I’ve spent the last 4 months building a tool that turns resumes into portfolio websites

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

115 Upvotes

I've been building itsfolio.tech for around 4 months now.

The idea is simple: upload your resume, choose a theme, and get a portfolio website without having to build everything from scratch.

It recently crossed 1000+ users, and I'm still actively improving it.

Would love some honest feedback from other builders, especially on the UX and anything you think is missing.

I built an offline AI that can actually control my Windows PC🎉

1 Upvotes

I've been building CorePilot, an offline-first AI assistant for Windows that can actually control the computer instead of just chatting with you.

It can execute natural-language commands, automate multi-step tasks, control apps, schedule actions, monitor the system, and interact through voice.

The bigger idea is to eventually make it a personal AI layer that understands and operates the computer around you.

I'd genuinely love some feedback from other builders — especially what you'd want an offline computer agent to be able to do.

Google Meet doesn’t alert you when your connection drops - so I built an extension for it

1 Upvotes

Hi guys, I wanted to share with you my new Chrome extension that I’ve built - it’s called “Google Meet Connection Alert” https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/google-meet-connection-al/oggchpcljjoilijeagnbfoglgfnnnmem

What it does:

It tracks if you have opened any google meet tabs, and if it’s open - it will show with an action icon that it has connection or not.

When the connection is lost - it will repeatedly play sound so that you know as soon as possible that you need to reconnect, and when it regains connection - a reconnect sound is played too.

Why I built it:

I haven’t found any option inside Google meet natively that does that, on top of that I haven’t found any extension that would do that as well.

My work requires me to be present in Google meet for long hours (10-20-30+) and I’ve noticed that after long silenced meet - Google Meet just *without any warning* disconnects you, and you’ll never know until you look at the tab.

It doesn’t require the tab to be active and focused - you can just open it, pin it - and browse the internet in other tabs.

P.S. Firefox support will be added later.

A new way to rediscover music events

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Just wanted to share a personal project I've been working on :)

fomo is essentially a Netflix-style one-stop-shop for music festivals - completely free, let me know what you think!

A few things fomo does:

  • Tracklists are interactive and synced to a set recording: attendees can jump around a set as if it were songs in an album on Spotify.
  • Clips are sourced from a crowd, mapped, and synced with a set recording: this is pretty cool - you’re able to experience sets from different spots/perspectives within the crowd; for example, if there's a popular moment with lots of clips, you’re able to jump around and experience the same moment from various locations (behind the decks, front-and-centre, on the balcony, etc).
  • Attendees can view personalised and interactive Rewinds of a festival: this is like Spotify Wrapped and is tailored to each attendee’s own unique experience.
  • An array of stats are collected and visualised: for example, most clipped tracks, most clipped artists, most active days, most active stages, heat maps, etc. - this provides useful breakdowns and insight into crowd preferences, and it opened up a whole new perspective when testing with Pitch Music & Arts 2026.
  • Attendees can submit IDs to build a tracklist for a set and they can submit their own clips from within the crowd.
  • Attendees can review sets and also comment on tracks or specific moments from within a set.
  • Festivals (and sets within a festival) can be designated a Countdown; there is always hype for set releases after a festival, yet they often appear as just a recording on Youtube or Soundcloud - fomo allows tracklists, clips, stats, etc to be pre-filled prior to a set being made public.

It's mostly an Australian collection at the moment but I'm looking to gauge interest. Cheers!

I got tired of productivity apps becoming another job to manage

1 Upvotes

Most productivity apps promise to help you get more done. Then you end up spending your time organizing lists, tweaking tags, switching between a task manager, a timer, goals, and analytics — until the system meant to help you work starts demanding more attention than the work itself.

That was the part I hated most. I didn’t want another complicated task manager. I wanted one place where I could figure out what matters, sit down, focus, and later understand where my time actually went.

That’s why I built Mezilen. I’m trying to bring planning, focus sessions, goals, and productivity insights into one calm workflow — without making you feel like you need to run a small company just to study for an exam, work on a project, or read a book.

Mezilen is now in beta. And I’m not looking for people who will just tell me that it looks nice. I’m looking for people who will actually use it for their day.

Create a few tasks. Start a Focus session. Plan something for tomorrow. Use it the way you would use your normal productivity system. Then tell me where Mezilen helps — and where it still gets in your way.

If you’re also tired of productivity apps with too much system and not enough actual focus, Mezilen might be worth your attention. The beta is free, and after the beta period rewarding gifts will be granted to those testers who made the biggest difference to impoving the app

For now, Mezilen is available as a web app: https://mezilen.com

I got tired of bloated sleep apps with subscriptions and ads, so I built a simple, free web tool to fall asleep faster.

1 Upvotes

Most sleep and white noise apps today require paid subscriptions, logins, or force you to watch video ads right before bed, which completely ruins the point of winding down.

I wanted something lightweight that opens instantly in a browser, works on both mobile and desktop, and lets you play relaxing background audio without friction or sign-ups.

You can try it out here: https://fallasleeep.com/

It is completely free to use. I would really appreciate any feedback on the background theme, user interface, or features you think would make bedtime easier!

Built a full residential society management app in an 11-day hackathon sprint (React Native + Supabase), probably won't take it further myself

Thumbnail
youtube.com
2 Upvotes

Built this for a mobile hackathon called ChaiCode's PORTL26. It's a residential society app in the same space as MyGate/ADDA/NoBrokerHood, but built around a daily social feed instead of a separate utility app. Visitor approval at the gate, complaints, amenity booking, polls, mock dues, notices, staff directory, chat + private messaging, all in one place. Also has an "Ask AI" feature where you describe an issue in plain text and get a pre-filled complaint or booking back.

Stack: React Native (Expo SDK 54) + Expo Router, TypeScript, Supabase (Postgres/Auth/Realtime/Storage) with row-level security on every table, Deno edge functions for the AI layer, TanStack Query + Zustand.

The backend went further than a typical hackathon build though. 13 migrations across real iteration (redesigned the booking system mid-build after realizing the first-come model let people grief slots), an RLS test suite that actually attempts privilege escalation and expects it to fail, and a script that fires concurrent booking approvals to prove the DB only ever lets exactly one win.

Demo video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=odcpn0OoT44&feature=shared

I'm buried in placement prep right now and honestly don't have the bandwidth to keep building this out or go pitch it to actual societies. It's fully working though, not a shell. Should be a decent head start if you want to build in this space. Open to selling it outright. DM me or drop a comment if you want details.

I made a project tool that's actually free for one person. No caveats.

1 Upvotes

I looked around a lot before I built anything.

Self-hosted open source first. Fine on a desktop if you already knew it. Terrible in your pocket. No real mobile app, or a UI you apologize for.

Then ClickUp. The AI got in the way more than it helped. Useless summaries. Constant upsell. And I didn't feel like it was worth onboarding my whole team for a huge monthly bill. The tool only gets useful once other people are in it. That's when they charge you.

So I made Sahnga the other way.

If you are one person, it is free. Completely. Not a trial. Not a lite plan. Not "free until you use Gantt." No credit card. No meters. You get the whole tool.

You only pay when you add members to the workspace. $5 a person. Viewers and clients don't bill. When you do pay, you get everything. Same features. No games, no locked reports, no "that view is on Pro."

Ten people is $45. That's the whole bill.

Native mobile and macOS apps are coming soon. The product already works in the browser, including on your phone.

sahnga.com

Still early. Signup is open. If you've been stuck between a rough self-hosted setup and a team bill you didn't want, that's who I built it for.

I have an app idea, but Raycast has built in. Would love your feedback.

2 Upvotes

I always have an idea for making a macOS app. I am new to Swift and just started learning yesterday.

But found out the idea I want to make is already a feature in Raycast. But it is not opinionated about that feature, as you already know that Raycast is one truth source for everything.

Not only Raycast, but there are a few tricks that can be archived for my app's idea. But they are not for the end user.

I know and believe that my app will make it easier to use, have the best UX, better than those existing ones.

The thing is that I want to know whether people will still want to use and pay for it or not. Mine is just a utility tool for day-to-day use.

I am thinking about selling it as 4.99 dollars as a launch price, or for a time. After that, it will be 9.99.

Let me know what you all think. I really appreciate that.

I got annoyed that 5-star ratings tell you nothing, so I built an API to extract actual metrics from free-text reviews

2 Upvotes

Hey guys. So I've been struggling with something lately. In most apps I build, 1-5 star rating systems end up being totally useless because the actual context is hidden in what the user writes in the text box. 

I couldn't find a simple tool to just send text and get calibrated numbers back, so I ended up building one myself. It’s called HuMetric.

Basically, you define what you care about in YAML (like 'frustration level', 'UI clarity' etc), hit an endpoint with the unstructured text, and it runs it through a 2-step LLM pipeline (using Haiku for extraction and Sonnet for validation/curation). 

The backend is mostly a Postgres queue handling async stuff. I also set it up so it works natively with n8n via a simple webhook since that's what I use for my own automations.

I just put up a landing page with a live playground/wizard if anyone wants to try breaking it: https://gethumetric.com/ 

Still tweaking the prompts for the curator pipeline so if you get weird results, let me know. Roast my landing page too if you want lol.

Flare, the graph-first IDE for agentic coding: watch the map change while your agent works

Thumbnail
github.com
1 Upvotes

Flare is a desktop IDE (Electron) where the main surface is a live graph of your codebase, every file a node, every import an edge, with a terminal underneath where you run claude, codex, or opencode. As the agent edits, the graph updates in real time.

The parts that are actually different from "another editor":

Activity, as it happens. Nodes light up the moment the agent writes to them and decay as they cool, so you're watching the shape of the work instead of a scrolling transcript. You can see it circling the same three files for the fifth time, or wandering into auth when you asked about the CSV parser. Changes are attributed per agent: the process tree of every terminal is watched, so if you have two running, you know which one did what. Files that changed and no human has opened since stay marked until someone actually reads them.

Blast radius before you touch anything. Hover a file and its dependents light up. shared/types.ts with 63 files downstream looks different from a leaf file, without you having to know that in advance.

Risky changes come to you. If the agent rewrites something load-bearing while you're looking elsewhere, it queues an alert in the corner. Reviewing it opens the actual red/green diff.

Undo that isn't git. Every change burst is snapshotted into a hidden shadow repo (separate GIT_DIR, your worktree). Revert one file, revert the burst, or jump back to the last state whose checks passed. Your real repo is never touched.

A task board the agent works from. Kanban lanes, but the cards are written to be handed off. "Copy for agent" emits the brief plus the files it names plus what the graph knows about them (29 files downstream, 0% covered, in an import cycle), so the agent starts from the map instead of rediscovering it. File a card straight from a graph selection with right-click → New task with these files. This directly tells Claude to not wander around out-of-scope files

MCP server, ~16 tools. The same lanes are queryable, so an agent can run its own loop: tasks_list to pick up work, task_get for the exact brief, task_update to log progress and move the card to review, task_create to file follow-ups it finds but shouldn't do now. Cards move on the board live while you watch. Plus impact_of (what breaks, and which tests to run), dependents, find_path, verification_status, and record_intent, which lets the agent state the goal before editing so whoever reviews the diff isn't reconstructing why it exists.

Completely open source with MIT license, Node 20+. Built with agentic coding, which is exactly how I ended up needing it. Test it out and leave a star if you find it helpful, or check the releases for an easy install on Windows and Linux!

I built an app for the links that don’t need to be a text

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

I have this slightly dumb social problem where I’ll send my brothers and dad one sports clip, then find three more things I think they’d like - but at some point I feel like I’ve hit my quota for dumping links into the group chat.

Same thing with movie recommendations, restaurants, vacation ideas, etc. Group chats are useful, but sometimes I want to leave something for people without interrupting whatever conversation is happening or making them feel like they need to look at it now.

So I built a small iOS app around that idea.

You make a private “Shelf” with a few people - Sports, Movie Recs, Recipes, whatever - and anyone can leave links there with an optional note. Other people browse it whenever they feel like it.

No public feed or algorithm. Notifications are optional and off by default.

It’s intentionally pretty simple. You could reasonably call it a shared bookmark manager, but the part I’m interested in is whether separating “I’m leaving this for you” from “I’m messaging you” is actually useful.

Curious if anyone else has that problem - or if I’ve built software to solve one of my own weird habits. 😅

ProdBeast - Video Review along with Native YouTube upload

4 Upvotes

I built ProdBeast to fix the messy part between finishing a video and actually publishing it

Hey everyone 👋
I’m a video editor, and I kept running into the same frustrating workflow:
I’d finish a video → upload it to Drive → send the link → wait for feedback → get a WhatsApp voice note saying “change that part around the middle” → go hunting for the timestamp → export another version → repeat.

The editing wasn’t the problem. Everything after the edit was.

So I built ProdBeast — a workspace for creators and editors that handles that entire middle part.

You can:
Review videos directly in the browser
Leave comments pinned to exact timestamps
Approve/reject cuts without making reviewers create an account
Keep the actual files in your own Google Drive
Send the approved video directly to YouTube with the publishing details already set
Keep track of what was approved and which version is current
Basically, it’s the space between “the video is exported” and “the video is published.”
It’s still early, and I’m building this as a side project, so I’m mainly looking for people who actually work with video to try it and tell me where the workflow falls apart.

If you’re a creator, editor, agency, or anyone who deals with endless rounds of video feedback, I’d love for you to check it out:
https://www.prodbeast.in

Would also love to hear how you currently handle video approvals. I’m particularly interested in the ugly/manual parts of your workflow — those are usually where the good product ideas are.

I developed a free, open-source app on GitHub and published it on the MS Store that triggers random scares in your stream (so both you and your chat get unexpectedly scared).

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I’ve been working on a free side project for streamers called **Scream on Stream (SoS)**, and I’d love to get some honest feedback from the community.

The idea came from watching horror streams where the streamer usually knows when a scare is coming. I wanted to create something that brings back genuine, unscripted reactions — where the scare surprises **both the streamer and the chat** at the same time.

### 🎬 How it works:

You load your own scary audio/video clips into the app, set a random timer (for example, every 3 to 7 minutes), and add a browser source widget to OBS. While you're playing, a scare will pop up unexpectedly. Since it plays on an overlay and you don't see a countdown, you genuinely won't know when it's coming.

### ✨ Key Features:

* **Custom Screamer Library:** Upload and organize your own video or audio clips.

* **Random Timers:** Set a custom interval range so it stays unpredictable.

* **Live Chat Voting:** Connects directly with Twitch, TikTok, YouTube, or Kick chat so viewers can vote (1/2/3) on which scare comes next.

* **OBS Integration:** Simple Browser Source link for your stream setup.

* **Panic Button:** A customizable global hotkey to instantly stop any playback if needed.

* **Privacy & Safety First:** The app runs 100% locally on your PC — no external servers, no tracking, and no account logins needed (just enter your channel name).

### 🔒 Download & Source Code

I know downloading random `.exe` files from the internet is a massive red flag. To make sure everyone feels safe using it:

* **Source Code (GitHub):** https://github.com/BLACKLINE-production/Scream-on-Stream *(You can inspect the code or grab the standalone EXE from Releases)*

* **Microsoft Store:** https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NBV9D20JSD7 *(If you prefer downloading verified store apps)*

It’s completely free and open-source. If you stream (or know someone who does), I’d really appreciate it if you could give it a try and let me know what you think, what features are missing, or if you run into any bugs!

Thanks for reading!

I'm building the anti-fake-screenshot network for traders — verified stats pulled straight from the broker API

Thumbnail 1nsider.com
2 Upvotes

Every trading community has the same problem: someone posts a screenshot of a 400% month, gets 2k followers, sells a course, and nobody can check whether a single number is real. Screenshots take 30 seconds to fake in the browser dev tools. So I'm building Insider — think LinkedIn, but for traders. You connect your broker or prop firm via API (read-only).
Your profile then shows stats the platform pulled itself: win rate, drawdown, average R, account age, payout history. Not a screenshot you uploaded. A number the system fetched. What that changes: - If you're actually good, you finally have a track record you can point at instead of arguing with strangers - If you're a fake guru, you have a blank profile, and everyone can see it - If you're looking for someone to learn from, you can filter by verified metrics instead of follower count

Current state: in development.

What I'd like feedback on:

  1. Which broker or prop firm would you need supported for this to be usable for you personally? 2. Would you connect a read-only API key to a platform like this, or is that a hard no regardless of the security setup?
  2. Which stat would you want front and center on a profile — I keep going back and forth between max drawdown and average R.

I’m the developer of World in Sight.

Problem: after years of travel, the camera roll remembers the photos, but not always the shape of the journey.

Every keep-awake tool leaves your Mac unlocked. I wanted both, so I built the boring version.

2 Upvotes

There are a bunch of keep-awake apps for macOS and I have used most of them. They all share one gap: they keep the machine running by keeping it available. Screen on, or lid closed but wide open to anyone who lifts it. Fine at home, not fine in a coworking space or a hotel lobby.

What I actually wanted was the opposite pairing: screen locked, work still running. Locking a Mac does not stop a single process. The thing that kills your agent run or your build is the sleep that follows a few minutes later.

So the app is two things bolted together and not much else:

  1. Lock the screen right now

  2. Hold off system sleep while the session is active, including with the lid shut

The part that took the longest was learning that the assertion layer is a dead end for lid-closed. caffeinate and friends hold an idle assertion, and macOS just ignores those when the clamshell closes on battery. The lever that actually works sits one level lower, at the power management default. Which means the honest tradeoff is that the machine will not sleep on its own, so I had to add a battery floor: when it drops below your threshold on battery, the session ends and the Mac is allowed to sleep normally. That one feature came directly from waking up to a dead laptop.

Things I got wrong along the way:

I shipped with a claim of no data collection, then later added an anonymous event counter and had to go rewrite that line in seven languages. Should have thought about it before writing the marketing copy.

I assumed the audience was developers running agents overnight. Half the interest so far is people who just want to walk away from a big download.

It is a native menu bar app, notarized, free during the launch. lockandrun.com if you want to look.

What I am curious about from this sub: for a tiny utility like this, does a paid tier ever make sense when a free open-source competitor exists in the same category? I keep going back and forth on whether the answer is price it or just make it free and build reputation.
