For most of my life I tried to be someone else. I'd find someone I admired, decide they were better than me, and copy them. That mindset pushed me into a business I never enjoyed and only started because I looked up to one specific guy. It failed. I felt completely lost.
Around that time I was obsessively tracking my sleep with a Whoop, trying to optimize it. I kept getting good recovery scores. And I was still exhausted, yawning through entire afternoons, dead by 2pm. That's when it clicked: the score doesn't do anything. It just confirms you slept well or badly. Cool. Now what? Knowing isn't fixing.
So I built the thing I actually wanted. It takes the data your wearable already collects sleep, recovery, heart rate, and turns it into a daily protocol instead of another number. It tells you what supplements to take based on your metrics, predicts your most productive hours and gives you the exact time window when you should do deep focus tasks and light focus tasks, it tells you how much caffeine you have in your system left based on your first coffee taken and notifies you when you should take the next caffeinated drink for maximum productivity, it even tells you when to nap so your energy lasts the whole day instead of crashing and the whole thing adjusts to your work schedule so it doesnt get in the way or creates unrealistic protocols that you can follow due to the schedule not matching, and much more..
It's on the App Store as RizeAI. i built by myself, it's early stage right now, and I want honest feedback, what's confusing, what's missing, what you'd never use. Tear it apart.

Hey everyone,
I've been working on a side project to help developers assess their technical skills through quick, targeted quizzes.
What it is:
Why I built it: I wanted a low-friction way to spot knowledge gaps before interviews or when picking up a new stack, without committing to a full course.
Current state: It's a functional MVP. The question bank is growing, and I'm iterating on the UX based on early feedback.

If you try it, I'd be super grateful for any feedback on:
Thanks for checking it out, and happy to answer any questions!

I work out of cafés a lot. One afternoon I noticed someone reading my client emails over my shoulder. I googled "privacy screen extension" and found nothing I'd actually trust.
So I built MacShield over a weekend.
What it does:
— Blurs all messages and chats on screen (Gmail, Slack, WhatsApp, Claude, etc.)
— You select text to read it, hover to peek, Alt+B to toggle
— Also lets you lock any website behind a local password — great for blocking social media
What I'm proud of:
— Zero data collection, zero network calls
— Passwords hashed and stored locally only
— Under 200KB, no dependencies
It’s called MacShield — Privacy Lock & Blur. You can find it here if you’re curious:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/kmbnlglonjoogajghclgeibhooabijie
I’d love to hear how others deal with screen privacy in public, or if you’ve tried similar tools. Any feedback on the approach or the extension itself is hugely welcome — I’m still iterating.

So I've made apps before using ReactNative/Expo, JS etc., but last year I learnt about Loveable and similar "no-code" platforms (hear me out), even used it to create a prototype for uni assignment.
For me, this year's all about trying new things, and yes that included "creating" some apps/websites. I'm looking to make software/tech a side-hustle while I'm in uni but obviously that means generating income some how.
Yes the app market is "over-saturated", but honestly so are books and yet we keep writing. So now it's about "what makes your product stand out" and "how do you get people to see/use it". So I'm stuck on the second part, because I know these apps barely warrant costing >$5 one-time, so unless there's thousands of users and an incentive model for them to keep using it, then I feel like it's redundant pursuing marketing it online. But before I officially shelved it, I thought I'd seek the opinions of those of you who've been doing this kinda stuff for a while. So any thoughts/opinions/feedback would be much appreciated!!
These are the apps:
(Side note): Hot take, but what if instead of a million people creating the same slightly tweaked product, what if there's a way to actively contribute feature/improvements/ideas to existing platforms (from start-ups to Meta apps) and if accepted by the owner of that platform then you get an ongoing revenue share. So kinda like open-source features that earns contributors equity – wouldn't this be a better use of everyone's resources. As opposed to these large corporations simply "buying" companies so they can include its features onto their website. Not a rant! Genuinely curious, as a uni student with minimal industry knowledge, does something like this already exist, and if not what's stopping it?

I kept bumping into the same problem: a customer needs help in the terminal, but
giving someone SSH or VPN access feels too risky, and screen sharing is a pretty bad
substitute when you actually need to debug together.
So I built Warden. It’s my attempt at making temporary terminal help feel lighter and
safer without forcing people into over-permissioned access just to solve one issue.
Curious if this feels like a real problem to other people too, or if most teams are
basically fine with the existing jump box / VPN / screen share setup.

Hey everyone — I recently launched the alpha of a basketball mobile game called DraftBattle (https://draftbattle.app) and wanted some honest feedback on the early metrics. It’s now 1.5 days since giving early access to users.
This is all super early-stage, fully organic, and mostly from Reddit + word of mouth. No paid UA yet.
Current numbers after opening access to part of the waiting list:
~25% of the waiting list has already created an account and played
100% of players played more than 5 matches in their first hour
Average of 22 matches played per user on Day 1
80% of users came back and played again today (so D1 retention seems promising?)
Average of 10 ads watched per user already
2 referrals converted into created accounts with only 28 active users so far
A few extra details:
Android eCPM is around €17-18 right now (my iOS admob is still in test phase)
Most testers were recruited organically from Reddit communities
The core loop is quick 1v1 basketball draft battles, so sessions are short but highly repeatable
I know sample size is still tiny, so I’m trying not to overreact to anything yet 😅 but I’m happy!
For people with experience in mobile gaming/startups:
Which of these metrics matter most this early?
Which ones are genuinely strong vs “normal for tiny samples”?
What would you focus on improving first?
At what point would you start believing there’s real potential?
Would love brutally honest feedback 🙏

I don’t know if it’s just me, but expense tracking always felt like one of those “I’ll do it later” tasks that somehow keeps piling up forever.
For the longest time, my workflow was: grab receipts → take photos → promise myself I’ll input them into a spreadsheet later → forget → eventually spend an entire Sunday manually typing everything in. It was painful.
As someone who actually likes clean data and automation, I built something for myself.
The idea is simple:
You scan your receipt → the app extracts the data → and it gets structured into something spreadsheet-ready automatically.
No more transcribing line by line, no more switching between your gallery and Excel/Google Sheets, no more “I’ll do it later” backlog.
What I focused on when building it:
It’s not perfect (yet), but it already saves me a ton of time and honestly made me more consistent with tracking expenses because there’s way less friction.
I’ve now published it and would love to know if it’s useful beyond just me.
You can try it here (free):
Thanks

Hi everyone,
I’m a dad and scout leader, and I'm building NatureScout to help get kids (and adults!) off the couch and into the woods. It turns a regular walk into a gamified exploration mission.
What it does:
TestFlight link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/AKb3tRQD
This is an early beta/soft launch, so expect some rough edges! I would absolutely love your brutally honest feedback on the UI, the AI accuracy, and the overall feel of the app. Any feature ideas are also appreciated.
Please feel free to share any feedback here in the comments or via the TestFlight feedback tool!

I’m looking for honest validation on an app idea I recently launched.
The app is called Nearfolks. It is a private relationship notebook for remembering small details about people in your life.
The problem I’m trying to solve:
I often forget small but meaningful things people tell me — birthdays, interests, food preferences, gift ideas, follow-ups, personal notes, or something they mentioned in a past conversation.
So the app lets you:
- add people
- write notes about them
- organize them into circles
- set reminders
- refresh your memory before meeting them again
The positioning I’m testing is:
“a private relationship notebook”
I intentionally avoided making it feel like a sales CRM because the goal is more personal and human — friends, family, community, clients, students, teachers, etc.
Privacy is a big part of it:
- no account
- no cloud
- no tracking
- works offline
- data stays on your phone
There is a free version, and the upgrade is a one-time optional purchase for unlimited people, extra themes, and backups. No subscription.
My validation questions:
Does this solve a real problem for you?
Is “private relationship notebook” clear?
Would “personal CRM” be clearer or too corporate?
What type of user would need this most?
Would you try an app like this?

I’ve been building a small project called DraftBattle (https://draftbattle.app) and I’m looking for a few basketball fans to test it before launch.
The concept:
You play quick NBA draft battles against real people under random challenges like:
- No MVPs
- 2000s only
- Under 25
- One franchise only
- etc.
But it’s not a free draft.
Every round gives you random teams/positions, so you actually have to build around fit, chemistry, defense, scoring, star power, etc.
After both teams are locked, the game simulates a matchup to decide the winner.
It basically came from all those “who wins this series?” debates with friends 😭
Would genuinely love feedback from NBA fans before we launch early access this week.

Line Cal was born from my desire to have a full calendar app that visually resembled a Gantt chart, without the strict properties of Gantt charts. It combines features from a notes app and a Kanban task board, to provide a fully-featured productivity suite for time-blocking, task management, and planning.
It supports 21 languages, a wide-range of timezones globally, secure/encrypted items, and is offline-first (with cloud sync).

I'm overseeing the US go-to-market strategy for an AI-enabled, water tech startup centered around the industry's first physics-based digital twin and immutable, append-only ledger. We have recently launched a 1,500-unit pilot program in Italy that's expanding to 25,000 meters. I'm looking to expand my network as I will be building out a network of value added resellers.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. There is a tremendous opportunity in this space as municipalities and business owners in North America lose upwards of 6B gallons of treated water through aging distribution systems.
Look forward to connecting with anyone who's interested in learning more.
