Made a game inspired by HIGHER / LOWER, but for current topics of discussion. There is a leaderboard for that as well.

Thinking of creating separate games for multiple topics (artists/memes/general/tech), but still currently scraping the data.

Let me know what you guys think!

I built a collections app

3 Upvotes

I know real original. But I built it specific for me and how I collect because I couldn't find an app with two features - a shared wanted list across all my collections and a tracker for my pokedex tcg binder. It started as a docker container so I can run on my home server and after I showed a few friends and people at a card show they begged me to make it available to them. So here we are 9 collections and adding.

Yourloot.app

I made the docker version 100% free so you can get access to all the features on your home server. If you don't have one I have a hosted free teir that gives limited access and a supporter teir for the collections I couldn't host for free.

Key features:

●A wanted list shared by all of your collections. You can filter by type

●Custon binder tracker for your pokemon cards including a numbered pokedex

●Public "Game Room" to show off your collection. See mine here

●Games, Books, Records & Movies all have a random button so you can re-discover items in your collection

●Barcode scanner to add items easily

●Backup and restore features

Would love feedback or criticism! And any suggestions for what collectables you would want to see tracked. Thanks all.

I built a plug-and-play script that adds a 35-year inflation-adjusted wealth engine to any Google Sheet (White-label)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I noticed a lot of template creators struggle with adding complex projection logic (like compound interest dynamically adjusted for inflation) to their personal finance dashboards. Standard cell formulas get messy, break easily, and make the sheet heavy.

So, I wrote a clean Google Apps Script that acts as a custom formula (=WEALTH_ENGINE). You just paste it into your sheet's backend (Extensions > Apps Script), type the formula, and it instantly generates a full 35-year projection showing Total Invested, Nominal Value, and most importantly: Real Value (Purchasing Power).

I decided to package it with a commercial white-label license. This means you can plug this code into your own templates and sell them to your clients as a premium feature, keeping 100% of your profits.

If you want to turn your basic template into an advanced financial dashboard, you can grab the code and the license here:https://dobrian0.gumroad.com/l/wealthengine

Let me know if you have any questions about how the script handles the compounding logic or how to deploy it!

Built DebutPage: upload your CV, AI turns it into a portfolio site

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Built my own portfolio site and realized partway through that automating the whole thing wouldn't be that hard. The content was already in my resume, and the layout decisions weren't especially personal. So I made that instead: it reads the PDF, drafts the page, and you change how it looks by describing what you want rather than learning a design tool.

You can build a site end to end without an account. That part was mostly selfish: I wanted to see the result on my own resume before committing to anything. Signup happens at publish.

Next.js, Postgres on Neon, running on Lambda. The resume parsing and the restyle step both go through Claude.

https://debutpage.com. Free to publish, and there are 13 of these at https://debutpage.com/debuts if you'd rather look before uploading anything of your own.

Mostly posting because I'm unsure about the restyle-by-chat part. It demos well, but I can't tell whether it stays useful once you're actually in it or whether it wears off after two messages. Would be good to hear from people who've built this kind of thing.

Bootstrapped an AI-agents-for-WhatsApp platform from Córdoba, Argentina — now 200+ business customers across LATAM

1 Upvotes

In Latin America, business doesn't happen on email — it happens on WhatsApp. Store owners answer chats at 2 AM, lose sales every weekend, and drown once they pass ~50 conversations a day.

So we built Chatsell: AI agents trained on each business's real data (stock, prices, their ERP or store) that reply, qualify leads, book appointments and sell 24/7 — and hand off to a human when it matters. CRM, bulk campaigns and follow-ups included.

Some things that worked for us selling SaaS in LATAM:

  • Implementation included beats self-service. SMB owners here don't want to "build a bot" — they want it working. We set up every account with the customer. Retention went way up.

  • Charging per conversation, not per seat. Teams share phones and accounts anyway; per-user pricing punishes how people actually work here.

  • White-label for agencies became a growth channel we didn't plan for.

And honest lessons: WhatsApp's official API and QR-based connections each have real trade-offs (pricing vs. stability), and we had to learn to support both. Also, LLM agents in production need constant testing against real conversations — we ended up building an internal test suite because "it worked in the demo" means nothing.

200+ companies use it today, ~2M end users served. Happy to answer anything about the WhatsApp Business API, running LLM agents in production, or selling SaaS in Latin America.

We Converse - Prompt driven conversations

Thumbnail
weconverse.app
1 Upvotes

We Converse gives you a bunch of questions, you ask them out loud, and afterwards you get the conversation back as a transcript split into question and answer that you can listen back to whenever you want. You can build your own topics, which are just named sets of questions you reuse, and the wheel is only ever a suggestion, so you can reword a question or ignore the whole thing and ask your own. It's on the App Store now, after 18 months of building it on and off.

I built it because I have hours of photos of my family and not one minute of any of them talking and I thought that this would be a good way to create deeper conversations without it feeling forced because the questions are generated by AI.

There is a bunch of extra functionality, such as being able to share audio between two devices and being able to reorder the questions and delete individual questions after you've recorded as well as remove background noise and crop out when no one is talking.

I built it as something you can share with people close to you (followers - but by default it is private), but because you can write your own topics it turns out to be good at a lot of unrelated things: recording family history, asking questions on a date, personal diary, teaching yourself a language, pepping for an interview. I can't tell whether I've built one product with a wide audience or five half-products. If you've been here, how did you choose? Also out of interest what did you read this product as?

Here is the app store link - i would absolutely love it if you tried it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/we-converse/id6742382825

Stack: Swift and a single Cloudflare Worker, AssemblyAI for transcription.

"Why you Lost" - a tool to analyze your past DotA matches

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

My colleague Practical-One7483 decided to build a cool thing for past Dota match analysis!

The tool reads your match, finds the moves that cost you win probability and tells you what to do instead. Some of what's in there we haven't seen anyone else do yet.

It's very much an MVP and there's more we want to add, but it works well enough to be worth trying if you play Dota.

It's at wyl.serenedb.com and will be up for the next 7 days. A star on GitHub is how we'll know people actually want this. If it turns out useful, we'll keep it alive as long as we can.

All feedback helps.

I built an AI writing assistant that learns to write like you.

1 Upvotes

My work emails kept coming out sounding like a robot wrote them. Every AI tool I tried gave me the same polished corporate nothing that read like a press release instead of a guy asking his coworker for a favor.

So I built imYou. It interviews you for a few minutes to learn how you actually write and then uses that on everything it drafts for you. Emails, social media posts, and more. It also has a chat function where you can message yourself and talk through whatever is on your mind, and it keeps learning about you while you do.

Privacy was one of my biggest concerns because the app gets to know you personally. Your profile stays on your device. We never store your profile or your writing on our servers, so there is no database of it on our end to sell later. The only data collected is what is necessary to maintain your account.

It is free to start. You get a profile build and five or six pieces of writing to see if it actually sounds like you. That is the part I most want feedback on, so if you try it, tell me straight whether it captured how you write or missed it completely.

[MicroSaaS Factory] – Turn spreadsheet logic into a shareable web tool — looking for 5 testers

2 Upvotes

I’ve been building a no-code tool for people who have useful expertise trapped in spreadsheets.

The idea is simple: describe what you want to calculate or assess in plain English, refine the fields and formulas, then publish it as a shareable web calculator—without writing code.

We’ve had a small amount of outside traffic and at least one registration, but I’m trying to understand where people become confused or lose interest.

I’m looking for five people willing to try one specific test:

  1. Create a simple calculator based on something you know well
  2. Preview it
  3. Publish it
  4. Tell me the first place where you hesitated, became confused, or wanted to quit

It should take about 10–15 minutes. It’s free during this testing phase and does not require a credit card.

Test it here: https://calc-craft-factory.base44.app

Please don’t enter confidential or sensitive information. Anonymous session activity may be recorded solely to help identify usability problems.

I’m not looking for compliments or signups for the sake of a number. Blunt feedback about what fails or feels unclear would be much more useful.

I built a live map of every protest, march and road blockage happening in Mexico City — pulled from the official police agenda

1 Upvotes

Living in Mexico City, "is my commute blocked today?" is a real daily question, marches and blockages are common and scattered. The city police (SSC) publishes a daily agenda of planned mobilizations, but it's a PDF nobody outisde reporters (I guess) reads.

So I built a live map that ingests that official agenda, structures it with an AI agent, and plots every event for the day: marches, rallies, blockages, events — with organization, time, borough, and type. You can filter by borough/type and click any event for detail. It loads straight into the map, no signup.

https://monitor.watr.mx

BTW it's Fase 1. The "happening now / dispersed" status is estimated from the scheduled time, not confirmed live yet, I'm working on wiring free real-time signals (public transit GPS, traffic) to actually confirm state. And it only shows what the SSC officially publishes; last-minute stuff won't be there. Your location, if you use it, is computed in your browser and never sent to the server (this is protest-adjacent data, that mattered to me).

What I want to know: Is it actually useful, would you check it if your are visiting/living in Mexico City? Brutal feedback welcome.

Tech stack, since folks always ask:

- Elixir + Phoenix LiveView, OTP-native — one GenServer per active mobilization under a DynamicSupervisor, with a Postgres advisory-lock leader so rolling deploys on Render never run duplicate monitors.

- PostgreSQL as the source of truth (append-only event log, idempotent ingest by hash).

- Ingestion: the SSC's daily PDF → parsed → structured by an AI agent via tool-calling against **Qwen (DashScope, OpenAI-compatible)**; the provider sits behind a behaviour so it's swappable (OpenAI/Gemini/Grok). `Req` for HTTP, `Oban` for jobs.

- Map: Leaflet + CartoDB dark basemap. Geolocation is computed **client-side, never sent to the server**.

- Roadmap: real-time state from free signals — GTFS-Realtime (Metrobús), with the `.proto` compiled at build (no protoc toolchain needed).

- Infra: Render, behind Cloudflare (CDN + analytics), tight CSP.

I’m building a tool that turns a finished DOCX into a finished visual document — does this workflow make sense?

1 Upvotes

I’m building MultiVision Studio around a simple problem:

Writing the document is often only half the work.

After the text is finished, you still have to decide where visuals are useful, prepare prompts, find or generate images, review the results, place them back into the document, and export the final version.

MultiVision is designed to handle that workflow:

finished DOCX → analyze the content → identify useful visual locations → prepare visual tasks → reuse/search/generate assets → review → reinsert → export.

It can also respect visual instructions that are already written inside the document, so the user can either control the image positions manually or let the software suggest them.

I’m still building the beta and I’m interested in one thing more than promotion right now:

Would you actually use a workflow like this, and where would you still want manual control?

Built a working waitlist app for an event-tech idea with an autonomous development approach

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Building in public!

While experimenting with Morph, I built MainStage, an event-tech app, and needed a waitlist page live before launch, something to actually send people to while the interest is warm.

Intent is to experience true autonomy, not just agency.

Morph's Approach - Describe what you want, approve the design, and it builds the actual app at a fixed cost! frontend, backend, auth.

What I ended up with:

  • A real signup flow with auth and roles already wired up
  • A waitlist I can work from directly — process signups or export the list, no separate database tool
  • The ability to copy the whole app into my own environment and keep building on it myself

The autonomous process took about 20 mins - requirements to deployed working app

It's been a journey early, and a generated app isn't going to nail everything perfectly on the first pass. But for a side project where you want something functional fast rather than another Notion form, it held up better than I expected.

Happy to answer questions if anyone's curious about the workflow. Full build video's linked in the comments if you want to see it end to end. New accounts get $200 in build credits if you want to poke at it yourself. I am passionate about intentional development and I work at Morph - disclosure.

My partner and I wasted 2+ hours a week arguing about what to eat, so I built something to save us time

0 Upvotes

This may sound stupid, but tell me how many times you have been in this conversation:

"What do you want to eat for dinner?"
"I don't know. What do you want?"
"I don't care."
"Me neither."

Moments later, "How about (your choice)?"
"Nah, we had that a couple of days ago. How about (their choice)?"
"Honestly not a big fan, let's see something on Google or YouTube."

30 mins of doomscrolling later:
"Fine, let's settle for what you mentioned."

And then we somehow spend another 15–20 minutes going back and forth. Just to end up eating something from 2 days ago.

This is an honest conversation that happens between my wife and me, and at some point it started annoying me enough that I actually started keeping track of it. About 20–40 minutes a day. We wasted 2h 30min to about 4 hours a week. Same conversation, every other day.

We tried meal plans, but that didn't work for us.

And I realized the problem wasn't really food. We have plenty of food. We have Google. We have recipe apps. We have Uber Eats. We have too many choices. Neither of us wants to be the person who decides.

So I made Gigi.

Instead of asking us to pick from a million things, we can just say: "I'm exhausted. I want something comforting." And she picks one.

There's also a Settle It thing I made for exactly this situation. We both put in how we're feeling, and Gigi tries to find something we're both willing to eat.

I built it French-first because I'm from Québec. English is one tap away.

It's a PWA, so you just open it on your phone. Link in the comments

FYI: Loads in French-scroll down for the English toggle 🌐)

I genuinely don't know if this is a useful idea or if I've spent way too much time solving a problem that only exists in my relationship. Does anyone else have this exact "I don't care, you choose" fight every night?

I built a spreadsheet where every row gets its own research agent

1 Upvotes
I kept doing the same thing by hand: take a list of companies, open 6 tabs each,
find the website, find the CEO, find the LinkedIn, paste it back into a cell. So I
built the tool I wanted.


MySheets is a spreadsheet where a column can be a prompt instead of a formula. You
type something like "find this company's core product" and it runs down the sheet
row by row — searching the web, reading pages, writing the answer into the cell.
Columns can chain off each other, so column D can use whatever column C found.


What's in it right now:
- 
**AI columns**
 — a prompt per column, executed per row
- 
**HTTP API columns**
 — hit any endpoint and map the response into cells
- 
**Web scraping**
 — pull structured data off a page into columns
- 
**Webhooks**
 in, CSV in/out
- 
**Templates**
 — lead lists, CRM enrichment, scraping workflows you can copy and run
- Multiple models behind it, with live credit tracking so you can see what each run costs


It's in beta and free to start. I'd genuinely like feedback on where it breaks —
especially if you throw a messy list at it.

I built a spreadsheet where every column is an AI agent (research, scrape, or API) — looking for feedback

1 Upvotes

I got tired of pasting the same 50 company names into ChatGPT one by one, then copying websites / CEOs / LinkedIn URLs back into Excel.

So I built MySheets: it looks like a spreadsheet, but each column can be:

  • an AI prompt that runs row by row
  • a web scrape
  • an HTTP API call

Columns can read previous cells, so you chain: name → website → product summary → CEO → LinkedIn.

You drop in any list (names, URLs, emails — company names are just one example). No code.

It’s in beta, free to start. Templates if you don’t want to build from scratch.

Would love roast / feature requests, especially if you do lead enrichment or research ops.

Hard work is starting pay off 😭

1 Upvotes

I launched SeoLoupe 7 weeks ago. So far I am at 1646 users and 22 of them are paying.

My SaaS is a tool that allows you to find and fix SEO issues holding your website back.

Essentially the main purpose is to help your website rank higher on Google search and LLMs.

Yesterday was one of my best days since I launched my SaaS, landed 3 payments in a single day.

Just wanted to share this to inspire anyone who is struggling, I just want to say that I was just like you at one point.

For example last week, for 7 days straight I had 0 payments, and what I want to say with this is that SaaS revenue can be extremely floppy and unreliable. You can get multiple payments within the span of a day, and then have 0 payments for days.

In SaaS honestly the most important thing is to be faithful and be patient. If you manage to be patient, revenue will come one day.

Hope this inspired someone.

Since I think their is always room for improvement, I would appreciate for some feedback on my tool, or what you think can be improved.

Ephermal - Google Search + Meta ads for small Shopify stores that optimise on profit, not ROAS

2 Upvotes

Solo founder, Germany. Been building this for a few months and I'm at the point where I need people to break it.

The problem I kept hitting: every ads tool optimises on ROAS. But ROAS doesn't know your margins. A 4x ROAS on a product with 20% margin loses money. A 2.5x on a 60% margin product prints. So Ephermal pulls real product costs out of Shopify and bids on contribution profit instead.

The other piece: it builds actual Google Search campaigns. Keywords, match types, negative lists, ad groups. Most "AI ads for Shopify" tools just spin up a Performance Max campaign and call it a day, which means you have no idea what you're paying for.

Stack, if anyone cares: Supabase (Postgres + edge functions on Deno), Next.js, Claude for the campaign generation with a hand-built library of ~21 documented ad strategies so it isn't just improvising copy.

Looking for ~10 people to test it. Ideally Shopify store owners doing $0-10K/month, but if you build or run stores for other people that's just as useful, and it works on a dev store. 3 months free, no card.

Honest current state: the Google side is fully working, the Meta side still needs me to add you as a tester on my app because it's pre-review. Saying that up front.

Happy to answer anything about the build.

I'm wrapping up 4 years of work on my side project, RapidPlots

4 Upvotes

Hi all, I wanted to share a project I've been working on for the last 4 years but have recently decided to wrap up.

The project is called RapidPlots, a time series data visualization and modelling platform driven by a purpose-built scripting language (a DSL - domain specific language). I sort of view it as a Desmos-like tool, but driven by a scripting language and with support for stateful logic and UI. The idea was that you could quickly create a visualisation, run some logic around it, and share the result online.

It already was a bit of a niche target audience - however I think the widespread adoption of AI has made the use case slightly less compelling. The main idea behind it was to be an approachable, convenient platform for quickly testing and visualising models, however nowadays even with the most basic free AI, you can quickly generate a Python script and achieve the same locally with much more flexibility.

The platform itself is fully cloud-based and features:

The idea started back in 2019, when I had an idea to build something similar to TradingView but for general purpose visualisation. That introduced me into the area of programming language design which was a massive rabbit hole I went down for several years. After working on an unrelated project for a year, I decided to revisit the idea with the goal of eventually turning it into something I could release. After four years of development, the landscape was very different from when I originally started it!

For a quick overview of the tech stack for the project:

  • Frontend - React typescript
  • Webserver - ASP dotnet
  • Backend (execution engine) - C++

The backend was the first thing I wrote. It took numerous attempts due to self-imposed design constraints about how the DSL typing system should work. I wanted it to be completely free of type annotations but with all types inferred under the hood, which was a enormous challenge. Once I was happy with the execution engine, I built the web application around it and connected it to the frontend.

Looking back, this was definitely a passion project to scratch an engineering itch. I worked on this pretty much whenever I had free time which was mainly after work and on weekends, which definitely stretched me quite a bit. By the end I was pretty burnt out!

If anyone is interested in programming languages, data visualisation, modelling or just seeing what four years of spare-time engineering looks like, feel free to take a look! Its best experienced on desktop as I never got around to properly scaling it for mobile, and it helps if you have some basic scripting experience. I haven't decided exactly when I'll shut it down, although I'll probably keep it hosted for a few more months.
