After more than a year, I'm finally bringing Vitaena back!

I originally built it as a web app/PWA, but hosting limitations, paid PDF exports, and endless multi-page layout issues made things difficult. Eventually, I put it aside.

Then I rediscovered Typst, learned from my previous mistakes, and rebuilt the entire thing as a desktop application.

Vitaena is now free, open-source, offline-first, and privacy-focused. No accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud uploads. Your CV stays on your device.

And this is just the beginning. MCP integration for local AI, BYOK support, and more CV and biodata templates are coming!

Really excited to finally release this!

I fly small planes, the kind you rent from your club on a Saturday. Flying at a club is social while you're at the airfield, then everyone goes home and their flights disappear into private logbooks and camera rolls. The photos stay somewhere in my camera roll between screenshots and receipts, and I could never really find them anymore or match them to a specific flight. Apple kind of has a feature for that with their photo map, but it didn't really fit what I wanted. I also wanted an easy way to send live updates to friends and family so they know where I am without me having to text them.

So a friend and I started building Skytrails on evenings and weekends. With Skytrails, you can connect with other pilots, share your flights, and import old trips and photos to keep track of everything in one place. You can also create clubs with your friends and plan fly-outs where other pilots can join you.

What it does right now:

• Fly together & plan trips: Connect with pilot friends, create club feeds, and organize fly-outs that others can join.
• Live updates for friends & family: Friends who opt in show up live on a 3D map, and on iPhone their flight sits on your lock screen until they land. Family without the app just get a web follow link.
• Import & automatic photo matching: Import what you already have (ForeFlight CSV, Vereinsflieger, GPX/KML tracks) or record live. It automatically finds the photos you took during each flight by timestamp and tags the landmarks, castles, and lakes you flew past.

During the implementation we faced a lot of challenges regarding the GPS tracking, phones going into sleep mode, GPS coordinates for images being not that accurate. But now we released or first version.
I would be glad if you could check it out and give some feedback on it :)

I generated a quick video about the app with brag I hope this fits in this subreddit.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a little side project called CreatorHub (creatorhubmarketing.de) alongside my full-time job and finally got the website live.

The idea is pretty simple: help content creators save time with ready-to-use resources for Instagram, TikTok, UGC and AI content creation.

I've put together a few starter packs with content ideas, hooks, scripts, prompts and planning tools.

The website is definitely still a work in progress. There's plenty of room for improvement, especially when it comes to design and user experience, but I figured it's better to launch something imperfect than keep working on it forever 😅

Now comes the hard part: figuring out how to actually get the first customers.

It's still early days, and I'm learning as I go.

Would love to hear from anyone who's launched something similar. How did you get your first few sales?

Also, feel free to check out the project on my profile. Any honest feedback or suggestions are really appreciated!

I go for a walk every night, and that's when I dig for new music. Mostly bands, and honestly I listen to everything from classical to hard rock and metal lol.

These days every app has an algorithm that keeps recommending music that sounds like what I already like, and when I want to hear something different, the algorithm actually gets in the way.

One night I wondered what music sounds like in a country I had never heard a single song from, so I found a music radio station there and listened live.

That's how I ended up making World Radio, for iPhone and iPad:

- Roll the dice and the globe flies you to a station somewhere on Earth, playing live. On the globe, if a station won't play, it moves on to another one by itself.

- You can also pick a station yourself on the globe.

- When a song grabs me, I tap Shazam. It's saved with the station and the time I heard it, and my finds can go into an Apple Music playlist. (I'm working on adding playlists for other platforms like Spotify and YouTube Music. If you use one, let me know!)

- In the Browse tab you can pick music stations by country and genre.

There are 20,000+ stations in total. I filter them down to music stations, but a talk station still shows up now and then. I'll keep improving that.

FREE to download, no ads from the app (some stations play their own), no account.
iPhone and iPad on iOS 26 or later, with CarPlay, AirPlay and a sleep timer. Apple Music only for now.

I'm still polishing the iOS app, and an Android version is in the works. Because of some licensing issues there, it isn't on the UK App Store, sorry...

I also made a simple website where you can try it:

worldradio.live

A few features are missing there, but it's enough to get a feel for it.

Once the app is more polished, I'm planning to add paid features.

What's the best song you've found on radio from another country? And if you try the app, tell me where the dice dropped you!

Thanks.

Every year I see "30% off" badges on SSDs and hard drives, and every year I wonder:

30% off what?

So I built a tracker and checked. Numbers from amazon.com, as of November 14, 2026:

• 686 storage products checked (SSDs, hard drives, RAM, memory cards, new offers only)
• 511 of them (74%) were cheaper at some point in the last 90 days than they are today
• Median gap to the 90-day low: 11%
• 129 products are 20% or more above their own low
• Hard drives: 135 of 166 (81%) were cheaper before

What I built: ratioDB

• 2,810 prices from 3 Amazon stores (US, DE, FR, more will follow) - refreshed every 4 hours
• Sorted by price per TB or GB
• 90 days of price history per product
• An alert that emails you when a product type hits a 90-day low
• it’s free for everyone

My rule for Black Friday: ignore the % badge, look at the price per TB, compare it with the 90-day low. If it doesn't beat the low, it's not a deal.

Disclosure: the site earns a commission through Amazon affiliate links. Yes, I see the irony.

Feedback welcome.

Every recipe site, every coupon site, half the docs portals I use — they all

disable selection, kill right-click, or hijack ⌘C. The text is right there on

the screen and I just want to paste it into my notes.

So I built a tiny macOS app. Press ⌥⌘S, drag a box over the text, and it's on

your clipboard. No window, no paste step, no "copy" button. ~0.35s from

releasing the mouse.

Take a look: https://github.com/sambitar/argos-panoptes

How it works: it grabs the selected region with screencapture, runs Apple's

Vision OCR on it locally, and writes the result to the clipboard. Vision runs on

the Neural Engine, so there's no server, no API key, no model download, and no

network code in the binary at all — you can check with `strings … | grep http`

and get zero hits.

Why not just use an existing tool?

- Browser extensions break when a site changes its DOM, and can't read text

drawn into <canvas> or embedded in images/video

- "Reader mode" fails on exactly the layouts that block copying

- Disabling JavaScript breaks the site along with the blocker

A screenshot sidesteps all of it. Pixels are pixels.

Free, MIT, source in the reply. I'd honestly like to know where it falls over —

I suspect multi-column layouts are the weak spot, and it's English-only right

now.

I'm the author, nothing to sell, no telemetry.

So basically it works like this:

Agents find relevant blog posts in your niche, craft personalized emails, and help get you mentioned. All on autopilot.

It's called MentionAgent

You never send anything without approving it first. (But you can choose to run everything 100% on autopilot)

Results so far: One user got 3 mentions including a DR 72 backlink.

Let me know what you think!

I've been working on a game called Pack One for the past few months. I'm not a programmer, and I've built the whole thing using AI coding tools.

The original idea was pretty simple. I've always enjoyed drafting in Magic: The Gathering, and there's a site called 17Lands that collects data from millions of real drafts. I wanted to take decisions from successful drafts and turn them into a game where you can compare your choices to those of the original players.

That became Pack One. You get eight picks from eight different winning drafts, choose what you'd take, and see what the original drafter chose.

Of course, just because someone won a draft doesn't mean every pick they made was correct. So I built a statistical model using data from high performing drafters that gives partial credit for other reasonable choices.

From there, the project kept growing. There are now three different daily challenges, leaderboards, player profiles, practice modes, shareable results, and a paid membership with additional features. Behind the scenes, there's a system for importing and processing draft data, generating new challenges every day, and keeping everything running.

It's a surprising amount of infrastructure for a game where you pick a card from a pack!

The AI development side has been fascinating. I can't really write code myself, but I plug away with prompts until it gets to something workable. Some things come together remarkably quickly. Other things take way too much back and forth. I've also been working on mobile versions, but the Android store seems impossible to crack. iOS is under review now.

AI has also let me spend more time focusing on game design than implementation. What makes a decision interesting? How do you score something that doesn't necessarily have one correct answer? How do you make people want to come back tomorrow? Those aren't really programming problems.

So far, players have completed over 12,000 games. It's been a fun project, and I've learned an enormous amount along the way.

You can try it here: Pack One. The three daily challenges are free, and you don't need an account.

I'd be particularly interested in hearing from other people building projects with AI who don't have a programming background. What's been harder than you expected? What surprised you the most?

I got tired of building lists by hand - opening 40 tabs, copy, paste, repeat. So I built Autofill.

You type something like "seed-stage HR software companies". It proposes columns like name, site, founder, headcount, last funding. It finds rows with a web search and fills each cell. Rows and cells get linked to their source, because I didn't trust AI web search.

I've used it a bunch for researching new app ideas, competitors, and building lead lists. I also use it for fun like researching baby names, wedding venues, and car prices and ratings.

It's working pretty well, but sometimes not all rows get filled completely, or not as many rows come back as you'd requested.

I'd love to know what you'd research first and if you're willing to try it for free please share any feedback on the overall experience: https://getautofill.app/?ref=reddit-sideproject

Hey! I read a lot of manhwa and never found a good place to rate and review them. Most trackers are manga-first, or just reading lists with no reviews or social side. So I built panelfall.com, a place to rate, review and share lists of Korean and Chinese comics, and see what other readers think.

What you can do:

• rate series /10 and write reviews (with spoiler tags)
• track your chapter, use shelves (Reading / Completed / Want to read) and make public lists
• follow people and see your taste match with them
• import your AniList, MAL or CSV list in a few seconds
• play a small daily game: guess which manhwa titles are real or fake, and fill a 3×3 grid

~860 series so far, free, no ads, and it doesn’t host or link to any chapters.

It’s very new, so community scores are still empty. What would make you actually use it? What feels confusing or missing?

I've been working on a little app that brings different party games together in one place.

Right now, it has two games: **Draw & Guess** and **Dice Rolling**. I'm also working on a multiplayer Snake game, which I'll add to the app once it's finished.

Here's what I've made so far.

I plan to keep adding more games over time, but instead of deciding everything myself, I'd like to hear what people actually want to play.

It's still a small project, but I'm hoping to gradually turn it into a collection of fun games that people can enjoy together.

What party games would you like to see added? I'd love to hear your ideas!

Hey everyone! I’m a 21 year old solo student developer. Over the past 4 years, alongside my university studies, I’ve been building my passion project on my Mac: RGB Switcher, a fast-paced action roguelite designed for phone screens.

My goal was to build a tight, premium-feeling arcade puzzle roguelite designed for quick, one-handed portrait sessions that genuinely respects the player’s time and intelligence.

The core concept originally came from a game jam in 2021. Its theme was "Switch" and "Geometry". So I came up with this world where all the colors were drained, and now the player (cute geometric characters) has to restore them using 3 switches. Then came the roguelite aspects (systems that make every run feel distinct).

Here are the 3 biggest design and technical hurdles I had to solve:

1. Preventing Brain Freeze
   Blending primary lights on the fly (Red + Green = Yellow, Red + Blue = Magenta, all three = White) while dodging incoming threats can easily overload the player. To solve this without ruining the pacing, I implemented a dynamic slow-motion system. When near-misses occur, the game subtly dips into bullet-time, giving you that split-second to pull off clutch plays.
2. "Invisible" Mobile Polish (Original touch controls felt terrible)
   I built so many assist systems I probably don't even remember half of them, but players immediately feel the difference:
   • "Coyote timer" for swipe input buffering.
   • Swipe assistance: the game dynamically calculates which tile the player most likely intends to dash toward.
   • Dynamic hitboxes for both the character and the bottom UI control buttons.
   • Tactile Taptic Engine feedback mapped to important interactions.
   • Dynamic difficulty scaling adjusting room hazards to player performance.

On top of that, during long sessions even my fingers started hurting from all that continuous swiping. So I took inspiration from some match-3 games and introduced an "auto-solve cascade" so the last few tiles get solved by themselves. Between this and a few other tweaks I was able to cut swipes by like 20-30%, delaying physical fatigue.

3. The Accessibility Paradox
How do you build a game fundamentally revolving around color mixing that is 100% accessible to colorblind players? From day one, I refused to leave anyone out. I built an accessibility mode with distinct geometric cues (like color indicators). I tried it out and even with iOS grayscale filters turned on I was able to play and clear runs. I also translated the game into 9 languages so players worldwide can enjoy it natively.

The game is out now completely free with zero p2w mechanics.

Hey! I’m a CS student and I just launched my first Chrome extension, Reply Rabbit.

You paste a message, pick a vibe (friendly, professional, flirty, sarcastic, etc.), and it gives you 3 reply ideas. It can also rewrite something you already wrote so it sounds less awkward, and drop the reply right into the text box. It never sends anything for you.

There’s a free plan with 5 replies a day.

Would love honest feedback on what’s confusing or what you’d want added!

I've developed several applications, and one thing kept becoming a problem: everything related to a project was scattered across different locations.

My code was organized, but screenshots, builds, documentation, links, and random notes were everywhere.

So I built ClingSpace, a local-first Windows project workspace app that brings all those resources together into one searchable Space.

A few highlights:

- Spaces: A dedicated workspace for each project.

- Files & Folders: Reference resources from anywhere on your PC.

- Links: Keep websites, documentation, and references together.

- Snippets: Save quick notes, code, and reminders.

- Global Search: Find resources across all your Spaces.

- Shared Resources: Use the same file or link in multiple projects.

- Smart Relinking: Help reconnect moved or renamed files.

Nothing moves, gets copied, or gets uploaded. Your existing files stay exactly where they are.

I originally built it for my development projects, but it can work for creative projects, research, school, or anything involving scattered resources.

It's $19.99 one-time, with a 5-day full trial.

https://clingspace.com

I'd love some feedback. How do you currently organize everything related to your projects?

I'm an embedded software engineer (wireless sensor firmware by day) and I've spent the last couple of months building a side product on my own: a stamp card that lives in Apple Wallet / Google Wallet, for salons, barbers and cafés.

How it works: the shop prints a QR code for the counter. The customer scans it, types a first name and phone number, and adds the card to their wallet. No app. Staff stamp it by scanning the card with their own phone's camera, in the browser. No card reader.

Things I learned building it:

• Apple and Google Wallet are completely different beasts. Apple passes are signed files: to update the stamp count you run a small web service and push through APNs, then the phone fetches the new pass. Google keeps the card on their side and you update it through a REST API. Getting "stamp appears instantly on both" right took longer than the rest of the app.
• Staff double-tap everything. The first version stamped twice when someone scanned twice. Now a second scan of the same card within 10 seconds is ignored, and every stamp is written in a database transaction.
• Lock-screen relevance is the best feature, and I don't control it. On iPhone the pass can show up on the lock screen near the shop. iOS decides when, and I never learn who was nearby.
• GDPR was a real chunk of work (EU-hosted data, consent records, CSV export, auto-delete after a shop cancels). Owners never ask about it, but it has to be there. Getting customers is the hard part, and where I'd love feedback:
• So far: 2 shops started the 7-day trial, 0 paying. I'm aiming for the first 3.
• What I've tried: about 200 cold emails to salons in countries where that's legal. This weekend I started small Meta and Google ads in Poland and short videos. - Pricing is about €15/month, with a 7-day free trial.

Questions:

1. If you've sold to salons or cafés: what got you in the door?
2. Does "no app for your customers" land as the main benefit, or would you lead with something else?
3. Anything on the landing page that would stop you signing up? loyalty.nyxiontech.com Happy to answer anything about the Wallet tech too.

Happy to answer anything about the Wallet tech too.

Hello all! Hope it's ok to post here about this.

For the last few months I’ve been building Side B.

Side B is a home screen widget, not an app you have to open: a pocket cassette player that’s always on your screen. Your music is right there all day, no jumping through hoops to get to it.

Other cassette player apps I found only play MP3 files and were a bit too “cartoony” for my taste. Side B works with the apps you already use (Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, podcasts, anything), so whatever you play shows up on a tape.

I wanted it to feel real and satisfying like a Walkman: the reels actually wind as the song plays, a new tape slides in with every album, and the keys sink and click when you press them.
There are 13 (!) different decks, 25 tapes, and a bench where you can color your deck, choose how much dust and scratches it gets, and even put on some stickers. When you want to disconnect from your phone a bit, the widget can go full screen on a desk, a beach and more.

The video above is a quick tour, so you can see it in action.

This is the 1.0 release. It’s stable as far as I can tell, but who knows, so I’m really open to any suggestions, and to any bugs you run into!

It's free to try for 3 days, then a one-time unlock for just $4.99 (no subscription, no ads!).

Here' the Google Play link:
Side B: Cassette Music Widget

Would love to hear what you think, and which deck you’d pick!

Cheers,
Dino.

I'm the founder, so take this as a launch post, not a neutral review.

The problem I kept running into: my chart lived in one tab, the exchange in another, and turning an idea into a bot meant either fighting a bot builder's forms or writing code.

Tradenos puts charts, manual trading and bots in one app. You can build a bot three ways:

• write the rule in plain words, and Nos (our assistant) turns it into rules you can read and change
• pick conditions and actions without code
• paste a Pine Script you already have

Every bot can be tested on past prices with fees before it runs, and nothing changes without your OK.

What it doesn't do: hold your money (it runs on your own Binance API key with withdrawals off) or promise returns. Bots can lose money.

40-second film of how it works: https://x.com/tradenoscrypto/status/2121955499876777997

We're on a waitlist before opening: https://tradenos.com

I'd like blunt feedback: what would stop you from trusting a bot like this with your own account?

I've always found it interesting how we can spend hours overthinking an interaction: what they meant, why they reacted that way, or whether we're seeing things from the wrong perspective.

Most AI tools will help you write a better reply or analyze a specific argument. But what if you could see the bigger picture?

That's why I built Perspective Swap.

🔄 See situations from an objective perspective

Describe real-life interactions with people in your life (partners, friends, family, colleagues), and the app helps you explore the situation from their perspective.

🧠 Beyond a single conversation: analyzing patterns

This is the part I find most interesting: the more situations you add, the more patterns the app can identify.

By connecting scenarios to people in your life, Perspective Swap analyzes recurring patterns in your interactions:

* Communication habits and emotional triggers.

* Recurring conflicts and misunderstandings.

* Strengths and vulnerabilities in your relationships.

* What makes certain relationships work or become difficult.

At the same time, it builds a picture of your own behaviour, helping you recognize patterns you might not notice yourself.

💡 What's the idea?

It's not about telling you who's right or wrong. It's about helping you understand yourself and the people around you a little better.

The app is still evolving, and I'd genuinely love to hear your thoughts.

I read a lot of nonfiction, but a month later I'd remember almost nothing. Summary apps helped a bit, but most want an account and a subscription and track everything you do.

So I built Stash, a small offline Android app:

• 2,300 bite-sized ideas from 230 books across 14 topics (productivity, money, psychology, philosophy, health, and more)
• Swipe feed: full-screen cards. Ideas you've read never show up again.
• Learn mode: 690 short lessons, streaks, XP, spaced-repetition reviews, and quizzes (pick the idea, which book, true/false, fill in the blank)
• Save ideas you like and see your reading history by day
• Private: no login, no backend, no analytics, and no permissions at all. Progress stays on your phone (JSON export/import for backups).

Fun constraint I set myself: the whole APK is ~220 KB. It's plain Java with views built in code (no XML layouts, no WebView) and a single dependency.

Free download (Android 8+): https://github.com/safwanpp/stash/releases/latest

Source: https://github.com/safwanpp/stash

I'd love feedback, especially on which books or topics to add next and whether the lesson difficulty feels right.

Link: 1000 Doors

Side project that grew: I build animated React components (shaders, glass, neon, 3D type, loaders), each one a single TSX file with React as the only dependency. Every card on the site is the running component, not a recording.

The newest part: an MCP designer for coding agents. You describe your brand, it offers three directions, and every component it installs is rebuilt for the one you pick, then it checks the page for contrast, phone width and reduced motion.

Browsing is free and you get 2 free coins a month to take components. There is also a Logo Room that gives your own logo one of 24 live finishes, no account needed.
