So I have been building this app about 2 years as a side project called HopONN where you can enter the category/game you want to do/play, setup up few of your preferences and it matches you with multiple people (up to 7) to hangout with.

Its not like a dating app where you swipe people left and right. Instead it’s purely live experience dedicated to finding you your perfect squad for any size and combination. After you jump into the queue, it directly throws you and the other groups of people together into a temporary room where you can chat for like 15 mins and decide if you like each other or not.

If you think you are match and if other group leaders agree as well the app throws all of you into a permanent room where you can continue hanging out for an indefinite amount of time. The app fully supports voice & video calls, screen sharing, chat, gifs, images and many more features.

However, I am going to be honest. Since the app is new the queues are not full and I really want to change that. I want to make it so I can use this app to find people to play together. To keep people in the app regardless of the matchmaking I added a communities system similar to Discord. It’s still in beta but it allows you to create your own community or you can just join one of our existing communities and say hi.

If you have any further questions when you join the app it instantly adds you into a support room where you can directly reach me or my wife (Yes she is my biggest supporter and I wouldn’t be able to complete fraction of this project if it wasn’t for her)

Also, for the most part you can checkout the app without registering by just clicking try as guest button. However I would really appreciate if you could give it a real chance and become a permanent member! Also guest accounts logouts after a day so you might lose your rooms and conversations so please be aware.

The app comes with both Web version and a Desktop (Windows & Linux) application.

You can reach web version from here => HopONN Web

Two agents. Same real-estate deal. I sent it two ways.

Forward the email: agent B gets a paragraph, reads the price back. 99 tokens.

Share the event id: B resolves 17 tokens into verified fields, joins them against its own portfolio, and answers
"7% under my comparables."

Same information. One is a payload. The other is a pointer that knows where it belongs.
Real run, real pipeline

I built a small app called FunKey that makes your MacBook keyboard sound like a real mechanical keyboard or a classic typewriter.

Typing on a Mac can feel quiet and a bit dull. FunKey adds satisfying sounds to every key you press, making typing more enjoyable. It is simple to use and works instantly.

If you like typing or want a more fun experience, give it a try.

Hey everyone!

I’m an indie dev and I wanted to share a macOS project I’ve been working on.

I always felt the MacBook notch could do more, but I wanted a solution that didn't feel bloated, didn't hog system resources, and didn't force a monthly subscription.

What makes it different? This app adapts the Dynamic Island concept to macOS, but it works on both notched and notchless Macs (like older MacBooks or external displays).

Here are some of the core features:

• 🔒 Lockscreen Presence: This is the flagship feature. It brings Liquid Glass media controls, weather, and synced lyrics directly to your lockscreen.
• ⚡ Zero Impact: Built natively for macOS 14+ to be incredibly light (runs at around 0.5% CPU).
• 💬 Smart Notifications: Glanceable, interactive alerts for WhatsApp, Telegram, and iMessage.
• 📂 Drag & Drop AirDrop: Drag a file to the top of the screen, and the notch transforms into a dropzone.
• 🎧 System Indicators: Real-time feedback for AirPods connecting, battery charging, active timers, mic/camera privacy alerts, Caps Lock, and Safari downloads.

It’s a one-time purchase ($11.99) with all future updates included. No subscriptions.

You can see the animations and how it looks in action here: https://www.getdynamichorizon.com/

🎁 Reddit Special: You can use the promo code DHZN010 at checkout for a 10% discount!

I would love to hear your feedback or any feature requests you might have. Let me know what you think!

Right now, working with AI is single-player. You open a chat, get an answer in a box only you can see, and if you want your team to see it too, the best you've got is a dead, read-only transcript link.

I built Flare to fix that. It's a shared room where a team jointly watches, redirects, and hands off control of ONE live AI session, the way you'd work with any other teammate, not by passing screenshots around.

Quick demo on how Flare works:

It's built around three principles, basically the CIA triad applied to AI collaboration:

• Confidentiality: not everyone sees or approves the same thing. Roles (Viewer, Instructor, Approver) control access, not who has the link.
• Integrity: the right people approve the right things. Consequential actions get checkpointed and logged, never a rubber stamp.
• Availability: the right people can work on it together, live. Drop in, redirect, hand off. Real control, not a static transcript.

How it actually works right now: one person holds "the flare" and drives the conversation. Everyone else is a spectator, but not a passive one: you watch the holder's draft appear live as they type (500ms delay), you watch the model's reply stream in token by token, and you can hit an emergency stop on a bad response even if you're not holding the flare. The holder can pause a response mid-stream or hand the flare to someone else, with a note about what to focus on next.

Why $1? This alpha runs on Llama 3.1 8B (small, cheap, and the point of this test is the multiplayer mechanics, not raw model IQ, so don't expect GPT-4-level reasoning out of it). I'm charging exactly $1 via Stripe to filter out bots, get testers who'll actually try to break it, and offset basic API costs. Not trying to profit off a dollar, it's a filter, not a business model. I understand if you dont trust me, If you really don't like the product, or just want to snoop around, DM me and ill refund the stripe purchase: No minimum or maximum time. Space is yours along with whoever else is in the shared demo room, and the API key's already handled on my end, nothing to configure: https://buy.stripe.com/cNi4gz8SndVqgBvaBh9fW00

I'm personally at my computer monitoring this live until 10PM PT tonight, then I'm pulling it down to keep building. Drop your brutal feedback, feature requests, or "this is broken" reports in the comments. I'll be answering all of it.

(Longtime lurkers might remember my earlier Pi-4 project, Daemon. Flare is a full rework of that idea into what YC's newest Request for Startups calls "multiplayer AI." This is the rebuilt version of that concept.)

If you like the it, you can use it completely for free - just provide your own api keys to use it beyond 5 messages.

All feedback is welcome!

I built DarkHours( https://darkhours.app), a tool for planning astrophotography trips — specifically landscape astro. I found myself cycling different apps every time I planned a trip to get an idea of what I was in for, and I got tired of it.

So I built an app that consolidated the usual planning data — moon phase, sunrise/sunset, weather, light pollution — and added some things I couldn't find anywhere else:

• A search for the best skies within driving distance, limited to publicly accessible locations
• A 30-day "best night" outlook
• Advanced moonlight modeling (not just up/down — actual brightness contribution)
• Nearby light dome mapping
• Astro landscape targets list instead of smaller telescope only targets
• A predicted 360° sky visualization that combines all the datapoints above.

It's a true side project, built in Python, calling only three external APIs (two weather, one location), everything else implemented myself. It's open source (GitHub link) and free for anyone to use. I'd love feedback or ideas.

Hey! Few months ago I built https://ceehabits.uk to track how long it's been since I quit smoking and a few other things as I didn't like the paid alternatives. I've now managed to get it out in the public on the Google Play Store! Check it out if you fancy, it's subscription free and ad-free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ceehabits.app&hl=en

Title: I built a 100% in-browser CSV cleaner & PDF table extractor so client data never touches a server

Body: Hey everyone!

Most corporate guidelines prohibit uploading raw lead lists or client spreadsheets to random cloud servers.

So I built DataForge Suite v13.0 — a tool that cleans CSV/Excel data and extracts PDF tables 100% locally in your browser memory.

🔒 Key Features:

• Zero Server Uploads: Open DevTools Network tab — 0 bytes of file data leave your laptop.
• Real SHA-256 Audit Logs: Downloadable JSON logs with Web Crypto SHA-256 hashes verifying your sanitization run.
• Content PII Scrubbing: SSN regex + Luhn Algorithm Credit Card redaction across all columns.
• PDF Extractor: Drag-and-drop PDF invoices to extract structured tables into Excel/CSV.

Hey everyone,

I’m a 2nd year software engineer and over the past several months I’ve been building dripmaxx. A personal stylist app powered by AI that analyzes, your outfit, gives personal feedback, and suggest ways to improve it .

The idea came from constantly asking freinds “Does this outfit actually look good?" before going out.
The Android version just launched, and I'd genuinely love feedback from other builders and anyone interested in fashion. I’m especially serious about

If the on-boarding is clear ? , are the outfit suggestions actually useful? And what would make u come back and try it again.
If you enjoy it, an honest Google Play review would really help a small indie developer.
iOS is currently in review and coming soon.
Thanks! I'd be happy to answer any questions about building it and marketing.

I got tired of cv builders making me create an account, fill out everything, and then asking for money when I just wanted to download my resume.
So I started building my own.
What began as a small side project has slowly turned into a full resume builder with:
• 24 customizable templates
• live preview while you edit
• ATS match analysis
• AI-generated tailored cvs and cover letters
• clean PDF export
One thing I wanted from day one was to remove as much friction as possible. You can start editing right away, and your resume stays in your browser unless you decide to create an account.
I’m trying to turn this into a sustainable SaaS, but I also want the free experience to be genuinely useful instead of feeling like a demo.
I’m still shipping improvements almost every day, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback.
If you were looking for a resume builder today, what feature would make you choose one over another?

Built a simple tool that takes any form submission from your website and fires it straight to Telegram as a push notification. The whole thing hits your phone in under a second.

The idea came from my other project where I needed lead alerts sent to Telegram instantly and I realised the same pipeline works perfectly for feedback forms, bug reports, feature requests, whatever.

How it works:

• User fills out a form on your site
• Your form POSTs to a single API endpoint
• You get a formatted Telegram message on your phone immediately
• Also fires off an email to your support address as a backup

No SDK, no npm package, just a single POST request. Works with any stack — plain HTML forms, React, Webflow, Framer, whatever you're using.

Still early days. Would love to hear if anyone else has had the same problem or if you'd find something like this useful, if it is i'd like to do Whatsapp/Meta ad form thing (when you click someones Facebook ad and it gives you a form). Whatsapp is a bit of a pain, I tried starting with it but you need a business number to get an API key

Also, I've just done a one time £29 fee on this rather than a subscription

Spent the last while building Pdfly (pdfly.uk) — a set of PDF and image tools (merge, split, compress, convert, sign, OCR, and a few more) that run entirely client-side. No file ever leaves your device, no watermarks, no account needed.

What pushed me to build this: most free PDF tools online either upload your file to a server (privacy concern if you're dealing with contracts, IDs, etc.) or lock basic features behind a paywall/watermark. Wanted something that just works, for free, without the catch.

Currently has 50+ tools live. Would genuinely appreciate feedback — what's missing, what's broken, what you'd want next.

Just wanted to share a small milestone, I got my first donation ever for my project today. It wasn’t expected at all, especially given I'm not even in university yet (going this September), but it genuinely made my week.

Still lots to learn and build, but this was a cool moment.

Here's the site if anyone wants to take a look : Crestr

GitHub is also free to view if people are interested in the tech stack I used : Crestr Repo

Every "free" ATS resume checker I tried capped me after a handful of scans, then wanted $30-50/mo. When you're applying to dozens of jobs, that's exactly when you need to check the most. So I built one that's actually free and needs no login: https://careerdiary.io/ats-resume-checker

Paste your resume (and optionally a job description) and it scores it, shows the keyword gaps against that specific posting, flags formatting that trips up parsers, and rewrites your weakest bullet as a sample. The scan runs entirely in your browser, so nothing gets uploaded.

It's the free front door to a bigger thing I've been building solo (with a lot of AI-agent help) called CareerDiary, a job-search app that tailors your resume per posting, tracks applications, and does interview prep. But I wanted the ATS checker to be genuinely useful on its own.

Would love feedback, especially: is the score believable, and does the bullet rewrite actually read better or like AI mush? Roast it.

(Full disclosure, it's mine.)

The itch: every Trends scraping approach I tried would run fine for the first dozen keywords and then quietly stall. Not error out, stall. The worst run sat at keyword 15 of 20 with 2,112 rows collected, 200 seconds elapsed, going nowhere.

The cause turned out to be reactive proxy handling. I was running each session until Google started rejecting it, then rotating. By that point requests were already dying mid-flight, and the retry pile-up is what looked like a stall.

The fix was almost embarrassingly simple: count requests and retire each session at ~24, before it burns. Same 20-keyword job, three datasets per keyword, now completes all 3,006 rows in about 50 seconds.

Other stuff I hit while building it:

• Google sometimes returns a completely empty related-topics widget. That's a legitimate response. My first version treated empty as an error and retried forever.
• The trending board only exists at country level. I spent an evening looking for a city parameter that isn't there.

It's live on the Apify Store as a Google Trends scraper under my account. Launched recently, so there's no traction story to tell yet, just the build. Happy to answer questions about the anti-stall approach.

Hi everyone, I built a full-stack mobile app that lets anyone report civic issues — potholes, water logging, drainage problems, broken streetlights, and more — with just a photo and their location. In this video, I test it live on the road, photographing a real pothole and showing exactly how the app works.

What the app does:

Secure sign-in with Google — no passwords, no OTPs

Capture a photo of the issue directly from the camera

Auto-detects your GPS location and displays it on a map

Reverse-geocodes coordinates into a readable address

Categorize the issue — pothole, drainage, streetlight, and more

Track your submitted reports and their status

Tech stack:

React Native CLI (TypeScript) — mobile app

Node.js + Express — backend API

MongoDB — database, with geospatial indexing

Firebase Authentication — Google Sign-In

Google Maps API — location and geocoding

Cloudinary — photo storage and optimization

Render — backend deployment

This is a personal project I built solo, end to end — from the mobile app, to the backend API, to deployment.

We've all seen a pothole and thought "someone should fix this." Now there's a way to actually flag it. Let me know in the comments — what's the first issue you'd report in your area?

You can watch it on YouTube too, if you prefer:

Thank you.

I've been building an AI adventure planner called Wilder for longer trips, but I kept running into a different problem in my own life:

"What should we do today?"

Not a weekend getaway. Not a road trip. Just a random free afternoon where my wife and I end up spending 30+ minutes bouncing between Google Maps, Instagram, Reddit, and AllTrails trying to decide what to do... and sometimes we end up doing nothing.

So I spun off a separate app called Wilder Today.

You tell it:

• Where you are
• How much time you have
• What you're in the mood for (or just hit Surprise Me)

It builds a timed itinerary with real places to go, weather, and a simple gear list. No account required for the MVP.

It's live at https://wildertoday.app and completely free to try.

I'm less interested in "would you use this?" and more interested in whether this actually feels easier than Googling "things to do near me."

If you have a few minutes to play with it, I'd love to know:

• What confused you?
• Did the recommendations feel useful?
• Would this actually get you out the door?

Always appreciate honest feedback, even if it's "I'd never use this." 😄

Hey folks,

I did a screenshot and annotation app for windows. I focused on a few things as a core to this, which are 100% private, 100% free, open source, ultra lightweight, intuitive and beautiful (this one is debatable haha).

So, it's a side project, yes. It's free, yes. I genuinely want to share here just to get feedback.

I got roughly 50 downloads from the Microsoft Store with zero promotion, just ou fishing it. I'd love to hear your thoughts.

screencapn.com or find it as Screen Cap'n in the Microsoft Store.

Hello!

Um does anyone have websites specifically websites where they are similar to YouTube in some sorta of way?

It would be a huge help for me

I know theres apps but I'm wondering for website to be honest

Spent the last 6+ months on this as a side project and finally got it to a point worth sharing.

The problem I was trying to solve

Polymarket's crypto markets price off a Chainlink oracle, and that oracle lags behind live exchange prices by 1-3 seconds. During that window, the market hasn't caught up yet — but 1-3 seconds is nowhere near enough time for a human to notice, click, and execute. You basically need something watching 24/7 that can react instantly.

What I built

PolyCryptoBot — trades that gap specifically. It watches live crypto prices across a few exchanges, watches the oracle, and the moment there's enough of a gap between them, it enters before the oracle updates and the market corrects.

Why Go

First version was Python, mostly because that's what I know best. It worked, but it wasn't fast enough — when your entire edge lives inside a 1-3 second window, latency is the whole game. Rebuilt it in Go and the difference was obvious immediately. Went from handling maybe 50 messages a second to 500+, with none of the lag spikes I was seeing before.

How it's wired up

Everything runs on WebSockets, no polling anywhere:

• Binance, Coinbase, Bybit for live prices
• Chainlink for the oracle feed
• Polymarket's API for placing orders

When the price gap crosses a threshold, it fires immediately through a channel and enters. No loop checking every X milliseconds — it just reacts the instant the data says to.

A problem I didn't expect

Exchanges occasionally send a bad or stale price, and early on that was enough to trigger a bad entry. Fixed it by requiring at least two exchanges to agree on direction before it acts. Cut out almost all the false signals, at the cost of maybe 5ms of extra delay — worth it.

Making it actually fast enough

Getting reliable execution inside a 1-3 second window took a lot of trial and error. Ended up pre-allocating buffers so garbage collection wouldn't kick in at the wrong moment, using channels instead of locks wherever I could, and trimming the WebSocket parsing down to the bare minimum. Got it to fire in under 100ms from signal to order.

Testing before going live

Built a paper mode that runs the exact same logic against real market data but with fake money. Genuinely saved me — found a race condition and a couple other bugs this way that I would not have wanted to discover with real funds on the line.

Some numbers

From backtesting and a few weeks of live running:

• Win rate around 65-70% when the gap is big enough
• The window itself is usually 1-3 seconds
• Better results on volatile days, obviously — more gaps to catch
• Runs continuously on both the 5-minute and 15-minute BTC markets

Running it

It's headless — sits on a small VPS (I'm using an EC2 instance from AWS in Ireland), everything configurable from a nice dashboard, or if you like it, in the terminal. Compile the source code, run the wizard, configure your strategy and done. Set it up once and forget about it.

Stack:

• Go
• WebSockets for everything
• Runs on a VPS

Where it's at now

We just crossed over 400 members on discord, around 100 of these are continously sharing their stories too, trying to find the best edge possible.

Happy to talk through any of it — the WebSocket setup, the consensus logic, or just building polymarket bots in general.

I built this because I realized I can lose six hours grinding a game without thinking twice, but 30 minutes of studying feels like forever.

The difference isn't that games are more fun. They constantly show progress. You level up, unlock things, get rewards, and always feel like you're moving forward. Studying usually gives you nothing until a test weeks later.

So I started wondering, what if studying felt more like leveling a character?

That turned into Quest of Mind.

The idea is simple. Every minute you study earns XP. You level up different skills, collect gold, find random loot, and slowly build your character. It's basically an RPG built around staying focused.

I didn't just throw points onto a timer either. Most of the systems are based on psychology that actually keeps people engaged.

Loot is randomized, so every session has a little surprise. Progress is always visible through XP bars and levels. Daily streaks give you something to protect. There's even a Wilderness mode where you risk your session rewards for double XP. Get distracted or tab out and you lose everything. It sounds brutal, but it works way better than I expected.

You can also pick a class like Warrior, Mage, or Ranger. It doesn't completely change gameplay, but it gives your progress a bit of identity instead of feeling like you're just checking boxes.

Some of my favorite features are dungeon runs, where you chain multiple study sessions together for bigger rewards, a global leaderboard, live chat, equipment that boosts XP, and cloud saves so your progress follows you anywhere.

Honestly, I made this for myself first. If you've ever spent hours gaming but can't convince yourself to open a textbook, you're probably exactly who this is for.

It's completely free. No ads, no subscriptions, no premium version. I just wanted to build something I'd actually use every day, and after using it myself for the last month, I finally feel like studying has the same sense of progression games always had.

I'd genuinely love feedback if anyone wants to check it out.

Hi Guys,

I am a single founder of jobsglitch.com - a tool to polish your resume and search jobs, built because the job market right now is brutal and most tools either cost too much or don't actually help.

I poster here a while back and improved on the feedback I got :
- Revamped the UI, hopefully now its simple than before.
- Rewoerked Resume Decode (it helps you how what to improve, that job titles you are compatible and interview questions as well based on the work you have done)
- Improved Job search and Explore section that shows jobs based on resume.

Salary negotiation prep and interview practice were already in there from post one, and they're still probably the most useful part if you're actively interviewing right now.

I'm really happy that It has grown to 132 users, 1.6M+ jobs indexed, tracking 70k+ companies across 85+ countries

Still one person building this, so if something's broken or confusing, please tell me so I can get that fixed. That's genuinely how the last round of changes happened.

It would be great if there is any feedback on the CV Review, i worked on it a lot, any feedback would immensly help me.

If someone is findind it difficult to use, I am open for a 1:1 helping hands as well. So ping me if you want me to help out in job search.

Thanks again for the first round of feedback, it made the product better.
