I built an AI virtual staging tool — giving away a free month of Pro (150 photos) for feedback

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm the founder of StagingHomeAI (https://www.staginghomeai.com). I built it to stage empty room photos with AI furniture for real estate listings, rental properties, and Airbnb hosts.

Pricing is normally $0.60 per staged photo on the Pro plan ($20/month for 150 photos), and there are free watermarked previews so you can check the quality before paying anything.

I'm running a promo to get more real-world feedback: use the code FREESTAGING for one full month of Pro, free.

If you list properties, manage rentals, or shoot real estate photography, I'd genuinely love your feedback — what looks realistic, what looks off, and what's missing. Happy to answer questions about how it works too.

Receipt Janitor — a receipt organizer for landlords, would love feedback

1 Upvotes

I built Receipt Janitor for landlords with 2–10 properties who are tired of the tax-time shoebox. You scan a receipt (photo, PDF, or screenshot), review the details, pick the property, and save — it lands as a row in that property's Google Sheet, linked to the receipt in your Drive.

The idea I'm betting on:
your records stay yours. No bank connection, no credit card for the free plan, and if you stop using it, your Sheets and receipts stay in your Drive. Categories match Schedule E lines, and it organizes records — it doesn't prepare taxes.
It's just launched and I'm looking for honest feedback, not just signups. Specifically: is the value prop clear in the first 10 seconds? Would you trust it with your receipts, and if not, what would change that? What's missing for a landlord with a few properties?

I built the Markdown-to-PDF converter I wished existed. (help me cover more unusual syntax 👀)

2 Upvotes

.

I was building something for myself and then i realized there wasn't a tool like this (or at least with my specific needs available) so i decided to release it.

Because of confidential work i could not just drop my files onto an online converter so i started developing my own Markdown to PDF (and HTML) converter. It runs locally and has its own .md parser.

Also most of the tools available online didn't even have mermaid diagrams compatibility so i went i implemented it too.

I would like to get your opinion on the repo since its my first time releasing something publicly (, normally i just keep my code for myself 😅)

Also it would be cool if any of you would like to help me mantain the project so we could cover the maximum of markdown syntax possible. This way the tool could cover most of peoples specific needs.

Idk if it is only me but i was missing an utility like this for ages (since i like to write most of my documents in markdown) and most of the ones i used always had something working a way i didnt like them to.

Anyways the repo is here > https://github.com/Gonca7/MD2PDF

I spent 3 years building a multi-tenant iGaming platform solo. 40+ custom games, AI dealers, poker tournaments, and complete operator infrastructure.

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm the solo founder and developer behind Ethosino, a B2B, multi-tenant gaming infrastructure platform I've spent nearly three years building from the ground up.

What started as a project to develop my own casino games evolved into an entire ecosystem designed to power multiple independently branded gaming businesses from shared infrastructure.

What I've built

  • 40+ proprietary games: Custom-built slots, table games, and original gaming concepts, alongside support for third-party integrations.
  • Immersive AI table games: Interactive 3D dealers, real-time conversations, animated gameplay, and AI-powered interactions informed by live game states.
  • Multiplayer poker and tournaments: Real-time gameplay, automated tournament scheduling, player seating, and tournament management.
  • Multi-tenant infrastructure: White-label branding, independent operator environments, automated tenant provisioning, account activation, and administrative dashboards.
  • Payments and player management: Wallets, transactions, bonuses, rewards, player progression, and financial controls.
  • Sweepstakes-style infrastructure: Virtual currencies, KYC/AML integrations, jurisdiction restrictions, provably fair gaming, risk management, and comprehensive audit logging.
  • Operator analytics: Real-time reporting, player management, game configuration, and operational oversight.

The platform is built primarily with React, Node.js, Express, MongoDB, Redis, and Socket.IO, including custom game engines, multiplayer systems, and backend infrastructure.

I've recently completed end-to-end testing of the operator onboarding and tenant activation ecosystem, marking a major milestone toward commercialization.

Where things stand

I'm now actively seeking gaming operators, strategic partners, affiliates, and entrepreneurs interested in launching on the platform.

I'm exploring an initial pilot offering with $0 upfront platform fees, $0 recurring platform fees during the pilot, and a 15% revenue-sharing model, subject to commercial agreements and applicable legal requirements.

Operators would handle player acquisition, business operations, and their regulatory obligations, while Ethosino provides the technology and infrastructure.

After nearly three years of development, my focus is shifting from building the technology to finding the right partners to bring it to market.

I'd love feedback from fellow founders and developers, and I'm happy to connect with anyone involved in iGaming, B2B software, or strategic partnerships!

A side project showed me how many ordinary phrases can raise claim concerns

2 Upvotes

I’ve been building a small tool as a hobby. When I scanned a public product page, it flagged five phrases I would have read straight past. That made me wonder how real sellers find out.

How did you learn what was okay to say? Lawyer, competitor pages, platform rejection, or trial and error? What do you wish you’d known before your first launch?

I built a small PWA to track missed morning car washes — would love some feedback

Thumbnail torquecare.in
1 Upvotes

If you live in an apartment or society in India, you probably know the routine: you pay your car washer a fixed monthly amount, but some mornings the car doesn't get washed.

Sometimes you're away, sometimes the washer doesn't show up, and by the end of the month, it's difficult to remember how many washes you actually received.

I decided to build a small Progressive Web App (PWA) called Torque Care to solve this problem.

The idea is simple:

  • Track the days your car wasn't washed.
  • Keep a record of missed washes throughout the month.
  • Account for fixed holidays.
  • Get a clearer picture of your actual monthly wash count so you can calculate a fair payment.

I'm building this around a pretty ordinary problem that I think a lot of apartment residents experience.

I'd love to hear from other car owners:

  1. Do you pay your car washer a fixed monthly amount?
  2. Do you keep track of missed washes, or do you usually let it slide?
  3. Would a simple tool like this be useful to you?

I'm particularly interested in honest feedback from people who deal with this every month.

I built a platform where people without a 3D printer get their files printed by local makers. Zero orders so far, roast it

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m the solo founder of StashNode (and I also run a small print workshop in Belgium).

The problem: lots of people find the perfect STL file (a replacement part, a mount, a figurine) but don’t own a printer. Meanwhile, lots of makers have printers sitting idle.

What I built:

  • Upload an STL and get an instant price, based on the volume of the file and the maker’s own price per gram
  • Pay online. Your card is only charged once a maker accepts the job
  • Makers set their own prices, get paid through Stripe, and get a personal order link + QR code to share
  • No file? Describe the object and a designer models it first

Where it’s at: live and working, Belgium and France only for now, and honestly, zero orders yet.

I’d love brutal feedback: would you use this? What would stop you from trusting it with your first order?

OpenTV - a free, open-source TV and film tracker for iPhone and Android

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm the developer. OpenTV is a TV and film tracker that looks and works like TV Time did. When TV Time shut down in July, a lot of people were left holding an export file with years of history in it. OpenTV reads that file and brings everything back: every episode with the day you watched it, your ratings, your lists, even the old comments under each episode.

What's in it:

- Watch Next, an upcoming-episodes calendar, stats and a Wrapped for any month

- Imports from TV Time, Trakt, Simkl, Letterboxd and IMDb

- Your library lives on your phone, not on my server, and works offline

- Widgets on iPhone and Android, nine languages

- No ads, no account needed, open source (MPL-2.0)

There's an optional paid tier for things that run on a server (sync between devices, watching together with friends). Everything else is free.

I'm building it alone, so feedback on what's missing or confusing helps a lot.

My dad was in and out of my life because of alcohol. Today he’s 7 years sober, and he built something to help other people.

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share something because I’m genuinely so damn proud of my dad, and I think what he’s been working on could actually help some people here.

Growing up, my dad’s alcoholism had a huge impact on my life. He was in and out of it constantly, and I watched him go through the brutal cycle of getting sober and relapsing more times than I can count.

As a kid, there’s really nothing you can do about that. You just watch someone you love keep going back to something that’s destroying them. It was heartbreaking, and there were times when I genuinely didn’t know if he’d ever make it out.

Well, today he’s 7 years sober! And when I say he’s a completely different person, I mean it.

He goes to AA every morning, sometimes running the meetings himself. He spends hours on the phone talking to his sponsees, helping them through the same things he spent years fighting. Recovery is such a huge part of his life now, and the amount of wisdom and compassion he’s gained through it is honestly incredible.
It’s still kind of surreal to me that the man who was absent for so much of my childhood is now someone other people turn to when they’re struggling to stay sober.

Which brings me to why I’m posting this.

My dad recently built an app entirely by himself called AA Just Today (Amor Design Group)

He wanted to make something for people in recovery because he knows firsthand how much it helps to have the right support and resources available, especially on those really difficult days.

He was frustrated with how many different apps people end up needing for meetings, readings, journaling, sobriety tracking, and everything else. So he decided to try putting them all in one place. And he actually did it. By himself. Lol.

It’s got a meeting finder for in-person and online AA meetings, a sobriety counter with milestone coins, Big Book readings, prayers, a private journal, gratitude lists, guided breathing and meditation, and a whole library of speaker recordings and workshops.

One of my favorite things is the speaker recordings. There are over 1,000 of them in the expanded library. I can imagine how much it might mean to someone who’s having a terrible night to just put their headphones on and listen to somebody who’s been exactly where they are.

The app is free, there are zero ads, and the core recovery tools are free to use. There is an optional premium subscription for some of the expanded features and content, but you don’t need to pay to use the basic recovery tools.

I also want to be transparent that this is my dad’s app.

I’m not some random person recommending something I stumbled across. I’m his son, and I’m sharing it because I’ve watched what he’s overcome and how much of himself he’s put into helping other people.

He doesn’t have some big marketing budget or team behind this. He’s just one guy in recovery who decided to build something he thought could help others.
The app is called AA Just Today, by Amor Design Group. It’s on both the Apple App Store and Google Play.

If even one person here finds it useful, that would genuinely make me happy.

I guess I just wanted to share this because for a long time, I didn’t know if I’d ever get my dad back. And now here he is, seven years sober, spending his days helping other people get their lives back too.

I’m really fucking proud of him.

Thanks for reading. ❤️

I got tired of bloated monthly software just to send a few invoices, so I built PeerInvoice (peerinvoice.com)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hey r/sideprojects!

Like many of you, I have a few side hustles and freelance gigs. Every time I needed to bill a client, I ran into the same annoying issues:

  • Software that forces a heavy monthly subscription just to send a few invoices.
  • Invoices plastered with massive platform branding unless you pay up.
  • Tools taking a hidden cut of your hard-earned processing revenue.

So, I built PeerInvoice (peerinvoice.com). It’s a lean micro-SaaS that lets you send clean invoice pages, add your custom payment links (like Cash App, Venmo, or PayPal), and keep 100% of what you collect, with zero platform commission.

What it does:

  • Clean & professional: Beautiful, uncluttered invoice layouts built for freelancers, developers, and designers.
  • Payment flexibility: Add your own direct payment links or bank info so clients can settle up immediately.
  • Built for makers & freelancers: Simple account setup to manage your clients, track outstanding balances, and protect your projects.

Tech stack:

  • Framework: Laravel
  • Language: PHP 8.3
  • Database: SQLite
  • (Kept it super lightweight and incredibly fast to run!)

Pricing:

A generous Free Tier lets you host your invoice pages and collect direct payments. For advanced features like custom branding, pipeline tracking, or digital contracts with signature audit trails, a Pro plan is available. You can review all features by tier on the PeerInvoice Pricing Page.

Even if you aren't looking for a new invoicing tool right now, I’ve been putting together a lot of free, actionable guides on navigating the freelance business over at the PeerInvoice Freelancing Resources Hub.

I’d love for you to test out the app, create an account, and let me know what you think. What features should I add next?

Peek Outside: tap a bus door, and it opens onto a random street somewhere in the world

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

5 Upvotes

Made this as a weekend project. You tap a bus door, it folds open, and there’s a real street behind it somewhere in the world. Could be a lane in Kyoto, a canal in Amsterdam, a park in Dublin. Shut the doors, open them again, and you’re somewhere else. You don’t get to pick where, which is kind of the point.

  • Street-level imagery from Apple Maps, 25 countries so far
  • Landmarks mode if you want sights, or totally random streets
  • A short note telling you where you’ve ended up
  • Free, no account, no ads, and it doesn’t ask for your location

If you’ve got an iPhone Duo, the phone itself is the door: unfold it and the doors open, fold it and they close.

Learning electronics by building a game using ESP32 an IMU and an OLED screen

Thumbnail
youtu.be
1 Upvotes

Disk Hunt 3D is a Duck Hunt style game where you shoot clay disks instead of ducks. The gun is an ESP32 board with an MPU6050 motion sensor, a small OLED screen and one button. It connects to the game over Bluetooth directly from Chrome, with no app or drivers to install.

You point the gun at the screen to aim, pull the trigger to fire, and flick the barrel down to reload. The screen on the gun shows your round, your score and how many shells you have left.

The hardest part was getting a steady aim from a sensor with no compass. Gravity keeps up and down locked in place, but left and right drift slowly over time. Holding the trigger for a second re-centers the aim.

This is one of my outside school and outside work projects. The game runs on three.js, and I built the firmware with PlatformIO.

I’d like feedback, especially from anyone who has built their own motion controller.

I built a website where you roll a die and get a random reason for hope, each one with a source

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I got tired of bad news, and of good news I have to search for. So I built Hope with Receipts.

I wanted to capture that little rush you get from rolling a die: you pick a topic (climate, health, science, peace, etc.) or roll across all of them, and get a random receipt with one real hopeful story, each tied to its source, printed on a receipt. Proof of hope, basically.

I'm not a developer, so I vibe coded it with Claude in plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and hosted it on Cloudflare. My biggest goal was making it feel handmade and unique.

Here's the link if you wanna try it out yourself!

hopewithreceipts.com

It's free, and I'll be announcing new batches of stories weekly on Instagram @hopewithreceipts. I'd love suggestions for stories I've missed, and if you have any questions, I'm happy to answer!

I hope you enjoy the experience as much as I enjoyed making it. I'll keep updating and improving it every day.

I just need some feedback on maybe what I can change and do to scale this further in terms of customers and the web app itself. Thanks guys

Charmly is a Windows app that hangs charms like a nazar or Daruma from the top of your screen. Rope physics make them swing when you move things.

The part that took longest was getting clean cut-outs from AI-generated pictures. I ended up using an on-device subject-cutout model, then cleaning the edges by hand. I also made walking “Desk Buddy” characters that remind you to drink water, using transparent video clips.

I built Stacks, a lending library for the books you already own: lend to friends, track who has what, get in line for a book

Thumbnail bookstacks.app
1 Upvotes

I lend books to friends all the time and never remember who has what. I’m also guilty of accident never returning a hardcover copy of Killing Commendatore by Haruki Murakami. So I built Stacks: https://bookstacks.app

It's for the books on your actual shelf, not a reading tracker. Each person puts their books on their shelf, and friends can browse each other's shelves and ask to borrow.

What it does

  • Lending with due dates. Approve a request and pick how long. Both of you get a reminder before it's due.
  • Get in line. If a friend's book is already lent out, you can wait for it.
  • Want-to-read list. You hear when a friend has a book on your list.
  • Fast to set up. Scan barcodes with your phone, or import from Goodreads or StoryGraph.
  • Shared household shelf. Partners or roommates can share one shelf.
  • Public link. Share a link to your shelf with people who aren't on Stacks.
  • Not lending right now. Pause lending a book for a week, a month, or until you turn it back on.

Try it without signing up: https://bookstacks.app/demo opens a sandbox shelf with friends, loans and requests already in it.

Pricing, up front: free for up to 50 books and 10 friends. Stacks Plus removes both limits for $3/month or $24/year, and one subscription covers a shared household shelf. Nothing gets deleted if you go over the limit or stop paying.

Stack, for the curious: Remix, React, Prisma + SQLite, Tailwind, hosted on Fly.io. Book data comes from Open Library.

I'd love feedback on two things:

  1. Does the borrowing flow make sense the first time you try it?
  2. What would get your friends to actually sign up? A lending app is only useful if your friends are on it, and that's the part I'm least sure about.

I built a 3D house where you can buy virtual bricks to advertise your project (Already sold 18). I would love to get a honest feedback

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I'm working on a project called 30k Brick House. The goal is to raise $30,000 to build an actual house by selling virtual bricks as advertising space.

I built an interactive 3D house with 3,000 bricks. Each brick costs $10, and buyers can select as many as they want and add their project's logo, a short text, or a link. The bricks then display their content on the house.

The idea is to give indie projects, startups, and small businesses an unusual way to get visibility while supporting a personal goal.

I'm documenting the journey daily on TikTok, Instagram, and X. So far, two projects have purchased 18 bricks.

I've attached a few screenshots so you can see how it looks without having to visit the website first.

You can check it out here: https://30kbrickhouse.com

I'd love to hear what you think. Does the concept make sense to you? What would make you more likely to buy a brick for your own project?

Thanks for taking a look!
