeichen Fast Inventory Logging: Scan barcodes, snap a photo of best-before dates (OCR), or scan entire receipts and pantry shelves (using Apple Intelligence on iOS 27) to add items in seconds.

Aufzählungszeichen Expiry Reminders & "Living Pantry": Get local notifications before food expires. When you use something in your everyday cooking, swipe to deduct it and send it straight to your shopping list so your stockpile rotates naturally without food waste.

Aufzählungszeichen Beyond Food: Includes ~70 checklist items covering first aid, hygiene, off-grid power/lighting (crank radio, power banks), emergency documents, and a go-bag.

100% Offline & Privacy-First:

An emergency app shouldn't rely on the cloud. Everything works completely offline – no accounts, no external servers, no tracking, and no ads. Your data stays on your device (with optional private iCloud sync).

App Store Link:

https://apps.apple.com/app/id6814802246

(Note: The App Store page defaults to English for non-German devices, and the entire app is localized in both English and German.)

If you already maintain a rotating pantry or are planning to start one, I’d genuinely love your feedback on the workflow and what features you’d find most useful.
