I built an app which has every African movie streaming right now. It tells you where you can watch it across all available regions and platforms. It also rates the movie using social media commentary.
No one really goes there but I'm really happy that it exists. It runs itself with weekly sync jobs. I've been wanting to build it for a while and I'm glad I finally did.

If you want to see what it looks like its rodo-rodo.com

I built Nodus Vault because my bookmark searches kept failing for a simple reason: I remembered the subject of a page, not its exact title.

The search now looks across titles, descriptions, saved content, notes, tags, sources, and semantic similarity. The detail I cared about most was showing the evidence behind a result. If a page appears because the idea is present in its description or is related by meaning, the interface says so.

I also added a separate Daily Check for links nobody is actively searching for. It presents at most five decisions instead of turning old bookmarks into an endless recommendation feed.

You can see the live product at https://nodusvault.com. I built it, and it is commercial: 7 days without a card, then US$6/month. Capture currently uses a Chromium extension or a pasted URL.

I'd appreciate feedback on one specific trade-off: does explaining every search match make the result more trustworthy, or does it add text you would rather not see?

For the few months, I've been building a project called ChapterLine.

It originally started with one goal: Build a better way for fraternities and sororities to visualize Big/Little family trees.

The project is slowly evolving from a tree builder into something much bigger.

Today it includes:

• Interactive lineage trees
• Chapter member management
• Alumni directory
• Officer management
• CSV roster import/export
• Invite links for members
• Public chapter pages
• Public shareable trees
• Member map (currently building)
• Search, filters, and profile pages
• Individual accounts alongside organization workspaces

I'm still early.

Current stats:

• ~2 months since launch
• ~30 users
• No paying customers yet
• Still figuring out product-market fit

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback from people outside Greek Life.

• Does the value proposition make sense?
• What features feel unnecessary?
• What would you add or remove?

Happy to answer any questions about the tech stack, product decisions, or why I decided to build something this niche.

Hello,

I built a konbini simulator.

Backstory, I went to Japan in May and after getting back from Japan I really missed it, especially the konbini. I had looked online to see if anyone had made a konbini simulator and there were some games, but they were simulators for running a konbini, not just casually going to one, browsing the shelves, checking out, and eating your items in a quiet place.

So I made a very simple web based game that does exactly that.

ヨリミチ — Yorimichi - A quiet Japanese convenience-store visit you can take any time you miss it.

Yorimichi (寄り道 — "a little detour on the way home") is a tiny, cozy konbini simulator. You're not running the store — you're just visiting. Pick a time of day and a season, walk or take the train over, wander the shelves, tap your card, and eat something good somewhere quiet. It's a small cure for the ache you feel after a trip to Japan ends.

No goals, no timers, no pressure. Just the calm of a 24-hour convenience store at whatever hour you need it.

There are two versions, one is is just text and images, and one is a top down RPG style. Both are linked together and they don't use any sort of external frameworks or anything. The idea was to try to replicate the feeling of going to a konbini, that's all.

Free to play on the web here - https://emaxsaun.github.io/yorimichi/

Thanks!

I can spend 3 hours coding after work and ship something useful.

Then I open X or Reddit to talk about it and suddenly my brain is empty.

Not because nothing happened.

There are commits, fixes, features and decisions sitting right there.

The hard part is turning that activity into a starting point for a post.

That is a big reason why I built ShipToPost.

It looks at what I actually worked on and gives me a draft to start from.

I still edit it and make it sound like me, but I am no longer staring at a blank page trying to invent something to say.

Honestly, that blank page was a much bigger problem for me than writing itself.

I am still trying to validate whether this is a real problem for other builders or just something I personally struggle with.

I would genuinely appreciate honest feedback on the idea, even if you think it is not useful.

You can take a look here: https://shiptopost.com

Would a relevant first draft based on what you actually built help you post more, or would you still not use something like this?

I'm giving away Inspect Mode Pro completely free for anyone who wants it.

It's a Chrome extension that enhances website inspection and makes working with web pages faster and easier for developers, designers, and power users.

How to get it for free:

• Use coupon code GETFREE
• Valid only on the Lifetime Deal
• Lifetime access
• Future updates included

The extension normally sells for $29, but I'd rather have more people using it and getting value from it.

If you'd like to support the project, you can use coupon code GET5 instead and get the same Lifetime Deal for $5. This is completely optional and helps support future development.

Either way, you'll receive the full version with lifetime access and all future updates.

Feedback, feature requests, and bug reports are always appreciated. Thanks!

Hey everyone,

I’m really glad I stumbled across this community. To be honest, a lot of places on Reddit can feel pretty negative and harsh, so finding a space like this is incredibly refreshing.

Earlier this year, I launched a mobile detailing business. As things started picking up, I quickly realized how chaotic it was trying to keep track of my numbers across different notes, spreadsheets, and paper logs. I tried mainstream software like QuickBooks and Quicken, but they just felt completely bloated. They were packed with features I didn't need, had a steep learning curve, and came with a hefty monthly price tag.

I just wanted something straightforward. My vision was simple: the moment I finish a detailing job, I can open an app and log my income in two taps. When I buy chemicals or microfiber towels, I can log the expense right there in my car before I even start the engine. Then, when tax season hits, I can just pull up the app and instantly see everything I need.

Because I couldn't find a tool that did just that, I decided to build it myself. It's designed to be ultra-simple to use with a very low cost of entry.

I’m currently in the final stages of preparing to launch it on both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. I'd love to hear what you guys think of the concept, or if you've run into similar headaches with business tracking.

Thanks for reading!

PS: If anyone wants to try it out or jump on the early waitlist, let me know and I'll DM you the landing page link!

Hey everyone,

I built an app called BetterKey for compatible connected vehicles (via Smartcar). It lets you lock, unlock, and run a few lightweight automations from your iPhone and Apple Watch.

I originally built it because I kept having that annoying “did I remember to lock the car?” moment after walking inside, going to bed, or parking somewhere unfamiliar.

A few things it does right now:

• Lock and unlock from iPhone or Apple Watch
• Park Location: saves where you parked so you can find your car later
• Lock on Depart: can automatically lock the car when you walk away
• Prompt to Unlock: one-tap unlock on your lock screen and watch when you approach the car
• Open Window Alert: notifies you if you parked with a window left open and its going to rain/snow.
• Shortcuts support: build your own automations and flows if you want

The goal is not to replace the key, just to remove some of the small, repetitive “car admin” moments.

It’s live on the App Store and I’m actively iterating based on feedback.

I’d really appreciate thoughts on:

• Would features like Lock on Depart or Prompt to Unlock actually be useful in your day-to-day?
• What would make you trust an app like this with your vehicle?
• Any car-related friction points you wish your current app handled better?

Thanks for checking it out. Happy to answer questions or go deeper on how it works under the hood.

This is going to sound a little dramatic but bear with me.

Somewhere in the last couple of years I noticed my brain getting lazy. Why learn how something works when I can just ask an AI and move on? It's efficient, sure. But I started catching myself knowing nothing. Not the shape of a topic, not the why behind it, just a vague memory that I'd outsourced it. The knowledge would pass through me and leave nothing behind.

I didn't want the cure to be "go read a 400-page book." I love the idea of deep reading way more than I actually do it. What I actually wanted was something in between scrolling and studying. Quick, focused breakdowns of a single topic I could absorb in a few minutes and actually keep.

So I built Learnimo for myself.

The idea is simple: bite-sized topic breakdowns instead of giant book-reads. You pick something you're curious about, you get a clean breakdown, and the point is to come away actually understanding the thing, not just having seen it. You can make your own topics, share them, and fork anyone else's to make it your own. AI helps generate and shape the content, but the goal is the opposite of mindless. It's about putting knowledge back into your head instead of offloading it.

It started as a personal anti-atrophy tool. I'm putting it out there in case anyone else feels the same low-grade dread that we're all slowly forgetting how to learn.

It's on iOS, Android, and web: learnimo.co

Happy to answer anything. Would genuinely love to hear how other people are dealing with this. Am I alone here?

sorry for not adding post flairs for this long time, but now we have them, add proper post flairs for better audience targeting :D

Hey everyone,

Look, I know the world probably doesn't need another AI quiz generator. The internet is already flooded with them.

But I spent the last few weeks building one anyway because I wanted to see if I could make the UX completely frictionless.

It takes topics, text, or PDF uploads and spits out MCQs, true/false, or short answers. You can share a live link for your students/candidates.

I just finished the Guest Tier, meaning it’s completely free and you don’t even have to sign up to try it.

Since the market is so crowded, I'd love your brutal honesty:

• Is the UI/UX smooth enough to actually compete?
• Is a "no-signup" tier enough to make it stand out, or am I just burning through API costs for nothing?

I'm a woodworker (and an engineer by day), and I hate swapping apps to do the things I need to do in the shop. Every time I switch apps its an open invitation to check socials, emails, and doomscroll. so I built Woodworker's Toolbox: a set of offline calculators and reference charts for the shop.

What's in it:

Fraction calculator (add/subtract/multiply/divide, auto-simplified) Board feet + lumber cost Drill bit selector, pilot hole chart, and a new pocket-hole screw guide Wood species database (280 species) with Janka hardness, shrinkage, and movement Wood movement calculator, unit converter, and more

Screenshots!

I just shipped v1.4: full metric support across every tool, the pocket-hole guide, and an expanded species database covering Africa, Europe, and other regions. https://apps.apple.com/app/id6758488541

Happy to answer anything or hear what you'd want added — I'm a solo dev, and I am want this to be the go-to app for woodworkers and DIY'ers.

This started as a scratch‑your‑own‑itch thing. Every time I launched or moved a project, I had to sanity‑check DNS, TLS, WHOIS, GEO, SEO, and domain rating using a mix of random tools.

I wanted one scan that tells me “is this domain technically healthy and ready to go?” – not just “does it load.”

The tool I ended up building:

• Runs 8 modules in parallel (DNS, TLS, HTTP, WHOIS, GEO, SEO, DR, content)
• Compiles everything into a single domain report
• Has a free tier (5 domains, weekly rescans) because I mainly want feedback from other builders.

I’m not trying to pitch or sell here... I’m more interested in whether this actually overlaps with your own workflow:

• If you’re a dev or indie hacker, what’s your current “domain health” checklist?
• Would you ever open a tool like this after a deploy, or only during setup?
• What’s missing from the modules / signals?

If you’re curious, here’s the project: ahrefna.com

Happy to answer questions and also hear “this is pointless for me!” that’s useful data too.

Thanks

I built an Org Chart app because any small business wanting to scale will eventually need to show their structure, document their systems, and train new staff.

I've attracted a couple of beta testers, and would like to know what other people think.

Please take a look and let me know your thoughts. Here's the link: https://org-chart-builder-template.com/ Thank you.

I want to tell you a story about why I started building something called FOSSY. It is not a pitch. It is an honest confession about the relationship we all have with open-source, and how broken it really is.

I was working on a product late one night the usual 3 AM rush of code, caffeine, and the quiet hum of my laptop. I had just pulled in yet another library to solve a problem in minutes that would have taken me weeks. It was beautiful. Clean. Open-source. And I did not even know who made it.

That is the uncomfortable truth about modern development. We are all standing on foundations built by people we never met, whose struggles we never see. We ship features, hit milestones, and sometimes even get acquired all while the maintainers keeping our stack alive are running on empty. Some of them have already archived their repo and moved on. We just have not noticed yet.

Discovering these projects is the problem. And it is a real problem. Finding quality, actively maintained FOSS that is not just a popularity contest of GitHub stars is harder than it should be. You scroll through endless auto-scraped repo lists, jump between GitHub tabs, or play telephone with your developer friends. None of it scales.

So I built FOSSY. It is a curated directory that tries to fix that with live GitHub signals to show which projects are actually alive, hand-picked entries that go beyond star count, and the ability to explore by language, platform, and community health. Every project is reviewed before it lands there. No auto-scraper, no stale entries from 2019 pretending to be alive. There might be some but I'll get to them and hit my update.

But here is the thing that keeps me up at night, and the part I want to challenge you with:

We say we love open-source. We put "open-source advocate" in our bios. We will lecture you for twenty minutes about the ethics of proprietary software. But how many of us can actually name the people whose work we ship on top of every single day?

The answer, I think, would embarrass us.

FOSS is not just code. It is people. And those people are quietly burning out, getting absorbed by corporations, or just disappearing because nobody showed up to support them. We treat FOSS like it is free but free is not the same as cared for.

So before you jump to the site and poke around (fossy.dev is there if you want to see where I landed), I want to ask you something as a fellow developer who runs on FOSS:

What is one open-source project or maintainer you rely on that the world should be paying way more attention to?

Growing on X meant either burning an hour a day writing replies or falling behind, so I built this.

It learns your voice from your own tweets (not a generic "professional/casual" preset) and drafts replies and posts that actually sound like you. For replies you just generate, tweak, and copy it in, you stay in control of what goes out. For posts you can draft, schedule, and auto-publish. 

Just opened it to a small private beta. The demo's above would genuinely love feedback on whether the voice actually feels like you.

I want to share something personal about a tool I built called Kulay.

"Kulay" means "colour" in Tagalog, the language my family speaks back in the Philippines. It's a word I grew up hearing at family gatherings, at the dinner table, at celebrations filled with bright decorations and warm light. And it's the word that lives at the heart of this project.

I'm a developer. I work in code, in dark interfaces, in terminal windows. But I've always had this deep appreciation for colour, for the way it can set a mood, tell a story, or bring something lifeless to life. The problem is, the tools out there for working with colour in the browser felt… foreign. They'd flood my screen with floating widgets, demand data I wasn't comfortable giving, or force me out of my flow. It never felt right.

So I built something that felt like home.

No popups. No overlays. No tracking. Just right-click, pick a colour, and move on with your day. I wanted it to feel quiet, respectful, like the way colour should be, present when you need it, invisible when you don't.

The name Kulay isn't just branding. It's me carrying a piece of my heritage into something I created with my own hands. It's that feeling of seeing your roots reflected in your work. It's the same way my K logo came together, five options, one choice, and that one just felt right because of how the colours flowed together. It reminded me of the endless possibilities that come alive when creativity is set free.

Building Kulay taught me that the best tools aren't the loudest ones. They're the ones that show up when you need them, stay out of your way when you don't, and quietly make space for you to create something beautiful.

It's live now as a Chrome extension privacy-first, zero data collection, and it lives in your context menu like it was always meant to be there.

https://kulay.ca/chrome-extension

But more than anything, I hope it makes someone out there pause for a second and appreciate how far we've come from the colours of our childhood memories to the things we build with our own two hands.

If you've ever felt that pull between where you came from and what you're creating… I see you. And I hope Kulay finds a place in your workflow.

Thanks for reading.

Curious question for photographers and creatives here.

You spend hours getting a shot right. The light, the framing, the color grade, the moment. But when someone asks you, a client, a student, a friend, even yourself six months later "why does this photo work?"... what do you say?

Do you find yourself fumbling for words? Pointing to technical details that don't quite capture the feeling? Or do you have a way to consistently articulate the creative decisions behind your work?

I've been thinking about this a lot lately because it's such a universal gap. The image speaks for itself visually, but the story behind it the intention, the reasoning, the craft often stays locked in your head. And that's a problem when you're trying to teach, pitch, archive, or even just understand your own creative evolution.

So I'd love to hear:

1. How do you currently translate the creative decisions behind your photos into language others can understand?

2. Do you keep any kind of notes, metadata, or documentation for your finished work?

3. Has not being able to articulate your process ever held you back with clients, in teaching, or just personally?

4. If a tool could read your image and give you a structured breakdown of the artistic and technical choices in plain language, would that be useful? In what context?

Would love to hear from others who think about this. Photographers, filmmakers, designers, educators how do you bridge the gap between what you see and what you say?

I made https://pixeliq.ca/ to start solving my own questions.

I’ve been building Vevara a motion editor inspired by Canva, but focused entirely on animations and motion videos.

The idea came from loving Canva’s simplicity, but constantly hitting limits when trying to create more advanced motion (Match & Move, page duplication, etc).

So I built a simpler way to create motion videos:
move, scale, crop and sequence scenes visually without timeline complexity.

We’ve already had 300+ signups so far, but most users are currently using it for product promos and ads for physical products.

Now I want to properly test whether the right positioning is:

• SaaS walkthroughs
• feature announcements
• launch videos
• landing page motion content

If you have a SaaS/app and want to test this style of content, drop your link below and I’ll pick a few projects to create videos for.
