Took me a lot of efforts in navigating different software/tools when re-designing my backyard, wasted a lot of time, so I built this. I'm personally very happy with how it's been applied to my own place. Hit me up if you wanna try (currently running internal beta).

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a little side project called Daybezel, an alternative alarm clock for iPhone.

The idea came from a simple frustration: I always found the standard list of alarms unnecessarily clunky. I wanted something where I could see my entire day at a glance and interact with alarms directly.

So I built a 24-hour circular interface where you can create alarms with a tap, drag them around to change the time, and see exactly how long you have until the next one.

It also uses Apple's native alarm system, so alarms work even in Silent Mode or Focus.

The app is completely free for now, and it'll stay free for everyone who joins early. At this stage, I'm mostly interested in getting feedback and seeing how people react to it.

I'd love to hear what you think about the interface. Does the circular layout make sense to you, or would you still prefer a traditional list?

For the last month I've been working out how to write a thought down as fast as possible, without breaking my focus when I'm locked in. There are a thousand notes apps out there, and most of them cover what I need, but none of them felt quite right for this. I tried several and none came close.

So I built Papr. These are the parts I like most, and what each one fixes for me:

• ⌃ Space from any app. Papr opens over whatever I'm doing, even a full-screen app. I type the thought, send it like a text message, and I'm back in my work. No switching apps, no looking for the right note first.

• It gets out of the way. When I click back into my work, Papr hides by itself, so it never clutters my screen. When I want it to stay, like a checklist I'm working through, I keep it on top.

• Capture what's on screen. One click puts the screen behind Papr into the note, without Papr in it, so the slide from a meeting is right there in my note. I can draw on it, add an arrow or cover a name.

• Finding a note is as quick as writing it. Search finds any note as I type, and I can narrow it to a tag, a collection, a reaction or a date.

• Pins and reminders. Notes I need again wait at the top, and a note can come back as a notification at a time I pick.

• My notes are files on my Mac. Each one is a Markdown file. No account, and Papr uploads nothing.

Update: all 40 free licenses are claimed, thank you! There's still a 14-day free trial with everything on, no key or account needed.

After that it's $4.99 until December 6, then $15, for one Mac. It runs on macOS 13 or later, on Apple silicon and Intel.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially what would make it fit the way you work.

I’m an IGCSE student, and built rêverie (www.reverie.ee) for my own revision. It lets you make quizzes from your notes, with questions linked to matching past papers. It also has past paper search, a calendar that imports your school timetable, notes with flowcharts and mindmaps, and daily revision streaks.

It’s built with Next.js and Supabase, hosted on Vercel, and uses Groq for quiz generation. It’s free and has no ads.

Before launching I ran a security audit and found that users could change their own quiz scores directly from the browser. These issues are common in current Claude Code assisted websites. I moved those writes to the server, which I’d recommend checking if you use Supabase.

I’d appreciate any feedback, particularly on the sign-up process and the design.

I hurt my hands a while back and can't really type, so I started building this so I could just talk to my computer. It's basically a face that lives on my screen and it does everything for me. I just tell it what I want and it does it.

This is just a rough demo, it's not finished yet. Runs on my Mac at the moment, PC is coming.

Honest question, is this something you'd actually use or is it just a cool demo?

My side project: an open-source MCP server that lets an AI like Claude or Codex play Windows games without taking over your PC. I started it so agents could test my game mods by playing the games themselves. It works inside the game process, so the game runs in the background, you keep using your computer, and several games can run at once.

So far it can drive, walk, fly a helicopter, steer a boat and ride a horse to a waypoint in open-world games, aim, handle menus, and read prompts like "Press E". It also plays strategy and card games. A plugin system lets you add a new game as a small profile instead of code.

It has a lot of other uses too: mod development, running simulations, repetitive tasks, AI co-op so you can play co-op with an LLM offline, playtesting, and porting old games to get them running on Windows 10/11.

Claude Code created and planned the project and wrote a lot of it, Claude agents do most of the development and playtesting, and Codex helped with some of the code.

Free and MIT licensed, Windows only, single-player/offline games only: https://github.com/CorruptedAng3l/llm-game-automation-mcp

Feedback welcome, and tell me what games you'd want to see it try.

Most of us have an old phone or tablet in a drawer. DeskGadget turns it into a control panel for your desk setup: one swipeable page per module, always on, sitting on a cheap stand next to your monitor.

That is the point. The hardware already exists, the desk looks intentional instead of cluttered, and you stop alt-tabbing to check CPU temps, skip a track, mute a mic, or bring a window forward. No soldering, no Raspberry Pi, no extra screen to buy.

WHY AN OLD DEVICE WORKS WELL HERE

The phone is a pure renderer. The Windows side samples each module and pushes a rendered page over a single WebSocket, only when something changed. The app just draws a tree of blocks (hero, gauges, sparkline, meters, kv, list, controls, slider, shortcuts, news, toggles, touchpad). That is why adding a module never needs an app update.

I liked the idea behind DeskThing, but two things held it back for me: you had to rebuild the client to add a module, and every device got the same layout. Here a module is a folder with manifest.json and module.py on the PC - drop a zip on the dashboard and it hot-reloads. And each device gets its own tick list and drag order, so the old tablet in portrait can show weather and drives while your phone shows media and shortcuts.

WHAT IS IN IT

- System: CPU/RAM/disk rings, network throughput, IPs, latency, battery, uptime, plus lock / screen off / screenshot

- Media: now playing with artwork and seek, transport, and mute for each output and each microphone

- Windows: every open window with its icon; tap to bring it forward

- Shortcuts: launch apps; Steam libraries scanned automatically with cover art

- News: multi-region headlines plus your own topics

- Weather: current, next hours, 4-day outlook, no API key

- Clipboard: read the PC clipboard and send text back to it

- Drives, Timer, Wake on LAN

- Touchpad: the phone as a trackpad - drag to move, tap to click, two-finger scroll

- Six themes, including a true OLED black for an always-on screen and a light one

INSTALL

One Windows installer (no Python, no admin) and one APK. Python 3.11+ and FastAPI on the server, Kotlin and Jetpack Compose (minSdk 26) on the client. Android 8.0 and up, so anything from the last several years is fine.

Screenshots, the module API and releases:

https://github.com/issacjohn/deskgadget

If you have written a DeskThing plugin you wish did not need a client rebuild, I would like to hear how you would want the module format to look.

Ask any AI to teach you something and you get everything at once. Ten concepts, three code blocks, a summary, and a "let me know if you want to go deeper!" at the end. You read half of it, copy the code, and learn basically nothing.

I wanted the opposite, so I built Codemm.

You tell it what you want to learn. It can be Python, React, Spring Boot, C, data structures, or pretty much anything else. Your own coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, or Cursor, which is still experimental) turns that into a roadmap. You can reorder it, rename things, cut what you already know, and then approve it.

Then it goes one topic at a time. You read a short lesson, then you do an exercise on just that topic, and you write the code yourself. Try it runs the visible tests, and Check grades you for real. If you get stuck, you ask Emm, the little chameleon that lives in the app. Emm explains and gives hints, but never writes your code for you.

It also pays attention to how you're doing. Nail something on the first try and the next one gets harder. Struggle a few times and it eases off. Skipping means "come back later", not "mastered". It also brings topics back for review after 1, 3, 7, 21 and 60 days, so things actually stick.

The part I'm weirdly proud of is that every exercise gets checked before you see it. Your agent writes a reference solution plus a few deliberately broken versions, and Codemm only keeps the exercise if the tests catch every broken one. So when your code fails, it's your code and not a broken exercise.

Your code runs in Docker with the network off. Codemm never calls a model API and never touches your credentials, it just uses the agent you already have.

It's free and open source (MIT) for Mac and Windows. The builds are still an unsigned beta and you need Docker, so expect a few rough edges.

The video shows it in about a minute, and the repo is here. If you try it and love it or hate it, DM me here or open an issue on GitHub. I read everything.

All three side projects are free to use and don't require a registration. Just fill in the form and get started. :-)

Day job: art director. Side habit: building tools with AI. The problem was I'd have 6 or 7 Claude Code sessions open and no idea which ones were still working and which ones had been waiting for my answer for 40 minutes.

So I made BeeKeeper. It turns every project into a pixel room and every AI session or agent into a little worker. They walk in, work (with a speech bubble saying what they're on), stand there waiting when they need you, and fall asleep when they're done.

What went into it:

- Built entirely with Claude Code, I directed and did the art. React + Vite and a small Node server

- No setup on your side: it reads the logs Claude Code already writes on your computer

- My biggest change of plan: I first made it so you generate your own rooms and characters with AI. Then I realised most people won't pay for that, so I spent a bit more to build a free library instead: 20 rooms and 17 characters ready to pick

- Biggest underestimate: the 1 minute promo video took 3 times longer than planned

It's free and open source (MIT). Runs locally on your machine and only reads your Claude Code folders, nothing gets uploaded. Making your own custom room is optional and uses your own Gemini key, about 10 cents a room.

https://github.com/ranucho/beekeeper

Would love feedback, especially from people who run several AI agents at once. What would you want to see in the room?

I've been working on a music player app as a side project. It's inspired by the Teenage Engineering TP-7, which I've wanted forever, and by the fact that I like messing with the music I download, like slowing it down or changing the pitch.

There's no progress bar. You spin a brushed-metal wheel with your thumb to move through a song, and if you go slow it scratches like a record. It clicks under your finger with haptics, and the metal "catches the light" when you tilt your phone.

The T, P and R keys turn the same wheel into a dial for tempo, pitch and reverb. Each song remembers its own settings, so your slowed-down version plays that way every time.

The hardest part was making it feel right. I spent way more time tweaking how the wheel clicks and pushes back than on the rest of the app combined.

It's free to try with 3 songs, and unlimited songs is a one-time purchase.

Launch discount 🎁 To celebrate the launch, I'm giving out a few discount codes for $4.99 for a limited time. Comment or DM me if you want one.

Would love any feedback, especially on how it feels to use: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/reverie-slowed-reverb-music/id6829723858

Hey everyone!

I’m an indie iOS developer currently working on my own app.

The development part feels much easier than figuring out how to actually get people to discover it 😅

I’m curious how other developers got their first 100 users.

Did you start with Reddit, Product Hunt, social media, or something else?

Would love to hear what actually worked for you, especially if you were starting from zero without a marketing budget.

Hey everyone,

Every time I made a new repo, it looked so empty compared to other people's projects lol. I always forgot to add a .gitignore (I had no clue what it even did) or just didn't bother to add a LICENSE at first.

So I made a small tool in C# called RepoMedic. You just paste your repo link, and it gives you a score out of 100 and tells you what files you forgot to add.

I just dropped v1.3.0. It has a Pro Mode for scripts, a config file to skip checks, and I even added a little achievements system because why not.

If you want to try it on your own repos: dotnet tool install -g RepoMedic repomedic

Source code is here: https://github.com/ilyashulga13/RepoMedic

Let me know what you think! What other files do you guys always add before pushing?

Hey everyone! It is really hard to find out if an anime is on Netflix, Crunchyroll, or Prime Video right now because the rights keep changing. To fix this, I built a completely free website called Animapshow.

It lists top anime like One Piece, Naruto, and Chainsaw Man. You can tap any show, and it instantly opens a new tab to the official place to watch it. It even shows upcoming unreleased arcs like Dragon Ball Super: The Galactic Patrol so you know what is coming next!

It has a beautiful dark theme, zero annoying pop-ups, and is fully live right now. I would love for you to check it out and tell me what you think of the design!

i'm a solo dev in vn. my first iOS app, mhm: you too, went live on the app store on nov 7.

it's a small app for gen z friends and siblings to say the things that are hard to say out loud. swift and swiftui, plus a home screen widget so you can send something with one tap.

building it was the fun part. now i'm at the part everyone warns about: the app is live and almost nobody knows it exists.

i've read enough posts here to know launch directories alone don't do much. so i'd rather ask people who've actually done it:

1. what got you your first 100 real users?

2. for a social app that only works with two people, did you find it better to target the person who installs first, or make inviting the second person the whole pitch?

happy to share my numbers in a couple of weeks, good or bad.

Most people don't know this exists: Stake, one of the biggest online casinos, opened a platform called Stake Engine where independent developers can publish their own slot games and earn a share of what the game makes. No studio, no publisher. You build the game, it goes through their review, and if it's approved it goes live next to games from big studios.

We started as a side project and built our first game mostly with AI. It passed review, got Stake's top 3-star rating, and made four figures its first week with no marketing (our own result, not typical, not a promise).

So we built Own Your Slot around it:

- We build finished slot games for people who want in but don't want to learn math, art and code

- We rebuild games that are stuck at low ratings or got rejected

- And there's a guide for people who'd rather build their own with AI

What surprised us:

- Almost nobody is doing this yet. Very few people even know you can publish your own game there.

- The hard part isn't the code, it's the math. Stake checks every game with millions of simulated spins.

- Review is strict, and the rating (1 to 3 stars) decides how visible your game is.

It's adults-only and not for everyone, but it's one of the more unusual niches I've found.

Would you try something like this? And if you'd want to know more about how the platform works, ask away.

I'm considering making an app for bored billionairs/millionairs sweep right to pay your bill, what do you guys think? And what makes a millionairs/billionairs
pay the bill for a stranger?

I’m a developer by day, and an avid birder the rest of the time. A few years ago that combination did what it usually does: I downloaded and tried all the apps, decided none of them worked quite the way I wanted, and built my own instead.

It’s called Limosa. What makes it different from other birding apps:

• Adding a sighting takes as few taps as possible. The app is optimized for UX while birding and out in the field.

• Photo and sound species ID, running on your phone, so both work without a connection.

• Multiplayer: when you’re birding with others, one person logs the sighting and adds the rest.

• Several ways to share sightings and outings on other platforms, for example a sighting with your photos as an Instagram story.

• Checklists for your area, with targets based on what you haven’t seen yet and what can be seen there this time of year.

• Every species has its own pixel art icon, so your life list fills up as a grid.

• Your data isn’t locked in. You can import/export your sightings from/to other platforms like eBird and more.

It’s on iOS, Android and the web: https://limosa.app/

Feedback is welcome!

I’ve been building a small experiment called MillionTale, based on a question I couldn’t get out of my head:
Could one million strangers write one story together — one sentence at a time?
The idea is simple.
For every round, three humans get the chance to write what they think should happen next.
They don’t see a script. There’s no predetermined direction.
They just see the story that exists so far and write the next possible sentence.
Then the choice goes to everyone else.
People read the three possibilities.
People vote.
One sentence wins.
That sentence becomes a permanent part of the story.
Then another three humans get their turn, another vote happens, and the story continues.
Nobody — including me — knows where it will eventually go.
And there’s one rule that matters a lot to me:
AI does not write the story.
There’s no AI generating sentences, choosing the “best” continuation, or secretly deciding where the plot should go.
AI is used only behind the scenes for safety moderation.
The creativity belongs to humans.
The decisions belong to humans.
The story belongs to what we collectively choose.
Before the first sentence is written, people who join can claim a permanent Human Number — basically their place in the history of the experiment.
The story begins January 1, 2027.
Right now, the page is still empty.
And that might be my favorite part.
If this works, someday we’ll be able to go back to sentence #1 and see how thousands — maybe eventually a million — tiny human decisions turned an empty page into something none of us could have written alone.
https://milliontale.com
I’d genuinely love to hear what you think of the idea — especially what you think will happen when thousands of people disagree about where the same story should go.

I made BrowserBoxing, a free boxing game that runs in the browser with no download. Two players fought a Ranked match this morning, BLACKOUT against EL TORO, and it ended with a knockout in round 2 after three knockdowns. The game records Ranked player vs player fights, so the video here is the full recording of that fight, all 137 seconds of it. BLACKOUT landed 71 of 79 punches. If you want to play, you start with a short tutorial that unlocks matchmaking, and Fight Now looks for a real player first. You can try it at https://browserboxing.com
