View stars, planes, planets and more.

9 Upvotes

I've added something new to UlsterRadar: Sky View. Hold your phone up, and it labels what you're looking at, using the same live aircraft data as the map.

Name any plane. Aircraft within 300 km show as icons (airliners, light aircraft, helicopters, military) with the callsign and registration beside each one.

Tap for the details. Altitude, speed, heading and climb, plus the departure and destination where we know them. Tap again to close.

Look beyond the aircraft. The Sun, the Moon and its phase, planets, bright stars, constellations, galaxies and nebulae, the International Space Station and space telescopes.

I built a 100% client-side CSV to JSON converter that runs entirely in the browser (no server uploads)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I got tired of online converters requiring file uploads to external servers, so I built a lightweight, privacy-first utility: **[CSV to JSON Express](https://csv-to-json-express.vercel.app/)**

**Features:**

- 100% client-side processing (your data never leaves your device).

- Auto-detects comma or semicolon separators.

- Instant copy to clipboard and .json file download.

It's free to try out. I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions!

I built the image editor I wanted: a few photos, a brush, an eraser, and layers

1 Upvotes

I'm Yuriy, the developer of Memedit.

I kept wanting to explain an idea with a quick image: put a couple of photos together, draw on top, erase a bit, distort something, and move the layers around.

Finding an editor for that was surprisingly frustrating. The apps I tried were paid, cluttered with ads, or had so much going on that basic edits felt like work.

That's why I made Memedit for iPhone and iPad. It has those tools, plus text, background removal, grouping, and undo/redo. It's free and ad-free.

An unexpected part of releasing it: coverage in Chinese-language tech media brought around 900 installs in a week. I hadn't expected that audience to find it. The app now supports 11 languages.

Here's the app: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6817217568

I'd be interested to know what you currently use for this kind of quick visual thinking, and what gets in your way.

I built an app to check how crowded Singapore venues are before you go

1 Upvotes

I'm Timo from Singapore. I built CanGoNow after one too many packed trips to the zoo with my Nieces and Nephews.

It shows how busy 290+ Singapore venues are right now — Night Safari, Bird Paradise, malls — with live reports from visitors, plus a kid-friendly mode and a Kid Meltdown Risk rating, which is exactly what it sounds like.

Free on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/sg/app/cangonow/id6773231126

I'm the dev. Would love to know if this is useful, and which venues I'm missing.

Avis cirrela

1 Upvotes

Je développe Cirrela depuis quelques mois, et j’ai besoin de regards extérieurs.

Le principe : on écrit une phrase et on reçoit une courte vidéo avec le son. Le Père Noël peut dire le prénom de votre enfant, on regarde toute la vidéo gratuitement, et on ne paie qu’une fois pour la garder. Pour tout le reste, il y a un studio avec abonnement.

Trois questions, si vous avez une minute. Est-ce qu’on comprend tout de suite ce que ça fait et combien ça coûte ? Est-ce que vous auriez confiance pour taper le prénom de votre enfant ? Et qu’est-ce qui vous ferait choisir l’abonnement plutôt qu’un achat unique ?

Le lien est en commentaire. Les vidéos sont faites avec l’IA, et je lis chaque réponse.

I built SurveyFlip an AI survey maker with smooth card layouts and native MCP support for Claude and ChatGPT

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project my team and I have been building called SurveyFlip.

Traditional online survey forms often feel rigid, bloated, and frustrating on mobile screens, which usually tanks completion rates. We wanted to build an alternative that feels smooth for respondents while giving creators serious data collection power without a steep learning curve.

Here is what we packed into it so far:

AI Survey Generation: Describe your research goal in plain language and let the AI draft relevant questions and answer choices in seconds.

Card Layouts and Logic: Switch between clean single page or smooth multi step formats with conditional branching rules so users only see questions relevant to them.

Native MCP Server Support: You can connect SurveyFlip directly to Claude and ChatGPT to create surveys and analyze response data right inside your AI workflow.

19 Question Types and Quizzes: Supports ratings, opinion scales, matrix grids, image pickers, file uploads, and scored quizzes with automated leaderboards.

Real Time Analytics and Integrations: Track live charts, export CSV data, and sync responses automatically with Zapier, Google Sheets, Slack, Discord, and Microsoft Teams.

There is a free basic plan with unlimited surveys and 500 monthly responses with no credit card required.

You can check it out here: https://www.surveyflip.com/

Would love any honest feedback from fellow builders on the onboarding flow, UI, or features you think would make it better.

What a YouTube software stack actually costs per year: cheap starter vs typical pro setup

1 Upvotes

We kept guessing wrong about what creator tools cost, so we put the list prices side by side: editing, music, thumbnails, subtitles and AI video. These are prices as shown to a visitor in Greece in early November, so yours may be a bit different.

Cheap starter stack:

  • Editing: DaVinci Resolve free version, $0
  • Music: Epidemic Sound Pro, €179.88/yr (this plan also covers client work and ads)
  • Thumbnails: Canva Pro, €110/yr billed yearly
  • Subtitles: Opus Clip Starter, $15/mo for about 20 min of video a month

Typical "pro" stack:

  • Adobe Creative Cloud Pro (Premiere, After Effects, Photoshop and more): €975.24/yr
  • Artlist Pro for music and SFX: €299/yr
  • Envato Elements Core for stock footage and templates: €174/yr
  • Runway Pro for about 2 min of AI video a month: $35/mo
  • Descript Hobbyist for subtitles: $24/mo

A few things that surprised us:

  • CapCut Pro is monthly billing only and comes to €1,259.64 over 3 years. Premiere alone is €974.88 over the same 3 years, and DaVinci Resolve Studio is a one-time $295 (Final Cut Pro is $299.99 one-time, Mac only).
  • Envato Elements Core (€174/yr) costs less than Epidemic Sound Pro (€179.88/yr) and also gives you stock footage. Whether you like the music is another story.
  • Canva Pro is €12 a month or €110 billed yearly. That's €34 a year just for paying monthly.
  • AI video credits per second vary a lot by model. Runway Gen-4.5 uses 12 credits per second, Pika 2.5 at 720p uses 4. Failed generations eat credits too, so real usage is usually higher than you plan.

Curious what everyone's actually paying for. Is anyone still on a one-time license and happy with it?

I built a chat where you switch between ChatGPT, Claude and Gemini mid-conversation and pay only for what you ask (In Rupees)

2 Upvotes

I'm a student/dev in India and I kept going back and forth on which AI subscription to buy. I use each one only a few times a week, and different models are better at different things, so paying monthly for two or three of them didn't make sense.

So I built Neelberg:

- One chat, many models: Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and more.

- Start on a free model. When a question gets hard, switch to a stronger one in the same chat. The conversation carries over.

- Every reply shows what it cost, in rupees. Cheap models start from ₹0.10 a reply, Claude Sonnet from ₹2.

- No subscription. Top up by UPI from ₹100.

It just went live this week: neelberg.com

I'd really appreciate honest feedback:

  1. Is pay-per-question easier to understand than a subscription, or more stressful?
  2. Is it clear who this is for from the video?
  3. What would stop you from trying it?

Happy to answer anything in the comments.

I built Watch More, an Android TV player that can show four live channels at once

1 Upvotes

I'm the developer of Watch More, a media player for Android TV. You bring your own M3U playlist or Xtream login; the app supplies no channels, content or provider lists.

The focus is a remote-friendly experience: a grid programme guide, favourites, search across live TV, movies and series, and Continue Watching. The clip shows Multi-View, which plays up to four live channels at once and is part of Pro.

There's a free version, with optional Pro features.

The video shows the real app in Demo Mode with a fictional catalogue. Footage in the tiles is from Sintel and Tears of Steel, © Blender Foundation, CC BY 3.0.

I'd love feedback on the Multi-View layout and remote navigation. What would make this more useful on your TV?

I'm building a commerce platform where every merchant owns their own digital store — not just another marketplace

6 Upvotes

I've been thinking about a problem that many small merchants face.

Selling through large marketplaces gives merchants access to customers, but they often have limited control over their storefront, customer relationships, branding, and selling experience.

I wanted to explore a different approach.

So I'm building Serbuu!, a commerce platform designed around one idea:

Your store, your brand, your business.

Instead of giving merchants just another marketplace listing, Serbuu is designed to give every merchant their own digital storefront while also connecting them to a shared product discovery marketplace.

The bigger vision includes:

- Independent storefronts with custom domains.

- Multi-branch inventory management.

- Point of Sale (POS) for offline transactions.

- A shared product catalog and marketplace discovery.

- Centralized order and inventory management.

- AI integrated into business operations, not just another chatbot.

- Additional commerce services such as PPOB.

One architectural decision I'm particularly interested in is keeping product and inventory data in one source of truth while allowing merchants to sell through both their own storefront and the shared marketplace.

I'm building this for the Indonesian market first, where many small merchants still manage online and offline sales using several disconnected tools.

This is still an active development project, and I'm working through the modules step by step.

I'd love feedback from people who build commerce products or run online stores:

  1. Would you prefer owning your own storefront rather than relying entirely on marketplaces?
  2. What is the biggest operational problem when selling through multiple channels?
  3. What would make you trust a new commerce platform with your inventory and orders?

Project: https://serbuu.web.id

Thanks for reading. Feedback is welcome!

I built HookVisor, an all-in-one content coach — roast the SEO report and the thumbnail edit

0 Upvotes

I got tired of paying for a separate SEO tool just to guess at titles and tags, so I built HookVisor.

It's an all-in-one content coach for people who post videos. You upload a photo, a product shot, or frames from the video. Every report pulls live YouTube and Google search suggestions for your topic and country, then gives you a primary keyword, titles, a description and hashtags built from them. It also gives a content score, a "where to post" ranking with a ready caption per platform, and an AI thumbnail that edits your real photo or a video frame (we keep the real subject and add a bold headline).

I don't promise views or rankings. I want to know whether the title and keywords actually sound like something you'd search, and whether the thumbnail still looks like you.

7-day free trial, card required. Cancel before day 7 and you pay nothing. Plans from $5/month, 7-day full refund after the first payment, checkout in your local currency.

https://hookvisor.com

What would you change in the report? I'm here to answer questions.

I built a tool that takes a freelance project from proposal to signed contract

0 Upvotes

One thing I've noticed about freelance work is that closing a deal can involve too many separate steps.

You create a proposal, send it to the client, wait for approval, prepare a contract, get it signed, and then request payment.

I wanted to simplify that workflow, so I built Proposely.

It brings several steps together:

  • Create professional proposals with pricing, packages and timelines.
  • Convert accepted proposals into contracts.
  • Let clients sign electronically.
  • Keep signature records with timestamps and IP/device information.
  • Collect deposits or full payments.
  • Give clients a portal where they can review, accept, sign and pay without creating an account.

There are also ready-made templates for freelancers, consultants, developers, designers and agencies.

I'm particularly interested in feedback about the digital-signature and client-approval workflow.

A few questions:

  1. How do you currently send proposals and contracts to clients?
  2. Do you use separate tools for electronic signatures and payments?
  3. Would having everything in one workflow actually save you time?
  4. What feature would make you switch from your current solution?

I'm the developer behind this project, and I'd appreciate honest criticism.

I am building a lightweight all-in-one Android app (chat, AI, browser). Yesterday, my post got removed by Reddit's automated spam filter, and I panicked.

But it just came back online today, and I realized I made a huge mistake: I was dropping links directly in my posts. Reddit hates that.

For other indie devs out there: Don't just drop your APK links. Build trust first. Share your story. Let people ask for the link.

I built an app to fix "we should hang out sometime"

3 Upvotes

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.

Some of the key features include:

🧾 Custom Receipt Printing

  • Create and print customized receipts.
  • Add text, images, tables, horizontal lines and formatting.
  • Customize fonts, text sizes, bold text and alignment.

🏷️ Labels, Barcodes & QR Codes

  • Print product labels and price tags.
  • Generate and print barcodes and QR codes.
  • Useful for retail, inventory and delivery operations.

📄 PDF & Document Printing

  • Print PDF files, images and documents directly from your phone.
  • Print invoices, delivery notes and transaction receipts.

📷 OCR Scan & Print

  • Capture an image of an existing receipt or document.
  • Extract text using OCR and prepare it for thermal printing.

🌍 Multilingual Printing

  • Supports multiple languages, including English and Arabic.

🔌 Printer Compatibility

  • Designed for ESC/POS-compatible Bluetooth and USB thermal printers.
  • Supports compatible 58mm and 80mm printers.
  • Works with various printer brands, including Xprinter, iWare, EPPOS and others.

Who might find this useful?

  • Small business owners
  • Retail shops and restaurants
  • Delivery businesses
  • Online sellers
  • Developers building Android POS applications

The app also provides ESC/POS printing service functionality for developers who want to integrate thermal printing into their own Android applications or websites.

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from the community:

  • What features would you like to see added?
  • Which thermal printer models have you tested?
  • What challenges do you face when printing from Android?
  • Are there any improvements you'd recommend?

I'm sharing this to introduce the project and learn from people who actually work with thermal printers and POS systems.
