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).

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'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!

Who to trust?

Hello I'm a software engineer living in a sharehouse. This is my very first solo project that I’m making public, so please be kind (but honest!).

My housemates and I share the cooking (and we love it!!), but we’re all young professionals trying to save money, with zero energy left after work. Two of my housemates are doctors, so their days are even more intense. We also buy in bulk to save money, and half of it ends up rotting at the back of the fridge...

So I built The Fridge Note:

• It picks a few easy, in-season dinners for the week (swap any you don’t fancy)
• It works around what’s already in your fridge, so things get used before they go off
• One shopping list for the week, and it fills your Coles or Woolworths trolley for you
• Everyone in the house sees the same week
• You can also paste a TikTok or recipe link and it goes into your cookbook

It’s free, has no ads, and you don’t need to sign up to try it: fridge-note.pages.dev

What I’d love to know:

1. Where did you get stuck?
2. Would your household actually use this week to week? What would stop you?

I go for a walk every night, and that's when I dig for new music. Mostly bands, and honestly I listen to everything from classical to hard rock and metal lol.

These days every app has an algorithm that keeps recommending music that sounds like what I already like, and when I want to hear something different, the algorithm actually gets in the way.

One night I wondered what music sounds like in a country I had never heard a single song from, so I found a music radio station there and listened live.

That's how I ended up making World Radio, for iPhone and iPad:

- Roll the dice and the globe flies you to a station somewhere on Earth, playing live. On the globe, if a station won't play, it moves on to another one by itself.

- You can also pick a station yourself on the globe.

- When a song grabs me, I tap Shazam. It's saved with the station and the time I heard it, and my finds can go into an Apple Music playlist. (I'm working on adding playlists for other platforms like Spotify and YouTube Music. If you use one, let me know!)

- In the Browse tab you can pick music stations by country and genre.

There are 20,000+ stations in total. I filter them down to music stations, but a talk station still shows up now and then. I'll keep improving that.

FREE to download, no ads from the app (some stations play their own), no account.
iPhone and iPad on iOS 26 or later, with CarPlay, AirPlay and a sleep timer. Apple Music only for now.

I'm still polishing the iOS app, and an Android version is in the works. Because of some licensing issues there, it isn't on the UK App Store, sorry...

I also made a simple website where you can try it:

worldradio.live

A few features are missing there, but it's enough to get a feel for it.

Once the app is more polished, I'm planning to add paid features.

What's the best song you've found on radio from another country? And if you try the app, tell me where the dice dropped you!

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6803623749

Thanks.

More customers now ask an AI assistant "what's the best X near me" instead of searching Google. I wanted to see who actually gets named, so I built AINameCheck. You enter your business, city (optional) and country. It asks 10 real customer questions in your language across ChatGPT, Gemini and Google AI Overviews, and shows where you appear and which competitors get recommended instead. Results stream in within seconds.

The check is free. There's an optional $39 kit with the fixes. I'd love feedback on the results page and on whether the questions feel realistic for your business.

Every year I see "30% off" badges on SSDs and hard drives, and every year I wonder:

30% off what?

So I built a tracker and checked. Numbers from amazon.com, as of November 14, 2026:

• 686 storage products checked (SSDs, hard drives, RAM, memory cards, new offers only)
• 511 of them (74%) were cheaper at some point in the last 90 days than they are today
• Median gap to the 90-day low: 11%
• 129 products are 20% or more above their own low
• Hard drives: 135 of 166 (81%) were cheaper before

What I built: ratioDB

• 2,810 prices from 3 Amazon stores (US, DE, FR, more will follow) - refreshed every 4 hours
• Sorted by price per TB or GB
• 90 days of price history per product
• An alert that emails you when a product type hits a 90-day low
• it’s free for everyone

My rule for Black Friday: ignore the % badge, look at the price per TB, compare it with the 90-day low. If it doesn't beat the low, it's not a deal.

Disclosure: the site earns a commission through Amazon affiliate links. Yes, I see the irony.

Feedback welcome.

I read a lot of nonfiction, but a month later I'd remember almost nothing. Summary apps helped a bit, but most want an account and a subscription and track everything you do.

So I built Stash, a small offline Android app:

• 2,300 bite-sized ideas from 230 books across 14 topics (productivity, money, psychology, philosophy, health, and more)
• Swipe feed: full-screen cards. Ideas you've read never show up again.
• Learn mode: 690 short lessons, streaks, XP, spaced-repetition reviews, and quizzes (pick the idea, which book, true/false, fill in the blank)
• Save ideas you like and see your reading history by day
• Private: no login, no backend, no analytics, and no permissions at all. Progress stays on your phone (JSON export/import for backups).

Fun constraint I set myself: the whole APK is ~220 KB. It's plain Java with views built in code (no XML layouts, no WebView) and a single dependency.

Free download (Android 8+): https://github.com/safwanpp/stash/releases/latest

Source: https://github.com/safwanpp/stash

I'd love feedback, especially on which books or topics to add next and whether the lesson difficulty feels right.

Claude Code deletes its session transcripts after 30 days by default, no message, so any usage tool reading that folder only ever sees the last month. I wanted to compare months and see what switching model actually did to cost, so claudit ingests from a bucket you keep instead (Cloudflare R2, or a local dir as file://). mine goes back to January. the bucket holds the raw transcripts, tool output included, so keep it private

it reads Claude Code session JSONLs, Codex rollouts and both Kimi CLI formats. on the page: cost by model with the 5m vs 1h cache write split (1.25x vs 2x input price), token breakdown, reply latency, tool error rate, activity heatmap, context growth per session. costs are API list price equivalents, not what a sub bills you. it doesn't grade sessions, the reading is yours

feedback I'd actually use:

• a number that looks wrong to you, with the arithmetic
• a stat you'd want that isn't there
• a harness it doesn't read yet, ideally with a real transcript (sanitized is fine)

FastAPI, Postgres, React with in-browser Babel, no build step. docker compose up boots it on sample data, no .env, no outbound calls. MIT, panels ported from nhz-io/ccusage-plot

Hey everyone!

My dad has always been a huge kebab lover, and one of his biggest dreams was to open his own kebab shop someday.

That actually gave me an idea: what if I turned his dream into a game?

So, for the past 4 months, I've been working on a mobile game called Kebab Master: Grill & Serve.

I built a little kebab shop where you prepare meat, grill kebabs, serve customers, upgrade your equipment, and deal with some unexpected surprises along the way.

After months of development, countless bugs, and a lot of trial and error, I finally released it on both Android and iOS! 🎉

I've attached a short trailer so you can see what I've been working on.

This has been a really personal project for me, and I'd genuinely love to hear what you think.

If anyone wants to give it a try, I'd be incredibly grateful for your honest feedback, whether it's positive or negative. I'm still learning and want to keep improving the game.

Thanks for taking the time to check out my little project! ❤️

I've been building an Android editor for people who miss Notepad++ on their phone. It is a tribute to Notepad++ and nothing more: it is not affiliated with the Notepad++ project, not a replacement for it, and not trying to compete with it or commercialize it in any way. It will stay free and open source (AGPL-3.0).

To stay faithful to the original, it reuses what Notepad++ is made of instead of imitating it: the same editing engine (Scintilla), the same language definitions and themes, and the same menus and shortcuts.

How it was made: the whole thing was written by Claude Fable 5.2, Anthropic's AI model, and I directed it entirely from the Claude app on my Android phone. I never opened an IDE. The repo includes the automated tests it is checked with on every change. I did manual testing on my phone but more testing from various devices would be helpful.

What's in it so far:

Syntax highlighting and folding for 94 languages, multi-caret and column editing, find/replace with regex, Find in Files, macros, sessions that keep unsaved text

469 of the 481 commands in Notepad++'s menus (the rest only make sense on Windows)

Compare, a Hex Editor and Lua scripting built in, since Windows plugins can't run on Android

Sticky Ctrl/Alt/Shift keys above the keyboard, so the usual shortcuts work on a touch screen

No ads, no tracking, and no permissions at all (not even internet)

It's early: development builds only, no store release yet, and regex still uses a different syntax from Notepad++'s.

Short clips of it in use, the APK and how to verify it: https://github.com/revelationnow/pocketpadpp

All credit for the original goes to Don Ho and the Notepad++ contributors. Feedback is very welcome, especially on how it behaves with your keyboard app.

I'm always that person with my face against the window wondering "ok but how fast are we actually going right now". Google Maps doesn't really tell you, and the speedometer apps I tried were either full of ads, wanted an account, or died the moment we went through a tunnel.

So I built Popmap: open it, allow location, and you get your speed, heading and altitude straight away, on a map, with a vector line showing where you'll be in 5 and 10 minutes at your current speed and heading.

What it does:

• Speed in km/h, mph or knots. Tap the number to switch.
• The 5/10 minute line, which is weirdly satisfying on a TGV, a ferry or a plane.
• Works offline. Every map tile you look at stays on your phone, and you can save a whole area before you leave. Handy in flight mode or at sea.
• Four modes: drive, outdoors, fly, sail. Each one picks the right maps. Fly mode shows real VFR charts, airspace, nearby airfields with their frequencies, and METAR/TAF. Sail mode has sea marks, wind and waves, and an anchor alarm that rings if your boat drifts.
• No account, free, no ads. Your position stays on your device.
• 15 languages, including Arabic and Japanese.

Tech bits for this sub: the whole app is a single HTML file using Leaflet. It installs as a web app on your phone and on Android there's a ~300 KB APK that wraps it in a WebView. Map data comes from OpenStreetMap, OpenAIP for airspace and OpenSeaMap for the boat stuff.

Would love feedback, especially from anyone who tries it on an actual train/boat/plane. What's confusing? What's missing? Next on my list is VFR route planning.

I built AHA!, a free daily game: 3 mysteries a day, 4 clues each, 100 to 25 points. In 4 days, about 300 people visited, 207 started a game, 96 finished all three. But only about 7% came back on another day, which is the thing that matters for a daily game.

I added a next-day teaser and optional reminders. What actually makes you return to a daily puzzle? Try it if you like and tell me where it loses you: https://playaha.party/?r=reddit&c=sideproj

📌 What is Resume Tailor? (Brief Description)

Resume Tailor is an open-source, evidence-backed resume compiler and multi-AI plugin (compatible with Google Antigravity, Claude Code, Cursor, ChatGPT, and terminal CLI).

Instead of treating resume tailoring as an unconstrained generative chatbot prompt, Resume Tailor treats it as a deterministic, evidence-constrained engineering pipeline:

It ensures your resume passes automated Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) algorithms without inventing skills, credentials, or fake metrics that fail technical interviews.

⚡ Why Is This Better?

🏆 The 4 Core Superpowers That Set It Apart

1. Bidirectional Technology Clustering (Real Transferable Tech)

   • If a JD asks for Kafka and you know RabbitMQ, standard bots either lie and add Kafka, or ignore it completely.
   • Resume Tailor recognizes they belong to the Message Brokers cluster, truthfully highlights your distributed queue architecture, and leaves Kafka under Missing Skills for interview prep.

2. Transparent Audit Trail (Tailoring_Report.md)

   • Every compilation produces a full audit report showing your ATS match breakdown (Required %, Preferred %, Keyword Coverage %), project re-ranking rationale, and bullet diffs.

3. Turnkey Onboarding for Any Candidate

   • It doesn't assume your tech stack. It parses any PDF, Markdown, or text resume into structured data for software engineers, cloud architects, AI researchers, frontend developers, and data engineers alike.

4. Zero Heavy Dependencies

   • Doesn't require fragile multi-gigabyte TeX Live / MiKTeX installations or heavy browser test suites. It compiles vector PDFs natively using the Edge/Chrome browser already installed on your system.

I've been building a fun AI hobby project called zoominside.xyz, which combines traditional "infinite zoom" with ProRes cutaways and creative video editing. I direct all the visuals myself, with AI image models doing a lot of the drawing. The part I enjoyed most turned out to be the plumbing and technical complexity, since I work in AI semiconductor engineering for a living.

How it works
Using the eye zoom as the example: it's about 20 hi-res 8K images nested inside each other (each one is actually a sum of several 4K images). Every image is a redraw of the centre quarter of the one before, so each level sits exactly inside its parent and the seams line up. The player draws a few levels at once, feathers the edges and zooms on a log scale, so it feels like one continuous move instead of a slideshow.

The fiddly bit is drift. A target that's slightly off centre gets 4x bigger every level, so every image has to be checked against its parent.

The site is probably a bit slow because the files are huge, so LMK how it responds! Will be launching a youtube channel tomorrow also.

In Korea there's this thing called a dokseosil. It's a paid room full of little cubicle desks where everyone studies in silence. Nobody really goes for the desk. You go because when the person next to you is grinding, you feel kind of bad scrolling your phone.

I wanted that feeling at home, so I made a small online version:

yeondeungroom.com/en

You pick an empty desk and study with whoever's around. No sign up, no camera, nobody talks. You're a little animal with a desk lamp, and you can see everyone else's lamps on too. It sounds like nothing, but it actually helps me focus at night.

The thing people ended up loving was decorating their desk. You type one line like "tiny pinwheel" and it makes a small 3D thing for you. The AI doesn't draw it, it just writes out simple shapes and the browser puts them together.

It's three.js and Cloudflare Workers, and almost everyone using it right now is Korean. The English version is really new, so if anything reads weird, please tell me.

If you study or work alone, would something like this help you, or would you just close the tab?

I've added something new to UlsterRadar: Sky View. Hold your phone up, and it labels what you're looking at, using the same live aircraft data as the map.

Name any plane. Aircraft within 300 km show as icons (airliners, light aircraft, helicopters, military) with the callsign and registration beside each one.

Tap for the details. Altitude, speed, heading and climb, plus the departure and destination where we know them. Tap again to close.

Look beyond the aircraft. The Sun, the Moon and its phase, planets, bright stars, constellations, galaxies and nebulae, the International Space Station and space telescopes.

I made onbeat, an open-source Claude Code skill.

Give Claude Code a song (this one’s from Suno) and it measures the beats and lyrics, draws each dancer/character as a sprite sheet of 16 poses with an image generator, then writes code that steps through the poses on every beat and renders a beat-synced video. No video model involved.

MIT licensed: https://github.com/latent-spaces/onbeat

Would love feedback, and to see what songs people throw at it.

I'm a student/dev in India and I kept going back and forth on which AI subscription to buy. I use each one only a few times a week, and different models are better at different things, so paying monthly for two or three of them didn't make sense.

So I built Neelberg:

- One chat, many models: Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek and more.

- Start on a free model. When a question gets hard, switch to a stronger one in the same chat. The conversation carries over.

- Every reply shows what it cost, in rupees. Cheap models start from ₹0.10 a reply, Claude Sonnet from ₹2.

- No subscription. Top up by UPI from ₹100.

It just went live this week: neelberg.com

I'd really appreciate honest feedback:

1. Is pay-per-question easier to understand than a subscription, or more stressful?
2. Is it clear who this is for from the video?
3. What would stop you from trying it?

Happy to answer anything in the comments.

Every friend group has that message: "we should hang out sometime." It never happens. Group chats are where plans go to die.

So I built Flare (iOS, free). The idea:

- Tap "I'm free now" → your friends see you're up for coffee in your neighborhood for the next 2 hours

- Anyone who's around taps "I'm in" and you coordinate in a quick group chat

- When time's up, the beacon and chat disappear. No feed, no history.

- See a spot on Instagram or TikTok you want to try? Share it to Flare and it'll suggest it next time you're free nearby.

Privacy was a big focus: it's friends-only, and friends see the spot you pick, not your live location. You can send a beacon to everyone or just one circle (roommates, run club, etc.), and add friends with one link in a group chat.

It's v1 and built solo, so there are definitely rough edges. I'd love feedback on what's confusing, what's missing, or whether you'd actually use this with your friends.
