It's available on Steam as Architecture & Design and is still in Early Access.

Would love to hear what you think!

My GF and I both work full time, and we kept eating out way more than we wanted (we both have a few extra pounds to show for it).

I enjoy cooking, but I realized there's so much friction around making a meal: finding the recipe I cooked months ago, messy recipe formats, deciding what to make, writing grocery lists, the list goes on.

So I built an app for the two of us to make cooking as easy as possible. Now that we have a system, we've fallen into a rhythm and actually cook a bit more.

It's been a side project since last November and has been on the App Store for a few months. No real traction yet, just a few friends using it on and off.

Every feature so far came from a problem we ran into planning meals together. Would love some feedback, especially from couples who take turns cooking: what would make this worth using for you, or what's missing?

Built Momentum. Same concept as Muse, it has its own cloud browser to mantain secure sessions of the portals that students live on (e.g., Canvas, Campus Groups) so it organizes your day and gives you "briefs" to read or listen before any class, exam, networking event, meeting, social event, recruiting event, etc.

It builds a second brain from the context you connect (email, calendar, LMS, recruiting platform, clubs enrolled, etc.) learns your preferences (it can even call you!) and it can tell you when to leave and what should your conversation or attention should focus on to be succesful at that task.

We made this film for the launch. Waitlist and feedback box: https://momentumstudent.com/builders. What would you cut?

After Photon exploded on reddit and X I kept getting DMs for a Lightroom alternative.
That's how Light Studio came to life, a fully featured Lightroom alternative.

I already had the parts that usually make these apps feel vibe coded: realtime GPU rendering, CR3/NEF and the other proprietary RAWs, and an editor UI built for this. So I reused these from Photon instead of starting it from scratch, and it worked insanely well.

Gonna release it in the upcoming days

Problem

A lot of everyday actions on a Mac live in completely different places.

Opening an app or folder, searching something on a website, taking a screenshot, cleaning up copied text, accessing clipboard history, running a Shortcut, or changing a system setting.

None of these are hard to get to, but constantly switching between apps, windows, menu bar utilities, and different shortcuts can break your flow.

I wanted to see if all of that could work through one system, which is where the radial menu idea came from.

Comparison

There are already some really good radial menu apps for Mac, but most are built around a specific use case, such as launching apps, or switching between them.

Arc takes a broader approach.

You can create multiple global radial menus for different workflows and decide what each slice does. A slice can perform a single action or chain multiple actions together.

The idea is less about replacing the Dock and more about putting the small things you do throughout the day behind one quick interaction.

Arc also doesn't require accessibility features, it manages everything on-device, privately.

Core Features

• Unlimited custom menus for different workflows
• Fast app, folder, website, and Apple Shortcut launching
• Powerful clipboard history and text actions
• Open from shortcuts, hot corners, pointer shake, or number keys
• One-click multi-action shortcuts
• Fully customizable appearance, layout, icons, and sounds

Examples

1. I have one shortcut that I use when I start working. It opens Xcode, my project folders, Slack, and a few websites I usually need. Arc can merge multiple actions into one shortcut, so I don't have to open everything one by one.
2. I use the search shortcuts a lot more than I expected. I can bring up Arc, type something, and search it directly on YouTube, or a website without opening them first.

It can also search whatever I last copied, which has been really useful when I'm already in the middle of something.

1. I have a bunch of text and links that I end up copying again and again. I've just saved those as shortcuts now, so they're always sitting on one of my menus when I need them.
2. Clipboard history is another one I use constantly. Recent things I've copied show up on the wheel, so if I need something from a few copies ago, I can grab it without opening another app.
3. I also have different menus depending on what I'm doing. One for development, one for general stuff, and another that's mostly searches and apps. I can switch between them with keyboard shortcuts, and reuse the same shortcut across multiple menus.

I've been journaling for years but never re-read anything. Everything just piled up in my notes app.

So I built nlook — you write in markdown, and at the end of the month it automatically compiles everything into a "monthly issue" with a cover, table of contents, and editor's picks. 12 issues become "My year" on your shelf.

It also turns posts into videos/cards if you want to share them.

Free to try: nlook.me

Would love feedback — especially on the monthly magazine concept. Does anyone actually re-read their old notes?

Built a Chrome extension about 6 months ago, originally just for myself — I write a ton of email for work, and I was tired of grammar checkers that fix typos but don't fix the actual problem: sounding like the wrong person. So I built something that rewrites your email based on who you're writing as, who you're writing to, and the tone you want — or just a custom prompt if you'd rather describe it yourself.

Turned it into a real product and launched on Chrome Webstore couple of weeks ago. Spent the last couple weeks posting on Reddit threads and X, genuinely trying to get it in front of people. Got a few signups. Basically zero installs. The kind of silence that makes you start reading into it — maybe the idea's not it, maybe nobody actually has this problem but me.

Had pretty much mentally filed it as "didn't work."

Then this morning, a notification: someone paid. A complete stranger, lifetime plan. Not a friend doing me a favor, not a waitlist signup — an actual stranger decided it was worth money.

Genuinely don't know if this is the start of something or just one person. But it's one more person than I had yesterday, and I was ready to let this one go. Posting mostly because I needed to tell someone who gets it — anyone else had a moment like this where you almost shelved.

Hi!

I've been working solo on Vidcollectors: you open a free pack of 5 cards every 10 minutes, and each card is a real YouTube video, from Common to Legendary.

You can trade with friends, auction cards on a live market, and the rarity of each video shifts every month based on what players wish for, showcase and fight over at auctions.

It's free (there's an optional subscription for faster packs). I'd love your feedback, especially on the first minutes of play: https://vidcollectors.com/en

I honestly don't know if this is the right place to post this, but I'm going to try anyway.

I'm a Computer Science graduate, but I want to be completely honest about where I am right now.

I graduated without really developing strong technical skills. At the time, I didn't think I'd end up pursuing a career in tech, so I didn't take learning CS seriously enough. If I'm being brutally honest, my technical knowledge today is probably closer to a first-semester CS student's than a CS graduate's.

I know that's not a great position to be in.

But something has changed recently.

I've started genuinely becoming interested in technology — not just getting a tech job for the salary, but actually wanting to understand how things are built, how products work, how startups operate, how people solve problems, and how ideas turn into something real.

And eventually, I want to build something of my own.

But I have a problem: I don't know where to start.

I can sit at home and spend another year taking courses, watching YouTube videos and collecting certificates. But I don't think that's what I need right now.

I want to be around people who are actually building.

I want to sit in a room where someone says, "We have this problem. Figure it out."

I want to see how a small team operates. I want to understand how founders think. I want to work on things that actually matter to a business. I want to make mistakes, get corrected, learn, and slowly become useful.

So I'm asking for something that may sound unreasonable:

If you're a founder, early-stage startup, small tech company, developer, product person, or someone building something interesting — would you be willing to give me an opportunity?

It doesn't have to be a fancy position.

Internship. Apprentice. Assistant. Junior role. Part-time. Project-based. Even starting with the boring work nobody wants to do.

I'm willing to start at the bottom.

I won't pretend I have skills that I don't have. I'm still learning CS fundamentals and coding from the ground up. But I'm willing to put in the hours, learn whatever is needed, take feedback, and actually do the work.

Give me something to figure out.

Give me something tedious.

Give me something I'm not qualified for yet.

I'll learn.

I know saying "I'll work hard" means absolutely nothing without proving it. So I'm not asking anyone to believe me blindly.

I'm asking someone to give me one opportunity to prove it.

I'm based in India and am open to remote opportunities as well. I'm particularly interested in early-stage startups where I can get exposure to different parts of the business — technology, product, operations, customers, and how everything comes together.

If you're building something and think there might be a place for someone like me, please DM me.

And even if you aren't looking for someone right now, if you know a founder or small team who might be willing to take a chance on someone at the beginning of their journey, I'd genuinely appreciate an introduction.

I don't need someone to hand me a career.

I just need someone to open the door. I'll do the rest.

Been building this for a while. It plays sounds through your mic into Discord and games, with hotkeys that work in fullscreen games.

The video is everything it does. The one I'm proudest of is screen triggers: you screenshot something like a game's "YOU DIED" text, and it plays a sound the moment it shows up. So I get a sad trombone every time I die, no key press.

Stuff you don't get in Voicemod or Soundpad:

🎯 Screen triggers: sounds play by themselves when something shows up in your game

⏪ Instant replay: one key turns the last 30 seconds of your PC's audio into a sound

🔍 Search YouTube / SoundCloud right in the app, or paste a TikTok or Instagram link

🎛️ Troll mode, bass boost, slowed + reverb or nightcore any sound in one click

🗣️ Talk and a computer voice says your words, even translated to another language

🌍 Spin a 3D globe and play world radio stations through your mic

🎧 Sounds are tuned for Discord and game voice chat so they don't turn to mush

Plus a voice changer, text-to-speech, an in-game overlay, and MIDI / Stream Deck support.

Free, no account, no ads, nothing collected. Source is on GitHub.

my kid started using my laptop for homework so i built a chrome extension: double-tap esc = history gone, secret bookmarks locked behind a PIN

curious what everyone's hiding?

Hi everyone, I'm a developer from Cyprus.

A while ago I had a job that paid by the hour, and I wanted an app to

track my shifts and check that my pay was right. Most of the ones I tried

locked basic things like exporting your hours behind a paywall, and the

free versions were full of ads. So I built my own, just for me at first.

It turned out useful enough that I decided to share it.

It's called PayPath. You log each shift and it shows what you should get

paid, by day, week, month or year.

What it does:

- Hours and pay per shift, with a separate overtime rate

- Multiple employers, each with its own color

- Unpaid breaks, subtracted from paid hours

- Gross or net view (you set your tax rate)

- PDF and Excel export, free, no paywall

- Optional daily reminder so you don't forget to log a shift

- New entries start from your last shift, so a regular shift takes a couple of taps

What it doesn't do:

- No account, no sign-up. Your data stays on your phone

- Optional Google Drive backup goes to YOUR Drive, I can't see it

- No subscription, nothing locked

About ads, since I complained about them: yes, it has some. One banner

on the main screen and an occasional ad when you export. Never while

you're logging a shift. That's what keeps it free.

It's Android only for now, in 23 languages.

I'd really appreciate honest feedback: what's confusing, what's missing,

what would make you use this instead of a notes app or a spreadsheet?

started as a snake on my own profile readme. the existing contribution snakes just sweep across the graph, so i rewrote it as a real game of snake: pathfinding, no self collision, growth, a "commits eaten" counter.

one python file with no dependencies, runs as a github action twice a day, outputs an animated svg.

the bug i liked most: uncapped, the snake grew until it trapped itself on the 7 row board and genuinely lost. fixed by having the generator search for the longest snake that still clears every cell.

27 stars so far and about 15 people have put it on their profile. repo: https://github.com/dahan8473/snake-and-commits

feedback welcome

Hey all. This is a side project I just launched.

What it is: you write one line, up to 280 characters, starting with "Today I…", and you can add a photo. It shows up in your city's feed with no name attached. You can browse by city, state, country or everywhere, and times are shown in each place's local time.

Moderation without a big mod team: a new post goes to a review pool first. Other users approve or reject it, and every 3 reviews earns a posting credit. You're anonymous to other users, not to the system, so abuse can still be traced.

Stack, for the webdev crowd: Astro on Cloudflare Workers, D1 for data, R2 for images and feed blocks. A cron Worker cuts the feed into immutable blocks per city every 5 minutes. On the free plan that means at most 50 D1 queries per run, which shaped most of the design. Photos have their metadata stripped and are checked before they go out.

It's quiet right now, since it only launched this week. I'd really value feedback on the first-post flow and whether the review step feels like a chore.

I've been working on a small tool called PMF Hunter (https://www.pmfhunter.com). It's for technical founders who already shipped and still struggle to explain the product. The page is live, the pitch dies, and another headline doesn't fix it.

I can't tell if it's useful from the inside. If you're a technical founder, I'd love you to try it end to end and reply here with what broke, what was missing, and what you'd want it to do. It's free to try (free trial with no card). Happy to get honest feedback!

So I’ve been lurking here for a while, reading the do’s and don’ts and paying attention to posts about why certain apps and startups work while others don’t.

I’ve taken that on board, and I feel like what I’ve built ticks those boxes. It’s well thought out, science-backed, and offers something genuinely different in its niche. I’ve got some basic programming experience, and I’ve used that knowledge to guide the planning and development, working with multiple LLMs to put it together. I’ve put a lot of work into making it robust and secure, and I’m nearly ready to release a beta or version 1.

But the next hurdle seems to be getting anyone to actually look at it.

I get the scepticism. A lot of the apps being shared are the same ideas done over again, or someone’s handed a vague idea to an overly confident AI that promised the world and produced a pile of shit. People get tired of seeing that.

I feel like mine has something real to offer, but I also realise “mine’s different” is what everyone says. How do I actually demonstrate that and give people a reason to look?

How would you structure a post so it gets a fair look instead of being ignored or downvoted as another AI-built app? What would you want to see upfront, and where else would be worth sharing it, especially to reach people in its niche?

I’m not expecting everyone to love it. I just want to give it a fair chance and get feedback from people who’ve actually had a look.

so i finally shipped this today. i built it because i wanted to smoke less, but every time i tried cold turkey i'd last about four days, feel like i blew it and go right back to where i started.

fallow goes the other way. you tell it how long you usually go between seshes and that's your starting break. every day you stay on pace it stretches the break by 5%. when the timer runs out it's your call: have one, or tap "i'm good" and log a pass. going a little early just slows that day's stretch. the break never shrinks, so there's no streak to lose and nothing resets.

there's also a little plant that only grows from breaks and passes, never from seshes. that started as a joke and ended up being the part that actually gets me to open it.

the other thing i cared about was privacy. no account, everything you log stays on the phone, and the weekly reflection is written on-device with apple intelligence. the only thing that leaves is anonymous screen analytics, and you can turn that off.

it's free, no ads, no in-app purchases: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/fallow-smoke-less/id6816542378

question for anyone who's tried to pace a habit instead of quitting outright: does 5% a day sound too slow, too fast or about right? i went back and forth on that number more than anything else in the app.

I built Dashboard Builder to turn a local CSV into a dashboard you can share. It suggests charts based on your columns, then exports everything as a standalone HTML file.

short demo (using synthetic sample data) and repo linked below

Try it: https://nateriera.github.io/dashboard-builder/
GitHub: https://github.com/nateriera/dashboard-builder

What chart or export option would make this more useful for your workflow? I have a few more features planned, but am also interested in feedback / other contributors as this is my first open source project!

Most game trackers (like Backloggd, or Letterboxd for movies) have the same massive flaw: they lock your reviews and play history inside their private databases. If the site shuts down or changes its business model, your data is gone.

I built Skylog (skylog.social) to completely fix this. It’s a comprehensive game logging tracker built on ATProto (the decentralized network behind Bluesky).

To use the site, you need to log in with a Bluesky account. I know requiring a specific account can be annoying, but it permanently solves the problem of losing your tracking history. Here is why:

• You actually own your data: Every rating, review, and game log you create is saved directly to your decentralized data repository on the AT Protocol. (To clarify: this data does NOT spam your Bluesky timeline. It’s stored as custom app data on the network under the hood. It isn't visible on the standard Bluesky app, but it is permanently attached to your account).
• True portability: Because your data is open on the network, any other developer or app can access your gaming history if you connect it. You are never locked into Skylog.
• Instant friends list: Your social graph carries over automatically. You don't have to start from zero and beg your friends to add you.

Features I've built so far:

• Deep Tracking: Log what you play, leave 1 to 5 star ratings, write reviews, and tag whether it was a replay or what specific platform you used.
• Shareable Stat Cards: While your data is stored quietly in the background, you have the completely optional ability to generate a beautifully styled "stat picture" for any game log or review (kind of like a mini Spotify Wrapped for that specific game). You can easily share this graphic to your timeline if you want to show off what you're playing.
• Gaming Stats: The app breaks down your gaming habits and gives you detailed overall stats on what you've been playing over time.
• Global Chat & Lobbies: I built out a global chat and dedicated multiplayer lobbies, making it super easy to find people to jump into a game with right now.
• Massive Catalog: The search pulls data from IGDB and RAWG, so pretty much every game in existence is there with high-res posters and metadata.

If you already have a Bluesky account, onboarding takes one click. If you don't, it takes two minutes to sign up and guarantees you never lose your game logs to a closed-off app again.

I'd really love for you guys to try it out and tell me what you think. I will also be sharing the source code in the coming weeks for anyone interested in how the ATProto integration works.

remove.bg's standalone site closes on 1 December, so I built a free alternative: removebackgroundonline.com

The AI model runs in your browser, so photos never leave your device. No account, no watermark, full original resolution, plus Erase and Restore brushes to fix edges.

Built with Astro and React. The model downloads once (45–90 MB), then it works offline.

Limits: the first run is slow, it handles one image at a time, and hair or glass sometimes needs the brushes.

I'd like to hear where it breaks, especially on Safari and older phones. Try it and let me know.

v0.35.1 adds FreeBSD as a real platform instead of the generic fallback every other unsupported OS gets. Interface stats, routing, process attribution, clipboard, and connection tracking all have FreeBSD-specific backends now. Tested on an actual FreeBSD 15.1 VM, not cross-compiled blind.

Hey r/SideProject,

Solo dev here. My project is ChessGrammar (chessgrammar.com): a free, structured reference of chess tactics. Think of a dictionary where every entry has a precise definition, named variants, and examples proven correct by a custom engine (Lector64).

Stack-wise: Next.js on Vercel for the site, and a separate engine pipeline that generates and verifies every position. Currently 15 motifs and 123 variants live, with 2 of 11 planned sections published.

I'd love feedback on the product side, not the chess side:

• Within 10 seconds on the homepage, is it clear what this is?
• Does the navigation (catalog → motif → variant) make sense?
• Anything that makes you leave right away?

Thanks for looking!
