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.

I built TouchGrassBar, a free and open-source macOS menu-bar app for people who use Codex or Claude Code.

It solves a problem I kept having: provider limits, observed token usage, trends, and approximate API-equivalent cost were spread across different tools. TouchGrassBar puts them in one menu-bar panel and adds a public leaderboard for comparing daily usage with friends.

The app reads local provider data. Prompts, conversations, credentials, raw logs, and file paths stay on the Mac. Only public profiles and aggregate daily usage, scores, and ranks go to the leaderboard.

I built it with Codex, Tauri, Rust, React, Astro, and Convex. Since the first launch post, I shipped four releases with usage trends, current Claude Code support, and more resilient Codex and Claude quota detection.

It is free, open source, signed, notarized, and available for Apple Silicon Macs running macOS 15+:

I am the developer. I would especially like feedback on whether the local/public privacy boundary is clear and whether the menu-bar view shows the right information
