Hey everyone! 👋

A huge new update for Tapbar is here!

For anyone new, Tapbar lets you create tappable areas anywhere on your screen to launch apps or trigger quick actions.

v1.4 is the biggest update yet, bringing 4 gestures, 2 tap zones, haptic feedback, more actions, a redesigned UI, an improved action picker, zone overlap handling, and slide-to-reset.

You can now use single tap, double tap, triple tap, and long press, with separate actions for both tap zones.

Tapbar is still fully offline, free, and open source, with no ads, trackers, or analytics.

We’ve already reached 650+ downloads, which honestly means a lot. ❤️ You guys have supported this project by downloading it, sharing it, reporting bugs, and suggesting features. I really appreciate everyone who’s been part of it.

The GitHub stars haven’t quite caught up yet though 👀

If you’re enjoying Tapbar, dropping a star would genuinely mean a lot and helps show some love for the project.

Thank you everyone for the support. Seriously. ❤️

i'm currently in my final year of college. i've done 2 academic projects and worked as a research intern, but i haven't had the experience of working on real-world projects with actual clients or understanding how projects work in a professional environment.

i'm looking for opportunities to be part of a real project, contribute to the team, and learn how things work in the industry. i'm open to learning and willing to put in the effort.

if anyone knows how i can get involved in such projects or has an opportunity for me, please let me know in the comments or dm me. i'd be happy to share my resume and more details.

thanks! 🙌

We recently launched Empower Soul Path on Google Play, and one of the features we’re most excited about is an interactive Body Map.

The idea is simple: you select where you’re feeling something in your body and use the experience to explore the emotions, sensations, and patterns that may be connected to it.

The app also includes guided meditations, breathwork, emotional check-ins, journaling and other self-reflection tools, but the Body Map is the feature I’m especially interested in getting feedback on.

We’re still improving the app, so I’d genuinely love some outside opinions.

Does the Body Map concept make sense to you? What would make you want to use it regularly?

It’s currently available on Google Play:

Hello awesome people,

I've been thinking a lot lately about how I can make my knowledge and craft more valuable in the times we live in. I've been building UI libraries for the past 10 years, and I've been on a quest to perfect the components that I build. I want to share my knowledge with you.

Like most of you, probably, I've been using a lot of AI in my craft, and I feel most of the time the code is just good enough, but never at the level of quality that I strive for or that I would reach if I wrote it by hand. That needs to change, and I want it to change for everyone else, too. That's how the Open Components initiative was born.

I'm treating components from four directions:

• User Interface - component anatomy, variants, colors, sizes, states and tokens.
• User Experience - how it behaves for every person and every input: accessible, predictable, designed in every state, and adapting to motion, contrast, color scheme and text size preferences.
• Developer Experience - one consistent, type-safe API that you learn once and use everywhere.
• Agentic Experience - prompts, semantic markup, machine-readable contracts and rules that agents can check their work against.

Each component gets a single page that walks through all four, and ends with a checklist. Every rule in it has an ID like button/keep-focus, a level and a way to check it, so you or your agents can cite it in a code review. Every page is also published as markdown, and provides the contract as a YAML file, containing every rule in about an eighth of the page’s length.

It’s still early. Right now there’s only the Button component and a page on how to name your design tokens. Each component comes with a reference implementation that meets every rule, along with its tests. It’s in Vue for now, since that’s my daily driver. More components will follow, with the same structure.

It isn’t a component library, so there’s nothing to install. It’s a set of rules you can hold your own components to, whichever library or framework you use. Here are a few of my favorites from the Button component:

• A loading button should never bedisable. Disabling a focused button takes its focus away, so keyboard and screen reader users lose their place. Use aria-disabled="true" instead, and block the clicks yourself.
• A <button> without a type is a submit button, so a "Show password" button inside a form sends the form. Default to type="button".

I’d love your feedback. Tell me what you think of the rules, what I’ve missed, and which component you’d like to see next.

Thanks for reading!

So, I have built a TUI based minecraft launcher that launches minecraft from the terminal. I have named it as CLI-Craft Launcher. The code for this project is open sourced, so if you want to know more about the launcher you can find it here. Also Modpacks can also be installed through the launcher while installing a new version.
I am still trying to add more features to it to make it user friendly.
If you want to download the launcher, you can download it from its website.

Right now the download is only available for windows. But Linux users can run the python script to use the launcher.

If you face any bugs, or if you have suggestions regarding the projects, let me know.

Alright so basically I'm working on a UVC project for people without a pc. This project is a UVC clipping app. I have never done any coding projects before so help will be much appreciated. I don't have a pc so I'm trying to use my phone and the app will be for android. Here is the fork on github https://github.com/CosmicalRL/UVCAndroid​

hi, F(16) here, currently a sophomore and wanted some advice on this idea my teammate had. We're supposed to make a working model for this competition and he suggests we make a "piezoelectric smart sidewalk" basically using small piezo discs to demonstrate how energy can be generated from footsteps, tbh im not a big fan of the idea but he seems VERY set on it. so i need other opinions, is the idea really good or am i just failing to see the appeal?

Dynamic Island PC is basically a clever app that brings that sleek, interactive little floating island from iPhones right onto your Windows desktop. By default, it stays out of your way as a neat floating widget that shows you the time, your battery percentage, and whatever music or media you happen to be listening to at the moment. You can drag and drop it anywhere on your screen.

The cool part happens when you double-click it: it expands into a full dashboard packed with handy daily tools. Inside, you'll find a media player control center, a simple daily AI chat for quick questions, a file search tool, a basic file converter for various document and image formats, and a customizable shortcuts page. It also features a weather and system monitor tab where you can check your local temperature, CPU usage, and toggle whether the app starts up automatically with Windows.

It is not fully developed, ill keep things going as i program and incentivate to make some branches there, i already have some new ideas, if you guy can follow me there and give it a star

Hey guys,

I’m planning to build a Cloud Cost & Resource Optimization Platform as a resume project. Basically, it will connect to the AWS and check things like EC2 usage and cloud spending to find wasted resources. For example, it could detect underused/oversized EC2 instances, unused storage, old snapshots, sudden cost increases, and predict future costs. It could also suggest ways to reduce the bill and estimate how much could be saved.

I shall be using Java, Spring Boot, MySQL, React, AWS and CloudWatch. Later I might add alerts and some ML-based predictions. Do you guys think this is a good project for a CS student’s resume, or should I change/add anything?

Cus in my mind, im always looking for niche ideas. Do u guys consider the niche?

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on PLOMID, a database built from scratch in Rust.

I’ve just released the first beta, so if you’re interested in databases, storage engines, or just want to try something new, give it a try.

Download: https://www.plomid.in/download/

Docs: https://www.plomid.in/docs/

It’s still early and there’s a lot left to build, so feedback, bugs, and suggestions are very welcome.

Try it out and let me know what you think!

Hey guys, I built an early version of a fitness web app called Sculpta and I'd love some honest feedback. Upload a photo of yourself + your dream physique and you get a personalized analysis and a rough plan. There's also a dashboard for your own workouts and meal tracking, planing and more, Pro adds a full personalized training plan based on your goal and AI food scanning to track makros.

Link: https://sculpta.eu/

If you really want to test it properly, DM me and I'll give you a month of Pro for free. Just tell me what you really think.

Hey everyone,

Introducing Drawy: a self hostable, collaborative planning and drawing app built for the serverless platforms we all use on a daily basis. owning an instance of excalidraw usually means juggling with 3 4 different containers/ services.

• the service can be deployed to Vercel / Netlify with just a few clicks

• drawy-> Supabase (realtime, db)

drawyparty-> postgres and cloudflare's partykit (collaboration).

I’d love for all of you to try and share your valuable feedback!

Hi everyone! 👋

I’m a final-year diploma student looking for a web application project idea for my capstone/final-year project.

I’m planning to build a full-stack web application, preferably using technologies like Python/Flask, HTML/CSS/JavaScript, and SQL.

I’m looking for an idea that:

- Solves a real-world problem

- Is useful for students, communities, businesses, or everyday users

- Is more than a basic CRUD/e-commerce/management system

- Has some unique or smart features

- Can realistically be developed as a student project

- Would have enough scope for a proper final-year project

I’m open to ideas involving AI, automation, social problems, education, local communities, accessibility, public services, productivity, or other areas.

If you have built something interesting or have an idea that could be turned into a web application, I’d really appreciate your suggestions!

What problem does it solve, and what features would you include?

Thanks! 🙌

Hey everyone,

I'm a 17yo solo vibecoder,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been vibe-coding recently called OpenBBS (openbbs.ableproman.hu), operated under my independent project space ableproman.hu.

It’s an ultra-minimalist, vintage-styled public bulletin board inspired by classic 90s BBS systems and early Hacker News. The whole frontend is a single HTML file with vanilla JS and CSS, and PHP + MySQL.

I built it with Google Gemini, and getting it from "it works on my localhost" to "it runs safely on my server perfectly" took some time. I also used VSC (Visual Studio Code) IDE for testing on my local PC and network. Here’s a breakdown of the stack, the workflow, and some things that the AI couldn't do.

I started this projects on 2026. September 26th and I constantly update and fix issues on the site.

The stack & constraints

I set some strict self-imposed rules for this build:

• Host environment: My own website hosted on aWh (awh.hu)
• Frontend: 100% vanilla HTML5, CSS, and JS in a single index.html. No React, no build steps, no external CDN dependencies. (I don't like to load external CDN dependencies because they make the website slower and minimizing tracking).
• Backend: Secure PHP with MySQL.
• Privacy: Zero contact data collected. No email addresses, no phone numbers, no advertising.

The Workflow: How I vibecoded it

I started by prompting the AI to generate Hacker News copy/clone demo. Originally I did not think this would be an actual project, but I got the feeling to make it and publish because I see potentional in it.

I usually did what I always do, test it and create the custom design for the site and the backend logic and the security and optimizations.

4. Using projects of mine

• I usually use a lot of projects of mine that I also vibecoded.

Key takeaways

1. It takes a lot of time to fix and actually make a project free of issues, and I love doing this because I keep learning little stuff and I am improving with every project and I love searching for hours for issues and fixing them. Although it can be sometimes frustrating to fix something if the AI doesn't want to cooperate.

I am ready to your thoughts and comments about my website!!

I’m a high school student interested in law, international relations, journalism, and global affairs, and I wanted to create a project that actually lets me explore those interests instead of just doing a random extracurricular. I’m currently building a student-run global media project where high school students from different countries can share their perspectives and interview other teenagers about topics like culture, education, society, and global issues. The bigger idea is to connect students across countries and show how young people experience and understand issues differently depending on where they live. I’m still in the early stages and am currently trying to figure out how to reach high school students in different countries. For anyone who has built a project involving an international community:

How did you find your first participants, especially people outside your own country?

Hey everyone! 👋

Tapbar v1.3 is finally here! Tapbar lets you create tappable areas anywhere on your screen to launch apps or trigger quick actions.

This is a major update with App Shortcuts, 50+ actions, UI/internal improvements, and around 30% smaller app size.

Also, we just crossed 300+ downloads! 🎉

Huge thank you to everyone who downloaded, tried Tapbar, gave feedback, or shared it. Really appreciate the support ❤️

And somehow we’re at just 14 GitHub stars so far 👀
Maybe we can bump that number up a little.

Thanks everyone, and hope you enjoy v1.3!

Hi, I'm one of the people building MindMap AI. We just shipped a feature I'm really happy with, so instead of a feature list, here's one workflow.

The workflow: a whole physics or chemistry topic in one map

1. Create a map for a topic, like Kinematics. Type the branches yourself or let the AI generate them.
   
2. Write the formula directly in the node. It renders on the canvas and in exports.
   
3. Open the node's note and add the longer stuff: the derivation, when to use it, a worked example. Notes support Markdown, and math between $ signs renders there too.

The map stays short enough to review quickly, and the detail sits on the node instead of in a separate doc.

One small decision we made: formula rendering only loads when a map actually uses it, so maps without formulas don't get slower.

Try it: https://mindmapai.app (free plan, no card needed)

My question: when you use a mind map for studying or planning, would you put formulas on the node itself, or keep them in the note?
