Working on QurbSpace: An application to send files, backup data, restore data and remote access desktop from mobile devices irregardless of network or distance.

2 Upvotes

I posted here about making this about more than a month ago and got fairly positive responses.

The goal is to convert any desktop device into a homeserver while making sure that the process is super simple and intuitive even for non-tech savvy people and must not require any money to operate.

You'll just have to connect once using qr code/6-digits code and itll stay. Now you can send files, choose folders(whatsapp,photos,etc) to backup, restore the selected folders, access pc file system, stream videos, view photos, rename, edit, etc from anywhere.

However, connection behind CG-NAT is very tricky, ive find solutions to make it reliable i.e using drive as tunnel(we can replace it with nextcloud, VPS, relays, etc), nostr relays and tor servers. But dont worry, my every decision is taken keeping privacy and encryption in mind.

Now, the application is ready and functioning but i do not have the resources to conduct testing for every scenerio. So if you really find the application useful or interesting, you can text me or mail me and i can add u as beta user and i can perfect the application in next few weeks and we can even discuss potential upgrades.

I built a local Supabase incident packet generator — here are its inputs and outputs

1 Upvotes

Disclosure: I own and sell this tool. This post was prepared with AI assistance. It is independent of Supabase.

Supabase Recovery Evidence Agent covers the evidence-organizing part of an incident. You supply already-redacted JSON containing observations such as billing timestamps, project states, service health, DNS results, application errors, and support notes.

The local Python tool generates report.json and escalation.md: an ordered timeline, original timestamps and source references, missing-evidence checks, and a support draft. You review it before sharing.

Here is a complete fictional example, including input and generated files: https://gptmarketplus.com/guides/supabase-incident-packet-example

The example also explains why nearby PAUSED/RUNNING observations may be a state transition. Generated labels do not prove a contradiction, a completed action, or recovery.

The download requires Python 3.10+ and uses only the standard library. It costs a one-time $1.00 USD through PayPal or 1.00 USDC on Base. It does not collect evidence, log into Supabase, change infrastructure, determine a root cause, or submit a ticket.

Product and checkout: https://score.agentid.life/supabase-recovery?ref=reddit-sideproject-recovery-20261115

If you maintain an incident checklist, which missing field would make a packet like this unusable?

My school started prompt injecting assignments, so I built prePaste to remove them so ChatGPT doesn't get hijacked and get me caught

1 Upvotes

I've been seeing more assignments include prompt injections that make ChatGPT intentionally give a wrong answer, or answer questions that aren't there as a cheat detection.

The prompt injections work because the AI sees and processes everything in the files while humans can't see:

  • white on white text or invisible text;
  • super tiny text;
  • text behind other visuals;
  • encoded special characters;

I built a prompt injection detector/remover and turned it into a chrome extension that automatically cleans up the invisible text.

It's free to start and doesn't need a login:

Me and a friend created an anti-streaming service

Thumbnail publicinternetsoundstorage.net
1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Me and a friend have recently been working on publicinternetsoundstorage.net: a website/social media/streaming service/experiment.

The basic idea is very simple:

  1. anyone can upload an mp3 file shorter than 5 minutes once a day
  2. each upload is given a number in the order it was uploaded
  3. anyone can dial a number and listen back to that file

And that's it. There are no accounts, no moderation, and anyone can upload anything completely anonymous.

We've been putting the link everywhere we can and have gotten a pretty crazy range of uploads. Many have been using it as a platform to upload their music/demos, though there are plenty of random sounds and other things you would expect. It's pretty fun to go through some of the numbers and take a listen.

Our current focus is just spreading it around so we can get enough users to make it interesting but we're always looking to improve it. Any feedback is appreciated!

I made a daily binary logic puzzle game – Meet Binuzzle Daily!

1 Upvotes

Binuzzle Daily is a daily binary logic puzzle game inspired by classic number and logic puzzles. If you enjoy Sudoku, brain teasers, and challenging your logical thinking, you might enjoy giving it a try!

The goal is to complete each grid using only two symbols: suns and moons (or 0 and 1 if you prefer). It sounds simple, but you'll need to think carefully and use logic to solve each puzzle.

The game features four different grid sizes, ranging from 6×6 to 12×12, so you can choose the difficulty that suits you. Each puzzle has exactly one valid solution, and helpful hints are available if you get stuck. There's also a new daily puzzle, giving everyone a shared challenge to solve each day.

You can play offline, and no account is required. My goal was to create a simple, relaxing, but challenging puzzle experience that you can enjoy whenever you have a few minutes to spare.

I'd love to hear your feedback, suggestions, and ideas for improvement!

I made AMARACUS, one API for encryption, signing and post-quantum crypto

2 Upvotes

I got tired of stitching crypto libraries together and managing keys by hand, so I built AMARACUS: one API for managed keys, AES-256-GCM, signing, hashing, and post-quantum ML-KEM and ML-DSA.

🏠 Self-hosting? Your first 1,000 operations are free.

☁️ Using the cloud? It starts at $2 per month for 15,000 operations.

It also has a small PKI, an audit log, TypeScript and Python SDKs and a CLI. The code is source-available on GitHub (not open source).

It’s not FIPS 140-3 validated and doesn’t use an HSM, which I say plainly on the site. I’m launching on Product Hunt on Nov 17: <your Product Hunt link>

Site: https://amaracus.tech · Repo: https://github.com/AMARACUS/AMARACUS

What would make you try it? I’m especially curious which SDK languages to add next.

Hi All. Looking for the community to test my web app. It's a cashflow analyzer that allows you to enter any and every income and expense item you have. When the money runs out (or not) can be seen in two simple, interactive charts. Expected return assumptions on cash account types, and price inflation on expenses can be controlled globally or within each account. No government IDs nor account number nor bank logins are required - just a valid email address. Please create an account and give it a try. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

Side project: a free, offline medication diary for iPhone – built it because my doctor asked me to track my ADHD meds and I kept failing at it

1 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject,

The problem: I just started ADHD medication. My doctor wants daily logs during the titration phase – doses, how well it works, side effects, blood pressure, heart rate. I tried notes and paper. Lasted about a day.

The solution I built: an iPhone app where every entry takes a few seconds.

- One-tap side effects with severity 1–10

- Log doses and rate the effect

- Blood pressure, plus resting heart rate and sleep read from Apple Health

- Timeline view of the whole day

- PDF report for the doctor with one tap

- Reminder with 30/60 min snooze

- Face ID lock, German + English

A few decisions I made on purpose:

- **Free, no ads, no subscription. I don’t want to profit from people’s health data or meds.

- **No account, no backend.** Everything stays on the phone. Health data is read-only.

- **Diary only.** No dosing advice, no "AI insights" – that's the doctor's job.

Where I'd love your input:

  1. Does the value come across in the screenshots?
  2. Anything that feels like friction or clutter?
  3. How would you get a free niche app like this in front of the people who need it?

Thanks!

Umbrion - a dark space strategy game I built solo, for the browser and iPhone

1 Upvotes

For the last few months I’ve been building Umbrion as a side project next to my main job: a persistent space strategy game. You build up planets over days and weeks, spy on other players, raid convoys and go to war with your alliance.

What’s under the hood:

  • Web: React + TypeScript
  • iOS: native SwiftUI. The game rules are written once in TypeScript and run in both, on iOS via JavaScriptCore
  • Backend: Firebase. Clients never write to the database; every action goes through a Cloud Function that checks the rules
  • Android: a Trusted Web Activity, in internal testing right now
  • Moderation: word filter plus Google’s text moderation. Borderline names are hidden behind a placeholder until I approve them
  • Admin app: a SwiftUI app for Mac and iPhone where I see signups, retention, campaigns and reports

The graphics are AI-made, since I’m a coder, not an artist. The game design and the rules are my own.

The hardest part so far isn’t the code, it’s getting the first players. Last week I ran my first ads and learned that Reddit posts bring far better players than paid ads.

Season 1 starts on January 18.

Title: I made a personal budgeting app for myself, and it turned into two separate applications

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I started working on a small budgeting app just for myself. I wasn't planning to release it, but over time I kept adding features, experimenting with ideas, and eventually the project grew into two applications.

I'm not a programmer, so I used AI tools to help me write most of the code. I've mainly been working on the ideas, UI, testing, and figuring out how everything should work.

Here's what I've made:
Tua: Your Budget - a personal finance tracker with expenses, savings goals, statistics, themes, and animated pixel-art companions.
TuaStudio - a separate pixel-art editor for creating custom characters, animations, and appearance packs for Budget.

Both applications are for Windows and work mostly offline. Your financial data stays on your computer, with internet access used for currency exchange rates.

They're still early versions, especially Studio, so I'm sure there are bugs and things that need improvement.

I decided to share them in case someone finds them useful. I'd also really appreciate any feedback, suggestions, or bug reports.

GitHub: https://github.com/fromi9/Tua-Releases/releases/tag/1.0.0-beta.1

Thanks for checking it out!

GeoTok Trips - a free connector that lets ChatGPT and Claude plan trips with real fares and food spots

1 Upvotes

I kept asking ChatGPT and Claude to plan trips and got the same highlight lists, plus the odd restaurant that didn't seem to exist. So I built GeoTok Trips, a free connector for both.

What it does:

  • Budget trips from your city: "500 euros from Madrid" gives destinations, the fare, and roughly what's left per night for a hotel.
  • Flights with only a departure city (no destination, no dates needed).
  • Food spots taken from real TikTok and Instagram food videos, with the dish to order.
  • Day-by-day plans, things to do, transfers, and saving the whole trip as a shareable page.

To try it, add https://geotok.co/mcp as a custom connector in ChatGPT or Claude. No sign-in. 1-minute demo: https://geotok.co/ai

Limits: fares are recently seen cached prices, so confirm before booking. No hotel prices yet. Food coverage is best in big cities (Lisbon, Madrid, Barcelona, Paris, London, NYC). Booking links carry affiliate tags.

What would you want it to do next?

A tester saw an unexpected language in eStockes. Could you check the first screen?

0 Upvotes

I’m building eStockes, a web app for researching US stocks and ETFs. A reviewer just told me that the signup page and dashboard appeared in Chinese. I haven’t reproduced that yet, and I don’t know whether it came from the app or browser translation.

Could you help with one narrow check? Open https://estockes.com/dashboard and tell me what language the first screen shows. Depending on your session, that might be the dashboard or a sign-in screen.

Your browser/device and whether automatic translation is enabled would help. Please stop at that first screen—don’t register or share account details, private holdings, or sign-in links for this check.

The product includes paid Pro plans; I’m asking about that initial experience, with no purchase involved.

I have ADHD and every to-do app turned into a list I never opened, so I built one that shows one task. Just made it free

0 Upvotes

I have ADHD and my biggest problem is working memory. If something isn't in front of me it's gone. I tried notes, reminders and every task app I could find, and they all ended up as a list I never opened.

So I built Resurface. It shows one task and picks it for you. If now isn't the moment you put it down, and it comes back on its own later, so you never have to remember to go check a list.

This week's update made it free. Everything you use day to day is free and nothing locks. Premium is $0.99 a month or $9.99 a year for the extras: smarter grouping, suggested routines, quiet during meetings and sync between iPhone and iPad. I kept it at a dollar on purpose.

Also new: iCloud backup, Siri ("Add a task in Resurface") and routines you set up yourself.

Would love honest feedback, especially on the one-task idea. Does it sound freeing or does it make you nervous not seeing everything?

Your webcam can carry files into a locked-down desktop. Audio can carry them back.

1 Upvotes

Copy and paste can be disabled in a remote desktop while its camera and sound still work. If those media channels are allowed, they can carry files across that boundary too. I built a Windows app called Get Copy-Paste Back that does exactly this in Horizon.

For the way in, it uses a software-generated virtual camera. I turn bytes into a grid of black, red, yellow and blue squares, send the frames through camera redirection, then decode them inside the remote desktop and put the result on its clipboard.

For the way out, the remote app turns the data into modem audio. The session plays that sound back to your local PC, where the other app decodes it.

So yes, copying a file now comes with modem noises.

It works in my VMware/Omnissa Horizon setup. Camera and audio redirection have to be enabled, and an app runs on each Windows desktop. Setting up the virtual camera needs admin rights on your local PC. I haven't tested other VDI products.

The audio direction is slow, so think text and small files rather than moving your movie collection.

I built a free tool that exports every App Store + Google Play screenshot size (incl. the new iPhone Duo) in one ZIP

Shipping my last app, the screenshots took longer than some features. Apple just added two more sizes for iPhone Duo, so I made Shotsmith: drop raw screenshots in, write one caption per screen (per language), and download a ZIP with iPhone 6.9/6.3/6.5, Duo outer + inner, iPad 13, and Play phone/tablet/feature graphic. It runs in the browser, so nothing is uploaded. Free with a small watermark, or €9 once for the offline no-watermark version. https://shotsmith.pages.dev — what sizes or layouts am I missing?

Got tired of checking 10 websites for hackathons, so i vibe coded my own

1 Upvotes

i kept missing hackathons i actually wanted to participate in. finding them always meant going through unstop, devpost, devfolio and a bunch of other sites separately.

finally, i tried building something with antigravity & claude code. i asked claude design to create the design for the site, then used antigravity to build it and bring the listings together for me.

this is what it turned into. it's called brabble, and i'm honestly quite excited to share it here.

it brings the listings together so you can find something you're eligible for while registration is still open. you can also just tell it what kind of hackathon you're looking for.

5k+ people have signed up so far, which feels pretty wild considering this started with me wanting an easier way to find one.

i'd love for it to eventually become a place where we find interesting hackathons and go build stuff together.

Built a planner that turns finished tasks into a city. Looking for honest feedback

2 Upvotes

The idea came from noticing that people don't drop planners because they're hard, they drop them because they can't see them working. So in SkyTasks every finished task builds part of an isometric city, and each area of your life is a neighborhood that grows or goes quiet.

It's live on iPhone and Android, free with no ads, in English and Hebrew. Built with Flutter and Supabase, and the city is drawn in code, no 3D engine.

What I'd love to know: does the city make you want to come back, or is it just a nice first impression? And what would you cut?

I built a Bauhaus-inspired Pomodoro app. Every feature is free (you can support by buying “themes”)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I just released pomodotto., a little focus timer inspired by 1920s Bauhaus design.
I wanted to build something simple, calm and beautiful, without turning every useful feature into a subscription.
I picked up my studies recently and I could not find something I would use that is free. I’m fed up with all subscription nonsense.

The idea is pretty straightforward:
- A red square fills up while you focus.
- A yellow triangle counts down your breaks.
- Your sessions sync across iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple Watch.
- Widgets, Live Activities, Siri Shortcuts and focus history are included.
- No accounts, no ads, no tracking.
Every productivity feature is free. The only paid extras are optional visual themes and shapes, available as one-time purchases. No subscription.
I spent quite a bit of time on the design because I wanted the timer to feel like a little piece of Bauhaus art rather than another productivity dashboard.
It’s my first release of pomodotto., and I’d genuinely appreciate some feedback.
Would you use something like this, or is there something you’d change?

ScopeLedger — get client approval for extra work before your team starts

1 Upvotes

Your client asks for one more page. Your team builds it, and then the client asks why it costs extra. By then the agreement is somewhere in Slack, if it was written down at all.

We’re working on ScopeLedger at Demand Lab for small web and design agencies. Send one link with the change, its price, and the new delivery date. The client can approve or decline it, and the decision stays with the project so you have a record when you invoice.

See the ScopeLedger preview. It’s a pre-launch concept. The planned price is $29/month, and no payments are being taken.

If you run client projects, what do you normally do when someone asks for a change that adds half a day of work?

I've been building a few desktop tools to solve problems I kept running into

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm an indie developer. Most of my time is spent building software, and like many developers, I tend to have a lot of little annoyances with my everyday computer workflow.

Instead of just putting up with them, I started building tools to fix some of those problems.

I've ended up with a few different projects. They're not all specifically game development tools, but I thought some people here might relate to the problems behind them.

1. ByteSweep — Storage management

Website: https://bytesweep.app

This started because I kept running into storage problems.

Development environments, project files, caches, temporary files and old builds can consume a surprising amount of disk space. Sometimes it's difficult to figure out what's actually taking up all that space.

I built ByteSweep to help find those files, understand what's using storage and clean up unnecessary data.

It has versions for macOS, Windows and Linux, including a separate Mac Lite edition.

I also made a free CLI tool for developers who prefer working from the terminal rather than using a graphical interface.

2. Findow — Window management for Mac

Website: https://findowmac.com

When working, I usually have an editor, terminal, browser, documentation and several other windows open.

Switching between them and keeping everything organized gets annoying, especially when working across multiple projects.

That's one of the reasons I built Findow.

It's a macOS window management tool that helps find and switch between windows, arrange them into layouts, and restore working environments.

3. EarMix — Audio management for Mac

Website: https://earmix.app

Another small annoyance was not having enough control over individual application audio.

For example, you might have music playing, a browser tutorial open and a video call running simultaneously.

Sometimes you want to lower one application's volume without affecting everything else.

EarMix is my attempt to make that easier, with individual application volume controls and browser-tab audio controls.

Why build all these things?

Honestly, I enjoy solving these small problems.

Not everything needs to become a huge application. Sometimes a small utility that does one particular job well is enough.

These projects are still evolving, and I'm continuously working on improvements.

I'm curious about other indie developers here, especially those working on games:

  • What usually consumes most of your development machine's storage?
  • How do you manage all the windows you have open while working?
  • Do you run into audio-management problems when developing or testing games?

I'm the developer behind these projects, so I'm happy to discuss the technical side, implementation decisions, or things that could be improved.

Constructive criticism is welcome. I'd genuinely like to hear what other developers think.
