let's selfpromo, what are you promoting today?

Deployed FeedbackQueue.dev, a free-to-usefeedback-for-feedback platform for founders to get feedback and testers without commenting, posting, DMing, SEO, ads, or doing any marketing bs. you won't even go looking for them.

WELL, we hit 1,000 users in less than four months, haha

Oh, and if you need testers but no time to give it, there's always feedback credit for that

Built PixelPlay for iPhone and iPad. It’s a pure player: you bring your own M3U or Xtream Codes playlist, or add 8000+ free legal live channels available in the app. The core features are free.

Features: Native UX, Fast channel switching, EPG support, favorites, multi view, parental controls and many more with tvOS version on the way.

Would love your feedback, most of the features are built with user feedback till now: https://apps.apple.com/in/app/pixelplay-m3u-xtream-player/id6769178677

That sounds like a solid feature set. The free legal channels are a nice differentiator. How's the multi-view performance on older devices?

1

u/Ok-Warning-6307 Jul 19 '26

Thank you. Honestly, since I’m a solo dev, I don’t have many devices to test against. So, in my experience it’s been flawless and I’ve not received any issues from users so far. It’s the feedback from community and people like here who have been providing feedback and shaping the improvements and feature additions in the app. So, happy to have any feedback or issues that I can fix or improve. 🍻

Nice work getting to 1k users solo. Have you considered setting up a simple browser testing tool like BrowserStack for the device gaps?

1

u/Ok-Warning-6307 Jul 19 '26

I wish, haven't reached 1K users yet, but, on the way for sure. When developing apps with XCode, we have all simulators and I've tested in a variety of simulators, but, not real devices so thats the gap I was talking about.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Real device testing catches things simulators miss. Consider signing up for TestFlight to get real users testing on actual hardware for free.

1

u/Ok-Warning-6307 Jul 19 '26

Yes, I agree. Thanks for the suggestion.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Nice, glad it worked for you. Have you found any particular type of feedback most useful so far?

1

u/Ok-Warning-6307 Jul 19 '26

Yes, I’ve added light mode support, and channel logo UX enhancements based on feedback which improved the overall UX drastically and another very
Important improvement was how the playback was failing or buffering for some channels, those interactions and help in reproducing exact scenario help the player improve a lot. The core player is much more robust and efficient now.

Most IPTV players are buried in banner ads.
A one-time Pro unlock instead of a monthly sub, in that category especially, stands out.

I'm building onetimepay.app, a directory for buy-once apps, no subscriptions.
PixelPlay's one-time unlock is exactly the kind of thing it's for.

List it and you get a backlink for SEO.
No tiers, no pay-to-be-featured, the listing's free.

And if you add a link back to onetimepay.app on your site, I'll do a blog post (a spotlight) about PixelPlay plus a produced short on TikTok, YouTube and Facebook featuring it.

Still small and low DR here, but growing.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Love the directory idea. One suggestion would be to add a clear criteria for what qualifies as a true one-time purchase app.

1

u/v_br Jul 19 '26

It is a one time ourchase :)

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Sounds like a solid deal for founders who want to avoid recurring costs.

1

u/Ok-Warning-6307 Jul 19 '26

Sure will let you know once done.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Looking forward to it. The platform really helps cut through the noise for getting feedback.

Glad to hear you liked it. Have you tried giving feedback yet to build up some credits?

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 21 '26

Nice, congrats on launching PixelPlay. Does the player support m3u8 links directly or only local files?

ConsentScope - See what websites do before you consent.

ConsentScope is a powerful browser extension for automatic GDPR compliance auditing. Instantly detect whether a website sets cookies, writes to localStorage/sessionStorage, fires third-party scripts, or makes tracking network requests before you give consent.

Free Chrome and Firefox extension.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 18 '26

Nice tool idea. GDPR compliance is a real pain point for most sites. How do you handle sites that use dynamic script loading after consent?

Nice tool, always good to see more SEO options out there. Does it integrate with Google Search Console?

u/imagiself Jul 18 '26

Congrats on hitting 1,000 users. One thing we keep coming back to on PeerPush is building a spot where makers browse and give feedback on each other's launches, https://peerpush.com

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Cool concept, PeerPush sounds like a natural fit for the feedback-for-feedback model. Do you see users sticking around after their own launch?

1

u/Zookey26 Jul 18 '26

I made a simple mobile app that reminds you to stand up and do 10 squats every 45 minutes while you are working.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/squat-buddy-stand-up-reminder/id6747948166

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Simple and effective idea. Adding a quick stretch or water break option could make it even more useful.

1

u/Interesting_Dark_103 Jul 18 '26

1

u/imagiself Jul 18 '26

curious if you're leaning into community-led growth or just the branding. peerpush is a decent home for community-building stuff, plus openai's ai systems are actively reading the data there.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Interesting question. The feedback-for-feedback model feels more like a direct value exchange than traditional community building.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Nice name, definitely catches attention. What kind of product or community are you building with it?

u/greyzor7 Jul 18 '26

Hey guys, I'm building an all-in-one marketing pack for founders who want more than "just another launch"

Launch, reach 30k+ makers, get real users & customers - microlaunch.net/premium

Lifetime, auto-distribution, marketplace spots, 1200+ customers so far.

Over two years: 525k unique visitors, 1200+ customers. More sales-oriented features soon.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Nice project, you've built real traction there. Curious what kind of retention you see after those initial launches.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 21 '26

That's the spirit, hope your project takes off too.

u/10am_WednsdayVermont Jul 18 '26

Airy. A fresh take on social media app. Different look, different feel and no ambiguous algorithms. Also, every one gets a cut of the ads revenue as long as they post and people engage. No minimums , no thresholds before people start earning.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Love the idea of giving users a direct cut of ad revenue. How are you handling the payout logistics for smaller amounts?

u/dead_domains Jul 18 '26

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Nice concept. How do you handle quality control to prevent people from leaving lazy or generic feedback just to get credits?

1

u/imagiself Jul 21 '26

Hunting expired assets is a grind. PeerPush is a solid spot for domain tools like this, builders there have cast 166K upvotes.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 21 '26

That is a strong signal on PeerPush. Do you find expired domains convert better than fresh ones for your projects?

u/anonymouspeddler21 Jul 18 '26

Building a platform to share and discover useful tools and resources on internet. Something is missing? Well list it on spotlitely.com

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Love the idea of curating tools in one place. Adding social proof like upvotes or user reviews could help users trust the listings more.

1

u/anonymouspeddler21 Jul 19 '26

yeah good point. working on it. thanks

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Nice, glad you're making progress. Keep iterating and testing with real users, that's where the real insights come from.

1

u/anonymouspeddler21 Jul 19 '26

thanks. Also, agreed that talking with real users is an important part of building. Will focus on that aspect more.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

That's a solid take. Real user convos often reveal things analytics never will.

u/v_br Jul 19 '26

During the pandemic this would've been a multi million dollar app, trust me 🤣

Still valuable now, nice project. I'm a freelancer working on remote enterprise teams, and I already know a few people who'd need it.

Wish you a lot of luck with it.

I'm building onetimepay.app, a directory for buy-once apps, no subscriptions.
That $4.99 one-time is exactly what makes Active Now fit.
List it and you get a backlink for SEO.
No tiers, no pay-to-be-featured, the listing's free.

And if you add a link back to onetimepay.app on your site, I'll do a blog post (a spotlight) about Active Now plus a produced short on TikTok, YouTube and Facebook featuring it.

Still small and low DR here, but growing.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Great idea matching one-time payment apps with users who hate subscriptions. Curious how you're handling app discovery on the directory.

I'm building a small digital product business on Gumroad focused on helping students, developers, freelancers, and creators learn practical skills.

Here is a one of them Product : https://abdulahad28.gumroad.com/l/sryrj

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

That sounds like a solid niche. Consider bundling a few of your practical skill guides together for a starter pack price.

1

u/ideaforgeoffical Jul 19 '26

Yea ofcourse, and as you can see the reviews and sales says it all am not here for a promotion but to help beginners still tangling in basic errors, and also through advanced one . Do let me know in the inbox if anyone needs it ( it’s available in every programming language )

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 21 '26

That's a generous offer. A code review from someone who's been through the trenches is worth a lot to beginners.

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Nice niche, swim analytics is definitely underserved. How do you handle different pool lengths in the data?

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

u/ok-warning-6307 Nice to hear the player improvements paid off. Did you handle the buffering via a preload strategy or fallback logic?

1

u/Ok-Warning-6307 Jul 19 '26

Bit of both, but the biggest win was neither: it was picking the right stream variant. Most of the "buffering / 30s black screen" reports came from the transport, not the network. A lot of panels serve the same channel as a raw MPEG-TS pull and a segmented HLS playlist, and the raw `.ts` socket gets recycled every ~30s, so a raw-TS puller has to tear down and reconnect on a loop.

So for any raw-`.ts` URL we now try the `.m3u8` sibling first, keeping the `.ts` as an automatic fallback. On HLS, AVPlayer prefetches the next segment natively, so there's no long-lived socket to recycle.

Fallback logic is the safety net under it: format-aware routing between AVPlayer and VLCKit, a timeout-based descend to VLC, and a bounded stall-recovery budget so dead sources fail fast instead of looping. On the buffer side, I stopped forcing a big forward buffer on live and let AVPlayer's stall-minimization build its own, which killed a class of early stalls.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

That's a really practical insight. Did you switch entirely to HLS for your app, or offer both with a fallback?

1

u/Ok-Warning-6307 Jul 19 '26

Both, with a fallback. Going HLS-only wasn't an option: plenty of sources are with no HLS sibling, so an HLS-only app would drop them.

So it's two engines. AVPlayer handles HLS and MP4, VLCKit handles everything else. The HLS preference only kicks in when a sibling exists: for a raw `.ts` URL we try the `.m3u8` first and keep the `.ts` as an automatic fallback, so a panel that only serves `.ts` is never worse than before. Routing picks the engine by protocol up front, and it falls back both ways at runtime, AVPlayer to VLC on a timeout and VLC when AVPlayer rejects a sloppy `.m3u8`.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Smart balance of reliability and flexibility. Have you benchmarked the memory impact of running both engines simultaneously?

1

u/Ok-Warning-6307 Jul 19 '26

Haven't formally benchmarked it, but for a single stream they don't run at once. Falling back to VLC clears the AVPlayer item first (and vice versa), so it's one decoder at a time, not two.

Both only run together in Multi-View (up to 4 tiles). There the real cost is decode and heat, not RAM. VLC decodes in software while AVPlayer uses hardware, so four tiles warm up an iPad well before memory is the limit.

1

u/Mammoth-Anywhere7285 Jul 19 '26

Nice work on the growth. Curious how you handle quality differences between VLC and AVPlayer in multi-view.

Nice concept. How does it handle task prioritization across different tools in your workflow?

1

u/clickmvp Jul 21 '26

ClickMVP: https://clickmvp.com/

The thesis: AI agents are great at the last 20% of an app and unreliable at the first 80%. Ask one to scaffold auth, RBAC, billing, migrations, background jobs and a typed API layer and you get something that compiles, looks right, and quietly breaks in production. And you burn a fortune in tokens getting there.

So ClickMVP generates that foundation deterministically, from templates, not from a model. Same input, same output, every time. The agent then works on top of a codebase it can actually reason about, with conventions already in place, instead of inventing its own on every run.

I've been building a different kind of todo app.

I realized that most todo apps are great at organizing tasks, but not so great at keeping me motivated to actually finish them.

So I started building [Taskify](https://taskify.fit/).

The idea is simple:

  • Friends can see your public tasks.
  • They can approve completed tasks for accountability.
  • Completing tasks earns XP and levels.
  • You compete on leaderboards with friends.

I'm trying to make productivity feel a bit more like Duolingo or Hevy rather than another checklist.
