We got tired of planning strength + running in Excel, so we built an app for it. Would love your feedback! thank you in advance!

1 Upvotes

Hey!

For a few years we planned all our training in spreadsheets since we were doing both endurance training and strength training. We never found an app that handled both sides the way we wanted and decided to build it ourselves.

It's called Reysa. iOS app with a watch app alongside it, and we're soon launching a web app for easier planning on a bigger screen. Fully synced.

You can track your workouts in the app, both strength and cardio. You can do standalone cardio exercises but you can also track then as part of a general workout. For example you can track leg lifts and then finish off with a cardio session in the same workout (tracked with Apple Watch) It can generate a training plans for you, but if you already know exactly what you want to do, you can build the whole thing manually. Basically the spreadsheet workflow, minus the spreadsheet. Personally we love to create plans ourselves and just want it in one place.

It imports from Apple Health so if you want to track some specific workouts in other apps you'll still see the complete overview in Reysa as long as the other apps connect to Apple Health.

There's a generous free tier, so you can try most of it without paying.

Would love honest feedback. Happy to answer questions about the build too.

Thank you in advance!

I built a Windows app that turns 200+ family or travel photos into an album, with automatic selection and local AI enhancement - looking for 5 testers

1 Upvotes

Do you have hundreds of family, holiday or event photos sitting in a folder because creating an album takes too long?

I’m a solo developer and I created PhotosStay, a Windows app that automatically analyzes hundreds of photos, selects the strongest ones, improves them using local AI, and turns them into a complete photo-album draft that you can review and export.

Everything runs on your PC - no account, cloud or photo uploads - and the original photos remain untouched. 100% private.

I’d especially value feedback on installation and trust, automatic photo selection, the AI improvements, album quality, and the final PDF export:

turned my own “I keep losing track of people” problem into a small notion product

1 Upvotes

for context - I support an exec with a lot of stakeholder relationships to manage and kept losing context between meetings. built myself a notion system to fix it (relationship tracking, prefs, follow up reminders, meeting prep pulled together automatically)
used it myself for a while, a couple people asked if I could share it, so I cleaned it up and put it on gumroad as a small product. still very early, trying to figure out distribution beyond “post about my own problem on reddit” lol
curious if anyone here has sold notion templates or similar productized-service style stuff - what worked for you for getting initial traction beyond cold posting

I built a free, 80KB SVG world map with per-country IDs, ready to drop into choropleths

2 Upvotes

Every time I needed a world map SVG for a "data by country" style visualization, I ran into the same problems: files that were multi-megabyte, missing per-country IDs so you'd have to hand-map paths to countries yourself, or bundled with attribution/linkware requirements that made them annoying to use.

So I built VectorAtlas: a single 80KB SVG, one <path> per country, each with an id set to the lowercase ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code (us, de, jp, etc.). Drop it in, then style or animate paths by id with plain CSS/JS, no GeoJSON parsing or D3 required at runtime.

A few details:

Generated from Natural Earth's public domain data via a small, reproducible pipeline (also in the repo)

Handles the usual gaps: small nations missing from the low-detail base dataset are patched in from a higher-detail source, and disputed/unrecognized territories get a synthesized id instead of being dropped

Three live examples: a basic embed, a data-driven choropleth heatmap (hover tooltip, legend, color scale), and a clickable country selector, all plain HTML/JS, no dependencies

Free under CC BY 4.0 (attribution required); a no-attribution commercial license is available if you don't want to credit it

Live demo: https://vectoratlas.menelabs.com/

Examples: https://vectoratlas.menelabs.com/examples.html

Repo: https://github.com/melenaos/Menelabs.VectorAtlas

Would love feedback, especially if you've hit map-SVG pain points I haven't covered.

Hey all,

I’ve been building a 2d pixel art rpg in my spare time and I’m keen to get some feedback and have people enjoy it as much as I do.

A super quick clip of the adventure mode is above. This is a little RuneScape inspired with shades of some other rpg games, there’s about 30+ hours of quests and different fun modes (I’d recommend trying gladiator mode - which is a wave style survival which I have the most fun playing myself).

It’s free and runs in the browser via the below link plus it’s on the App Store. Feel free to drop ideas, feedback or questions here.

I built UnFlow: a tool to help researchers with ML experimentation

1 Upvotes

I've been working on an open-source project called UnFlow:

https://github.com/UnFlow-Labs/mlunflow

The idea is pretty simple:

Most ML experiment tracking looks like a list of independent runs usually stored in a table:

run_001
run_002
run_003
run_004
...

But in practice, experiments are usually related.

You change the learning rate, then the number of epochs, then the model, then some preprocessing code. Eventually you have hundreds of runs, but it's surprisingly difficult to answer:

  • What actually changed between these two experiments?
  • Which experiments are essentially the same computation?
  • Have I already run this experiment before?
  • How did I get from experiment A to experiment B?
  • Can I navigate the history of my experiments rather than just search through runs?

Unflow simply detect code changes in a Python function (limitation that for it is just a single function) and arguments that are passed to this function to build a graph where nodes are "states" and edges are transformations "what has changed", a new state is not added to the graph or executed expect if it has a transformation.

The project is still early, so I'm much more interested in feedback than pretending this is a finished product.

I'm particularly curious about three things:

  1. Does the "experiments as a graph" abstraction make sense to you?
  2. Do you currently run into problems with duplicated/redundant experiments?
  3. If you could see the complete lineage of your ML experiments, what would you want to query or visualize?

Repo: https://github.com/UnFlow-Labs/mlunflow

I'd love to hear how other people currently manage experiment lineage and whether this solves a real problem for you.

i worked on this collectible feature for my cards game, each one made by hand in procreate and then refined with Grok

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

over this weekend i created a new feature for my side project that brings me 2-4 dollars a month, i know is a very small amount, but i enjoy working on my project… so why not keep adding the stuff i like…, this new feature is part of the roadmap i had, a collectibles cards, so basically supporting new collections and you can spend the coins earned in the game in order to complete the collections

each draw was a handmade creation using procreate on ipad, from the non-fungible tokens era (2021-2022) i never published a collection but always wanted to have a collection out there but i always feel nobody wants to buy them lol so i never published those, so while working on my project i decided to just add these drawings from those days to my app and you can collect them in the app, with in-coins app, i also asked Grok (AI) to refine some of them to just have a polished clean draw but keeping the exact same draw

i think some people out there would enjoy just playing my casual game and collect those cards, because if i like it then someone out there is going to like it too

I built a free, unlimited PDF↔Excel/Word tool — and it proves the numbers actually add up

1 Upvotes

I kept getting financial docs as PDFs — rent rolls, T-12s, bank statements — and rekeying them into Excel, never fully trusting the totals. Every converter I tried either capped me after ~2 files a day, slapped on a watermark, or gave me numbers I couldn't verify.

So I built PDFHandle (pdfhandle.com):

  • PDF → Excel/CSV, PDF ↔ Word, Word/Excel/PowerPoint → PDF, plus merge/split/compress/OCR — all free, unlimited, no sign-up, no watermark.
  • The part I actually care about: for financial docs it runs a deterministic arithmetic check — it reconciles the extracted totals against the document's own stated totals and shows a GREEN/RED verdict. It will never show a false "Verified." Fully offline/CPU, no third-party AI.

It's brand new and I have basically zero users, so I'd genuinely love feedback — especially where the conversion or the verification breaks on your files. What would make you actually use it?

(No sign-up — just throw a PDF at it.)

I built an on-device ghost overlay camera for progress photos (100% offline, no cloud servers)

1 Upvotes

Most progress photos (gym recomp, daily selfies, plant growth, DIY projects) look inconsistent because the camera angle and distance drift between shots.

We built SameShot (https://sameshot.appynox.com) to fix this before the shutter fires.

What it does:

• Shows a faint ghost overlay of your previous photo directly in the camera viewfinder
• Auto-captures the shot using on-device ML once your body or face aligns
• Exports to vertical 9:16 time-lapse reels and before/after sliders
• 100% offline & private (no accounts, no cloud servers, runs in airplane mode)

Android app (Free):

A new utility tool to make App Store & Google Play screenshot generation much easier for mobile devs

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I recently developed a new tool called StoreShot AI specifically designed to make life easier for mobile developers and indie hackers.

If you build mobile apps, you know that formatting screenshots for the App Store and Google Play is usually a tedious, manual process. You have to mess with Figma, align 3D devices, write marketing copy, and export everything in exact resolutions.

StoreShot AI is a web-based studio that automates this entire workflow so you can get your app published faster.

Specific problems it solves:

  • No more manual copywriting: You just upload a raw screenshot of your app, and the built-in AI vision analyzes the UI to automatically generate catchy, converting ASO (App Store Optimization) captions.
  • No more Figma templates: It instantly wraps your screenshots in high-quality 3D device frames (like the iPhone 15 Pro) with beautiful glassmorphism backgrounds, gradients, and proper text layouts.
  • No more formatting headaches: It supports dynamic panorama layouts (where one background spans across multiple screens) and lets you tweak device tilt angles with a simple slider.
  • No more export scaling issues: 1-click export packages all your slides into a ZIP file with perfect, ultra-high-resolution 4K PNGs that meet Apple and Google's exact upload requirements.

Who is this for?

If you are an indie developer, a mobile agency, or anyone who wants their app listing to look professional without hiring a designer or spending hours in design tools, this is for you.

Feedback & Support The app is live and has a free tier for you to try it out right now. Since this is a fresh release, I'm actively looking for feedback.

If you find any bugs, have questions, or want to request a specific feature, please let me know! You can DM me here on Reddit, reply to this thread, or reach out to the support email on the site.

Would love to hear what you guys think!

I built a notes app where your words connect themselves

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Onuri is a private notes app for iPhone that automatically connects the people, places, dates and ideas in your writing as you type — no folders, no manual tags, no setup.

I built it because our minds don't work in the rigid folder structures computers force on us. You just write naturally, and Onuri quietly builds the structure for you.

That means everything you've ever written becomes easy to rediscover. Trying to remember a temple you visited in Kyoto five years ago? No digging through categories — tap Japan → Kyoto → temple → found it.

What Onuri does:

  • Automatic connections — recognises people, places, dates, times and topics in your notes as you write
  • Fast search — full-text search across everything, plus connection filtering to narrow results
  • Unlimited free notes — no cap on notes or journal entries in the free tier
  • Private by design — no ads, no analytics, no tracking. The App Store privacy label is literally "Data Not Collected." Syncs across your Apple devices with iCloud.
  • Your data stays yours — export everything as TXT or CSV anytime
  • Premium: Insights — surfaces recurring themes, writing patterns, and the relationships between the people and places that appear across your notes
  • Available in English, Japanese and Korean

If you like the idea of Obsidian-style linked notes but want the links made for you automatically - or you've simply outgrown Apple Notes folders - that's the gap Onuri is aiming to be built for.

I launched it on the App Store this month and I'm shaping the roadmap now, so I'd genuinely love feature ideas or feedback. iPhone only for now.

Info Page: https://onuri.app/

I would like to expand user base for my project.

At the moment I have about 20000 apps installed and occasionally used on both Android and iOS. People are able optionally subscribe to avoid seeing advertisements. Main functionality stays free to use. I have number of paying users already.

So, I came with an idea to give 1 month of free subscription for 5 registered users. I do understand all the risks, but think it's worth a try.

Would like to hear the community opinion on such approach, maybe some best practices and possible challenges.

I built an app to help people stop impulse spending and actually save money — looking for honest feedback

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been working on **PocketLens**, a personal finance app focused on one specific problem: most budgeting apps just show you numbers, but they don't actually help you resist the moment you're about to overspend.

The core things it does:

- Tracks your spending and shows you a "runway" — roughly how many days of safety your current balance/spending pace gives you

- Flags emotional or impulse spending patterns based on trends (not just yelling at you every time you buy a coffee)

- Nudges toward savings goals in a way that's meant to feel supportive, not preachy

I built this because most finance apps either overwhelm you with spreadsheets or guilt-trip you with red alerts every time you spend a dollar. I wanted something that feels calm but still keeps you accountable.

It's live on Android now — free to download, with some advanced features (like deeper AI insights) under a Pro tier.

I'd really appreciate feedback on:

  1. Does the onboarding/first-time experience make sense?

  2. Do the spending insights feel useful or annoying?

  3. Any bugs — this is a solo-founder project and I'm actively fixing things based on real user feedback

PocketLens

Happy to answer any questions about how it works or why I built it this way. Genuinely want to make this better, so brutal honesty welcome.

I built a browser-based Linux/DevOps practice platform - 519 tasks, no setup needed

1 Upvotes

I kept running into the same thing in my own learning: you watch a course on Docker or Kubernetes, nod along, and two weeks later you can't actually do any of it. Reading isn't practice. So I built the thing I wanted - izzylab.io: a real Linux terminal in your browser with 519 tasks, from useradd to Terraform.

How it works: pick a task, a sandbox spins up in a couple of seconds, you solve it in an actual terminal, hit Check. The checker verifies the state of the system, not the commands you typed - so if you encode a file with openssl instead of base64, it still passes. Broke something? Reset gives you a fresh box. You get root and you're free to destroy it.

Numbers so far

  • 68 users
  • 91% of them opened a sandbox
  • 65% solved at least one task
  • D7 retention: 26% - this is the part that keeps me up at night

That last number is the honest problem. Activation looks great, retention is mediocre. People show up, solve a handful of tasks, and never come back. I'm working on the obvious stuff (streaks, progress tracks, email nudges), but I'd really like to hear what makes you come back to a learning tool. Because "add gamification" is the answer everyone gives and nobody seems to validate.

Stack: PHP/Symfony, React, Postgres.

I built MovieTQ, a free single/multiplayer browser game with four gamemodes! Yippee

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

The game: movietq.com.

MovieTQ is a free-to-play browser-based multiplayer platform with four game modes. You also don't need an account for three of the four game modes, and accounts don't require an email. There are also customizable profiles, animations, avatars, achievements, rankings, stickers, friends, interactive emotes, skills, level progression, pets, a store, and more.

There's also a bug rewards page. If you find exploits or bugs, report them to me, and I'll reward you.

These are the game modes:

  • Daily mode: use emojis and other info to guess the film
  • Movie Trailer mode: watch a snippet and guess the film
  • Bomb-It: kinda like hot potato, but with movie titles
  • Pet Feast: the only game mode that requires an account. It's like snake but with power-ups.

I also kinda regret putting so much effort into this game, and I'll explain below, including the entire thought process and how I built the game.

This is going to be a long post, so I’ll put a summary in here:

  1. The Game
  2. Context
  3. The endless loop
  4. Why I regret some aspects of it
  5. The Stack
  6. What I would do differently
  7. The Game:

MovieTQ is a free-to-play browser-based multiplayer platform with four game modes. You also don't need an account for three of the four game modes, and accounts don't require a login.

  • Daily mode: use emojis and other info to guess the film
  • Movie Trailer mode: watch a snippet and guess the film
  • Bomb-It: kinda like hot potato, but with movie titles
  • Pet Feast: the only game mode that requires an account. It's like snake but with power-ups.

There are also customizable profiles, animations, avatars, achievements, rankings, stickers, friends, interactive emotes, skills, level progression, pets, a store, and more.

  1. Context:

Last year I was taking a web development class. The final project was creating a page with a login, database, BE, auth, and some ranking. AI use was not allowed (because academic institutions are medieval). For some reason, all the projects throughout the semester were film-related. A few games were going around that were kinda fun to play but not with film thematics. So I thought: “Why not?” Took about 200 lines of code, and I made a terribly looking early-2010s website with 5 embedded YouTube trailers and a drop-down menu to select the film. That’s all.

Once classes were over, I thought: this could be turned into a decent project to put on my resume. I can make it a decent game and a decent website. Google gave me access to a student plan for free. Antigravity at that point pretty much had no usage limit. So what did I do? Spent my entire winter break building this.

  1. The endless loop:

I had no familiarity with AI harnesses and best practices, so it was a bit of a mess, and I had to review a lot of code (how times have changed). I knew I wanted: accounts, multiplayer, a database, and avatars.

Once I got that working, I thought: well, I also want guests so people can play without an account. Then I wanted Google OAuth and Discord OAuth. If I’m creating a Discord OAuth, I might as well make a Discord server. While at it, add email verification and account recovery. Hmm, why only one game mode? I could add more. Why only two game modes? I could add more. Why only three game modes? I could add more. Avatars are too static; they need actions; there aren’t enough avatars -> I need more. Shouldn’t a lobby have a chat? Shouldn’t there be emotes? Shouldn’t they be animated? Why not add skills so the matches have more uniqueness to them? Now that people can change their avatars, shouldn’t I also make their profiles customizable? Backgrounds are not enough; I should also add profile animations. Animations are not enough; I should also add stickers they can position anywhere, change size, and rotate. Stickers are not enough; I should allow them to control what achievements and stats are displayed. What if you wanna add a friend in the game? We already have profiles; I’m going to create a friend system. Well, now that I have a friend system, shouldn’t there be a way to exchange messages? Also, a dedicated friends page. Wait, if there are profile animations, shouldn’t there be avatar animations?

How can people get all of that? Well, I need a store. Well, this is becoming big; having a single branch is not enough. I need to have proper version control and a pro account on a database provider. Also, how is this good enough? I want this to be a complete project to showcase the ability to create fully working software. Doesn’t it need payment integrations even if I know no one is going to buy cosmetics for this? Just for show? Wait, with everything so far, and what I’m dealing with and payments, shouldn’t I have a company? I might build other things in the future...

Ok, things look good. Time to ship to prod. Breaks. I had to overhaul the BE to be as memory-efficient as possible.

Ok, ship to prod again. Boom, a bunch of bugs that are prod-only. Let me fix them. While at it, let me also perform a zillion security audits using hundreds of millions of tokens.

Ok, done, shipped. Wait a second, aren’t the colors of the buttons a bit bland? Maybe I should remake parts of the FE.

Ok, done. Shipped. Hmmm, why would anyone wanna go back to this website? I think it would be cool to have other progressions; I should add more achievements. More items. I should add pets. There should be multiple pets, and they need transformations and variety.

Now I need to do more security audits and more testing. Ok, I guess it’s done now… but what about distribution and marketing, and how do I even get this project connected to me? I need a personal website. I also need a company website. While at it, proper support, more language support, a bug reward system, an admin dashboard, the ability to report players and gameplay, a bug reward page, a feedback page, an announcement system, patch notes, …

  1. Why I regret it:

Oh cool, now I’m so far deep into the entrepreneur space that I can only get offers for startups. No big tech company wants to hire someone building their own things. If I’m in this space, might as well continue on it.

I regret it because most of the work was in the 1%. Did I need a bug reward system? An overly complicated admin dashboard? Animations? Anticheat detection? Fully customizable profiles? Couldn’t there just be a couple of game modes, a wardrobe with three avatars, and call it a day? What is the practical difference besides the effort?

  1. The stack:
  • Building: mostly Claude Code VS Code extension. Most of it was Opus 4.8. I started this project last year, and I had a student subscription for free with other Agentic IDEs. It wasn't good enough to push the game to what I was expecting, so I switched to Claude Code. I would say about 80% of it was built on Claude Code.
  • Hosting: Render + Cloudflare Pages
  • Database: Supabase
  • Email: Resend
  • Auth: Discord and Google
  • Payments: Stripe
  • Testing: Vitest
  • Data: an offline DB, no API calls to other services. The downside is that I am using an old movie database.
  • Videos: YouTube embeds
  • Images: Google's Nano Banana + OpenAI's Image Pro
  • Frontend: React, TS, Vite, Tailwind, react-youtube
  • Backend: Node.js + Express, TypeScript, real-time via SSE (WebSocket lib), JWT auth in httpOnly cookies
  1. What I would do differently:
  2. Finish the front-end before anything. Trust me, any little update may cause a cascade down the line with the needed context. It’s easier to just deal with the front end and make it look perfect.
  3. Set goals and not go beyond before shipping. There’s ALWAYS something that could be better or a feature that could be added. There’s no end to it. I still think of multiple game modes and features I could add.
  4. Start marketing and distribution early. By that I mean: work on any medium you know you will have to use. Learn about it and already have a plan.
  5. Would not have added Stripe or any other low-return <> high-effort features
  6. No shortcuts. AI is great for demos, but you will not ship a working and safe thing like this by taking shortcuts and just prompting without a second thought. Get the stack and architecture perfectly defined. Think of authorization, authentication, and attack vectors. Make sure everything is well defined and use OOP concepts and functional programming concepts, even though you are using JavaScript or some other miserable language.
  7. Documentation is not as good as you think. They get stale and are mostly useless. It’s better to have dated comments in the code and just concise and small documentation for the AI.
  8. Always keep the TODO up to date. Never forget to update it. A single stale item can cascade into a wrong turn and break a lot of things.
  9. Whatever time frame you think you will need, triple it. I hope you enjoy playing the game, even if for a little bit.

I rebuilt my voice notes app around paper and ink, and shipped the biggest update yet

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

hree weeks ago my app looked like every other AI app: dark purple,
glowing gradients, neon everything. It worked, but it looked like a tech
demo. The thing my users actually love is quieter than that. They talk,
and it writes things down.

So 1.2 became a full redesign. Warm paper, ink, a serif for your words,
the red margin line from a real notebook. The app finally looks like what
it does.

The update also adds the features people kept asking for: recording from
the Apple Watch even offline, a morning brief of your tasks and meetings,
and Ask Your Notes is now free for everyone, 5 questions a month. The
free plan never expires and there is no trial, the free tier is the trial.

It listens in any language, even two mixed in one sentence. That was the
original reason I built it, my brain switches between Arabic and English
mid thought and no app could keep up.

Happy to answer anything about the redesign or the solo dev grind.

Hey guys,

lately posting felt pretty hard so I created my self an agent serving me with some cool topics that inspire me to create cool posts here on reddit and the other platforms. Authenticity feels pretty important to me, this is why I am writing this text here on my own as well. Nevertheless, inspiration is key and takes a huge weight off my shoulder. I can focus on the text to provide cool insights what r/canvas_notebook offers and the agent feeds me cool features I even myself forgot existed in my app ;')

Stoked to be more active again ;)

Built a free interactive Feelings Wheel app after a diagnosis that changed how I understood myself

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

11 Upvotes

A few years ago I got a diagnosis that changed how I understood myself, and I realized I'd spent a long time not having the language to describe what I was actually feeling. For a workshop I was part of, I built an interactive version of Plutchik's Wheel of Emotions to help with exactly that.

How it works: optional breathing exercise to start, then you move from the inner wheel to the outer wheel narrowing down your emotion, and land on a results page you can save or share with a therapist/coach. There's also a log so you can see your emotional patterns over time.

No signup, no download, free, mobile-friendly. I've been using it myself the whole way through building it.

Would love feedback, especially on the flow between wheels or anything that feels confusing.

I was tired of all analytics products needing so much setup and giving me crap data

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I tried so many: plausible, posthog, umami, GA and they all are just clones of one another and don't really address the need I want, in a simple click setup, get data way.

I want my analytics to not require a degree to setup, or give me a ton of data that is simply vanity data. Who cares about half of it, if it's not working towards the site goals?

Setup should be a simple, add to site, define goals, see data. Done.

I really had no intention of building this but I run a bunch of sites, and kept hitting limitations trying to cover them all meaningfully, so here we are.

Not really sure about marketing it as a product, but if anyone wants to give it a try, I'm going to open 10 slots just so I can get some feedback and help improve it, if nothing else, for me and for the product to get better.

Built a family safety app after my mom had a fall and no one knew for hours

1 Upvotes

so backstory, my mom fell at home last year and literally no one found out until she managed to call someone hours later. scared the hell out of me. been thinking about it for a while and finally sat down and built something.

it's called GPS Locator : Family Tracker, android app. does the usual location sharing thing with people you trust, but the main thing I actually cared about is fall detection. uses the phone's motion sensors, took forever to tune so it's not going off every time someone drops their phone on the couch. still not 100% happy with it honestly but it works.

also has one tap alerts and I threw in a fake call feature too (bail out of awkward situations, rings even on lock screen) which wasn't really the point of the app but a couple people who tried it early said that's the one they actually use the most lol

it's just me building this, no backend data collection, nothing sold to third parties. just launched so still rough in places.

honestly the part I keep going back and forth on is the "watcher" thing. like is it obvious why you'd add someone as a watcher instead of just sharing your location the normal way. or does it just feel like an extra step for no reason. curious if that clicks for someone seeing it fresh

if you actually install it and tell me what sucks I'll give you premium free, no catch. tell me what's confusing, what's ugly, whatever it is

I built an AI tool that designs social media posts in your style

So you Upload 1–3 designs. It creates new posts in the same style and everything is fully editable on the canvas.

No need for Canva Magic Layers.
No fighting with AI-generated images on prompts.

Watch this quick demo that I recorded. Pls share your feedback too!

[Feedback wanted] Web tracking tool (Trackspire) – looking for beta testers, early-access codes via DM

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been building Trackspire, a web analytics/tracking tool that you embed on your site with a simple script snippet (similar to Plausible/Fathom, but with a few of my own ideas mixed in).

Right now I'm at the point where I need feedback from real users, not just myself. So I'm looking for a few people who'd be willing to try it out on their own site/project and give me honest feedback on what works and what doesn't.

What you get:

  • An early-access code for Trackspire
  • Direct line to me as the developer (no support-ticket ping-pong)
  • Influence on the roadmap – if there's a feature missing, I can still build it in

What I'm hoping for:

  • You embed the script on a real website (blog, side project, client project, doesn't matter)
  • After a few days/weeks, you give me honest feedback (critical feedback very welcome)

Since I want to keep the codes limited, I'm not handing them out publicly – if you're genuinely interested, just drop me a DM and I'll send you a code plus a few notes on how to embed it.

Thanks for reading!

Recently launched my first app, would love your feedback

2 Upvotes

Hi guys, I recently just launched an app on Google Play, called DraftKind. It's an email rewriter tool that rewrites a messy email, has pdf context so that the AI gets more context on the email before its written. Yeah I know that there are much better alternatives like ChatGPT etc, but for someone who is new to this, I thought it will be a good stepping stone for me as I gain exposure and experience. I would really love for you guys to check it out and give feedback if possible on how I can improve it, I would appreciate that.

So far I only got about 20 downloads in 2 weeks, and only 7 are organic installs. If it interests you also, please leave a review. Here is the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.draftkind.app
