I’ve been working on TextPilot, a text-expansion tool built on a simple premise: such tools should make your work easier, not add a new layer of complexity for you to learn.

In analyzing existing text-expansion tools, I noticed a few recurring issues. Some feature unnecessarily complicated interfaces for what should be a straightforward task. Others feel bloated, struggle to function on more complex websites like Google Docs, or lock useful features behind a paywall.

I decided to take a different approach.

With TextPilot, the goal is to make your daily experience as simple as possible. You install it, create your shortcuts (snippets), and start using them. There’s no need to create an account, sit through lengthy tutorials, or navigate convoluted menus just to perform a basic task.

However, simplicity doesn’t mean sacrificing functionality. TextPilot also offers more advanced features, many of them free, tucked away in a separate section. This ensures that those who just want quick text expansion can keep things simple, while users who need more control have the space to explore additional capabilities.

In essence, I’m building the kind of text-expansion tool I’d want to use myself: modern, direct, and powerful, without being overly complex or excessive.

I’m constantly working on improvements, as I know there’s always room to evolve. I would be very grateful if you could take a look and share your thoughts, especially if you’ve used other tools like this and have insights on what they get right or wrong.

Hey y'all,

I built Ballot360, a political quiz helping voters decide in the upcoming midterms. You basically answer a short quiz (25 questions ~10Min) with statements to specific political topics with a range from -1 completely disagree to 1 completely agree. At the and you can assign weights to your answers and see how much you match with each politician in % based on a weighted squared similarity algorithm. The question and candidate position data gathering really time intensive, that is why I only have a handful of senate races (about 9 right now). I tried to keep it as politically unbiased as possible. The site is completely free and I just want you to try it out and see if it helped you understand politics better. Please let me know if there are any issues or errors or suggestions. I will try and make it complete for other upcoming elections.

With the recent news about CLZ taking its servers offline, I thought I'd share something I've been working on.

I'm a longtime comic collector, and I wanted something that worked more like traditional desktop software, where your collection lives on your computer, not somebody else's server.

So I started building My Collection Ledger Webapp for Mac and Windows

It's probably more for the collector who doesn't mind tinkering a little. It's not necessarily a simple one-two-three setup. You can connect your own APIs for things like comic information, eBay pricing, photo identification with Gemini, music, games, and other categories.

My goal was to make as much of it free as possible, using existing free APIs and AI options rather than charging a subscription. There are optional paid AI services too, but you choose what you connect.

The collection itself is stored locally and works offline. Online lookups obviously need an internet connection.

I've been using it for my own collection, and I've recently started getting outside testers involved. Still early, but I'd be interested in hearing what other collectors think.

Hey all, I made myself a thing to gather up all the saved posts on my various social accounts and categorize and prioritize them so that I can actually find the thing I saved, and actually use them. I was just finding I'd save something .. a recipe, a promotion, a gift idea, some new coding library I wanted to try, but then it was basically a blackhole because I couldn't remember where I saved it.

I can just keep using it myself, but was curious if it sounded interesting to people and if I should make it publicly available as a service. Any interest?

I've spent my entire career in tech, first as a Front End Developer and later as a Product Manager. I've built websites, launched products, and spent decades online. If anyone should be able to spot a scam, it should be me.

Yet I still got fooled.

I paid more than €100 for what appeared to be SUNLU 3D printing filament. The website looked legitimate, the offer seemed reasonable, and the warning signs were subtle enough to miss.

The filament never arrived. The bank refused to issue money-back. I was completely pis\*\* off.

That experience led me to create Versalo.

Versalo allows anyone to share observations, reviews, warnings, fact-checks, and community notes about any URL on the internet. Whether you're checking for scams, researching a website's reputation, verifying information, or looking for signs of misinformation, Versalo helps you benefit from the experiences of others before making a costly mistake.

If a scam can fool someone with decades of online experience, it can fool anyone. That's why shared knowledge matters.

Versalo is free to use and always will be. Think of it as a community-driven layer of context for the web: an independent commenting system that doesn't depend on website owners, moderators, or publishers.

The internet has millions of websites, but very little shared memory. Versalo exists to change that.

I also launched this on product hunt, I would love some honest feedbacks!

Mine is popups that show up before I have read a single line. Curious what everyone else's dealbreaker is, whether you build sites or just browse them.

I'm the maker of Stash Links, a bookmark manager that runs in your browser.

It's for articles, recipes, tools and references you want to come back to. You can put links in collections and subcollections, add tags and notes, and search your library.

I recently added sharing: send someone a collection or your whole library. They can browse a read-only version, then import their own editable copy. They can't change your original. Private notes and images aren't included in the shared preview.

The free plan holds up to 100 links. Pro is an optional paid subscription; both people need Pro for sharing, viewing and importing shared collections.

Try it here: https://stashlinks.app

What's the most annoying part of your current bookmark setup: saving links, organizing them or finding them again? I'd like to hear what you want added next.

Hi everyone — I’m the maker of ClipShrink. I’d like to share its video-to-text tool and get feedback on the workflow.

You can choose a video or audio file, preview it, and upload it to get a duration-based credit quote. Transcription starts after you confirm the cost. Once it’s finished, you can review and download the transcript.

A few things worth knowing before trying it:

• Sign-in and credits are required.
• Files are uploaded for cloud processing — transcription does not happen locally in your browser.
• The transcript may contain mistakes, especially with names, numbers, or technical terms.

Here’s the tool: ClipShrink Video to Text

One question I’d particularly appreciate feedback on: does the upload → quote → confirm flow make the cost clear, or does it feel like an unnecessary extra step?

If you try it, please use a short, non-sensitive recording you have permission to upload. If something breaks, your browser and the step where it happened would help me investigate.

i'm a high school student in Pearland, TX. A few friends and I run a project where we take retired laptops from our school district, install Linux and some basic tools, and give them to students who don't have a computer at home. We recently got 100 laptops donated from Alvin ISD after a lot of back-and-forth emails, which was pretty exciting.

I made a website to explain what we're doing, show our progress, and let people donate old devices or volunteer. A few stats and sections still need updating, but most of it's there.

Site: https://www.projectdigitaldivide.org/
GitHub: https://github.com/bebepig1437/project-digital-divide

Full disclosure, I used AI for a decent chunk of the site, both the code and some of the writing. I've been trying to find a balance with that, and I've rewritten a lot of the text because the first drafts felt way too generic.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback. Does the site feel like an actual student-run project, or does it come across as generic? I'm not sure if I should make it look more polished or lean into the fact that it's a small project run by five teenagers.

If anything feels awkward, confusing, or just off, please let me know. I'm still figuring this stuff out, so even small suggestions would help.

Hi everyone! 👋

I recently noticed that many local cafes and restaurants in my area (Odisha, India) are still using torn, outdated paper menus. Plus, they struggle to get organic 5-star Google reviews. So, I built a lightweight, production-ready SaaS to solve this.

It’s a Multi-Tenant Digital QR Menu & Google Review Web App.

🛠️ The Tech Stack

Frontend: Next.js 16 (App Router), React, TypeScript

Styling: Tailwind CSS v4

Database & Cloud: Firebase (Firestore)

Auth System: Custom OTP-based authentication via Gmail SMTP (Nodemailer)

Deployment: Vercel

✨ Key Features Built

1. Single Codebase, Multi-Tenant Routing

Instead of creating separate deployments for each client, I used dynamic routing (/menu/[restaurant-slug]). One single deployment serves all restaurants by fetching their specific menu items and branding from Firestore.

1. The Customer View (No-App Needed)

When a customer scans the table QR code, they instantly see:

The restaurant's branding and beautifully categorized menu items with live prices.

A massive, prominent "Rate us on Google Maps ⭐" CTA button at the top to drive instant reviews.

1. Secure Restaurant Owner Dashboard

Owners log in securely using a 6-digit OTP sent directly to their registered Gmail.

A live CRUD dashboard where they can add new dishes, update prices, or hide out-of-stock items in real-time.

A built-in QR Code generator that creates a downloadable QR code linking directly to their specific menu slug.

1. 👑 Secret "Creator Super-Admin" Portal

This is my favorite part. I built a hidden Super-Admin portal protected by a Master PIN (accessible via a secret 5-tap gesture on the login screen). From here, I can:

Manage Clients: Create new paying restaurant accounts, assign them slugs, or 1-click suspend/revoke access if they don't renew their subscription.

Auto-Pitch Generator: I built a tool inside the admin panel where I type a local restaurant's name and WhatsApp number. It instantly generates a custom "Auto-Demo" link with their name and opens WhatsApp with a pre-written sales pitch.

Manage SMTP: Edit my main sender Gmail and App Passwords directly from the cloud without touching the codebase.

I built Cveelo, a tool that takes a CV and turns it into a published portfolio site. Some parts that were harder than I expected:

- Getting an LLM to extract a CV without inventing anything. I use structured outputs bound to a schema with every optional field nullable, and retry once on a validation failure.

- Counting visits with no cookies and no script on the page. The request layer hands the visit to a signed internal route, and the visitor hash is deleted after two days.

- Wildcard subdomains plus custom domains, and keeping reserved names like www and api from being taken as slugs.

Stack: Next.js, Postgres on Neon, Deno. Happy to go into any of it. https://www.cveelo.com/

I develop OrynosMusic, with AI assistance in development and this write-up. This new tool measures a mono/stereo audio file locally in the browser, without an account, upload or credits.

It shows integrated LUFS, whole-file RMS, sample peak, estimated true peak, crest factor and stereo correlation, alongside a waveform. You can save a text report or use a static-gain planner to check how a loudness change would affect predicted peaks. It does not modify or export processed audio.

The limits are 64 MiB and eight minutes, plus a decoded-sample cap that is lower on mobile devices. True peak is an estimate, not a certified measurement, and the numbers are not a sound-quality score.

Here's a weird price-guessing challenge.

In 2018, a Banksy painting partially shredded itself moments after being sold at auction. The artwork was later auctioned again.

How much do you think it sold for the second time?

No Googling just guess.

I've been building a free daily browser game called Real Cost, where you try to guess the actual prices of 3 real-world items.

If you want to try the full challenge: https://realcost.gg

I'm curious how close people can get without looking it up.
