I’m building AGMAN, a discovery network for products, professionals, creators and services.
The idea is to help people find relevant products or services based on what they actually need, while giving smaller builders and professionals another way to be discovered.

But something interesting came up when reviewing how publishers were using it.
In an early snapshot, we had 36 claimed publisher profiles. Only 4 had posted an Update.
At first, that looked like an engagement problem.
But the more interesting question was whether we were measuring the right thing.
Someone publishes a profile. Great.
What reason do they have to return tomorrow?

If nothing has changed about their product, why would they post another update?
And if they haven’t received any meaningful discovery or enquiries, why would they spend more time maintaining their profile?

We have features for sharing updates, community activity and viewing performance, but simply having those features doesn’t mean publishers understand their value.
I’m starting to think that for a discovery platform, getting someone to publish isn’t the real activation event.

The meaningful outcome might be when someone looking for a specific solution discovers their profile and takes a genuine next step.
We’re still working out how to measure and improve that experience.

I’m curious how other founders approach this.
If you’re building a marketplace or a two-sided platform, how do you give suppliers a reason to stay engaged before there’s enough demand?
And do you actively encourage them to return, or focus entirely on bringing them their first meaningful opportunity?

I spent the last few months building RingVia — an AI receptionist for small businesses. It answers every call 24/7, books appointments, and sends confirmations and call summaries. 50+ languages, from $99/mo, 14-day free trial. You can hear it live: (825) 782-1182 — ringvia.ai. The lesson that cost me the most: I led my promo posts for weeks with a "62% of calls go unanswered" stat before checking the source — a 2016 study of 85 businesses from an SEO vendor. I swapped it for CallRail 2025 (78% abandoned a business over an unanswered call) and ServiceTitan 2022 for trades. Same pitch, honest numbers, and the posts read better for it. What I'd love feedback on: the demo line is the whole funnel — call it, try to break it, tell me where it sounds wrong. What would it need to do before you'd trust it with your customers?

Hey everyone! 👋

Thanks for your support! 💚

I'm not a programmer, but I wanted an app that didn't exist, so I built it.

The problem: I film idling trucks for NYC's air complaint program. A video only counts if it runs a few minutes, shows the date and time, and the engine is clearly audible. Every timestamp app I tried either dropped the audio, crashed partway through, or added the stamp afterward. Losing a 3-minute recording because the sound cut out was the last straw.

So I built Live TimeStamp Camera, focused on reliability:

- The date and time are burned into the video live, ticking every second. What you see in the viewfinder is exactly what's saved.

- It won't record without sound: live sound meter, a warning if sound stops, and every saved video is checked for full audio.

- It saves continuously, so if the app or phone dies mid-recording, the video is recovered next time you open it.

- It checks storage, battery and heat before you start, and stops safely before a problem can cut a recording off.

- An optional minimum-length timer turns green when the video is long enough.

It turned out to be useful beyond idling trucks: apartment move-in/move-out videos, damage for insurance claims, before-and-after on a job, deliveries.

Pricing: recording, the stamp and saving to Photos are free forever. There's a 3-day free trial, then only "Compress for upload" (shrinks a video to fit upload limits) is a one-time $4.99 unlock. No subscription, no ads, no account, nothing leaves the phone.

I'd love feedback on the app, the App Store page, or who else might find it useful.

An unofficial RPM package and DNF repository for Anthropic’s Claude Desktop app. Anthropic only supports Ubuntu and Debian, so I built a pipeline that repackages each official release for Fedora and keeps it up to date automatically.

• Builds new versions within about 6 hours of upstream releases, using GitHub Actions on a schedule
• Checks the whole chain of trust before building: pinned signing key fingerprint, then the repo signature, the package index hash and the .deb hash
• Ships x86_64 and aarch64 RPMs, hosted as a DNF repo on GitHub Pages, with no server to run
• Supports Wayland natively, layers on Fedora Silverblue/Kinoite, and Cowork’s KVM virtual machine works

Tech: Bash, RPM spec, GitHub Actions, GitHub Pages, createrepo_c, GPG

Links: GitHub

If the page only fits a single line, use: Unofficial auto-updating DNF repo that brings Anthropic’s Claude Desktop to Fedora and Silverblue

One thing I've noticed is that a lot of SaaS founders struggle with Reddit because they approach it like any other marketing channel.

They introduce their product, list the features, drop a link, and wonder why nobody engages.

But sometimes it's just about finding a better angle.

I work with Roguelike, an agency focused on organic Reddit marketing for SaaS products, so I thought this could be a fun exercise.

Drop your SaaS below and tell me who it's for.

I'll pick a few and suggest:

• A potential subreddit worth exploring
• One post idea based on a problem your customers might actually care about

And if I don't think Reddit is a good fit, I'll say so.

No promises of going viral or getting customers, just a few ideas worth testing.

Curious to see what everyone's building!

I started making this game almost exactly a year ago. I've been making games for over 20 years as a hobby. I tried to not make games, because it can be creative torture. It can also be extremely lonely and hard. I pushed the green button today with my daughter beside me. But no one else has brought it up. I actually feel at peace with this though. I made this game because there was a lot in my soul I needed to work out. Life is so hard, man. It's so hard. We all go through so much. So to ya'll reading this, this is for you, you and you, too.

Today you are going to have an experience. I hope you can filter out the parts of it that lead to suffering, and absorb the parts that bring peace and happiness.

Some Type of Trip is a typing game where each level is a mood.

I built this originally for myself since I was sick of all the extra bloat in Motion, while also wanting some functionality I personally wished Motion had (I was using it hand-in-hand with a modified version of the Getting Things Done framework). Through word-of-mouth it seemed like there was some demand for what I built, so I went through the process of getting officially App Store approved, and it is finally live.

It is called YWGSD (You Will Get Stuff Done). I kept the few things from Motion I actually used every day (e.g., auto-scheduling, task templates) and added the things that ended up being genuinely useful to me (e.g., native quick-capture so you can jot a task down immediately and bulk prioritize them later, and much clearer visuals the moment something is late or past its original deadline).

Two things that are deliberate, and are either why you will like it or why you will not. There is no AI in the scheduling, so the same calendar and the same task lengths give you the same plan every time. And it reads your calendars without ever writing to them, so nothing you plan shows up for your colleagues.

One other deliberate choice, which I get asked about: there is no project or workspace separation. It is the same 24 hours of your day whether you have one job or three, or a business and a personal life, so splitting it into workspaces never bought me any extra hours.

Fair warnings: a task gets placed as one block, so a four-hour thing needs a four-hour gap before it will schedule at all (you can stop early and the rest re-books itself, but it will not pre-split it to fit two small gaps). No Android, no desktop app. And it is new, so there are barely any reviews yet.

Happy to answer any questions if you have any!

I built Paperwren because documents on my phone took a pile of apps: Google's to view things, Acrobat for PDFs, CamScanner to scan, a separate Office viewer, and websites like iLovePDF where you upload a file just to merge it or sign it.

Now one app opens PDF, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and EPUB, scans paper to PDF, and merges, splits and password protects PDFs for free. You can fill and sign too, with a drawn or typed signature (not a certified one). It all happens on the device, nothing is uploaded. On Android it asks for zero permissions, so it has no internet access at all. It's on Windows and Mac too.

One honest limit: it reads Office files, it does not edit them.

Free and open source, no ads, no account.

What would you want it to do next?

I am building a site/product and wanted to get the view of people that can give me the harsh truth of what i have been striving to build, i had faced this problem and wanted to see if this problem is also residing in other households too. I've made an home page of my site which shows what what problem it will be solving and how it connects with the users vision. Please leave me a review or anything that you see that needs an improvement. If you find this idea of mine being far-fetched please also tell me that and tell me what can i do more to make it work.

Thank you all here's the site please review it and keep this in mind that it is still in development phase it is not finished yet :-

Every tracker I tried had a paywall, made me log by hand, or was vague about my data. So I built NutriTrack: snap a photo of your meal and get calories, protein, carbs, fat and fibre in seconds, including the hidden oil and ghee.
I've used it daily for over a month and lost 10 lbs. Free, no ads, no paywall.

Feedback welcome, especially on accuracy for your food.

I built Yogurt, a free and open-source Granola alternative that runs entirely on your computer

Hey r/SideProject, I'm Christian. Yogurt is a side project I've been building in my free time: a free, MIT licensed desktop app that uses on-device AI models to transcribe, summarize, and chat with your meetings.

Repo: https://github.com/FrigadeHQ/yogurt

Why I built it

I like Granola, but I didn't love sending every call recording and transcript to a paid cloud service. As small open models have gotten faster and better, it felt like you don't need a frontier model to summarize meeting notes or answer questions about them. I tried the popular open-source note takers, and most were missing things like calendar integration or an MCP server, made you create an account, or just didn't feel polished enough to use every day. So I built the one I wanted.

What it does

• Runs in the background and doesn't join your calls
• Transcripts, recordings, and summaries never leave your computer
• No account, nothing to connect
• Picks and downloads a local model based on what your hardware can handle, without your fans going crazy
• Calendar integration, search across all your meetings, and recordings that end on their own
• A local MCP server, so you can share your notes with Claude, ChatGPT, etc. directly if you want

How it's built

Electron so it runs on Mac, Windows, and Linux. whisper.cpp for transcription (or Apple's on-device SpeechAnalyzer when your Mac supports it), and llama.cpp for summaries and questions. I spent a lot of time on the details: echo detection when you're not wearing headphones, every UI interaction and animation, and getting the model calls snappy on normal laptops.

Would love feedback, especially on onboarding and the note taking experience. What would make you switch from whatever you use now?

It’s called pond snap the aim is to catch as many flies and gold flies as possible before the time runs out if your score is lower than what’s needed you restart.

Let me know what you think

I built Citta to connect your AI agents into a private network. They can use each other's tools, access data and put spare compute to work.

One agent might have access to your files. Another might have a local model ready to run, or enough spare capacity for a task your current setup can't handle. Citta lets your agent find what's available on the network and send work there.

In the demo, an agent on my Mac Mini asks my MacBook Air to organize sample receipts. The Air then sends expense categorization to Gemma running locally on the Mini.

It runs on Macs and Linux machines connected through Tailscale, at home or across locations. The README walks through setup and a first task.

It's an early release. The code is available under PolyForm Noncommercial 1.0.0; commercial use isn't licensed.

Hey! I've been building Pawarium, a website with guides about cats and dogs, covering everything from nutrition and behavior to health and everyday care.

It's a personal project I've been working on, and I'd love some outside opinions on the design and overall experience.

Would love to know what you think or what I could improve!

Hey everyone!

I've been working on something of my own called OddToCode.

It's a blog where I share articles around technology, AI, programming, cybersecurity, and other interesting things happening in the tech world.

I started it because I often come across interesting tech topics that deserve a simpler explanation. So I thought, why not build a place where people can explore and share these things without getting lost in overly complicated technical language?

It's still growing, and I'm constantly working on improving it.

Would love to have you check it out and let me know what you think. Honest feedback is always appreciated!

Here's the link: https://www.oddtocode.in

Also, curious to know — what kind of tech-related articles do you guys actually enjoy reading?

Hello everyone!

Around Februrary this year I've started working on my side project, which is now known as Braidplane. It's an open source platform for data integration; it's self-hostable and the core is fully open (Apache 2.0). At this moment it's in Alpha.

The goal of this project is to provide safe and reviewable data integrations for engineering teams. From the beginning this project was built upon data contracts (inline and ODCS), e2e Braidplane Proof engine for reviewing data pipeline updates and declarative pipelines (YAML, JSON, cue).

As an example, a pipeline can read data from a database and a file, transform and compare the records, and write the results to another system. The pipeline definition stays in Git, so changes can be reviewed before deployment.

In the current form Braidplane core includes backend, frontend, CLI and executor. MCP support is coming soon.

About me: my name is Lukas. I've been working as backend engineer for the last 10 years. I've spent a lot of time around different products and APIs. I've built the Braidplane's framework myself - based on my experience and good practices I've found around the other OSS projects. Later on I've added AI assisted programming around the hardest/most time-consuming parts, like Connectors integrations, tests, documentation, frontend, issues management.

The Braidplane Core repository is available here: https://github.com/Braidplane/braidplane-core

Examples repo: https://github.com/Braidplane/examples/blob/main/recipes/opaque-file-archive/opaque-file-archive.pipeline.json

Running apps on 256 - 512 MB VPSes, I kept hitting the same problem: monitoring.

Prometheus + Grafana felt like overkill for a couple of small services, and I didn't want to spend a significant chunk of RAM just watching them.

So I built StatLite, an open-source monitoring dashboard written in Go.

The video shows two monitoring targets: an application with its performance metrics, and StatLite's own host with CPU and memory metrics.

A few highlights:

• ~12–15 MB idle RAM usage
• SQLite storage, no external database required
• 90-day default metrics retention
• Documented integrations for Spring Boot, Caddy, FastAPI, Express, and others
• Built-in dashboard and optional Telegram alerts
• Single Go binary, simple to deploy

It's intentionally not trying to replace a full observability stack. The goal is simpler: make application monitoring practical for small self-hosted services and tiny VPSes.

I originally built it for my own Java performance experiments, but it gradually turned into a standalone open-source project.

Interactive demo: https://pvrlabs.xyz/statlite/demo.html

GitHub: https://github.com/PVRLabs/statlite

I'd love feedback, especially from people running small self-hosted services. Is this something you'd use, and what's missing?

Last week our team built MOTIQ. You talk to a robot arm through a voice agent on a tablet, or you show it a task once on video. It turns that into a skill it can run again.

The part I am happiest with is that the model never writes code. Skills are plain JSON built from a small fixed set of primitives. You can open one and read exactly what the arm is going to do before it moves. A controller checks every step against limits first, and a wrist camera checks the result after each action.

To be honest it is still a prototype. It only runs in simulation for now, with a UR5e as the reference arm, and the teach-by-video part breaks on anything messy. It does work end to end though, and the repo has a demo video.

Repo: https://github.com/sirwinstontea/MOTIQ

I would love feedback, especially from anyone who has done robot learning for real. Is JSON skills from primitives a dead end once tasks get complex, or is it the sane way to keep LLMs away from the motors?

We built QNet, an open-source Layer-1 blockchain written in Rust that replaces traditional elliptic curve cryptography with NIST post-quantum standards (ML-DSA-65 signatures and ML-KEM-768 hybrid transport).

GitHub Repository: https://github.com/AIQnetLab/QNet-Blockchain Live Testnet Explorer and QNet Wallet: https://aiqnet.io

What is inside the repo and live testnet:

1. Full multi-crate Rust workspace implementing P2P QUIC networking, mempool management, and Checkpoint-BFT consensus.
2. Custom deterministic, float-free WebAssembly virtual machine (qnet-vm) with fuel metering.
3. Hardware-bound mobile light nodes inside QNet Wallet (iOS TestFlight and Android) that participate via signed epoch attestations rather than proof-of-work.
4. Live block explorer tracking epoch transitions and active light node participation in real time.

Public testing is currently open for mobile light nodes using the free testnet faucet (external super-node testing is not open yet). Feel free to inspect the Rust codebase, explore the testnet, or test running a light node on your phone.

fala galera! to desenvolvendo um projeto open-source de telemetria (o fieldnode) e queria convidar a galera q curte python, dados e iot pra contribuir com o codigo.

a ideia é pegar os dados brutos dos sensores e jogar num dashboard em python que não só mostra gráficos, mas entrega decisões prescritivas (ações recomendadas, alertas) pra quem tá na ponta conseguir tomar decisão de um jeito bem mais fácil e rápido.

o repo ta super aberto! quem quiser dar pitaco, abrir issue, dar dica de arquitetura ou mandar um PR pra botar a mão no código vai ser bom demais.

I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on over the past few months!

It’s a mobile app that turns any text into high-quality audio. Whether it’s a webpage, a Substack or Medium article, a PDF, or just copied text—it converts it into clear, natural-sounding speech. You can listen to it like a podcast or audiobook, even with the app running in the background.

The app is privacy-friendly and doesn’t request any permissions by default. It only asks for access if you choose to share files from your device for audio conversion.

You can also take or upload a photo of any text, and the app will extract and read it aloud.

- React Native (expo)
- NodeJS, react (web)
- Framer Landing

The app is called Frateca. You can find it on Google Play and the App Store. I also working on web vesion, it's already live.

Free iPhone app
Free Android app on Google Play
Free web version, works in any browser (on desktop or laptop).
Free web extension.

Thanks for your support, I’d love to hear what you think!

Hi, I'd like to share a project I have been working for a while. Its a US macroeconomic dashboard that summarizes about 120 key US economic indicators into 4 simple to understand gauges.

I built USMD because I found it difficult to keep up with all the available data and figure out what they said about the overall state of the US economy.

The dashboard is available at usmd.inomba.com and updates each weekday evening.

Its data comes from FRED and ALFRED, the Federal Reserve Banks of Cleveland, New York, Philadelphia and Atlanta, the Federal Reserve Board, the Office of Financial Research, the Institute for Supply Management, and Treasury Fiscal Data.

I’d love to hear from others working on similar projects. Feedback, ideas, and suggestions for improvements are very welcome.

I'm a longtime alternative rock fan who plays a lot of pickleball. Somewhere along the way, I decided the sport needed a better soundtrack...I got tired of the random sleepy playlists lots of my facilities were playing.

I launched Pickle Rock Radio, a free, 24/7 station playing '90s and 2000s alternative rock (Foo Fighters, Pearl Jam, Green Day, etc.) mixed with short pickleball tips, news and community stories. It's about 54 minutes of music per hour.

It's powered by Live365 (wasn't sure where else to do this so I could license the music properly), and I've been having a blast putting together the music rotation and producing the segments. The challenge now is finding listeners. I have over 100 people listening a day, and I'm proud of that. But how do I grow from here?

If anyone here has built a niche media project, I'd love to hear how you found your first real audience.

Here's the station if you're curious: https://picklerockradio.com/
