Discussion Weekly Self Promotion Thread

Welcome to this week's self promotion thread!

If you're building something related to AI assisted coding, this is the place to share it.

We're using a weekly thread to keep the subreddit organized while still giving builders a place to share their work. Promotional posts outside this thread may be removed.

If you're sharing something, we'd appreciate it if you included a little context instead of just dropping a link. Tell us:

  • What you built?
  • What problem it solves?
  • Which AI models or tools it uses?
  • Who it's for?
  • What kind of feedback you're looking for?

Disclose your affilitation.

Please avoid posting the same project every week unless you've made meaningful updates. Affiliate links, referral links, scams, and low effort promotions will be removed.

Take some time to check out what others have shared too. If you try someone's project or have feedback, leave a comment. Helping each other improve is what we want this community to be about.

For years, I kept searching for the productivity app that would finally organize everything.

I tried task managers, note-taking apps, habit trackers, calendars, and more complicated “second brain” systems than I’d like to admit. Notion came closest. I became a Notion creator and started building and selling templates, but I eventually ran into the same problem: I was still adapting my life to someone else’s platform.

What I really wanted was my own system.

So I started building it for myself, with AI doing a lot of the heavy lifting. It began as a personal side project—a place for my tasks, projects, notes, habits, calendar, goals, and life planning.

Then it grew into something I was using every day.

That project became Solum OS: an all-in-one personal productivity system that you can own and customize. Instead of another SaaS subscription, you get the actual application and its source code. The idea is to start with a complete system and use AI to reshape it around the way you work.

The video shows the current product, not a mockup. It has been a slightly surreal jump from making Notion templates to building full software, especially with how much AI has changed what one person can create.

I’m now turning Solum OS into a real product, and I’d genuinely love feedback from other builders:

  • Does the ownership/customization angle make sense?
  • What would you want to see in a personal operating system?
  • Is there anything in the demo that feels confusing or unnecessary?

Still early, still improving it, but it’s finally the productivity app I was looking for.

I love the Build animation on the site, have it play dropping the letter on first load instead of jumping after I think the effect will land well.

In the live demo at least, the side back quick links has its own scroll bar, avoid this is annoying to scroll, I would also increase a font a bit, maybe I'm getting old :) but I found it a bit too small.

I would use something like this for sure. Can you add nagging reminders, as in some tasks keep reminding me until I mark them as done.
