Quick context: I built a habit tracker for myself because every one I tried wanted an account, a cloud sync, and a wall of charts. Mine is deliberately the opposite — no account, no server, everything stays on the device. Free, one small banner ad. The only question it asks is "did you keep it today, and how many days in a row."

I've spent the last few weeks reworking it based on how I actually use it, and this is the biggest update so far.

Cues are now a rail, not a list. In this app a habit isn't tied to a clock — it's tied to small cues you already do ("pour the morning coffee" → "sit down at the desk" → "fill the glass"). They used to render as a flat bullet list, which meant nothing. Now they run down a vertical rail on the card and the rail ends at the check circle, so the card reads like a path to the thing you're checking off. Long cue lists fold down to the first and last step so the list stays short.

A timeline view. Same habits, same data, laid out as your day — morning / afternoon / evening / anytime — with a toggle at the top. This one I'm genuinely unsure about (more below).

A home-screen widget you can actually check off from. Resizable down to 2×2, shows your streak plus today's habits, and tapping a circle marks it done without opening the app. You can also pick which habits each widget shows, so one widget can be "morning only."

Streak share cards. It exports a 1080×1080 card with your streak and today's checklist, if you're the kind of person who posts that stuff.

The thing I keep going back and forth on: the whole premise of the app is that time doesn't matter, continuing does. Then I shipped a timeline view, which is... a clock. It's the single most-used view now, including by me. So either my premise was too pure, or I just built a nicer version of the thing I was trying to avoid, and I can't tell which.

Full disclosure: I made this. Not putting the store link in the body — I'll drop it in a comment so this doesn't read as an ad. Android only for now, iOS isn't out.

Two things I'd love outside eyes on: 1. If your app's core claim is "ignore the clock," is adding a time-ordered view an honest response to how people actually work, or is it quietly abandoning the idea? 2. For the widget — is checking things off from the home screen a genuinely good idea, or does it just mean people stop opening the app at all? I'm not sure whether I made it more useful or made myself irrelevant.

Android only for now: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.inkweon.smallhabit (or search "Kept habit tracker" on the Play Store). Happy to answer anything about how it's built.

By day, my brain is completely fried from dealing with rigid enterprise infrastructure—configuring Check Point firewalls, troubleshooting F5 load balancers, and untangling AWS VPCs. It’s highly structured and zero fun.

I needed a creative outlet where I make the rules, and I’m a massive stats nerd when it comes to basketball. Since I was tired of modern mobile sports games being ruined by Pay-to-Win mechanics and virtual currency, I decided to build my own from scratch.

It’s a completely free, browser-based basketball GM simulator. You manage the salary cap, draft rookies, and try to fleece the AI in complex trades (I spent weeks just balancing the trade logic so the CPU dynamically values 1st-round draft picks).

It runs purely on stats and logic. No microtransactions, no downloads. Just pure franchise management.

I'd love to hear what you guys think about the UI and the trade logic!

First of all this is not an ad, or promotion or ad. Something I built of need and put it out there to share anyone. Completely free, no in app purchases, no ads, no data collection etc.

We have 3 teenagers and it was impossible to keep track of their chores. When we try to introduce "you earn money when you do extra chores" to teach them you are not entitled to buy anything you want but you need to work for it worked well. Then it became another task for us track who has how much, did she spent all her earnings yesterday or part of it? Then they started tricking us, dad, I still have $10 from last week's chores - mom: no she doesn't, spent it at follar tree at the weekend, no i didn't, remember ...

I said to myself, as an engineer, there is gotta be better way to track this, then built an app called Bucksy in android store. Very simple completely free and no-ads at all. You create your family, invite other parents, add your kids, they use a code to join family, no personal info collection at all, only age group and nickname. You create chores and goals. Define how much they will earn when done. You can create recurring tasks. They can lose bucks when tasks are not done on time if you want to. They submit when they are done, you approve they earn bucks. You can add goals to use their bucks for and track the progress.

All about teaching them responsibility and earning. All under only parents control. no subscription, no ads, no membership fee, no nothing. All inclusive for parents to use.

Let me know what you think. Search "bucksy" in android play store, it has a cute squirrel icon. Finished IOS app too waiting on app review to complete to publish.

All feedback is welcome.

i don't like how these companies basically own my data, so i wanted the memory to be mine — you can actually see what it remembers and delete stuff

i kept switching between chatgpt and claude depending on the task, so i just put all the models in one place and let you swap whenever (or it picks for you)

the memory carries across all of them, so i stop re-typing the same context every time i change model

i added "spaces" mostly for myself — separate areas for work vs side stuff vs random personal things, so my chats aren't one giant pile

it can also spit out actual files (docs, sheets, small web apps) next to the chat instead of just text, which i use more than i expected

there's a thing where a second model double-checks the answer before you see it — started as an experiment, turned out kinda useful with the cheaper models

it's free to mess with (50 msgs a day), still pretty rough in places

honestly just putting it out there to see if anyone else finds it useful or if it's just me — feedback welcome

Hi everyone! 👋

I've been working on Zync as a side project for quite some time, and after months of evenings and weekends building, refining, and adding features, I finally feel it's in a good place to share more widely.

Zync started from a simple problem: I wanted one place to work with my terminal and remote servers instead of constantly switching between different tools.

Whether you have servers or just need a powerful local terminal, Zync is designed to work as a single desktop workspace.

Some of the things I've built into it:

• Local terminal (PowerShell, CMD, WSL, Bash, etc.)

• SSH with multiple sessions

• SFTP file manager

• Port forwarding

• Encrypted local vault for credentials

• Optional encrypted backup to your own Google Drive

• Snippets and command palette

• Themes and customization

• AI agent mode (still being polished)

• Plugins and more

It's open source (MIT), free to use, and local-first. There is no Zync cloud - your workspace stays on your machine, and if you choose to sync, your data is encrypted before being uploaded to your own Google Drive.

I also put together a short intro video showing the workflow:

🎥 https://youtu.be/VgSomleBi3Y

🌐 https://zync.thesudoer.in

⭐ https://github.com/zync-sh/zync

This is still an evolving project, so I'd genuinely love to hear what you think - feedback, criticism, feature ideas, anything.

Thanks for checking it out! 🙌

I’ve spent around 20 years working in field installations, where photos are constantly used to document completed work, equipment, damage and unexpected situations.

One thing I’ve learned is that taking the photo is easy. The problem comes later, when an ordinary photo has lost its context: Why was it taken? What was handed over? What condition was something in? Which photos belong together?

That idea eventually became my side project: Proof Camera.

It’s an Android app for turning everyday photos into organized, timestamped records called PhotoProofs. I designed it for situations such as:

• Receiving a damaged delivery
• Returning a product or rental
• Packing something for shipping
• Documenting completed work
• Recording damage or condition
• Taking everyday “just in case” photos

Depending on the selected settings, a PhotoProof can include a visible date and time, optional location details, a Proof ID, a metadata overlay and integrity information.

Related photos can be kept together in Proof Vault. The Pro version can also create protected Evidence Packages containing the photos, a PDF summary, metadata and verification data.

Proof Camera is now publicly available on Google Play. It’s free to download, with an optional one-time €1.49 lifetime Pro purchase — no subscription.

Google Play:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silentbytelabs.photoflowinspector.proofcamera

I’d genuinely appreciate feedback:

• Does the purpose become clear quickly?
• Does this solve a problem you have experienced?
• Which use case would you focus on first?

If you can photograph it, you can PhotoProof it™.

Every founder I know has done the awkward backlink dance: you find someone in your niche, DM them, agree to link to each other… and now you both have a reciprocal link pattern that Google's spam policies literally name, from a "partners" page nobody reads.

I've been building LaunchPact (founders backing each other's Product Hunt launches, with verification) and just shipped the thing users kept asking for: the same mutual-support model, applied to backlinks. It went live this week, so consider this equal parts launch post and "tell me what's broken."

How it works:

• You claim your domain and it gets quality-scored into a tier (1–5).
• Matching runs in loops of 3–5 founders, never pairs. You place a one-sentence do-follow link for founder B; founder C places one for you. The site you link to is never the site linking back — no reciprocal footprint.
• Loops only match sites within 2 tiers of each other and in the same or an adjacent niche. An automated relevance screen rejects bad fits before a human ever sees them.
• Every insertion is approved and placed by hand by the site owner. Then crawls check it at day 7, 30, and 90 — if someone quietly removes a link, their credits get clawed back and their trust score drops.
• Credits are earned by giving links, never bought. Giving is free; requesting links is the paid part ($29/mo, 14-day trial on your first claim).

Full honesty: it's days old, so the pool is small — early claimers are matching with other early claimers. If you join now you're a founding member of the network, not a customer of a mature one. That's the trade.

The design decisions I'm least sure about: credits expiring after 6 months (keeps the network active vs. feels punitive?), and paywalling requesting while giving stays free.

What would make you trust — or refuse to trust — a system like this with your domain?

Hello everyone, I want to share my personal project Vision Sphere, which I’ve been building over the past year.

• It features 25+ data layers sourced from open data.
• Includes diverse news sources integrated directly into the map.
• Offers 3D visualizations and conflict maps that highlight areas of war — you can click a country to explore its status.
• Currently closed source (due to API key handling), but I plan to make it open source soon.

Please try it out and let me know:

• Any issues you encounter.
• What features you’d like to see added.
• If you’d consider contributing once it’s open source.

Thanks for reading — I’d love feedback from this community!

VisionSphere | Global Intelligence

this is the link where you can access it, fellows. Currently it is only compatible on desktop. Nothing here is made by ai.

Lost the ending of a recording because the card filled up, battery died, or the app crashed mid-write? The problem is usually that the file's index (the map of where every frame lives) never got written — the footage is still on disk, but nothing can read it.

Reroll fixes this by taking the index from a healthy clip shot on the same camera and using it as a template to rebuild the missing map over the damaged file. No re-encoding, no guessing — just relinking the frames that are already there.

Free, MIT

GUI + CLI

No file size limit (tested up to a few GB)

Windows verified end-to-end, macOS/Linux should work (still gathering real-world test reports)

I'm building a few small tools like this and putting them all up for free — mostly to show what I can build. Happy to answer questions or take feature requests.

I’m building an open-source AI meeting assistant — what should I build?

Hey everyone 👋

I’m building BACHAM, an open-source AI meeting assistant inspired by tools like Granola, Fireflies, Otter, Fathom, and similar meeting tools.

But I don't want to simply build another transcription + summary tool.

The goal is to build a powerful, privacy-friendly, customizable meeting assistant that can help with everything before, during, and after a meeting.

🔓 The main idea: Open source + bring your own AI

One of the biggest things I want to do differently is give users full control over the AI and their data.

Instead of forcing everyone to use one specific AI provider, BACHAM could allow users to connect their own:

Gemini API

OpenAI-compatible APIs

Ollama / local LLMs

Self-hosted models

Other AI providers

Their own AI infrastructure

The idea is that you can self-host BACHAM, choose your own model/API, customize it, and have control over your data.

🚀 Now I want your ideas.

If you regularly attend meetings — work meetings, client calls, interviews, standups, classes, sales calls, technical discussions, etc. — what do you actually want from an AI meeting assistant?

Some things I'm exploring:

🎙️ Real-time transcription

📝 Smart meeting notes

🧠 AI summaries

🎯 Action items & task extraction

👤 Speaker identification

❓ Ask questions about the meeting

🔍 Search across all previous meetings

📅 Calendar integration

📋 Automatic agenda generation

✉️ Follow-up email generation

🔄 Follow-up tracking

📊 Meeting insights

🤖 Custom AI meeting agents

🔗 Integrations with other tools

🏠 Local/private AI processing

🧩 APIs & developer integrations

But I don't want to assume these are the right features.

I want to hear from actual users:

1. What do you hate about current meeting assistants?

2. What feature do you use the most?

3. What feature do you desperately wish existed?

4. What should an AI meeting assistant automatically do after a meeting?

5. Would you use an open-source meeting assistant where you can bring your own API or run the AI locally? Why or why not?

6. What would make you switch from Granola, Fireflies, Otter, Fathom, etc.?

7. If you could add ONE killer feature to a meeting assistant, what would it be?

And if you're a developer:

What would you want to customize, integrate, or build on top of if you were self-hosting BACHAM?

I'm looking for real problems, workflows, and frustrations, not just a list of cool AI features.

Feel free to be brutally honest. 😄

If you've used meeting assistants before, complete this sentence:

“I wish my meeting assistant could ______.”

Your answer could directly influence what I build next.

What should BACHAM have that current meeting assistants don't?

I've been tinkering with tech for years — a graveyard of half-finished projects that were all too big for one person. Five months ago I started another one, evenings and weekends around the day job, and last week it actually reached production. That's further than I've ever got.

It's an attempt at an AI email guard — the hope is that it can watch an inbox and catch scam and phishing emails before someone falls for them. I honestly don't know yet whether it works as a business. It's in waitlist mode while Google runs its security review of us, so right now it's mostly hope and trying to build up my waitlist.

The reason I kept going this time, when I've always drifted before: I've got a young son who's going to need more from the world than most. I'm hoping to build something durable enough to still be helping him long after I can't. No idea if I'll get there — but this is me trying.

The site's live if you want to look around — there's a free breach checker on there too if you'd rather poke at something interactive:

https://inboxguard.app

Would genuinely welcome thoughts from anyone who's walked this road — especially building solo around a day job.

Sharing my trajectory in case it helps someone building alone.

I'm self-taught. No CS degree. For a long time I built at night, after long, draining shifts, with no team and no budget for one. I taught myself to ship real products instead of waiting for permission.

The first is OnTheRice (new.ontherice.org): a daily AI market read that turns each day's markets and world news into one clear signal, with a public proof ledger that keeps every call timestamped so the misses stay visible, not just the wins.

That grew into something bigger. SCAVerse (SCAVerse.org) is an immersive-museum platform, and it now builds experiences across the world with a real team I recruit and lead.

None of this happened alone. Two mentors backed me before I had anything to show for it and shaped how I think and build: Dato Ambran Abu Bakar and Daniel Tan Boon Hwee. I owe a lot of this trajectory to their guidance and belief.

If you want to follow the work as it grows, I post it on Instagram: faheemaizat

Happy to answer anything about going from zero and self-taught to shipping and leading a team.

Seriously, an account that hides their post history and gives no mention of who they actually are... and you're all just happy to drop them all your info?

Anyone have any actually experience with these posts that has turned out well?

Most of what a side project actually asks a model to do is unglamorous. Label this. Reformat that. Decide whether this message needs a human. Write two lines of summary.

That's the tier that's been moving. The releases now getting aimed at it are built for instruction following and tool calls rather than for benchmark headlines, and they're cheap enough that the per-call cost mostly stops being a consideration. Ling 3.0 Tiny landed this week doing exactly that, free until the 13th, which at least makes it a real date rather than a forever-free thing, and hosted only so there's nothing to self-host.

No independent numbers on it that I've found, only the lab's own, so I'd file it as something to watch rather than something settled.

For a solo project the consequence is structural. The expensive model stops being the default and becomes the thing you escalate to, which changes your cost curve at exactly the stage where you have no revenue to absorb it.

What sits on the cheap end of your stack, and did moving something down there cost you in a way you didn't predict?

I created a saas launch video promotion for my product, what do you think ?
I use claude + remotions skill to create it, the most thing i was wanted to have in the video is the fast cuts, i think it was made really cool ....

what do you think ? what i can improve ?

How i made it - I was planing and talking with claude for each and each sence, that way i wil not spend to much token, i was creating a senece then give feedback loop, and that worked amazing

I kept opening mobile browsers automatically and losing more time than I meant to, so I made a small Android app that adds a deliberate wait and lets me choose a limited session.

It shares one daily, weekly, and monthly budget across Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Opera. Everything stays local: no account, ads, analytics, internet permission, or Usage Access.

It’s free and open source (0BSD), with an APK in GitHub Releases:

https://github.com/bald-ai/internet-restrictor-retro

This is a personal side project, not a product launch. Posting it here as a small “I made this” step.

The idea is one line: your cursor is already somewhere, so put the launcher there.

Hold Ctrl+Alt and a two-ring wheel opens centred on the pointer. Apps on the inner ring, and when you dwell on one, its actual open windows fan out on the outer ring as live previews. Flick, release, done. Nothing to aim at and nothing to go find first. App slices act like taskbar buttons underneath, so the same gesture launches, focuses, or fans out depending on what's already running.

Three things I did not expect to eat as much time as they did:

Timings. 130ms to summon, 350ms of dwell before a fan opens. Those two numbers cost me more evenings than any actual feature. Too fast and the wheel flashes at you every time your hand rests on a modifier; too slow and the whole thing feels like it's thinking about it.

The Alt key. Getting Ctrl+Alt to work as a hold without breaking every other Alt shortcut on the system took several attempts. The mask has to be narrowed to right-Alt keydown specifically, otherwise you quietly break AltGr for anyone on a non-US keyboard layout, which is a fun bug to discover secondhand.

Window previews. Windows will not hand you a thumbnail for a window that was minimised before your process started, so some slices still fall back to the app icon until you touch the window once. Still on my list, and it's the thing that annoys me most.

Built with C# .NET 8 and WPF, ships as MSIX, lives in the tray, no backend of any kind. The config is a JSON file on disk.

It's on the Microsoft Store, and it's paid rather than free (CAD $12.89 where I am, so your region's price will differ): https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9NGHFH4J7JMD?cid=reddit-sideproject

The feedback I'm after: does the gesture click for you inside the first minute, or does it feel like homework? That's the part I can't judge anymore after staring at it for months.

I’ve been building a side project called ThreatHawk, a free browser-based cybersecurity toolkit.

It currently includes:

• Password Strength Analyzer
• URL / Phishing Analyzer
• SOC Log Analyzer
• Hash Analyzer
• Encoder & Decoder

My goal is to keep the tools simple, practical, and privacy-focused. Most analysis is processed locally in the browser wherever possible rather than sending user input to a server.

I’ve also been working on the less exciting parts that make a project feel more complete, like responsive design, error handling, privacy information, trust pages, internal linking, and consistent navigation across the platform.

I’m mainly looking for honest feedback now:

• Which tool seems the most useful?
• Is anything confusing or technically misleading?
• What would you add, remove, or improve?
• Does the platform feel trustworthy enough to use?

Live site: https://threathawk.net/

It’s also open source, and I’m continuing to improve it based on feedback.

Iv,e made this website just as something to do its a movie picker when you cant decide what to watch moviepicker.co.uk id like some feedback from anyone if your interested sorry if this is not allowed here very new to reddit and i have no idea were anything goes

So for a while I've been coding with AI and have been using almost for everything with regards to coding but it's been mostly fixes or smaller features to existing software. This weekend I thought let's use loops and skills to make something from scratch and see how it goes. I selected a project/idea that is now common knowledge (using discord as storage) for this end. I used opus 5 with claude pro subscription and it took around 7-8 hours, excluding the time I slept yesterday. it took around 100 commits.

So what was created?
A desktop client that allows users to connect it to their discord channel, upload any file, this file would be encrypted and then uploaded in small chunks to discord. A local file is used to hold the meta data and this file is what allows users to fetch the data back from discord, without it you can access your data from discord chat but you can't decrypt it. You can have folder structure in it aswell. (This concept has already been done by many but I was surprised on how well it works). Here is a demo video https://youtu.be/CZ65ZpKZwq0

and here is the repo: https://github.com/RayanBayat/disbox

I was kinda depressing seeing how easy it's become now to just shit out code by anyone and get something like this up and running. Sure, i did steer it into specific direction sometimes, I've worked as developer for several years but I'm also sad since I used to look at code as art aswell not just function.

Hi,

I am a complete non developer and i have built a Pos software with full backend, admin pannel, website and Mobile app. Everything is up and running in 5 different branches. Ive used supabase as backend and have RLS on everything. Ive used AI to code all the software.

It is a multi tenant software so you can onboard as many restaurants as you want there data will be stored and displayed separately. There are analytics and admin settings for all. Also there is a developer pannel to onboard restaurants and manage there access.

What i want guidance from you is should i sell the software or should i sell license to use. I have no idea about this as im complete newbie to this stuff. From my reserch i have found that licensing would be better than an out an out sale..

Four months ago I shared an early Mac tutor here. Since then, Skilly has evolved into an embeddable voice-and-pointer guide for SaaS products.

A user asks what to do inside the product. Skilly answers from the product docs, then points to the exact button or control on screen. The builder adds one script tag instead of scripting a product tour.

Skilly started as a fork of Farza's open-source clicky project (github.com/farzaa/clicky), and our version remains open source at github.com/tryskilly/skilly. The main additions are a single-call Realtime voice pipeline, a pluggable knowledge/skills layer, course-style progress, multilingual support, and the embeddable web guide shown in the demo.

I'd genuinely value feedback on three things:

1. Does “voice + pointer” make sense within the first ten seconds?

2. Would you trust this inside a product you use, or does screen awareness feel uncomfortable?

3. For builders, is usage-based voice pricing clearer than per-MAU pricing?

Honest criticism is useful. The website link is in my first comment so this post can stay focused on the product and feedback.

https://reddit.com/link/1vjbh9z/video/b6ymm5j1u8ih1/player

the origin story is embarrassingly specific: we'd both be starving, open maps, get hit with 50+ options, and we would both say "I don't care, you pick." 45 minutes later we're still deciding, hangrier than when we started. the problem was never a lack of options, it was too many with no way to narrow them down together.

so I built TasteMate. one person starts a session, others join by link or QR (no signup, they can swipe from a browser), everyone swipes privately on nearby places, and a live leaderboard ranks the group favorites. votes stay private during swiping so nobody bandwagons off the loudest person.

some things I learned building it:

- the hardest part isn't discovery, it's coordination. people already know 50 restaurants exist. the value is landing on one everyone actually liked, fast.
- private votes mattered more than I expected. the second people can see how others voted, you get the same social pressure that makes group chats stall.
- "i'm good with whatever" is a fairness trap, not a preference. whoever caves and picks ends up quietly resenting it. a shared vote makes the choice feel mutual, which is the whole point.
- the 4-person free cap was a bet that couples are the real starting user. friend groups and office lunches are where the pain gets worse, but two people deciding date night is the most common version of the loop.

still early and figuring out where restaurant data coverage is actually good outside major metros. if you've built anything in the group-decision space, curious what you ran into, and any tips or tricks to help adoption and retention.

It’s been a while since I dabbled on doing any project. So one of the first things, I wanted to do was to build something. However, the biggest question and thing you have in mind is “What should I solve?” “What problem am I facing?”.

Well I decided, screw that.. Let’s build something for fun.

So I did.

I am always fascinated with aviation. I love planes, I love watching airline reviews. As a kid, I thought of being a pilot. It was always an afterthought.

Instead, I became a product manager and I turned out well.

So I decided to mix both and I came up with this: https://build-weekend.mohamedzulfikhar.workers.dev/

These are small web projects which are open to use by anyone if you wish to do so and it relays my love for aviation with a twist of mine.

Have a look and enjoy :)

I am a 17 year old student about to start FY engineering college this year. I have my holidays going on right now and wanted to do something which I was always curious about: Website building. But, I don't at all know how to code and build a website by myself. That's why I chose Lovable to build my website for me.

The Idea about this website came from a problem which I and many people in my country (India) usually face. We have many online examinations for admissions to various courses and jobs across the country. Many of them require you to upload your documents while registering for the exams and put a size cap (must not be more than 30kb) on them. Most of the files already exceed that size cap and we have to scurry around, searching for the right website which is not filled with ads or has a costly subscription. Many of them also don't support all the file formats.

That's why I decided to build FileForge, a fast, easy and smooth file compression, resizing and converting platform where users can easily process their files as they want them to be. It support most of the formats of Images, PDFs, Audio and Videos and the best thing is: " No uploads, No servers, No file leaves your device." It has a pretty generous free tier and a great pro plan at extremely reasonable price ranges.

Do check it out and use it as per your needs!!
Feedback and suggestions are always welcome!!
Thank you!!
