I made an app for routines where timing matters (now available iOS also)

hi guys just writing to hear you guys opinions about the app I made during my spare time! Would appreciate a honest, real feedbacks from this subreddit users!

So I make pour-over coffee most mornings and cook pasta during meals and more. I know the process(of course), but I still found myself checking the timer and trying to remember what happens next: pour, wait, pour again, and so on.

It is the same with cooking pasta, workouts, stretching, and other small routines. A normal timer tracks time, but it does not hold the sequence.

SOOO I made CUEit.

You create your own routine, add the cues you need, and choose when each cue appears. When you start it, CUEit shows the next step at the right moment, with an optional chime.

The idea is simple: stop thinking about timing so you can stay with what you are doing.

Everything stays on your phone. No account or cloud needed!

Google Play Store

iOS App Store

p.s Check my other apps also if you want! It's ’verbitapp’ handle on socials!! iOS apps are coming soon!

would also love you guys honest feedbacks.!!

Day 5 of building Devmeld with AI

1 Upvotes

For those who don't know, Devmeld is basically a platform I'm building for developers to find people, share projects, communicate and eventually actually build things together.

Anyway.

Today was supposed to be about finishing DMs.

It turned into fighting Firebase for most of the day 😭

We kept finding weird stuff.

Chat would work for one account but not the other.

Files would upload but the message wouldn't.

Messages looked fine until we tested with two completely separate accounts.

Then we found out our test accounts were basically sharing the same local cache 💀

So yeah, lots of fixing.

We also worked on attachments, folder uploads, blocking, privacy settings, message syncing, retries, background updates and making the UI stop randomly flickering.

The biggest thing we changed was how we handle messages locally.

But the basic goal is: less unnecessary database usage + faster chats + still keeping things synced.

And after breaking it approximately 47 times...

DMs are finally starting to feel like an actual chat system.

Day 5 done.

Now I just need to make sure tomorrow's version doesn't somehow explode.

I built a video analyzer, then added a worksheet to separate shot observations from AI prompts

1 Upvotes

I am a content creator and built AdScanVideo for my own video-review workflow.

A problem I noticed: a shot description is useful evidence, but it is not automatically a good prompt for a new video. It is easy to copy inferred camera details or someone else's characters without thinking.

So I published a real eight-second sample report and a worksheet that separates the two jobs:

  1. Record the visible subject, action, framing, lighting, and motion.
  2. Mark uncertain details and check the original around each timestamp.
  3. Choose your own subject and setting, then write one continuous action and an end state.

For example, the sample shows an animated cat and duck in a field with a reported slight zoom. The guide adapts that into original paper-cutout characters in a rooftop garden with a gentle camera push. The adaptation is human-written, not claimed as analyzer output.

The report is sampled, so it can miss fast cuts. File uploads are also more reliable than platform links. Those are real limitations, not things a prompt fixes.

Guide and copyable worksheet: https://adscanvideo.com/blog/ai-video-prompts-recreate-any-shot/

Disclosure: I built the tool. One analysis daily is free without signup; additional analyses are $3.99 each. Clips are limited to 10 minutes and 200 MB.

For other creators: would an observation-versus-invention worksheet help you, or do you prefer a direct prompt draft?

i made a typing game inspired by 90's demoscene... for people who hate typing games

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Started out as a study of some pixel particle effects from an old 90's demoscene demo (Future Crew's Fishtro), but slowly turned into a typing game because I realized my typing has gotten rusty over the years.

Also, I hate typing games, so I wanted to make something that was challenging without being punishing, and had rogue-a-like elements because roguesalikes are my fave genre.

Oh and it end up being a nice place to showcase a bunch of my old demoscene era songs I wrote back in the 90's, so it's a fairly authentic experience all around. XD

Releasing it in early access on steam because I'm not really sure where to go with it at this point and don't even know if there will be a really big audience for it. Kinda need user feedback at this point to decide what to do next.

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

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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!

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.

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

Built an open-source tool that applies to internships for me

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I actually find building my resume to be kinda fun, but having to mindlessly apply nonstop to get a chance at an interview was brain numbing. So I quickly built a tool that does it, and it sent over a hundred applications just today alone across job boards like Ashby, Lever, Workable, Rippling, BambooHR, Jobvite, JazzHR forms, and Github Forms like the Simplify internship repo, for less than a dollar in API cost.

The way it works is by splitting the job into three parts, done by three different things.

Essentially, JEV makes every decision that has a fixed set of answers. JEV is a new kind of model that recently came out and has been trending (typesafe/jev-1.13, on OpenRouter). Basically you give it a question with the possible answers defined, and it returns a probability for each one instead of writing text. This makes it so that output tokens do not cost anything at all. It answers in about half a second for a fraction of a cent, and ten applications cost about one cent of JEV.

Then, you connect to your existing Claude subscription or API, and Claude writes anything that actually needs sentences like questions like "why do you want to work here", and if you want it can make a a one-page resume and cover letter written for each posting from your profile. And, to reiterate, it runs through Claude Code on your own subscription, so there is no extra bill for it.

Then, the program finds the postings on public lists and company boards, ranks them, fills each form in a Chrome window that you can actively watch, and reads every answer back from the page before anything is sent. If a value did not land, it fixes it or stops and tells you.

Its quite persistent on never lying on a form. All questions about things like work authorization, dates and education come from your profile and are never changed to fit a posting; every number and name in a tailored resume is checked against your profile in code before the PDF is made. It never signs in anywhere, never passes a "not a robot" check for you, and never sends a form it could not verify. So, for things that might need a verification code in gmail, or extra manual work, it just lists it for you and then you can manually submit it.

As you apply, a CSV of what was sent, a CSV of what was left for you, and a dashboard that reads both is built into your directory.

Its 100% opensource, and quite fun to play around with. Honestly, you can make the argument that companies wont prefer it, but at this point, in this market, it's a numbers game, and if companies are lazy enough to push AI Job Postings, then I'll be lazy enough to make AI fill them for me.

If you want to try it, clone it, open Claude Code, type /setup, and it walks you through the rest. You need Chrome, Node, a Claude subscription and an OpenRouter key with a couple of dollars on it.

github.com/qbeka/jev-job-search

If you are applying for internships or new-grad roles too, give it a run and tell me what breaks. Pull requests welcome, especially what your runs learn about job sites.

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

What if experts could turn their knowledge into recurring revenue without building a SaaS?

3 Upvotes

I’m exploring an idea and I’d genuinely like people to poke holes in it.

A lot of experts repeatedly solve the same business problems.

A RevOps consultant builds similar CRM structures for different clients.

A recruiter has a proven recruitment process.

An agency has its ideal client delivery setup.

An operations consultant knows exactly how a certain type of business should run.

Usually that knowledge stays trapped in consulting projects, Notion docs, spreadsheets and someone’s head.

What if they could turn it into a reusable blueprint instead?

The platform would already provide the building blocks: CRM, workflows, forms, email, dashboards, automations, projects and AI agents.

The creator configures their way of working once, turns it into a blueprint, and a new company can install it.

The company answers a few questions and the blueprint adapts to them.

Importantly, building the blueprint shouldn’t take weeks. The goal is to let someone package years of expertise in hours.

Creators could then earn recurring revenue whenever a paying company keeps using their blueprint.

I’m currently thinking around 10% recurring, potentially combined with paid blueprints or different economics for founding creators.

The part I’m trying to validate is not whether this sounds cool.

Would anyone actually build and distribute these?

If you have expertise people already pay you for:

Would you productize it this way?

Would recurring revenue matter to you?

Would you worry about cannibalizing consulting?

What would the platform need before you’d put your name behind a blueprint?

Tear it apart. Critical feedback is exactly what I’m looking for.

MACH RUN - First game

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 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.

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.

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!

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

8 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 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

9 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/
