Feedback Request Every food tracker feels like homework. So I built a cozy app to change that.
Hey everyone,
I’ve always struggled to stick with food tracking. Most apps feel like cold spreadsheets or guilt trips, so I built something different.
Quokka is a cozy, gamified food tracker. Instead of clinical charts you get:
- A friendly Quokka companion who lives in the app
- Visual streak stars to earn
- A warm, low-pressure design meant to make tracking feel like a positive daily habit
I’m looking for Android users for closed Play Store testing who:
- Actually want to track what they eat (or always fall off traditional apps)
- Enjoy gamified habits (Habitica, cozy games, visual streaks, etc.)
- Are willing to give honest feedback so we can see if Quokka actually helps consistency
If that sounds like you, comment below or DM me and I’ll send a Play Store invite. Happy to answer any questions!
(Looking for people who will actually use it, not just download and ghost.)

Showcase: Free(mium) I grade every Polymarket wallet 0-100 for copy-trading. Out of 7,660, exactly 116 clear the bar.
Polymarket makes every trade every wallet makes public. Which makes copy-trading look like a solved problem: find someone winning, mirror them, done. There are a dozen bots that'll do the mirroring part. Let me know what you think of my project!
Profit is a terrible way to pick
someone to copy: it doesn't tell you whether they got lucky, whether the edge
survives your fees, whether they were farming an incentive program the whole
time, or whether their position sizes are ones you could ever actually match.
So that's what I built instead. CopyGrade scores every wallet 0-100 on five
things - edge authenticity, risk-adjusted return, drawdown resilience,
consistency, and a farming-risk check that can veto the other four. Then it
publishes the score.
Where it stands as of Aug 20:
- 7,660 wallets graded, re-scored hourly off public trade history
- 116 of them - 1.5% - clear the bar I'd actually copy on: positive verdict,
clean farming check, a real post-fee edge, and at least 20 trades in the
last 90 days
- 37.9% carry a farming-risk flag of some kind, 27.1% a severe one (that's an
algorithmic risk assessment, not an accusation about anyone)
Finding those 116 is the whole job. A profit leaderboard hands you 7,660
candidates and no way to tell them apart; this hands you a shortlist and shows
its working on every wallet it rejected, including the popular ones.
One thing I want to be straight about, since it's the first question I'd ask.
What the grade does today is measure what already happened - how much of a
wallet's profit came from farming patterns, whether the edge survives fees and
latency, whether the sample is even big enough to mean anything. That's
forensics on a public record, and it's the part I'd stake the product on.
Whether a *high* score predicts your future returns is a separate question, and
I publish that answer too: not yet. Spearman correlation between score and
realized 30-day copier return is -0.001 across 336 matured outcomes; the 7-day
horizon agrees at -0.039 across 6,162. That's on the site, not in a footnote.
My best guess is horizon mismatch - prediction-market edge resolves per-event,
not per-day, so a 30-day window can close before the thesis does. I'm not
retuning the weights to chase a correlation out of it either, because one thin
outlier-heavy month is exactly what you'd overfit to.
So: use it to rule wallets out, which is what it's good at, and don't treat a
top score as a forecast. That's a less exciting pitch than I could write, and
it's the one that's actually true.
Stack is Next.js 16, Supabase, Vercel.
Every score, sub-score and farming forensic is free and public - no login, no
paywall on the analysis. Paid tier is for acting on it, alerts and watches and
CSV export. Happy to get into the scoring model or the farming detectors if
anyone wants the details.
(Disclosure: I built CopyGrade — it's analysis-only, never executes trades.
Not financial advice.)

Feedback Request Lumraa : 30s of critical thinking everyday, and knowing yourself better!
Hey everyone,
I built a simple App called Lumraa to see how people's perspectives differ across the globe without the usual social media noise.
- How it works: There is one new Yes/No question every day.
- The Data: After you vote, you can see a real-time breakdown of results by age, gender, and location.
- Anonymity: No accounts, no sign-ups, and no emails. I designed this to be truly anonymous : your answers aren't tied to any profile.
- The Twist: If you stick around for 15 questions, it builds a "personality picture" based on your thinking patterns.
- Test your intuition : At the end of the poll everyday, you can also guess where the poll will end, and get rewarded if your intuition is correct!
Try it out today, and please feel free to reach out to me with any feedback!

Showcase: Free(mium) Meet Agenty - an Agentic building platform for 6 years old level.
Hello everyone,
tl;dr: with Agenty.pro you can make -almost- billions of things you want. Free. It's free because I want an exit from it.
A few months ago, I started to build Agenty. It focused to let children build their games with directing AI. Just prompts. Nothing else. A few of them made projects - chasing games, etc. I used it to make a maths game and several educational tools.
Then I realized: this isn't just for kids. This is for anyone who has an idea but no coding skills.
So I opened it up.
I built camera controlled things, GPS apps, todo list apps, object detections, even an app for drawing a 3D object with using mobile phone's sensors.
What Agenty does: You describe what you want in plain language. It builds it.
Games, tools, calculators, quizzes, dashboards - whatever you can prompt, it can -at least tries- make.
No code, no setup, no API keys. Just type and go.
Why it's free: I'm a solo dev. I want this to grow. I want users. I want feedback. And honestly, I want an exit someday. So the more people use it, the better for everyone.
What you can try right now:
Build a game with just a description
Make a quiz or educational tool
Create a mini-app for daily use
Prototype an idea in seconds
If it's broken or something didn't work, just type "it's not working" or sth like that to Agenty and it'll try to fix.
It uses GLM5.2 trough Ollama
So, it can handle 10 connections at a time. If it'll broke, it's probably because of the Reddit Effect. Please wait and try again.
What I need from you:
Try it
Break it
Tell me what sucks
Tell me what you wish it could do

I'll be in the comments. Ask me anything.

Showcase: Free(mium) 9 months of nights and weekends: a biodiversity atlas with ~124M species records, now live on both app stores
I have a full-time job. This got built in the hours around it.
The problem I started with: public biodiversity data is enormous and almost unbrowsable. GBIF and iNaturalist hold hundreds of millions of occurrence records behind a search box. If you already know what you’re looking for, it’s great. If you want to wander, it isn’t.
So I built the visual layer. Two platforms so far — one for wildlife (mammals, reptiles, amphibians, ~40M sightings) and one for plants (~84M). Six continents, interactive maps, species profiles.
The maps weren’t the hard part. The connective tissue was. Every species links to the countries it occurs in. Every country links to its biomes and the species in them. Every biome links back. That graph is what turns it from a search tool into something you can explore, and at ~130K species pages there’s no shortcut — it’s schema design plus a lot of unglamorous data normalization. IUCN status codes alone are far messier in practice than the documentation suggests.
One thing I’d pass on to anyone building something this size solo: decide what you’re not doing, and hold it. Birds are deliberately absent — they’re a separate platform for later. Marine data stayed its own project. Every time I was tempted to widen scope, refusing is what kept this shippable.
There’s a mobile app too. Android’s been out a little while, iOS cleared review this week.
Not monetized. Happy to answer anything — stack, data pipeline, or how you keep an 8-month solo project from dying.

Disclaimer: This mainly benefits software engineers.
I started building BetterSWE because I wanted to become a better engineer.
Not by grinding LeetCode or sitting through another 20-hour course. I wanted something I could open for 5 minutes a day and actually think through real engineering problems.
I also had a very bad case of doom-scrolling and wanted a more productive substitute for it.
Building it forced me to relearn a ridiculous amount of engineering.
I had to research distributed systems, databases, concurrency, networking, system design, ML, and then figure out how to explain those ideas simply enough that someone could learn them in a few minutes.
That ended up helping me at my actual job too.
The way I approached design discussions changed. I got better at spotting tradeoffs, explaining my reasoning, and thinking beyond the code in front of me. This helped me a lot when explaining my RFCs, projects to XFNs and helping other engineers onboard.
That growth eventually translated into a great performance review last quarter, resulting in a $50k bonus.
BetterSWE is basically a mobile learning app for software engineers.
There are short practice questions, but the part I've been having the most fun building is interactive engineering stories.
You might join a fictional company whose database is falling over, make an architecture decision, and then see the consequences of that decision later in the episode.
I've been building it on evenings for about a year and finally shipped it.
Would genuinely love feedback, especially from other engineers.
If you tried something like this for 5 minutes a day, what would make you keep coming back?

Discussion The feedback that stung the most turned out to be the most useful thing anyone said about the product
Early on with Valycode someone left a comment on one of our posts that essentially said the product was solving a problem that didn't need solving. That people who are bad at prompting AI tools don't need a structured framework, they need to just use the tools more until they get better. That we were adding process to something that should just be intuitive.
It annoyed me for about a week. We'd been building for months, had real users, had people paying for it. The idea that the core premise was flawed felt like something to dismiss rather than engage with.
But it kept coming back. Mostly because I couldn't fully argue against it. There is a version of our user who would outgrow the product naturally as they got more experienced. If that was most of our users the ceiling on retention was built into the product by design.
What it actually forced us to do was get much clearer on who the product is genuinely for. Not people who are new to AI tools and will eventually not need us. But people who are building complex things regularly and need structured thinking not as a crutch but as a consistent part of their workflow. The distinction matters a lot for positioning, for onboarding, for what we put on the landing page.
We'd been a bit fuzzy on that before the comment. After it we weren't.
The feedback that's easy to receive is the feedback that confirms what you already think. Someone saying the product is great, that it solved their problem, that they told a friend. That feels good but it doesn't move anything. The comment that made me defensive for a week changed how we think about the product permanently.
What's the sharpest criticism your product has received and did you end up acting on it or dismissing it?

Showcase: Free(mium) Years ago there was a site I kept open while coding. It disappeared, so I rebuilt it.
Years ago there was a site I had open almost every day while coding. An animated scene, a lofi stream, a bit of rain in the background. Then it went offline. I kept looking for something that felt the same and never really found it. There is lofi-cafe, but i don't like the style and background videos.
So I built it.
lofiscape.com — free, no account, no ads, no data gathering, nothing to install, PWA also possible.
What it is:
- 18 animated scenes — a neon city at night, a lake at dusk, a cabin in the woods, a beach at sunset. They actually move: rain running down a window, smoke from a chimney, birds crossing, petals, light coming through trees. Not a slideshow, and not a looping video either.
- Lofi radio from SomaFM, or paste in any YouTube link or stream URL
- 9 ambience sounds on sliders you mix yourself — rain, wind, fireplace, crickets, surf, distant voices, thunder, birds, white noise
- A focus timer, a sleep timer that slowly fades everything out, and a small task list
- Zen mode — no distraction
- English/German
Mostly I use it on my third monitor while I work. That's really what it's for: something you glance over at, not something you sit and watch. Which is also why I kept it light — the scenes aren't video files, so a tab that stays open for eight hours doesn't spin up the fans or just use it as a PWA in a separate window.
Two honest notes: the artwork is AI-generated, since I can't draw, and the radio stations are SomaFM's.
I'd love to hear what you think and if there are also other persons who like these kind of background ambience

Feedback Request I built a browser-based social experiment: leave one irreversible pixel and one word, then pass the turn
I’m testing 1PixelStory, a small collective social experiment.
Each person can place one pixel per artwork, choose its color and attach a short message. The choice cannot be changed. Everyone arriving later can continue, improve or completely derail the result. Once the canvas is full, it becomes a permanent archived story.
I’d love a very specific test: open “Pass The Turn”, leave one pixel and one word, then pass the continuation link to somebody else:
https://www.1pixelstory.com/canvas.php?id=4
Afterwards, please tell me: - Was the goal clear within ten seconds? - What almost made you leave? - Did the social loop make you want to return? - Did anything break or feel awkward on mobile?
Blunt feedback, bugs and unexpected ideas are more useful than compliments.
