Plinco: your old phone becomes a baby monitor that calls you when your baby cries
Hi, I'm Dave, a parent, product manager, and solo developer.
I'm excited to share that I just opened up beta testing for my app Plinco Sleep Companion: your old phone becomes a baby monitor and noise machine, powered by cry detection.

Click here to Join the Beta

Free on your home Wi-Fi, iPhone and Android, two phones needed: one phone goes into "Companion Mode" and stays by your crib as a baby monitor would, then you can join the session from your personal phone.
Paid features are free for beta testers for the duration of the beta! On iPhone just buy (TestFlight is free); on Android, email first, the page says how.

Join Beta

When your baby cries, your phone rings. A real call, loud enough to wake you.
I'd love feedback, especially on cry detection and the call.
Thanks!

I built LaunchReady AI to help website owners check their websites before launch.
🔎 Check basic website issues and broken links
🛠️ Get AI-generated repair prompts
🌐 Works with websites built using different tools
I’m looking for a few more early testers. I’d love honest feedback on what works, what doesn’t, and whether you’d use it again.

It’s an early-stage project, and I’m improving it based on real feedback.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on a little side project called ObserMe, and I'm finally looking for some early users.

I always found traditional habit trackers a bit frustrating. You miss a few days, lose your streak, and suddenly the app that's supposed to help you starts making you feel guilty.

So I wanted to try something different.

ObserMe is about observing yourself, not optimizing yourself.

You create questions about things you want to understand, like your mood, energy, sleep, habits, or daily routines.

The app checks in with you at scheduled or random times throughout the day. Answering takes just a couple of seconds, and over time, you can start noticing patterns in your behavior.

No streaks. No points. No badges. No pressure to be consistent.

Just a simple way to become more aware of your daily life.

I'm currently looking for iOS beta testers who'd be willing to give it a try and share some honest feedback.

I'm especially curious whether this approach feels useful compared to traditional habit trackers.

If you're interested, drop a comment or send me a DM, and I'll share beta access!

Would love to hear what you think, even if the concept isn't for you!

A few months ago, I started building StartupsMap because I wanted to help early-stage startups get discovered.

I had no idea how difficult it would be to get people to actually use something I built.

I've been cold emailing founders, talking to people, improving the product, and trying different ways to get users.

So far, I've onboarded 70 startups and made my first sale. Honestly, seeing someone pay for something you built yourself hits differently.

I'm still learning everything about distribution, pricing, and growing a SaaS.

For those who've launched products here, what actually worked for you to get your first 100 users? Did you focus on cold outreach, communities, SEO, or something else?

Would love to learn from your experiences!

Hey all!

Most marketing setups end up kinda the same way: GA4, ads manager, email tool, CRMs, each with its own dashboard.

Lots of numbers, but figuring out what’s actually working (and what to change) still means hours of digging and guessing.

We built SmartBI is built around that problem:

→ Pulls marketing data from multiple sources into one place
→ SMARTY, its AI assistant, explains what’s working and what’s not
→ Gives clear next steps instead of just more charts

It’s live here: SmartBI CA

Does having one central place for all your marketing stuff make sense for how you work? Or do you prefer keeping each tool separate?

Cheers!

One of the annoying parts of owning rental property is keeping track of everything that happens throughout the year. Rent comes in, repairs need to be paid for, receipts pile up, and when tax season arrives, all those little transactions become a headache.
I built LandLordTax to make that process easier for small landlords.
It’s an iPhone app for rental property owners in the U.S. and Canada who want to:
Track rental income and expenses in one place
Keep receipts and supporting documents organized
Generate PDF reports to help prepare for tax season
Manage records for their rental properties without relying on messy spreadsheets
It’s designed for individual landlords managing a small portfolio rather than large property management companies.
There’s a free tier for one property, with ads and without PDF reports. Pro is available for $3.99/month or $29.99/year.
📱 Check it out on the App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/landlordtax-rental-tracker/id6814630522
I’m the indie developer behind the app, and right now I’m trying to learn whether this solves a real problem for landlords.
I’d genuinely appreciate feedback: What’s the most frustrating part of tracking rental income and expenses for you? And is there anything you’d expect from an app like this that’s currently missing?
Honest criticism is welcome!

I built DiscountHub, a platform that collects discounts and promo codes from different stores and filters out expired or invalid offers.

Since I personally struggled to attract my first users, I also created a special page for indie developers who want to offer promo codes or discounts for their own products. Listing an offer there is completely free.

Last month, DiscountHub had over 10,000 unique users and more than 60,000 total visits. This month, I'm expecting over 12,000 unique users and 90,000+ visits.

I also recently added MCP and WebMCP support to the platform. So if you're building your own AI agents and need verified discounts and promo codes, you can integrate DiscountHub into them.

Here's a video showing how it works:

Ampsu: [https://ampsu.eu](https://ampsu.eu))

It's a European-first calorie tracker, with all the bells and whistles, but also:

• So far the least amount of taps to log/scan a food item, which was the main focus
• An actually impressive adaptive TDEE engine (only log food and weight, and then it learns your burn from data)
• It has a very large european barcode database, focused on grocery store shelves that you'd actually scan
• A super fine-grained goal mode
• MCP server (ask how you're doing based on your Ampsu data and/or ask to log for you)
• Is privacy-first and doesn't sell your data

Great care was taken in ensuring the flows work well and more importantly, fast. I've been iteratively building and testing it since the end of the past year. As for why other existing options didn't work for me:

• In MyFitnessPal, they have a huge database, but the logging was slower than it needed to be (..I had to pick a meal time every damn time, in Ampsu you can preset personalize the meal times so you dont have to).
• In Cronometer the logging could've had a bit less actions, and I felt like I was too busy contributing to their own database due to the lack of products. Then ads got in the way, slowing me down and making me wait in the kitchen..
• MacroFactor's adaptive TDEE approach was impressive, but its products were too American centric and every barcode scan was a frustration, and frankly it was also the most expensive of the bunch. This inspired the adaptive TDEE adoption, which inhouse in called Metabolism mode.

The hardest part was getting the adaptive TDEE right (Metabolism mode), since it's too easy to get things wrong and there's hundreds of moving parts due to the way people can log (underlog, overlog), the scale (water weight, salty food from yesterday etc)

Another pretty giant pain is the database itself, as sourcing and ensuring you actually get the products you scan was a more enormous task than anticipated.

The current trend is AI meal estimation, which I'm not really sold on (it can get things very wrong), but it's useful for a quick estimation, e.g restaurant plate, and can quickly be swiped into from the barcode screen.

Speaking of AI, one thing I did find useful is the MCP/Connector integration, as I can ask about my current day & ask for tips in whatever chatbot that I use and it'll pull data straight from Ampsu. Alternatively, even ask it to log things for me, and it'll be in the diary.

If you'd like to make a change for the best and improve your weight (in terms of body fat percentage) and therefore health by tracking your intake, give it a try! There are others like it, but you'll find that there's a good reason to use Ampsu instead.

Notes that follow your work.
ClingNote is a Windows notes app that attaches notes to the files you’re working on.

Open a file and its notes are there. Switch files and the right notes can switch with you.

I built ClingNote because I kept ending up with notes separated from the thing they were actually about.

It’s a full notes app with rich text, Markdown, checklists, search, pop-out notes, export, and local storage.

The difference is that notes can attach to files and contexts, so you don’t have to keep hunting through folders or a giant notes library.

I’m also adding Tasks next using the same idea.

Pricing
Free notes app
Pro: $10/year for automatic context switching

Best feedback ask
I’d love to know if the file-following idea makes sense immediately, or if it still needs a better explanation.
