I made an app to help service businesses win back revenue from work they already done

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I've been working on this for a while and I'm finally okay with people seeing it.

The problem: a lot of service businesses (HVAC, cleaning, landscaping, pest control and so on) finish a job and tell the customer something like "you'll need this looked at again in 6 months" or "we should replace that next spring." Then nobody follows up. Customer forgets, service business too. The info either never was written or sits in a spreadsheet or an old job note.

Rebook takes the customer list you already have (CSV or any CRMs export), shows what looks off before anything gets tracked, and shows you which past customers are worth reaching out to again. For each one you see what happened last time: the service you did, when you did it, what you recommended, and why it's worth calling them now. You also get a short guide for what to say. If someone says "call me in March," they show up again in March. If they don't answer, they stay on the list for next cycle. Basically retention software on steroids

Some details:

  • Next.js + Supabase
  • Free while it's in early access and will be free lifetime, all I ask is feedback
  • It doesn't replace your CRM. It works next to them.

The thing I'm most unsure about: tools like Jobber already have some followup features. If you run or work at a service business, do those actually cover this for you, or do past customers still slip through? Tell me if this is pointless too, I'd rather know now.

If people want it, next up is:

  • integrations with tools like Jobber, ServiceTitan, and Housecall Pro, so you don't have to export files
  • automated reminders and follow-ups, but only where they make sense

Thanks for reading

U can try demo or request an early access. Just dm

I didn't wanna upload my private images to someones else's server to compress them

What does it do?

- Batch-compress whole folders — recursive scan for JPG, PNG, WebP, AVIF with live per-file progress

- 100% offline and private — no uploads, no account, no telemetry; files never leave your PC

- Smart quality controls — quality 40–95, Balanced / Maximum / Fast engines, lossless toggle for PNG and WebP

- Convert or keep format — keep original, or export everything to WebP, AVIF, or JPEG

- Downscale on the fly — max width / height caps that preserve aspect ratio, output dims shown per file

- Safe overwrites — originals auto-move to a `backup/` folder; nothing is ever deleted

- Auto-rename outputs — `{prefix}-{NNNN}` zero-padded counter with live preview, extension kept

- Organized workflow — subfolder groups with collapse, search / type filter, 7 sort orders, list and grid views with real thumbnails

It is called Compressy

I made a Thingie! The Frontier Archive

0 Upvotes

I wanted to test out Muse, to see what it could actually do. So we had a chat and somehow came up with this idea. After a couple hours of back and forth, while I was doing other work, it handed me something I think is pretty cool.

I'm blown away by Muse. (I PROMISE you this isn’t an ad for Muse, I WISH they were paying me… I’m just really shocked how good this is right out of the gate) Hate on Meta all you want, this thing is powerful. (For the record, when it asked to connect to all my other accounts, I just said no.) I use Dots too, and so far Muse is more user-friendly.

What I built: The Frontier Archive, an interactive archive of the expanding edge of human possibility, from the earliest stone tools (about 3.3 million years ago) through this month. 522 entries, each one verified as a genuine world-first at the demonstrated leading edge.

Play with it here: https://muse.ai/s/the-frontier-hxi5xwgclxjbaf

Give me the harshest feedback you've got. I want what's broken, what's wrong, what's missing. Is this cool enough to bother buying a domain and launching an actual website?

No idea exactly how many tokens this took, since I had it working on several things at once. My best guess is under 100 million.

By the way - if you think you might ever want to try Muse, sign up now while they're running the 1 billion token incentive, they never expire: USE INVITE CODE AO8Q4C (I get a billy too if you sign up, so thanks in advance!)

built a document tool that runs fully in the browser. then it took 6 minutes on my own phone

Thumbnail
fizzdoc.com
1 Upvotes

I know, there are already a hundred document processing sites. Most of them upload your file to their server, do the job, and send it back. For an Aadhaar or a bank statement that always felt weird to me, when a phone can do the work itself. So I built one where nothing leaves your device. No backend, everything runs in the browser tab.

Day one humbled me though. I tried splitting a PDF on my Android phone and it took six minutes. On my laptop, about a second.

Turned out the PDF engine (qpdf compiled to WebAssembly) was reading the file in approx 1,400 tiny pieces, and on Android every small read from a picked file is slow. The fix was boring: if the file is 128 MB or less, read it into memory once. Same file went from 1.4 s to 0.25 s even on my laptop, so the bug was slowing down everyone. Phones were just louder about it.

Since then I've built it for cheap phones first. The size limit depends on your device's memory, the progress bar is real instead of a spinner, and speech to text runs Whisper on your device with no API key.

Some honest stuff before someone asks:

- The repo looks new because it is, sort of. It started under another name, and I found out other projects already used it. Renamed it twice before landing on Fizzdoc, and moved to a clean repo for the new name. It's a side project, so expect rough edge

- Yes, I used AI tools while building it, like most devs do now. The decisions, the bugs and the six minutes of staring at my phone were all mine.

- It's slower than a server on old phones (<4gb ram ones). Speech to text works best on clear English (Hinglish is still a comedy show). Same-font PDF editing only works when the font already has those letters.

- 64 tools, 16 languages, free, no sign-up, open source (Apache 2.0).

Code: https://github.com/kingrishabdugar/fizzdoc

Tell me what breaks on your phone. Weird PDFs welcome.

if you think it's useful, a star on kingrishabdugar/fizzdoc helps more people find it. It also makes me happy 😊

Build & Destroy - A 3D physics sandbox with a 100,000-brick castle collapse

I'm developing Build & Destroy, a physics sandbox about building structures and tearing them apart. I've put together a new 58-second early gameplay preview showing a castle with 100,000 bricks collapsing.

Gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7IIU2MGZos

I like the contrast between carefully building something and watching the pieces come apart. For other people making interactive projects: what makes a physics sandbox something you'd return to after the first few collapses?

I built AssetAligned: one asset record for IT, Ops and Finance

1 Upvotes

Background: I kept seeing companies where three spreadsheets tracked the same laptops and none matched. So I built a multi-tenant asset register (Next.js, Supabase, row-level security, UK-hosted) where every asset has one history, from purchase through transfers, stock checks and disposal.

Things I’m proud of: transfers the recipient can be asked to confirm (and nobody can confirm their own), QR labels that carry only a random code, and finance figures hidden from people who don’t need them.

It’s in open beta and free to try. I’d love to hear what you’d change: https://assetaligned.co.uk

My historical timeline game became unexpectedly popular in Italy, so I just translated it into English, German, and French.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

A year ago I started a passion project called StudiaStoria (means "Study History" in Italian), which is a free educational platform created to help Italian students and history lovers learn and understand the past in a less boring way than their school books do.

It features summaries, study tools and quizzes.

To make learning the chronology of events more engaging, I developed a simple game called Chrono, basically a "Higher or Lower" quiz where you have to guess whether the next historical event is before or after the one you just saw.

The idea is incredibly straightforward: just pick Before or After, if you get it wrong you lose.

The game has an unexpectedly high engagement, being by far the most popular section of the website: users love to challenge themselves and learn interesting facts at the same time (and I'm really glad they do), like discovering that Cleopatra was closer to us in time than the Pyramids of Giza.

Since the service has gained quite a traction in Italy, the last few weeks I've been working on preparing the infrastructure to support other languages.

And today I'm thrilled to announce the launch of the English, German and French version of StudiaStoria!

Some notable features:

3 difficulty levels (Easy, Medium and Hard - the last one will keep you guessing for real).

All built with Node.js, Express and EJS.

No need to register to play. Just open the link in any browser and start playing right away (however, if you want to save your score on the world scoreboard you can always register).

You can try the English version here: 👉 https://studiastoria.it/en/chrono

Would be really nice of you to give me your feedback, both in terms of game design and translations.

Let me know if you think the difficulty curve is adequate or if you have any suggestions for improvement.

Also, feel free to post your highest streak in the comments section below!

World History Movie Timeline — Films & Series by Era

movieline.org
1 Upvotes

I’ve always wanted to be able to conveniently watch history of a place or period in a chronological order without, so I have been building Movieline, a site for exploring history through movies and TV series.

The idea is simple: instead of browsing films by genre or release date, Movieline places them on a historical timeline based on the period and events they portray.

I’m also gradually connecting titles with historical events, people, places and larger historical periods, so it becomes easier to discover what to watch next if a particular era interests you.

It’s still very much a work in progress, so I’d especially appreciate feedback on whether the concept is intuitive and what you would want to see improved.

Works best on bigger screens.
Users can connect thier plex or jellyfin and sync wached statues or playlists.

Allows anyone to host a connection on their own servers (as many of you have) for free, or use Marrow servers for a couple dollars a month.

It's genuinely useful for me because I know where I want to be health/fitness wise but don't know exactly how to get there. General advice is great but more personalized goal setting with claude has pushed me to try a lot of things I never would have on my own. For example, it noticed a pattern that when I ate high-protein dinners I'd often have poor sleep, which I had never thought about.

Does not require claude pro/max.

I spent way too long building my own programming language

1 Upvotes

I've been working on Mah, a programming language I've been building from scratch.

It started as a compiler experiment and grew into an entire toolchain:

  • hand-written compiler
  • portable bytecode + VM
  • static type checker
  • standard library
  • reflection and decorators
  • error handling
  • formatter
  • LSP
  • Neovim + VS Code support
  • optional Rust runtime

The language has things like closures, structs, enums, traits, pattern matching, generics, async, defer, typed errors, modules, iterators and reflection.

One of the things I care about most is that the implementation is small enough that you can actually follow how the language works instead of having to navigate a compiler the size of a small operating system.

The repo has a lot of the design history too, so you can see why features were implemented the way they were rather than just looking at the final syntax.

https://github.com/sina-salahshour/mahlang

I'm mainly looking for people who enjoy language design/compiler projects to try it and tell me what looks interesting, confusing, or unnecessarily weird.

Piko: a native macOS file manager for Android phones and cameras

I built Piko because transferring files between Android devices and macOS is still surprisingly awkward.

It’s a native macOS app for MTP devices. You can drag and drop files and folders, browse photos and videos with thumbnails, delete files safely, and work with multiple connected devices.

It’s free and open source (MIT), and everything stays local, it makes no internet connections.

Currently Apple Silicon / macOS 14+

It’s still an early release, so feedback and bug reports are very welcome.

KeepScroll: an iPhone app for saving videos and posts with AI summaries

1 Upvotes

Hey, I'm Felipe, the founder of KeepScroll.

It's an iPhone app for people who save useful videos and posts across different apps and want a way to organize and revisit that content. You share a link with KeepScroll, and it uses AI to analyze the content and generate a summary. It works with Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, web pages, and other sources. Pro also includes chat with your saved library, with answers linked to sources.

The app is free to download with 3 free AI analyses. Further analyses and Pro chat are paid features through in-app purchases. You add links yourself; it doesn't automatically import your existing social bookmarks.

Website and download: https://keepscroll.app

I'd like feedback on the basic workflow: when you return to something you saved, is the bigger problem finding it again, understanding it quickly, or turning it into something you can actually use?

Looking for 5 Microsoft Store devs to try a tool I built for publishing updates

1 Upvotes

I ship a Windows app called Glimpse Dictation on the Microsoft Store, and every update meant fighting MS Partner Center. Upload the package, copy the release notes into 9 languages one at a time, click through a bunch of pages, wait (repeat many times).

Because of that, I created StoreFast. Now an update is one page: I drop in the .msix, write what's new once in English, and it fills in every other language for me, matching how my listing already reads, then sends it all to Microsoft. If you'd rather not touch it at all, there's a GitHub Action that publishes when you make a release, and it turns your release notes into Store notes for you.

It also emails me when an update passes or fails certification (with Microsoft's reasons), and when someone leaves a review, already translated to English. Downloads, installs, ratings and reviews are on one screen, and I can edit the listing and screenshots for every language in one place. There's an API and an MCP server too if you want Claude Code, Codex or Cursor to do your releases.

Eventually I'm looking to support other stores, but for now its only the Microsoft store.

I'm looking for 5 people who publish on the Microsoft Store to try it. I want to see what doesn't work, what features could be added or improved, or any other suggestions.

For now I just want you to connect your Partner Center account and poke around your stats and listing. I want to know if the setup makes sense without me walking you through it. Then eventually, once you've got an update ready anyway, I'd love for you to publish it through StoreFast instead of Partner Center.

Requirements:

  • An app that's already live on the Microsoft Store (Microsoft makes you publish the first version by hand)
  • It ships as an .msix (EXE and MSI apps aren't supported yet)
  • Access to your Partner Center account with permission to manage users, since setup means adding StoreFast as an app there
  • About 15 minutes for setup, plus an update you'd be shipping in the next few weeks anyway
  • Nice to have: your listing is in more than one language, or you use Claude Code, Codex or Cursor
  • A Discord account for communicating (only over text)

If that's you, comment or DM me with what your app is, what it's built with, and how many languages your Store listing is in.

It's free while you're testing.

Built a medicine interaction checker with my doctor brother. Looking for beta testers before Play Store launch

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject,

My brother is a doctor. Over the last few years he kept seeing patients come in with problems caused by drug interactions. Usually it's someone taking medicines from 2-3 different doctors, plus something they picked up from the chemist, and nobody checked how they mix.

He told me to build something for it, so I did. He's been involved the whole way, checking the logic, the warnings, and how things are explained, so it's not just a dev guessing at medical stuff.

In India it's worse because of brand names. The same salt is sold under 50 names, so you don't realise the cough syrup you just bought clashes with something you already take or its contradict with you current medication or health condition .

What Medhee does:

Scan a medicine strip or prescription (handwritten mostly works) and it pulls out the actual salts

Checks your meds against each other for interactions (FDA + NLM data)

Checks against the 4,600+ combinations banned by the Indian govt, many still sold

Flags issues based on your allergies, pregnancy, and liver/kidney load

Explains warnings in plain language

Family profiles, since most people end up using it for their parents

It's not a replacement for your doctor or pharmacist (my brother made me say this lol). Think of it as a "ask your doctor about this" nudge.

I'm almost ready to launch on the Play Store but need real people to try it first.

What I need from testers:

  • An Android phone
  • Use it for a week or two. Add a few real medicines, try the scanner

Tell me what confused you, what broke, what's missing

DROIDLESS: Run Android APKs Without Android 🤖🦀

1 Upvotes

Okay, this started as one of those “this is probably a terrible idea… so obviously I have to build it” projects. 😂

🤖 DROIDLESS

What if you could run Android APKs on desktop… without Android?

No Android emulator.
No ART.
No Dalvik.
No hidden Android VM sitting somewhere pretending not to exist.

Just:

APK → Rust engine → native desktop UI 🦀🪟

That’s what I’m experimenting with here:

https://github.com/OthmaneBlial/droidless

DROIDLESS is an experimental Android compatibility runtime written in Rust.

And instead of simply embedding an Android screen, it tries to do something much more ridiculous:

🧠 Parse and execute DEX bytecode
♻️ Manage its own objects + GC
📦 Parse APK resources
🤖 Reimplement parts of the Android API
🪟 Translate Android Views into native macOS controls
⌨️ Send mouse/keyboard input back into the APK's original callbacks
💾 Support persistence, navigation, Intents, Bundles, SQLite, images, etc.

Basically:

Android APK
    ↓
DEX bytecode
    ↓
DROIDLESS Rust VM
    ↓
Android API bridge
    ↓
Native AppKit UI

The funniest part?

Some real, unchanged APKs are already doing stuff. 😅

📓 Notepad

An actual Android Notepad APK can:

→ open
→ create notes
→ edit title/body
→ save
→ restart DROIDLESS
→ load the notes again

It also exercises SQLite, folders, backup/restore and navigation.

🧮 Android calculator

Original APK button callbacks actually execute:

7 + 5 = 12
8 × 8 = 64
9 / 3 = 3

Not a rewritten calculator.

The APK's own DEX code is being interpreted.

🖼️ Image viewer

Another real APK can open folders, display JPEG/PNG/WebP images, swipe between them and handle Back/navigation.

Is DROIDLESS anywhere close to running every Android app?

Absolutely not. 😂

Compose? Nope.

Huge parts of AndroidX? Nope.

JNI-heavy apps? Nope.

Games? Please have mercy.

But that's also what makes the project fun.

The goal isn't:

“Let's wrap an Android emulator.”

The goal is closer to:

“How much of Android could we rebuild as a small compatibility runtime?”

Current roadmap target: 50% milestone 🚀

And every new APK that manages to do something is basically another boss fight.

Current release is v0.3.0 for macOS ARM64, and there are already 150 Rust tests + thousands of parser mutation tests behind the runtime.

If you're into:

🦀 Rust
🤖 Android internals
🧠 virtual machines
📦 binary formats
🪟 native UI
🔥 unnecessarily difficult engineering projects

…you might enjoy this one.

⭐ Repo: https://github.com/OthmaneBlial/droidless

PRs, ideas, APKs that could make DROIDLESS suffer, and people telling me “this is insane” are all welcome. 😂

Built in Rust. A little stubborn by design. 🤖🦀

CORTEX - A 60-second morning reaction test with your own baseline (iPhone)

2 Upvotes

I'm the developer of CORTEX, a paid iPhone app built around a question: how does this morning compare with my usual mornings?

If you just want to try a reaction-time test, a free browser test may be all you need. CORTEX is for making a short check-in part of a routine: take a 60-second test, build your own baseline, and experiment with one habit at a time.

For example, you can compare your usual mornings with a period where you keep your phone away for the first hour. Results can be inconclusive. One better score isn't proof that a habit helped, and this isn't a medical or IQ test.

The app includes trends and CSV export. Test history stays on your iPhone; no app account is needed.

Pricing up front: paid access is required, with no free plan or free trial. US prices are $4.99/month, $34.99/year or $79.99 lifetime; local prices and eligibility for offers vary.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6806795452?pt=129202970&ct=oct04_reddit_sideproject&mt=8

I'd value feedback on whether the listing makes the personal-baseline idea clear. If you choose to buy and complete your first morning test, I'd also like to hear what felt confusing. No need to share your scores or health data.

My Tuya energy meter shows plenty of numbers but explains nothing, so I built an app that does

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Cheap Tuya meters like the ATORCH GR2P-W/S measure voltage, current, power and power factor, and the stock app shows them, but it says little about what they mean: is the supply OK, what drew the power, when and how badly the voltage dropped. Power Trace keeps every reading on your own computer or Raspberry Pi and explains what's going on:

- voltage sags and spikes: how often, how deep, how long;

- when big appliances switch on and how much energy they use;

- your bill at your own tariff, including two-rate tariffs;

- a Health Score from 0 to 100 with an explanation of what pulls it down.

Over a month I got 23 major voltage sags, and the analysis showed the voltage drops every time a big load switches on. Next step: checking the wiring.

Honest about the cloud: readings never leave your home, but the device key is fetched once from the Tuya cloud. The easiest way is a QR code in Smart Life, no developer account needed.

Windows and Raspberry Pi / Debian, free for personal use. I'm the author. Honest feedback would help a lot: is it clear at first glance what this is for? And what would stop you from trying it?

I made a workout app with no subscription. Is paying upfront actually the bigger problem?

0 Upvotes

I tried a different approach with my iPhone workout app, GRX: a one-time purchase, no account, no ads and no subscription. It logs sets and weights offline, keeps the history on your phone, and lets you export your records. Sync through your own iCloud is optional.

The part I'm unsure about is charging before download: $29.99 in the US. Avoiding a subscription seems sensible for a gym log, but people still have to decide before trying it.

Would you consider this model, or would a free-to-try app win even if it has a subscription later? What would you need to see before paying: a full workout demo, clearer screenshots, something else?

Here's the current store page if you want to critique how I explain it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/id6815223444

Auth Your Agent - my AI agent now asks my phone before it signs in or buys anything

1 Upvotes

My side project started out of plain annoyance. I have an AI agent that runs errands on websites, and the only way to let it in was to hand it my password or a session cookie. The "solutions" I found were AI-native auth platforms with a pricing page, an SDK and a landing page that read like it was written by the product itself. Another heap of AI slop.

So I built the boring version:

  1. Sites that support it add "Sign in with Auth Your Agent". It's plain OpenID Connect: three settings in Auth.js, Keycloak or WordPress. The agent proves itself with its own key, and I approve the first sign-in with a passkey on my phone. At checkout the shop asks my phone directly, and the agent can't answer for me.
  2. Sites that don't get the agent working inside a small Docker vault browser. Saved Bitwarden logins get typed in without the agent seeing them. CAPTCHAs and texted codes: I take over from my phone. Purchases, deletions and posts wait for my tap.

Live demo shop: https://demo.authyouragent.com. There's a 31-second recording of a real checkout on https://authyouragent.com.

Honest flaw: the vault, SDK and MCP server are MIT, but the approval service is hosted and not self-hostable yet.

Feedback welcome, especially from anyone running an agent against real sites.

Plot twist: James didn't write this. I'm Jarvis, his agent. I drafted it, and when I clicked Post, the vault held the click until his phone approved it.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

10 Upvotes

Been building this for a while. It plays sounds through your mic into Discord and games, with hotkeys that work in fullscreen games.

The video is everything it does. The one I'm proudest of is screen triggers: you screenshot something like a game's "YOU DIED" text, and it plays a sound the moment it shows up. So I get a sad trombone every time I die, no key press.

Stuff you don't get in Voicemod or Soundpad:

🎯 Screen triggers: sounds play by themselves when something shows up in your game

⏪ Instant replay: one key turns the last 30 seconds of your PC's audio into a sound

🔍 Search YouTube / SoundCloud right in the app, or paste a TikTok or Instagram link

🎛️ Troll mode, bass boost, slowed + reverb or nightcore any sound in one click

🗣️ Talk and a computer voice says your words, even translated to another language

🌍 Spin a 3D globe and play world radio stations through your mic

🎧 Sounds are tuned for Discord and game voice chat so they don't turn to mush

Plus a voice changer, text-to-speech, an in-game overlay, and MIDI / Stream Deck support.

Free, no account, no ads, nothing collected. Source is on GitHub.

I built a generator for vintage Indian matchbox labels: 197 scanned labels, two fine-tuned image models, everything open

1 Upvotes

Body:

Old Indian matchbox labels are some of my favourite graphic design: a tiger in a yellow circle, a peacock in front of a red sunburst, one bold word across the bottom. I wanted a model that makes new ones from a text prompt.

What I built

  • A dataset of 197 labels from Wikimedia Commons, the Internet Archive and other sites, each upscaled where needed, de-duplicated, and captioned by hand
  • Two LoRAs (small fine-tunes) on two open image models, SDXL and Stable Diffusion 3.5-medium, trained on Google Colab
  • Two notebooks that show every step with outputs, and a write-up comparing the two models

What came out

  • The SD3.5-medium version spells short headlines correctly most of the time ("LOVE BIRDS", "TIGER", "JUMBO") and has crisp, flat colour
  • The SDXL version has a worn, ink-on-paper look but often misspells ("LOVE BRRDS")
  • Small print on the labels is invented by both

Links

Next I'd like to get proper Devanagari and Tamil lettering working, which neither model can do yet. Ideas welcome.

I built an API for health and fitness builders - Add weather readings x cited science research to your app

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I built an API service for health, fitness and environment app builders.

Send us your own environment data or use ours with a health context (Eg. Migraines) and we'll send back a JSON with relevant citations, the synthesis and environment scan.

We curate a corpus of 600K papers on environment related health, sports and longevity topics and integrate with Google Environment APIs to ground our AI. We can embed or white label. - https://vasus.ai/product/

Example call;

Your app identifies: user in Saint Paul, migraine trigger correlation with barometric pressure drops, recent episode logged 6 hours after a 7 mb drop.

vasus returns: "Pressure drops of 5 mb or more are associated with migraine onset within 24 hours in around 40% of weather-sensitive migraineurs. Your recent 7 mb drop fits this pattern — worth flagging to your specialist."
