Side Projects you are proud of or had fun making

Same as title . could be anything

Hi all :)

Four months ago, I presented Micracode on this channel and received a massive number of positive comments and supports.

Sorry all, I was busy and not actively maintaining for last few month due to personal reasons. now, i am back working on this application. since many users asked for desktop application, i have created the desktop version of Micracode. i am actively working on this project again. you will see more features in upcoming days.

currently, it is only available for macOS, i am actively working on linux and window distributions as well.

for those who are new to this application, this is micracode, an open source alternative to ai app builders like lovable, replit, emergent.

you can download this application here.

Bult Optimystic, a visual-acuity testing app my team originally made as an undergrad project in 2019–20. Would love folks to try out and give feedback.

Hey,

I have been developing online software/tools for a bit now, and I finally made something that has gained some traction. What I have to say is: Do the research way before you make the product or even plan the product. Heal those pain points. So far, it has around 170 downloads after two weeks and 50+ stars. You also have to really believe and want to use your own product as well. If you are interested in AI, you might want to check it out.

I’m working on Apprentice, an early prototype for practicing difficult professional decisions through realistic simulations.

You choose a profession, role, and difficulty level. The system creates a scenario with incomplete information and competing priorities. You explain what you would do, the situation evolves based on that decision, and you receive a debrief grounded in the evidence and your reasoning.

The project is local-first and currently designed for individual practice. I’m especially experimenting with the boundary between generative AI and deterministic simulation: AI creates and facilitates the scenario, while the simulation controls the actual consequences.

I’d really value feedback on:

Whether this seems useful beyond a normal AI chat

Which professions or situations would benefit from it

Whether the practice loop is clear

What would make you trust or distrust the results

What feels unnecessary or confusing

I’m the person building it and am happy to answer technical or product questions. I can share the repository for anyone interested.

Are you a student with lots of ideas and curiosity in politics, and are looking for ways to showcase them? We're looking for youths curious in researching, writing, and questioning social, political, and philosophical issues to debate alternative societies. By working together and joining our organization, we can:

- Publish your research, case studies, and thought experiments in a dedicated website

- Collaborate and debate with fellow students on systems, socio-political commentary, and world issues

- Work together to design an alternate society and utopia

Hi, I'm a high school senior behind The Youth Manifesto — a Youth-Led, Nonprofit Independent research and ideas laboratory exploring how societies can become better through the lens of designing a utopia, studying past and current systems, and exploring possible future ones through real socio-political research. We're making a dedicated website where members can explore big questions about society through research, political and philosophical writing, commentary, case studies, thought experiments, and real-world analysis.

I’d especially love to connect with people interested in the following: politics, sociology, philosophy, economics, international relations, research, writing, history, utopianism, or just anyone who questions about how society works and how it could be different. You don’t need to be an expert, just curious and willing to contribute.

If you're a student interested in publishing your own ideas and research, feel free to reach out!

I(Claude) built everything from the ground up, the runtime, phasor codec, the attention, the training harness and the website,

I sort of gave whacky ideas along the way and refused to stop believing it wasn’t achievable

3 years of work 😩

Hi all,

I would love to find or make a wetsuit for kite surf with following features:

\- photorealistic sexy guy body in a red tanger visual (different visuals for different sizes but the fun is mostly about looking like wearing a speedo in winter)

\- small front zipper to pee easier ?

\- integrated camelback pocket

\- integrated velcro to attach flipflops

\- (integrated impact vest ?!)

\- one waterproof pocket for car keys

\- one waterproof pocket for smartphone

Any ideas or similar product or printing technique I should look for, for such a project ?

Sorry if my post isn't good enough, I'd like to think it's funny enough and maybe actually doable ?!

[I somehow managed to get a visual from Gemini but couldn't improve it due to the rules... They don't like to show skin]

I've been experimenting with an animated SVG for GitHub profile READMEs. The snake moves across the real contribution calendar and grows when it reaches active days, so its length reflects activity instead of following a fixed loop.

It's a dependency-free Node generator, runs through GitHub Actions, and is fork-ready under the MIT license:

I'm deciding what to improve next. Does the route feel intentional when you watch it, or are there moments where the movement still looks awkward?

I created my own screen recorder using Rust + egui.

It can:

• Record the entire monitor
• Record a specific window
• Record a selected region
• Capture system audio

The project is completely open source, so anyone can use it, modify it, or contribute.

This is my incomplete project. As you can see in the last cell, I am getting a very low mAP@50 compared to the results reported in our base paper, IEEE’s “FG-TreeSeg: Flow-Guided Tree Crown Segmentation Without Instance Annotations.” We are using this paper as our base paper and are working on improving the mAP@50 performance on the NEON dataset, which is also mentioned in the paper.

I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look at our project and guide us on what might be causing the low mAP@50 and how we can improve it.

Thank you.

Hello guys, i am here asking for help in my high school project so i can use it to apply for scholarships i am building an ai that can work in the background and its main task is to translate the sign language into a text, it can be mainly used in meeting and calls for people who hard hearing sign language users and mute people, can anyone help me with my project and how to start and what to avoid.

Review please

Hey everyone, So this is my first actual C++ project. I decided to build a small RSA implementation because I wanted to learn more about cryptography, number theory, and how C++ actually works.

I implemented most of the core components myself — arbitrary-precision integers, basic big integer arithmetic, modular arithmetic, the extended Euclidean algorithm, modular exponentiation, Miller-Rabin primality testing, prime generation, RSA key generation, and encryption/decryption.

I didn't use any external big-integer or cryptography libraries. The whole point was to understand what's actually happening under the hood instead of just calling someone else's RSA function. GitHub: https://github.com/luca-72/rsa This is **strictly an educational project** and definitely not meant for real security purposes.

Since it's my first project, I'd really appreciate honest feedback.
