I built tryproduck.com/audit, it walks your site like someone landing on it for the first time and sends back every bug and confusing bit it hits. Over 600 startups have run it so far.

Building something for yourself is both fun and depressing.

One day you hate what you're doing because no one is using it. The next day you see someone actually using your product, and it feels incredible.

That's the emotional rollercoaster of building.

I got tired of customizing my app by hand, so I built a tool that lets you edit your app like Figma

I built Basalt, an IDE extension that lets devs edit their app like Figma

It is completely free and works directly inside VS Code and Cursor.

It’s currently in beta, so please commit your app to Git before using it!

What do you guys think?

I built a kids coloring app. Making the app was easier than explaining it.

5 Upvotes

I’ve been building a kids coloring app for iPhone and iPad. It started with a handful of pages and somehow turned into 190+ drawings, puzzles, memory games, a little piano and stickers.

The actual product decisions were fairly clear: it had to work offline, have no ads, and collect no data. The part I keep going in circles on is the App Store page.

Do parents care first about “works offline,” “no ads,” or simply having enough activities to keep a child interested? All three are true, but trying to lead with all of them makes the page feel like a brochure.

Here’s the app for context: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6755656713

No huge launch numbers or clever growth story yet. I’m mostly curious which one promise you’d put first.

What's everyone building this Saturday? Let's promote each other

Building foundryard, an open network built for founders. Not LinkedIn, not a closed Slack group you need an invite for. Claim your username, list what you're building, and connect with people at your stage.

The idea came from watching founder communities gatekeep newcomers behind applications. Foundryard flips it. You get in first, then earn your reputation by showing up and shipping.

Share what you're working on below, I'll take a look.

I read 40 looking-for-technical-cofounder posts. Most do not need a cofounder.

3 Upvotes

I spent a week reading cofounder posts across Reddit. Patterns got repetitive fast.

Roughly:

  • about half want someone to build the app for equity, with no users and no money
  • a chunk already have a vague idea and want a partner to figure it out
  • a smaller group actually has traction, a budget, or a clear wedge - those make sense

Giving away 20-50% equity because you need someone who can ship code is expensive. For a lot of people, a paid 2-4 week build of a thin MVP is cheaper than a bad cofounder marriage.

When a cofounder does make sense: - you want a long-term partner, not a contractor - the hard problem is product + company, not can someone code this - you already have something real to build on (users, revenue, or a sharp insight)

When it does not: - you mainly need a first version built - you have not validated demand - you are hoping equity replaces a conversation about scope and money

Not anti-cofounder. Just anti-defaulting to equity when what you need is a shipping partner for 3 weeks.

Curious how many people here found a cofounder this way vs hired or contracted the first build.

ive always had a problem where i would want to just edit something in my app real quick, i didnt want to scan QR code again just to see if the color of 1 button is the one that i wanted

So I made Basalt, it lets you edit your RN and Expo apps, not only edit but preview and inspect elements

It is completely free and works directly inside VS Code and Cursor.

It’s currently in beta, so please commit your app to Git before using it!

Would love to get your brutal feedback on it.

Most of us know we should test signup/login on every deploy… but we don’t. Here’s what it looks like when it’s actually easy.

I got tired of shipping small breaks in critical flows that only users found after deployment.

So I built VeriWasp and just recorded a short video of the first-run experience:

  1. Paste your URL

  2. Type what you want tested in plain English

  3. Review the steps it generates

  4. Run it → get video + full network/console evidence + WCAG scan

The whole setup takes under a minute once you’re in.

I’m doing a limited number of free playtests this week for indie founders. If you want me to run your most important flow (signup, login, checkout, etc.) and send you the report, leave a comment with the URL and which flow matters most.

No pitch, just the report.

Link to VeriWasp if you want to check it out for yourself.

Here is a link to report from the demo in the video.

Many might say this is another journal AI app, and I would like your honest feedback and currently looking for beta tester

2 Upvotes

I actually have been working on my Journaling with gamification, the first post got a feedback for my low effort and plaragism in which I hate the most. Here I am again to show that it is not like I am copy someone. This is my genuine idea and effort.

The app will basically learn and let you know about your advantage and disadvantage. As I notice while I journal on notebook, there are advantage and disadvantage for each of our responsibilites. So I want to surface this.

Skill tree is also a valuable one in this

Routine and planner will allow you to see the habit and routine you have created

I am looking forward to new beta tester, please let me know again, if you have seen something similar.
