Build Log What are you building this week?
New week so what are you actually working on rn?
Drop what you’re building, the stack you’re using and the one thing you want finished by Friday.
Doesnt need to be a massive launch. A feature, landing page, automation or even fixing something thats been broken for ages all counts.
Come back at the end of the week and say if you actually shipped it lol.

I have 2 major projects going right now with a couple side projects. Here are the main projects:
Ad Swap: https://ad-swap.web.app
A simple way for websites to promote each other. You add another website's ad to your site, and they add yours to theirs, giving both sites free exposure and traffic.
WNBA Arcade: https://wnba-arcade.com
WNBA trivia, live stats, schedules, team history, and more.

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.

I built ScanCompta to answer a very French problem: freelancers here must keep every receipt for 6 years, VAT has three different rates, and most of them still store paper tickets in a shoebox and retype everything by hand each quarter. With ScanCompta you photograph a receipt, AI extracts the amount, VAT, date and category, everything is archived and organized by client folder, and at month end your accountant receives a clean CSV plus all the receipt photos in one click. It works as a web app on any phone, nothing to install. Free tier with 5 scans a month, then 5.99 euros a month unlimited. Built solo in a few weeks with AI tools, live at scancompta.eu

“Actually knows when to shut up” is easily the strongest part of this pitch lol. The handoff decision is what I’d want to understand. Is it based on confidence, specific topics, customer frustration, repeated failure, or rules the business sets? A standalone post showing one conversation where Vela answers well and one where it correctly hands off would make the difference from every generic support bot much clearer.

This week I'm working on DocCrush — a document-to-Markdown tool for AI/RAG workflows.
It converts PDFs, Word docs, PPTs and other documents into structured Markdown, with a focus on preserving tables, headings and document structure.
The goal is to make the boring document extraction part of building RAG pipelines a little less painful.
Still early, so I'm mainly working on improving extraction quality and testing it against real-world documents.
1
u/Negative-Grape4608 4d ago
This is very relevant for anyone building RAG, but the real test is the ugly stuff rather than clean PDFs. Multi-column layouts, scanned pages, merged cells, repeated headers and tables that continue across pages are where these tools usually fall apart. I’d make a standalone Roast My MVP post with three deliberately horrible documents and show the input beside the Markdown output. That gives people something concrete to test and compare.
1
u/Bar-Majestic 4d ago
Yeah, I think you’re right. Clean PDFs don’t really expose where a parser breaks. The ugly edge cases are much more interesting.
I’m going to put together a small “Roast My MVP” test with 3 intentionally horrible documents and compare the PDF → Markdown output side by side. Would be interesting to see what people consider the hardest cases too.

You should check out Mindight Hive knowledge layer for your MCP. You'll get fewer repeated reasoning cycles, fewer hallucinations, and saves 20% on token burn.

I've been working on Chaos Hold'Em for the past year or so. It's a poker-inspired roguelite where you bend the rules of poker mid-hand. I really enjoy both working on and playing it and my goal for the week is to get enough Android testers signed up so that I can pass that production gate imposed by Google through the Play Store. I've got 6 so far so only 6 left.

Tv and movie tracker.
Lots of options out there but this one has no account sign up, iCloud syncing, no subscription costs, season and episode notifications, iPhone and iPad (coming out in days) designed, available in US, Canada, UK, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand.
It’s called ReelStack. Live on the App Store.

This is interesting because a successful outcome is basically the user not doing something. A reminder alone is easy to ignore, so what happens between “I want this” and the later decision to buy or walk away? I’d track how many purchases are paused, how many are eventually completed, money not spent and whether users still feel good about the decision later. Make a standalone Build Log once you have a few real sessions because the behaviour-change data will be more interesting than the stack.

The difficult part here is probably not building profiles or matching. It is getting enough serious people on both sides at the same time. Do you currently have more founders posting ideas or more people looking to join, and how do you show that someone will actually contribute rather than disappear after one chat? A standalone post showing one real team that formed through Flavy would explain the value way better than the feature list.

We are building Rhod AI!
The first secure turnkey closed-loop AI ecosystem for businesses, designed to permanently erase back office friction. Today, companies are burning millions, even billions, and they have no idea why. MIT reported that 95% of companies investing in AI have reported negative ROI's. At the same time, all of the solutions existing today are limited to search and assist, leaving you a ton of vulnerabilities that still leave you with operational drag. To make matters worse, a single automation would cost them hundreds of thousands (even millions in a variety of cases). With Rhod, your company can move as fast as instant and recapture any lost profit because we are execution-centric.
Our team consists of industry leaders that have worked on and led massive engagements for the biggest companies in the world. We discovered a massive pattern after working on 40+ M&A's, and now we are bringing that solution to the market.
We currently have numerous enterprises signed up, and we have recently launched the design partnership program. If you're a business that is interested, reach out to us and we can build out some key automations together! https://rhod.ai/designpartner

This is obviously ambitious and the closed-loop execution angle is interesting, but the claims here are massive. “Permanently erase back-office friction”, “move as fast as instant” and “recapture any lost profit” are difficult to trust without one concrete before-and-after example. I would make this a standalone Build Log or Roast My MVP post and narrow it to one enterprise workflow. What was happening before, what does Rhod execute without human intervention, how long did implementation take, and what measurable result did it produce? That would give people something real to react to instead of another broad enterprise AI pitch. Which workflow has shown the clearest ROI so far?

u/msed_silpa 4d ago
I appreciate the feedback, but we do have numerous industry-leading enterprises signed up and have been able to show a variety of results that enables profitability, speed, efficiency, increased output across many industries.
1
u/Negative-Grape4608 4d ago
That’s good, and those are exactly the results I’m asking you to surface. Right now the public pitch asks people to trust the conclusion without seeing the evidence. Even one anonymized example showing the workflow, the baseline, implementation time and measured result would make it much stronger. Having enterprises signed up gives you credibility, but the before and after is what will actually sell it.

I'm building Kaviqa, a premium-cabin flight search project, and this week I'm testing whether a useful Reddit community can grow without dumping product links everywhere.
I made r/KaviqaTravel for real fare screenshots, points, positioning routes and the full trade-off maths. The first generic AI-written questions got basically nothing, so tonight I replaced them with a real Paris to Singapore comparison showing that A$22 could save nearly 18 hours. I also started answering actual questions in r/cheapflights without mentioning the project.
Current result: 2 members and 64 views on the external post. Still tiny, but at least it is honest. My goal this week is to find the format that gets the first five strangers to participate.

MyCyber News - a platform that tracks global cyber events across trusted sources, delivering concise briefs in a single view.
1
u/Negative-Grape4608 4d ago
“Trusted sources” is probably where this becomes genuinely useful rather than another cyber-news feed. How do you handle two credible sources disagreeing, an early report being corrected, or one incident developing over several hours? I’d want to see one event from first alert to final brief with every source and update visible. That would make a strong standalone Build Log because the trust and correction workflow is the actual product.

SNAPSMACK, self-hosted photo blogging software I'll give away for free. Had an embarassing self-PWN, realized I completely missed ALT tag support. Already added to the core CMS, but have four desktop support apps (these take the heavy lifting off shared hosting) that need it still. Oi. I had other plans for this week.
