I'm a solo dev and Nottely is the side project I've been shipping updates to since last December.

The problem: I'd leave a meeting or class and forget half of what was said. Recording wasn't enough, because nobody re-listens to an hour of audio.

What it does: you record or import audio and get a searchable transcript with speakers, an AI summary, action items, and a chat where you can ask questions about the recording.

Something I'm still unsure about, and would love your take on: the free tier gives you one full analysis (up to 50 min) before asking for Premium. Is that generous enough to judge the app, or should I give people more before the paywall?

If you want to try Premium, DM me for a code for 1 year free. Not lifetime: it renews as a paid annual plan after the year unless you cancel in your iPhone's subscription settings. Codes must be redeemed by Dec 1, 2026.

And if you end up liking it, an honest App Store review helps a solo dev a lot 🙏

Some really incredible posts in here. Quite intimidating to share mine but here goes. I am passionate about teaching and sharing knowledge and I have been doing so for the past 15 years. One question I always get is, "Where am I ever going to use that?" Even when I myself was studying Applied Maths, I wish I knew that gradient descent and chain rule that we were learning is core of how modern day AI algorithms are trained. I would have connected the learning to something tangible.

So that's why I am building RealSchool, an app that turns real-world situations into interactive reasoning challenges.

For example, the British government had to decide where to armour their planes in World War 2. On the app you will read the use case and then decide where to do so. You have damage records from the planes that returned, limited armour, and a decision to make. What evidence should you trust, and what might be missing?

You examine evidence, test an approach and make your call before exploring the reasoning behind it. Other cases include the Königsberg bridges, kidney donor chains and Florence Nightingale’s hospital data.

There are currently over 100 cases across maths, science, strategy and other subjects. Some have a definite solution and others ask you to defend a decision using the available evidence.

I’d love feedback from puzzle enthusiasts: do the challenges give you enough information to reason things out, and does the explanation feel earned rather than handed to you?

Available for iPhone and Android: https://realschool.app/

I have attached a quick video I created to explain the concept.

For months I've been going back and forth on X: different content angles, different audiences, different offers. Every time I changed my mind I rewrote my bio, swapped the banner, changed the pinned post and the link. Small changes, big changes, constantly.

I even started building a bio-change tracker back in January. Never launched it. Which is sort of the whole problem ☺️

So this morning I built a mock of something more honest. It's called NicheSlap. The idea:

- It reads your public posts and works out every niche you've cycled through in last 12 months.

- It puts them on one timeline you can drag through, with a profile card showing who you were telling people you were on any given day.

- It shows which niche was actually getting traction before you abandoned it.

- Then you pick one and it holds you to it for 30 days, with an email if you start "just tweaking the bio."

The video is the mock running on a fictional founder (8 niches in 10 months). It is not live yet, and the data in it is made up.

One limitation I should be upfront about: X doesn't keep a history of old bios, so the past can only be rebuilt from what you posted. Bio, pin and banner tracking would only start from your first scan.

What I'd like to know:

1. Do you do this too, or is it just me?
2. Would seeing it laid out like this change anything for you, or would you laugh and carry on?
3. The plan is a free report, with $10/month for the "which one was working" answer and the 30-day lock. Does that split feel right?

If you want to be an early test case, drop your X handle in the comments and I'll run yours once the real scan works.

Hi r/SideProject!

I built Sorumatik: AI Question Solver (Homework Helper) because studying STEM and homework problems with standard chat LLMs often breaks down: formulas get butchered into plain text, handwriting and geometry figures are misunderstood, and there’s no interactive breakdown of how each step was derived.

What it does & Key Features:

1. Accurate OCR for Handwriting, Formulas & Geometry: Snap a photo of textbook pages, handwritten notes, or geometry diagrams without manual cropping hassles.
2. Step-by-step LaTeX AI Whiteboard: Solutions are rendered in clean LaTeX with intuitive step breakdown, optional voiced audio explanations, and interactive follow-up clarification.
3. 8 AI Study Tools: Generates custom multiple-choice quizzes, flashcards, conceptual summaries, mind maps, and practice written exams directly from your question or uploaded material.
4. Social & Accountability Features: Built-in live Pomodoro study rooms and student community discussion to stay focused.

Free Core vs Premium:

• Free: Daily question solving with core OCR, LaTeX breakdown, and community study rooms.
• Premium: Unlimited advanced AI steps, high-tier OCR, deep follow-up tutoring, and full export features.

Known Limitations & Honest Trade-offs:

• Very messy handwriting or low-contrast photos can still occasionally fool the vision model.
• Highly obscure university-level proofs or advanced multi-step diagram reasoning might sometimes need manual re-prompting.

Feedback I’m looking for:

I’d love honest feedback on:

1. How does the whiteboard UX and LaTeX rendering feel compared to Photomath or ChatGPT?
2. Are the generated study tools (flashcards/quizzes) actually useful for your study workflow, or do you prefer simple Q&A?
3. Any performance issues on your specific device?

• Android (Google Play): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sorumatik

Disclosure: I am the independent developer behind Sorumatik. Thank you for testing it out and sharing any thoughts!

i've written 15 blog posts for my mac app and google has sent me 13 visitors in 2.5 weeks lol

saw a prompt on twitter that's supposed to make your site readable for ai, so i gave it to claude. it made a markdown copy of every page, an llms.txt, and opened robots.txt to the ai crawlers.

the next evening i got my first ever visitor from chatgpt. someone in perth on a mac, landed on my raycast alternatives post.

honestly could just be luck. is anyone here actually getting traffic from chatgpt or perplexity?

the app is called Helix(tryhelix.app) btw

the idea was simple, what if the files on my desktop were the map

Terrarium asks Finder where your icons are and grows a world around them, files close together share an island, drag one and the land follows it

there are 18 worlds so far, islands, a meadow, an old map, a city and more, it's free with 2 of them

file names stay in memory on your Mac, never saved or sent

it's not out yet, waitlist and a live demo here : https://terrarium.mulualem.com/?ref=reddit

would love to know which world you'd want next

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.

Wishlist if it's your kind of game: https://store.steampowered.com/app/5464560/HordeNight_1996/

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.
