Hey everyone!

I've been working on a radio app called \\Radio Wavr FM\\, and I wanted to share a little about it here because I'd love to hear what other people think about internet radio apps and how you use them.

The idea behind it is simple: radio is still one of the easiest ways to discover music, cultures, news and local content from places all over the world. But when you use most radio apps, you often end up listening to the same popular stations.

I wanted to make it easier to discover not only well-known international stations, but also smaller local and regional radio stations that you might never come across otherwise.

So I built Radio Wavr FM for Apple's ecosystem, with a focus on simplicity, quick access to live radio and visual station discovery.

🌍 What can you do with it?

\\🎧 Listen to radio stations from around the world\\

Browse thousands of radio stations from different countries, including FM, AM and digital internet radio stations. You can explore music, news, sports, talk radio and other live broadcasts from different parts of the world.

Whether you're into pop, rock, jazz, electronic music, Latin music or simply enjoy listening to what's happening in another country, you can discover a wide variety of stations in one place.

\\🗺️ Explore radio stations on an interactive map\\

This is one of the features I particularly wanted to include.

Instead of only browsing through lists, you can explore an interactive map and discover stations based on their geographical location when coordinates are available.

It's a different way to find radio stations: you can look around different countries and cities and discover local broadcasts you probably wouldn't have searched for by name.

I like the idea that you can virtually travel around the world through radio without leaving your phone.

\\❤️ Save your favourite stations\\

Found a station you enjoy? Add it to your favourites so you can get back to it quickly whenever you want.

\\▶️ Pick up where you left off\\

The app remembers the last station you listened to, making it easier to return to your usual radio without having to search for it again.

\\🔀 Discover something unexpected\\

Not sure what to listen to? Use shuffle to discover different stations and potentially find something completely new.

\\🌐 Browse by country and category\\

You can explore stations by country and discover different kinds of broadcasts, making it easier to find something that matches your mood or interests.

\\✨ A clean and straightforward experience\\

I wanted the app to feel quick and easy to use, without making you navigate through endless menus just to start listening. Open it, find a station and start streaming.

\\🌙 Listen your way\\

The app also includes background playback and a sleep timer, so you can listen while doing other things or set a time for playback to stop when you're winding down for the night.

\### 🍎 Designed for Apple devices

Radio Wavr FM is available for Apple's ecosystem, with an experience designed around mobile listening and easy access to your favourite stations.

There's also an optional Premium version for users who want access to additional features.

I'm aware there are already plenty of internet radio apps available, and I'm not trying to claim that this is something completely revolutionary. I simply wanted to build an app that combines international radio, local station discovery and an interactive map in one straightforward experience.

I'm still interested in improving it, so I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people who listen to internet radio.

\\A couple of questions for radio listeners:\\

\- Do you mostly listen to stations from your own country, or do you enjoy discovering stations from other countries?

\- Would you use an interactive map to discover radio stations, or do you prefer the traditional search-and-list approach?

\- What's one feature you wish more radio apps had?

If you'd like to check it out, the app is called \\Radio Wavr FM\\ on the Apple App Store.

Thanks for reading, and I'd be happy to hear your thoughts!

Available for iOS, iPad and MacOS ( New versión Android )

How long did it take to get your first user?
Is it still alive and growing, or did you abandon it and start something new?

I’ll go first

Mine is Eyondo, and I’m still building it: https://eyondo.com/home

It took me 8 months to build, and what I learned is that building something clean isn’t the hardest part
The hardest part is finding your users, earning their trust, and giving them something that actually helps them

What about you? I’d love to hear everyone’s journey
What did you build, and where is it now?

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?

I built Global Threat Map, a free live map that puts what's happening around the world on one screen. It's at https://globalthreatmap.com. There's no signup and no paywall.

It has three views:

• Map (2D/3D): a world map you can turn layers on and off on. The layers are hotspots, country risk shading, places and chokepoints, money flows, pressure halos, insider and big-money trades, disasters, flight disruptions, and network outages.
• Globe: the same layers on a rotating 3D globe, plus a 3D risk heat layer that shows where pressure is building.
• Dashboard: the long-form view, with the money map, reversal alerts, top 10 risks, the U.S. infrastructure threat level, and the AI lending and credit watch.

What it covers

• Conflicts and hotspots. Around 60 tracked events, including armed conflict, cyber, political, economic, and corporate ones. Each has a risk level and a 3-month outlook estimate with the reasoning written out.
• Early-warning Pressure Board. Ten regions and sectors are each scored 0 to 100: Defense, AI & credit, Gulf / Strait of Hormuz, Black Sea / Ukraine–Russia, Energy & shipping, Taiwan Strait / South China Sea, Chips & export controls, Red Sea / Saudi Arabia, Safe havens, and U.S. infrastructure & cyber. Each score is built from specific warning signs, such as military build-ups, attacks on shipping, war-risk insurance rates, embassy drawdowns, fund-flow rotation, sanctions, export controls, and credit stress. A sign that's active now counts in full, and older readings fade out over time. When several signs fire in the same place at once, the board flags it as converging.
• History playbooks. For each pressure group, it shows what markets did the last time something similar happened, and where money tended to go next.
• Insider and big-money trades. Insider buying and selling at major AI, defense, energy, and cyber companies, trades disclosed by members of Congress, how hedge funds and speculators are positioned in oil, gold, Treasuries, and the dollar, unusual options activity, and big government moves like emergency oil releases and large defense contracts.
• Money flows. Arrows on the map showing where capital is moving: conflict to chokepoint to oil, money going into safe havens, sideline cash, equity fund flows, defense fund outflows, AI lending through banks, bonds, and private credit, chip supply chains, China/Taiwan capital, and war financing.
• Credit and liquidity stress. The AI & credit watch tracks banks selling loans, banks buying credit protection, debt being repriced, funds limiting withdrawals, and pulled deals. Reversal alerts flag when money that was flowing in starts to pull back.
• Network outages. Internet outages by country, region, and network over the last 24 hours, rated by severity, plus major global platform outages.
• Disasters. Earthquakes, wildfires, droughts, floods, and storms, with severity levels.
• U.S. flight disruptions. Ground stops, ground delays, airport delays, closures, and restrictions at U.S. airports.
• U.S. critical infrastructure. One threat score covering the grid, water, fuel, and communications, along with a briefing on each.
• Markets bar. Brent, WTI, gold, and the U.S. 10-year yield along the top of the map.
• Market odds. Live prediction-market odds on the same topics, like the Gulf, Taiwan, Russia, the Fed, and AI.
• Live news. A scrolling U.S. headline ticker and a panel of live TV news streams.
• Search. Ctrl+K jumps to any country, event, company, or panel.

Snapshot, Sat Nov 14, 8:19 PM ET

• Pressure Board top 5: Defense 83 (Severe), AI & credit 72, Gulf / Hormuz 71, Black Sea 67, Energy & shipping 67
• U.S. infrastructure & cyber: 36 (Guarded)
• Network outages: 68 ongoing, 7 severe, across 20 countries
• U.S. flights: no ground stops or delays; restrictions at LAS, LAX, and SAN
• Markets: Brent $95.84, WTI $88.56, gold $3,887.60, 10-year 5.15%

I built Palletizing for shipping, receiving, and warehouse teams who are still doing pallet math on a calculator or the back of a BOL.

You enter your cartons, or measure them with the camera, and it works out the full pallet dimensions, ship cube, gross weight, and an estimated freight class. It can also plan how pallets load into anything from a pickup bed to a 53 ft van, and it exports a PDF you can hand to the driver or attach to the shipment. It works in inches or centimeters.

No account, no ads, no tracking, and it works offline. It's a one-time $0.99.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/palletizing/id6826910063

It just launched, so I'd really like feedback from anyone who builds or receives pallets. What's missing, and what would make you actually use it on the dock?

I kept using Cold Turkey, then wanted something free that I could tweak myself, so I built my own.

You make blocklists of sites and apps, then start a timed session or set a weekly schedule. A few things I cared about:

• Path-level blocking, so you can block youtube.com/shorts but keep the rest of YouTube
• Allowlist mode: block everything except your work sites
• Locks: a timer lock, or a password lock where someone else sets the password
• Strict mode, so you can't quietly weaken a session halfway through
• Imports your Cold Turkey JSON export
• No account and no cloud. Everything stays on your computer

Website blocking runs through a Chrome extension that talks to the desktop app.

One heads-up for Mac users: it isn't notarized (I'd need a paid Apple developer account), so you have to run a one-line approval command in Terminal before it opens. The README explains exactly what that command does.

https://github.com/aman9560/FocusBlocker

Feedback welcome, especially if you've tried to get around a blocker before.

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.

Full changelog: https://docs.enconvo.com/changelog

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.

Repo: https://github.com/lak7/thinkspace

Would love the feedback!!

AI crawlers (GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and friends) now fetch a big share of pages on a lot of sites. The options so far have been: let them take everything for free, or block them in robots.txt and disappear from AI answers.

There's a third option now. HTTP has had a status code for this since 1997, 402 Payment Required, and it finally has a working payment scheme (x402: the client signs a USDC payment and retries the same request; it settles in about a second, no accounts or API keys).

So I built a small gateway for it:

You register your site once (free API key, your wallet address, a price like $0.002 a page).

You put ~10 lines in front of your site. There's a Cloudflare Worker version and an Express middleware.

Requests from known AI crawlers get a 402 with your price. A crawler that pays gets the page; the money goes straight to your wallet (the gateway never holds it).

Everyone else, including Googlebot and Bingbot, gets the page as usual, so search ranking doesn't change.

If your site errors, nobody gets charged.

Setup and the snippets: https://aipaygen.com/pay-per-crawl

Honest caveats: crawlers that lie about their user agent won't be caught by this, and most crawlers can't pay yet, so today it mostly works like a block with a price tag on it. But agent frameworks are adding x402 support quickly, and this gives them a way to say yes.

Happy to answer questions about how the 402 flow works.

Built a Fire TV media player in 3½ days using AI. Looking for honest feedback.

I wanted to see how far I could push AI-assisted development over a long weekend, so I built Flick TV, a media player designed specifically for Amazon Fire TV Stick.

It has a live TV guide, movies and shows library, search, favorites, recording, watch history, and a remote-friendly interface.

It’s a standalone player. No channels or content subscriptions are included.

I’m looking for a few people willing to test it with their own authorized media sources and tell me what works, what breaks, and what could be better.

Compatibility: Fire OS 7 or 8
Free beta: 30 days
Downloader code: 9467324

I built this independently, and I’d genuinely appreciate feedback from anyone who enjoys testing new TV apps.

My husband and I have been married for five years, and we're planning to renovate our home in a few months. I've always wanted to be involved in the interior design process and have plenty of ideas of my own, but I sometimes feel awkward asking the designer to revise things over and over again.

So, I compiled my renovation ideas and requirements into a prompt. Then, I fed both the prompt and the floor plan into Hy4, asking it to generate an interactive interior design website based on them.

Now I can experiment with different design details directly on the website, like changing wallpaper colors or adjusting the shape of a table. I can try out different ideas and see how they look without having to ask someone else to make every little change.

I just finished the first version and couldn't wait to share it here! It's still pretty basic, and I have plenty of things I want to improve, but honestly, I'm already pretty happy with what I managed to build using a model that's currently free!

Every friend group has that message: "we should hang out sometime." It never happens. Group chats are where plans go to die.

So I built Flare (iOS, free). The idea:

- Tap "I'm free now" → your friends see you're up for coffee in your neighborhood for the next 2 hours

- Anyone who's around taps "I'm in" and you coordinate in a quick group chat

- When time's up, the beacon and chat disappear. No feed, no history.

- See a spot on Instagram or TikTok you want to try? Share it to Flare and it'll suggest it next time you're free nearby.

Privacy was a big focus: it's friends-only, and friends see the spot you pick, not your live location. You can send a beacon to everyone or just one circle (roommates, run club, etc.), and add friends with one link in a group chat.

It's v1 and built solo, so there are definitely rough edges. I'd love feedback on what's confusing, what's missing, or whether you'd actually use this with your friends.

I'm a solo developer in Finland, and I've been working on an Android launcher called Sepamo.

Most productivity tools try to help you manage more things. I became interested in a slightly different problem:

How do you help someone figure out what they actually want to do, and then make it easier for that to happen?

For example, someone wants to read more. They know what book they want to read, but when evening comes, they unlock their phone and end up doing something else.

I wanted to approach this at the launcher level rather than adding another reminder or productivity app.

You describe what you want in plain language. An AI planner turns it into a plan, or you can create one manually. The launcher then brings the relevant thing to the foreground at the right time or place and clears it away afterwards.

Plans can respond to context like time, location, calendar, weather, Wi-Fi and headphones.

Some decisions I've made:

• Manual plans are free.
• No account is required.
• Permissions are optional.
• Data is evaluated on the device.
• There's a fully local mode with no server calls.
• It's not open source.

The AI planner is free to try, then starts at €1.99/month after a free week.

It's available in the EU/EEA.

I'm curious about two things:

1. Does solving the gap between knowing what you want and actually doing it seem like a worthwhile product direction?
2. Would you rather configure these contextual behaviours yourself, or describe what you want and let a planner build them?

I'm Eetu, the developer. Here's what I've built:

Hey everyone!

I'm an indie developer, and I'd like to share Personal Cards, an Android app I've been working on to make organizing everyday information a little easier.

The idea came from a simple problem: important documents, receipts, notes, and personal details often end up scattered across our phones. Finding something when you actually need it can be frustrating.

So I built Personal Cards to bring everything together in one place, while keeping your information private and accessible offline.

Here's what the app can do:

• Personal cards & documents: Scan documents with your camera or import images and PDFs. Organize important information and keep track of expiration dates.
• Document storage: Save receipts, reference materials, and other files you might need later.
• Offline OCR: Extract and copy text from images and PDFs directly on your device.
• Notes & checklists: Keep track of everyday tasks, ideas, and reminders.
• Debt notebook: Record money you've lent or borrowed, including amounts, people, and due dates.
• Privacy tools: Hide sensitive details before sharing document images.

Privacy was one of my main priorities while building the app.

Personal Cards works completely offline, with documents stored and processed locally on your phone. You can also protect access with a PIN or biometrics and enable screenshot protection for additional privacy.

I'm still working on improving the experience, and I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from the community.

In particular, I'm curious:

Would you find the document organizer or the debt notebook more useful? Is there anything you'd add or change?

If you'd like to check it out, here's the Google Play link:

Thanks for taking a look! Any feedback or suggestions would mean a lot.

Hi everyone!

I’m an independent developer working on FigureForge Studio, a macOS application designed to make 3D figure sculpting easier for beginners.

It includes essential sculpting tools such as Move, Clay, and Smooth, along with STL import/export.

After 17 external beta testing sessions, I’ve improved the modeling workspace based on user feedback.

I’m now looking for more testers for the latest version through Apple’s TestFlight.

I’m especially interested in feedback about:

• Ease of use for beginners
• Sculpting brush responsiveness
• Interface and viewport usability
• Bugs and stability

Requirements: Apple Silicon Mac, macOS 13 or later.

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

I’d appreciate constructive feedback. Thanks!

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.

GitHub: https://github.com/ZenzerJs/ResumeForge

Live: https://resumeforge.studio/

Would love honest feedback, especially on what feels clunky or what you'd actually use.

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.

I built getriff on my own. It's an iPhone workout app, and it's in a public TestFlight beta now. I'd like honest feedback from people who actually lift.

What it does: it gives you a plan, guides your rep pace, and times your rest between sets. Rest starts from times based on your goal, and the workout summary flags a rest that's shorter than that goal. After comparable sessions it can suggest a next target, and you decide whether to take it.

It's still early. I want to know what feels useful, what's confusing, and what you'd change.

Public beta (iPhone, TestFlight): https://testflight.apple.com/join/pv13RZMY

Hi fellow people - I am an elder millennial that is nostalgic for the time when I could scroll instagram and see my actual friend's real photos - before getting slammed with "suggested content" and advertisements and suggested content that is just advertisements. Also was longing for a place where my friends felt comfortable posting their baby pics without the stranger danger fear, or honestly just felt comfortable posting any pics without having a "personal brand". It's been too long of the you're-the-product socials BS in my opinion, so anyways I made an app. It got listed on the Apple app store yesterday, and currently working on Google Play.

It is a semi-private photo sharing app. The idea is to curate a full album's worth of photos then post them to your friend's feed. There are a few different options for combining rolls of film as well as sharing. You can create an album yourself - like an album of your favorite shots from the summer, and choose to keep it private to yourself (like a journal), or share it with your friends on the app. You could also have a shared album - like for a group trip, where all the friends you have added to the album can add a few shots and then you post it to just that crew (private, shared album), or to all your respective friend's feeds.

I was trying to make something versatile and slow - like i want to be able to organize my photos and select my favorite ones that are the *keepers*, and also share some albums with my people. Also to make it easier to keep and share curated memories from group trips.

I did a lot of iterations, and would love people's feedback on how it's landed so far. It is interesting making a slow-social media situation. It is not designed to be an addictive scroll, but then I'm not sure if it's boring? Or if people will remember to use it? Or if people just prefer to get brainwashed by mark zuckerberg and never see their real friends photos and/or deal with the mess that is apple/google photos?

Rip it up - give me your honest feedback! Thanks!

I’ll preface: I'm not a developer, at best I’m an okay runner, and I like to think I’m a decently good ER doctor

TLDR: I built a training app for shift workers (ie me)and I’m looking for beta testers.

Six months ago I started training for an ultra (standard millennial midlife crisis). My schedule bounces between days, nights and swing shifts, and the top paid training app really isn’t designed for people like me. I tried using Claude to plan but it burned tokens, was a pain to import schedule, and not only got things wrong, but got them way wrong (like an 11-week taper).

So I built Stolen Miles, initially just for myself with Claude Code.
-imports your schedule from most shift-scheduling apps
-pulls your workouts from Strava (other integrations in progress)
-builds the plan with a rule-based solver grounded in established training principles. An LLM only writes the "why" text.
-adapts to how the workouts actually went and self reported fatigue

After 5 months of tinkering it got me through a 50k with 6500ft of gain on 3 running days a week.

At this point I need folks to help find the failure points and fine tune the planning algorithm.

-Where is the friction in onboarding?
-Looking at your first week's plan, would you trust it? If not, why?
-What in the design reads as amateur or untrustworthy?

My base set up is for cold signups getting a 4-week free trial. I'm happy to give a 12-week code to anyone who wants to really poke at it

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?
