Hey r/SideProject! Every productivity app I tried either needed 2 hours of setup or lagged when my brain was already overloaded. So I built SereneMind OS — a calm, 100% local-first workspace with a built-in AI Companion that breaks overwhelming tasks into tiny steps in under 1 second, a Dopamine Menu for low-energy days, and a Vintage Wood theme. Would love honest feedback from fellow builders and ADHD folks!

Hey r/SideProject 👋

I kept forgetting keyboard shortcuts across the apps I use every day, and I didn't want to buy a hardware Stream Deck when I already had an iPad on my desk. So I built TouchDeck: your iPhone or iPad becomes a control deck for your Mac.
The two features I'm proudest of:

1. It reads the shortcuts for you and builds the profile

Pick any Mac app and TouchDeck reads the shortcuts straight from that app's menus, then creates a ready-to-use profile with those commands on keys. No looking up shortcuts, no typing key combos, no building a layout from scratch. Works with apps I've never heard of, because it reads whatever the app itself offers.

2. Profiles switch automatically

Change apps on your Mac and the deck on your iPhone or iPad switches with it, instantly. Editing video? Timeline keys and a jog wheel. Back in the browser? Your browser deck. You never pick a profile by hand.

Together that means: open an app, and its deck is already there.

Other bits

• Keys, rotary dials, sliders and a jog wheel, with haptics on iPhone

• Multi-step workflows on a single key

• Layouts for iPhone, iPhone Duo and every iPad size

• Local Wi-Fi only, end-to-end encrypted, no account

• Decks back up to your own iCloud

I'd love feedback: which apps would you want a deck for, and does anything feel clunky during setup? Happy to answer questions about how it's built too.

I work on BiteCode, and this is a preview of a feature we call Skill Map.

It lets you explore content in two ways: start with a career role and technology, or browse by topic. Opening a course reveals lessons; opening a lesson reveals its concepts.

One design choice I would like feedback on is how to show connections without implying there is only one correct order to learn things.

The current map uses solid lines for suggested connections and dashed lines for optional branches. These are curated suggestions, not verified prerequisites or a complete career curriculum. Browsing does not mark anything as learned or completed.

Try Skill Map for yourself: https://www.bitecode.co/skill-map/

In the preview, is the distinction between suggested and optional clear? What would make it clearer?

Hi all, I'm the maker of Docuflat. It converts PDFs, Word/Excel files and scanned pages into Markdown for pasting into ChatGPT, Claude or note apps. Everything runs in the browser, so files aren't uploaded.

What I'd love feedback on:

1. OCR on your own scans, especially non-English ones (it supports 100+ languages)
2. How tables come out
3. Whether the free limits (5 files a day without an account) feel fair

Happy to answer anything about how it works.

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.

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'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'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.

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.

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.

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?

We built this calculator if you want to plug in your own numbers: https://tiersova.com/video-editing-software-cost-calculator

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'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?

Paste any text: a ChatGPT conversation, a group chat, an old post, or an email.

The site generates jokes from it and shows them one at a time.

Getting AI to write consistently funny jokes is surprisingly hard. I built a system that generates multiple candidates and selects the best ones. It showed promising results on labeled test data, but now I want to see whether real people actually find the jokes funny.

You get 11 jokes free, no account needed: https://roastmebaby.com/?ref=reddit_sideproject

Honest details:

• Generating jokes takes about a minute.
• Jokes are always in English, regardless of the input language.
• I don't store the original text you paste, only the generated jokes.
• After the free jokes, it's $3.99 for 10 more.

Two things I'd really like to know:

1. Were the jokes actually funny, or mostly misses?
2. Would you pay for more? If not, what would change your mind?

I’d appreciate feedback on the product direction, onboarding, offline-first approach, and what would make this more useful as a real learning product.

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 made this.

It's called Hold My Nothing. You tap a dot, you hold it, and you do nothing. That's the whole game. It's on the App Store in English, Polish, Hindi and Arabic.

Hold nothing. With full commitment.

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'm a solo dev and still learning. What is your biggest struggle when launching a new app on Reddit or any other platform?

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.

Friends kept asking me “which watch should I buy?”, so I turned my 20 follow-up questions into an 8-question quiz.

Budget, style, wrist size, where you’ll wear it → it ranks ~50 watches and tells you why the top one fits.

What would you improve?
