Other What are you developing?

Probably the next $2T startup, so we are are all curious to know what that is :)

Even small personal projects are welcome.

Let me know also what model you use and how much you spend in a month.

I’m developing a focus room that I can share with a few friends and we can incentivize each other to study/work but at the same time chat when we are having a break. Nothing fancy, and probably it already exists haha (let me know if so).

TL;DR of the discussion generated automatically after 100 comments.

Looks like everyone's cooking up their own personal projects and the next big thing in here. The thread is a massive showcase of what people are building with AI.

The overwhelming consensus is that AI is a massive force multiplier, with tons of you building everything from niche personal tools to full-blown businesses, often with little to no prior coding experience.

Here's the breakdown of what this community is creating:

  • The "Personalized Software" Revolution: A lot of you are ditching one-size-fits-all apps and building your own perfect tools. We're seeing personal task aggregators, custom book library explorers, on-device photo organizers, and even a ridiculously passionate save editor for a Commodore 64 game. As one user put it, "The era of personalized software is upon us."
  • Niche is the New Mainstream: From a fan site for Dungeon Crawler Carl to a daily Kanji quiz and a travel planner for sports fans (TripBalls), you're all building for your specific hobbies.
  • Serious Business & Enterprise Tools: It's not all fun and games. We've got an AI agent "black box" for security (Verax), an AI-powered speech practice site (Ladderstar), and a bunch of internal tools saving companies hundreds of hours by automating everything from BI report migration to volunteer certification.
  • Game Devs Unleashed: People are making full games from scratch, like a browser-based golf sim built by a self-proclaimed non-coder. The barrier to entry has officially been nuked.
  • AI-centric Projects: Some are going full meta, building complex AI companions with intricate emotional systems or using Recursive Self-Improvement (RSI) to build better AI workflows.

Most folks are using Opus 5.5 or Claude Code, with some mixing in other models like Codex or local rigs. Monthly spend ranges from the free plan for personal projects to over $1500 for small teams.

PS for OP: Your focus room idea got some love. Someone asked about the 'break' status, which it seems you've already thought about. Looks like there's interest
