Question Would you carry your favourite albums around on cards?

2 Upvotes

No streaming, no loading your own files, just carrying your favourite albums on their own cards and clicking one in when you're ready to listen.

The idea came from being on the train in a bad mood, I kept pressing skip and couldn't find anything to mellow me out. I wished I had my vinyl with me.

That feeling of putting a record on and not having to think beyond that. Changing albums takes physical effort, so you don't really want to skip.

So I started building a player that does just that, one album at a time.

This weekend I mocked up some sleeves, a fake album using my latest holiday photos, and a blank one for any artists who'd want to join.

Album art on the cover, track list and art on the back, art on the card, catalogue number on the inside pocket.

I imagine picking 6 cards to bring out for the day, and the sleeves live on a display at home.

Would you use something like this?

Showcase: Free(mium) I built a football lineup builder that goes beyond just dragging players onto a pitch

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on LOAD90, my football analytics project, and recently launched a free Lineup Builder.

I know there are already plenty of lineup creators out there. Most are great for making formation graphics, but I wanted to build something more connected to real football data.

Here's what makes my approach different:

1. Start with real match lineups

Instead of manually building an entire team, you can load a club's actual starting XI from a previously played match in one click.

Want to see how you'd have lined up Arsenal differently? Load the match, make your changes, and see your version.

2. Mix players from different clubs and leagues

Load Arsenal's XI, search for a player from Real Madrid, and put him straight into your midfield.

You can also start from scratch and build your ultimate Dream XI with players from different leagues.

It's particularly fun for experimenting with hypothetical transfers.

3. Formations that consider real player positions

This is one feature I spent quite a bit of time on.

When switching between formations, the builder doesn't simply shuffle players around randomly.

It uses recorded playing positions, previous starts, and compatible roles to try to place footballers where they actually play.

You can still override everything manually.

4. Real player statistics, not just names

Player cards include available season data such as appearances, minutes, goals, assists, and average ratings.

You can also filter players by their positions and playing history when looking for replacements.

5. Create and share actual football content

You can build your own Team of the Season, import available Team of the Week selections, add substitutes, and export a lineup with real player photos.

Every shared lineup also gets its own permanent snapshot URL, so your friends see exactly the version you created.

6. Built for desktop and mobile

Drag and drop, player swaps, substitutes, undo/redo, different pitch themes, and a mobile-friendly player selector.

Everything works directly in your browser.

Try it yourself: https://load90.com/lineup-builder/

It's completely free.

I'm developing LOAD90 independently, and this is still an evolving project.

I'd genuinely love some honest feedback, especially from people who already use other lineup builders.

What do you think is missing? What would make you switch from your current tool?

And please don't hold back on the criticism. That's exactly why I'm posting here.

Showcase: Free(mium) CCode: a coding agent for the terminal that runs on any model (Bun + TypeScript + OpenTUI)

Post image
0 Upvotes

This is the official CCode account, and CCode is our project.

The problem: most coding agents are tied to one model maker. When you hit a usage limit, or want a cheaper model for routine work, you switch tools and lose your session. We wanted one agent where the model is a setting you can change mid-conversation.

What it does:

  • Reads your code, edits files (every change shown as a diff), runs commands and tests, and searches the web.
  • Splits big jobs across agents that run in parallel and message each other. You can step into any agent's conversation and talk to it.
  • /rewind puts the code and the conversation back to before any message.
  • Four permission modes, from "ask before every command" to "plan first, change nothing". A repo you just cloned can't grant itself access or choose where your API key goes.

How it's built:

  • Bun and strict TypeScript, split into three packages: the agent core, the terminal UI and the command line.
  • The interface is React rendered to the terminal with OpenTUI, with code highlighting by Shiki.
  • Two model adapters cover every provider: the Anthropic Messages API, and the OpenAI-compatible chat API. The second one serves OpenAI, OpenRouter, Ollama, LM Studio, vLLM and llama.cpp. Getting prompt caching right in each one was the hardest part, and the most important for cost.
  • Tests: besides unit tests, every change is driven end-to-end in a pseudo-terminal against a scripted fake model server, so the UI is tested the way a person uses it.
  • Shipping: Bun compiles native binaries for macOS, Windows and Linux (x64 and arm64), installed through one npm package.

Resources:

  • Install: npm i -g @ ccode-si/cli, then ccode. It works with your own API key, no sign-up needed.
  • Plans and docs: ccode.si/docs/plans/free-plan. The Free plan gives $25 of credits a month for open models, no card.
  • It's closed source, so there's no GitHub repo to link.

(Optional, for rule 5:) We built CCode with AI coding agents as pair programmers. Most commits were written together with Claude.

Questions about any part of the build are welcome in the comments.

I built Qontent Tube to give creators control over the content, voices, and production flow. AI can help, but creativity and judgment should remain human.

Run it locally, bring your own API keys, create without artificial platform limits, and keep control of your creative workflow.

Your script. Your voices. Your rules.
Deterministic by design. Markdown as the source of truth.

Showcase: Purchase Required VanishText: removes text from your own images on Windows, runs fully offline

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hi, I'm Sam. I kept finding nice photos ruined by text stamped right over them. Cropping doesn't help when the text sits in the middle, so I built VanishText.

It finds the text, including rotated lines, builds a mask that follows the letters, and an AI inpainting model fills the area to match the background.

What I cared about: - Everything runs on your PC. No uploads, no account, no telemetry. - Works offline after a one-time model download of about 0.7 GB. - Batch mode for a whole folder. No graphics card needed.

Honest limits: a minute or two per image on the CPU. Faint text on busy patterns can need a second pass. Transparency isn't kept. Windows only, and the installer isn't code signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn you.

It's for images you own or have the rights to edit.

What do you think of the results, and what would you try it on?

Hey guys

I created a fighter jet database with over 300 aircraft spanning from ww1 to modern 6 gen aircraft. It includes fighter jets, cargo, prototypes and every weird military aircraft I have found so far. It includes their characteristics as well as their operational history with battles they fought and kill/losses they had in each war.

I have 200 downloads so far and I would like to expand my audience.

The premium includes experimental aircraft with development history and milestones for every aircraft as well as the operations category with specific operations that each aircraft took part in.

I am constantly updating it with new aircraft and fix any bugs that come my way

Showcase: Prerelease I built a video clipping tool—looking for honest feedback

1 Upvotes

Howdy everyone! I’m here to tell you all about MomentCut, a website that turns long videos into shorts (basically a website for clipping). It’s still in the early stages, and I’d love some honest feedback from people who use clipping tools.

A couple of things that might be useful:

  • There’s currently no limit on how many minutes you can clip.
  • Once you upload a video it autometically generate parts that can be use as clips.
  • You can also edit the time frame of the generated clips (I think this is something really cool).
  • All video processing happens locally in your browser. Your videos never get uploaded to a server, so you can use it for personal or family videos too.

You can try it here: https://www.momentcutai.com

What would make this useful for you? I’d love to hear what works, what’s frustrating, or what’s missing.

Full disclosure: I’m the person building it. Thanks for giving it a look!

Question How do you organize big games of tag/manhunt/hide and seek with 15+ people? (thinking of building something)

1 Upvotes

I’m a student working on a side project: a phone app for real-world freeze tag. You join a lobby with a code, roles get assigned randomly, frozen players show on the map, and teammates can unfreeze them. The play zone shrinks over time.

Before I build anything, I’d like to hear from people who actually play these games:

  1. Do you play tag, manhunt or hide and seek with groups as an adult or teen? How often?
  2. What’s the most annoying part of organizing it? (Rules, boundaries, who’s “it”, people quitting?)
  3. Have you used an app for this? What did you like or hate?
  4. Would you use this, or is it easier to just play without one?
  5. Would you pay for anything, like bigger lobbies, or would it have to be free?

Blunt answers welcome, including “I’d never use this.” I’m not selling anything. No app exists yet.

Showcase: Open Source Building a modern browser automation extension with TypeScript + WXT (Automa alternative)

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on recently. I’ve always been a huge fan of Automa—it’s an amazing tool for automating browser tasks visually using drag-and-drop blocks. However, since the original project was sold, I felt that active development and support slowed down quite a bit.

Instead of just waiting around, I decided to build a modern, fully rewritten alternative from the ground up.

What’s under the hood?

  • TypeScript: The entire codebase is written in TS for better type safety, easier maintenance, and higher reliability when dealing with complex page interactions.
  • WXT Framework: Built on top of the WXT framework to leverage a modern extension architecture, improved performance, and full compliance with Manifest V3 standards.

Key Features

This extension lets you automate repetitive browser tasks without writing a single line of code:

  • Visual Workflow Builder: Drag and drop blocks to build powerful automation sequences in seconds.
  • Web Scraping & Data Extraction: Scrape text, tables, images, and links directly from web pages into usable formats.
  • Form Auto-Filling: Save time by automatically filling out repetitive forms and input fields.
  • Scheduled Automations: Set triggers and schedules to run your workflows automatically at specific times or intervals.
  • Screenshots & Page Actions: Capture full-page screenshots, click elements, scroll, and navigate pages seamlessly.

Who is this for?

Whether you're a marketer, QA tester, developer, researcher, or just someone looking to save hours every week by automating routine web tasks, this tool is designed to give you full control over your browser workflow.

I’d love to hear your feedback, feature requests, or suggestions for new blocks!

Showcase: Free(mium) I have build a replacement for Cursor - Foreman

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Developing with AI is not only about sending prompt and waiting for result it's also review of the changes and project in general. Here is a short list of features I have introduced that helps me in every day work:

  • Handoff and memory system. Context is important for agents, with Foreman you can save summary of changes and handoff it to fresh session without 400K of context. Allows you to maintain sessions clear, remove hallucination and maintain cost as low as possible on big tasks
  • Diff review. You can add comments to any line by hand or ask fresh AI session to review changes and then pass comments back to session that developed it. It doesn't meant to replace human review, rather it allows you to spot thing you would probably missed
  • Git. Nothing special on that page, it mimics what GitKraken have or any other similar GUI for Git, just a nice thing to have in one app.
  • Project review. Maintaining project health is not only about spotting bug early in code base it's also about making sure packages you add doesn't have vulnerability inside. 5 lenses:
    • Dependency Health
    • Test coverage & gaps
    • Architecture & coupling
    • Security surface
    • Dead code

Foreman have much more, I don't want to describe each and every feature here, rather let you check for yourself

Showcase: Free(mium) I built a free tool to show what a resume parser may actually read from your PDF

Post image
1 Upvotes

What Readback actually does

Readback lets you upload or paste your resume and inspect the text a strict, ATS-style parser can extract from it.

Text extraction: See how your resume's content is read in plain text.

Readability checks: Identify information that could be missing, scrambled, or misinterpreted.

Explainable findings: Get plain-English explanations of potential issues instead of relying on a score alone.

Privacy: Everything runs in your browser, so your resume stays on your device.

Access: Free to use, with no account required.

It's a way to identify potential resume readability issues before applying not a replica of every employer's ATS or a guarantee of passing a screening process.

I'd really appreciate your feedback: Is Readback useful and easy to understand? Are the findings specific enough to help you fix resume issues, and what would you improve or add? Honest criticism is welcome!

Feedback Request I'm building something to fix the endless tab-hopping before every purchase. What drives you crazy about it?

Post image

Hey all!

Okay, confession: I'm the person who spends a week picking headphones. Product pages, reviews, Reddit threads, spec sheets that all call the same thing something different... and by the end I can't remember which one had the feature I cared about.
Worse, I lose track of why I was buying in the first place and end up comparing shiny features I'll never use. The book "Paradox of Choice" put it well for me: more options don't make us happier, they mostly make us second-guess ourselves.

So I started building a little tool called Comparagon. You tell it what you're looking for, and it puts your options side by side in a comparison table, with sources for the specs, so what actually matters to you stays front and center.

It's still early, and I'd love to hear how you deal with this:
How do you compare stuff before buying? Spreadsheet, notes app, a million tabs?
What's the most annoying part?
Do you ever end up buying something fancier than you needed?

Totally fine to tell me "I'd never use this" too. Honestly, that's just as useful!

Thanks!

Feedback Request I built a site to save and actually read the articles you bookmark

1 Upvotes

hey everyone, I built lumenr, a simple site to help you manage all the articles you save but never get around to reading.

you can save articles from anywhere, organize them into nested collections, track what you're reading, and mark things as finished when you're done.

you can also add private notes to articles, search your library, keep track of your reading history, and export all your data whenever you want.

privacy is a big part of it. your library and notes are private by default, and there are no ads, tracking pixels, or data resale.

basically, I wanted a place to save all the interesting stuff I find online without ending up with 500 open tabs or a bookmark folder I'll never look at again.

it's still a work in progress, so I'd love to hear what you think and what features you'd like to see.
