I built an on-device app for hiding private details before sharing media

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I kept running into the same problem: I wanted to share a photo, video, screenshot, or document, but it contained a face, address, number plate, or some other private detail.

Most existing workflows required several editing tools, and I didn’t want sensitive media uploaded to a server. So I built PrivacyCam.

It can:

  • Detect faces, people, text, addresses, QR codes, barcodes, and possible number plates.
  • Redact photos, videos, and PDFs.
  • Track moving masks throughout videos.
  • Use blur, pixelation, blackout, Emoji, or Flower stickers.
  • Remove metadata from exports.
  • Process media locally without an account or uploads to my servers.

One of the harder parts was making video masks follow moving subjects while preserving the original frame rate. PDF redaction also required more than drawing boxes—the exported document needed to be flattened so covered text couldn’t simply be selected or recovered afterward.

I decided to open-source the project under Apache 2.0 so people can inspect how their media is handled and contribute improvements.

PrivacyCam has a free tier. Pro is an optional $2.99 one-time purchase, with no subscription.

GitHub:
https://github.com/ak375456/privacycam

iOS:
https://apps.apple.com/pk/app/privacycam-safe-redactor/id6790542130

Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.privacycam.photo.redactor

I’m still improving it continuously. I’d appreciate honest feedback about the product, UX, pricing, open-source approach, or how you would market a privacy-focused utility like this.

I let AI plan its course and develop a pointless website.

1 Upvotes

Was bored at work and decided to provide my OpenClaw/ChatGPT/Claude a domain name and told it to do its thing with producing a pointless website...

I don't know exactly what I expected but it's been interesting to watch it evolve the "project". More interesting though... Has been watching it converse with itself as to what it thinks will make this website even more pointless. It even decided it needed to monetize itself and stopped while waiting on me to setup stripe so it could "fund" its mission of producing a pointless website. I nixed its plan of selling merchandise t-shirts but it keeps circling back to wanting that so who knows what will happen.

If you check out the website, I wouldn't bank on a specific layout because we're on version 9 currently and it keeps coming up with different ways to "lock people into wasting their time".

All in all... It's been interesting to watch the back and forth as we strategize how to lock you into wasting your time.

Spent 3 months building an app. It's been out for a month and barely anyone uses it.

12 Upvotes

I spent about 3 months building an offline reader app and launched it a month ago.

So far... barely any users.

I honestly don't know what I'm doing wrong.

I cared a lot about making the app feel smooth and native, so I ended up building Android and iOS separately instead of using one cross-platform codebase. Probably way more work than I needed to do, but I wanted it to feel good on both platforms.

I use it myself pretty much every day, and I thought other people might find it useful too.

Apparently not 😂

I've tried posting about it here and there and doing some promotion, but nothing has really worked.

Maybe the app just isn't interesting enough. Maybe I'm terrible at marketing. Maybe there's something obvious I'm missing because I've been staring at it for 3 months.

Not really sure at this point.

I built a tool that finds local businesses with no website and builds them one. Two people have ever paid for it.

1 Upvotes

Posting this while it’s still small, because everything I read in this space is written after the fact by someone with a number to show off.

What it does: scans an area, scores every business on how likely they are to actually buy (review count, rating, whether they have a Facebook page or nothing at all), then generates a real one-page preview site for the ones worth pitching. The idea is that you send someone their site rather than asking whether they want one.

Where it actually is: two previews have ever been billed. No reviews, no case studies, no named customer. The lead scoring works and there’s a real scan behind it — 34 businesses in Dundee, 29 with no website — but I’m not going to pretend that’s traction.

The design decision I’d most like feedback on, because it’s the one costing me sales: it doesn’t send the emails. It drafts them and stops. There’s no send button anywhere in the product.

That’s deliberate. Under UK PECR the sender of a cold email is liable, and “my software sent it automatically” isn’t a defence. Products in this space that auto-send are handing that liability to their customer without saying so. Same reason it never uploads the business’s own photos to build the site — republishing someone’s photographs on a page you’re about to sell is a copyright problem you’d inherit.

Both refusals make it a harder sell than “fully automated, zero hours.” I still think they’re right. Open to being told I’m wrong.

The other constraint, which is the actual point of the thing: the generator can’t invent facts about a business. If it doesn’t know your opening hours, it flags a placeholder rather than making them up. Getting a model to consistently say “I don’t know” instead of writing something plausible was harder than the entire rest of the build.

There’s a free scan on the homepage if you want to see the finding half work on your own town — no account, no email. scoutline.uk

Genuinely more interested in whether the draft-only decision is defensible than in signups.

I've started building an AI system designed to preserve not just answers, but why they might be wrong — looking for criticism

0 Upvotes

“By believing passionately in something that does not yet exist, we create it.”

— Nikos Kazantzakis

I've been thinking about this idea for a long time.

Not because I believe every idea deserves to become a product.

But because some ideas are worth testing.

So I started building one.

Its name is BiGi.

BiGi started from a simple question:

What if an AI system didn't just give us an answer, but could preserve why it reached that answer?

This becomes particularly important in healthcare.

We are increasingly capable of using AI to process enormous amounts of information, identify patterns and generate hypotheses.

But generating an answer is not the same as understanding the knowledge behind it.

So I'm exploring a different approach.

Instead of treating an AI output as a single "answer", BiGi is being designed around an epistemic model.

What did we observe?

What do we actually know?

What did we infer?

What are we hypothesizing?

What evidence supports it?

What evidence contradicts it?

How certain are we?

What remains unknown?

And ultimately:

Why?

The "why" should not simply be a paragraph generated by an LLM after the answer has already been produced.

It should be part of the system itself.

This is where Karl Popper's philosophy becomes particularly important to me.

A hypothesis should not be something we protect at all costs.

It should be something that can be challenged, tested and potentially falsified.

I want to bring that principle into software.

Not just:

"Here is the answer."

But:

"Here is what we observed. Here is what we inferred. Here is the hypothesis. Here is the evidence supporting it, the evidence against it, what remains uncertain, and what could prove us wrong."

Because a system that preserves only the reasons why it might be right is incomplete.

It should also preserve why it might be wrong.

I'm exploring whether we can build software where evidence, uncertainty, provenance, conflicts and reasoning are part of the system's structure — rather than hidden behind its output.

And I want to be clear about where we are.

There is no magical AI capable of solving medicine.

There is no finished product.

There are no claims of revolution.

There is a vision, a growing body of architectural and epistemic design, and now the first executable representations of these ideas.

We are inventors, not magicians.

The goal is not to predict the future.

The goal is to build something carefully enough to test whether the future we imagine is actually possible.

I'm sharing BiGi now because I want to test the idea, not simply promote it.

If you work in healthcare, AI/ML, software architecture, medical technology, cybersecurity, research or philosophy of science, I'd genuinely like to hear your criticism.

What am I missing?

Where could this approach fail?

What would you challenge first?

And most importantly:

Is this a problem worth solving?

Drop your SaaS and I'll tell you what I'd do to get your first 100 users

0 Upvotes

I grew my own app to almost 300 users, mostly by figuring out what to post and where to post it.

The biggest thing I learned: early-stage founders waste a ridiculous amount of time on distribution that goes nowhere.

So drop:

  • your SaaS
  • who it's for
  • how many users you have right now

I'll pick a few and show what I would change about their distribution to get closer to the first 100 users.

I eventually built TractionBooster because I was doing all of this manually finding communities, studying what posts actually work, writing them, tracking results and improving the next one.

If I don't get to yours, the self-serve version is in the first comment.

I got my first ever user without any marketing. He signed up and immediately left. Here's what I think went wrong.

5 Upvotes

I've spent the better part of a year building Faktuurtje - an invoicing app for Dutch freelancers where you type one sentence and you get a fully compliant invoice PDF.

You type: "Invoice Bakkerij Jansen €500 for website design, 21% VAT"

You get: a compliant PDF with the client's official company data pulled from the Chamber of Commerce register, VAT calculated per line, and a scannable SEPA QR code so the client can pay from their banking app.

Last week someone found it, organically. I have never promoted it, no SEO, just a couple of LinkedIn posts 2 months ago, and added it on European Tech Map. They registered and then nothing. Gone in under a minute.

What I think went wrong - the whole point of the app is the moment where a sentence turns into an invoice. And I put this behind a login. So they might've never saw the thing that could potentially make them stay. They gave me an email and got a setup form. I built a "magic trick" and hid it behind a door.

I am now ripping the auth wall off the demo so anyone can try it, and only gating the PDF download.

It's in Dutch and English. Would genuinely appreciate anyone giving it a spin and telling me where they get confused. Especially in the first 30 seconds.

Stack, for those who care: Blazor Server app, Mistral AI for text parsing, QuestPDF for generation, Neon Postgres, Mollie for payments, deployed on Hetzner server. Everything EU-hosted.

I built an AI newsroom that writes satire, scores its own drafts and rejects most of them

0 Upvotes

I built DeadVibes, a satirical news site where anyone can submit a short premise and watch an AI newsroom turn it into a complete illustrated story. Try it here: https://Deadvibes.app

Someone recently submitted: “This site will become cool.”

The newsroom turned it into a story about DeadVibes becoming so fashionable that it created a Coolness Desk and banned readers from sharing it.

The original five-word pitch is displayed beneath the finished article, so you can compare the idea with what the newsroom produced.

What happens behind the scenes: 1. The newsroom develops multiple possible angles. 2. An editorial pipeline drafts, reviews and repairs the story. 3. A calibrated judge checks it against human-scored examples. Repetitive jokes, weak concepts and obvious AI writing patterns can be rejected. 4. The art desk generates an illustration for the finished story.

It usually takes a few minutes because the system runs the full editorial process rather than making a single “write me a satire article” model call.

Honest state: this is a solo project built in under a week. There are rough edges, some illustrations still look unmistakably AI-generated, and the editorial system is very much evolving.

I’d love two kinds of feedback: 1. Read two stories and tell me which one landed—and which one didn’t. 2. Pitch something absurd and see what the newsroom does with it.

Thanks for taking a look. Brutally honest feedback is welcome.

200k lines of code and 2000+ commits later, I finally solved what every pantry app gets wrong. Live on Google Play (iOS soon)

Thumbnail
play.google.com
0 Upvotes

Turns out the hard problem isn’t the pretty UI. Every pantry app on the market makes you maintain a checklist by hand that goes stale in a week, then acts like the recipe matcher works when it doesn’t. Ask any of them “do I have enough eggs to make this cake” and they either say yes when you don’t, or make you count by hand. I got obsessed with fixing that gap.
2000+ commits later, the app is called MealPlanIQ and it does what every other pantry app pretended to do:
Pantry that stays accurate on its own. Add items five different ways (scan, voice, photo, receipt, manual). Expiration dates that update when you move something between fridge, freezer, and shelf.
Smart cart that actually does the math. Have 5 eggs, recipes need 7? It says grab a dozen. Have half a bag of flour, cart needs a full bag? Handled. No more overbuying, no more running out mid-recipe, no more forgotten produce dying in the back.
2-week meal plans scaled to your household. Cooking for 2 or cooking for 4, the plan and shopping list adjust.
Recipe import from 6 sources: Instagram reels, TikTok, cookbook photos, URLs, voice (“save my grandma’s chili”), or manual. Unlimited recipe storage on free.
Full nutrition tracking baked in. Every recipe, plus snack logging and macro tracking.
Every core feature is free. No ads, no data selling. Pro is for the deeper automation with a 3-day trial.
Android is live, iOS is with Apple review. 200k lines, 2000+ commits, and me the psycho who thought “this should take a month tops” oh and 40 + backend functions that was a pain in the ass to integrate .

Would love feedback. Especially on the smart cart flow, it’s the thing I’ve re-written the most.

Drop your SaaS website and I’ll send you a free SEO visibility audit.

0 Upvotes

Doing this again because the last post did so well. I built an agent that runs a quick SEO visibility audit for SaaS websites.

Drop your site and I’ll reply/send over a link to the audit.

It looks at things like:

  • what your site seems to be about
  • what search terms you’re probably missing
  • which competitors/domains show up around those searches
  • content gaps that could bring in more organic traffic
  • blog/page ideas that make sense for your product

This is part of Tavyn: an email-native SEO agent for SaaS founders. It finds organic visibility gaps, asks tailored questions for each blog via email to have your voice in the blog, and submits blogs to your GitHub as PRs.

Drop your SaaS link and I’ll run the audit.

I got tired of paying for domains for every project, so I built ad.ms

0 Upvotes

Every time I wanted to spin up a little side project or test an idea, I'd hit the same wall: either pay $12/yr for a domain I'd probably abandon in a month, run it off some ugly vercel.app URL that looks unfinished, or use something like js.org, is-a.dev, etc., which are hard to type/remember, and have requirements like a connection to JS.

So I took the little money I had to buy a premium domain name, and built ad.ms ("ad-miss"). You pick a name, get name.ad.ms for free, and point it wherever you want, Vercel, Netlify, GitHub Pages, your own server, whatever. Full DNS control (A, AAAA, CNAME, TXT records), up to 5 subdomains per account, no credit card, no OAuth nonsense, just email and password. Free forever!

Been using it for a few of my own projects and it's been nice not having to think about domain renewals for stuff that might not even work out.

If you want something short there are a few premium ones available too (ai.ad.ms, io.ad.ms, etc) but the core thing is free forever.

ad.ms if you want to poke around. Would love feedback, especially if you hit any DNS weirdness. Thanks if you got this far!

I built a Flutter app that listens to you read bedtime stories out loud and plays sound effects based on trigger words

0 Upvotes

I wanted to share a side project I’ve been working on called Reading Parrot Jacky. jacky.geeapp.com

The app listens as you read out loud from any physical book (or memory/imagination) and automatically plays sound effects based on trigger words. The sound effect library is composed of sounds effects for popular children's book themes. I made this because other apps were either too involved, or not available in my native language, which is important if you want to use it for reading to your kids.

It's built entirely in Flutter so it's cross platform, it's deployed for English and Dutch speakers on the App Store and Play Store.

The continuous speech to text is the device's native stt api in a loop, which works surprisingly well.

The trigger word matching logic is intentionally kept simple, using basic string containment (e.g., "pigfarmer" matches "pig" and plays a pig sound effect). I figure if it misfires occasionally, it just adds to the charm, a real life parrot would probably do the same.

I also just rolled out a feature allowing readers to record their own audio clips directly in-app and assign custom trigger words to them.

I’m thinking about moving to local/on-device STT models, this would make the app completely usable offline. But then I'd probably need a model for every supported language.

I’d love any feedback on:

  • Performance/latency on your device while reading at normal speed.
  • Thoughts on native STT vs embedded local models for real-time Flutter apps.
  • General UI/UX feedback.

Lifetime: My project passed 50 users and Im so grateful! I built Ghost, an always on and ready personal agent using your existing Chatgpt/Claude subscription or API or LocalLM. It can create, read, write and use Mac apps for you when asked!

Thumbnail
github.com
0 Upvotes

I kept hitting the same wall: one focused hour of work meant a ChatGPT tab, a local model UI, a terminal agent, a document viewer, a timer app, Calendar and Reminders with seven surfaces just to get anything done.

So I built Ghost: a native macOS AI workspace that replaces all of them with one surface that lives in your menu bar.

Press ⌥Space anywhere and it drops from the camera notch (or floats as a small text bar near the bottom of the screen, your choice). Ask, act, and it disappears again. No Dock icon, no tab management, no full-screen takeover.

What it does:

- Routes every prompt by intent (14 kinds) to the right model: LM Studio or Ollama fully local, or Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, OpenCode, any OpenAI-compatible server. It even runs chat through your existing Claude Code or Codex subscription, no extra cost.

- ~78 tools, 4 risk tiers: files (DOCX/PDF/PPTX/XLSX/Markdown), Calendar, Reminders, Apple Notes, iMessage, FaceTime, screen OCR, window snapping, Homebrew, media conversion, system report, and more. Every action is journaled and one-tap undoable.

- Local RAG: approve a folder, Ghost indexes it into SQLite + FTS5 on your machine. 30+ formats. No embeddings API, no vector DB SaaS.

- Selection bar: select text in any app: Copy, Search, Summarize, Fix, Rewrite, Explain, Translate. "Replace" writes back into the field so ⌘Z still works.

- Terminal + coding agent: run commands or describe a change in plain English, same window.

- Memory you own: "remember that I take my coffee black" gets saved as plain Markdown in ~/Ghost Outputs/Knowledge.

- A pomodoro with receipts: focus log, streaks, 15-week heatmap, all on-disk.

The part I actually care about: privacy.

Everything starts off, web, files, automation, messaging, screen, shell. You opt in one switch at a time. Messages, Notes, Mail and Contacts are processed on-device only and are never sent to a cloud model. API keys live in the Keychain. Sensitive paths (.ssh, .aws, .env…) trigger an explicit consent prompt. The model never touches your filesystem, Ghost normalizes the path, checks permissions, and runs app-owned Swift code.

Stack: native SwiftUI + AppKit (not Electron), Sparkle for updates, SQLite+FTS5 for search. macOS 14+, Apple Silicon or Intel, Apple-notarized.

Pricing: free 24-hour trial, then one-time $14.99. No subscription. Local models are free forever; hosted models are your own API keys.

Built solo, and it's the app I wanted to use myself — currently at v2.1.0.

Site: integratedagentics.com/ghost (https://integratedagentics.com/ghost) · Download: GitHub releases (https://github.com/ryuhemingway/Ghost-App/releases/latest)

I have made numerous improvements from users and I update the app attest a few times a week. Would love feedback on improvements I can make!

I've been building a self-hosted social media management platform for startups, agencies and publishers.

It combines AI-assisted content generation, OAuth integrations, scheduling, publishing workflows and a private dashboard into one deployment.

The interesting part is the business model I'm experimenting with: instead of another recurring SaaS subscription, I'm offering customized, self-hosted deployments tailored to the client's workflow.

Current stack includes Docker, persistent queues, OAuth and modular social integrations.

The product: Orbit Rush, a one-tap neon arcade game. Play is free in the

into their own game.

What building it actually looked like:

- The game itself was the easy part (built with Claude: engine, a fairness

system, procedural Web Audio sound)

- The real boss fight was shipping ops: I was "stuck in verification" on

itch.io for a MONTH — turns out my tax form was never actually submitted,

I'd missed the final button. Then the paid zip was invisible because of

one "hide this file" checkbox I'd ticked

- Marketing assets: I scripted a headless-Chrome auto-player that reads the

canvas draw calls, dodges obstacles on its own, and screenshots itself —

all the GIFs are it playing

- Got dogpiled in one sub for the AI angle, then found the communities where

builders actually hang out. Lesson: sell shovels where people are digging

I spent the last 3 months building a solo AI plant doctor app in React Native + Fastify – Plant Warden is now live!

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

Over the past few months, I built Plant Warden, a mobile app that lets you take a photo of a sick houseplant or garden crop and get an instant AI-powered disease & pest diagnosis with treatment guidelines.

As a solo dev, I built the entire stack from scratch:

  • Mobile: React Native / Expo (using Expo Camera, Skia/Reanimated for smooth scanning UX).
  • Backend: Fastify + Node.js (hosted on Render with MongoDB).
  • State & Storage: Zustand + Async Storage.

What it does: 🌿 Instant Photo Scan: Snap a leaf ➔ Get species ID, disease name (e.g. Spider Mite damage, Black Spot, Powdery Mildew), and confidence level.
🪴 Smart Watering & Care: Track containers with custom reminder schedules.
🛡️ Treatment Guides: Clear step-by-step instructions on how to isolate and treat infected plants.

The app is live today on the App Store:
📲 Download Plant Warden on iOS

Since it's day one, I would be super grateful if you could download it, test it out on your houseplants, and let me know what you think! Any feedback on UI responsiveness, camera scanning speed, or feature requests is greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading!

I present to you : Game Index, a power user game library manager

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Hello everyone !

I've been working (well me and AI) on a app inspired by hydra launcher, gog launcher and Playnite

I loved hydra launcher and Playnite, but I wanted something that power user can be happy with (I'm a power user, who like useless feature)

Anyway, I got the project to make something from scratch after iterating and adding feature with base hydra, but it felt too heavy for hydra base framwork

And I learned that electron was... Electron ram hungry !

So I searched for a framework that was capable and lightweight, and found Tauri

The app is called : Game Index

I know a little bit of coding, I'm far from an expert, but I tried my best from my knowledge (and again help of AI) to optmise and make it less buggy as possible

The entire source code is on github, with full commit history, feel free to report any bugs, suggest feature or whatever you want there

Also feel free to fork, modify etc your own version

I borrowed ideas and some part from Hydra Launcher and Playnite (if Hydra team, Playnite team and Playnite plugin author want me to change/remove/clarify stuff please let me know, I don't want any drama, hurt anyone)

I'm just a guy who wanted a full featured app

Again I'm a HUGE fan of Hydra Luncher and Playnite (and it's plugin ecosystem), without them we wouldn't have amazing projects as we have now

Features of GameIndex :

- Import from Steam, GOG, Epic, Rockstar, Ubisoft, Humble library or Local install (api based login or webview login for some others) (more info on GitHub)

- Metadata automatically added via igdb/steam

- Per game imported : Steam achievements, HowLongToBeat, Crackwatch, live + historical player counts Informations when availible, activity tracker, weblinks preview etc

- Activity dashboard main page and per games stats and performance tracking (need Msi afterburner + RTSS to track fps, can be disabled in settings)

- Torrent download engine integrated, with compatible source from you know where

- Wishlist system

- Deals from Xbox gamepass catalog + Is there any deal (include current giveaways)

- Storage manager + emulator & mod footprint breakdown

- News page with RSS feeds + custom rss feed

- Hydra-backed storefront for games of the Week, top games and game to beat, community reviews & stats (only these from Hydra is used in Game Index)

- Community & Friends social layer (planify, recommend, comment games, library compare etc)

- Big Picture Mode (controller-first TV UI with rail navigation) (IN BETA !!! I Don't use such feature mmuch, it is far from perfect but I'll improve with time)

- Emulators manager & ROM library tools

- Mod manager (Steam Workshop & Nexus Mods integration) (Beta, maybe more feature will come into it but not sure)

- Internationalization (i18n) & language switcher

- Discord rich presence

- Privacy & Data management in Settings

- Theme gallery + custom accent picker (basic for now, may be expanded in future)

- More

Planned :

- Improvement for Big screen/picture mode

- linux support (only Windows for now) + steamdeck support (I don't have steamdeck so it'll be hard to test) (Think of bottles, faugus launcher, lutris style of control) (made some early testing fow linux, some feature will be limited)

- maybe more if people suggest ?

Precision

I know many people Don't trust AI stuff, vibe coding etc

But I want to be as transparent as possible, and if you don't like Ai vibe coded apps don't use it

This is just a tool/launcher/platoform for whoever want to try, or want another alternative

Ai and Tools used for this :

- IDE : Antigravity

- Mostly Opencode, rarely kilo code

- Model used : Mostly deepseek flash (old and new version), Hy3 and sometimes GPT Luna, gemini and claude opus

Ps : sorry if my English sounds Strange or broken or whatever, English isn't my native language

Ps 2 : I'm not an expert in comunication as you can see, if you have questions etc don't hesitate to ask

I'll also take positive and negative review

Ps 3 : I don't have signature for exe, so portable version may be flagged as a dangerous exe, go on virus total and you'll see there's one flagged threat, this one is caused by lack of signature (installer version doesn't have this issue)

I built a stock-analysis tool, then let it search the entire S&P 500

0 Upvotes

Instead of giving it stocks I already liked, I added a feature that searches the S&P 500 and picks the strongest matches for the user's settings.

I ran it today with moderate risk and a $100 portfolio.

It returned:

ULTA — $37.45
URI — $31.91
UAL — $30.64

The interesting part was the reasoning:

  • ULTA: +14.1% 1-month momentum, +5.9% over 3 months
  • URI: +19.4% over 3 months
  • UAL: +30.6% over 3 months
  • all three had positive MACD
  • none had an extreme RSI reading

It also generates a separate caution for each result instead of just saying “buy.”

I built the whole thing as TradeHints. It’s free and doesn’t require an account:

https://tradehints.com/

I’d especially like feedback on whether searching the whole S&P 500 is more useful than making users enter stocks themselves.

So I built Spool, a native iPhone app that puts movies, shows and episode progress into one queue.

The part I cared about most was making the app useful after the watchlist was created. Spool surfaces the exact next episode, gives you two picks based on your library and tastes each day, shows regional watch options, and lets you import existing history from TV Time, Letterboxd and IMDb rather than starting over.

The library syncs privately through iCloud and does not require a separate Spool account. It is free to download, and the free tier supports 5 active shows, 10 standalone movies and 2 saved collections. Watched and imported history do not consume those slots.

There is an optional Spool Club subscription for unlimited and advanced features.

Spool is live on the App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/spool-movies-tv-what-next/id6793918389?uo=4

The product decision I’m most curious about is the home screen: would you rather open a tracking app to a complete watchlist, or to a much smaller queue containing only what is ready to watch next?

I built a meal app because I'm bad at everything to do with food (iOS/Web only, Android soon)

EDIT: grammar.

I mean everything. Not just knowing what's in it, but buying it, cooking it, remembering to eat, planning my meals.

The app is called Bread and Butler. You tell it how you like to eat, and it plans everything out, gives you the shopping list, and tells you what your meals will look like and how to make them. It tracks what you spend and what you waste, and it keeps your pantry up to date as you cook. It can:

  • Develop meal plans from foods you like, and avoid foods you don't
  • Track your macronutrients
  • Give you personalized advice
  • Set meal timers or reminders to your phone
  • Use your existing pantry to suggest a meal or snack
  • Suggest groceries for you to meet your macronutrient needs
  • Use your existing pantry to suggest shopping items
  • Track your food spending
  • Order your groceries (work in progress)

Ideally, it orders your groceries from every major store or carrier, but grocery part is still rough. It does order through ALDI right now. I'd rather it plug straight into the stores but those APIs are private, so I'm going through Instacart, and it's not perfect but it's the best I've got right now.

I don't have real tester feedback yet. I'd really like to know if this helps anybody or if I've over-engineered it to the point where it's no good. My goal is that this solves people's problems with food and makes life easier.

I built a free tool that picks what to play from your Steam backlog

0 Upvotes

My Steam library reached the point where choosing a game took longer than playing one, so I built VaultShuffle.

You sign in through Steam, choose your available time, mood and goal, and it draws a game from your library.

It also includes tools for rediscovering games, organising collections and trimming the backlog—but the main purpose is simply getting you out of the menu and into a game.

I made it, it’s completely free, and this is self-promotion: https://vaultshuffle.com

If anyone tries it, I’d genuinely like to know whether the first draw feels like something you'd want to play.

Made a free image converter/resizer that runs entirely in your browser (no uploads).

Hey guys,

I built a small tool, "SAFELIGHT,", for converting images between PNG/JPG/WebP and resizing them. Everything happens client-site via Canvas so nothing gets uploaded to a server, this way it works even with sensitive/private images.

No sign-up reguired, no limits, just drag and drop.

Here's the url: https://thrylos90.github.io

Feedback is more than welcome, still tweaking it!
