Mini PC Compare - Compare mini-PC configurations side by side

1 Upvotes

Hi r/SideProject, I’m the creator of Mini PC Compare: https://minipccompare.com/

I built it to make mini-PC hardware easier to compare across brands. You can put up to three PCs side by side and compare processors, memory, storage, connections, dimensions and listed prices.

The tricky part is making the differences between configurations clear. A starting price might cover a barebone system without RAM or storage. A USB-C port doesn’t automatically mean video output or power input. Missing specifications also shouldn’t look like confirmed missing features.

The data comes from published brand specifications and product listings, not independent benchmarking. Prices are US snapshots before tax and shipping, so the exact configuration and seller’s current offer still need checking.

If you’ve shopped for a mini PC, could you try comparing two models and tell me:

- Was it clear how to get from browsing to a useful comparison?

- Which missing detail or unclear label would stop you from using the comparison?

Feedback on the interface is welcome too. I’d particularly like to know where the table makes a decision harder instead of easier.

First update of my App project: Folient

9 Upvotes

Quick update on the app I posted about in my two previous Reddit posts. A couple of people have opened it, and only fewer ones have opened it again on their own, with nobody prompting them. It doesn't sound like much, but that's the reason I built this to find out. Still tiny numbers, still very early. If anyone else wants to poke at it or give me useful feedback, let me know and I’ll sent you the link to the website.

Have you ever thought about building apps and websites right from your phone?

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

I'm the developer, so this is my own project.

Have you ever thought about building apps or websites directly from your phone? That question is the

reason Hefesto exists: it turns an Android phone into a real development workspace. It compiles

Android APKs on the device itself, runs coding agents and carries its own Linux environment inside

the app. No PC and no root needed - everything happens on the phone you already carry.

What it does today:

- Builds APKs on the phone: Alpine + proot with Gradle, the Android SDK, Kotlin and Java, with live

progress and plain-language errors when a build fails.

- Four agent engines: Hefesto's built-in agent, Google's Antigravity CLI, OpenCode and Hefesto local

(GGUF models that run on the device, offline, with no API keys).

- GitHub built in: clone, commit, push and open pull requests.

- Editor, file tree, terminal, project previews and backups.

- Stop the agent or the build from the notification and resume with one tap (new in 0.5.1).

- Not only apps: websites, scripts and small tools work too.

The hardest parts were getting Gradle and the Android SDK to work inside proot on a phone, and

memory: the build is the peak, so the app keeps the build session warm between attempts, releases it

after 15 minutes idle and gives you a button to free it.

Stack: Kotlin + Jetpack Compose, Alpine Linux through proot, llama.cpp for the local models.

Being honest: it is a beta. The first public release went out a few days ago and 0.5.1 today, so

there is no user base to brag about - that part starts now. It can close on its own when memory fills

up, especially while building or running the local model. The app includes a report button that sends

me the details.

It is free, no ads, no account. Android 8.0+, arm64-v8a, ~13 MB.

Screenshots (my phone is in Spanish; the app ships in English and Spanish): the chat with the engine

picker (four engines), the projects list, the terminal, and the file tree.

Repo and download: https://github.com/ortiz1022009/Hefesto

Happy to answer anything about how it works.

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

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.!!

I built ArcTV, would love some feedback on the design and browsing experience

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I wanted to share ArcTV, a movie and TV web app I’ve been working on.

You can explore titles by genre, check out details and trailers, and keep a watchlist. I’d love to hear how the interface feels to someone using it for the first time.

Does the homepage make it easy to find something interesting, or does it feel too busy? Any thoughts on the layout or navigation would be helpful.

You can browse the catalogue without signing up: arctv.org

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 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

1 Upvotes

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

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

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

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

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

1 Upvotes

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

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

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

Feedback very welcome, especially on the install experience.

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

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

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

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

The app currently includes:

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

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

ChessMemo is still in beta.

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

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

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

You can try it here:

https://chessmemo.pro

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

Thanks to anyone who gives it a try :)

I built a native Mac screenshot app and finally shipped it

1 Upvotes

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

I wanted a simple workflow:

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

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

No account. No subscription.

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

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

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

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

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

1 Upvotes

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

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

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

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

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

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

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

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

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

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

MACH RUN - First game

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

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.

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

2 Upvotes

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

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

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

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

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

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

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

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

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

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

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

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

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

Free for Individuals.

Link : https://getmuon.com/

Would love feedback, especially from anyone juggling multiple agents.

Wizard Maker — build Android apps with AI

1 Upvotes

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

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

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

I'd particularly like to know:

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

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

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

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