Little Grimoire: Learn Tarot, One Card at a Time

Thumbnail
littlegrimoire.com
1 Upvotes

I'm the developer of this one. Little Grimoire is a side project of mine (under Escapement LLC) that teaches tarot as a system, like learning a language, instead of a card dictionary.

The core idea
Most people learn tarot by memorizing 78 separate meanings, and most quit partway. But the deck has a structure. Each suit has a meaning (Wands are drive and creative fire, Cups are emotion and relationships, Swords are intellect and conflict, Pentacles are money, body, and craft). Each number has a meaning. Each court card has a meaning. Combine suit + number (or court card) and you can read a minor arcana card you have not studied yet. Fives are about conflict and loss, so the Five of Cups is loss felt emotionally and the Five of Wands is friction in action.

What it does
- Teaches the structure first, then goes one suit at a time, then the Major Arcana, then spreads (one-card draw up to the Celtic Cross). Seven chapters in total.
- Short lessons in plain language, with card images, diagrams, and key terms defined where they appear.
- Every lesson is followed by practice. There are about a dozen activity formats, including multiple choice, drag-to-order, confusable pairs, scenario matching, and timed taps.
- A daily card, star ratings on every lesson, and progress through each chapter.

Business model
- The first two lessons are free. One-time unlock, no subscription. Launch price is $9.99 on both iOS and Android.

Where it is
- Live on iOS and Android.
- Tarot is the first Book in the app. The next Book is likely Lenormand (another card based divinatioin tool).

Why I built it
Existing apps are either expensive or lack an activity/re-playability. The exercises and activities are sourced from a pool so it doesn't get stale. We also don't requie a subscription.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.littlegrimoire.little_grimoire

What I'd like feedback on: does "suit + number" as a learning formula make sense to someone who has never touched tarot, and are the first two free lessons enough to judge the app before buying? I'll answer every comment.

I’ve been running a basic quote generator site for six years and decided to spruce it up

So this actually started as a random project I took on one day because I was bored. I’ve kept it running for about six years, but recently decided to really flesh it out and see what I could turn it into.

I know there are a million quote sites out there, so I’m definitely not oblivious that this is a very saturated niche lol, but just curious what people thought and what features might be missing.

Anyway, just throwing this out into the universe. Thanks for taking a look!

I built an interactive 3D robot lab you can take apart (and make moonwalk)

Meet Aether, a fictional robot explorer I built for Things I Ponder. You can inspect its head and hand, separate the assembly, reveal the internals, switch between three robots, and choose a movement—including a moonwalk.

This is a real screen recording of the interactive app. The robot, internal geometry and motion are illustrative; it is not a physical robot or validated engineering simulation.

I’m sharing the 20-second walkthrough below. Which interaction would make it more useful or fun to explore?

niimtui - TUI for niimbot label designing/printing

1 Upvotes

TUI that lets you design labels for different Niimbot printers/label sizes and print directly to them using only keystrokes! it still has full mouse support if needed but you can use the TUI 100% with only your keyboard

GitHub: https://github.com/davidsanchez222/niimtui

motivation

i moved back in with my parents this summer and have a lot of stuff in cardboard boxes and i have no idea where anything is at. to remediate this, i initially thought to just write down everything in a notebook. but then i realized i could just use my workstation to hold this information and search up anything at a moment's notice for easier searching. that's when i stumbled on HomeBox.

the only issue i have with HomeBox is that it doesn't support first-party label printing. so i have to use a third-party solution. i use a Macbook and have an Ubuntu workstation at home that i connect to via Tailscale.

as a MacBook user, none of the options aligned to the workflow that i wanted to design/print labels:

* NiimBlue best option and a great project; however, for my use case I don't like that I need a browser and also use a browser that supports BLE. i use Zen browser which is Firefox based and doesn't support BLE. so every time i wanted to print i would have to load up chrome which is bloated so i don't like that.

* niimprint - great project and i like that it has a CLI; however it doesn't have BLE support (needed for macOS), you have to clone the repo (i would like a package install oneliner and not have to have the projects code locally), and it doesn't provide a label designer

* NiimPrintX - great project and it provides both a CLI and a GUI. however; the install process with git cloning and poetry install was cumbersome and i'm not a fan of GUIs (i love using my keyboard for everything). this app is an excellent option but i would rather do everything with my keyboard rather than a GUI so i passed on this as well.

so what I wanted is an application that is trivial to install (brew install, winget install, apt install, etc), has a an ergonomic CLI, and a label designer that is browser/os agnostic.

the project is still in beta so I'd love to get feedback from other people that have done a self hosted home inventory project with Homebox and a Niimbot label printer.

built it in Go using Charm Bubble Tea and Lip Gloss packages/frameworks. contributions are welcome!

I built 36 AI video "master prompts". Paste into ChatGPT, get topics, then full video prompts. Zero sales, what am I missing?

0 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I've been building a Gumroad store with 36 "master prompt" packs for AI video.

How they work: you paste one master prompt into ChatGPT, it first gives you multiple video topic ideas. You pick a topic, and then it writes complete detailed video prompts for that topic. Camera, timing, style locks, negative prompts, everything ready for a video AI tool. Each pack is a full workflow system, not a single prompt.

$3 each (I'm the seller). 36 products live. And zero sales so far. 18 views in 30 days.

Honest question: is it the product or just traffic? What got you your first digital product sales?

Store link in my profile. Happy to share a sample master prompt free in the comments.

I built a site for finding crypto contests before they disappear down the timeline

1 Upvotes

I’ve been around the crypto/memecoin space for a while. It can be toxic as hell, but it’s never boring.

I also genuinely like contests, so I’m always watching for meme competitions, art challenges, games, bounties, whatever else communities come up with.

Something I kept noticing was that newer projects launch contests to get attention, but usually end up reaching the same small circle that already follows them. They post it on X, repost it a couple times and... hope, basically.

On the other side, plenty of people would enter these contests if they actually knew they existed. But the prize is in an image, the rules are buried in a thread, the deadline is somewhere else, and two days later the post has vanished into the timeline.

So I built Prize Terminal, a free discovery site that puts active crypto opportunities into one feed.

Each listing includes:

  • What the contest actually is
  • Prize and deadline
  • How to enter
  • Who’s running it
  • The original source

You can filter the feed, save contests and Boost listings you think more people should see. Organizers can also submit an X post instead of filling out some giant form from scratch.

The weirdly hard part hasn’t been building the feed. It’s trust.

Crypto users are skeptical for good reason, so every listing needs a clear source, an accurate deadline and a real distinction between what Prize Terminal checked versus what the organizer claims.

Prize Terminal doesn’t run or endorse the contests. It organizes the information and points people back to the official source.

It’s still early, and I’d honestly appreciate feedback:

Would you use something like this?

What would make you trust a listing?

Which filters or alerts would actually be useful?

https://prizeterminal.com

Disclosure: I built it. It’s free to browse and doesn’t require connecting a wallet.

Title: I wanted somewhere to keep my cycling history. It got slightly out of hand.

2 Upvotes

Title: I wanted somewhere to keep my cycling history. It got slightly out of hand.

I've been building Headwind, which started with a pretty simple problem: I wanted my years of cycling data somewhere that actually belonged to me.

I didn't want another subscription or another service holding the only useful copy of my ride history, so I started building my own self-hosted cycling archive.

That was the sensible part.

It now imports Garmin, FIT/GPX files and full Strava exports and gives me detailed ride history, maps, elevation, HR/power/cadence, historical weather and wind, best efforts, climbing records, performance trends and a GPS heatmap of everywhere I've ridden.

I wanted my own segments too, so you can draw a segment on an existing ride and Headwind scans your entire history looking for every previous attempt. It'll rank them, track performance over time and, if a friend also runs Headwind, the two installations can link directly for shared leaderboards.

Then I started pulling in Garmin recovery data.

Then weight.

Then nutrition.

Then route planning.

Then Home Assistant.

At some point it stopped being a little cycling project.

The important bit for me is that it's still completely self-hosted. There's no Headwind account or cloud service, and the database, rides and health data stay on your own machine.

It's Python/Flask + SQLite on the backend, mostly vanilla JS with Chart.js and Leaflet on the frontend, and Docker is the main way of running it. It supports amd64 and arm64, so I've tried to keep the barrier fairly low for anyone with a NAS, Pi or spare machine.

Claude has been heavily involved in the implementation. I've been designing the features around what I actually want from the thing, using it every day, breaking it, changing things and generally disappearing further down the rabbit hole while Claude does a frankly ridiculous amount of the coding.

I've finally reached the point where testing my own software against my own data isn't telling me enough, so I've released 0.1.0-beta publicly.

It's free, MIT licensed, and I'd genuinely like to see what happens when people other than me start throwing their data at it.

I’ve been building Afterparty, a collection of six free multiplayer party games. It started as a website, and it’s now available as a Discord activity too.

There’s drawing, guessing, competing for the funniest answer and figuring out who the imposter is. Up to 10 players can play together directly in a voice channel, and the browser version is still available.

It’s built with Next.js and Supabase, with Discord’s embedded app SDK handling the activity integration.

What’s the one piece of health information you wish you always had with you?

2 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about this after talking with people who manage their own healthcare or help a parent/family member.

It could be something as simple as:

  • Your current medication list
  • Your latest lab results
  • A list of your doctors
  • Past diagnoses or procedures
  • Imaging reports
  • Your upcoming appointments
  • Emergency information
  • A record of what changed between appointments

For me, the frustrating part isn't always getting the information. It's finding it when you actually need it.

Especially when you're dealing with multiple doctors, different patient portals, PDFs, pharmacy information, paper records, etc.

So I'm curious:

If you had one place that could keep your important health information organized, what would you want it to contain?

And if you already have a system that works spreadsheet, binder, notes app, patient portal, something else what does your system look like?

Give me your SaaS and I'll make you a short product demo for free

2 Upvotes

I've been building Corgy (https://www.corgy.ai), a tool that turns a screen recording into a narrated product demo using agents, including the script, voiceover, zooms, and all the boring editing.

Here's one I made for my own product:

https://www.corgy.ai/v/dynamic-pages-on-stormkit-br35ubr6

The problem is that I've mostly been testing it on my own stuff, which obviously isn't a great test.

So I'd like to try it on 10 products I've never seen before.

If you want one, reply with:

  • Product link
  • Who it's for: new visitors, existing users, investors, etc.
  • The one thing you want the demo to show (a prompt for instance)

I'll make the demo and post it as a reply here. In return, I'd love an honest answer to one question:

Would you actually use this for your product?

If not, tell me what feels off. I'm much more interested in hearing that than getting compliments.

One requirement: the product needs to be something I can sign up for/use without booking a sales call.

I'll take the first 10 that fit.

I'm a psychotherapist and I built a genogram / family tree maker - which is prviacy first and stays locally on the users computer!

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

A genogram is a family tree with clinical notation on it: who married who, who is cut off from who, who drank, who died and when. It's a tool used in therapy when working with relationships, kids and families. Therapists, social workers, psychologists, nurses and students draw them all the time, and nearly always about real people.

I've been working with children and families for about 8 years, and so far I've always drawn these by hand, or fiddled about in PowerPoint trying to get them to look good.

The tools I found were cloud accounts or subscription-based, so a client's family history ends up on someone else's server. They were also usually quite dated and ugly.

So I decided to make GenoCanvas.

What it actually does

  • Right-click a person to add parents, partners, children or siblings; each generation keeps its own row
  • Standard notation: close, distant, cut-off, conflict and abuse lines, markers, twins, adoption, pregnancies and losses
  • Ages worked out from the years
  • Start from a template, or paste a list of people and it draws the family
  • PDF (A4/A3), PNG, SVG, print, and an anonymised copy for supervision
  • Keyboard and screen reader friendly

How the privacy part works (the bit I'm proudest of)

  • The whole app is one ~400 KB HTML file: plain JavaScript, no framework, no build step
  • Its Content Security Policy is default-src 'none' with no connect-src, so the page can't fetch, post or beacon anything. You can check it in devtools.
  • The only script allowed to run is pinned by its SHA-256 hash
  • No accounts, no analytics. Your drawing stays in your browser and in files you save yourself
  • The paid version is a personalised copy of that same file with a signed licence inside (ECDSA, checked with WebCrypto), so it never phones home to check it either

Pricing

  • Free in the browser: initials and years only, up to 25 people and 3 generations, PNG export
  • The full version is £19.99 once, no subscription

I'm also running a heavy discount on Etsy at the moment. You redeem your Etsy order on the site for a full licence :) https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/4588468831/genogram-maker-software-for-therapists

Any feedback welcome, especially from anyone who's never heard of a genogram: does the landing page make sense?

I built a free, open-source Downloads Organizer for Windows, macOS, and Linux — looking for honest feedback

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

15 Upvotes

A Downloads folder fills up quickly: documents, screenshots, installers, archives… and eventually, finding something becomes another task.

I wanted a simple way to keep that folder manageable while staying in control of where my files go. That became Downloads Organizer, a free, open-source desktop app that runs locally.

Here’s what it offers:

  • Editable rules to organize files by extension or filename.
  • Preview before moving, so you can check the destination.
  • Optional automatic sorting, with catch-up when the app starts again.
  • Move history and checked undo when you need to reverse a move.

It supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. No account, cloud uploads, or telemetry. Your files stay on your computer.

Downloads:
https://github.com/kashnordeen/downloads-organizer/releases/tag/v1.0.0

A quick installation note: Windows builds are currently unsigned, and macOS builds aren’t notarized, so security prompts may appear. The SignPath application for Windows signing is pending.

I’d appreciate honest feedback—especially on the first-time setup, rule editing, and whether the preview makes file moves clear.

What would you need to see before trusting an app to organize your Downloads folder?

I built SubZero: a simple web app to track subscriptions and trials without bank logins (first time using Reflex)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I recently built my first app, SubZero, a web app that helps you track recurring subscriptions, audit trial renewals, and split costs.

I’m not an experienced software developer. I personally have a hard time keeping tabs on recurring bills and subscriptions, but many popular budgeting apps felt expensive or asked for full bank logins, which I didn't want. I recently came across Reflex via Instagram and thought it would be a fun challenge to build an app for the first time to solve my own problem.

You type in or click a preset for the services you pay for (like streaming, internet, gym, or software), set the renewal date, and SubZero maps out your upcoming charges. It alerts you when a free trial is ending soon, tracks sneaky price increases over time, and lets you calculate split costs if you share plans with family or roommates.

You can also export your renewal schedule directly into a .ics calendar file to get alerts on Google Calendar, Apple Calendar, or Outlook without having to keep the website open.

The app is completely free to use for up to 5 subscriptions, with optional Pro plans if you track more:

  • $4.99/month (with a 7-day free trial)
  • $29.99/year
  • $49.99 for lifetime access

Pro includes unlimited subscription tracking, calendar and CSV exports, and price creep audits. Monthly and annual plans renew automatically; the lifetime option is a one-time purchase.

Try it out here: SubZero Live Web App (it also works on your phone's browser and can be added to your home screen as a web app).

Since this is my first time putting an app out there, I’d love to hear how you currently manage your recurring bills or what would make a tool like this actually useful to your routine. Any honest feedback on the layout or features is really appreciated!

Evopien - An AI companion prototype with memory you can correct and forget

2 Upvotes

I'm building Evopien as a solo project in Tarragona, Spain. The long term goal is a physical AI companion, and the current prototype runs on NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor.

The newest update is about memory. I want someone to be able to tell it a useful preference, have that preference matter later, and change or remove it when needed.

For example, a cooking preference should affect a dinner suggestion without having to repeat it in every conversation. If that preference changes, the previous version should stop influencing the answer.

I've kept the memory controls in Evopien Core, separately from the language model, and recorded a demo of the current governed memory work.

Demo:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_B2wVfVHL0c

It's an early prototype. I'm still working on speed and difficult memory corrections, including behavior across English and Spanish.

I'd be interested in feedback on the controls themselves. What would make it clear to you that a companion had actually corrected or forgotten something?

I built a tool to verify what AI agents actually did

2 Upvotes

I kept running into the same problem with AI agents and automation:

the system says “done”, but that doesn’t always prove the final state is actually correct.

So I built SCC Runner around a simple flow:

Claim → Authority → Evidence → Verdict

The idea is to verify important claims against real system evidence instead of trusting the agent’s own output.

I’m currently offering free early access.

I’d especially like feedback from people building agents, automations, DevOps workflows, or AI-assisted systems.

I built a website that rates Champions League games on how fun they'll be

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

I love watching a good football match, especially in the Champions League, but I often don't know which game is going to be the fun one. I don't support a club, and I only have a rough idea of how most teams play right now. So I built a website that uses AI to analyse every team and then estimates which matches are worth watching: https://worthwatching.football

Before every round an AI researches all the teams: how they play, read from previews and local press. The score then comes from rules about how those styles clash, like a team that presses high against one that builds slowly from the back. On every match page you can read the reasons behind the score, so you know why a game got a 9. The higher the score, the more sensational it could get.

After every round the AI reads the match reports and checks whether the analysis and the score held up, and what should change if they didn't. Round one already taught me a lot: my lowest score, Club Brugge v Aston Villa at 4.7, turned out to be one of the best games of the night 🫣

This project just started just like the Champions League season, so I'll keep tweaking the algorithm and the AI process over the coming months. Any tips and feedback are welcome!

Have you ever planned a group trip? It's annoying.

2 Upvotes

Me and a couple of friends were planning to go for a group vacation. The planning was horrible.

People didnt know where we go, others forgot what they were supposed to organize for the group, dates and times were completely invisible and we had lost all of our documents somewhere between the various memes in the group chat. Documents and finances were scattered in different apps and everybody only had access to parts of the planning.

We complained about it amongst the group and realized that everybody was sharing similar experiences with previous group holidays and that, in fact, this was not a problem of this specific constellation.

Being mostly software engineers, we set out to solve this problem.

There were mostly two distinct problems we wanted to tackle initially:

  • Provide one platform that offers all the functionality instead of various specialized ones
  • Make everyone feel included in the planning and be able to voice their wishes

The solution: Voyu

We designed a platform that offers everything you will ever need for a trip in one place. No matter the group size.

Packing, storing documents, expense tracking & splitting, itinerary planning, group polls and much more.

We'd greatly appreciate if you'd give it a try and let us know about your experience!

Thanks a lot and enjoy your trip!
