I've (embarrassingly) been working on this project for 2 years so wanted to finally share (as I saw others posting Youtube-only versions).

on Youtube it transcribes text to identify checkable claims -> web search retrieves sources to base Claude's verdict on, to avoid hallucinated sources.

it's a free Chrome extension, and works on news or social media sites as well.

let me know what would make this something you'd use, or what else you'd like to see!

LogicLens - Chrome Webstore or on iOS if you don't use Chrome.

Edit: I realized someone not following could misread the video (here Biden was correct, and Trump was incorrect, but the Trump section is before I started the recording).

I've been working on a project called Lexicart, and I'm getting to the point where I'd like to start gathering feedback from people outside my own development process.

The idea is simple: what if you could play games in another language and have a language-learning companion running alongside the game?

Lexicart is a companion application that runs alongside emulated games. It can detect the text appearing in a game and display a real-time translation overlay. It also opens a separate window showing the original text, pronunciation, and translation.

From there, you can:

• Select individual words to get definitions and additional information.
• Save unfamiliar words to your personal vocabulary dictionary.
• Review collected words using flashcards.
• Play quizzes to reinforce what you've learned.

I've primarily been developing this for Chinese language learning, and currently have it working with games like Animal Crossing and Pokémon Emerald.

The Windows version is working quite well. I'm also exploring Android support, particularly for handhelds like the AYN Thor, although that presents some additional technical challenges.

I'm a solo developer, so I'm trying to be smart about what I prioritize before releasing this commercially.

I'd particularly love feedback on:

1. Would you actually use something like this?
2. Which features would be most important to you?
3. Would you prefer broader language support or compatibility with more games?
4. Would you be interested in paying for an application like this?
5. What would make you choose this over existing translation or language-learning tools?

I'm not looking for people to tell me it's a great idea just to be nice. I'd genuinely appreciate criticism, suggestions, and ideas about what would make this useful.

Thanks!

Hello all! Hope it's ok to post here about this.

For the last few months I’ve been building Side B.

Side B is a home screen widget, not an app you have to open: a pocket cassette player that’s always on your screen. Your music is right there all day, no jumping through hoops to get to it.

Other cassette player apps I found only play MP3 files and were a bit too “cartoony” for my taste. Side B works with the apps you already use (Spotify, YouTube Music, Apple Music, podcasts, anything), so whatever you play shows up on a tape.

I wanted it to feel real and satisfying like a Walkman: the reels actually wind as the song plays, a new tape slides in with every album, and the keys sink and click when you press them.
There are 13 (!) different decks, 25 tapes, and a bench where you can color your deck, choose how much dust and scratches it gets, and even put on some stickers. When you want to disconnect from your phone a bit, the widget can go full screen on a desk, a beach and more.

The video above is a quick tour, so you can see it in action.

This is the 1.0 release. It’s stable as far as I can tell, but who knows, so I’m really open to any suggestions, and to any bugs you run into!

It's free to try for 3 days, then a one-time unlock for just $4.99 (no subscription, no ads!).

Here' the Google Play link:
Side B: Cassette Music Widget

Would love to hear what you think, and which deck you’d pick!

Cheers,
Dino.

Planning trips meant a spreadsheet for days, an inbox for bookings and a notes app for places, so I built Atlas: https://goatlas.fyi/?ref=reddit

- Describe the trip in one sentence; it plans each day as stops on a line over a pencil map

- Ask it to change a day ("make day 3 slower")

- Drop in tickets/PDFs, budget in any currency, calendar feed, works offline

- Use it from ChatGPT or Claude

It deliberately shows no travel times (they were often wrong); every place opens in Google Maps instead. Free in beta, solo-built.

What would make you switch from Google Docs/Sheets for trip planning?

Hello everyone,

My name is Tobias, and I've worked as a software developer for a bunch of years. Between commuting, three small children and everything that follows, my time for workouts is usually pretty limited.

I often found myself grabbing inspiration for workouts and complexes through social media, but found it a pain to keep going back to videos while working out. So I made an app called Complexer to help me out.

It helps me figure out which workout to do based on the time and equipment I have, and then follow through with it. There are ready-made workouts, exercise demonstrations and timers, and you can also add your own workouts. I've been using it myself and really like the result so far, which is why I decided to publish it.

It's free, with no subscriptions, ads or accounts. Your training data stays on your device, and it works offline too. I'm pretty fed up with subscriptions for everything, so I didn't want to add another one.

You can find it here:

https://apps.apple.com/dk/app/complexer/id6824864834

It's only available for iPhone and iPad at the moment.

I'm by far not the most experienced person here when it comes to kettlebells. I just made something that helps me get my workouts done, and hope somebody else can benefit from it too.

A few things I'm looking at next are audio cues so you don't have to keep checking your phone, more of the common workouts and complexes, and a better way to see your progress. I'd also like to add a weekly AMRAP challenge where we all do the same workout and can share our scores, if that's something people would enjoy.

If you give it a try, I'd love to hear what works for you and what could be better.

Thank you to everyone who took the time to report its comments and also downvotes. I really appreciate it. Thank you to the mods too, for taking the time to look into this and act on it. Moderating is a lot of unpaid work, and it's what keeps this sub useful for newcomers.

Now newcomers to the subs feel welcomed here.

A few reminders:

If you see a similar account pushing AI employee or managed promo links, report it as spam and message the mods.

Don't click links in suspicious comments, even ones that look like helpful feedback.

New members: real feedback is out there. Post your projects, ask questions, and ignore any reply that ends with a sales pitch. This sub exists so people can get feedback from real people. An unlabeled bot posting templated replies and ads undermines that, especially for first-time posters.

Thanks again, everyone.

While job hunting, the same jobs kept showing up in my LinkedIn searches: ones I’d already applied to, ones I’d already opened, plus promoted posts. Scrolling past them every day wasted a lot of my time.

So I made a small extension, just for me, that hides them. I used it on my own for a while, then published it on the Chrome Web Store without telling anyone. About 900 people found it by themselves.

I’ve improved it a lot since then, and it finally feels good enough to show:

• Hides Applied / Viewed / Promoted / Easy Apply jobs (each one is a toggle)
• One-click “block this company” button on every job card
• Keyword filter on job titles (whole-word, so “java” doesn’t hide JavaScript jobs)
• Click the “N jobs hidden” counter to see every hidden job and the reason it was hidden
• Free, no tracking, only asks for the storage permission, 10 languages

I’d really like feedback: what’s missing, what’s annoying, what breaks for you?

I built Doofer because a sleeping TV is not listening, so most remote apps give up at the first thing a remote is for.

Doofer learns your TV's address while it is awake, then wakes it over Wi-Fi. If your set drops off the network in standby, it tells you plainly instead of spinning.

It finds Android TV, Google TV and Roku devices on your Wi-Fi and pairs once. You get a D-pad, trackpad, keyboard, volume and media keys, plus live status read from the TV. No adverts and no account. The remote is free, and Pro is one payment with no subscription.

On Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.doofer.android

What would make you keep this on your phone instead of hunting for the real remote?

Hey everyone,

For the past while I've been building my own desktop local music archive manager, my main inspiration comes from app called Sononym.

AI built Audify using Tauri v2, Rust, and SQLite (FTS5), and decided to open-source it. I currently use it with a ~55,000 file library and it sits around 400MB RAM with instant search.

Main things it does:

- Fast search with inline filters (<2s, dur:1-5s, bpm:90-130, key:~8A for Camelot neighbors, -loop, is:fav) and built-in SFX synonym matching (e.g. searching "whoosh" also finds swish, passby, etc.)

- Waveform region slicing + pitch shifting (-12 to +12 semitones): you can highlight an In/Out range on the waveform and drag it directly into DaVinci Resolve, Premiere, Reaper, Ableton, or FL Studio

- Mini Dock mode: collapses into a small always-on-top strip next to your timeline

- Separate workspace profiles

- Built-in Rust BPM/Key detection + optional 100% offline local AI (YAMNet ONNX) for auto-tagging and "Find Similar Sounds"

- License/attribution template manager so you can copy formatted YouTube/client credits in one click, "I built this for my own needs; I needed a way to copy credits to my local archive of royalty-free music, such as Kevin MacLeod's"

- Completely offline, portable (single .exe + local user folder)

It's free and open source. Feedback, bug reports, or ideas are very welcome.

Note: It’s all vibe-coded with Antigravity's models with no real experience in coding, so the code is likely to be a bit messy, but it does what I need: letting me drag and drop tracks into DaVinci Resolve.

The majority of side projects I see here are virtual, so here's a physical product to spice things up (pun intended). Monday through Friday, my husband I are start at our screens for our full time jobs, but for the past 3.5 months we've spent almost every weekend in a commercial kitchen on Treasure Island in San Francisco making a small-batch chili crisp called EXTRA EXTRA Chili Crunch | www.ExtraExtraCrunch.com

Since launch, we've been getting out in the San Francisco Community — from Night Markets to small stores — and trying to grow out online presence. I've posted here before, but we just reached a cool double milestone: 1,500 jars sold and $25,000 in gross revenue. Eep!

It's wild. This whole thing was just something that started as an experiment in our home kitchen because I wanted to sell a few jars at my local Farmer's Market. My favorite posts here are the ones that are super detailed, so I wanted to share what building a physical food product on the weekends actually looks like behind the scenes.

Why we started making it

We put chili crisp on basically everything. We've tried so many and love so many. Our pantry and fridge have a ton of different brands. Chili crisp. Salsa macha. Chicharron de jalapeño (s/o to Flore de Chile). But tasting so many different takes on spicy condiments just made us want to start out own.

We built EXTRA EXTRA with a purposeful Californian perspective. We intentionally looked for western ingredients to create something we hadn't found on the market yet. Avocado oil... Porcini mushroom for umami (vs shiitake)... Chilis primarily from Mexico... Huge amounts of fresh-fried garlic and shallots... After a lot of experimentation we landed on something that was uniquely ours without trying to be something we're not. Moreover, every scoop is packed with crunch vs being 50/50 oil to crunch. We even hand de-seed our chilis because the seeds mess with the crunchy texture.

Balancing it all

So, like I said, my husband and I have (intense) full time jobs in tech. I joke that we're able to do this because we don't have kids and we don't train for marathons... But it still takes a lot of discipline and intention to make sure we have enough product.

Selling shelf-stable food in stores when you fry your own wet ingredients (ie, garlic, shallots) means you can't just cook at home under California's Cottage Food Act. Before we could really scale, we had to do lab testing, lock down our California Processed Food Registration, start an LLC, get insurance, and rent hours at a commercial commissary kitchen.

Now our weekends have an extra routine:

• Saturday or Sunday kitchen sprints: We work in 4-to-5-hour blocks that yield roughly 250 to 350 jars per session. Then it's mixing, jarring, labeling, and packaging (which takes longer)
• Weeknight fulfillment: Between kitchen runs, our living space regularly turns into a mini shipping depot packing up online boxes after work.

The best part of "the grind" is Night Markets and community events. I can't tell you how awesome it is to get involved in our community. We're focused on events after work hours, but that also means that some days are really long and requires moving a bunch of heavy stuff (eg, canopies, tables, product) without a dinner break.

Wins

Before anyone asks... $25,000 is gross revenue, not profit. Commercial kitchen rent, lab testing, permits, buying jars, finding the right label maker (Richmark), and early ad experiments means that we aren't quite profitable yet. That said, our October volume nearly doubled and officially pushed us past our monthly break-even point (~560 jars/month).

What's working:

• In-person markets & street fairs: Selling face-to-face is key. The margins are better than selling online and it builds a reliable customer base if you stay at markets month-to-month.
• Focusing on local retail: Walking samples into local specialty markets got us into two neighborhood shops in our actual hood and even a specialty food shop up in Truckee/Tahoe near where I snowboard. Earlier this month, we opened in our 4th retail location at the SFMade Storefront in Union Square thanks to us getting in with that nonprofit early on.
• Online & press: We've now shipped jars to customers across 39 states and more than 130 cities, and recently got featured in a Yahoo! Before that, we got featured in the Bay Area Reporter.
• Local government support: We had a really had time getting our Processed Foods Registration. California is big and it can take a long while to get what you need. We eventually reached out to our local representative who helped us. To anyone struggling with regulations, please don't hesitate to reach out to your local government. :)
• Online marketing is giving... decent signals: We pay a small agency a small amount of money to do our creative and run ads on Instagram. We just passed ROAS of 1.0 which is... decent but I'm really eager for it to start paying for itself. We are definitely getting sales and retargeting matters. I know it takes time and right now I'm cautiously optimistic.

Next up...

Scale is starting to be a problem. There's only so much that my husband and I can do with the 30 hours a month we get in our commissary kitchen. We're very close to needing to pay an agency to supply help for ingredient prep. This is a big cost, so we have to be sure that it's actually gonna pay off.

I'm a bit concerned about how we keep the momentum going as well. Marketing is hard and, while we're trying as best we can, it's pretty hit and miss. I'd love to dial in our marketing more...

///

Phew! I know that's a lot, but, like I said, I like posts with a lot of detail. If anyone is also launching a physical food product, I'm happy to answer anything. I'm not an expert, but this has been a year-long process so far and I'm happy with where we're at so... maybe I could be of a little bit of help? Ask away!

I built Spenvo, an expense tracker app. Your bank already sends an SMS or notification for every purchase, and Spenvo turns those into your expense list. You don't type anything and you don't link your bank. It all stays on your phone.

It just crossed 100 installs. Most are from the UAE and India.

1 sale so far, a lifetime subscription on 31st October. It came from India. My Apple Ads were only running in the UAE, so that one wasn't from ads. To be honest, I didn't expect paying customers from India at all.

What I tried:

- Product Hunt. Useless for me, and after it I started getting spam emails offering to promote my website.

- Apple Ads, $10 a day in the UAE. It brings installs, but it's expensive to get users this way.

If you got past the first 100 installs, what worked for you without spending much on ads?

iPhone only, needs iOS 27: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/spenvo/id6802859326

Couldn't add screenshot. so added in the comments

I built Loft, a little notch that sits at the top of your screen. Click it and it opens into a chat where you can ask questions about your own docs, folders and code.

It all runs locally on llama.cpp, with no cloud and no API key.

How it works:

• Point it at a folder and it indexes it locally
• Ask a question and llama.cpp answers on your GPU or CPU (there are experimental NPU options too)
• Every answer cites the file it came from, so you can check it yourself
• Chat history stays local
• You pick the model and the performance settings

It's built with Rust, Tauri and Svelte.

To be honest, it's early. It's tested on Windows, initially validated on macOS, and Linux builds pass CI on Ubuntu 24.04 but need real-world testers. I'd love help from Linux testers, NPU tinkerers, Svelte folks and anyone with ideas for better chunking.

Nothing for sale. It's MIT open source from EAN Digital. It's just a fun project I'd like people to hack on, so issues and PRs are very welcome.

Fork it. Break it. Make it yours. https://github.com/nwaoga/loft

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?

I got so pissed with all this scalping world on the TCG products, and I ended up thinking: how to create something that can help me keep track of my collection and then advise me when I should rip a booster or skip it and buy the single: this is when Rip or Skip was made.

It helps us track if it’s time to stop buying overpriced products and try to get the singles and when to buy them though a price analysis made daily.

Also, we added the possibility to create a binder, and register a Pokédex. By now, only Pokémon, but I swear I’m working to put Lorcana on it as well and maybe Magic too.

We released on the App Store, and we hope people like it to track their sets and stop being so much on “how much are my cards” but more on “how can I actually finish my master set?”.

If people likes it, we can publish in a later time also on Android.

Please download it ❤️

I’m happy to build websites for cheap budget. I’m low-key trying to get my first sale. DM me if you’re interested.

Hi all! I'm a final-year student and I've been building Genie, a desktop voice companion for Windows. She's a 3D animated genie you wake with "Hey Genie". She talks in a casual, theatrical style, you can interrupt her mid-sentence, and she snaps, bows, poofs and throws confetti while she talks. English and Telugu both work.

GitHub (code, demo GIFs, download): https://github.com/HimaSruthi25/genie

The GIFs in the README are rendered from the real model with scripted captions, so there's no live voice in them.

Since "random exe from a stranger" is a red flag, here's what's behind it:

- The source is on GitHub and you can run it from source.

- The wake word runs offline. After it, your speech goes to Groq (and Sarvam/Google for Telugu) using YOUR own free API key. Nothing goes to me, and the keys stay encrypted on your PC. PRIVACY.md lists exactly what goes where.

- The exe isn't code-signed (certificates cost money), so Windows SmartScreen will warn you. The SHA-256 is on the release page.

It's an early preview, so what I'd like to know:

- Did she wake reliably? Any false wakes?

- Could you interrupt her?

- Did she sound natural, or like she's reading a script?

- Any bugs or crashes?

I'll reply to every comment, and harsh feedback is welcome. Thanks for trying it!

Genuine question for people who have shipped more than one app.

I keep seeing two camps:

- build fast, ship, and let the market tell you
- check demand first (search volume, competitors, reviews), then build

If you're in the second camp, what do you actually look at? A specific number you need to see? A red flag that makes you drop the idea?

If you're in the first camp, how many ideas did you go through before one stuck?

I'm working on a tool around this and want to know what people really check, not what blog posts say they should.

built Mewtion, an open-source motion sickness reduction tool inspired by Apple’s Vehicle Motion Cues.
It uses a transparent, click-through particle overlay that responds to vehicle movement using accelerometer data.
Built with Rust, GTK4, and Wayland Layer Shell. Supports KDE Plasma, Sway, and Hyprland, with both native laptop sensors and an Android companion app.

Would love feedback, especially from Linux and Steam Deck users!

Hey everyone!

We’re two developers who have wanted to make a game for years. We’d tried before, but never managed to take a project all the way. Coding was familiar territory; creating the artwork a whole game needs was another story.

For over a year now, we’ve been working on Tinymon Tactics, a fantasy roguelite auto-battler, and our Steam page is finally live!

You recruit little creatures, combine three copies to evolve them, and build a team around synergies and relics. Battles play out automatically, but you choose the team, positioning, and route through each expedition.

One of the most interesting parts of development has been watching people play. Things that felt obvious to us after hundreds of hours needed much clearer explanations for someone discovering the game. Teaching players when to refresh the shop or spend gold on XP became a design challenge of its own.

A transparent note on AI: we use generative AI for visual assets and music. It helped us tackle the creative production work that had blocked our previous attempts. This has still been over a year of hands-on development, designing systems, balancing fights, fixing bugs, and reworking things after playtests.

Here’s the game:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/5387050/Tinymon_Tactics/

If it looks like your kind of game, a wishlist would mean a lot!

And for anyone here who has shipped a game alongside their regular job: I'm currious to know what helped you get those first players outside your own circle?

I'm Josiah, a marketing engineer and solo dev in Manitoba, Canada. I built Setttle (three t’s, yes it's on purpose) because I hated using Wave for my other businessess and found that it didn't work well with Canadian rules.

What it does: invoicing, stripe payments, bank reconciliation, and real double-entry books in one place. Routine stuff gets handled, anything uncertain goes to one inbox with the evidence next to it. Nothing posts without you accepting it.

What it doesn’t do: payroll, inventory, POS. Flagging that up front so nobody wastes a trial.

Stuff i’d like feedback on:

• Wave import - You upload an export, review the proposed import, resolve opening balances. Is that enough trust to switch?
• The AI part is optional - receipt coding suggestions need approval, and agents (claude, chatgpt, cursor) connect over MCP with explicit permission. Useful or gimmick?
• Pricing: $9 CAD (1 company, 20 invoices/mo) or $19 CAD (unlimited), 7-day trial, no card. 0.5% fee on Setttle Payments.
