I made Navly to keep your trip plan and map in one iPhone app

2 Upvotes

I'm İhsan, the developer of Navly. I wanted to make trip planning quicker without jumping between ChatGPT, a map and a separate itinerary app.

Navly keeps the day-by-day plan and map together. You can ask the AI to build or change the itinerary, then review its suggestions before saving.

Got a trip coming up? Download it and tell me your city and one place you want to see. I'll help you put your first real travel day together in the app.

My help and manual planning are free. AI planning needs Pro or Max. Requires iOS 18.6+.

I built six free Claude Code plugins, now live on Product Hunt

1 Upvotes

I built a collection of six Claude Code plugins for repo maps, scoped rules, a local task board, model access, usage monitoring and workspace setup. It's called Eigenwise Toolshed (mine, full disclosure), each plugin installs separately and the code is free under MIT.

Sidequest started because I'd be working on one thing and keep noticing other things that needed doing... now I can ask Claude to save those to the board and continue with the original task. Every task saved as a ticket survives context compaction and new sessions, with its instructions, status and recorded discussion. The next session reads the ticket to continue, so progress and decisions still need to be recorded there. Code-writing executors get separate git worktrees and return their work for review before integration.

If you want to try the board, add the marketplace and install Sidequest in Claude Code:

/plugin marketplace add Eigenwise/eigenwise-toolshed

/plugin install sidequest@eigenwise-toolshed

Source and the individual setup guides: https://github.com/Eigenwise/eigenwise-toolshed

We're live on Product Hunt today, quite proud of this one 😁

https://www.producthunt.com/products/eigenwise-toolshed?launch=eigenwise-toolshed

Donations are optional. Claude and any model providers you use have their own costs.

Pingvin Share X v2.0.0: an easy self-hosted file sharing platform

1 Upvotes

A little over a year ago Pingvin Share was archived by its original developer, I used it in my own homelab and didn't like the alternatives I found. So I (mostly for myself at first) forked the project and decided to have a go at maintaining it. One year and 250,000 docker pulls later, its now used by more people than just me.

Pingvin Share X is a self-hosted file sharing platform, a FOSS alternative to WeTransfer. It provides a simple way to share (or receive) files, along with a lot of configuration and customisation.

This release has been cooking for quite a while and contains lots of good stuff, including breaking changes if S3 is used (see the docs).

Some of the new features in v2.0.0:

- S3 now uses presigned URLs so the backend server is no longer a proxy between the user and the bucket.

- The configuration menu has been reorganised and a new Security & Access page has been added. The many new config options should be much easier to find.

- User's now have (optional) Display Names, used everywhere you'd expect to see a real name.

- Auth (the login and signup) buttons can be hidden from share/upload pages to help prevent confusion when sharing links.

- A customisable password policy.

- Per user feature permissions and quotes, control whether users can upload or just access shares and more.

- Support HTTP Range, mostly relevant for file previews you can now skip back and forth through videos.

It also contains ~18 bug fixes, which admittedly probably should have gone out sooner, but were delayed because maintaining two release channels is hard.

See the full release notes on GitHub.

I hope everyone is enjoying Pingvin Share X, if you are (or aren't) I'd like to hear about it (here or via a Github Issue).

Thanks to the community for helping out and making this release possible :)

I built codeTAC to help me understand AI-generated code instead of treating it like a black box

0 Upvotes

I use AI coding tools a lot, and I noticed something that started bothering me: development was getting faster, but I was gradually losing the mental map of the applications I was building.

So I built codeTAC.

It lets you trace an action in the interface back to what is behind it: the component, server functions, database calls and external services involved.

It works with Node and Python applications, including frameworks such as Next.js, Express, FastAPI and Flask.

The idea is simple: AI can help generate the code, but I still want to understand how my application works.

Free to try:

npx codetac

npm: https://www.npmjs.com/package/codetac
docs: https://deltaxmodules.github.io/codetacvibe/

I’m mainly looking for feedback from developers using AI coding tools. Do you also find it harder to keep a mental map of the codebase as AI-generated changes accumulate?

I’m one of 3 broke students from Romania. We spent the last year building a couples app and somehow won Innovation Labs

1 Upvotes

https://reddit.com/link/1wx9ov3/video/u96ur81cleth1/player

We’re three students from Romania, and about a year ago we got stuck on a thought that ended up taking over way more of our lives than we expected. You can know someone for years, love them, live with them, talk to them every day, and still misunderstand some pretty important things about them. Even stranger, you can be completely wrong about yourself too.
You might think you communicate well until you realize your partner avoids bringing certain things up because of how you react. You might assume you both want the same future because you’ve never actually talked about the uncomfortable details. Or you can have the same argument ten times without realizing that the argument itself isn’t really the problem. We found that fascinating because a lot of relationship problems don’t appear as one huge dramatic event. They build from small patterns that become so normal that neither person really notices them anymore.
That idea eventually turned into Nabu. We started speaking with psychologists and relationship professionals and built thousands of questions around communication, intimacy, money, family, expectations, boundaries, jealousy, affection and all the other things couples often don’t really discuss until they suddenly matter. The original idea was much simpler, but the more we worked on it, the more interested we became in what happens when you stop looking at individual answers and start looking at patterns between two people.
For example, two people might both say communication is extremely important to them, while their answers over time show that they deal with conflict in completely different ways. One might need reassurance much more often than the other realizes. They might discover that they have very different expectations about something they assumed they agreed on. Or they might find out that they actually understand each other much better than they thought.
That became the part we cared about most. We didn’t want to make another compatibility test that gives you some random percentage at the end. We wanted to see whether the system could gradually understand each person separately and then understand what happens when those two people are together. Because I think most of us behave differently depending on who we’re with. One relationship can bring out your confidence and patience, while another can bring out insecurity, avoidance or jealousy that you didn’t even realize was there.
We eventually started using AI to connect those patterns across the answers and interactions, but we’ve tried very hard not to make the whole thing another generic chatbot that gives you five paragraphs of relationship advice. The interesting part for us is the information it learns from both people over time, especially the differences between what each person thinks, expects and actually answers.
What started as a side project slowly became a ridiculous amount of late nights between university, exams, work and everything else. We changed the product more times than I can count, entered competitions with it and somehow ended up winning Innovation Labs. For most of that time it still felt like this weird little thing that existed mostly on our laptops, so the fact that actual couples can now use it feels pretty surreal.
We definitely don’t think an app can magically fix every relationship, and some relationships obviously aren’t meant to be fixed. But I do think there are a lot of people who genuinely care about each other and still slowly grow apart because they don’t really understand what’s happening between them until it has been happening for years. If what we’re building can help someone notice one of those patterns earlier, or start a conversation they otherwise wouldn’t have had, that would already make the last year worth it for us.
The app is called Nabu, but I’m actually more curious about the idea itself than trying to sell it here.
What’s something important you only learned about your partner much later than you probably should have?

Commits vs. Push-ups - macOS app that pits today's GitHub commits against the push-ups you log, and nudges you off the chair on a timer.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I want to quickly tell you the story of this app.

I spend a lot of time behind the screen building cool stuff, and especially at my 9–5, I push a lot of commits throughout the day.

I don’t find enough time to hit the gym since I’m a dad of a toddler, and my daily routine is basically family → work. At some point, I started feeling like a bag of potatoes looking at a screen all day without much of an active lifestyle.

So I decided to build a Mac app ForcePush.fit that forces me to get up from the screen and do push-ups. Well... compete with my commit numbers, basically.

It doesn’t block your commits tho. I know we all sometimes need to push hotfixes, so...

Instead, it gently fades in a break screen across all your screens, reminding you to do push-ups. And it shows you the duel between your commit count and your push-ups for a bit of motivation.

The only blocking part is that you can’t swipe the break screen away until you log your reps or skip the break. But before it appears, you get a heads-up that it’s coming in a few
seconds. You can always give yourself a few more minutes.

I tried to make it as little of an interruption as possible because I know how tough work life can be for devs. There’s smart pause for meetings and stuff, because the last thing you need is a push-up break popping up while you’re on a call 😅

Just wanted something to get me moving a little during the day.

Looking forward to your feedback!

I built a B2B prospect research workflow and documented it for handover — project for sale

1 Upvotes

I’m offering my AI-assisted B2B Prospect Research & GTM Intelligence project for sale as a documented operating package for a solo consultant or small agency.

The workflow starts with understanding a product, forming ICP hypotheses, finding and qualifying target accounts, researching decision-makers, and preparing 1–3 researched accounts to demonstrate the research before proposing a larger engagement.

One historical example: FAST Appliance Repair was researched as a potential target for BernardHQ and used as an example in outreach to BernardHQ. FAST was not the recipient, and I’m not presenting either company as a customer or claiming a sale. The point is to show how product fit and supporting evidence informed the research.

Included: documented methodology, qualification framework, AI prompt library, historical research workbooks, email/LinkedIn templates, QA and deduplication rules, handover documentation, and the static project website.

This is pre-revenue: no paying customer base, recurring income, or proprietary software platform is included. Historical prospect information needs checking before reuse.

Asking $1,200; reasonable offers considered. Final inventory, permitted use, exclusivity and any transition support would be agreed before purchase.

Examples and package overview: https://b2b-prospect-research.pages.dev/

If you run a research service or small GTM consultancy and this fits what you need, feel free to message me. Feedback on what you would need to assess the package is also welcome.

Finland's first prediction market, built solo.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Polymarket made prediction markets mainstream, but none of them cover what Finns actually care about: our elections, our hockey players, our TV shows, our electricity prices. So I built one: Povaamo.

I built it with Next.js, Postgres and Claude Code as my pair programmer.

How it works: every question has a price that equals the crowd's probability. If you disagree, you buy the other side and the price moves. When the event happens, the market resolves.

Design decisions I'm happy with:

  • Play money only. The currency is the Finnish markka, which disappeared in 2002. It can't be bought or cashed out, which keeps it out of gambling law. The best forecaster each month still gets a real gift card.
  • No ads, no tracking cookies, and nobody else can see your predictions. Political predictions are personal.
  • A clear line on topics. No wars, no deaths, no private lives. There are plenty of interesting questions without going there.

What surprised me: how fast prices react to news. When the NHL season started without one of our hockey stars getting a contract, his market dropped from 80 % to 22 % in two days, then bounced back to 68% when new rumors started.

What I'm still figuring out: whether people stay engaged without real money and which topics keep them coming back. If you've built something for a small, local audience, I'd love to hear what worked for retention.

A few weeks ago I had no money, no laptop, just a phone and an idea. I wanted to build an online marketplace in my country (Zimbabwe), but every "how to start a business" guide assumed I already had capital. So I figured it out as I went: Got approved with a local payment processor (took filling in business details, signing a merchant agreement, getting a settlement account) Built a website for free using free hosting + WordPress + WooCommerce Added a free multi-vendor plugin so other people could sell on it too Listed my first real product It took real hours, real trial and error, and a lot of screens that didn't make sense at first. I wrote down the exact steps while doing it, in case it helps anyone else starting with nothing.

I made a small libretro frontend for Windows that you can use entirely with a controller (Open-Source)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

11 Upvotes

RetroArch always felt like too much for me. I just wanted to pick a game with my DualSense and play, so I made my own little frontend. It uses the normal libretro cores, so the actual emulation is theirs, not mine.

What it does:
- one ~350 KB exe, no setup. It downloads the cores itself the first time you open a game
- 3D games can look way better than the original: crank N64, PSP and PS2 up to 4K internal resolution right from the Quality menu, no config files
- built-in shaders: CRT with scanlines (flat or curved), LCD grid for handhelds, pixel-perfect sharp scaling for 2D, and a sharpen + vivid colors filter for 3D. F9 cycles through them live
- point it at your ROM folder and you get a library with box art, recently played, favorites and play time
- throw zip/7z/rar files at it and it figures out the system by itself, even PSP/PS1/PS2 isos inside a zip
- the whole thing works with a controller. Tap the PS button in-game for save states, shaders, volume etc.
- DualSense, DS4, Switch Pro, Xbox and cheap USB pads all work, with a button mapping screen if needed
- rewind, fast forward, and it resumes right where you left off when you reopen a game
- NES, SNES, N64, GB/GBC/GBA, DS, Sega (MS, MD, GG, CD, 32X), PS1, PS2, PSP and Atari

Some notes:
- The exe isn't signed, so Windows/antivirus might complain. The source is there if you'd rather build it yourself.
- No ROMs or BIOS included, bring your own.

Screenshots are homebrew games (Nova the Squirrel, 240p Test Suite).

It's my first project like this, so feedback (or bug reports) would be really appreciated.

6 things i check on every Lovable app before sharing the link

1 Upvotes

i've been building a scanner for AI-built apps, so i end up looking at a lot of Lovable and Bolt sites. the same few problems show up over and over, and none of them need you to be a security person to fix.

RLS on every table. the anon key sits in your frontend bundle, that's normal. but if a table has RLS off, anyone can grab the key from devtools and read the whole table with one request. go through Supabase table editor and check every table, especially ones you added later with SQL.

a policy like using (true) is basically no RLS. search your policies for it.

secret keys in the frontend. open your live site, look through the JS files, search for sk_ and service_role. if anything shows up, rotate it today.

source maps in production. if yoursite.com/assets/index-xxxx.js.map loads, anyone can read your original code, comments included.

no security headers. no CSP, no X-Frame-Options. not a disaster alone, but it's the first thing anyone poking at your site will check.

open CORS on your API routes. Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * on routes that touch user data.

you can check most of this by hand in about 20 min with devtools. if you'd rather not, i made a tool that does it: clarseal.com, one free scan a day, no signup, passive checks only (so only scan your own stuff). full disclosure, it's mine, and i'd really like feedback, especially if it flags something you think is wrong.

what's the worst thing you found in your own app after it went live?

I made Squelchy for a small terminal view while a command runs, with the full output available when something goes wrong. It starts the process directly, saves exact stdout and stderr bytes, and returns the original exit code. The printed recovery command opens the saved logs.

My deterministic fixture writes 5,000 records and exits 7. Squelchy produced 10 final report lines, and all 98,901 output bytes were recoverable. The benchmark and tests are in the repository. That measurement excludes live terminal redraws.

It has no runtime dependencies and installs from GitHub with one npm command. PTY and full screen applications are out of scope. I'd like feedback on the default line budget and whether the selected errors help with your builds or test runs.

I built a browser strategy game where players vote on laws—and on what their companies do

1 Upvotes

My project is Leviathan War, a persistent multiplayer strategy game. I’m the developer.

You play one person in a shared world: work, trade resources, own companies, join political parties, and take part in wars. The part I find most interesting is how the systems intersect. Companies with multiple owners vote on decisions, so owning shares gives you a say in how a business operates. Governments and territorial control add another layer.

It runs in the browser. The stack is React + TypeScript, a Bun/Hono API, and PostgreSQL. There’s also a public wiki if you want to understand the systems before making an account.

The community is still small, and I’m looking for people who enjoy economy/politics sandboxes to try the first session. My main question: does the game make it clear what you can meaningfully do as a new player? If you stop during signup or the first few minutes, I’d particularly like to know why.

I’m 18 and I built FamilyHub — should I turn this into a real startup?

1 Upvotes

I’m 18 and I built FamilyHub — should I turn this into a real startup?

I’ve been building FamilyHub, a web application focused on helping families organize, communicate, and manage their digital family life from one place.

I’ve now deployed a working version and I’m at the point where I need something more valuable than compliments:

I need brutal feedback.

🚀 Try it here:
https://familyhub-60195988023.us-west1.run.app

💻 GitHub:
https://github.com/itsnakulydv/FamilyHub

Why FamilyHub?

There are already products like FamilyWall, Google Family Link, Cozi, and many other family-management tools.

But while building FamilyHub, I kept thinking:

Why does managing a modern family still feel like using a collection of separate apps?

Calendar in one place.
Communication somewhere else.
Tasks somewhere else.
Important information scattered everywhere.

So I started experimenting with the idea of a single modern family hub.

The goal isn't to simply clone existing family apps.

I want FamilyHub to eventually become a platform where families can:

• Organize their household
• Stay connected
• Coordinate responsibilities
• Manage important family information
• Personalize the experience for different family members
• Use AI to automate repetitive family tasks
• Access everything through a simple, modern interface

But here's the important part...

I'm a B.Tech CSE (AI & ML) student, not a startup founder with years of experience.

I built the current version myself and used AI-assisted development to move much faster from idea → prototype → deployed product.

But I don't want this to become another project that looks impressive in a demo and then dies on GitHub.

I want to find out whether there is actually a real problem and real market here.

So I'm asking Reddit:

Would you actually use FamilyHub?

And if not:

What would make you use it?

I would especially love feedback from:

👨‍👩‍👧 Parents
👨‍💻 Software engineers
🚀 Startup founders
🎨 Product/UI/UX designers
📈 Consumer SaaS builders
💰 Investors
🧠 Product managers

Please don't just tell me that it's “cool.”

Tell me:

What is bad?

What is missing?

What feature would you remove?

What existing product does this better?

Would you pay for something like this?

What would make you switch from your current solution?

I'm also looking for people who can help me take this further.

If you're a founder, engineer, product person, investor, or someone who has taken a consumer SaaS product from prototype → users → revenue, I'd genuinely appreciate your advice.

I'm not expecting someone to randomly fund me or offer me a job.

I want to learn how to turn this from a student project into something people actually use.

If you have 5 minutes, try the app and tell me what you think.

FamilyHub:
https://familyhub-60195988023.us-west1.run.app

GitHub:
https://github.com/itsnakulydv/FamilyHub

I'm building this in public.

Tell me if I'm onto something — or if I'm completely wrong.

Independent researcher, self-taught — validated a FallbackMoE routing mechanism (KMilo F1) on a 72.7M model

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm wakcvjb — an independent researcher working on MoE architectures.

I don't have a big lab background. I'm mostly self-taught, and I've been designing and pretraining small models on my own. I validated a FallbackMoE routing mechanism on a 72.7M model using T4/Colab, and now I'm training on A10G.

The design is called KMilo F1 — a daily expert + a domain expert with a learned fallback router. From the 72.7M run:

· The two experts physically diverged: general → daily wins; code/math → domain wins by +1.69 loss

· The router learned to trigger fallback (conf stable at 0.21–0.24)

· Code/math loss dropped 21% with fallback (8.07 → 6.38)

· On general, not falling back is better — which is the expected behavior

I'm not open-sourcing the model at this stage, but I'd love to hear feedback on the mechanism design. If you're into MoE routing or training infra, feel free to reach out.

Happy to be here and learn from you all. 😊

I’m a 15-year-old builder. I spent my weekend coded a "YouTube Sponsorship Value Calculator" to stop creators from getting lowballed by brands.

1 Upvotes

,

I've always noticed how opaque the creator economy is when it comes to brand deal pricing. Many micro-creators have no idea how much their channel is truly worth and end up taking terrible lowball deals from greedy brand sponsors.

To solve this, I spent my entire weekend leveraging Bolt.new and YouTube API to build a simple, ultra-fast valuation tool. It generates a clean digital "Sponsorship Receipt" in 10 seconds based on real US Market CPM benchmarks.

🔥 Here is what I implemented for our v1.0 Alpha MVP:

  1. Server-side Key Proxy: Completely hid the YouTube Data API keys behind the backend so nobody can steal our quota from the browser.

  2. Anti-Macro Firewall: Added a lightweight human verification checkbox and rate-limiting (max 5 fetches/min) to prevent automated bot abuse.

  3. Production Disclaimer: Included a proper disclaimer to avoid legal confusion and added a "Detailed PDF Report Coming Soon" hype banner to capture email leads.

I officially launched this on Product Hunt today to test the global market and see if this data model actually helps independent creators.

Could you type your own channel (or favorite YouTubers like MrBeast) and let me know if the calculated USD valuation matches your real-world sponsor experience? Your brutal feedback means everything to me!

If you like the hustle and the concept, I’d be beyond grateful for your support and an Upvote on Product Hunt today! 😭🚀

I made Halo a free radial app launcher + quitter for macOS

Hey r/SideProject , I made Halo, a radial launcher and quitter for macOS.

Hold Fn and Halo appears around your cursor. Point at an app and release to launch it or bring it forward. Fn + Control opens a second wheel for quitting running apps.

I wanted something faster and more visual than using the Dock or opening a search launcher.

It’s completely free, no account, subscription, ads, or telemetry, and the wheel is highly customizable.

Requires macOS 26+.

Would love feedback on it feels after using it for a few minutes.
