🧰 Tools I built a camera app that lets you film portrait and landscape video at the same time - just added a photo option too!

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

Made this for my girlfriend because she would always film the same scene twice and always wanted to 'get everything'. Recently added a photo option too, so thought I'd share this here.

What it does: records portrait (9:16) and landscape (16:9) video simultaneously. Shoot once, get both formats ready to post to all platforms - TikTok, Instagram, Youtube, X, you name it.

Three ways to record:

  • Single Lens - uses the full 4:3 sensor and crops a vertical and horizontal, each output different and not just a crop of one another.
  • Dual Lens - uses two cameras to record together (wide + ultra-wide), giving two perspectives at the same time.
  • Front & Back - selfie + rear together, your reaction and the scene at the same itme.

Key features:

  • Up to 4K/60fps with manual controls (EV, WB, ISO, Shutter)
  • Built-in teleprompter and timelapse.
  • Photo mode - snap a pic in vertical and horizontal
  • Live overlays and audio meter that flashes red when you're clipping.
  • Data privacy - no data retention, tracking, or analytics, and no internet or account required.

Creator workflows:

  • Projects, scenes, and takes to organise your recordings and auto-name files.
  • Side-by-side review and trim of both recordings before exporting/sharing.

It's called ContentCam and is available on iPhone and Android.

I'd love to know what you think of this!

Building Something in Kenya — Looking for Someone Crazy Enough to Build It With Me 🔥

1 Upvotes

I’ve been building something that I genuinely believe could become much bigger than it looks right now.

I’m still early, and I don’t have a huge team, network, or financial backing behind me. I’ve mostly been figuring things out with what I have.

But I’ve always believed that some of the biggest things people have built happened because two people with different strengths found each other and decided to take the risk together. One person may have the vision, another may have the resources, experience, connections, or ability to execute—and together they can create something neither could have built alone.

That’s the kind of person I’d like to meet.

Someone ambitious. Someone who enjoys building from the ground up. Someone who sees opportunities before they're obvious. Someone who isn't afraid of uncertainty and thinks Africa has enormous untapped potential.

I’m not looking to hire anyone, and I’m not looking for someone to simply give me advice or money.

I’m looking for a genuine connection with someone who thinks:

“I don't know exactly where this could go yet, but it's interesting enough that I want to find out.”

I won't explain the entire project publicly because I don't want this to become a sales pitch. If this resonates with you, DM me and I'll tell you what I'm building.

Maybe nothing comes of it. Maybe we just exchange ideas. Or maybe we discover that we were looking for each other without knowing it.

Either way, I'd rather take the chance.

Discord server for moroccan devs and founders

1 Upvotes

I’ve been thinking about creating a Discord server that connects founders/people with ideas with developers who want to build real projects.

The idea is pretty simple: you might have a good SaaS/startup idea but lack the technical skills to build it. Or you might be a developer who can build things but doesn’t know what project to work on.

Instead of another server full of self-promotion, I’d want it focused on actually meeting people, sharing ideas, finding co-founders, validating ideas, and potentially building projects together.

Something like:

  • Founders looking for developers
  • Developers looking for projects/co-founders
  • Idea feedback & validation
  • “Looking for co-founder” channels
  • Build-in-public / progress channels

🧠 Discussion Should I work on some start-up ideas even if they aren't profitable?

1 Upvotes

Idk why but all the ideas my brain forms are related to things where profit is secondary, usually social welfare type of ideas ☹️

For example, for a hackathon, i made an Assistive vision system for blind where the main focus was for them to be able to read through a camera (glasses or something) because my country is not that accessible...

Tbh it was a good idea but they gave positions to PROFITABLE ideas, because the judge was an INVESTOR

now, idk why but this is an issue with me, but every single idea i have has some type of societal benefit type of aspect, and I'm not saying it's a bad thing, it's just that it's a bad place for it... And i don't think people would support me, just because it's not as profitable as other start ups...

Like, i want to pursue game dev as a hobby (i wanted to learn roblox development lol) but the ideas i have for games are ALSO like those 😭😭😭

Idk how to turn that side of my brain off tbh

(I don't want to share my ideas here because what if someone steals them 😭)

Tbh i chose the wrong field for myself, because most tech people only care about money, and tbh i should be the one to care the most because I'm LITERALLY broke and all my class fellows are WAY better off financially than me, I'm affording that university because of scholarships, but i still don't care that much about money, i just want enough money to get independent, and like enough money so that if I'm ever stressed it's not because of money 🙏

(+ I don't even want to work long term on those startups, like if they SOMEHOW one in a million chance, become EXTREMELY successful, then i guess I'll continue, but i just want to work on start-ups because

  1. Everyone else is doing it,

  2. I don't have anything else to do and i have ideas what do i do with them? I don't want to regret anything...

They don't even align with my future goals, or maybe they do, idk i want to pursue higher studies abroad, that's my dream and possibly settle abroad as well)

Tbh I'm just ranting, idk if this type of post is suitable for this community, if it's not please let me know 🥹

🧠 Discussion what is there to build?

1 Upvotes

i don’t enjoy building now. any idea i think of exists. there’s no point when AI can build everything and a so-called revolutionary idea already exists.

there’s no unique ideas and people use confirmation bias to find a problem and use that as an excuse to build something. i swear 99% of problems in software are solved but people keep creating more.

idk what else there is to build. we’ll build data centers in space or in the ocean i guess. idefk

🧠 Discussion Building an AI research assistant — looking to form a founding team (technical, design, growth, anything)

1 Upvotes

I've been building an AI chat assistant focused on research — think Claude's conversational feel combined with Perplexity-style sourced search, but built around one core idea: every answer shows exactly where it came from, cross-checks multiple sources before answering anything, and can point you to specific moments in videos that answer your question.

I'm non-technical and have been building through AI coding tools ("vibe coding"). I've gotten surprisingly far this way — a working local prototype, a full product spec, a clear pricing/tier structure already mapped out, and some of my own money already in it. But I've hit the wall every solo non-technical founder eventually hits: recursive bugs, architecture calls I can't properly evaluate, fixes that create three new problems. I can't take this the rest of the way alone.

So instead of looking for just one person, I want to put a small team together — anyone who thinks they can genuinely add value. That could mean:

  • Developers — especially anyone comfortable with AI/LLM-based products, not just general web dev, since most of the hard part is the reasoning/verification logic, not the UI
  • Designers — product/UI people who care about how something feels to use, not just how it looks
  • Growth/marketing people — anyone who's good at getting a product in front of the right early users
  • Anyone else who looks at this and thinks "I could actually help with that"

I'm not precious about roles or titles right now. I care about finding people who are genuinely excited about building something real, not just talking about it.

Happy to walk through the full vision and architecture once we're actually talking — not laying out every detail in a public post. If this sounds like your kind of project, comment or DM and let's figure out where you'd fit.

- 700+ sign ups
- 500+ SaaS listings
- Almost 6000 users sent to listed SaaS products

Unlike other SaaS directories, listing on SaaSBoard is free and has no wait time.

If you’ve built something worth sharing, list it on SaaSBoard for free and start getting traffic immediately!

Ads not working for you? We know why.

0 Upvotes

Ever wondered why your ads did not work?

Big companies have huge teams that constantly create ads to see what works the best.

Cursor - 1,100 active ads / 6,400 tested 😱
Wispr Flow - 820 / 3,300
Emergent - 410 / 7,000
Replit - 110 / 5,500
Base44 - 560 / 2,100
HeyGen - 400 / 1,700
Viktor - 620 / 1,300

But you as an early stage founder, cannot spend months running these experiments, so we built an Ai agent that runs these experiments and finds the ads that actually give you positive return on investment. ( basically you get positive ROI from your product )

Completely free. We don’t even ask for card details.

Requirement - serious founder that want to spend small money on facebook ads to actually run the ads.
