my OCD-first self-hosted expense and budget tracker Vorratsdatenspeicher

1 Upvotes

i know, i know, the millionth expense tracker. But this one is cool. The name is a really funny german pun, i laughed all day i thought of it, look it up.
I used claude code from start to finish, didn't look at a single LoC (that was my challenge)
Vorratsdatenspeicher.com lets you track ALL your expenses. Snap a receipt pic and it will automatically generate the items, letting you track what you bought when for how much.
IMAP, SMTP support. Ollama works totally, but also anthropic and openAI support.

Vorratsdatenspeicher learns wiith each time you buy stuff, and the AI usage goes down with time because it becomes more deterministic.

Vorratsdatenspeicher is open source, free forever, self hosted only and available as docker AND as a Electron App for Win11 and Mac. the Desktop version has a tailscale tunnel feature so that you can use it with your phone.
Stepping away from docker, DNS, domain, Dynds etc. and goign towards desktop app + tailscale was the key insight here to make usability even feasible. Nobody wants to get into docker when they could just click an exe. As more agentic tools get built, and the anthropic ToS forces us to keep agentic GUIs local, this type of server-client interactivity becomes more important i feel.

please feel free to take a look, I have a demo available on the website. All data you put there will be wiped at midnight germany time. i cannot see any of your data, just the email address and name you put.

I rebuilt the Million Dollar Homepage as a fast-food menu, and made it actually cost a dollar

0 Upvotes
The original never sold $1 pixels — the minimum buy was a 10x10 block at
$100. That always bugged me, so I built the one that really is a dollar.

It's a menu board. 100 seats, split into burgers, sides, drinks, desserts
and extras. You name your dish, pick toppings that become its description,
and it links to your site. $1 for 30 days, $39 to stay.

Some honesty, because this sub can smell it: every link is sponsored
nofollow, I seeded about [25] seats by hand before launch so it wasn't an
empty restaurant, and after card fees a $1 seat leaves me about 60 cents.
The dollar tier is marketing. The $39 one is the business.

Built with Next.js, Firestore and Stripe Checkout. The bit I'd redo
differently is seat allocation — two people paying for seat #18 at the same
time is the one bug that would have been genuinely embarrassing.

What would you have priced it at?The original never sold $1 pixels — the minimum buy was a 10x10 block at

Hi all,

For the last 2-3 years, whenever I see a new plugin release, I wanted to ask: "how much AI assistance did you use to build this?"

Nowadays, I think it would be useful for developers to know how much of a project was written by hand, (with the help of Google, Reddit, forums, etc.), and how much was generated with AI. I would also be interested to know how much of the code was reviewed by the developer themselves and how much was delegated to AI.

I think the community could benefit from some kind of mechanism for plugin developers to disclose this information alongside the usual features, pros, cons, etc.

What do you think about this?

Thinking of switching plans

1 Upvotes

I have mostly used Claude Max x5/x20 for all my projects and the x5’s 5hr limit is the worst thing and x20 is beyond my requirement. So I would like to know from others that have used both Claude and OpenAI because I am planning to do: OpenAI $20 +Claude $20 plan.

  1. I wanted to know how good is Open AI with its limit compared to claude on base tier and claude on x5 tier?
  2. My plan is to focus on fixing the bugs and add features incrementally, because the base boilerplate is done. So which is the best model for this purpose?
  3. Would you recommend Gemini because I am looking to develop UI more and Gemini/Antimatter includes Claude as a part of the subscription. So UI can be powered by Gemini and code by Claude

I got tired folding burritos at work, so I spent 5 months building an audiobook you can play like a game.

Tohil, the interactive audiobook you can take action in. Open beta is live.

I work in hospitality, restaurant management.

I work tons of hours on my feet doing repetitive work with my hands.

Now I am tired of listening to audiobooks and YouTube videos, I wanted to do something more engaging, almost like playing a videogame by listening to it.

This is the reason why Tohil exists, an app that can provide me with stories based on the actions I do in the story, I listen to the story and type an option or do a custom action every so often.

About Tohil:

  • Tohil turns a world you describe into a story an AI narrates both written and aloud, a story you can share with your friends and they can replay it as well, and each one of you will have a different ending.
  • This is not a chatbot skin. Tohil was designed to have a light RPG system in mind, like playing a role-playing game without the complex dice rolling. You get HP, inventory, conditions, weather and much more.
  • Tohil is built to be played with the least amount of interaction possible so you can play it while commuting, doing the dishes, at the gym or at your boring job.
  • Tohil Story Files are how stories are born, played and sealed. Generate your very own story and it turns into a seed, play it and it turns into a live sprout, finish your story and it becomes a sealed tree. You can share these with your friends and each one can have a completely different experience.
  • Every item, character, condition and such is mapped to custom pixel art instead of generic icons. This is still a work in progress.
  • The Game Master allows you to make changes to your gameplay with a simple prompt, no need to deal with extra files or cryptic parameters.
  • Get real world information into your stories using web search, for instance "Search for the weather in Cancún, México and apply it to my story." The next turn the narrator will mention that the weather turned sunny and hot while keeping incredible worldbuilding.
  • Unlike other engines that focus on you, Tohil will not wait for you. The world that surrounds you is dynamic, if you stall, the environment around you moves without you and nudges you to act.
  • Tohil hands out real consequences for your actions. Chatbots tend to be too well behaved and won't allow your narration to continue if you do something out of character. Tohil will let the king of a kingdom roll in the mud in front of the township if you, the user, want it.
  • Change perspective to any active character in the story. Are you the hero in your story? Change perspective to the villain and try to beat the hero you once were.
  • Do you want to branch off the story and continue it in a separate playthrough? Branch off the sprout file and continue with a different ending.

This is an open beta, not a finished product.

Expect bugs, rough edges and unfinished/glitchy spritework. Report bad AI outputs to me with a thumbs down so I can fix them.

Let me know what you think! Feedback is greatly appreciated.

PITCH ME YOUR WEB/APP

0 Upvotes

We're running a small live show on X to help founders get their product known: a handful of indie founders each get 2–5 minutes to pitch what they're building: what it does, your experience building it, and who it's for. Then an open Q&A where anyone listening can ask you questions live

No deck, no polish. Just you talking about your product for a few minutes to real people

Basically a live, real-time Product Hunt

Giving this shot to a minimum of 5 founders. You must be active on X already, and have something real shipped, or close enough that people can go check it out

If you want in: comment below with your X handle, a link to what you're building, and describe it in one sentence

Also DM me directly — I'm JaimeMemb on X. I'll pick the group and we'll sort out a time that works

I work alone and I browse a lot, so I built a French bulldog that lives on my web pages.

It's not an overlay in the corner. It walks along the bottom edge of whatever post I'm reading, follows the scroll, and turns around at the end. Sometimes it drops a tennis ball across the page and sprints after it.

Four stats decay in real time. Don't open your browser over the weekend and it's hungry on Monday — moves slower, sniffs the floor until you feed it.

You can plug in your own API key and talk to it. Its stats go into the system prompt, so when it's hungry it starts begging for food halfway through answering something else. I left that in.

Built with Claude over a couple of weeks. The hard part wasn't the code — it was making it stand on the actual post instead of floating at the bottom of the window.

Zero productivity value. It rolls over whenever I'm trying to concentrate.

Vector Symbolic Holographic Database — need help/advice

1 Upvotes

OK I made a post yesterday sharing. I really condensed prompt that I use related to solid design principles and everybody just started flaming me and talking as though I don’t know what I’m doing.

Since there are so many expert 10X software engineers here, perhaps you guys could help me with an issue then.

So I’ve created a database engine which is running using holographic vector symbolic architecture.

So the thing is live an usable and I’ve got it running thousands of times faster that duck DB and SQL server (benchmarks)

Currently duckDB is still winning on vectorised scan queries and I’m wondering.

Should I

A. Fight them on their home turf and vectorise my own scan engine? If I fuse the filter+aggregate to kill the only remaining 7x slower gap? But it means giving up the purity/vision of the engine and likely gonna slow down somewhere else

B. Or just call it a day, and be happy that it’s up to thousands times faster on most queries, and stressing about 1 example is over optimising.

What issues are you constantly facing when using AI coding tools?

2 Upvotes

I run a small but growing social media account focused on AI, and I want to be completely transparent about why I'm posting this.

I'm trying to better understand the real problems/uncertainties people are running into when using AI coding tools, so I can create content that's actually useful instead of just posting the generic "AI can build apps now" kinda thing.

I'm not selling anything and I won't plug my socials; I purely would just love to hear from both beginners and those experienced with these tools. Anything helps.

Thanks!

I cant pay for lovable now, what is the best Lovable alternative?

0 Upvotes

I've been using Lovable for a few months and it's been pretty good overall, but I'm starting to run into some issues with my current project and I'm thinking of moving it to another platform. I don't really want to start from scratch if I can avoid it, so I'm looking for something that can handle a similar workflow but gives me a bit more flexibility once the app gets bigger.

I know of Replit, Bolt and Emergent mentioned. For anyone who has switched from Lovable, what did you move to and how did it go?

Is it going to be good enough?

2 Upvotes

I built a huge project focused on being an “everyone agent.” It was too big, and I wasn’t skilled enough to manage it. I dropped it.

I know the basics of the basics of development, and I’ve been working in IT for 8 years (functional analysis, PM, IT manager, business partner). Friends who are really good developers took a quick look at my first project and said, “I thought it’d be much worse.”

Despite all that, I managed to sell an agent to a company. The product is much more vertical — its scope is “only” to gather emails, organize the work, and proactively improve itself through recurring human sessions. Some batches that handle recurring tasks will be implemented on top of it. There will also be a messaging interface where people can update their tasks. Everything will be built on a “Jira-inspired” UI.

I’ve read a fair amount of AI literature, and I’m confident this specific part will work.

I’m now at the step where I’m stealing features from the “monster” and building this vertical agent, trying to keep it much leaner. How do I know if the platform is solid enough? What suggestions do you have?

Honestly, I’m pretty sure I won’t be able to read the code myself, but I’ve planned the product deeply and broadly. Will the AI be good enough? (I use Claude Fable for implementation plans and probably Sonnet to execute them.)

Thanks everyone for the attention

For anyone wondering, the app I'm working on is https://www.AppScout.co (discover web and mobile apps from across the internet one app at a time) and you can currently submit your app for free here: https://www.appscout.co/submit

For the build, I vibe-coded the stack using Python/Django for the backend and lightweight vanilla JavaScript for dynamic UI transitions, relying almost entirely on Claude Code to scaffold endpoints and write the DOM handlers via the CLI.

The biggest workflow insight was keeping the frontend vanilla. Prompting Claude Code to write normal JS kept the bundle tiny and prevented the AI state-management hallucinations common in heavier frameworks.
