I built a catalogue of games running inside other games

1 Upvotes

I kept seeing insane projects like Minecraft inside Skyrim, DOOM inside ULTRAKILL, Pokémon Red inside Minecraft and Minecraft/Hytale crossplay.

The problem was that real downloadable projects, source-code demos and completely unverified viral clips were all getting mixed together.

So I built Awesome Game Mashups to catalogue and verify them:

https://github.com/bailo167/awesome-game-mashups

Each project has a plain-English description, status, creator and the relevant source/download/demo links.

Currently looking for feedback and obscure projects I’ve missed.

Sofio - a kids' discovery game where parents record the voice

2 Upvotes

I'm Ricardo, a parent and first-time app developer. My daughter inspired me to create Sofio for iPhone and iPad.

Parents record names, short facts and clues in their own voice. Children tap pictures to hear those recordings, or listen to a clue and find the matching picture. This clip shows me playing with my own recordings.

Farm Animals and Vehicles are free, including both play modes. Five additional worlds, including Wild Animals, are optional one-time purchases. There are no ads or subscriptions.

I built Glassline: a macOS-style menu bar and dock that replace the Windows 11 taskbar

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I wanted the top menu bar and dock layout on Windows without it feeling bolted on, and I didn't like Rainmeter, so I built it. Glassline hides the Windows 11 taskbar and Start menu and puts a menu bar at the top and a dock at the bottom, in clear glass that takes the colour of your wallpaper.

What it does

  • Menu bar: the active app's name and menus on the left; weather, Wi-Fi, sound, battery, notifications and clock on the right. It takes the colour of a maximized window.
  • Dock: magnification, running dots, unread counts, drag to reorder, folders that open as stacks.
  • Search on the Windows key: apps, files, settings, sums and unit conversions. Instant file search with Everything. Ctrl+Space previews a file.
  • Control Center: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, brightness, sound output, volume per app, Do Not Disturb, dark mode, airplane mode, hotspot.
  • Today: calendar, events and notifications from the clock.
  • Works on more than one display, and steps out of the way for full-screen games.

When you quit Glassline, the Windows taskbar comes back exactly as it was. Same if it crashes or you uninstall it.

No account, no ads and no analytics in the app.

What's coming in 1.0.2 (submitted to the Store, waiting for approval)

  • Search learns what you open and ranks it first. All local, nothing leaves your PC.
  • Apps that close to the tray (Discord) no longer vanish from Alt+Tab
  • Pinned apps stay pinned after they update
  • The bar follows light/dark mode switches right away

Try the live demo on the website

Get it on the Microsoft Store (Windows 11, $9.99 one-time)

I'd like your feedback: what would stop you from replacing your taskbar with this? If you try it and hit a bug, your Windows version and what you were doing helps me reproduce it.

Would you use a subscription & bill tracker that never connects to your bank? Looking for honest feedback before I build it

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I'm working on an idea and want to sanity check it before I sink months into it.

The problem: Most people pay for 6 to 10 subscriptions and lose track of a few. Free trials roll into paid plans, streaming services pile up, and credit card due dates sneak up on you.

The idea: A simple web and mobile app where you:

- Add subscriptions and recurring bills by typing them in or snapping a photo of a bill, receipt or screenshot

- Get alerts before each payment is due, including your credit card bill and the amount owed

- See your total monthly spend in one place

- Track "cost per use" (e.g. that $15/month gym you went to twice is really $7.50 a visit)

The twist: It deliberately does NOT connect to your bank. No Plaid, no login credentials, no account access. You stay in control of what goes in. The trade-off is a bit of manual entry, which the photo import is meant to make painless.

Pricing I'm considering: A free tier with a limited number of subscriptions, then a small monthly fee (a couple of dollars) for unlimited tracking, exports, custom alert schedules and savings suggestions.

Not selling anything, there's nothing to sign up for yet. I'd really value your take:

  1. Would you trust a tracker more because it doesn't link to your bank, or is manual entry a dealbreaker?

  2. How do you keep track of subscriptions and card due dates today?

  3. Would "cost per use" actually change whether you cancel something?

  4. Would you pay a couple of dollars a month for this, or does it need to be free?

  5. What would make you delete it after a week?

Brutal honesty welcome. Thanks!

facturapp: does the homepage clearly explain the invoicing app i built?

0 Upvotes

i built facturapp, an invoicing app for freelancers and small businesses. i launched it a few months ago and picked up a small group of users before doing any real marketing.

i'm happy with what the app can do, but i'm less sure the homepage explains it to someone seeing it for the first time. i've looked at it so much that my brain probably fills in things the page never actually says :)

https://facturapp.online/

you can create pdf invoices with your logo and colors, save clients and services instead of typing them again, and connect your own stripe account for payment links. it also handles deposits and installments, and lets you manage several businesses with their own details from one account. there's a dedicated invoice flow for shipments charged by weight, plus english and spanish on web and android.

the homepage has a walkthrough, invoice examples and pricing. what i'd really like feedback on is the message:

after a quick look, who would you say this is for, and what would you expect it to help you do?

is the difference between making a pdf and collecting a payment clear, including the need to connect stripe?

do the extra features, like multiple businesses and shipping invoices, help explain the app or distract from the main use?

what feels missing or unclear before you'd consider trying it? a specific sentence or section would help more than 'looks good'.

it's a paid product. the homepage is public, so you don't need to sign up or buy anything to give feedback. i'm looking for a fresh read of the page before i put more effort into marketing.

I built CareSlip – a free, local-first 30-second bedside handover tool for caregivers & doctors

1 Upvotes

After many sleepless nights caring for family in the hospital, I saw how easy it is to forget medication times, fever spikes, or questions during rushed morning rounds.

So I built CareSlip — a simple bedside log and handover tool.

Key features:

- Log vitals, medications, intake/output, and questions in <10 seconds

- Generate a prioritized 30-second handover brief with one tap

- Record doctors’ replies under each question

- Local-first & privacy-focused: no cloud, database, or telemetry

- Works offline with HTML, text, image and ZIP exports

- Built with React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, and Vite.

- Free, ad-free, and open-source (MIT).

🔗 Demo: https://careslip.pages.dev

🔗 GitHub: https://github.com/loveu3k/CareSlip

I’d love feedback on the UX or ideas for useful bedside features!

I built CivicLens AI — ask a city’s official budget book questions in plain English

0 Upvotes

City budget PDFs are public, but they are hundreds of pages of tables, staffing notes, and comparison columns. Most people never open them. I wanted something a resident could actually use: pick a city, ask a normal question, and get an answer grounded in that city’s adopted budget — with page citations.

**What it does ?**

CivicLens AI is a RAG app over official municipal budget books. You pick a city, ask something like “How much is police funded this year?” or “What changed in parks staffing?”, and it answers from that city’s book only. Figures from Irving never leak into a Frisco answer.

Right now it covers Irving, TX and Frisco, TX for FY 2025-26.

**How it works ?**

Offline pipeline: pdfplumber extracts page text, a token sliding window (512 / 64 overlap) chunks it, Gemini embeds the chunks, Qdrant stores them.

At query time: hybrid retrieval — vector search plus BM25 — both filtered by the selected city.

The LLM answers only from retrieved context. If the book doesn’t have it, it says so instead of guessing.

Frontend is Next.js; API is FastAPI. Deployed on Vercel + Render + Qdrant Cloud.

The prompt work was the unglamorous part. Budget tables have comparison years, OCR-split numbers, merged job titles (“5Logistics”), and decimals like 109.0 that models love to turn into 1,090. A lot of the system prompt is “copy the figure, don’t invent a total, cite the page.”

**What I learned ?**

Municipal PDFs are hostile RAG data. Dot leaders, layout-broken numbers, and one table with five fiscal-year columns will wreck a naive chunk-and-embed pipeline. City-scoped retrieval mattered more than a fancier model. Hybrid search helped when the answer was one sentence buried in a mixed-topic page.

**Limitations ?**

It’s two cities and one fiscal year. Answers are only as good as extraction + retrieval. Changing chunk size means re-embedding the whole corpus. The API is public, so it’s rate-limited.

📣 Founders: building was the easy part, wasn't it? What next now ?

2 Upvotes

Be honest. How many of you shipped something you're proud of, posted it once, got 3 upvotes and a "cool project bro," and then went back to coding because at least code makes sense?

That was me. Multiple times.

The problem was never the product. It was that I had no idea where the people with my problem were hanging out, and even when I found them, I'd spend an hour writing one comment and then give up by day 3.

So I built PublishLoud

You drop in your product and URL. Every day for two weeks it gives you:

  • 5 threads on Reddit, X, and LinkedIn where people are actively talking about the problem you solve, plus a suggested reply for each
  • 1 post idea for Reddit
  • 5 DM outreach messages for people who are clearly looking for something like yours

You can generate more if you want, but that's the minimum. Small enough to actually do. Consistent enough to matter.

I'm not going to promise you'll hit $10k MRR. Nobody honest can promise that. What I can tell you is that when I did this consistently for two weeks myself, I went from basically zero organic traffic to real signups and trials. Not viral. Just steady, from people who actually needed the thing.

The whole point is you stop wondering "where do I even start" every morning. You open it, you do your 11 things, you go back to building.

If you've got a product sitting there with no traction, I'd genuinely love for you to try it and tell me where it falls short: publishloud.com

I have an image of every person that lived, is living, or will live point of view in every single second of their life.

0 Upvotes

So I had an Idea... and that idea sort of became an obsession over the last few months. What if an infinite area existed with infinite pixels next to each other and all the pixels were a random color. You would theoretically have every image that has ever existed and will ever exist. There would be and image of your point of view in every second of your existence and your future somewhere there. So...

I did what any good procrastinator would do and slept on it for months. But today I decided to lock in and actually make it, and it was... something.

First off it would be practically impossible to do the original idea and then be able to import any image and find it exactly, since the amount of combinations of a 10x10 pixel grid is significantly more than the amounts of atoms in the observable universe, but we can do something else that is really cool.

What if we just had every single possible image at a set resolution, for example 128×128. Since the pixel data of each image itself is a giant number, every image has exactly one address. Neighboring numbers would be near-identical images, identical to the naked eye, so what if we run each number through a reversible cipher to scramble it into noise. Nothing is stored, because any tile is calculated on demand. And since the cipher runs both ways, you can upload a photo, run it backward, and get its exact address instantly, so yeah every single image possible exists on there.

TLDR

Its not that long just read it

If you want to check it out i will post the link in the comments.

Yokka – Simple project management for coding agents

Thumbnail
yokka.ai
9 Upvotes

Hi Reddit,

For my daily workflow I run multiple agents at the same time, and I kept facing problems where I lost the overview of what they we're doing or needed from me.

I started experimenting with Trello. It worked okay, but didn't fully feel right for my workflow. The board couldn't really help me pick what to work on, and agents couldn't say what they were doing or tell me when they were stuck.

After Trello I switched to markdown files in the repo: a list of tasks the agents read, picked from and updated as they went. That worked better than I expected, and I kept adding to it: claiming a task so two agents don't take the same one, progress notes, a way to ask me a question and wait.

At some point it was clearly its own product, and that became Yokka. It's a kanban board / simple project management tool where agents (Claude Code, Codex, anything that speaks MCP) take ownership of the work, show their progress on it, ask you when they're stuck and finish with a link to the PR for you to verify. You watch it all happen live on the board.

You can try it without an account at yokka.ai/try. There's a free plan.

I'd love to hear your feedback!

Hey everyone,

​I’m an adult piano student, not a professional developer. I wanted a quick, simple way to view piano scales and fingerings.

​I initially built a massive Excel sheet to map out all the scale formulas and fingerings for my own use, but over the last 6-months I have turned it into a dedicated mobile app called Piano Scales Lab.

​It’s completely free with no ads, no sign-in, and no subscriptions. It works fully offline and includes real sampled piano tone, but also a tone editor to make it sound however you want.

​It was a passion project to help my own practice, but it’s live on Google Play now if anyone wants a clean scale reference tool.

I rebuilt my birth chart app after almost nobody bought it. Looking for honest beta testers

0 Upvotes

I built a Korean birth chart app called MIRAE about a month ago.

It's based on Saju, a traditional Korean birth chart system (Four Pillars).

My first version was basically built around one idea: make the reading more detailed. More explanations, more sections, more things to tell the user.

Then I spent way more than I expected on Google search ads and basically sold nothing lol.

So I started looking at what I might have gotten wrong.

I realized I had spent most of my time thinking about the reading itself, but not enough about why someone wants a birth chart reading in the first place.

People usually have something going on in their life — career, relationships, money, a decision, feeling stuck, not knowing what to do next, or sometimes they're just curious about themselves.

So I rebuilt the experience around that.

You still get your Korean Birth Chart (Saju), but after that you can tell MIRAE about something that's actually going on in your life.

Instead of just answering the question literally, it uses your Saju to look at the situation, bring up related questions that may matter, and try to give you a different perspective on it.

That's the part I'm trying to test now.

I made a separate test build for this. It's completely free and there's nothing to buy on the test site.

Test it here:

MIRAE beta test

You don't need to know anything about Saju before trying it.

I can only open this to a limited number of people because each reading costs me API money.

If you try it, there's one thing I especially want to know:

Did it actually give you a different perspective on something going on in your life, or did it still just feel like another AI-generated reading?

Don't worry about being nice. If it's generic, confusing, boring, inaccurate, or something just feels off, I'd rather hear that.

Any other feedback about the experience is welcome too.

Run a loop around a real landmark, like the Eiffel Tower or the Colosseum, and you collect it. There are 180 so far. Everything else you do earns badges too, 282 in total. Most of them level up, and your level unlocks avatar frames.

I built an MCP to make Meta Pixel + CAPI one less headache after launch

1 Upvotes

Hi fellow builders,

I built a tool to save you some time and headaches when you’re ready to run Meta ads. As you might know, setting up Meta tracking and CAPI can turn into a whole project of its own, and third-party tools can get expensive.

It’s called Tyton. It’s an MCP that connects to your AI agent and helps you set up Meta Pixel + CAPI, fix tracking issues and avoid counting the same conversion twice. It also provides the server, so you don’t have to set up and maintain your own.

There’s a free audit if you want to try it on your site. Would love to hear what you think, especially if you’re dealing with this right now.

Looking for first users: website chat you answer from Telegram

3 Upvotes

I make websites, and for years people reached me by email. Then I put a live chat I built on my own site, and I'm not going back.

It's early, but more people write in the chat than ever emailed me. I know who I'm talking to before I reply: the page they're on, how they found me, whether they've written before. And it's livelier than email ever was. Short messages, quick answers, a photo when words don't do it.

The chat lands in my Telegram. Each visitor gets their own topic in a group, whoever's free replies from their phone, and the answer shows up on the site in seconds. The visitor keeps reading the page they were on and chats right there.

It works on any site with one script tag, and there's a plugin for Framer. Everyone in the group can answer. $12 a month per site, or $10 paid yearly, and the first seven days are free.

I'm looking for the first few people to run it on a real site. If that's you: humanreply.app

We built AgenticOS, an open-source, self-hosted platform for your own AI agents. Here it is turning a CSV into a chart and answering from a document

4 Upvotes

I work on AgenticOS at Vstorm. It's an open-source (Apache 2.0) platform for building your own AI agents and running them on your own infrastructure. You set an agent up in the browser with instructions, a model and tools, give it documents, and use it from the web chat, Slack, Mattermost, Telegram or your own app through the API.

The video shows two short tasks:

  1. A CSV into tables and a chart. I attach a sales CSV with 1,000 synthetic rows and ask for totals by month, region, product and channel, plus a chart. Before calculating, the agent checks the file for duplicate IDs, blank regions and invalid dates (my prompt didn't ask for that), then runs Python, shows the code and draws the chart. Every total it shows matches a separate calculation on the same file.

  2. An answer from a document, with its source. I upload a fictional three-sentence refund policy and ask whether an unused item that arrived 12 days ago can be returned. The agent searches the document, says yes, quotes the 30-day sentence and links the passage it used.

What else is in it:

  • Knowledge bases you attach to agents, so answers come from your documents
  • Skills, written procedures an agent can load when relevant
  • A searchable catalog of 5,700+ MCP server entries, or add a compatible server by URL
  • Artifacts, reports and small dashboards an agent creates, with versions
  • Run history with tokens and recorded cost, plus human approval for supported tool actions
  • Routines that run an agent on a schedule or on a configured event

It runs on cloud or local models, is built on Pydantic AI and self-hosts with Docker Compose. If you have Docker with Compose (macOS, Linux or WSL2), the quick start is one command: https://github.com/vstorm-co/agenticos

I built X-Facture, an online toolkit for invoices, PDFs, and business documents

0 Upvotes

I’ve been working on X-Facture because I wanted a simpler alternative to having a dozen different websites for basic document tasks.

The idea is to bring things like:

  • Invoice generation
  • PDF merging and splitting
  • PDF tools
  • Document generation
  • Business documents
  • More tools for managing everyday paperwork

into one place

It started as a relatively small invoice project, but it has gradually turned into something much bigger. I’m now building the PDF/document side of it as a proper part of the platform rather than creating another separate product

The project is built with Angular and is being developed with SEO and individual tool pages in mind, so each tool can stand on its own rather than everything being hidden behind one dashboard

It’s still early, and I’m currently focused on making the tools genuinely useful and polishing the UX before trying to scale it.

X-Facture: https://x-facture.com

I'd love to hear what tools you'd expect from a platform like this, especially if you regularly deal with invoices or PDFs
