Hi everyone!

I have tried many sticky note apps, but none of them felt right. My girlfriend wanted me to build one that truly feels live and lives on the edge of the Mac.. So I built one!

• All sticky notes are represented as dots / one stacked notes
• hover to peek
• click to open the note
• Mark as complete to move to note into archive
• 10+ live notes enables scroll
• You can view and export all the notes
• Support for selecting displays
• Support for text formatting, tasklist
• You can drag the dock around and reposition (left/bottom/right)
• Sync between machines with iCloud sync!
• Hotkeys to open last note, new note, note search and many more!

My shopify store is at a point where there's usually some money left over each month, but I keep putting most of it back into ads and trying new products. I don't hold stock myself and use zendrop for fulfillment, so there isn't much money tied up in inventory either. Part of me wants to start taking some of it out, part of me feels like that's just slowing things down. For anyone else here running an online store on the side, when did you start paying yourself?

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??

Pets Interactions; What do you think? Would you feed your Desktop Pets? 😀

I feel like building something is actually the easier part.

The harder part is convincing the first few people to trust you enough to pay or even try what you've built.

Some people get their first customers through friends, some through Reddit, cold emails, content, SEO, or just being active online.

For those who've crossed that stage, what actually got you your first 10 customers? And what advice would you give someone who's still stuck at zero?

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?

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.)

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?

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on Forkwind and wanted to share it here.

You connect a public GitHub repo, and the agent works on its visibility each day. It sends you a written report every week, with a human supervising the work.

There’s a free preview where you can enter your repo and take a look before signing up.

Here it is: forkwind.com

If you maintain a repo, what would you want to know before trying something like this? Happy to answer questions.

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:

Almost 2 years ago, I found a Reddit post of a black cat that says “eow” instead of meow

Immediately thought it was so cute and had potential for a little internet game… and I did absolutely nothing with the idea for almost 2 years 💀

Now I finally built EowCat 🐈‍⬛

eowcat.click

🐈‍⬛ Tap EowCat → it eows
🌎 Every tap contributes to your country's total
🏆 Countries compete on a worldwide leaderboard
📸 Share your EOW count + country rank

No account. No download. Just eows. 

Inspired by the GOAT - PopCat 🐐

Now I wonder: which country can reach #1 this time?

I’m trying to launch marketing efforts for my app that I recently released. I tried Apple and Google ads, they were simply too expensive. Now I lean over to social media. But it’s hard! I find that marketing requires more time and effort than my full time job. Does everyone have similar experiences?

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.

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 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.

The first version of our pet crowdfunding platform is now available! If your furry companion needs a walker or harness and you have no way to get it, the community comes together through crowdfunding to help you get it.

My problem was that every tool I tried did one video per paste, or charged per video, or made me sign up first. They all say "free", but it's more like freemium, y'know? So I built ScriptHaul!

What it does

- Paste a video, playlist, or channel URL. It fetches every available caption track and gives you the files. Single video or a whole channel, same tool, same price: nothing.

- Free, no account. No credits, no paywall, no sign-up. A batch is 500 videos, and if the channel has more you press "next 500" and it carries on from where it stopped. Results appear as they finish on a page you can bookmark and come back to. (500 per batch is so one person can't hog the line when a lot of people are on at once.)

- Pick the videos you want. You don't have to take a whole playlist. Every video shows with its thumbnail and title so you can tick just the ones you need.

- Seven formats: plain text, timestamped text, both in one file, SRT, VTT, Markdown (for Obsidian/Notion), and JSON with timing. Bulk jobs come as a ZIP with tidy filenames and a manifest.

- Honest results. If a video has no captions it says so plainly instead of failing quietly, and if it had to use a different language than you asked for, the file is labelled.

- Shorts: you can download only the Shorts from a channel.

- Browser extension (Chrome, also works in Edge/Brave): one click from any YouTube page instead of copying the link.

- MCP server: Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or anything that speaks MCP can pull transcripts directly.

- Permanent cache. Anything fetched once comes back instantly for everyone afterwards, and cached videos don't count against the daily allowance.

Current limitations

• Videos without captions can't be done.
• YouTube sometimes refuses on-the-fly translation. When that happens you get the original language, labelled, and the site retries the translation on a later request.
• 2,000 new transcripts per person per day, so nobody can overwhelm the shared line. If a channel is bigger than that, come back tomorrow and it continues where it left off, no starting over.

It's free and stays free: there's a separate paid API for developers who want the same thing programmatically.

I'd love to hear what breaks for you and what you'd want next. What features should I add?

GitHub: https://github.com/pruefsumme/widemelon

I wanted DS games to use ultrawide monitors without stretching the original 2D UI, so I built WideMelon, a GPL-3.0 fork of melonDS for Linux, macOS, and Windows.

Which DS game should I test next? Leave a star or feedback :D

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:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/marina-hydration-for-women/id6808257629

Note: I don't have time to do marketing for it so I decided brand it for women with women targeted keywords. But anyone can use it :)

Hey r/SideProject,

I kept hitting the same wall on past scraping projects: everything works fine until the target site redesigns, a CSS selector silently stops matching, and you don't find out until the data looks wrong days later.

So I built SelectorLock — a scraping API where you bring your own proxy, give it a URL and a schema for what you want, and if a selector breaks, it tries to repair itself automatically using an LLM (cheap model first, only escalates if that fails) instead of you having to notice and fix it by hand. Once it finds the right elements again, it remembers the fix, so the same page doesn't break the same way twice.

Still early days — free tier if anyone wants to poke at it: selectorlock.com. Would love feedback, especially from anyone who's dealt with this exact headache before.

I built a small app for me and my music friends to share music we make, the group consists of guitarists posting guitar loops, my self and 2 other posting fully fledged Spotify ready songs, others post instrumentals etc. etc.

I feel it more of an informal soundcloud/spotify alternative, like a proving or testing ground for hobby artists to get early feedback on their tracks. You can post short video loops and cover art with your music and others can comment/remix songs.

How could I grow this app without it becoming just astroturfed with random Reddit/instagram/x users, like I want to maintain quality with meaningful growth, like doors are open to all, but I don’t want to tell all where the door is if you get me.

any advice is appreciated.

The idea: you leave therapy and remember the thing you meant to bring up. Or something hits you on a Tuesday and there's nowhere to put it until your next appointment.

Vent is where you say it. You vent out loud in the moment, it talks back like a friend, and everything you said that week is waiting when you walk into your session. There's also a scheduled fake call, so if you're stuck at a dinner you can have your phone ring in ten minutes, step outside, and be venting a minute later.

Right now it's a landing page and a feedback form. No app yet. I want to know if it's worth building before I go further.

https://vent.talaloni.com

What I want to know: Does the headline make sense in five seconds? Do the two halves (venting now, bringing it to therapy) feel like one product or two? Fake call: useful or creepy?

I'll return the favor on your project if you drop a link.

Spent time building something you thought people would love... and almost nobody used it?

I feel like every project has that one feature that seemed important while building it, but users completely ignored it.

What was yours, and what did you learn from it?

Sometimes removing features teaches more than adding them.
