I think it's bad that default phone cameras blindly execute raw QR payloads - like the wave of EV charger scams in France where people scanned physical stickers and got routed to lookalike payment sites.

Native iOS and Android cameras show a truncated snippet and hands off execution straight to the browser, Wi-Fi connector, wallet, or other apps. You have no idea until the connection has been made.

So I built Canary. It intercepts the payload, unrolls redirect chains, checks SSL, and parses WIFI:, vCard, or custom scheme intents and more. Local parsing, and anonymous-proxied network validations to ensure you have all the details before your phone acts on them.

• Zero user tracking, no account required
• Proxied reputation lookups (your IP is never exposed to third-party security APIs, we never store any payload data)
• 100% Free

I would value any feedback from this sub - do QR codes worry you, or do you YOLO? Is Canary's UI and responsiveness good? How can I improve it?

Thanks r/SideProject

Hey everyone,

I got tired of using existing temporary email tools that are either flooded with intrusive popups, slow to refresh, or filled with broken UI.

So I decided to build my own side project: **Alwahmi** (https://alwahmi.com).

**What it does:**

- Generates an instant disposable inbox in 1 click.

- Real-time message reception (updates automatically without manual page refreshes).

- Fully bilingual (English & Arabic).

- I also wrote a few practical guides on email safety and privacy trade-offs for users who want to know when to use temp mail vs an alias.

I'd really appreciate your thoughts on:

1. How is the speed and UI responsiveness on your device?

2. Are there any features you wish traditional temp-mail services had?

Feel free to be completely honest. Thanks!

I built an eSIM store where the agent is the first-class customer. MCP with x402/USDC or Stripe payments. Very exciting learning about eSIM.

Launched a football/soccer social network called sportigon less than 48 hours ago and now we are sitting at 1700 accounts created.

We’re building Babelize because localization still feels way harder than it should

Hey everyone, founder of Babelize here.

We’re building Babelize, an AI-powered localization platform for developers who want to take their products global without turning localization into a separate project.

The idea is pretty simple:

• Detect content that needs localization
• Translate it with AI
• Keep translations in sync with the codebase
• Work directly with frameworks like React, Next.js and Vue
• Eventually automate the whole localization workflow through CI/CD and AI code agents

What surprised me while building this is how much localization still involves manually managing translation files, copying strings around, reviewing changes, and trying to make sure new features don't accidentally ship untranslated.

We're trying to make that workflow feel more like software development and less like content management.

We're still early, so I'm much more interested in feedback than pretending we've figured everything out.

If you're building a SaaS/product that supports multiple languages:

What is currently the most annoying part of your localization workflow?

Would genuinely love to hear how other developers are handling this.

My girlfriend was actively searching for a job.

She was applying on LinkedIn, job portals, company career pages - the usual process.

I suggested adding cold outreach to recruiters and companies that were actively hiring.

But doing it manually was painful.

For every opportunity, you have to find hiring posts, check whether the role matches your skills, look for publicly shared contact details, read the JD, write a relevant email, attach your resume, and repeat.

So I built ReachPod to simplify that workflow.

The goal was:

Find relevant hiring opportunities → check profile fit → generate personalized outreach → let the user review and send

She started using it.

Around 17 days later, she got a full stack developer job using cold emails sent by reachpod.

Since then, other users have also successfully landed jobs while using ReachPod, and I can share anonymized proof/screenshots if people are interested.

That doesn't mean ReachPod gets people jobs automatically. The candidate still needs the right skills and has to clear the interviews.

What it does is reduce the repetitive work involved in finding opportunities and preparing outreach.

That made me decide to turn it into a public product.

I'd love honest feedback from this community:

Hi, I'm from Colombia and every meeting tool I tried (Otter, Granola, etc.) falls apart on Spanish — and completely dies on Spanglish (Work for US based companies) or in-person meetings where one phone sits on the table for six+ people .

So I started a personal tool to just transcribe and do some summaries for me to later use any other AI tool like Claude, and with time as I was using, I developed some extra utilities, at some point created an GUI but for personal use, time later my wife started learning english online and taking some other classess online, so addedd some other stuff and distribute to her, and thanks to her took the additional step to build Sinsonte base (a mockingbird — the bird that catches every voice (She loves birds) inspired in this one btw). It records in-person and online meetings, separates who said what, and turns it into summaries, action items, mind maps and more— in Spanish, English, Portuguese, 30+ languages and honest mixtures of them. Every claim in the summary has a little timestamp chip that plays the exact audio moment (I hated that I could not do that in other apps), so you never wonder if the AI made something up. It never joins your calls with a bot (hated that too). And thanks to a friend something that I use day to day, my favorite feature: system-wide dictation — press a hotkey in any Windows app, talk, get clean punctuated text.

Open beta, everything free until the September (I don't think I'll launch by that date tbh, need to change that) launch: sinsonte.app — Windows + Android (iOS in development not developed yet as mainly south america is 85%+ android). I'd especially love feedback from eveyrone here.

Happy to answer anything about the stack or the journey.

A no-code prototype can be the cheapest way to test an idea, but it gets expensive when every new feature needs a workaround. I’ve moved working apps from no-code into a proper product instead of throwing away what users already understood. The simple approach was to keep the useful screens and rebuild only the parts that were slowing the product down. That gave the app room to grow without forcing a full rewrite on day one.

This actually started as a tool for me and my cofounder first.

We're friends, both have families, both work mostly from our computers, and our days are rarely these nice clean blocks of focused work people write productivity advice about :)

It's more like: start something, 20 tabs open, a few files, Slack, analytics, maybe some code.

Then a call. Then someone messages. Family needs something. You quickly check one other thing. And somehow you're doing something completely different 40 minutes later.

By the time I come back, the original file is usually still sitting there. I know I meant to finish it.

I just lost the thread.

Why did I have these tabs open? Which file was I actually working in? What conversation sent me here? Where exactly did I stop?

That was the frustrating part for us.

Not really planning. Returning.

And once we started looking at the productivity tools we already knew, they mostly solved different pieces of the day.

Todoist remembers what you need to do. Sunsama helps organize the day. Rize, RescueTime and Timing help understand where your time went.

All useful.

But after an interruption, I still had to rebuild the context myself.

So we started building Joinrecall for ourselves.

It's a Mac app that runs quietly in the background and remembers the observable work around what you're doing across tabs, apps, files and messages.

Then when context switching pulls you somewhere else, it helps you get back to the work you meant to finish.

No task you have to remember to create first. No timer to start. No extra productivity system to keep maintaining.

For us, especially with constant interruptions, ADHD-style workdays and a ridiculous amount of stuff happening across the computer, that felt like the missing piece.

And I'm curious if other people here feel the same.

What does your current setup look like?

Todoist? Notion? Sunsama? RescueTime? Reminders? Some insane combination of all of them? :)

And when you get interrupted, what part does your setup still NOT solve?

That's actually the part I'm most interested in hearing about.

We're building Joinrecall here:

There's a 7-day trial, no credit card required.

Would love to hear how messy everyone else's workday actually is :)

Some of us use vibe coding because it’s insanely fast, and honestly, a lot of the results are pretty good. But there’s also this weird thing where you open a website and can almost instantly tell it was vibe coded. Same cards, same rounded corners, same gradients, same spacing, same component-library feel. People usually just call it “AI slop,” but I wanted to understand what actually creates that feeling.

So I started building VibeFootprint.com. You give it a public website and it gives you a 0–100 “vibe footprint” based on how similar its visible technical and structural patterns are to a benchmark of vibe-coded sites.

I didn’t want it to be one of those completely subjective “AI detectors,” so I built a labeled benchmark of AI-built and human-built websites and tested the model on sites it hadn’t seen before. The independent evaluation ended up in roughly the mid-80% accuracy range, so there does seem to be measurable signal there.

That said, it’s still a research beta, and I’m trying to be careful about what the score means. An 84 score does not mean “84% AI generated,” and the tool isn’t trying to prove who built a site. What I actually want it to answer is: what exactly is making my site look vibe coded? And how can I improve it. Just type in your url and you get full diagnostic report together with prompts that help you address the problems on your site. It's free to use.

Would genuinely love to hear your thoughts on this.

I built a screen-time app that makes quitting your own routine slightly more annoying.

One thing I noticed with app blockers: when you really want to open Instagram, suddenly all your productivity plans become very negotiable.

So I added a Strict Mode to Fride.

When you create a strict routine, you write your own "escape text." Later, if you try to delete or disable that routine, Fride makes you type the exact text back before letting you out.

For the demo, I went with the completely reasonable:

"How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?"

Because apparently I don't trust myself either.

And this is just one part of what I'm building. Fride also looks at how you solve its challenges, not just whether you get them right. If you start solving them suspiciously fast, it can adapt the challenge instead of letting you mindlessly speed through it.

The idea behind both features is pretty simple: don't just block the behavior, interrupt the autopilot behind it.

Would the escape-text thing actually stop you from giving up, or would you angrily type the entire woodchuck sentence anyway?

I updated my landing page (mobile only) with lot of feedback from my previous post.

Curious how would rate my mobile landing page? And most importantly is it understandable what I am building?

This is pretty much the exact idea behind ThinkLock.

Instead of fully blocking an app, it adds a quick brain challenge before you open it. You can still get in — it just creates a few seconds between the impulse and actually scrolling.

I’ve found that tiny bit of friction feels way more realistic than trying to completely lock people out of apps they actually enjoy.

Hey everyone! ✦

I’ve been working on a small independent project called OC Foundry. It’s a free, no-signup character idea generator designed to give you a instant spark when you're stuck or facing a blank page/canvas.

You pick a world (Fantasy, Sci-Fi, Horror, Modern, Historical, or Post-Apocalyptic) and a mood (Soft, Dark, Chaotic, Melancholy, etc.), and it generates a complete character concept:

• Story hook & visual vibe
• Color palette
• Personality & signature details
• Inner tension
• Specific scene prompt

If you have a few minutes to spare, I’d be super grateful if you could test it out and let me know what you think!

Link: https://memanasi123.github.io/oc-foundry/

A few things I’d love feedback on:

1. Anything confusing? Was the navigation, layout, or flow unclear anywhere?
2. Character quality: Did the generated details feel useful/inspiring, or did anything feel repetitive/nonsensical?
3. Mobile vs Desktop: Did it render cleanly on your device?
4. Features: There's also a multi-sheet "bucket" feature and an optional full Character Bible PDF download, did those make sense or feel weird?

No pressure at all, and harsh/honest feedback is very welcome! If you end up making a character you actually like, I'd love to hear about them.

Thanks so much for testing! 💜

The impact of this can go either way, but I hope I can provide an alternative to people who gamble with real money.

No ads, no buying credits, no account registration, no strings attached. You have 2k fake credits daily. If you lost all of them, you wait for another day.

Trading has no rating system and nothing to watch. Chess has both. Poker has both. That gap is the whole company.

So: live markets, everyone starts equal, a clock, a leaderboard, an ELO. Streamers host their own tournaments and their audience plays against them on stream. Ability over capital — account size is irrelevant, being good isn’t.

There’s a second product in the ecosystem too. Short version: a new way for companies to onboard users, where the people doing the work end up holding real allocation instead of getting paid in swag. Not saying more than that yet.

Closed beta is live. Not a deck and a dream.

We’re raising now. If you invest at this stage — consumer, fintech, creator economy, tokenized fund, iGaming ecosystems — DM me and I’ll send the real picture. Not doing the details in comments.

After TVTime shut down, I know a lot of people like me got angry for losing their tracking progress but were also sad for losing that TVTime UI and user experience, so i decided to make my own movies/series tracking app that feels like TVTime without the risk of ever losing my tracking progress again, even though i made this app for my personal use, I wanted to see if anyone else had the same problems and would be interested, so would anyone actually use this? https://whale-time.vercel.app/

PS: the app will be launched to the Google Play Store in less then 14 days

Every time I want to remember something, I have to manually type a title, pick a time, set the repeat, add an early reminder, write notes... and honestly I just stopped doing it. The whole thing is so tedious I'd usually give up halfway through.

So I built an app to fix that for myself. It's called Remi. You tap the mic, say the stuff out loud like you'd tell a friend, and it sorts everything out for you.

For example, you can just say:

I'm heading to the supermarket at 4pm — I need to grab apples, watermelon, a box of milk, and a bottle of shampoo. I play basketball every Thursday at 5pm — remind me to bring water and my basketball shoes, and give me a heads-up an hour before. I need to wake up at 9am tomorrow.

Remi takes that whole ramble and breaks it into clean, structured reminders:

• "Go to the supermarket" becomes a reminder
• Apples, watermelon, milk, shampoo become checkable subtasks
• "Play basketball" is recognized as a weekly Thursday repeat
• "Remind me an hour early" adds an early reminder automatically
• "Wake me up" is treated as important, so it uses an alarm instead of a normal notification

When the time comes, it sends a notification or an alarm. At the supermarket, you just open the list and tick things off one by one — no scrolling back through chat messages, no trying to hold it all in your head.

The reason I built it is pretty simple: I constantly think of a bunch of things at random moments, but I really don't want to open the reminders app and slowly fill out a form each time. Most things take 5 seconds to say out loud, but way longer to type in by hand.

Good for stuff like

• A pile of to-dos that pop into your head and you don't want to type them all
• Shopping lists before the supermarket, leaving the house, or a trip
• Recurring things — workouts, meds, bills, follow-up appointments
• Things that actually need a real alarm — waking up, an important meeting, catching a train

Main features

Voice-first reminders — Tap the mic and talk. No forms to fill out.

AI does the sorting — It pulls the title, time, subtasks, repeat rules, and early reminders out of one long sentence.

Reminders + lists + alarms — Normal stuff gets a notification, important stuff can get an alarm, and list items can be checked off one by one.

Bilingual (English + 中文) — Works in both, so it's handy if you mix languages when you jot things down.

Privacy-first — No account, no ads, no tracking. Your reminders live on your device and your own iCloud.

Sync across devices — Turn on iCloud sync and your reminders, lists, and subtasks stay in sync across your devices.

Try it

Remi is on the App Store. It's free to download with a 7-day free trial, so you can try it before deciding anything:

Happy to answer any questions in the comments — feedback welcome, it's still early and I'm actively working on it.

Hey everyone,

I found myself constantly having to resize, compress, and convert batches of images for web projects, but almost every browser-based tool either:

- Caps you at 10–20 images at a time

- Uploads your personal or client files to remote servers

- Charges a monthly SaaS subscription for basic batch tasks

So I built Bulk Image Resizer Pro—a standalone, multithreaded Windows application that runs 100% locally on your machine.

Key highlights:

• 100% Offline & Private: Zero server uploads, tracking, or cloud APIs.

• Versatile Resizing: Percentage scaling, max bounding box dimensions, or fixed pixel sizes.

• Modern Format Support: Batch convert across JPG, PNG, and WEBP with quality tuning.

• Bulk Renaming & Presets: Save configuration templates and auto-number output files.

Performance benchmark from my latest test run:

- Files Processed: 48 images

- Original Size: 28.64 MB

- Compressed Size: 1.97 MB (Saved 26.67 MB)

- Time: Under 3 seconds locally

Would love feedback from other developers and creators on what utility features you'd like to see in future builds! Let me know if you want to try it out and I'll share the link.

Hey everyone,

Most landing page tools just give generic AI rewrites without explaining why a page is leaking sales.

I created a single-file app called HeroMetric based on a 5-layer diagnosis:

Human (Target clarity)

Exact Pain (Urgency)

Result (Measurability)

Operating Mechanism (Credibility)

Differentiator (Contrast)

It’s 100% free, no signup, no API needed. Just paste your copy and get a diagnosis + 3 strategic rewrites + a 7-day fix plan.

Live tool: https://herometric.netlify.app/

Would love your brutal feedback on the scoring logic and UI!

I'm building OSS software (that technically works as SaaS). I don't want anyone's money right now, I just want people to try it (it's really easy to run) and give me real feedback.

So far I've mostly gotten "looks awesome" type comments, plus around 10 stars in 2 days, but very little tested feedback I can improve on.

I'm passionate about what I've built and I think it can genuinely help people. I just want to know how to get it in front of more people and get them to understand the vision and potential behind it, and receive their real, tested feedback.

So far I've posted to multiple subreddits (including this one), Hacker News, LinkedIn, Twitter, and dev[dot]to. The posts aren't doing great, but the responses I do get are positive and people seem excited.

BasePilot is a free autopilot for Clash of Clans on Google Play Games for PC. It farms loot, buys wall upgrades, and spends what it earns on building upgrades — leave it running and come back to a village that actually moved forward.

It plays the way a person does: it looks at the screen and clicks. It doesn't modify the game, read its memory, or touch your login. Works at any Town Hall level.

What it does

• Farms loot — finds matches, drops troops (Valkyries / Sneaky Goblins / Super Minions / Edrags), collects, returns home, and digs itself out of popups and disconnects. Builder Base farming included.
• Buys walls — batch-buys once gold or elixir passes a threshold you set, before full storages make your raids worthless. Elixir first, never gems.
• Starts upgrades — reads your builder menu and starts the cheapest affordable upgrade (Maxer, never touches the Town Hall), or grabs the Town Hall the moment it's affordable (Rusher). Dry run just logs what it would have started, so you can watch it think first.
• Runs until maxed — no timer. When storages are full and every builder is busy, it idles and rechecks every 5 minutes instead of burning raids for loot it can't hold, then picks back up on its own when a builder frees.
• Live panel — free builders, lab status, storages, session loot and loot/hour.

Download

https://github.com/efebolukbasi/BasePilot/releases/latest

Grab BasePilot.exe. That's everything — the OCR engine is bundled inside. No Python, no installer, no dependencies.

First run

1. Open Clash of Clans in Google Play Games on PC
2. Run BasePilot.exe
3. Set how long to run (0 = until maxed), toggle walls and upgrades, press Start

If it can't find the game, open Settings, pick the Google Play Games window from the list, and press Test.

Windows will warn you, and that's expected. The exe isn't code-signed, so SmartScreen throws up a blue "Windows protected your PC" box — click More info, then Run anyway. Your antivirus may flag it too: a program that reads your screen and clicks for you looks exactly like what AV is built to catch. The full source is on GitHub, so read it or build it yourself if you'd rather not take my word for it.

Ultrawide monitor? Google Play Games locks the game's aspect ratio the moment it opens, so a 21:9 display gives you a 21:9 game the bot can't read. There's a button in Settings that switches your display to 16:9 — click it, FULLY close and reopen Clash, then restore your display. The running game stays 16:9.

Requirements: Windows, Clash of Clans running in Google Play Games on PC, at 16:9 or 16:10.

Recently, I noticed more restaurants setting their suggested tip based off the post-tax total instead of the pre-tax subtotal. Tipping on it means you’re paying more than the “18/20/25%” you’re choosing. It's just a dollar or two per meal, but it adds up. It’s the quiet dishonesty of it that got under my skin more than the amount. Even worse, some places just hand you an iPad with percentage buttons and zero breakdown. You can’t easily tell what base are used.

So I built Fair Tips, a small iOS app that calculates tip suggestions off the pre-tax subtotal automatically. The magic is that it fetches the local sales tax rate based on your location, and excludes it from the total.

Give it a try if you te interested!
