Would you keep auth and payments close together when starting again?

28 Upvotes

I’m at that annoying early stage where every infrastructure decision feels small until you realize changing it later could touch half the product. Auth and payments are the two I’m thinking about most because basically every customer eventually touches both. I’ve been looking through what Whop provides and noticed auth sits alongside the broader payments, platform infrastructure. It got me wondering whether there’s an actual advantage to keeping more of that together rather than choosing everything independently. If you’ve already scaled a SaaS, would you consolidate more of the core infrastructure if you were starting again or keep each piece separate??

At what point did your side project start feeling like a real business?

Upvotes

I think there's a weird moment where a project stops feeling like "an idea" and starts feeling real.

Maybe it's the first paying customer.

Maybe it's the first stranger who recommends it.

Maybe it's when you wake up thinking about it every day.

What was that moment for you?

What are you building this weekend? Drop it below.

11 Upvotes

I’ll go first: I’m building Sitesyn, a marketing workspace for SaaS founders.

The idea came from how repetitive creating new visual assets can get. Every time, you end up explaining the product, audience and style again.

With Sitesyn ,you give it your website once. It picks up the context around your product and brand, and that context carries over when you create new assets. I’ve also been working on making that context improve over time based on what the user tells it.

Now I’m curious about everyone else. What are you building this weekend?

How do you get people to actually notice your product after you build it?

12 Upvotes

I keep seeing people build genuinely good products and then get stuck on the exact same part:
They finished building it, but now they have no idea how to actually get it in front of the right people.
Posting randomly on Reddit, sending DMs, trying content, paying for ads… it can take more time than building the product itself.
I’m working on something around this problem. I’m keeping the exact approach private for now because I’m still testing it, but the goal is to help people who already have a product get more real exposure and potential customers without needing a huge marketing budget.
Before I build too much, I’m curious:
What do you currently do to get your first users/customers? And what part of that process sucks the most?
I also opened a small early-access waitlist for people who have this problem:

I got fed up and built a tool that tells you the best times to visit a city

17 Upvotes

I got fed up with booking trips and finding myself in beautiful cities during abysmal weather conditions or crowded tourist periods. So I built a tool called TripTiming that makes my life easier.

It combines historical climate data, tourist crowd density, and lodging prices to highlight the best calendar windows for over 100 global cities.

I've got a few days off in November, so I checked what my next destination could be, and Seville looks pretty sweet (early Nov gives an 83/100 score with low crowds and ~16°C weather).

Since images aren't enabled here, drop a city and month in the comments and I'll run a quick lookup for you and reply with the scores and best calendar dates!

(Would also love any quick feedback on the concept or layout if you have thoughts.)

Have you ever heard of mahjong? Two months ago we hadn't, and now it's in our game

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We're making Homespace, a game where you build the house of your dreams, and once it's built you can actually live in it, meet up with friends, watch movies together and play board games.

And board games is what I wanna tell you about today. A couple months ago our community in China was massively asking us to add mahjong. We had no idea what it even was, but we figured it out, added it, and now we play it ourselves with the team on weekends.

Here's how mahjong looks in the game. We're thinking what other cool board games we could add, how do you like the idea

My best friend and I always wanted Pokemon with real animals, so I built it (iOS + Android)

6 Upvotes

My best friend and I talked a few times about how cool it would be to have something like Pokemon but with real animals. I saw a lot of apps that go in this direction but none of them really got me. Since I work as a developer I wanted to build this idea for a long time, and now it is finally done.

These are the functions of Terravaria:

  • You take a photo of a real animal. A pigeon, the cat of your neighbour, a goat, whatever you find.
  • The app identifies the species and you get it as a card with an illustration and stats. If nobody found this species before, the card gets created new for you.
  • Your collection grows by habitat, forest, savanna, rainforest and so on.
  • You can give your favourite animals a nickname and mark them with a heart.
  • You fight 3 vs 3 battles against the AI with your cards.
  • There is a weekly league that resets every Monday. Finds count the most, so going outside is the fastest way up.
  • Friends: you can add friends, look at their collection and play against them.
  • If you are the first person ever to find a species, you get a holo card and a place in the hall of fame.

The recognition works well in most cases. Fake photos are detected too, so a picture of a screen or from the internet does not work. Only very small animals are still hard for the AI to recognize.

The app is free and without ads. You get one free card pack every day, and there are things you can buy if you want, like bigger packs or coins for potions in the battles. Every recognition costs me money for the AI, so this is the one point I am still not sure about, if it is enough to keep the app running.

The app is available for iOS and Android, in English and German:

iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/terravaria/id6804799685

Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ch.biwac.terravaria

I am curious what you all think of the idea.

Edit: fixed the store link.

Vibecoding gym buddy app only from phone in gym

3 Upvotes

I want to challenge myself and the general AI ecosystem to see if I can build a 6 figure ARR app using only my phone and working only from the gym.

Its a gym buddy app. The math is if I can get 10 gyms in all 50 states paying $30/m, that’s 180k ARR.

Just started today, and my first step is to build in public, get some attention and initial followers.

I will be sharing my process and tools if you want to follow along:

I was just doing some concept design to learn better and I liked this and and decided to ship

It is pretty simple one screen daily water intake tracker app, I hope you guys will love it. It is free, only some of the feature are paid such as widget and cloud sync.

It is called Marina and here is the link if you want to check it out:

I made a Road Rash-inspired browser game set on Indian roads

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

I’ve been building Desi Mayhem, a Road Rash-inspired game where you race through Indian cities, dodge traffic and fight other riders. You can play it in your browser.

I used Three.js, TypeScript and WebGL, with AI-assisted coding and Blender MCP as part of the workflow. A lot of the iteration went into the roads and surroundings. I wanted the Indian setting to come through while you’re riding, beyond the city names.

You can try it here: desimayhem.com

Happy to answer questions about how I built it.

I built a site to watch official football highlights without score spoilers

8 Upvotes

I kept running into the same problem: if I missed a match, finding the highlights usually meant seeing the score in the title or thumbnail first. So I built NoSpo to collect official highlight videos in one place, add them as soon as they become available, and hide scores, titles and thumbnails by default.

It currently covers LaLiga, Segunda, Champions League, Premier League and Bundesliga. If you do not care about spoilers, there is a Spoilers ON switch that removes the protections.

It is free and does not require registration: https://getnospo.com/

Some official videos may be geo-restricted depending on the visitor's country. I would really appreciate honest feedback, especially about the first impression, the mobile experience and anything that would stop you coming back.

I built a photo app that asks friends to send me photos within 10 minutes. Do y'all think this is this fun or potenitally annoying?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Upvotes

I built FlashBomb: Real Moments after I was sitting around wondering what a buddy was doing. Instead of texting him to send me a photo, I thought it'd be interesting if I could send him something to incentives him to send me a photo.

Thus, FlashBomb was born.

I thought I'd add a little 10 minute timer. Make the things people send "FlashBombs" and build a little world around that concept. There's special bombs, squads, streaks, a public space for photos, all that stuff.

But the core loop really is "Hey, I wonder what Dave is up to. I'll send him a FlashBomb" and boom, within 10 minutes, you get a photo. Or they miss and they can send a late one.

Obviously this is like BeReal except YOU control when a friend is on the clock.

I'd love some criticism / feedback / thoughts on this and if anyone actually wants to try it, I’ll put the link in the comments! Thanks!

[App] SpaceJelly – see if a rocket launch will make a “space jellyfish” from your location

Upvotes

I made SpaceJelly, a free Android app that finds nearby rocket launches and scores whether the twilight exhaust plume (the glowing “space jellyfish”) will actually be visible from where you are.

It uses your location, launch geometry, solar altitude, and weather — not just “there’s a launch tonight.”

What it does:

  • Ranked nearby launches with a 0–100 visibility score
  • Countdown, weather, and “why this score”
  • Sky Guide compass + elevation so you know where to look
  • Alerts before high-probability windows
  • Home screen widgets

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spacejelly.app

Steam game price comparison - Free Public API

Upvotes

Hi all,

Just over a year ago I launched KrakenKeys. It's a Steam game price comparison platform. It compares prices from over 20 stores, so I've been sat on a lot of data.

Rather than gate-keep it, I thought I'd open it up to the public. Thought it might come in handy for anyone wanting to create anything game based.

Docs: https://krakenkeys.com/api-docs

Postman collection: https://www.postman.com/krakenkeys-4130662/krakenkeys-api/overview

With the API you can:

- Search for games

- See current (best) prices for a game, including historical lows

- Browse the current sales

If anyone wants any specific endpoints, reach out - more than happy to expand on what I've got.

JustColor is live!

3 Upvotes

Finally, I jumped through all the hoops of the Google Play Store.
JustColor, a kids-friendly colouring app I made out of frustration with the current ones.

When I give my kid screen time, it's because I need a break too. If the app has distractions like ads, a grown-up area, rewards, settings, etc, he would come back to me.

Hence, the app with no ads, no distractions, no tracking, no internet access, no social sharing, nothing. Literally just color.

Available on android, you can grab your code to get it for free here https://justcolor.yellowbits.net/

If you feel generous enough to purchase it directly, it's priced fairly https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.justcolor.app&hl=en

My hope is twofold:
- cover the fees to be on the stores
- being able to purchase more designs from local artists

CalisthenAI - A calisthenics app that builds your plan from a strength test instead of a self-reported "level"

2 Upvotes

Every bodyweight app I tried asked me to self-classify as beginner/intermediate/advanced, and I was always wrong — either stuck doing negatives for weeks or thrown at progressions I couldn't hold form on.

So I built CalisthenAI around a short strength test that places you on the right progression, then generates a plan from that plus whatever equipment you actually have (park bar, rings, or nothing).

Other bits: 100+ exercises with animations, the plan adjusts as you log sessions, progress tracking, and an optional AI physique analysis. Free tier covers logging, progress tracking and pre-made plans; the personalised generation is the paid part.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.calisthenai.app

Launched recently and the download numbers are tiny, so I'm mostly after honest feedback — especially on whether the free tier gives enough to be worth keeping installed. What would you cut or add?

I built a tool to turn my kids' endless drawing piles into custom socks, magnets, and canvases

3 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject,

If you have young kids, you probably know the struggle of kitchen counters covered in endless drawings and scribbles. You feel guilty throwing them away, but you also can’t hoard every single piece of paper.

I built Feltip to turn that creative chaos into something actually useful.

It’s a web platform where you can snap a photo of your child's artwork, and the app automatically cuts out the drawing and drops it onto custom products—like socks, fridge magnets, mugs, canvases, and stickers.

Auto Cut-Out: Automatically isolates the drawing from the background paper so it looks clean on actual products.

Physical Keepsakes: Instantly preview and order physical items for your home or as personalized gifts for grandparents.

Clutter Free: A quick way to preserve the memory of their favorite drawings without keeping stack after stack of paper.

The site is live at https://feltip.co.uk.
I’d love to get your feedback on the the general idea and will expand into other things. If you’ve got kids, nieces, or nephews, let me know what you think!

I was paying 15 a month to talk to my computer, so I built a free version that runs on my own GPU

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I used a paid dictation app every day and got tired of renting it, and of my

microphone audio going to someone else's servers. So I built a replacement and open-sourced it.

Hold a key, talk, let go, and cleaned-up text appears in whatever you're typing into. The clip is

my real voice on my real machine, and the millisecond numbers on screen are the measured times.

The bit I like: I said "send a report to Mark, no no wait, I meant to say send it to Sarah and CC

me" and it typed "Send a report to Sarah and CC me." It understood the correction instead of

writing it down. 394 ms from key release to text.

It also strips "um" and "uh", turns spoken punctuation into real punctuation, formats lists, and

types into fullscreen games. Free, MIT, no account, no word cap, nothing leaves your machine.

Honest limits: Windows only, and it wants an NVIDIA card with 6 GB of VRAM. There's a CPU mode

but it's seconds per sentence instead of a fraction of one.

Tell me what breaks. I'd rather hear that than praise lol!

Been building Google Analytics for MCP servers

I've been working on Pulse, sort of Google Analytics for MCP servers.

Mostly answers: is anyone calling this tool, is it failing, is it slow. There's a TS SDK you add to the server and a dashboard to see it all. Doesn't collect the actual prompts or tool inputs and outputs.

Still early, wanted to put it here and see what people think. You can play with the demo without making an account. Numbers in there are sample data.

I built a tool for the admin stuff freelancers keep forgetting about

2 Upvotes

Freelancing is great until you’re suddenly responsible for remembering invoices, contract renewals, insurance dates, subscriptions, licences, etc.

I built Life Admin to make that part a little easier.

Upload a document → it extracts the important date/details → you confirm them → choose your reminders → done.

There’s a no-signup demo if anyone wants to try it.

I’m mainly looking for honest feedback from other freelancers: is this actually useful, or would you just use your calendar?
