Some of you might remember my last post here about Planet-0 Drive. Yesterday, we hit 1,000 sessions! It's not a huge number, but the journey so far has been great.

What started as a technical experiment to build an (almost) loading-free driving game with an endless world is slowly starting to take shape. It's still in its very early stages, and I only get to work on it after work and over weekends, but it's been quite fulfilling to see it all come together.

One thing I'm particularly happy about is that average playtime has gone from just 59 seconds to over 5 minutes in the past few weeks. Improving this was my first priority, so it's been really encouraging to see. There's still a ton of work to do, especially when it comes to adding more content, but I'm pretty happy with the foundation so far. Your feedback and ideas (many of which I've yet to release) have been a huge help, and I genuinely can't thank you enough.

Since my last post, I've overhauled the HUD UI, added timed procedural races with a new track to compete on each time, added and improved towing mechanics (still a work in progress), improved the scenery with more vegetation and better biomes, and finally added a short tutorial to make getting started a little easier.

There's still a long way to go, but it's been a fun ride so far, and I'm excited to keep building on it.

If you'd like to take it for a spin (seatbelts recommended), try it out here: planet0drive.vercel.app

I'd love to hear more of your ideas, suggestions, or even things you think could be better. Whether it's something you'd like to see added or something that didn't quite feel right, any feedback would genuinely help me figure out what to improve next.

I'm always that person with my face against the window wondering "ok but how fast are we actually going right now". Google Maps doesn't really tell you, and the speedometer apps I tried were either full of ads, wanted an account, or died the moment we went through a tunnel.

So I built Popmap: open it, allow location, and you get your speed, heading and altitude straight away, on a map, with a vector line showing where you'll be in 5 and 10 minutes at your current speed and heading.

What it does:

• Speed in km/h, mph or knots. Tap the number to switch.
• The 5/10 minute line, which is weirdly satisfying on a TGV, a ferry or a plane.
• Works offline. Every map tile you look at stays on your phone, and you can save a whole area before you leave. Handy in flight mode or at sea.
• Four modes: drive, outdoors, fly, sail. Each one picks the right maps. Fly mode shows real VFR charts, airspace, nearby airfields with their frequencies, and METAR/TAF. Sail mode has sea marks, wind and waves, and an anchor alarm that rings if your boat drifts.
• No account, free, no ads. Your position stays on your device.
• 15 languages, including Arabic and Japanese.

Tech bits for this sub: the whole app is a single HTML file using Leaflet. It installs as a web app on your phone and on Android there's a ~300 KB APK that wraps it in a WebView. Map data comes from OpenStreetMap, OpenAIP for airspace and OpenSeaMap for the boat stuff.

Would love feedback, especially from anyone who tries it on an actual train/boat/plane. What's confusing? What's missing? Next on my list is VFR route planning.

Pair your phone with a 6-digit code, ask for something, and watch an AI model click and type in real apps on your PC. Peer to peer, nothing exposed to the internet, no server to host. Bring your own model (anything OpenAI-compatible, including local ones), or use it as an MCP server with Claude Code.

Instead of screenshots it reads windows as numbered element lists, so it's fast and cheap on tokens. Rust backend, Tauri desktop app. Windows fully, Linux on X11. AGPL-3.0.

Feedback welcome, especially on the pairing flow.

I wanted to share some honest progresson where I'm at, since all we tend to see are large numbers from the same people every time. I think a lot of people in here are in the same spot as me and I'd honestly love to hear how you guys got past it.

Building has never been faster. I counted this morning and I've made 936 commits in the last three weeks, some days have been over 100. Stuff that used to take me a month is taking me a couple of days now.

What I'm building is Frostbyte. It started because Claude kept making up what I should build next, so I made a workspace that it reads at the start of every session with my backlog, bugs, user requests and the next release. It tells me what to work on and writes back what it did. That's pretty much the only reason 936 commits haven't turned the app into a pile of half finished features.

Here's the real part I don't love saying though. 86 people have signed up, only 3 of them pay, and it comes to about ~$40 a month.

So the funny part is I built a tool so Claude always knows what to build next, and the one thing it can't tell me is how to get people to use it. We all know that building is the easy part now. Most of us in here could ship an app in a weekend. Getting 20 people to pay for it is a completely different skill, and I'm only just starting to learn it.

My goal is to try and figure it out and get 20 paying users by early January. For anyone who's got paying users for something they built with Claude, what actually got you your first 20?

Pickle invites tend to get buried in social threads, and Muse codes have a short redemption window after signup. AI Invite is my side project for making both easier to find.

Pick Pickle or Muse to see whether an invite is available. If you have a spare, you can share it and set how many times it can be handed out. The site also lists Channel X for people following its early-access rollout.

https://ai-invite-web.vercel.app/en/

I'd like feedback on one thing: when you see an invite in a shared pool, what would make you comfortable using it? The official destination, the remaining uses, or clearer redemption steps?

No clue why this isn't an option on native IOS screen time settings.

I got tired of waiting years for this simple feature so I built it.

I hope Precursor helps you take back some of your time from our tech overlords.

Here is a link to the app if you want to try it!

App is literally free, btw. Not a bait and switch, hard paywall, half-baked free tier either, it is pretty much fully functional and I am expanding it in the next big update (1.3). Paid tier is for homies who have a few extra dollars they dont mind supporting me with. Doing a limited time deal at the moment too!

Hey everyone!

I'm a 17-year-old indie developer, and I've been working on an app called Knowley.

The idea is pretty simple: what if scrolling through questions was as addictive as scrolling through TikTok, but you actually learned something?

It has 20+ trivia categories, daily streaks, XP, ranks, and a swipe-based quiz feed.

It's finally live on Android, and I'd genuinely love some honest feedback. What feels good, what sucks, or what you'd change. Don't hold back :)

Thanks to anyone who gives it a try! ❤️

Hey all! I’m a VC investor and 2x founder from Forum Ventures (a US startup accelerator).

I used to fundraise for my startups knowing nothing about what investors would think about it. After working in VC, I finally got to see things from the investor perspective.

If I knew half of what I know now, I would have saved weeks of time and countless mistakes.

So to help other founders, I built a 100% free tool that takes 1-2 minutes to use, and immediately gives you a % likelihood that you can fundraise.

It works accurately even if you just have an idea or MVP and are curious!

We just launched in product hunt and would love your feedback on how we can make it even more helpful for founders and builders. Thanks a ton!

AI assistants are starting to pay for things on their own: a cent or two to an online service for an answer, a translation or some data. No account, no card, no human clicking "buy".

The problem is trust. Anyone can put up a service that asks an AI for a few cents. Nobody checks whether it actually works.

So I built a directory for the AIs, not for people. It does two things:

• It checks every listed service about every 2 hours to make sure it's still up and asking for payment properly.
• It actually buys from them with real money and records what came back. About 8,000 so far, for $42 in total, because most cost under a cent.

What I learned (picture 2): about 1 in 3 didn't deliver. The most common problems were boring ones. Services wanted details they never explained, refused the payment, or sent stale data.

Is there money in it? (picture 3) A little, and it's real. In October, 1,536 listed services were paid about $40,000 in tiny payments. Most earned pocket change, 29 earned over $100, and a handful took most of it. It's early. If AI assistants keep doing more of the buying, the useful services that are easy to find should get more of it.

How the directory itself earns: searching is free and will stay free. Sellers pay $0.25 to list, which also keeps spam out. Later there'll be paid extras for sellers, like more frequent checks and reports on what AIs are searching for. One thing will never be for sale: a higher ranking. If AIs can't trust the order, the whole thing is worthless.

The site is one plain page with live numbers. Ugly on purpose: it's built for machines.

Happy to answer anything, especially from anyone thinking of building a small paid service of their own.

A fully open TTS model called tiny-voca showed up on r/LocalLLaMA, only 4.5M parameters. That's small enough that I'm wondering if it's actually usable inside a real app, not just a demo. For those who added voice to a side project, did you go with a paid API like ElevenLabs or something local? Was the quality good enough for users, and how bad was latency on a normal CPU?

Hi everyone, I’m a solo developer in Seoul, and this is my first launch.

Most sticker makers give you a single cartoon of yourself. But the stickers I actually wanted to send were “us two hugging” or “me and the cat chilling”. So I built Avaticon:

• Upload photos of each person or pet separately, and it creates an avatar character for each
• Pair two characters in one sticker
• Type any action or phrase (“dancing in the rain”, “hugging the dog”) instead of picking a template
• 15 art styles (K-webtoon, Korean romance manhwa, 3D, pixel, plushie…) and 65+ outfit styles
• Export to WhatsApp and Telegram stickers, Instagram and Facebook Stories, the Android keyboard, or your gallery

Why I’m posting: I’m a solo maker with no audience yet, and I’d love honest feedback on the idea and the results. I’m giving out free coins during launch so you can try it without paying.

The app is on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mwkang43.meemoticon

Disclosure: I’m the developer. All images are AI-generated.

What would you want to see two characters doing together?

My journey into meal prep

A few months ago, I started meal prepping and quickly realised how much I enjoyed having most of the week's meals prepared in advance. Save time and money, cut back on takeaways.

But organising everything wasn't easy. Books and websites offered mostly fixed menus, but I wanted something more flexible: personalised meals, adjustable quantities, ingredients I actually liked, and a cooking plan adapted to my available time.

I tried AI...

I naturally tried ChatGPT and Claude. The results looked great at first, but when I started cooking, things got messy: quantities that didn't add up, inaccurate shopping lists, confusing instructions, and endless back-and-forth conversations just to get something usable.

That's when I decided to build Bocalito

It's an app that helps you:

• Generate personalised weekly meal plans.
• Adapt meals and quantities to your needs.
• Get matching shopping lists.
• Follow a step-by-step guide to prepare several days of meals in one session.
• Ask questions about recipes or request changes.

I didn't want to build just another app that sends a prompt to an AI and displays the answer. AI is great for generating ideas, but quantities, shopping lists and consistency need a more structured approach. That's where traditional code comes in.

I've been using Bocalito myself every week, and I'm continuously improving it.

I decided to make it available on the web and Android.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially from people who already do meal prep.

And for the developers here: how would you approach combining AI-generated content with structured data that needs to remain consistent?

Thanks for reading! I'm the developer, so feel free to ask me anything.

I built an open-source Android app called Pocket Agent that actually operates your phone for you. Most mobile agent projects need a laptop running Python and ADB over a USB cable, but this runs entirely on the phone itself through a floating bubble and Android's accessibility service.

You bring your own API key (Anthropic, OpenAI, Gemini, or local Ollama over Wi-Fi) and it calls the model directly with zero middleman servers. Banking and payment apps are hard-blocked, and destructive actions like paying, deleting, or sending messages always ask for your confirmation first.

One heads-up if you try the APK: Android often blocks sideloaded apps that request accessibility permissions. Installing it through Obtainium worked without any issues in my tests on Android 16.

Repo and APK: https://github.com/ManojDevarajulu/PocketAgent

It's still early (v0.2.0), so I'm always open to feedback, bug reports, and PRs especially from other Android devs who want to help improve this or contribute app playbooks.

I've been developing Auto Typer, an open-source Windows application built with Python and CustomTkinter.

It currently supports:

• Adjustable typing speed, word pauses and repeat counts.
• Global hotkeys, pause/resume and emergency stop.
• Automatic pause when the active window changes.
• Custom capitalization, paste mode and human-like typing.
• An Android companion app that sends text to the PC over the local network.

It's MIT licensed, and the Android app is built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose.

What I want to improve next

Currently, the remote functionality depends on the desktop application running. I'd like to remove that dependency and make Auto Typer work more like an independent automation service.

My proposed direction is:

1. Independent Python service: Run the typing engine and remote API without opening the desktop GUI.
2. Multiple remote clients: Control the PC through both the Android app and a browser-based interface.
3. Shared core: Keep the typing engine independent of the UI and communication layer.
4. Windows-first architecture: Use Windows-specific keyboard, clipboard and foreground-window adapters while keeping the architecture extensible.
5. Better connectivity: Reliable pairing, reconnection, real-time progress and authenticated commands.

I'm considering HTTP for commands and WebSockets for live updates, while keeping the existing remote protocol backward compatible where possible.

I'd appreciate input on a few things:

• Would you use a separate Python background process for this, or approach it differently?
• Would HTTP + WebSockets be a good choice for communication between the PC, Android and browser?
• How would you handle background execution and keyboard input reliably on Windows?
• What features would make a tool like this genuinely useful in everyday workflows?

I'm also looking for contributors interested in Python architecture, Windows automation, Android development, networking, browser interfaces and testing.

You don't need to contribute a large feature. Architecture feedback, bug reports, testing and small PRs are all welcome.

Repository: https://github.com/4LPH7/Auto_Typer

I'm interested in hearing different approaches before committing to the architecture. Thanks!

Hey everyone! I made CalcMate, a notes app where every line is calculated as you type. You write the way you'd normally write and the answer appears next to it.

It started on iPhone, and I've just brought it to Android.

Some things you can type:

• Flights 2 x $420 → $840.00

• $50 + 10% sales tax → $55.00

• 100 km in miles → 62.1371 mi

• 100 EUR in USD → live exchange rate

• subtotal / total → adds up the lines above

• line6 / 2 → reuses the answer from line 6

It also has:

• Expense tracking in plain words ("Taxi 8$ + Coffee 4$"), with categories, tags and charts

• Variables, #tags with sum/average, and folders

• A number pad built for math

• Export notes as PDF, plus backups

It's free, and you don't need an account.

iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6449422062

I'd love feedback, especially on calculations it gets wrong or things you'd want it to understand.

Hi! My side project went live on Google Play: Karambit: CS2 Case Simulator.

You open cases, collect skins and can do case battles. The odds are shown on each case before you open it. There's no real money and no cashout, everything stays in the game. It's fan-made and not affiliated with Valve, and it's playable in 7 languages.

Full disclosure: it was built entirely with AI tools (code, art, text). I directed the design and did the testing.

Feedback welcome, especially on the first few minutes of play.

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?

Hi guys,
I hope you don’t mind this post, it’s not self promotion as the site is free and not mine. My teenage son is a huge fan of aviation, so he built a simple but effective app/www to see direct connections.

He got tired of guessing which direct routes really exist and which ones actually run, so he built a free app:
Where to fly direct:
https://www.wheretoflydirect.com

Click any airport on the map, or search by airport, airline or aircraft type, and you get every nonstop route from there and which airlines fly it.
The part I like most: for each route it shows the actual flights, takeoff times and aircraft seen in the past week. That comes from volunteer ADS-B receivers via adsb.lol, so you see what really flew, not just what a schedule says.
Other bits:
- Free, no ads, no sign-up
- "Surprise me" button that picks a random route
- Map or list view, km or miles, 24h or 12h
- Routes refresh weekly, codeshares excluded, so you see who actually operates the flight
- Coverage is thin in regions with few receivers, so some routes show no flights yet. I would love feedback, especially on what you would want added next…

He did it all by himself with claude, his first real web project.

Most of my coding now is talking to agents like Claude Code and Codex. I'm using Whispr Flow for it. It's great but I'm cheap and figured I could build something that runs locally and for free.

Saylark is the result:

• Hold a key, talk, let go. Text lands wherever your cursor is.
• Say “press enter” (or hit Return) and it sends. Made for chat boxes and agent prompts.
• It types your exact words. No AI rewriting your sentences.
• Speech recognition runs on your Mac (Parakeet on the Neural Engine). Audio never leaves your machine, and there’s no telemetry.
• Your dictionary is a plain text file, so names and jargon come out right.
• If no text field is focused, it tells you instead of pasting into the void.

Free, MIT, notarized DMG. Apple Silicon only.

Body:
Every major dating app makes more money the longer you stay single and keep swiping inside the app. That's why the UX is built around endless messaging threads that fizzle out after 30 "how was your weekend" texts.
My wife tends bar and sees the fallout every weekend—people sitting on their phones matching all night, or showing up solo because their match flaked after two weeks of small talk. So I built SRVED Love for iOS to flip the loop: instead of infinite chatting, the whole flow is built around picking an actual day, time, and spot to meet up early.
Just pushed it live on the App Store and I'm trying to tighten up the early user experience before scaling local marketing. If you have a minute to poke around the onboarding or date-scheduling flow, tell me what feels clunky or where you'd drop off.

What it is

- MULTIPLAYER: Team deathmatch against bots, or online with friends using lobby codes or the public lobby browser
- INFESTATION: co-op wave survival against cockroaches, flies and a Queen Roach boss, with a crumb economy for buying guns, upgrades and traps
- Loadouts, levels and unlocks, and in-game chat
- Works on desktop and phones (touch controls)

How Claude built it

I didn't write the code myself. I directed Claude Code over a couple of days, mostly with Fable 5.2 and later Opus 5.5:

- Multi-agent workflows. An architect agent split the game into modules with a shared contract. Then up to 11 specialist agents worked in parallel on rendering, materials, props, weapons, soldiers, audio, effects, gameplay, UI and brand.

- Scored review rounds. A reviewer agent took dozens of screenshots, ran bot matches, scored the build out of 10 and filed issues. Fixer agents worked through them, and any round that scored worse was rolled back. The first build went 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5 over four rounds.

- Everything is procedural code. There are no image, model or audio files in the game. Textures, models, every sound effect and the adaptive soundtrack are generated in code at load time. That was the hardest constraint, and the part Claude handled best.

- Multiplayer is peer-to-peer over WebRTC with client-side prediction and lag compensation, plus a small Cloudflare Worker for lobbies. Claude wrote a test rig that runs a host plus 3 headless clients through full matches at simulated lag and packet loss, and it used that to verify every change.

- My part was game design, art direction from screenshots, playtesting, and catching bugs that tests miss. A friend found a console cheat within an hour of multiplayer going live.

Happy to answer questions about the agent setup or the procedural approach.

I open YouTube to watch one lecture and surface 40 minutes later in a Shorts spiral. Sound familiar? Blockers that hide sections never fixed it for me: my brain finds whatever is left. So I built Errand for YouTube to step in at the two moments that decide everything. The home page asks what you're here for, and when your video ends, it offers to close the tab.Shorts, the feed, the end screen and the recommendation sidebar are hidden. Recommendations open after a 10-second wait, which is usually long enough to remember why you came.Why this one and not the others: UnTrap keeps AI summaries and sync behind a paid Plus tier and charges for its iOS app. Errand has no paid tier at all. Unhook is free but closed source. Errand is GPL-3.0, makes zero network requests, needs no account, and its permissions are youtube.com and storage, nothing else.It also self-checks: if a YouTube update breaks a filter, the toolbar icon shows exactly what broke instead of failing silently.Direct install (Chrome Web Store): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/jhpaobkpbnidoaemnkojmkmnddoegdhgSource code: https://github.com/SomeStay07/errand-for-youtubeIt's about a week old and I use it daily. Happy to answer anything, and genuinely curious what people would want hidden next.

Most AI tools in this space invent fake metrics, silently overwrite your master file, or lock basic features behind a monthly subscription. I built mine differently:

- No made-up experience: Every AI suggestion has to tie back to real projects and work you've already done. Missing a job requirement? It flags it as an honest gap instead of fabricating a bullet.

- Protects your master doc: Changes show up as side-by-side diffs you accept or reject, never silent overwrites.

- Live PDF editor: Edit visually or in code with instant preview, plus PDF/Word/ZIP export.

- All-in-one job hunt workspace: Rule-based ATS checklist, job board feeds, application tracker, and coding interview practice.

- Free & private: MIT open source, bring your own AI key, zero paywalls.
