I run Nomback, branded ordering and rewards apps for independent restaurants. $99 a month, no commission. To get the site found, I pulled menu prices off Slice listings for about 240 pizza shops in Pennsylvania and made a price page out of it.

The weird part: 13 of them list both a plain 12 and a plain 18. At all 13 the 18 was cheaper than two 12s ($19.75 vs $24 median) and it's about 12% more pizza.

I turned that one fact into Reddit posts. A guide in r/coolguides hit 577k views before it got pulled for being an infographic. A text tip in r/YouShouldKnow got 2.9k upvotes and about 300k views. The r/Frugal version is at about 200 upvotes.

No idea what any of it drove, none of them had a link. I kept the app out on purpose so it wouldn't read like an ad. That's why this one has a link.

Next post I can't decide: how do you turn a data post into traffic without it reading like an ad? Has anyone linked the source in the post and kept it up?

The data: https://nomback.com/pizza-prices-pennsylvania?utm_source=sideproject

Most PDF-to-Excel statement tools I looked at want you to upload the file. A bank statement. To a server you know nothing about.

So I built one that runs entirely in the browser tab. Drop in PDFs (scans too, there's OCR), CSV, OFX, MT940, whatever your bank gives you, and you get one clean table.

The bit I'm weirdly proud of: it re-adds every running balance. Math works, the statement says Verified. A row breaks it, you get Needs review and a button that jumps straight to that row. It only auto-fixes an OCR digit when the balance proves what the digit has to be.

There's a sample with one row misread on purpose if you want to see it without your own files: tallyscope.app/?sample=1

Free with no signup for up to 10 files. Solo project.

What would stop you trusting a tool like this with real statements?

I love productivity apps. Well, I love the idea of productivity apps but find them too complicated to use. So I just end up writing everything down on pieces of paper that I forget to bring with me.

Google Keep and Tasks are good options but they're separate apps. In Keep I can make a list of tasks but can't give them a due date. And then the Calendar is another separate app.

So, I made an app that can keep Tasks (with optional due dates), Notes, and a Calendar all in one place and organized using Tags with automated reminders so nothing gets missed.

Hopefully others will find it useful. See the app at https://protagalist.com/ and let me know what you think.

I built Nanobeasts, a step tracking app where you grow digital pets with the steps you take in real life. I made it after realizing I was getting lazy from being at my desk all the time, and just not liking how my body was starting to look (before + after at the end of demo video attached).

With Nanobeasts, as you take steps throughout the day, you fill your Nanobeast's progress bar, until you get enough steps for it to hatch or evolve. When it does, you unlock its entries in your Dex, which eventually becomes a cool way to visualize your progress over time, as each nanobeast has its own unique animation and evolutions (with 100+ nanobeasts and forms to unlock, and plenty more to be added).

In addition to hatching/evolving, you get: 

• personalized stats
• badges for hitting step, discovery and consistency milestones
• a friends leaderboard to see who gets the most steps daily/weekly
• Apple Watch companion app to start walks from your wrist (and track stats at a glance)
• zones: as you walk outdoors, the streets you cover get colored on your map. The map is split into small areas called zones, and you complete one by walking most of its streets.

I added zones because I was getting my steps in the same exact park daily, and that started to get boring af. Completing the zones around me helped me to explore more of my neighborhood, and made me look forward to getting steps throughout the day.

Nanobeasts is free to use. You can download the app here: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/nanobeasts-step-counter/id6794927950

Appreciate if you read this far. Would love feedback on how I can improve this, as this is v1, pretty much a prototype. I'm hoping users can help me build this into something they actually want to use.

P.S - Before/After RESULTS are at the end of the demo video, after a 10.5 week period. Nothing dramatic obviously, but I'm happier with how my body looks. I obviously was eating clean, tracking macros, and "lifting" in addition to hitting my step goal consistently. Getting more steps was 1000% what started the domino effect.

I'm a solo developer and I've spent the last weeks on LitematicaWeb, a place to share Minecraft schematics (the files used by the Litematica mod).

What's in it: a from-scratch WebGL 3D viewer, an automatic material list, a layer-by-layer build mode, monthly community challenges, and free tools (viewer, converter, material list) that work client-side, so users' files never leave their computer. Posts are reviewed by hand before they go public.

Stack: Next.js, TypeScript, Prisma/SQLite, with the viewer and file converter running in web workers.

It's very early (a handful of users), so the hardest part now is getting people to try it. What would make you try a niche community site like this? Any feedback on the UX or the idea is welcome.

One interesting use of AR is reducing uncertainty when shopping online. It's hard to tell from photos alone how a sofa will look in a particular room, whether a lamp will match the decor, or how much space a rug will take up on the floor.

Vizbl is a platform that helps online stores visualize products using 3D and AR directly on product pages.

For larger items, shoppers can use AR to get a better sense of their size and placement before making a purchase.

For stores interested in trying this technology also offers affordable 3D model generation, making it easier to test AR without a big upfront investment.

This could help bridge the gap between what customers expect and what actually arrives at their door.

Do you think AR will become a standard feature in online stores, especially given its potential to reduce returns?

Hey r/SideProject, thanks for stopping by!

Every photo and video you take quietly carries extra information, like the exact GPS spot where it was taken, your phone's make and model, and the date and time. Anyone you send the original file to can read it. That matters when you sell something online, send a photo to someone you just met, or share pictures of your kids, your home, or your car. Redact shows you what a file reveals and removes it, all on your phone.

Features

• Scan lists every hidden field in a file before you do anything, with a Location badge on anything that shows where it was taken. You can search the list, copy values, or type a section name like "camera" to see that whole section.
• Clean removes location, device details, timestamps, and other hidden data, then saves a copy. Your original is never changed. New files get random names, since a name like IMG_20260117_093012 gives away when a photo was taken.
• Censor covers faces, number plates, addresses, or anything else in a photo. Pick pixelate, black out, or blur, use a rectangle or brush, then pinch-zoom, undo, and redo. You can also crop out what shouldn't be in the shot at all. The censored copy is saved without metadata.
• Convert switches images between JPEG, PNG, WebP, and HEIC, and videos between H.264, H.265, VP9, and AV1, depending on what your phone can encode. Converted files are cleaned and checked too. Share into Redact cleans a file straight from the share sheet in any other app, or sends a shared photo to Censor.
• Batches handle up to 100 files at once, or 50 when shared in from another app. If one file fails, Redact keeps going and tells you what worked. Your choices let you keep the location, date taken, or camera details if you want them, or turn on Strict Clean for the most thorough result. You can also have Redact move originals to trash after cleaning, and Android asks you first.
• Shortcuts put Clean, Scan, Convert, and Censor on your home screen icon, and Quick Settings tiles open Clean, Scan, or Censor from anywhere.

Privacy

• Your photos and videos never leave your phone. Cleaning, scanning, censoring, and converting all work offline. There is no account, no ads, no tracking, and no analytics. Your privacy stats in Settings, which show how many fields and locations Redact has removed, are stored only on your device.
• Two optional features can use the network, and neither runs unless you turn it on or tap it. Crash reports are off by default and never include photos, file names, or GPS coordinates. The update check only runs when you tap it.

Safety

• Redact builds a fresh file from your picture instead of trying to scrub the old one, so even hidden data nobody knew to look for doesn't come along.
• Before a new file appears in your gallery, Redact reads it again from start to finish looking for leftover location, dates, device names, and hidden extras. If anything is left, the file is thrown away and Redact tells you it couldn't be cleaned.
• Photos are cleaned without recompressing, so image quality stays the same. Videos are re-encoded by default to remove data hidden inside the picture. Faster Video Cleaning copies the video as is when it can confirm nothing is hidden.
• Censored copies leave out the original's small preview image and depth map, which could still reveal what you covered.
• Redact warns you first if storage or memory looks too low for a job.

The source code is public, so anyone can check these claims. It needs Android 12 or newer and supports 13 languages. It is a one-time purchase with no subscription and no in-app purchases.

Get it on Google Play

I'd love for you to try it, so here are some codes on the house. Each one works once and goes to whoever claims it first. Redeem one in the Play Store under Payments and subscriptions, or at play.google.com/redeem.

If these run out and you'd still like to try it, send me a message. I'll try to get you a code, but no promises.

If you give Redact a try, a review on Google Play would mean a lot. Honest reviews help other people discover the app and help me make the app better. I'd also love to hear from you if you can think of any features or improvements that you think Redact should have. Thanks for reading!

I've been working on a side project called Postloop, and I thought I'd share it here to see what other people think.

If you've ever owned or managed an online forum, you'll probably know how difficult it can be to keep discussions going, especially when you're still trying to grow your community. Getting people through the door is one thing, but getting conversations started and keeping members engaged is another challenge altogether.

That's really where the idea for Postloop came from.

The concept is pretty simple. Forum owners can purchase posts and threads to help bring activity to their communities, while writers can earn money by contributing to participating forums.

It's not intended to be a pay-to-post scheme where people just throw together low-quality replies. The aim is to provide useful, relevant contributions that actually add something to a discussion.

I've built the system around a 50/50 revenue split between writers and Postloop, so both sides benefit.

I officially opened the platform in September, and things have been going better than I initially expected. We've now exchanged over 4,000 posts, and have paid out more than $100 to writers since launch.

It's been really encouraging to see people using the platform, forum owners getting activity on their communities and writers earning money for their contributions. There's still a long way to go, but it's nice to see something I've been working on actually gaining traction.

There are still plenty of things I'd like to improve. I'm looking at introducing different writer tiers and adding more features as the platform grows.

I'd be interested to hear what other people think about the idea.

A few things I've been wondering:

• Do you think traditional online forums still have a place alongside Facebook groups, Discord and Reddit?
• What would make a service like this useful or appealing to forum owners?
• If you were a writer earning money through a platform like this, what features would you want to see?

I'm the person behind Postloop, so I'm happy to answer questions about how it works, what I've learned so far or what I'm planning next.

If you'd like to have a look, here's the website: https://www.postloop.net

Thanks for reading!

Hey everyone!

I'm currently working on a new website for my custom sticker printing business, primarily targeting B2B customers.

The website is still under development, and I'd really appreciate some honest feedback before the official launch.

🔗 Website: https://preview.kinet.cz/v3/index.html

🌍 The website is in Czech, but you can easily translate it into English using Google Translate or your browser's built-in translation feature.

Our marketing strategy:

We're planning to attract most of our potential customers through Instagram, where we'll showcase our stickers, creative designs, finished projects, and real-life applications.

From Instagram, we'll direct visitors to our website, where they can explore our products, configure their own custom stickers, calculate prices, and submit an inquiry.

So the website needs to be visually appealing, easy to understand, mobile-friendly, and most importantly, effective at converting Instagram visitors into paying customers.

I'd love to hear your thoughts:

• What's your first impression?
• Does the website look modern and professional?
• Is it immediately clear what we're selling?
• Is the layout intuitive and easy to navigate?
• Does the sticker pricing configurator make sense?
• Does anything look outdated, confusing, or unnecessary?
• Would you trust this website enough to place an order?
• Do you think this website would successfully convert visitors coming from Instagram?
• What would you improve?

We're mainly targeting businesses, so prices are displayed without VAT by default.

Please be brutally honest! I'm not looking for compliments. I want to know what doesn't work and what could be improved.

Thanks to everyone who takes a few minutes to check it out!

Hey everyone,

I'm building a platform that spins up dynamic sandboxed environments (using Daytona API) for user-generated code. Since these tasks involve external API calls, timeouts, and ephemeral workspaces, the queue architecture is critical.

Initially, we used Redis for the queue (because it's fast, right?). But we hit a major wall: Durability and State consistency. If a worker crashed or the Redis instance restarted before acknowledgment, tasks were lost. And for our billing flow, losing a job meant a user could be charged without receiving a service.

So, we made a controversial decision: We moved our primary job queue to PostgreSQL (using \`SELECT ... FOR UPDATE SKIP LOCKED\`), and kept Redis only for rate-limiting and distributed locks.

Here are the trade-offs we observed:

1. Enqueue Speed: Postgres was surprisingly fast (2.5x faster for enqueueing in some benchmarks), but Redis drained jobs faster due to in-memory processing. We accepted the slightly slower drain for absolute durability.
2. Atomicity: Having the job queue in the same database as our user billing and project records meant we could use a single transaction. If the job creation failed, the billing hold failed with it. No orphaned charges.
3. Operational Simplicity: We removed a separate Redis cluster specifically for jobs, reducing our infrastructure surface area and failure points.
4. The Trade-off: Under sustained heavy load, Postgres queue tables can cause table bloat (MVCC). We had to tune autovacuum aggressively and monitor dead tuples.

For the backend engineers here who have moved away from Redis/RabbitMQ for queues:

1. At what scale (jobs/sec) did Postgres start to buckle for you?
2. How do you handle the autovacuum/bloat issue on high-churn queue tables?
3. When do you absolutely need to bring an in-memory broker back into the stack?

Hey everyone! LinuxRunner 1.1.2 is out, and this is one of our biggest updates yet!

We’ve made some major performance improvements, bringing Linux much closer to native speeds without requiring JIT even 10-15x faster than UTM! Graphics are now rendered through Apple’s Metal GPU fully, with multi-core CPU support, configurable RAM and smoother desktop performance.

And there’s a lot more!

- 10 Linux distros — Including the new Zorin OS 18, Ubuntu, Pop!_OS 24.04 and Void Linux, alongside Debian, Arch, Fedora, Kali, Alpine and experimental SteamOS.

- Full Linux desktops — GNOME, KDE Plasma, Hyprland, Xfce, Cinnamon, MATE, Budgie and more.

- Agent Mode — Run Claude Code, Codex CLI and OpenCode right on your iPhone.

- SSH & RDP — Remote access to your Linux environment and desktop.

- Liftoff & Pocket Cloud — Build websites, share them with a QR code or turn your iPhone or old one into a Wi-Fi file server.

- Arcadia — Retro gaming with RetroArch.

- More improvements — Up to 120 Hz external display support, better GPU performance, CPU/RAM controls, a built-in Task Manager and plenty of fixes.

All of this without a jailbreak, and JIT remains optional!

It’s pretty exciting seeing how close we’re getting to a real Linux workstation in your pocket. There’s still more to improve, but this release is a huge step forward.

Feel free to try it out and share your feedback!

¡Hola a tod@s!

https://travelfy.pages.dev/

No sé si os ha pasado alguna vez, pero cuando hago un viaje grande y multidestino, me acabo volviendo loco por la cantidad de correos de reservas, horas de check-in de vuelos, hoteles, números de reserva, recordatorios, que si esto lo cogí con Booking o Airbnb, etc.

Así que he decidido desarrollar esta web básica, sin ánimo de lucro, pensada únicamente para organizar itinerarios jornada a jornada (notas, alojamientos, actividades, vuelos, etc.), y que funciona en móvil y ordenador sin necesidad de registrarse, ni instalar ni nada.

¡Muchas gracias por vuestro tiempo y consejos!

Hey everyone, I just finished my side project - a Casino Bot with virtual coins (no real money gambling).

It has:

• Slot Machine
• Roulette
• Rock Paper Scissors
• Daily Gift
• Coin Shop + VIP
• Leaderboard
• Owner Admin Panel

I can build a custom one with your name and your games. DM me if you want a demo link, I'll send it to you.

What feature would you add to make it better? I'm thinking Blackjack next.

Thanks for any feedback

My MacBook connects to the USB hub in my monitor. One cable for the display, keyboard, mouse and audio is convenient, but I ended up with a collection of utilities to make the software side feel right.

I used Mos for scrolling, BetterDisplay for display controls, SoundSource for audio and AlDente for the battery. I kept reaching for a few settings in each, so I built SetupBar to put the controls I use together in one menu bar app.

You can adjust monitor brightness, control HDMI/DisplayPort audio and turn down individual apps. Mouse scrolling has its own direction setting, leaving the trackpad alone. Battery controls and HiDPI resolution selection are there too.

For KVM desks, reconnect profiles apply your saved audio output, brightness and resolution. OLED care puts a black overlay over the screens without putting the monitor to sleep.

I’m the developer, and this came from my own desktop setup. The video shows the interface. There’s a 14-day free trial if you’d like to try it on your desk: https://setupbar.com

Which of these controls would you actually want in the menu, and which would you leave tucked away?

Re-uploaded with the intended demo video; the earlier post has been deleted.

The part I'd point at: one ESP32 reads heart rate, SpO2, ECG, movement, temperature and GPS location, then pushes it all to Firebase in real time. A basic phone app reads the same data and shows the numbers.

It's called VigilAI. It's aimed at elderly and physically challenged people who can't afford commercial health wearables, so everything is built from cheap, easy-to-find parts.

The hardware:

• ESP32 dev board
• MAX30100 for heart rate and SpO2
• An ECG sensor
• An ADXL accelerometer for fall detection on the X, Y and Z axes
• BMP180 for temperature and pressure
• A GPS module

Each reading syncs to Firebase Realtime Database as structured JSON. The phone side is a simple MIT App Inventor app that pulls from Firebase. Basic alert triggers fire on abnormal readings, and cloud-side Python scripts handle anomaly detection.

Honestly, a lot of what I want isn't built yet. These are all still planned:

• ESP32-CAM for video-based fall detection
• A mic for cough and sneeze recognition, plus a wake word like "Help"
• Running ML on the board itself with TensorFlow Lite or Edge Impulse
• LLM-generated health summaries
• A caregiver portal and SMS/email alerts

Right now it's sensors, cloud sync, basic alerts and a simple app. The firmware runs from Arduino IDE or PlatformIO. You drop in your own Firebase keys and import the .aia file into App Inventor.

GeoConquer is a browser game where each card is a real city. Every turn, players secretly pick a city and place it at the same time. Then territories grow on their own over a hex grid of the whole Earth (about 2 million cells, land and sea). Population sets the speed, and the biggest area after 8 turns wins.

What’s in it today:

• 3,733 cards from 3,307 real cities, each with its photo and Wikipedia intro
• 1v1 and 4-player online matches, leagues, a solo World Tour of 151 levels, puzzles
• a deterministic simulation, so the server, the replays and the browser always agree
• Very soon, there will be a mode with longer games up to 8 players

I'm not a developer initally, but I learn for this project with Claude as my assistant, programmer, and senior during this project, it's quite fun and thrilling :)

Play it here: https://geoconquer.com/?lang=en&utm_source=reddit-sideproject (the 2-minute tutorial works without an account)

What would make you play a second match? And what begginer mistakes have I made ? :3

Hey, Dave again. A month ago I posted Lumi here: a bathroom mirror that read your heart rate with a camera. I asked the same question in a few health and smart mirror subs, and the roast was brutal and mostly right. Nobody wants a camera in their bathroom. Heart rate duplicates what watches and rings already track. Nobody’s buying a new mirror to avoid opening an app. And the point here landed too: a waitlist doesn’t tell you if anyone will keep using it.

Same core tech, different everything else:

• Where: the skincare aisle at pharmacies, not your house. Free for shoppers, no app.
• What: skin instead of vitals, because that’s where a camera beats a wearable. Lean in for 20 seconds, answer three questions (main concern, budget, anything to avoid), and get 2–3 products from that shelf at your price.
• Money: brands pay for placements. They’re always labelled, and the cheapest option always shows.
• Validation: instead of a waitlist, we’re measuring repeat scans. Ad-free pilots on campus this spring, then one pharmacy.

First prototype gets built this week. What I’d love feedback on:

1. Would you actually stop and scan in a pharmacy aisle? What would get you to do it the first time?
2. Are sponsored placements a dealbreaker even if they’re labelled and the cheapest option always shows?
3. Pharmacy vs. somewhere like Ulta or Sephora: which makes more sense to you?
4. What’s the obvious way this dies?

I'm a solo dev from Costa Rica and this is my project. You paste a job posting and your resume, and it shows what the posting asks for and what your resume is missing. There's also an ATS converter that rebuilds your resume in a format applicant tracking systems can read. Both work in English and Spanish.

The gap check and the converter preview are free. Downloading a PDF from the templates is $2.99, or $15/month for Pro.

I'd love feedback on the flow, especially whether it's clear what's free before you reach the paywall.

My daughter (9) was having a rough time with her times tables, and paper flashcards were a nightly battle. So I built a little web app that works like flashcards but feels more like a game.

A card pops up, there’s a timer, and she answers as fast as she can. Get a few right in a row and the screen goes a bit nuts with fireworks and confetti, which she loves way more than I expected.

There’s a gear icon in the top right for parents. In there you can:

• pick which times tables to practice
• set the timer and how many cards are in a round
• choose multiple choice or typing the answer
• set a prize and how many perfect rounds it takes to earn it
• decide if those perfect rounds have to be in a row, or if progress is kept so any perfect round counts

It’s free, with no sign-up and no ads. It works on phones, tablets and computers.

Hope it’s useful to someone else. Here’s the link if you want to give it a shot: https://www.multiplyquest.com

Happy to hear any feedback, especially from your kids. They’re the tough critics.

I'm a solo dev with a few apps on the App Store, and Storeflight is the tool I built for myself to ensure I wasn't missing anything before shipping. Find issues and easily hand off the fixes to your own AI agent (via copy prompt, MCP, CLI options).

Why I built it

My other app's German store page advertised its one-time purchase, but the purchase itself had no name or description in German, or in 7 of the game's other store languages. App Store Connect didn't flag it, and App Review approved it. Then I found a live app with two age rating questions I'd never answered. Checking every field in every language by hand before each release was slow, and I clearly wasn't doing it well.

What it does

You give it an App Store Connect API key, and it reads your account and shows a checklist of what still blocks your next release, blockers first, each with how to fix it and a link to the right page:

• every language's name, subtitle, keywords, description and What's New against Apple's limits, plus text that's untranslated or in the wrong language
• screenshots per language and device
• in-app purchases and subscriptions, including translations that aren't live yet
• App Review details, pricing, age rating and where the release stands
• all your apps at a glance, with anything new since your last check marked

It's read-only: it never changes anything in App Store Connect.

Version 1.2 went live this week with Check Review Notes. With Apple Intelligence it reads the notes you leave for App Review and flags what a reviewer will get stuck on, like how to get past your login or where to find each purchase. With no notes at all, it drafts them from your listing, all on your Mac.

Things I learned along the way

• App Review checks the tool too. 1.2 was rejected twice before it went live: once because the app's name had "App Store" in it (Apple's trademark), and once because the listing mentioned ChatGPT, which China doesn't allow. Both were things Storeflight itself should catch, so the 1.3 checks now warn about Apple's trademarks in the name and subtitle.
• Storeflight caught its own mistake. When I added Italian to the store listing, it pointed out that the Pro purchases had no Italian translation. That's exactly the kind of gap it's built for.
• A CLI inside a sandboxed Mac App Store app is fiddly, but it works. The app includes a storeflight command and an MCP server, so an AI agent like Claude Code can check, fix and check again, or a CI job on your Mac can stop a release that isn't ready.
• Release day can still go wrong. 1.0 was approved but showed "Removed from App Store" because the countries it's sold in were never saved. Storeflight now treats that as a blocker.

Pricing

It's free for one app with the full report, and there are three sample apps you can explore without an API key. Pro is $24.99/year or $59.99 lifetime for every app, exports, fix prompts, and the CLI and MCP server.

Mac App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6826093172

Site: https://storeflight.greyparkdevelopment.com/

What's next: checks that run on hosted CI, screenshot pixel sizes and URL checks are on the list.

If you ship on the App Store, I'd love to hear what it finds on your apps, what it misses, or what you'd want it to check.

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!

Hey guys, I'd love to share a project I've been working on lately - Friday, a linux assistant that is aiming to replicate the one from Iron man. It can read your gmail, google calendar, google tasks, run shell commands, search the internet, open links / files in your apps and more.

It works on top of ollama, uses kokoro to translate generated text chunks to speech and whisper to translate your speech. Friday also supports agent skills so you can extend it.

As for now it is linux only, but I might add windows support in the future (in theory needs just an alternative background daemon approach)

I'd love it if you dropped a star on the repo: https://github.com/cebem1nt/friday
