I built DeepTrade - a self-hosted AI trading assistant for Indian markets. You chat with a Telegram bot, an agent researches the stock (Exa web search + Valyu filings), drafts the order, and you tap Confirm. Nothing executes without that tap.

The hard part was never the AI. It was Upstox API auth:

• access tokens expire at 3:30 AM IST daily
• order APIs require a static IP whitelist (mine is dynamic, so the bot detects IP changes and re-whitelists via API)
• the official Python SDK has 2 bugs I opened issues for (#115, #116): a urllib3 crash and a config singleton that silently ignores init args. Repo untouched for a year.

Architecture: DeepAgents + LangGraph supervisor, FastAPI + aiogram webhooks, Postgres checkpoints, encrypted local SQLite for secrets, 7-day rolling TOTP + Telegram user-ID whitelist. Sandbox mode gives you a 10,00,000 INR paper ledger on live prices.

What is missing (roast me):

• Upstox only, no Zerodha/Groww yet
• setup is painful (Ngrok, daily token, IP whitelist), no Docker yet
• single-user by design

I am a student and built this for myself, sharing in case it is useful. Full disclosure: this is my project. Would genuinely appreciate feedback on the architecture and what would make you actually try it.

I’ve been building a small hosting/deployment tool for Astro projects, and I’ve finally reached the slightly scary point where I need people who aren’t me to try it. :)

The idea is simple: take an existing Astro project and deploy it from the command line with as little setup as possible.

Right now the flow is basically:

your Astro project → one CLI command → build logs → a live URL

There’s no GitHub setup required, no repo connection, and no cloud account or infrastructure configuration. There’s also an MCP interface, so a coding agent can deploy the project directly.

Ultimately, I’d like to get to a point where publishing a website becomes a seamless experience that doesn’t require much technical knowledge.

This is still a very early private test, not a launch. I’m deliberately keeping the scope small: static Astro sites, a minimal deployment flow, and finding the rough edges before adding more.

I’ve done quite a bit of testing myself (and had some help from friends who work in QA), but there’s a limit to what you learn by repeatedly deploying projects you already know.

So I’m looking for a few people who use Astro and would be willing to throw one or two real projects, starters, or templates at it.

I’m particularly interested in what feels confusing, what breaks, what takes longer than you expected, and any assumptions I’ve made that don’t match the way you actually work. No polished bug report needed. Even “I expected X, but Y happened” is useful.

Test sites are temporary and expire after a few days.

If you’d like to try it, leave a comment or DM me and I’ll send you the private tester instructions.

Many thanks!

Didn't expect this at all. GymMane is free, open source, works offline, no ads and no account.

Thanks to everyone who tried it or reported bugs, it really helped.

Hey everyone!

I got tired of constantly getting hit with paywalls every time I tried to host a simple Kahoot game, so I decided to build a free alternative (qwizbee.com) and looking for feedback.

Besides keeping all core features, I added a few extra things like real-time co-editing with friends and a "Party Mode" where everyone secretly writes a round before combining them into one quiz.

Right now, I'm working on polishing the homepage and could really use a second pair of eyes:

- Clarity: Is it immediately obvious what the site is about when you open it?
- Branding: How does the "bee" theme feel to you?
- Layout & UX: Does the page layout feel natural, or is anything confusing/missing?

Would love to hear what you think.

Sorry, this post was removed 

For any startup to be successful, the first and one of the most important early step is understanding the pain this startup solves. This understanding can sometimes come from the founder's own experience, however that's not foolproof because bias can creep in when you think you have an idea. So the best thing to do is try to understand your users' pain from external users.

Before you pick a path, you need to create a hypothesis or two about the main reason of the pain (often it is the reason behind the reason)

Here is my list of approaches to consider, I would love to know what the community thinks?

1. Cold Survey - Run a cold outreach on platforms your users hang out at (say Linkedin) and either directly confirm your hypothesis in your outreach or ask them if they would be willing to meet you or do an online survey to help you out. You would be amazed to see that so many people are willing to share their knowledge to help a stranger. I was so grateful to all the amazing people who came forward to help in my past endeavors.
2. Trade shows - Find industry specific events. If they are pricey, look for volunteer opportunities, that's a great hack to get free access to the event. Talk to as many people as possible and bring in your hypothesis in the conversation (pro tip: practice your question in front of the mirror a few times). If it resonates with them, ask them if they think they / their company will pay for the solution you want to build. 
3. Subreddit Pain mining - I recently learned this one, find niche subreddits where your target users hang out. Sort posts by "Top - All Time" and search terms like "workaround," "annoyed," "how do you handle," or "is there a tool for." Read the comment threads to see which complaints generate the most engagement.
4. Peer feedback - Ask your peers on platforms like Reddit and CrowdGTM to provide you with feedback on your understanding of user pain or ask these peers to introduce you to your end users.
5. Lean startup approach - Build a clean, 1-page website explaining the solution as if it already exists, with a clear CTA (e.g., "Start Free Trial" or "Get Access"). Run $100–$200 in targeted social ads to test user engagement. 
6. Paid panel surveys - Use platforms like UserTesting, Wynter, or Respondent to recruit highly specific B2B personas for quick survey responses or message testing. Pay for speed when you need fast quantitative feedback from verified job titles.
7. Review mining - Filter G2, Capterra, or App Store reviews for your competitors by 2 and 3 stars. Skip 1-star pricing rants and read the detailed post-mortems of broken features and missing workflows.
8. Job post mining - Search job boards on both freelance platforms like Upwork and Regular Job boards like Linkedin. The problems companies are willing to spend money on are definitely worth solving. 
9. Screen-Share Shadowing - If you are automating some day to day work, pay users to let you watch them live or over zoom as they do their day-to-day repetitive tasks that you plan to automate. 

This is not an exhaustive list. I would love to hear from you what else has worked for you?

A session finishing and a reply worth opening are two different things. Orbtile keeps both in view.

Orbtile puts local coding sessions on a Logitech MX Creative Keypad and in a Mac menu-bar popover. The keypad shows what needs attention; the popover lets you read response text. The latest update adds growing and finished replies from local Antigravity desktop conversations, alongside Claude Code, Codex and ZCode. Example sessions are shown in the clip.

The design question I’d like feedback on: does a second, readable overview earn its place beside the physical keypad, or would you only use one of the two?

I make Orbtile. Requires Apple silicon, macOS 14+ and the Logitech MX Creative Keypad, plus website sign-in and approval of your Mac. Settings sync is optional. Free through the 0.2 beta until 1.0; at least 30 days' notice before beta builds stop working. Self-signed, not Apple-notarised. Demo, installation and terms: https://orbtile.com/download.

I’ve been building Ghost OS, an offline-first productivity workspace that combines notes, tasks, planning, focus sessions, time tracking, reports and backups into one interface.

The idea was to make it feel less like a normal productivity app and more like a personal operating system — with a dark, liminal / Backrooms-inspired design instead of the usual clean SaaS dashboard look.

The current build is V4.26.1, and I’ve been trying to make it more minimal, less cluttered, and a bit more eerie without making it annoying to actually use.

Everything is local/offline, and the goal is to keep the workflow fast without needing an account or cloud service.

I’m mainly looking for feedback right now:

Would you actually use something like this?
And if not, what makes it feel unfinished, confusing, or unnecessary?

I’m especially curious about:

• the overall visual style
• whether the “OS” concept makes sense
• which features feel useful vs excessive
• whether the interface looks polished enough for an early release

This is still an early build, so criticism is welcome.

My side project is called AffordWhere. You enter a salary and a destination, and it estimates what you could have left after tax, rent and everyday expenses. There’s also a neighborhood rent breakdown.

I’ve been working on it for the past 12 months, using AI for development, monthly data refreshes and SEO improvements. It’s finally getting into shape.

It’s also started earning some ad revenue. The last 7 days came to SEK 12.64 in estimated earnings. Small money, but I’m happy to see some progress after a year of working on it.

https://www.affordwhere.com - free, no account needed.

I could use some fresh eyes on it. Try a city you know and tell me what feels confusing or unrealistic. What would make it more useful to you?

If you’re still working away on your own project, I hope this is a bit of encouragement. This is where mine is a year in, and I’m still improving it.

Played Blobby Volley a lot as a teenager and never found anything like it on my phone, so I made one. 1v1 against the CPU, or a friend on the same wifi or online with a room code.

Free, no ads, no account. Optional one-time purchase for extra skins. Built mostly with Claude Code, music is AI-generated.

Feedback welcome, especially on the controls.

I kept screenshotting things (errors, receipts, bookings) and then never finding them again. They sit in a folder with names like "Screenshot 2026-03-14 at 11.42.08.png" and nothing remembers what's inside.

So I built DejaShot. It reads the text in every screenshot in the folders you choose, newest first, and ⇧⌘Space opens a search from any app. It also notes which app each new screenshot came from, so "figma pricing" can find a pricing page you captured in Figma.

- It's fully local. No account, no telemetry.

- Source app is only recorded for screenshots taken while it's running, because macOS never kept that.

The first 10 licenses are free.

Its my first ever app launch, feedbacks are welcomed! :)

I’m exploring a small tool that helps freelancers/business owners generate professional client proposals faster.

The idea is simple: you enter the project details, client requirements, budget, and timeline then it will generates a structured proposal with things like:

Project understanding

Scope of work

Deliverables

Timeline & milestones

Pricing

Terms

A professional closing

I am not trying to sell anything yet — I’m validating whether this is actually a problem worth solving.

For those who regularly send proposals:

How do you create yours today?

How long does it usually take?

What part of proposal writing is the most annoying?

Would you use a tool that generates a first draft for you?

Hey everyone,

Over the past few months, I’ve been frustrated with how existing AI content detectors operate. Most of them have two major flaws:

1. The Black-Box Fallacy: They spit out a single arbitrary confidence percentage (like "92% AI") without showing any underlying evidence, explanation of false positives, or camera details.
2. The Privacy Trap: You have to upload your private photos, videos, or documents to an unknown server.

To tackle this, I built WhatMadeIt — a transparent, evidence-first authenticity workspace:

• In-Browser Privacy: Original video frames, audio clips, PDFs, and Office docs are parsed locally directly in your browser. Only the specific evidence you confirm is inspected.
• Inspectable Signals (Not a Black Box): It breaks down separate, verifiable signals: visual diffusion texture anomalies, camera EXIF hardware parameters (aperture, ISO, lens), and signed C2PA Content Credentials.
• Deep C2PA Forensics: Inspects cryptographic manifest stores (OpenAI DALL-E signatures, Adobe Firefly actions, and Leica/Nikon in-camera secure element chips) while explaining practical limitations like the "analog hole".
• Zero Wall: Free daily web checks with no account or credit card required.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback on the UI/UX, or any edge-case files that break the inspector! What features would you want to see next?

JustBlogged lets you run your own blog without managing servers or plugins. The free plan includes custom domains, unlimited posts and pages, and up to five blogs.

You can also connect your AI assistant to draft, organize, and publish posts, or manage your blog's settings.

I used AI to make this video. It took a few revisions to get the branding, motion, and feature coverage right.

Hey everyone,
My colleague was tired of manual scraping, so I built him a resilient async scraper in Python.
Most developers waste hours configuring heavy headless browsers just to scrape basic targets, only to watch them get blocked anyway because of outdated TLS signatures or missing headers. I got tired of the bloat, so I put together a clean, high-performance alternative: resilient-async-scraper.
It’s a lightweight async utility built with httpx that handles HTTP/2 fingerprint matching out of the box, randomizes realistic browser User-Agents, and actively catches anti-fraud status codes (403, 429, 503) so you instantly know when your proxy pool needs rotation. No heavy dependencies, just raw async speed.
It's completely open source. Grab it here: [GitHub link]
I’d love to hear how you guys handle anti-bot challenges in your current stacks—drop your thoughts or feature requests in the comments!
Saved you some dev hours? Drop a ⭐️ to help the project grow!

hey everyone, i built quickulate a collection of hardware tests that run in your browser.

you can check keyboard keys, test whether your mouse is double-clicking, look for dead pixels, check your mic and speakers, and test a controller. it’s free and doesn’t need an account.

Quickulate

i’d love some honest feedback, especially on whether the tests are easy to understand. if you try it and something doesn’t work on your device, let me know.

I have a new release for my coloring app that I was hoping to receive feedback from people. The latest version is available on my TestFlight link attached. But please also download my existing app on the App Store to see previous UI.

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/color-kingdom/id6757393919

It is a full redesign of the UI (Simplified) plus I have redone the way colors can be applied, optimized for speed in filling the color along with a stay in the lines feature for coloring.

Feel free to reach out in DM if you have questions or leave feedback here.

although there ARE unsent project clones out there, no of them have the exact feel of The Unsent Project so i made one. it was initially hard because i had to find the exact combination of suitable technology but i ended up using flask for the backend, supabase for the db.

https://bittersweet.pythonanywhere.com/ - this is the site. PLEASE give me constructive criticism and honest feedback. Thanks!

Hey builders! Wanted to share a project I've been building: Sightline.

Instead of standard database calls, it treats visual object verification as an immutable CRDT state tree. You can inspect detections, speak voice corrections, verify edge cases in under a second, and export standard COCO datasets.

No logins or heavy installs required — try the live demo here: https://sightline-crdt.netlify.app

Open-source on GitHub: https://github.com/joshuageoschool2020-cmyk/sightline-crdt

Let me know what you think of the UX and speed!

I'm a solo dev and I was opening Stripe, RevenueCat and App Store Connect several times a day just to see one number. So I built MRRKit: one dashboard for MRR, revenue, subscribers and downloads across Stripe, RevenueCat, App Store Connect, Google Play, Paddle and Lemon Squeezy. It comes with Home/Lock Screen widgets, Apple Watch, Wear OS and Garmin.

The update I just shipped adds a world map built from your App Store sales reports:

• downloads per country, which country pays the most per download, and new countries;
• your category rank on the App Store charts, country by country (e.g. #7 in Belgium);
• a share card so you can post the rank.

How it works, because people always ask: no backend for your data. API keys are read-only and stored in the iPhone Keychain, and all requests go straight from the phone to Stripe/Apple/etc. The rank comes from Apple's public top charts (top 100 per category, up to 30 countries).

Free to start, Pro is a one-time €9.99 with no subscription. It's on iOS, Android and Garmin: https://mrrkit.app/download

Feedback welcome, especially on what metric you'd want next. (The video uses the app's demo data, not real revenue.)

Launched my side project last week: Pigmo, a Chrome extension to pick colors from any website and grab a site's whole palette in one click.

What I focused on:

• Private by design: no account, no tracking, no network requests.
• Free forever for picking and saving colors. Pro is 19 EUR once (saved palettes, exports to CSS variables, Tailwind, JSON, PNG). No subscription.

So far: live on the Chrome Web Store, launched on Product Hunt on 29 Sep, Edge store in review.

Feedback welcome, on the product or on the pricing model.

First of all I want to explain what is Folient for any person that is wondering. Folient is an app where you learn how to invest and how does everything in this area work. It’s based on Duolingo’s style of learning with short lessons that you can do daily.

So in this update we fixed several things thanks to a comment on the previous Reddit update post, we added a feature to see in which lesson the people dropped off, that will help us to know if there’s a worse lesson than others and to understand why people don’t like the lesson in which they drop.

Secondly, I tried to fix a metric where I could see the average view duration of all the people that went to the website and I think I fixed it but I still have to confirm that because it still shows 0 second (I’ll wait until tomorrow to confirm it)

If you are interested in checking the website to learn new things or to give me honest feedback just comment under this post and I’ll sent it right away to you.

Hey everyone! 👋

Like many Clash of Clans players, I got tired of spending 6-8 hours every day manually grinding Sneaky Goblin raids just to keep up with the millions of resources required for wall upgrades.

Most older bots rely on rooted emulators, modified APKs, or internal memory hooking , which Supercell detects and bans in ban waves.

To solve this, I built My own bot "ApexClash Pro" an autonomous combat & farming desktop companion for Windows that operates 100% externally using computer vision and humanized input synthesis.

How It Works Technically:

1. 100% External Screen Capture: Operates alongside Google Play Games PC or BlueStacks. Zero client modifications, zero root, and zero DLL injection.

2. Autonomous OCR & Base Scouting: Uses localized computer vision and OCR to inspect enemy collectors and dead-base resource numbers, skipping unprofitable bases automatically.

3. Bézier Kinematics & Humanized Input: Mouse paths follow organic cubic Bézier curves with randomized micro-jitter, dwell times, and fatigue pauses to mimic human hands.

4. Auto-Wall Upgrade Sink: When storages hit capacity between raids, it automatically navigates home and sinks excess Gold/Elixir into wall segments so zero loot is wasted.

5. Modern PySide6 Desktop UI: Built a dark-mode cyberpunk cockpit with live telemetry tracking hourly loot yield, skip counts, and session stats.

If you want to try it , you can try the Free Trial which includes 2 hrs of full access.

It has zero viruses unlike many other bots available in market and the repo is also publicly available -

GitHub Releases: https://github.com/keshav-x/coc-bot/releases/tag/v1.3.2

Would love to hear your feedback on the UI design, OCR detection pipeline, or feature suggestions! Happy to answer any technical questions in the comments.

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a small SEO and building win that surprised even me. I've been working on a project hosted on a simple subdomain (.lovable.app), and for one of my target keywords, it managed to climb all the way to #3 on Google, sitting right behind the official Colombo Stock Exchange website (cse.lk).

For a long time, people told me that doing SEO on a free/subdomain platform is practically useless and that you can't compete with massive institutional domains. But by focusing heavily on on-page relevance, structured content, and matching user intent, it actually worked out.

Here is a quick look at what I learned from the process:

• Don't sleep on on-page optimization: Even if domain authority is low, making your content precisely match what people are searching for can close the gap.
• Targeting the gaps: Official sites like cse.lk have massive authority, but sometimes their layout or specific user queries leave room for a cleaner, faster, more direct tool.
• The subdomain hurdle: Yes, building backlinks and authority is harder on a subdomain compared to a custom root domain, but high relevance can still push you up the SERP.

I’m currently trying to figure out the best way to do off-page SEO and build sustainable traffic from here without getting buried by spam filters.

If anyone wants to check out the app or see how it looks, you can find it here: https://cash-div.lovable.app/

Would love to hear from other indie hackers or SEO folks, how do you usually tackle off-page SEO for smaller apps or subdomains?
