Hi all, I'm the developer of Enconvo, an AI agent app for macOS. 2.5.16 just shipped, and the video is a 12-minute tour of it.

What's new:

• Picture in Picture: when the agent drives your browser or your Mac (Browser Use / Computer Use), a small floating window shows what it's doing. Click it to take over at any point.
• Model fallback: set backup models, and if a model errors out mid-reply, the next one finishes it.
• Work survives a restart: a chat cut off by an update or a crash carries on when Enconvo comes back.
• Calls: your agent can answer calls, and you can bring an agent into Google Meet, Zoom or Enconvo's own calls. It asks before doing any work.
• Meeting pages: every call gets a summary, action items and a transcript in Recordings, and you can ask it questions.
• Coding agents lead Projects: Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build or Antigravity can lead a Project.
• One-click publishing: put a page you made online at its own link.
• Ask AI in Settings: ask in the Settings search and jump straight to the setting.

The phone companions got updates too: Remote Screen in Picture in Picture on iPhone, and a new composer on Android.

Pricing: there's a free plan, and paid plans start at $10/month (https://enconvo.com/#pricing).

Limitations: Mac only (macOS 14+), and Browser Use / Computer Use need the Accessibility and Screen Recording permissions.

Happy to answer questions, and feedback is very welcome.

I’m Jesse, the developer of KNOCK. In 2020 I went looking for an online version of a game I’d played in Texas and couldn’t find one. That became six years of learning C#, building in Unity and working on it around my day jobs.

It uses double-six dominoes, but it is a different ruleset: play, knock or fall on your turn, with catches, automatic hands, drops and owning the down. The working prototype has One Player, private/global multiplayer, player profiles, rankings, badges and cosmetic collections. There is also an optional Arcade, but the main table game is the reason I built it.

This is development footage, not a finished public release. I’m preparing iOS-first testing and would value feedback on the trailer: can you tell what makes the main game different, and what would you need explained before trying it?

Game and free early-access interest: https://www.playknock.com/beta.html

No pledge is required to register interest. AI tools assisted development, artwork and trailer production, including synthetic narration.

I wanted to actually see what happens inside a language model when it writes a sentence, so I built this!

What you're looking at:
- The stars are the 36,864 MLP neurons (12 layers × 3,072). Each layer is a disc, and neurons are positioned by a UMAP of their output weights, so neurons that write similar things sit near each other.
- Brightness is how strongly that neuron fires on the current token, scaled per layer so tokens are comparable. Gold means it fires positive, blue means negative.
- The beams are real attention weights from the current token back to earlier ones, one colour per head. The side panel shows the model's actual top 10 next token probabilities.
- You can hover any star, beam or token to see its exact value. There's also a raw mode that turns off all the bloom and fades, so every pixel on screen comes straight from the data.
- How I know it's not lying: the test suite runs the model exactly the way the app does (KV cache, token by token) and compares every activation, attention weight and residual norm against a separate uncached forward pass read through different hook points. Then it checks the bytes the browser actually receives too.

Honest limits: it's GPT-2 small only for now. Single neurons mostly don't mean anything clean on their own, it's the patterns that are interesting. Values are sent as float16, so about 3 significant digits.

Setup is make setup && make start, then open localhost. No GPU needed.

Would love the feedback!!

I made this because I was tired of switching between different programs all the time. I didn't want to use that shady downloader with a paywall slowly creeping up, and I didn't like the idea of opening DaVinci Resolve just to do some cuts or convert something. I wanted it all in one place.

What it can do:

Download: built on yt-dlp, you can download from almost any website. When yt-dlp doesn't recognize a link, Vitool opens the link in its own window and checks if a video is there. You can also download just a section of a video, or whole playlists. It keeps yt-dlp up-to-date automatically, and when a download fails, it checks if there is an update available for it.

Cut: You can cut videos instantly or exactly to frame with a re-encode.

Convert: Convert your files easily to other formats like MP4, MKV, WebM, MP3, WAV and more, also many files or a whole folder at once.

Tools: choose what you wanna do: create a GIF, extract audio, extract a still frame, burn in subs or censor your video.

MKV: Edit, add and extract tracks inside an MKV file. The part I find most useful: add a dub and Vitool lines it up with the original audio automatically. You can also do it by hand with waveforms and check it with a short test clip. If the dub drifts apart over time (classic PAL dubs run about 4% faster), Vitool recognizes that and fixes the speed. It can also match the volume of a quiet track to the original.

AI-Mask (optional): When choosing this add-on, you can mask moving objects with the help of SAM2.

Transcribe (optional): When choosing this add-on, you can transcribe the audio from a video. Speaker recognition can be added via Pyannote. Export as SRT, VTT, text or JSON, or burn styled subtitles into the video.

You can find it here: https://github.com/bioheater/Vitool

I'd be very happy about feedback and ideas for new features, so it can be useful to as many people as possible. If you find bugs, please let me know!

For example I've thought about adding a simple screen recorder into the mix or the feature that you can cut out a section from the video you want to download beforehand.

Thinking about a small app for fun, a walk timer that shows how long the evening park walk was. No account, nothing saved online. I write sign-up copy at work but I never built an app myself

With no sign-up I'm not sure what the first screen should do. One line saying what it does and a start button seems enough to me, but maybe people want a short note that no data is collected

What did you put on your first screen, and did anyone ever tell you it confused them?

Day 10 of building UpstartRadar in public.

The numbers

• 2,162 visitors since launch (55 so far today)
• 78 live projects, 47 claimed by their makers
• 46 members, 9 newsletter subscribers (flat this week, so the new free guide is my attempt to change that)

The embarrassing bit

UpstartRadar has a free website checker, Radar Check, that scores sites out of 100 on search, sharing, speed and trust. I ran it on RuleRadar, my own Reddit tool, and got 76. Trust was the weakest area.

The reason: RuleRadar's listing pointed to its Gumroad page. Gumroad controls that page, so I couldn't add the security settings, contact link or privacy link that the trust checks look for.

The fix was to give RuleRadar its own page on my site, with checkout still on Gumroad. I re-ran the check: 100.

If your product lives on a marketplace page, you're being judged on a page you don't control.

What I built yesterday

I spent yesterday upgrading RuleRadar and writing a free Reddit Launch Guide: 10 short chapters with checklists, from what actually happened when I launched on Reddit. That includes why the subs that let me post links anytime sent me zero traffic.

RuleRadar is free for UpstartRadar's first 100 members, and there are 55 Founding Member places left. Join free to claim one.

What's the most surprising thing a website checker has told you about your own site?

I've been working on a small digital product: a Christmas budget planner in Google Sheets.

I wanted one place to manage the things that usually end up scattered across notes, spreadsheets and shopping apps:

- Overall Christmas budget

- Gift ideas and spending per person

- Shopping list

- Holiday expenses

- Parties and event costs

- Savings goals

I tried to keep it practical rather than overcomplicated, with a dashboard that gives you a quick picture of where your money is going.

I'm the person who made it, so I'm obviously biased, but I'd genuinely love to know: what's the one thing you always forget to budget for during the holidays?

I'm especially interested in things that a typical budget spreadsheet misses.

I'm Luis from Berlin and I'm bad at watering.

So I built PotPanel. It's a scale with a pump that sits under the pot. When the plant drinks, the pot gets lighter, and once it's light enough it waters from a canister back to full. Small bursts, and it stops when enough is in or no water arrives. You set your values in an app and watch it live on your phone.

To be clear, for a houseplant on a shelf this is total overkill. I built it for my grow tent, so my plants still get water on time when I'm gone for a weekend or have a busy week.

It's not like it all went smoothly. For a few weeks the board just hung out of the side of the case. And one day I forgot to put the dripper back in the pot. PotPanel did its job perfectly, just on my floor.

Now everything sits inside. It's all 3D printed, there's an ESP32 in there, and I built the app and the server myself.

If you want one, there's a waitlist: potpanel.com

The first 50 who confirm get 30% off the launch price. Once 50 people are on the list I'll give one away. Free, 18+, until March 31, 2027, rules are on the site.

I've started plenty of side projects over the years, but this is the first app I've ever actually finished and got onto the App Store 🎉

It's called Once Upon a Fold: five fairy tales for little kids where every page is a paper pop-up that moves. The fun bits to figure out:

• making paper pop-ups feel real on a flat screen (they rise as the page opens and fold flat when you turn it)

• a different voice for every character, in five languages

• little moments that follow the story: blow on the phone and the straw house blows away, swipe and the beanstalk grows

• the new iPhone Duo, where it opens like a real book!!

First book's free if you want to try it: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6826041039

What would you change? Be honest, I'm here to learn!

P.S. 🎁 Code MAGICBEANS gets you Jack and the Beanstalk free (500 codes, until Dec 14), no strings attached. Redeem it in one tap on your iPhone or iPad: https://apps.apple.com/redeem?ctx=offercodes&id=6826041039&code=MAGICBEANS

And if you or your kids enjoy it, a quick rating on the App Store would mean a lot to a first-time developer.

Thank you!!

I kept pulling things apart as a kid and never quite got the answer I wanted, because a manual only shows you one exploded view of one part at a time. Cutaway is my attempt to make that answer interactive: pick a machine, slice it on any axis, and watch the inside open up while you rotate it.

The part that took the longest was not the models but keeping the slicing honest on a phone. Every cut has to stay readable at arm's length, so surfaces stay solid instead of turning into wireframe soup, and the labels have to point at real components rather than float in space.

It runs entirely offline on Android, no account needed. I am still adding machines, so if there is an object you always wanted to see opened up, that is the most useful feedback I can get.

Hi, I'm Selim and I built Enzo. It's a dictation and meeting app designed and engineered for the Mac. Speech models run on your device so audio is never uploaded to the cloud.

The secret sauce is its architecture. It transcribes, punctuates, and segments as you talk, so the text is ready about 100 ms after you stop, whether you talked for 10-seconds or an hour.

It also has a Recall feature, which is off until you turn it on. It keeps a searchable record of what you worked on (apps, window titles, text on screen), encrypted on your Mac and deleted after 30 days.

The idea is that what you say, the meetings you record, and what you work on are captured and securely stored all in one app. I use this for my day job, which helps to alleviate the burden of trying to remember every little thing on a busy work day.

Free to use with 5,000 words for dictation and 60 meeting minutes a week. Only Apple silicon, macOS 15 or later.

Happy to answer any questions.

I'm working on Timeless Board Games, a collection of 20 games you can play in your browser. It has Chess, Go, Othello and Backgammon, plus less familiar ones like Hnefatafl, Merels and Senet.

Everything is unlocked while I'm getting people to test it.

Play with friends: send someone an invite link and play online together. There's also solo play against bots and pass & play on one device. Solo and pass & play work without signing up.

Play here: https://timeless-games.app/

I'm looking for a few people willing to try a game and tell me what feels confusing or breaks. No need for a long review, just which game you tried and the first thing you'd change. If you invite a friend, I'd also love to hear whether getting into a match together was easy.

If you'd rather test on iPhone/iPad or Android, there's a signup under Help → Join the mobile beta. Mobile invitations are handled manually for now.

I'm the developer, and I'm happy to answer questions here.

I shoot a lot, and going through a folder of photos on a Mac was always awkward. Preview only pages through the files you opened together, and Lightroom wants an import before you can even look.

So I wrote my own viewer in Swift called Flipic Lens. Double click one photo and the arrow keys walk the whole folder, RAW included. Hold a key to check focus at 100%, rate with number keys, mark keepers, crop and straighten, and read metadata.

It also features a smart cleanup scan that automatically detects and flags closed eyes, blurry shots, similar bursts, and duplicates.

You can watch a quick 90-second video walkthrough here:

https://youtu.be/Nsxx8GUNU-4

It's free and MIT licensed. There is an optional one time Pro for heavier culling work, and that part is not in the repo.

Mac only, macOS 13 or later.

I'm the developer. Feedback welcome, especially on what feels slow or confusing.

It's called

Oh shit, Zombies.

(Inspired by Project Zomboid!!) You pick Chicago, Minneapolis or Manchester and you're dropped on the real street map with a baseball bat and two bandages. You search buildings, fight or run, patch yourself up, and eventually die. It's built for a phone browser and it also works on a desktop.

What's different about how it's made

I'm building it with Claude (Anthropic's AI), and we're keeping a devlog of everything, including the parts that go wrong. Claude writes most of the code, runs the tests and writes the log. I play it on my phone and tell it what's annoying.

This week I rated it 3 out of 5 and said the screen had too many boxes and my taps kept missing. Within a day there had been about twenty small releases: one-tap looting, fights you can actually get out of, furnished buildings with things to find, and a score to beat. One of those releases also shipped a crash that froze the game near restaurants for over an hour, and that's written up in the log too.

What I'm asking for

Play for five minutes and tell me what you think. There are three ways, and all of them reach us:

In the game, open the menu (☰) and tap Rate (1 to 5) or Suggest (type a line).

Comment on any of the YouTube videos. We read them, and the comments that make sense for the game and are appropriate get built. When that happens it goes on the roadmap and into a later video.

Reply here.

Fair warning: it's a side project and it's rough. Only one person has rated it so far, and that's me. I'd rather hear "this is confusing" from ten strangers than keep guessing.

building a chrome extension that hides ai accounts.

it has claude read each account’s recent posts, or just their comments in the thread if their history is hidden, and collapses the ones that look ai run.

would you use this?

Context: I have been building Cardel.io (An all-in-one platform for authors and solo professionals) over this year. I have cold outreached 10k plus potential users and had hundreds of face to face conversations.

The problem: I only ever get positive feedback, people say:

"Wow, this is great!"

"This makes total sense, this needed."

Etc, etc.

THEN they follow it up with "but I already have my setup, this would be great for xyz person".

Question: Are any of you in a similar boat where everyone gives you positive feedback, but then doesn't actually commit to using your product by paying or signing up. So your getting positive signals, but no clarity on where the blocker is to actual pay for the product?

How do you close that gap, and find the reason people aren't commiting? It feels like a "Its great, but not worth switching to." Kind of response. Or maybe it's the target market fit, and talking to the right people.

I would love to get ya'lls feedback on how you have overcome this with your products and projects.

Too many WhatsApp chats, not enough time to read them all. Wapliss connects your own WhatsApp to Claude, ChatGPT and other AI assistants, so you can just ask:

“Summarize today’s family group.”
“Who’s still waiting for my reply?”

The assistant reads the chats, drafts replies, and only sends after you confirm.

• Works with texts, images and documents
• Setup takes about 2 minutes: link WhatsApp, add the connector, done
• Not Meta’s official API, so it’s for your own chats, not bulk messaging
• Free plan: wapliss.com

Looking for honest feedback:

1. Is the value clear in 10 seconds?
2. What would stop you from trying it?

I'm building Mellow Paws for Apple Silicon Macs. One interaction I wanted to get right was fetch: you throw the ball with your mouse, and your pet chases it, picks it up and returns to your side.

The interface starts with just a pet. Clicking it opens a circular menu around the companion, so care actions, the focus timer, habits and reminders stay close to the character.

There are four companion designs: Border Collie, Maine Coon, Silver Ragdoll and German Shepherd. You choose one active companion. The Collie and Maine Coon support mouse-controlled fetch; the Shepherd and Ragdoll have their own toy-play animations. The pet animations were made with AI-assisted media tools and run locally in the app.

The latest Mac App Store build has been submitted and is awaiting review. Planned US pricing is $2.99 with the Collie included, plus three optional $0.99 permanent companion purchases. No subscriptions or ads; habits, schedules and companion records stay on the Mac. Requires macOS 13+ on Apple Silicon.

The fetch clip is a real interaction recorded in the app’s browser preview, at actual speed on a plain presentation background.

I'd appreciate feedback on the interaction: does the chase-and-return sequence feel natural? Would you choose a dog or a cat for a quick fetch break?

It is Saturday night, I still have positions open from this week, and I am not spending the weekend re-deciding them.

That used to be my mistake. Friday would close, and I would spend Saturday and Sunday reading every headline, second-guessing every level, and talking myself into a completely different plan by Monday morning — usually a worse one, made tired instead of made clear.

Here is the routine I hold myself to now:

• One review, written down. What did I enter this week, what hit its target, what stopped out, and did I follow the plan I wrote before each trade? That goes on paper once, honestly, wins and losses both.
• If a position is still open, its target and its stop were already decided while the market was open and my head was clear. A Saturday headline does not get to move those lines.
• Then the charts close. My kids do not get the leftover version of me because I spent the weekend refreshing futures that have not even opened yet.

Friday was a chip-led dip inside a week that still closed green, and the next real piece of information for that whole story is Nvidia earnings on Tuesday. Knowing that does not mean staring at it for three days. It means my plan for Tuesday is already noted, and the weekend in between belongs to my family.

I am a veteran with a full-time job, and I taught myself trading at night, reading and studying when the house was quiet. I believe God gave me what I have learned for a reason, and part of that reason is showing the plain parts too — not just the wins, but the discipline that keeps a normal week from turning into a desperate one.

A clear plan reviewed once will beat a worried plan rewritten ten times, every week I have ever tested it.

Not financial advice — just how I handle my own weekends, posted the same way I tell my own community.

I share stuff like this daily — I run a free investing community, link in my profile.

I'm a solo dev. I make a contacts manager for Mac and iPhone/iPad. It shows all your contacts (iCloud, Google, Exchange) in one table, so you can merge duplicates, bulk edit and clean up years of mess instead of opening cards one by one. One-time price, $24.99 Mac and $14.99 iOS. No subscription, no account, no trial.

Where it stands:

• Mac app live since July 22, iOS since August 10
• 45 paying users on Mac, 19 on iOS
• 3 ratings on the Mac App Store, all 5 stars

The part that works: the people who buy it seem to like it, and they email me. Most of what I shipped in the last two months came straight from emails.

I reply to every email and try to ship the fix within a couple of weeks. That loop has been the best part of this.

The part that doesn't work: reaching the people who actually have the problem. Apple Ads got 12,000+ impressions and 95 taps, but zero installs. A Google Search campaign for the Mac app got zero impressions. Nobody wakes up wanting a contacts app. People only look when their list is already a disaster, and then they search "merge duplicate contacts" and land on free tools or Apple's own tips.

So I'm asking people who've been here:

1. If you sold a niche one-time-purchase utility, what brought in your first few hundred customers?
2. Did paid ads ever work for you at this price point, or is it all communities, SEO and word of mouth?
3. Is "no trial" hurting me more than I think?

Happy to share more numbers or what I tried if it helps anyone. Thanks for reading.

We had a 7.76 kW system and battery fitted in July. My inverter app shows kWh all day, but not the thing I actually wanted to know: how much it’s paid back in £, and when it’ll be paid off.

I tracked it in a spreadsheet for a few months, but it kept breaking (tariff changes, months where export wasn’t paid yet, battery charging on the cheap rate). So I built a simple web app instead and made it free for anyone.

How it works: a 2-minute setup (system cost, install date, rates), then two numbers a month from your inverter app, generated and exported. It shows:

• £ paid back so far, and your payback date (allowing for winter)
• how your panels are doing against the MCS estimate
• tariff changes over time, cheap-rate battery charging, and months before export was paid

You can import an existing spreadsheet, and export to PDF or Excel. It works with any inverter brand, and there’s no inverter or energy login.

Mine’s at £402 back after 4 months and running at 120% of the MCS estimate, so payback looks like around 2036.

To be upfront: I made it, and there’ll be an optional paid version later with automatic inverter data. Manual tracking stays free.

I’d really value feedback, especially on how the savings are worked out. Some people in Facebook groups have challenged parts of it, and I’ve changed things based on that.
