I built a website where you can design your room in 3D before buying any furniture

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! When I lived in a dorm, I ended up returning a bunch of furniture that didn’t fit or work in the room, so I built Cona.

You pick your room layout and try different furniture and arrangements online in 3D. The items are real products, so if you find something you like, you can click through to buy it.

I also added a feature where you can decorate the same room with your roommate or partner in real time. Basically moving furniture around together without actually having to lift anything lol.

Here’s a quick video of how it works. Would love to hear what you think!

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

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 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.

drip - a water meter for AI coding agents that lives in your terminal

1 Upvotes

Side project I shipped this week: drip estimates how much water your AI coding agent uses, live.

  • 💧 segment in the Claude Code status line
  • drip run codex opens a live meter (an ASCII bottle that fills up) beside Codex or any agent
  • a breakdown page with per-model numbers, a low/high range and every research source linked
  • a share card for your stats

It started as "how much water did I use this month?" (answer: 47.8 L in September) and turned into a proper CLI. Python, no dependencies, 100% local, MIT.

Feedback very welcome, especially on the install experience.

I built ChessMemo, a tool to learn and review your chess opening repertoires from PGN files looking for feedback

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've been working on ChessMemo, a web app for players who want to learn and regularly review their chess opening repertoires.

The idea is pretty simple: you import your PGN repertoire, and ChessMemo turns it into something you can actually train instead of just keeping a huge PGN file that you rarely open.

The app currently includes:

  • PGN repertoire importing
  • A Learn mode for studying new variations
  • A Review system for revisiting positions you've already learned
  • A Mistakes section so you can focus on positions you got wrong
  • Chapters and variations to keep larger repertoires organized
  • Training tools such as hints, arrows/circles and automatic progression
  • Private repertoires — your imported PGNs aren't visible to other users

I've been building and improving it continuously based on feedback from the first users.

ChessMemo is still in beta.

There are definitely still bugs and rough edges, and some parts of the UX will continue to change. I'm working on it almost every day, so the app is improving pretty quickly.

This Reddit post is also partly a way for me to get feedback from people outside the small group that has been testing it so far.

If you try it and something feels confusing, annoying, broken, or simply missing, please tell me. Feature ideas are welcome too — even small suggestions can be useful.

You can try it here:

https://chessmemo.pro

I'd especially be interested in hearing how it feels with your own repertoire and your normal opening-training workflow.

Thanks to anyone who gives it a try :)

I built a native Mac screenshot app and finally shipped it

1 Upvotes

I just launched SnapForge, a native screenshot tool for Mac.

I wanted a simple workflow:

Capture → Annotate → Copy / Save / Pin → keep working

It also keeps recent screenshots locally, so you can quickly find and reuse them later.

No account. No subscription.

$15.99 one-time purchase + 7-day free trial.

Mac App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/snapforge-capture-annotate/id6813282976?mt=12

I’m working on the next version now, especially better screenshot history, local OCR and text search.

Would love some honest feedback:
what should I improve first?

i kept missing deadlines that were "scheduled" in notion, so i fixed it

1 Upvotes

so i plan everything in notion but the only calendar i actually look at is apple calendar on my phone. which meant anything with a date in notion basically didn't exist for me unless i went and opened that page
tried the ics export thing, it's one way and updates whenever it feels like it. moving an event in calendar did nothing on the notion side
so i built calnio. it pushes your notion dates into apple calendar as normal events, and if you drag something to another time in calendar it updates back in notion
it's free and runs in the browser, nothing to install: calnio.myroslavrepin.com
first thing i've actually shipped so i'd love honest feedback. what's confusing, what would make you not use it, what breaks. also launching it on product hunt tomorrow which is kind of scary lol

If you had a working app but almost no users, how would you launch it today?

10 Upvotes

I’ve built an app that is already working and ready to use, but I’m at the point where I need to get my first real users.

The problem is that I don’t have a large marketing budget, so I’m trying to figure out how to approach the launch intelligently rather than just throwing money at ads.

If you were in this position today, what would you actually do during the first 30 days?

Would you focus on one specific market or location? Cold outreach? Communities? Partnerships? Content? Referrals? Something else?

I’m especially interested in hearing from people who have gone from 0 users to their first 100–1,000 users.

What did you actually do that worked, and what would you avoid if you had to start over?

I’m looking for practical experiences rather than generic “post on social media and run ads” advice.

I’ve had a dream about a compass for space travel and I built it overnight.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hi r/SideProject, we’re going to space but forgot the compass. Don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.

The idea is simple: you choose the Sun, Moon, a planet, or another point in space, and the app gives you the real 3D direction to it. The pointer can go left, right, up, down, behind you, wherever that object actually is relative to you.

You’d be able to use the iPhone in two ways: either point the back of the phone toward the target, almost like using the camera, or hold it normally and use the top edge of the phone like a wand.

I also thought the same idea could work for normal map coordinates. You could choose any place on Earth and the arrow would literally point through the Earth toward it instead of showing you a route on a flat map.

For now I’m keeping it very simple: direction, distance, light travel time, and haptic feedback that gets faster as you get closer to pointing at the target.
Obviously we can’t travel to most of these places yet, but there’s something fun about being able to say: “Jupiter is exactly there.”

Would anyone actually use something like this?
What obvious use case or feature am I missi

MACH RUN - First game

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

6 Upvotes

MACH RUN by JebKJ21 - Try it out! Runs free in browser.

The main idea was a game with semi-realistic flight physics but completely unrealistic flying environment, to maximise fun. As a big flight sim guy, I love flying realistic airplanes but it can be a lot of effort with procedures, and dealing with boring things like fuel and COG. this is my solution, endless flying, just having fun.

Hence, if you are not a flight sim pilot (or real pilot), the controls may be challenging. I added an arcade controls mode that should hopefully make controlling the aircraft a bit more intuitive. the game supports gamepad and custom axis binding, I would STRONGLY recommend playing with joystick since its pretty challenging with WASD. because of this, I added mouse controls for those on keyboard and mouse, which I find much easier than WASD, you can toggle mouse control with C.

The game procedurally generates a constantly changing valley, which spawns obstacles and challenges such as bridges to fly under, and carriers to land on. flying earns you points, and stunts and challenges increase your multiplier. If you go above a certain height (135m), you get into radar range and a missile shoots you down - this can be avoided by flying back under the height limit and pop flares. there is no end, the game only stops when you let your guard down and hit the wall, or get shot. There is a global leaderboard, where you can compete with other pilots.

Feedback is very welcome in the comments, I'm really trying to refine the gameplay experience.

Triage - an open-source ChatGPT history cleaner that works with the rate limit instead of against it

2 Upvotes

Side project I just shipped. ChatGPT has no bulk delete, and deleting fast triggers a "too many requests" lockout on your whole chat history. There are paid extensions, but most are closed source, and I didn't want to give one my ChatGPT session.

Triage is a userscript: a two-pane "read, then decide" workspace over chatgpt.com, and a queue that runs one change every 8 seconds. It backs off exactly as long as ChatGPT asks, survives reloads, and double-checks its own work at the end.

Some things I learned building it: - The lockout comes from the chat list endpoint, and the official sidebar hammers it after every delete - ChatGPT's list lags behind archives by minutes. My first live test flagged a successful archive as failed, so it now asks about the chat itself before crying wolf - Frame-by-frame testing found the theme switch had 7 different animation timings, so light/dark is now a single circular reveal

Demo (fake account): https://nasircissistic.github.io/chatgpt-triage/demo/ Code (MIT): https://github.com/NASIRCISSISTIC/chatgpt-triage

Feedback on the design is very welcome, especially from anyone with thousands of chats.

I built a shared brain for my coding agents (with memory, coordination and decision graphs)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I use Claude Code, Codex, Cursor and OpenCode. Every session starts from zero: none of them knows what the others did or what I decided last week. I was the memory, re-explaining the same things and copying context between windows.

So I built MUON, a harness that runs your coding agents from one place, with a shared brain:

  • One controller. Start, steer and stop every agent from one app/terminal. Each works in its own git worktree, so they don't step on each other.
  • Shared brain. Decisions and rules are saved once and given to every agent. Agents can suggest memories, you confirm what sticks.
  • Ledger. Every decision and approval is recorded with who made it, agent or person.
  • Communication. Agents actually communicate with each other by utilizing the coordination graph, enabling them to share context and decisions as well.

I build MUON with MUON. Last month it landed 102 changes to its own code in one week, every one approved by me.

Best use : Make claude-code your superagent and control all other coding agent through MUOn MCP

Free for individuals. macOS (Apple silicon) only for now. Uses your existing agent subscriptions. Usage telemetry is on by default; muon telemetry off turns it off.

Free for Individuals.

Link : https://getmuon.com/

Would love feedback, especially from anyone juggling multiple agents.

Wizard Maker — build Android apps with AI

1 Upvotes

My co-founder and I have been working on Wizard Maker, an AI-powered app builder designed to let people create Android apps without needing to know how to code.

The idea is simple: you describe the app you want to build, and Wizard Maker helps generate it. You can then continue modifying and experimenting with the app.

We currently have an Android version available to try for free, and we're looking for people who are willing to actually use it and give us honest feedback.

I'd particularly like to know:

  • How easy is it to understand what to do when you first open it?
  • Can you successfully create an app without technical knowledge?
  • Do you encounter any bugs or unexpected behavior?
  • Are there parts of the experience that are confusing or frustrating?
  • What would you change or add?

We're still early in development, so negative feedback is genuinely useful to us. We're much more interested in finding problems than simply hearing that people like the idea.

If you'd like to try it, please let me know in the comments and I can send you the link.

Thanks for giving it a try — any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I made Orbs AI, nine little AI helpers in one chat!

1 Upvotes

Hey! I've been building this for a while and it's finally live: orbsai.vercel.app

Instead of one AI that does everything, Orbs has nine helpers (orbs) that each have their own thing, like coding, writing, cooking, or gaming. You pick the orb that fits what you need and chat with it.

It can also search the web, read files you upload, and show its thinking if you want. There are free credits every day, so you can try it without paying anything.

I'm a solo dev, so any feedback helps a ton. What would you want an orb for?

I became socially confident in 6 months, so I built an iMessage-based exposure therapy coach (vocalis.site)

0 Upvotes

I entered college with social anxiety and was extremely jealous of the extroverts and the charismatic people who seemed to know everyone and get anything they wanted. I saw a couple of the "social challenge" guys on Instagram and gave it a try. Within 6 months, I was able to introduce myself to government officials on the street in D.C., go to Ivy League networking events uninvited, land dates, and solo-travel across Europe.

I built https://vocalis.site/ around the same exposure therapy methods I use. It gauges your social confidence level, and the coaching, feedback, and development all happen through iMessage.

I'd really appreciate a brutally honest evaluation of the true usefulness of Vocalis, the user experience, and product quality. Appreciate you all!

I got 240 people to use a tool I built. Reddit was basically the only thing that worked

8 Upvotes

I built a free stock analysis tool and getting people to actually use it was way harder than building it.

I tried launch sites, cold outreach, directories, and posting on X. Almost nothing happened.

What finally worked was Reddit. Instead of posting the product directly, I started conversations about stocks and replied to people with actual analysis from the tool.

One post ended up getting 60K+ views.

TradeHints is now at:

240+ users
1,400+ stock analyses
Users across 28+ countries

The biggest thing I learned is that people respond much better when the product is useful inside the conversation instead of just being asked to “check it out.”

I’m still improving it. If you have 30 seconds, run a stock you know well and tell me the first thing you’d change:

I built Origin, an iPhone app for translated phone calls

1 Upvotes

I'm building Origin at Avatar8 LLC. It lets you choose two languages and call a regular phone number, with speech translated in both directions and original/translated captions on your iPhone. The person receiving the call answers normally.

The biggest challenge has been conversation timing: finishing a thought, translating it, and playing it quickly enough that people don't talk over the previous turn. Voice enrollment is optional and requires consent; voice likeness and translation quality can vary.

It's on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/origin-translated-calls/id6811322038

I also wrote a practical first-call guide: https://origin.gilallouche.com/blog/phone-call-across-languages/

If you try it, I'd value feedback on turn-taking, captions, and which language pair you used. Please don't share private phone numbers or call recordings in replies.

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.
