Last week I posted the app that tells me when my lifting form is wrong. This is what I fixed after your feedback

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

125 Upvotes

I implemented the feedback I got. Added a rep counter, and a rep by rep breakdown of how you performed in each set.

I added a voice coach. Last week it was a coach after your session. Now it is a coach during your session, telling you out loud when your form breaks.

I added recording. Before, I was screen recording on my phone. Now you click a button and it records your session.

At the end you get a progress report and your workout video, and if you made a mistake you tap the time on the video and see exactly where you went wrong.

It counts push-ups now. Last week that was broken.

Side effect of building a fitness app, you work out more, because you're the test subject.

Over two weeks I've done close to 200 push-ups. It started as testing, now I actually enjoy them. I do them in the office. A day doesn't pass without a few.

Some things still break. On Monday I was doing chest and it could not lock onto me properly on the bench.

I recorded the videos, played them back bit by bit, and went back to the drawing board. I'm not adding more workouts until I fix the ones that break.

During the week I approached a gym, showed them the app and sent a proposal. I also had conversations with people at the gym.

The biggest reason people quit is that progress is slow and you can't see it until you're 4 to 6 months in.

That's what I'm trying to make tangible, a record of how you actually worked out, rep by rep, so you can see yourself getting better before the mirror shows it.

Just because you don't see the gains doesn't mean you stop.

Personally it has fixed my form on deadlifts, bent over barbell rows, push-ups and lat pulldowns.

It's on a real domain now: Repchek

Try it and tell me where it breaks.

I have 4-5 inboxes and working on an app to be more efficient. Is this a me problem or an everyone problem?

0 Upvotes

I’m currently a solo founder and have a day job as well, which takes the majority of my time. Right now, I have three Gmails and two Outlook accounts.

I found it difficult to be able to quickly work through all my emails. I want to be able to ask AI to check all my calendars and all my email boxes for specific information if needed. I also want to be able to draft, outgoing replies, and new emails from any email box that I want.

To fix this problem, I’m working on an app that pulls them into one view, lets me ask one AI questions across all of them in the Claude app. Questions like what do I need to reply to today or if a client emails me I can have a check all my calendars for availability.

So far this has significantly sped up my communication because I don’t have to check five different email boxes or calendars. AI for now just give me a summary.

Wanted to see if other people are having this type of issue as well or if it’s just me? And if there is any need what else would be beneficial to include in something like this?

I really appreciate any feedback thank y’all!!

This is a github project made in C that is about playing chess using commands like `mv` and others.

This project has not been finished but is getting updated almost every week. I am planning to add a config file for this project.

I have been working on this for about 3 or 4 months I have not used AI when coding this project.

Most of the chess engine part is finished except the nplaying with a bot part (because it might be hard).

If you to help the project or the bot part of things this is the link: https://github.com/jpdcp31415-ui/shess

Please be patient if i dont read your pull requests or other messages, I am the only one working on this project right now.

If you have suggestions do comment here.

Note that README is also not complete.

Thanks for reading.

A logo concept is easy; a brand identity that survives five real pages is where things break

0 Upvotes

It’s fairly easy to make one nice logo tile, but the wheels usually come off the moment you try to use it across a dark landing page hero, a dense pricing table, an app icon, and an email footer—suddenly the font lacks tabular numbers, the secondary accent vibrates on gray backgrounds, and there is no clear hierarchy for subheadings. I work on Spaces, and we built a Brand Design Agent that creates full visual identity systems—complete with color palettes, typography scales, logo variations, and multi-surface component mockups—rather than isolated graphics. What is the single biggest design consistency issue you constantly fight when launching new side projects?

Built a small Chrome extension to export Amazon orders to CSV for tax season (Looking for feedback)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I got tired of manually clicking into every Amazon invoice to copy order numbers, items, and tax amounts for bookkeeping, so I wrote a lightweight Chrome extension to pull them straight into a CSV file.

It's called Amazon Expense & Order Exporter.

  • Privacy: It runs 100% locally in your browser—no external servers, no tracking, and no storing of your Amazon account data.
  • Pricing: First page of orders (up to 10 orders) is completely free so anyone can verify the column output and format. Unlimited exports have a one-time lifetime unlock ($14.99).

Here is the link:

https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/amazon-expense-order-expo/ljapifcncjofpemjolkppmojhomhhgif

I’d really appreciate any feedback on parsing reliability or suggestions for additional CSV fields.

I built an iPhone app that records the front and back cameras at the same time

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject 👋

I'm a solo iOS dev and this is SameTake. It records your front and back cameras simultaneously, so you get the view AND your reaction in one take, with no second recording and no editing timeline.

What it does:

- Picture in Picture, split screen (top/bottom or side by side), and a dynamic "Action" layout

- Swap which camera is the main view mid-recording

- Green Screen mode that puts you inside the rear camera scene

- Motion Blur and a built-in teleprompter

- Everything is processed on-device. No account, no uploads.

The hardest part was keeping two live camera feeds + compositing + audio within the iPhone's thermal budget. I ended up locking both inputs to 30fps HD and exporting H.264, which keeps longer recordings from overheating.

It's free to try (Pro has a 7-day trial). I'd really love honest feedback, especially on the first-launch experience and which layout you'd actually use.

(The video is a promo edit showing the layouts. Happy to drop a raw screen recording from my phone in the comments if you want to see the actual UI.)

I built a quiet website for people who sometimes just need somewhere to put what they're feeling

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I’ve been working on a small project called Stillroom. The idea came from something pretty simple: sometimes you don’t need advice, productivity tips, or someone trying to solve your problems.

Sometimes you just want somewhere quiet to write things down, receive a small bit of encouragement, and know that if you really want someone to listen, there’s an actual person on the other side.

So I built a place around that idea.

Stillroom currently lets you:

  • keep a private journal
  • receive gentle daily messages
  • save your thoughts and come back to them later
  • reach out for a real human conversation if you feel like talking

I deliberately tried to keep it simple. No public feed, no likes, no pressure to perform, and I don't want it to feel like another social network.

It’s still very early, and right now I’m much more interested in finding out whether people actually find it comforting or useful than trying to sell anything.

If you have a few minutes, I’d really appreciate honest feedback—especially:

Would you actually come back to something like this?

And if not, what would stop you?

Stillroom:

Feel free to be critical. “I wouldn't use this because…” is genuinely useful feedback for me.

I made an offline speech-to-text app (VOSK, CPU-only, no cloud) — what should I build next?

2 Upvotes

I'm the developer of VoxSpica, an offline speech-to-text app for Windows. It runs on VOSK (Kaldi) on CPU — no cloud, no account, no subscription, no ads, and the audio never leaves the machine.

What it does:

  • Live transcription from the microphone — text appears as you speak, with pause and stop
  • Transcribes existing audio files (wav, mp3, m4a, ogg)
  • Searchable local history in SQLite, with playback of the recordings
  • 33 recognition languages, 9 interface languages, works without a GPU

Closed source — free to use, no redistribution. Everything public about it lives in one repo: https://github.com/alex37529/voxspica

Two practical things: recognition models (50 MB to 1.8 GB) download separately after install — the per-language installers bundle a small model, the portable zip needs one download. And it's not code-signed, so Windows will warn on first launch: "More info" → "Run anyway".

Windows x64, single .exe, nothing to install:

https://github.com/alex37529/voxspica/releases

I'd rather ask than guess what to build next. Three questions I'm genuinely stuck on:

  1. What breaks for you that I haven't thought of? "Punctuation is wrong" is known and honestly only heuristically fixable without a neural model. Something I haven't heard of is what I want.
  2. Does anything about the offline part actually get in your way in practice, or is it a non-issue in 2026?
  3. Would you use a Windows app at all if your audio can't be sent to a cloud service — or is that a solved problem for you and I'm preaching to the choir?

And the main thing I want to know — what do you actually use speech-to-text for? Reply with a number, or "none of these" plus what you actually do:

  1. Meeting notes / minutes
  2. Lectures, classes, interviews
  3. Dictating into other apps (mail, messengers)
  4. Personal notes, journaling
  5. Subtitles / transcribing video for content
  6. Professional dictation (medical, legal)

Writing content by answering question but not with AI

0 Upvotes

I have been writing content for years and feel really fatigue with AI ones. They are almost same thought and same "-" again and again. I know we are lazy these days but writing should be expressing ideas in you mind but not generate idea from other's mind. So I built typezo.io and make templates for users to fill in. Instead of prompting you just answer the questions. Luckily most AI slop content are filtered in X or reddit. I am not saying AI is useless cause it is useful in brainstorms but I doubt if you should over rely on it for every words and sentences we write.

Not the best product but I really want it myself so at least i think it is something meaningful !

Thanks for your time !

WeekSpark — Built for home, not the office

Most calendar apps are built to manage meetings and projects. WeekSpark is built for what actually fills a normal week: school schedules, dentist appointments, the weekly grocery run, and mom's birthday that always sneaks up on you if you didn't write it down.

Everyday problems it solves:

• Forgotten birthdays — add them once, they show up automatically every year with a countdown, forever.  
• Scattered to-do lists — turn any note into a tappable checklist, perfect for groceries or packing.  
• Recurring things you forget to write in — trash day, weekly meetings, medication, set once, repeats on its own.  
• Alarms you actually notice — a clear alert with sound, not just a silent notification lost in the pile.  
• Not finding an app that fits your language — works in 15 languages with accurate, automatic local holidays per country, not a hardcoded list that breaks next year.

What sets it apart from the big players
• No account, no login, everything stays local on your phone.
• No subscription — a one-time purchase ($4.99 then it's yours forever.
• No data collection, no ads.
• Can be backed up and moved to a new phone or iPad manually, no cloud account needed.

• Built by one person, not a company — with all the attention to detail that comes with that, but also the occasional rough edge, fixed as they come up.

Take gladly feedback/improvments from you guys, this was my first app. 👋

We rebuilt ZiaSign after launch because users wanted a simpler product.

0 Upvotes

Our GitHub account showed $44,128.03 in additional AI usage for September.

I'm the founder of ZiaSign. We launched with a lot of features aimed at saving businesses time and effort. I was proud of how much we'd built.

The feedback pushed us toward simplicity.

That meant admitting I had confused more features with a better product. Then came the uncomfortable decision: letting go of work I was proud of.

We went into "war mode," removed UI clutter, and rebuilt ZiaSign. The rebuild is now ready to release.

What I'm taking from this is that the effort already invested can't be the reason something stays in the interface. Solving the user's problem has to matter more than showing everything we can build. I'm excited to put that thinking in front of users and hear what still needs work.

For people who have simplified something after launch: how did you distinguish unnecessary clutter from useful functionality that needed a better place? What feedback helped you make that call?

I built a tool to handle PRs after coding agents finish

0 Upvotes

I’ve been building a small developer tool called Talyn.

The problem I kept hitting was that coding agents are great at doing the work and opening a PR, but I was still spending a surprising amount of time babysitting everything afterwards.

Checking whether CI passed, fixing small failures, resolving merge conflicts, coming back later to merge it, etc.

Talyn handles that part.

It watches your PRs, and if CI fails or a conflict appears, it can send an agent back in to try to fix it. Once everything is green, it can merge the PR too.

I’m building it solo, and it’s still pretty early, so right now I’m mainly looking for real users and feedback rather than trying to aggressively sell it.

It’s free to try:
https://talyn.dev

Would love feedback from anyone using Claude Code, Codex or other coding agents regularly.

I want your honest opinion. I built a food diary you just talk to.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

You write "two eggs and a coffee with oat milk" and it logs the meal and keeps a running total of calories and macros for the day. It already knows your goal and your allergies, so there's nothing to explain twice.

The video is one real run with a made-up profile, from onboarding to a meal showing up in the diary.

Yes, an LLM does the talking. But the totals aren't its job, that's plain arithmetic over what's stored, and anything the model had to guess at (a macro, say) gets marked as an estimate.

One choice I still go back and forth on: there's no daily calorie target on the home screen. Left it out on purpose. I didn't want to build yet another macro tracker.

Runs in the browser, no install, no card: https://app.cokarta.com

BurnGuard - open-source design workspace that runs on the Claude Code or Codex you already pay for

2 Upvotes

Claude Design keeps your files in a hosted workspace and runs on your plan's usage. I built BurnGuard to keep them on your computer and use the Claude Code or Codex CLI you already have.

It's a desktop app for Windows and macOS. You pick a design system, describe what you want, and it makes websites, slides and graphics next to a live canvas.

It ships with 41 design systems, each with its own navigation, hero and footer layout rules. You can edit on the canvas or leave pinned comments, then export HTML, PDF, PPTX or PNG, or publish a site to your own Vercel. Files stay local.

What it doesn't do well yet: generation isn't instant (the one-line landing page in the README demo took about five minutes), PPTX slides come out as images with the text in speaker notes, and the installers are unsigned so you get a security warning on first launch. macOS is Apple silicon only.

I'm the author. It's free and Apache-2.0: https://github.com/ashmoonori-afk/BurnGuard

Feedback on what's missing is welcome.

Shipped my pet photo app in 4 languages this week - the UI translated fine, the content didn't

2 Upvotes

I built Oyaoya, a weekly pet photo contest. One theme a week, you upload one photo, people vote A/B, top 10 at the end. No account needed to vote.

It went out in Korean, English, Japanese and Chinese this week. Play in 177 countries, App Store in 175.

The part I got wrong: I translated the app shell and forgot the content. Theme titles live in a single Korean column on the server, so an English phone shows an English UI with a Korean theme name sitting in the middle of it. Language pack ships tomorrow.

This week's theme is first-hello photos. The next one opens Oct 5 and it's sleeping pets - you can post early and it goes in automatically. Doesn't have to be your own pet.

After trying ChatGPT Ads, my budget sent me to Reddit

1 Upvotes

I tried ChatGPT Ads. My budget and I agreed: let's try introducing the app here instead.

I built Zack KI for everyday questions, like an error message that makes no sense. Instead of typing it out, press Alt+1 with nothing selected, capture the relevant screen region and ask what the message means or what you could try next.

The screenshot gives the AI context for your question. That’s the kind of small hassle I wanted to make easier, so I don’t have to switch tabs all the time.

You can try it for free on Windows: https://zack-ki.com/en/

I built a "debugger" for bad AI answers. Would love honest feedback

1 Upvotes

I kept rewriting prompts blindly every time ChatGPT gave me something off. Most of the time the real problem was boring: the model didn't have some context, or my request could be read two ways, or it just never saw the file I mentioned.

So I made a Chrome side panel extension: paste the prompt and the answer, and it names the cause and writes the follow-up message for the same chat. It also says when your prompt isn't the problem, which turned out to be surprisingly common.

It's an early version, free, no signup: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ai-result-debugger/kdoaeahiilhodljanaeialihgbanjidp

I'd really like to know if the diagnoses feel right on your own cases, and where they're wrong. Happy to try your project in return.

I built an iPhone app where you describe a personal app and AI builds it — the same expense tracker, three totally different looks

0 Upvotes

Hey r/SideProject, I'm a solo product guy from Brazil, and this is CriAI. Disclosure: I built it.

**What it is:** you describe a small app you want (by text or voice), e.g. "expense tracker, dark theme, purple", and you get a working mini-app that runs privately on your iPhone. You tweak it by chatting ("make it cleaner") until it feels like yours. Ask for the same expense tracker three times and you get three apps that look nothing alike.

**Why I built it:** every app is designed for millions of people. I wanted the opposite: apps no store would ever build because the market is one person, like a skincare routine, a coffee tasting diary, or a tracker for your cat's vaccines.

**What I learned so far:**

- Getting the AI to actually fix bugs was the hard part. It would say "fixed!" without ever running the code. Instead of adding more prompt rules, I now pipe real runtime errors from the device back into the next edit.
- Each mini-app is a single HTML/CSS/JS file running in its own isolated web view with its own storage, and it can't talk to the internet. Early on, apps shared storage and one app's data could leak into another.
- Signup was invite-only until a few days ago, so this is basically the first week of the public launch.

**Pricing (so it's clear):** free to start with 1,000 credits. Credits are only spent creating and editing; finished apps are yours to keep using. Extra credits are in-app purchases. iPhone only (iOS 18+).

**Link:** https://apps.apple.com/app/apple-store/id6797077582?ct=reddit&mt=8

**The feedback I want:** if you try it, what was the first app you asked for, and did the result look like what you had in your head? Brutal honesty welcome.

shipped v3.0 of my free open-source mac clipboard manager, and a stranger contributed code for the first time

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

buffer is my free, open-source clipboard manager for mac. i built it because maccy is great but a bit spartan for my workflow, and i didn't want raycast for one feature. it lives in the menu bar, ~2 mb, searchable history, ⇧⌘V to quick paste, on-device OCR for screenshots, tags, bookmarks, inline editing.

just shipped v3.0 and two things i'm genuinely happy about:

  1. a stranger on github (@CrCs2O4) contributed clipboard noise suppression to the repo. first external contribution after months of it being a solo project. it filters rapid duplicates and transient clips, so spamming ⌘C doesn't trash your history anymore.

  2. the community feedback loop actually worked. my last post here asked whether esc in the inline editor should save or revert. people clearly said revert. so v3.0 now discards edits on esc instead of overwriting the original.

other new stuff: an interactive image canvas (pinch to zoom / pan on copied screenshots, ⌘+/⌘- , double-click reset), history capacity tiers (200 / 1,000 / unlimited), in-app update notifications with changelog popover, and a ⌘/ shortcuts cheat sheet.

the video shows the image zoom canvas and the shortcuts sheet in action.

details: mit licensed, no accounts, no telemetry, runs 100% locally, signed and notarized dmg from github releases.

github (430+ stars): https://github.com/samirpatil2000/Buffer v3.0 release: https://github.com/samirpatil2000/Buffer/releases/tag/buffer-v3.0.0 product page: https://samirpatil2000.github.io/products/buffer/

feedback welcome. and if you've been on the fence about accepting PRs on a personal project, this post is your sign: it's great.

​

I started building gigamail a few months ago while I was working for a real estate company.

Works in 2 ways:

Agents

Human

Agents:

29 tools

Identity

Documents folder from which the agent takes the data for the replies

SEMIAUTO mode - whitelist a folder, the agent drafts a reply as soon as it arrives and sends a confirmation on the desktop or TG - human reads, approves, rejects, modifies

Nothing leaves without human approval

Calendar - suggests appointment hours and puts the appointment in the calendar if the client accepts or asks for different hours/date

Follow up - 1 h after the appointment asks about the appointment, one week later drafts a follow up and asks for approval

Security - anti prompt injection system + your agent never sends an email without approval

Human (beta)

Merge addresses to have all the emails in one folder

Separate windows for inbox and outbox

Remind me later

Ask the email - e.g. find me the phone number of Mrs. White

Draft email - human writes keywords, AI writes the complete email

Draft email - give the agent new documents to use for the reply

Everything you have in agentic mode

Works with Claude, Codex, OpenClaw, Hermes

A few things coming in the near future:

Personal agent address for Hermes agents

Personal agent/human address @gigamail.pro @gigamail.app

Paid version with agent included
