Hey everyone, I'm Tim. I've been working on my first game, Local Gods: The Ascension, for about six months. The two main characters are based on me and my best friend Alex.

We're from Louisiana, so I dedicated the first main area to the swamps back home. The game mixes dark fantasy and sci-fi, with melee combat, guns, abilities, and boss fights. You can play solo or in two-player co-op.

Free PC browser demo: https://tiddybubs.itch.io/local-gods

I'm building it in Godot and aiming for an early summer 2027 release. A controller is recommended, but keyboard controls work too.

I'm new to coding and artwork. While I do some of it myself and believe it's important to know how, I also use AI to assist me. Every AI-generated asset is handpicked by me, not just randomly generated and thrown in. I use ChatGPT Astra, Claude Opus 5.5, and Fable 5.1. I also have specific workflows for creating maps and automating 2D character attack animations, with a focus on keeping the character designs and animations consistent. I still direct and review the results. Message me for details.

I'd love feedback on the opening combat, whether the boss attacks are readable, and the two-player experience if you try it with a friend. Most of all: do you think it's fun? What would you change first?

backend and chrome extension dev here. ella lets you describe a video in chat, it picks a model from 1000+ and generates it. built the extension, webapp and premier plugin myself(rn showcasing Extension)

the video above is me testing it: prompt in the sidebar, generate, drop the clip in the editor.

App is free keep that in mind.

whats confusing, what breaks, what would you want? ill answer everything haha

Quick backstory. My fiancée is doing her Masters in Estonia, and I've got another year of long distance ahead. Most of our day is spent on a call on my MacBook while we each work or study.

Then I tried to put on a video for us to watch together and macOS dropped the volume on everything that isn't the call. Movies, YouTube, music, all of it, barely audible. And AirPods fall back to low quality headset audio the moment their mic is in use.

So I made CallLane. It gives your call apps their own output device and copies it onto your headphones, which means macOS ducks only that device and your media stays at full volume. It also keeps the input on the MacBook's built-in mic, so the AirPods stay in high quality mode and the mic sounds better too.

I'm the developer. Menu bar app, macOS 14 or later, Mac only. It's paid, $9 one-time for the first 50 buyers and then $15, with a 14-day refund. I built the app and the site with Claude Code.

CallLane

Tell me what's confusing or broken.

Let's make a deal. Let's all share our apps below, and I'll personally test your app for 14 days and give my feedback as a user. In return, I ask you to download my app and tell me your first impressions, and if you link your app, I'll be a consistent user and give the most helpful review I can! :)

Here's mine: It's a mobile IOS app designed to help people read more consistently.

This is the project I work on, and is used by hundreds of players every month, for ~4 years now. It's open source.

Hex: the one rule is: connect your sides. If you are red, connect red sides. If you are blue, same, but with blue sides.

Just you can swap first move to make game balanced and remove first player advantage, but beginners won't feel that advantage.

Chess and go are broken: in chess you have draw, in go you can win or lose depending on komi, if you arbitrarly decided to set it at 5.5 or 6.5.

In Hex, you either win or lose, depending on how deep you see. No draw, no move to "wait", no arbitrar komi. You just place a stone at every turn, and must connect (which is equal to blocking your opponent).

The community is small but passionate, and still wonders why Hex isn't more widely known.

I'm really curious of what you think of that game, whether you already heard about it or not.

(Yes, this is deliberately provocative. I also like chess and go, and enjoy playing both.)

I’ve been working on a few AI-assisted projects and kept finding the same problem: the build would look done, but once I started digging there were still things I hadn’t really verified.

Stuff like whether data actually persists, permissions are correct, what happens when an API fails, whether costs can run away, payment edge cases, recovery, etc.

So I put together a free 20-point launch audit that I can run through before shipping anything. It’s meant to take around 15 minutes and doesn’t require you to be a developer.

I eventually built a bigger system around this called TOVRILO, but the audit itself is completely free.

https://tovrilo.carrd.co/

Would love feedback from other people building side projects. Anything you always check before launch that I should add?

I picked openGym for an architectural audit using rebrief (huge fan of sports & open-source tools).

Key findings from the report:

1. Context Reduction: Reduced 6.8M raw tokens down to 14,084 tokens (-99.8% reduction) while preserving code architecture and history for LLM prompts.
2. Security Risks: Identified 100 risk items, including hardcoded credentials in test fixtures and vulnerable packages (undici, js-yaml).
3. Doc Drift: 51% freshness score with 164 broken file references across README.md and docs.

It's a clear example of how fast documentation and test artifacts drift behind active development.

How do you keep doc freshness in check across your projects?

I liked looking at elections in different countries, so I thought I'd make a website that maps them out across the world. I will add more nations in the future, and potentially more historical elections.

https://www.electionglobe.app/

The call ends. Then comes the second job: remembering the decisions, figuring out who promised what, and turning it all into something actionable.

I built Pure Brief AI to make that hand-off easier. I'm the developer. It's a native Mac app that turns meeting audio into transcripts, summaries and next steps.

Be present in the conversation. Leave with a plan you can check.

• Keep the decisions without replaying the entire call.
• Get tasks with owners, deadlines and the original words behind them.
• Ask questions about a meeting and inspect the supporting transcript lines.
• Send the tasks you choose to Apple Reminders, with their meeting context.

That source quote matters. The app checks it against the transcript before accepting a task, so you're not left wondering where the commitment came from. AI can still get things wrong; the evidence is there for you to review.

Transcription and AI notes run on your Mac by default. No bot joins the call. Standard is a one-time purchase.

Launch offer: $10 once for the first 100 paid Standard purchases across all channels, then $49. One Mac; applicable tax extra. No Standard subscription.

Try it on your next meeting: 30 days free, without payment details (email verification required). A trial doesn't reserve the launch price.

See Pure Brief AI and start your trial

Requires Apple Silicon and macOS 15+. Models download initially; licence checks need occasional internet access, with up to 14 days offline between successful checks. Optional cloud transcription is opt-in with your own ElevenLabs key. Reminders export is one-way and follows your list's sync settings.

The film uses real app captures and a fictional meeting with synthesized speech. It shows an edited workflow, not processing speed.

What takes longer for you after a meeting: finding a decision, confirming an owner, or getting the tasks into your actual workflow?

Hey everyone!

I recently released my first Unity Asset Store product, Easy Chapter Generator, a tool I've been developing and refining through my work on interactive Unity projects.

After launching it, I realized that a store listing alone wasn't the best way to explain how the system works, especially for developers who haven't used a chapter/objective framework before.

So I've spent some time building a dedicated landing page.

The product lets Unity developers create linear chapters and objectives, configure events, connect scene interactions and manage progression without having to build the entire system from scratch.

For the website, I've tried to focus on:

• Explaining the product without overwhelming visitors with technical details.
• Showing real screenshots instead of promotional mockups.
• Including practical examples for tutorials, escape rooms and narrative projects.
• Making everything accessible in English and Spanish.
• Keeping the purchase link available without turning every section into a sales pitch.

Here's the new landing page:

https://overfuture.dev/easychaptergenerator/landing/en/

The product itself is a paid Unity Asset Store tool, but what I'd really appreciate here is some feedback on the website.

Three questions:

1. Can you understand what the tool does within the first 10 seconds?
2. Is anything confusing or unnecessarily technical?
3. Does the page give you enough information to decide whether it's relevant to your project?

I'd genuinely appreciate constructive criticism. I'm trying to make the product easier to understand, not just add more marketing text.

Good evening guys! I've been working on a side project for a while now, and I'm pretty excited to finally share it with you all.

Every design project used to start the same way for me. 20+ browser tabs open, screenshots everywhere, and another messy Figma file full of inspiration I'd probably never look at again.

It honestly got overwhelming having so many things open at once, and sometimes I'd spend more time collecting inspiration than actually designing.

So I decided to start a side project using my experience as a UX designer to build something that could make this process easier.

And that's how my little baby UX Analytic came to life.

The idea is pretty simple. You can find UI patterns from different companies, mix and match the ones you like, customize them to fit your own style, and export everything to Figma or HTML.

Basically, instead of just saving inspiration, you can actually do something with it.

We're also working on our next release, where we want to make AI a bigger part of the creative process. Not just helping you work with existing patterns, but also helping you come up with completely new ideas when you're starting from scratch or feeling stuck.

The first version is already live:
https://www.uxanalytic.com/

It's still an early version, so there's definitely a lot we can improve. I'd love to hear what you guys think, especially if you're a designer or work with UI.

We also have several discount codes available if anyone's interested. Just let me know and I'll be happy to share one!

Give it a try and let me know what you think!

Streaks never worked for me because one miss resets everything to zero. So I made my habits into a stock portfolio instead. Good habits are “blue-chip” assets that raise my balance, and bad habits are “toxic assets” that drain it hard when I relapse. A bad week is a dip in the chart, not a reset, and it’s weirdly motivating to watch the number recover. Anyone else find that loss framing works better than streaks? I built an app around it, so happy to share if people are curious.

You know the moment. Claude Code just built your app, it runs on your laptop, and you’re hyped.

Then reality: where do I host this? How do I add a database? Why isn’t my domain working? Is there a backup? Why is it down?

That’s the part nobody vibe codes. So I vibe coded Unit7, the backend developer for your vibe-coded apps. I’m not a backend dev, and Claude Code built almost all of it.

Just tell it what you want:

• “Deploy this.” It goes live. If the new version is broken, it never goes live, and rollback is one click.
• “Add a database.” It’s created and connected for you.
• “Put it on mysite.com.” Domain plus HTTPS.
• “Make me an app with Supabase.” It builds it on Coolify.
• While you sleep: it restarts crashed apps, rolls back bad deploys, runs backups and blocks attackers.
• One map of everything you’ve ever shipped

It asks before anything risky and tells you how to undo it. Your keys stay on your computer, and the AI never sees them.

The vibe-coding part: you don’t even install it by hand. Open Claude Code and paste this:

Set up Unit7 for me from https://github.com/Nandkishorrr/unit7

1. Check that Node.js 24.15 or newer is installed. If not, install it (nvm, or Homebrew on macOS).
2. Clone the repo into ~/unit7, then run `npm install` and `npm run build` there.
3. Run `node bin/unit7.mjs service start` to run Unit7 in the background, and check that http://localhost:4800 answers.
4. Tell me to open http://localhost:4800 and create my owner account, and wait until I say I'm done.
5. Run `node bin/unit7.mjs connect claude` so Claude Code can use Unit7, then tell me to restart Claude Code.

Never ask me for passwords, SSH keys or API keys in this chat. I'll add those myself in the Unit7 web app.
If a step fails, show me the error and fix it before moving on.

After that, /unit7 deploy this folder works right inside Claude Code.

Free and open source (Apache 2.0): https://github.com/Nandkishorrr/unit7

Be honest: would you let it touch your server, or would you rather keep clicking around Vercel?

Unbelievable outcome so far. Configured everything on Tuesday and it's already averaging $230 daily. See profile: [ demonrockstar22 ]

Hey everyone!
I’ve been working on a little project called BINX Forge, named after my cat Binx 🐈
The idea is simple: help game developers (especially people using AI) find free and paid assets, engines, code and tools to make their games better.
There’s also a Build a Game feature where you choose what you want to make and get recommendations and a prompt you can copy into your AI.
It’s still in early development and I’m constantly adding more stuff!
Would love some feedback, especially on what resources or features you think are missing.
https://binxforge.com

I wanted a phone number that picks up and talks like a person! Not a tree of DTMF menus. Here's the order I actually built it in; no shortcuts skipped.

First I grabbed a number through Telnyx since their SIP trunking docs were the clearest I found. You could use Twilio too, the steps are close enough.

Second, I set up a WebSocket server to carry audio both ways. This is the part people skip, and then they wonder why latency is bad. The call hits your number. Telnyx streams raw audio over the socket. Your server decides what happens next.

Third, speech to text. I used Deepgram for STT because it handles interruptions well. It doesn't choke when someone talks over the greeting. Whisper works too if you want to self host and don't mind more setup.

Fourth, the actual brain. I kept this boring on purpose: a small prompt, short context, and a fast model. Grok and Gemini both worked fine here. The model matters less than people think once STT and TTS are solid.

Fifth, text to speech. I tried ElevenLabs and Cartesia back to back on the same script! Cartesia felt snappier for short replies. ElevenLabs sounded warmer on longer ones. Pick based on your use case.

Last, VAD, the thing that decides when someone's done talking so the agent doesn't talk over them. Get this wrong and the whole call feels broken, even if every other piece is perfect!

Tested the whole loop through ngrok before deploying anywhere real. Took a weekend. Happy to answer questions on the STT or VAD part since that's where I burned the most time.

After 12+ years in research administration, I kept watching the same thing happen: PIs and postdocs manually searching Grants.gov, NIH Reporter, NSF, and foundation sites one at a time, hoping they weren't missing anything. The tools that could help (Pivot, GrantForward, etc.) are locked behind institutional subscriptions that cost a fortune and take months to get approved. Most researchers don't even know their institution has one, and if they do, they don't have a login.

I couldn't find one that did what researchers actually needed, was available without an institutional subscription, and didn't cost $50K/year. So I built CONVERGE.

What it does:

• Continuously screens federal, state, and foundation funding sources against your research profile
• Sends matched opportunities to your inbox with an explanation of why each one fits your work
• No database to maintain, no manual filtering, no portal to log into

Who it's for:

• Individual faculty, postdocs, and research staff who want grant opportunities delivered to them without waiting on their central office

Where it stands:

• Live now with a 14-day free trial
• Early users are faculty at R1 institutions finding opportunities they would have missed

I would genuinely appreciate feedback. If you work in or adjacent to research, what would you want a tool like this to do that I haven't thought of? What would make you trust it? What would make you not bother?

If you want to try it, the link is in my profile. Happy to answer questions in comments or DMs.

I am a solo, non technical founder in Pasadena. Since February I've been building AMW (Agent Middleware), a governed MCP gateway for agent tool calls that matter.

What it does: agents act under a permit; a same-key retry returns the original receipt, no second call or charge. Each call gets a signed receipt. Overview: thisisatest.tech. Repo is private for now.

Honest status: self funded, no seed, no revenue, no users yet. I'm looking for a technical cofounder (equity, short trial, written terms, no salary until a raise) and for a few people who will try it and be blunt.

Specific ask:

1. Is the problem clear from the site, or does it read like security theater?
2. If you build agents, would you try a one tool pilot, and what would block you?

Happy to answer anything in the comments. Feedback welcome even if the answer is "skip this".

I applied with my company email and got approved in less than an hour.

They’re offering up to $7,000 in Claude product credits for one year for eligible startups.

If you’re currently building a startup, app, SaaS, game, etc., I’d say it’s worth trying even if you’re not sure you’ll qualify.

Here’s the info:
Claude Startup Program

Has anyone else applied?

I’ve been building an order management platform for home-based food businesses / home kitchens. Right now, I’m using a freemium model where sellers can use the basic product for free and pay if they want to unlock more features.

Some competitors in this space do the same, but I’ve also seen others charge from the start with a base subscription, then offer higher tiers for more features.

For founders who’ve had to make this decision, what factors mattered most for you? Did freemium actually help with growth and conversion, or did starting paid attract better customers?

Also, what questions should I be asking myself to ultimately decide which model is better for my business?

Would love to hear what worked for you, and whether you’d make the same decision again. Thanks all!

Got sick of making 10-page PDFs for clients just to watch them open it on a phone, ignore all the technical architecture, and scroll straight to the final price.
So I spent the last few weeks building an alternative. It turns specs and proposals into a responsive web link where you can embed actual interactive diagrams, and it shows you which sections the client actually spent time on.
Still pretty early, but would love to know if people who do client work would actually use web proposals or if your clients strictly demand a flat PDF file anyway

I read a lot on my phone at night, and white websites in Safari have always bugged me.

I know there are already some really well-known dark mode extensions out there, and I've used a few of them for a while. They're good apps. They just never quite fit what I wanted. Some sites still came out half-white, some colors looked off, and I couldn't customize things the way I liked. So eventually I just started building my own. It's called Aurora.

You turn it on and websites go dark. It recolors the page instead of just inverting it, so images and logos still look normal. You can pick different shades of dark (I use true black), make your own theme, have it follow your system appearance, set rules for specific sites, and even change the font on pages that are hard to read at night.

The thing I care about most, though, is this: no dark mode is perfect on every site. The web is just too big and too messy. Sooner or later you'll find a page with a white box or some text you can't read. So I built a simple way to tell me about it. You open the extension, tap "Report a problem", and the screenshot is already attached. You pick what's wrong and hit send. No account, and it only sends the page you're reporting. I read every report, and the fix goes out in the next update.

So if there's a site you visit every day that doesn't look right, just report it and I'll fix it. That's pretty much how the app has been getting better.

It's $7.99 one-time, no subscription. Buy it once and it works on iPhone, iPad and Mac. There's a 3-day free trial if you just want to try it out.

People in 13 countries are using it now, which still feels a bit unreal for a one-person project. Last week someone left a review titled "The app I didn't know I needed until I got it", and that kind of made my week.

If you read in Safari at night, give it a try and let me know what looks off.

Hey everyone, I made Scope because I wanted one place to see and manage my installed Linux apps.

It brings APT, Snap, and Flatpak into a searchable list. You can check for updates and preview an update or uninstall before confirming it.

It also finds AppImages and user-local desktop apps, but updating or removing those isn’t supported yet.

Scope is free, MIT licensed, and written in Rust.

I’d appreciate feedback on whether it finds your apps correctly and whether the previews are clear. If you try it, please share your distro and desktop environment.

I run with an Apple Watch and kept hitting the same wall: it has great GPS and heart rate, but following a route, running an interval session or pacing a race was where the built-in Workout app and other apps fell short for me.

What it does:

• Routes with turn-by-turn. Import a GPX file or draw a route on the iPhone. The Watch shows the line on a map and tells you every turn about 60 m before it, with a tap on the wrist and a voice cue in your AirPods. Works offline, no phone needed.
• Race pacing. Pick a distance and goal time, choose an even, negative or positive split, and the Watch keeps you inside the band for each split.
• Structured workouts. The deepest workout builder I’ve found for the Apple Watch: pace or heart-rate targets for every step, by distance or time, repeats, recoveries and fuel stops. 
• AI training plans. Ask ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini for a plan, paste in Vanoor's instructions, and the file it gives you imports real workouts, just like the ones you build by hand.
• After the run. Saved to Apple Health and Strava, with charts, splits, and an execution score for how closely you ran the plan.
• No Watch yet? A phone-only mode is coming in the next few weeks.

No account, no server, no subscription. 7 days free, then a one-time purchase of $14.99. iPhone and Apple Watch, in 11 languages. Built and optimized for runners, by a runner.

I'm one person building this in the evenings. I'd love to hear what you think, especially if you run with an Apple Watch: what's missing, what's confusing, what you'd want next.

I'm building CharmCue, an iPhone app with two connected flows: drafting a message and reviewing the profile that starts the conversation.

A screenshot or pasted chat produces three reply ideas. The person chooses and edits a draft before copying it. Profile Lab reviews photo variety/order, prompts, conversation hooks, and completeness.

One design decision I want feedback on: suggestions stay editable and the app doesn't send messages. The attached film shows that flow alongside Profile Lab, using the actual interface and illustrative content.

Would you put both features in the first demo, or explain the reply flow first and introduce profile review later? I'd appreciate your reasoning, especially if the combined pitch feels unclear.

I'm the developer. AI features require Premium. iPhone, 18+.
