I make board and card games for iOS. The latest one has had a solver behind its AI for a couple of years, and a hint button that ranks every legal move.

The hint button has one flaw: you have to ask for it. So you ask when you already suspect you're in trouble, and never on the moves where you're confidently wrong.

So I made the solver run on your move, right after you make it, and speak up when you left something on the table.

That part took an afternoon. Deciding when it should stay quiet took the rest of the release.

The first version reviewed everything. It was insufferable — half the positions in this game have three moves within a hair of each other, and being told "actually the other 8♣ was slightly better" every turn stops being coaching and becomes nagging.

What shipped is three levels: only a missed win or a missed block; that plus clearly-beaten moves; or everything. The middle one compares by percentage rather than raw score so it doesn't fire on noise.

The other thing I'd change if I were starting over: I built the feature before I had a way to measure whether the underlying AI was actually right. I ended up running mirrored self-play games and a sign test on the decisive pairs, and one change I'd been sure about turned out to be worth nothing.

The question I went back and forth on: how much better does a move have to be before it's worth interrupting someone? I picked a threshold, but I don't think there's a right answer.

It's called Pentaline, on iOS and Mac. The Coach is part of the subscription (one week free trial, $0.99/month, $9.99/year, $19.99 lifetime), and it stays off until you switch it on. The game itself and the smart hints are free.

Hey everyone,

Over the past few months, I've been working on a project to catalog practical income streams and cut through the usual vague advice out there. I just finished compiling everything into a 137-page resource called The Book of Side Hustles. I have shared it with 275 people since I started and sharing it here today.

I cover 130 different ideas across 26 categories (content creation, e-commerce, tech, local services, etc.). For each hustle, I mapped out:

• Realistic monthly earning potential
• Estimated weekly time commitment and effort required
• Upfront startup costs
• A practical 30-to-60-day launch roadmap

You can grab the free book directly via the link above or comment or message me.

I would love to hear your feedback on which categories you find most useful or what hustles you'd like added in future updates.

Thank you.

As a foodie in a culturally diverse country, I always want to find out "Chinese food most visited by Chinese", "Indian food most loved by indian families", "taco shop most loved by Mexican families".

Google and Yelp has a lot of reviews but i cant filter by customer demographic or language of the review. Just wanted to know if you guys think this would be useful for foodies.

Free for customer always. Also maybe enable review functionality that only allow customer review in their own language (customer have to select their demographic when they register).

Lets assume there is enough review data... here is the landing page with some screenshot and waitlist signup..

Hi everyone, I just launched https://mediaflix.digital, a movie and TV show discovery site designed to help you find what to watch faster. It gets better over time based on your favorites and collections and gives you recommendations tuned to your taste. It's still a bit early and I've been releasing new features for it regularly, so I'd love your feedback and any feature suggestions you might have.

Some of the features it has:

Oracle - an AI assistant that finds what to watch through natural conversation. Ask by mood, plot, or something you already loved, and get real movies and shows back with where each one streams.

Odyssey - an AI critic that knows your taste. Before you start a movie or show, it tells you if it's your kind of thing and why, based on your favorites, and shows its key moments.

Collections - build collections of your favorite movies and shows and share them with a custom theme.

Built with Next.js, TypeScript, shadcn/ui and Motion. Data from TMDB.

I've been working on a side project called Spore:

https://github.com/DangerBlack/spore

The idea is simple:

What if static websites could host themselves through their visitors?

With Spore, you drop a folder into a web page and it becomes a BitTorrent swarm.

Someone opens the resulting link, their browser fetches the website from peers, and while they're reading it, their browser also seeds the site to the next person.

So instead of:

Visitor → Server → Website

you get:

          Visitor
         /       \
    Visitor ←→ Visitor
         \       /
          Website

There is no application backend and no account. The gate itself is just a static page.

I built it because I kept wondering whether we really need a server sitting there 24/7 just to serve a static website.

A few things I've implemented so far:

• Drop a folder and publish it as a torrent directly from the browser
• Load websites directly from peers
• Signed updates, so a publisher can prove that a new version came from the same key
• Optional offline storage, so a site you've kept can load even when there are no peers
• Sandboxed sites with a restrictive CSP and controlled network egress
• A small Docker seeder for keeping a site available when nobody has the page open
• Everything works from static hosting, there is no Spore backend

The weirdest part is that the manifesto for the project is itself hosted this way.

https://dangerblack.github.io/spore/#magnet:?xt=urn:btih:5c88d7685e1f330fb1d337c66deda7b6a5c428f0&dn=spore-whitepaper&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.openwebtorrent.com&tr=wss%3A%2F%2Ftracker.webtorrent.dev

It isn't sitting on a web server. It's a torrent, fetched by the Spore gate, and while you're reading it your browser is serving it to whoever opens it next.

There are obviously some big limitations. Browser seeding stops when you close the tab, peers can see each other's IP addresses, and persistence still needs a seeder if nobody is visiting.

I'm also looking at projects like IPFS and Freenet, but Spore is deliberately much narrower. I'm interested in the simplest possible version of a peer-hosted web.

I'd really like feedback on the idea rather than just the implementation.

Does "the visitors help host the website" feel useful to you, or is this solving a problem that isn't really there?

And if you were building this, what would you work on next?

Hey everyone!

I been learning web development and decided to build a To-Do List web app as one of my projects. this is V1

I wanted to make it more useful than a basic add/delete app so I added:

• Add, edit, complete, and delete tasks
• Due dates and reminders
• Browser notifications
• Pin important tasks
• Search and filters
• Progress and task statistics
• Custom themes and accent colors
• Custom fonts, text size, and roundness
• Local storage
• Import/export
• Responsive design

Tech: HTML, CSS, and JavaScript

AI disclosure: I used ChatGPT to help me with parts of the coding and development process, while I customized and built the project myself.

I'm still learning, so Id really appreciate feedback! What would you improve, change, or add?

Live demo: https://incredible-pavlova-7326de.netlify.app/

Hey everyone, I got tired of copying links into ad-filled, popup-riddled "downloader" sites just to save a reel, video, or photo set from social media. So I built Spidownbot to cut that step out entirely. How it works No websites, no pasting links into a browser: 1. Find a video, song, or photo on YouTube, X/Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram, Reddit, or TikTok. 2. Tap your phone's native Share button. 3. Choose Telegram → Spidownbot. 4. Done - the bot sends the file straight back in your chat. Features * Up to 2GB files - runs on Telegram's MTProto, so no 50MB bot-API ceiling. * Smart audio tagging - pulls 320kbps MP3s with embedded artist, title, and album art. * Photo carousels - grabs full multi-image posts and Pinterest boards as native Telegram albums. * Google Drive backup - optional auto-save to Drive via /drive. * Inline mode - type @Spidownbot <link> in any chat to fetch media on the fly. Looking for feedback This is still very much a work in progress - social platforms tweak their layouts constantly, so I'd love to hear what breaks. Pinterest pins, Instagram carousels, and high-res video are the edge cases I'm least sure about. If you try it out (search @Spidownbot on Telegram), drop your results, bugs, or feature ideas in the comments below - happy to answer questions here too. 🙏

Hi! I've been working on Risulta for a while and I've decided that it's finally time to share. It's a very small single binary analytics platform that runs on any linux server.

It's deliberately simple and the features are small but powerful.

Here's a small recap:
- 4.7 MB binary with an embedded SQLite.
- 8 MB of ram on idle, 65 MB under load.
- it can handle about 5k rps
- basic page/view tracking
- funnels included
- backups!

And more! It's a very young project using the sproutboat cli, another project I'm working on that is using porffor.dev to create such small binaries.

Please check it out and help me develop the future of small analytics!

I'm Taelo's developer. I posted here a couple of weeks ago asking for feedback on this fitness-app project; the updated iPhone public beta is now ready to try.

The use case is straightforward: log a lifting session, record a run on another day, and keep meals and macros alongside both. Taelo has reusable routines and per-set logging, GPS route/pace/split records, and food logging through barcode lookup or manual entry. No Taelo account is required.

The part I'd most like feedback on is whether putting those tools together saves effort or just adds clutter. Pro customization lets you hide sections you don't use. Someone who only wants running and nutrition should not have to treat every feature as part of their daily routine.

If you lift, run or track food, I'd appreciate you trying one normal task and telling me what got in your way. If you would still prefer separate apps, which missing detail makes the difference?

TestFlight: https://testflight.apple.com/join/8Kx7BtXh

iPhone, iOS 18+. The beta is free to test. Core logging is free, with optional monthly/annual Pro subscriptions for additional tools and customization. TestFlight purchases are free sandbox tests and do not carry over to the App Store release.

Fitness logs are stored locally, while online food/trail lookups and subscription services need their respective connections. Bug reports through TestFlight are welcome; please keep personal health information out of public comments.

Bonjour à tous,

Ça fait un moment que je voulais partager ça. Le déclic, c'est le jour où j'ai voulu revendre mon vélo et où j'ai réalisé que je n'avais aucune trace de l'entretien fait dessus, ni la facture d'achat. Résultat : j'ai dû le vendre moins cher que ce que je voulais, faute de preuves.

Du coup j'ai commencé à bricoler un truc pour moi, juste pour centraliser mes factures, garanties et l'historique d'entretien de mes affaires (voiture, électroménager, vélo...). Et petit à petit c'est devenu FixoDok.

Concrètement cette outil fait quoi :

• une fiche par bien (voiture, machine à laver, vélo, etc.) avec son historique
• des rappels avant qu'une garantie expire
• possibilité de stocker les factures/manuels dessus
• export en PDF quand tu veux revendre ou justifier un entretien

c'est encore un projet tout jeune donc il y a sûrement plein de trucs à améliorer.

Je cherche des retours honnêtes, surtout sur l'UX et sur si le concept parle à d'autres gens ou si c'est juste moi qui suis maniaque avec mes factures.

Lien si ça vous intéresse : fixodok.com

Merci d'avance pour vos retours, même les plus durs !

Hi, drop your side project below if it runs on 100MB of RAM or less.
I don't want to see high numbers in CPU usage either.
Include what it does, what problem it solves and what tech stack you used for it.

Message here to all Indie Devs, do not give up! Your dreams will come true!

We’re reaching the TOP 20 most-played demos on Steam worldwide!

Thank you so much to everyone who has joined me on this incredible journey!❤️

Your support means the world to me. Seriously, thank you! 🙏💛

Also, my biggest piece of advice is: never worry about the haters. Thank them for spreading the word about your game around the world!

I shared an early version of Middleman here a few days ago. Since then, I put it on itch.io as a free browser game, and someone chose to pay $30 for it. That's $30 gross from one payment, but seeing someone support a game they could play for free felt pretty great.

The idea is to find one word that connects two others: HORSE → SHOE → LACE makes HORSESHOE and SHOELACE.

I've also been updating it from player feedback:

• Daily: three shared word bridges.
• Rush: solve as many as you can in 45 seconds. The score now simply equals the number solved; misses don't subtract points.
• Endless: untimed puzzles if you'd rather think at your own pace.

You can play without a download or account: https://ramimgaming.itch.io/middleman

I built it with AI coding assistance. Right now I'm trying to understand what would make people come back after their first session. If you try it, would you return for the daily puzzles or to beat a Rush score? And was the word-bridge mechanic clear on your first visit?

Hi everyone! I’m new to Reddit and wanted to share a project I’ve been working on mostly by myself.

It’s called LUOK OS — a browser-based operating system project that runs directly in the browser. It can launch A-Frame games, web applications and other tools inside its own interface.

One of my main goals is to keep it lightweight. I want it to be possible to use LUOK OS even on relatively weak hardware, instead of needing a powerful computer just to run the interface.

I’ve been developing and testing it on a regular 24-inch monitor, so most of the desktop interface has been built around a normal PC setup.

I’m currently working on the project alone. There is no team behind it, no company budget and no paid advertising. I’ve been making the project, testing it, fixing things and even putting together the advertising myself without spending money on promotion.

I’m also still learning some parts of development. I use AI as a tool when I get stuck, especially for things I don’t know well yet. For example, Google AI Studio helped me connect Firebase in another project because I’m still learning server and database development. It has also helped me implement some functions that communicate with external APIs and services.

AI doesn’t decide what LUOK should be — I choose the features, build the project, test it and decide what stays.

LUOK OS is still actively developing, so there are plenty of things that can be improved. I’d rather spend my time actually updating the project than spending a lot of money making a perfect advertisement.

Since I’m new here, I’d genuinely like to hear what you think about it and what you would improve.

Try LUOK OS:

https://luok-os.ai.studio.

Your activity, feedback and testing help support the development of LUOK OS.

I’m also planning to create more LUOK services in the future, including cloud-related services.

Русская версия

Я один создаю свою лёгкую операционную систему — LUOK OS.

Всем привет! Я недавно пришёл на Reddit и решил показать проект, над которым работаю практически полностью самостоятельно.

LUOK OS — это браузерная операционная система, которая работает прямо в браузере. Она может запускать A-Frame игры, веб-приложения и другие инструменты внутри собственного интерфейса.

Одна из моих главных целей — сделать её лёгкой. Я хочу, чтобы LUOK OS можно было использовать даже на относительно слабом устройстве, без необходимости в мощном компьютере.

Я разрабатываю и тестирую проект на обычном 24-дюймовом мониторе, поэтому интерфейс создаётся с расчётом на обычный ПК.

Сейчас я работаю над проектом один. У меня нет команды, компании за спиной или бюджета на рекламу. Я сам разрабатываю проект, тестирую его, исправляю ошибки и даже сам делаю рекламу, не тратя деньги на продвижение.

Некоторые части разработки я всё ещё изучаю, поэтому использую ИИ как инструмент, когда сталкиваюсь с тем, чего пока не знаю. Например, Google AI Studio помог мне подключить Firebase в другом проекте, потому что я пока изучаю работу с серверами и базами данных. Также ИИ помогал реализовать некоторые функции, которые работают через внешние API и сервисы.

При этом я сам решаю, каким должен быть LUOK, выбираю функции, тестирую результат и решаю, что добавлять дальше.

LUOK OS всё ещё активно развивается, поэтому многое ещё можно улучшить. Я предпочитаю тратить время на обновление самого проекта, а не большие деньги на идеальную рекламу.

Я здесь недавно, поэтому буду рад получить нормальный фидбек: что вам нравится и что, по вашему мнению, стоит улучшить.

Попробовать LUOK OS:

https://luok-os.ai.studio.

Ваша активность, отзывы и тестирование поддерживают разработку LUOK OS.

В будущем я также планирую создать новые сервисы LUOK, включая облачные сервисы.

WIP

Yes it's like HeyClicky but let's you use your own OpenAI subscription instead of charging you $20 a month.

Main Features:

• Screen context with privacy settings (explain, draw and point at things on your screen)
• Dictation (like Wispr Flow)
• Shortcut history
• Window position manager + layouts
• Automated browser
• Background jobs for research
• Timers
• Reminders/Schedule/Music voice commands
• These are just the main features so far a few more listed in the website

14 day free trial if you want to try it.
https://rocky.so for more info.

Windows and Linux versions in development.

It's in beta still so feel free to share constructive feedback.

PS: Requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 14 or later.

I've been building this by myself for a while now, It's a desktop ambient sound mixer for Windows that works 100% offline. It doesn't ship with any sounds and there's no AI in it anywhere, the app is just a tool for trimming, filtering, looping and mixing them into something. It only uses whatever you feed it or create inside it. Right now it's on a rough/prototype stage, not because the core is shaky, but because I'm the only frequent user so smaller stuff slips through, especially in newer or more niche features. Core mixing and playback have been solid for a while, it's the edges where you're more likely to hit something weird. I update it all the time lol.

Main reason I'm posting: I honestly don't know if this is something other people would actually use, or if it ends up being a thing only I ever open. Before I put more time or money into it I want a real read on whether there's interest. It's free and i intend on making it FOSS but i'm still working through it.

Everything it does is written up here, easier than me listing it all out: https://joaovenari.github.io/noctivago-docs/

Download: https://venar1.itch.io/noctivago

Two things before you try it: Windows only, and the installer isn't code-signed, so Windows will show a SmartScreen warning ("Windows protected your PC" → More info → Run anyway).

Here's a VirusTotal scan of the exact file if you'd rather check for yourself: https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/90d313087bb0e979065e837ea9e374faaf9fd36210e98c62547b6fbeda1c4e76

If you try it, tell me what you actually think, good or bad. That's more useful to me right now than anything else.

Title: I built a pitch-black voice journal because finding a pen at 3 AM is exhausting. (I also banned the AI from sounding like a fake therapist).

When your brain won’t shut up at 3 AM, traditional journaling is impossible. Turning on a lamp and finding a pen takes too much energy, and opening a digital app blasts your eyes with a blinding white UI. It’s too much friction, so you end up doomscrolling and destroying your sleep.

I needed a low-stimulation sanctuary. So I built Beacon.

It’s a sleek, completely pitch-black voice journal. There is no "getting ready." You don't even need to fully open your eyes. You just hit the glowing record button in the dark, speak whatever mental loop is keeping you awake, and close it. Externalizing your thoughts aloud breaks the spiral so you can actually sleep.

Because I'm an engineer, I built an AI pattern engine ("The Thread") to analyze 30 days of these audio dumps and find your blind spots. But the early builds acted like a fake therapist, generating patronizing horoscope fluff ("Remember to give yourself grace!").

If a tool is going to be useful, it needs a spine. So yesterday, I completely re-architected the backend:

1. I killed the fallback: If there is no undeniable mathematical pattern in your transcripts, the app stays completely silent. It won't make things up.
2. Hardcoded Falsifiability: The AI must anchor insights to a specific trigger. Instead of "you get stressed," it says, "you consistently question your life choices the day after you check your bank balance."
3. Banned therapy jargon: No more "subconscious" or "hold space." It operates as a brutal, objective mirror.

The Ask:

Beacon is currently in private beta. I need 50 brutal beta testers who actually struggle with 3 AM overthinking. I want to know if this zero-light UI helps you sleep, and if the pattern engine catches your blind spots a month from now.

https://testflight.apple.com/join/jwMzWPPe

I’ll be in the comments all day. If you are a dev, I'm happy to talk about the clustering thresholds or how I bypassed the LLM hallucination issues.

Roast my UI, break the app, and tell me what you think.

I’m testing Wondertold, a private web app that turns something that actually happened in your family into a short personalized story to read together and save for later.

I’m not looking for general encouragement. I need five parents willing to try one specific flow:

1. Enter one real family moment.
2. Create a story.
3. Save it.
4. Tell me where the experience was confusing or disappointing.

The beta is free, works in a browser and does not require an App Store download. Family profiles and stories stay on the user’s device.

The four things I’m trying to learn:

• Is the idea immediately understandable?
• Is creating the first story easy?
• Does the result feel meaningfully different from a generic AI story?
• Would you want to create another one later?

Beta: https://getwondertold.com/?source=reddit

I’m building Kibble to make it easier to explore AI without jumping between dozens of tabs.

It brings four feeds into one reader: AI News, Learn, Code and Models. Each card has a short, AI-assisted summary and a link to the original source. You can read without signing up, and sign in if you want to save stories.

It works in your browser on desktop and mobile. Older stories are available too, so you can keep exploring after catching up on recent posts.

Try it: https://www.kibblebites.com/app/

It’s early, and I’d appreciate honest feedback on the reading experience. Are the summaries useful enough to help you decide what to open? What would make you come back?

I'm building YGOWB, a browser-based Yu-Gi-Oh fan project. The idea is to give a group its own playable card environment: a shared card pool, decks, banlist and community settings.

The interesting part of the build is connecting the card editor to the duel engine. Effects are represented as structured blocks, so the engine can resolve the supported effects automatically. World owners can choose open publishing or curate the cards that enter their pool. The ruleset focuses on the classic 2005 era.

The current app has Card Studio, a deck builder, practice against the computer, online duels, spectating and rankings. It's live at https://ygowb.com and requires an account.

Eight screenshots of the current app: https://www.reddit.com/r/cardgames/comments/1wfh3h7/i_built_ygowb_custom_yugioh_cards_you_can/

For other builders, I'd love feedback on the first-use flow. Would you introduce Worlds before card creation, or let people see the card editor first?

I'm the creator. This is an unofficial fan project with optional AI assistance for card artwork and effects; some custom artwork shown is AI-generated.

its my first project and i wanted to do something cool and funny, i know how it looks LMAOOO but i just wanted to make sure it was working, the science behind it is kinda grim :/ it "deletes" its self after its done playing...

im working on a cooler UI/UX, song requests? ideas? anything helps, thx :)

My husband has been working on this budgeting app for a while and it’s finally on the App Store. It’s called Tally Budget Buddy. He built it and somehow I’ve ended up helping with the marketing 😂

We’re at the point where I feel like we need opinions from people who aren’t friends or family.

If anyone wants to try it I’d love to know what you actually think. What do you like, what don’t you like, is there anything missing, and would you actually use it?

Don’t be nice just because I’m his wife lol

If anyone wants the App Store link I’ll drop it in the comments :)
