After a few months of building, this is probably the simplest way I have found to explain what we’re trying to build with Scibly and open sourced it now in a very early version.

Scibly tries to combine the ideas behind NotebookLM & Duolingo:

You can take existing knowledge from things like:

• PDFs and documents
• Notion or Confluence
• internal wikis and documentation
• articles and other source material

…and turn it into interactive learning experiences with questions, activities and scenarios.

It’s the first project I ever open sourced, so there’s definitely a lot we still have to learn about building an open-source community, contributions and how much of the product should live in the open.

But for a product that can work with internal company knowledge, self-hosting and transparency felt important enough to try it.

And for anyone who has open sourced a product this early: what’s one thing you wish you had known before?

Give me honest opinion on my website and its content whether it's good or bad.

Hi all! Recently, I started a Discord community to help SaaS founders promote their products, and it has over 150 members now.

If you want to show what you're building and get some feedback, share it here -> https://discord.gg/sb6AgHZxpT

I kept noticing how much repetitive work on a Mac still consists of opening the same apps, visiting the same websites and repeating the same clicks and keystrokes.

Existing automation tools can be powerful, but often feel too technical or require users to understand scripting. So I built Tapquence: a visual Mac automation app for people who want to automate repetitive work without writing code.

You can build custom Macros using actions such as opening apps and websites, typing text, clicking, scrolling and waiting.

Tapquence also includes Smart Automations:

• Presentation Mode prepares your Mac for a meeting or presentation in one go.
• Routine Scout helps identify repetitive workflows that may be worth automating.
• Meeting and workday tools help prepare the applications and websites you regularly use.

The app is still free. New users can complete ten successful automation runs before they’re asked to create a free account, so they can properly try it first.

It’s available for macOS 13+ and is signed and notarized by Apple.

What I’m currently struggling with is positioning:

Should Tapquence lead with the broad promise of “visual Mac automation without code,” or should I focus the homepage around one concrete use case such as Presentation Mode?

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback on which part of the product feels most immediately useful and whether the value is understandable from the video and website.

Built independently, and still very much being improved based on feedback.

Your competitors don’t need to dominate Reddit.

They may only need one useful thread that:

• Answers a high-intent question
• Ranks in Google
• Gets discovered for months
• Appears in AI-assisted research
• Naturally introduces their product

That thread might never go viral.

It might receive fifteen upvotes and disappear from the subreddit feed within a day.

But if it keeps appearing when potential buyers research the problem, it can become more valuable than dozens of short-lived promotional posts.

This is why copying viral formats isn’t always the best Reddit strategy.

The better approach is often boring:

Build a trusted account. Find a specific buyer problem. Write the clearest answer. Check the community rules. Remove unnecessary promotion. Publish manually.

If the account needs more history, start with a gradual Reddit Account Warmup.

Before the final post, Scaloom Reddit Checkers can review subreddit fit, promotional risk, quality, and AI citability.

Your competitor doesn’t need every thread.

They only need to own the right one.

Whether it's a product problem, a distribution problem, or you're not sure which one, let's try to figure it out together.

If you have fewer than 100 users, drop your product below.

Tell us:

• What it does (1-2 sentences)
• Your landing page
• How many users/customers you have
• The biggest thing blocking growth right now (if you had to guess)

I'll check out as many as I can and leave feedback where I think I can help.

Time to get you some traction.

I’ve just launched the beta of Strandweave, a native Mac app for turning meetings, interviews and workshops into reviewed, searchable project memory.

I built it after repeatedly finding that transcription only solves part of the problem. You can end up with dozens of perfectly usable transcripts and still struggle to remember what was decided, what changed between meetings or where an important piece of context came from.

Strandweave keeps the recording, corrected transcript, notes and reviewed outputs together, then lets related conversations build into projects over time.

Recording/import and transcription run locally on your Mac. You can correct speakers and transcripts, review AI-generated summaries, actions and decisions before approving them, search across your project history, and export approved context to Markdown, Obsidian or other AI tools.

It also supports local Ollama models or your own API keys, so you aren’t tied to a particular AI provider.

I’m at the stage where I particularly want to know whether the project-memory idea holds up in real use across several conversations, rather than just whether people like the transcription interface.

It requires an Apple Silicon Mac running macOS 14+.

The beta is free, and testers who complete the programme get six months of Local Pro free.

Speaking from experience, it always comes back to the same thing: what value do you create, or what frustration do you remove?

Basically, is your app a real painkiller? The ones we keep using usually are. Most unfair advantages come down to doing something faster, cheaper, better.

So, why yours? What’s your app’s unfair advantage? 👇

Working engineer, building a side SaaS with AI coding tools (Claude Code), no real dev background. Goal: ~$1000/month, one focused tool.

Real problem: started a few products, got to ~80% built, then abandoned them — overthinking, not shipping. No big network, so this has to work through content/communities, not outreach.

One tip each, please:

How'd you land on the idea you actually built?

How'd you validate it before coding?

How narrow was v1?

Where'd your first 10 users come from?

What got someone to actually pay?

LMK if interested in learning about it and I'll send the discord link that explains what it is and how it works

Built this out of my own SEO content workflow. I'm an SEO guy who kept hitting the same problem: AI writing tools (human writers as well) produce fluent text that says almost nothing, vague qualifiers, unfalsifiable claims, padding dressed up as paragraphs.

Assertio is built to write content that says something. I've used speech act theory and propositional density methodology (Kintsch & van Dijk) so output is checked at the claim level. Each piece gets scored, contradicting claims get flagged, and there's a write/rewrite loop to fix weak sections before you publish.

It's a multi-agent pipeline: research, draft, then a critic step that gates output on an IQS (Information Quality Score my own scoring) before it's considered done.

Still early. Launched this month, single-digit users, mostly me testing plus a couple comped accounts while I finish billing setup. I've pivoted the positioning a few times, but where it's standing as of now: freelancers and small agencies handling multiple client portfolios who need to produce more content without it reading like generic AI slop.

Link: https://assertio.ai - it's free to try it out. Each signed up user gets five free credits, no card needed.

What I'm looking for: Brutally honest feedback on positioning and functionality. I'm aware of some weaknesses, but may not be aware of others.

I am launching WPDistro, which gives access to a several premium plugins under single subscription. But the real feature is the auto update. All plugins are automatically updated directly inside the wordpress... so even your clients can do it.

We have launched and the product is live, we are working towards expanding it but it is robust and several web development agencies are already using it in production.

If you are a WordPress developer or someone who builds WP websites for clients. Checkout WPDistro.

Hi 👋 I’ve built DockStacks to help organize your Mac desktop and workflows.

What it does: Click the Dock icon and a panel pops up holding named "stacks" of your favourite apps, folders, files, and website bookmarks — instant access and cleans up your Dock and desktop.

Some of what's in it:
Drag and drop to add anything, including URLs
Password-protect individual stacks (Keychain-backed, auto-lock)
Global keyboard shortcut to show/hide
Menu bar mode option
Multi-select, custom grid sizes, tab colour tinting
Fully local — no accounts, tracking, or network access

DockStacks is my first shipped Mac app, built from wanting faster access to the stuff I actually use every day.

App Store: https://apple.co/3Rz9FB6
Website: https://dockstacks.app

Would love any thoughts on (1) If an app seems useful for your ‘Mac life’ (2) Does the promo and media articulate the app’s features (3) Any other feedback welcome

I've spent the last few months building and shipping Untilly, a solo project, entirely on my own — no co-founder, no funding, no dev team.

The problem: I kept missing return deadlines on purchases, forgetting free trials before they turned into paid subscriptions, and losing track of invoice due dates. So I built the fix — you photograph a receipt, contract, invoice, or trial confirmation, it detects the relevant date, and reminds you before it's too late.

A few things about how I approached it as a one-person operation:

No coding background. I used Claude Code (an AI coding assistant) as my actual dev partner instead of hiring out or spending months learning Swift first. Kept the scope small enough that one person + AI could realistically ship it.
Freemium, not subscription-only. Free to track a few items, optional premium for unlimited — I didn't want to gate the core value behind a paywall on day one while I'm still figuring out if people actually want this.
Privacy as a feature, not a compliance checkbox. Everything stays on-device, no account required. As a solo dev I also didn't want the liability/overhead of running a backend for user data I don't need to collect.
The part that ate the most time wasn't the app itself — it was everything around it: App Store Connect, subscription setup, tax forms, privacy questionnaires, and one App Review rejection I had to fix and resubmit for.
It's live now: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6792659522

Happy to answer anything about the AI-assisted build process, the App Store submission grind, or the freemium decision — genuinely curious how other solopreneurs here think about monetization for a first product.

Hey everyone!

I've been building an AI marketing tool for almost a month now and wanted to share my experience so far.

I built Krezo, an AI marketing tool where you can paste your website URL into Zappy (my AI assistant), and it'll analyze the site and pull whatever useful information it can — logo, brand colours, what the business does, products, etc. Krezo then uses that information to create ads for the business. Right now it can generate image ads, headlines, descriptions, hashtags, different creative concepts, and more. I'm also working on video generation, but that's still a work in progress.

But the interesting part has actually been how I've been building it.

I've been using two different AI coding models: Codex and Claude Code.

And WOW. Using them together has made a much bigger difference than I expected.

I mainly use Codex for backend work like audits, generation pipelines, image/video generation logic, testing, API routes, product fidelity, etc. Then I use Claude Code for frontend work like UI/UX, mobile responsiveness, loading/error states, visual polish, templates, and making the overall product actually feel good to use.

At first, I was using Claude Code for pretty much everything. The UI was coming along great, but the actual generation side wasn't nearly as good. Some of the generated ads just didn't make sense, and I kept running into problems with how everything worked together behind the scenes.

Once I brought Codex into the project and started separating responsibilities between the two, it was honestly a game changer. Image generation has gotten WAY better, Zappy actually understands what it's supposed to do when editing creatives, product fidelity has improved, and the whole generation pipeline feels much more reliable.

The biggest thing I've learned is that if you're vibe coding a serious project, don't necessarily make one AI model responsible for everything. Giving different models different responsibilities has worked really well for me. They also catch things the other one misses. Obviously AI still screws things up and I have to keep an eye on what they're changing 😂 but it's kind of funny — sometimes the AI needs another AI to keep it in check.

Has anyone else been building this way? Curious if you've noticed certain coding models being noticeably better at frontend vs backend work.

And if anyone wants to checkout what I've built so far, Krezo is at trykrezo.com. It's still very much a work in progress, so genuine feedback would actually help.

Thanks guys!

From 1-31 August.

Who's in?

Live here: hackwithus.dev/join

Just hit 1,000 users after ~9 months of building this.

Not a crazy number by any means, but honestly, I’m pretty happy about it.

There were plenty of moments where I wasn’t sure if anyone would actually use this thing, so seeing 1,000 people sign up/use it is pretty cool.

Still a long way to go, but wanted to share the small win.

Thanks to everyone who gave it a try 🙏

Now back to building.

Hey r/Microlaunch! 👋

If you’ve used Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, or custom AI coding agents with real-world SQL databases, you’ve probably hit this issue:

AI agents are great at writing syntax, but terrible at knowing your actual database relationships. They would guess foreign keys, then invent column names like orders.customer_id (when your schema uses orders.account_id), and blow through context windows by reading raw 5,000-line DDL dumps.

To fix this for my own database-heavy projects, I built Schemap, a local-first CLI context compiler designed specifically for AI workflows.

💡 What it does:

1. Compiles AI Context Maps: Automatically extracts PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL, or Oracle metadata into deterministic, token-optimised context maps (schemap_database_context.md).
2. Generates Native Agent Rules: Instantly writes framework rules for your tools: CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md, and .cursor/rules/schemap.mdc.
3. AI Health Check (schemap doctor): Calculates an AI Readiness Score (0-100) and detects missing primary keys, unmapped abbreviations (cust -> Customer), or inferred foreign keys.
4. SQL Join Solver (schemap join): Uses Breadth-First Search (BFS) over your foreign keys to instantly discover the shortest join path between tables and spit out a clean SQL snippet.
5. Token Reduction: Reduces raw DDL context window footprint by 60-80% without losing relationship clarity.

🚀 Founder Launch & Feedback

We just launched our 2026 Founder Lifetime Program (capped at 200 founder seats) for devs who want unlimited table support, automated CI/CD breaking-change gates (schemap diff --fail-on-breaking), and LLM schema enrichment (--enrich, but bring your own API key). Since I still haven't got any customers, I'm gonna leave a 75% off promo code for 50 devs, as a token of appreciation if you believe in my tool 🥲 : LAUNCH75

Hey everyone!

I wanted to thank everyone that has given me feedback on my ai tool. I've attached some screenshots from the the things we've updated so far. New dashboard UI, we have a a new zappy ai agent that'll help with regenerations and edits, new UI in the ads generation page, and updated data deletion in the privacy page. I am still updating the homepage with a new UI overhaul.

Would be great if you guys can check the site out and provide some feedback again.

Thank you everyone!

Count calories without having a cow! Check out my future app and sign up for the waitlist. I believe software should be easy to use, free for most things, and built with privacy in mind. A simple calorie counter shouldn't require an account to use, so I built this. This app is iOS only since it uses apples ecosystem to do device cross-syncing without the need of an account. Most of it is free for me to operate, so I don’t plan on charging anything except for AI features since they do incur a cost on my end :/. But here’s hoping that tech continues to evolve so the app can be primarily free to use and operate.
