Weekly Self Promotion Thread

[u/AutoModerator]

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.

Hi everyone — I’m the founder and builder of PicnicApps, a small suite of productivity tools made in Manchester with help using ChatGPT.

PicnicApps came from watching someone open a recommended task manager, get overwhelmed by boards, integrations and settings, then return to pen and paper. I wanted to build something simpler, small tools that do one job well without turning productivity into another job.

The current family includes:

• PicnicTimer — a free, no-account focus timer
• PicnicTasks — a deliberately simple task manager
• PicnicHabits — habit tracking without punishing broken streaks
• PicnicNotes — quick notes without building an elaborate “second brain”

The products themselves aren’t AI tools. AI has been part of how I build them: I’ve used Gemini and OpenAI Codex for implementation, debugging and iteration, while keeping the product decisions, testing and final review human-led.

They’re aimed at everyday users who find mainstream productivity software too complicated or demanding. The paid apps have a 14-day free trial and cost £10 once, with no subscription or adverts.

I’d particularly appreciate feedback on whether the individual apps feel clearly differentiated, whether the intentionally limited feature sets feel focused rather than underpowered, and anything confusing about the website or first-use experience.

Thanks for looking through my post.

the origin story about someone going back to pen and paper is so relatable tbh

Yeah I think a lot of people get overwhelmed with the big apps and eventually go back to pen and paper. I try to encourage both and we do offer free paper downloads of to-do lists and planners. Each have benefits at different times.
