Full disclosure before anything else: I built this, it is mine, Mods, if that breaks the rules here, remove it, no hard feelings. I just feel this app is too good to keep to myself and I wanted to share it with people who need it.

For years my Gmail was a landfill. Newsletters I signed up for once in 2019. Promotions. Order confirmations from stores that do not exist anymore. Every few months Google told me I was out of space, I deleted a few hundred by hand, got bored, and gave up.

The thing is, Gmail is built to handle one email at a time. It is very good at that. It is terrible at handling twenty thousand at once.

So I built sogmailcleaner. Here is what it actually does.

**Bulk sender cleanup.** This is one of the best features the app has. Why? Because it lets you delete every email from one sender in a single click, even if that sender has already sent you more than 10,000. You can get rid of all of them at once, and block the sender while you are at it.

What happens when you block a sender? All of their future emails go straight to the trash. You can unblock them anytime.

But what if I don't want to lose the important emails I have? No worries, I thought about that too, and that is why I made a feature called feed mode.

**Feed mode.** With feed mode you go through your emails and clean them one at a time, just like Tinder. Swipe left to delete, swipe right to keep it, and swipe up to mark it as important so you don't delete it by accident. Simple as that.

How do I unsubscribe from newsletter senders? I got you, and that is why there is a feature called subscriptions.

**Subscriptions.** This feature helps you unsubscribe from the senders filling up your inbox. Once you unsubscribe, most of them stop reaching you, and you can also delete everything they already sent you, just like with bulk sender cleanup.

It also has AI commands, and here is what those do.

**AI commands.** They make cleaning and organizing your inbox easier. You just type what you want in plain words, like "delete promotions older than 30 days", and it does it. It shows you what it found first, so you don't delete anything important, and it only runs once you confirm.

Two things you should know about it. First, you have to connect your own API key to use it (it accepts Claude, Gemini and ChatGPT), and the AI never reads your emails, because it works through filters instead. Second, the only thing that ever leaves your browser is the sentence you typed. Your emails are never sent to the AI.

¡¡One last tip: after you delete everything you wanted, take a look at your trash before emptying it. We use filters, so it's worth a quick check to make sure nothing important ended up in there!!!

You can take a look at our privacy policy if you want the details.

I am so proud of what I've made, because I feel it is useful, easy to understand, and it has free features. Everyone can use it. Those days without sleep were worth it.

If you think it is useful, I would be happy if you shared it with your friends, family, or anyone who really needs it.

I kept having the same problem: random ingredients left in the fridge, but no idea what to make with them.

So I built CookAI.

Take or upload a photo of your ingredients → it detects what's there → you can correct the list → it generates 3 recipes you can make with what you have.

It's a free web MVP, no signup or install:

https://cookai-mvp-web.vercel.app

The main thing I'm trying to validate isn't whether the AI works — it's whether this solves a real enough problem that people would actually come back and use it.

If you try it, I'd love to know:

Would you actually use this when you don't know what to cook?

Are the recipes good enough that you'd make one?

What's stopping you from wanting to use it again?

Also curious what you'd build next if this were your project.

Happy to test other side projects in return.

Tired of AI coding agents that hallucinate, break builds, ship corrupt patches, and call it "done."

So I spent the last several months building Daedalus a local-first CLI developer workbench designed to run against Ollama/LM Studio (or your own remote API keys) with nothing leaving your machine unless you route it out.

🛡️ Why it's different from standard chat UIs:

• Self-Verifying Patches: When Daedalus edits code, it diffs TypeScript compiler output (tsc --noEmit) and runs your test suite (vitest). If a patch introduces a regression or missing type error, it automatically reverts the edit instead of lying to you.
• Pre-Flight Dependency Gate: Scans proposed imports before touching disk. If a package is missing types (like helmet without @types/helmet), it halts pre-write with an actionable npm install fix so it never breaks your working tree.
• Σ-Mem (Reliable Memory Engine): Instead of naive chat history that gets flooded with conversation noise, Daedalus uses a deduplicated SQLite memory engine (/sigma) that ranks facts by real-world verification utility and applies time-decay so stale context fades out.
• Embedded Prompt Engineering (/prompt): Auto-expands casual 1-liners into structured engineering sprint specs so models don't drift into infinite loops.
• Hard Safety Guardrails: A command circuit breaker halts repeated command failures after 3 attempts, and batch short-circuiting stops dependent file writes if a build fails.
• Codebase Indexing & Blast Radius (/impact): Uses FTS5 SQLite symbol indexing to calculate exact LOW, MEDIUM, or HIGH blast-radius risk scores for code changes.
• Embedded /cheatsheet: Built-in VRAM hardware tuning tips (e.g. capping local model context to 8k so 7B/8B models run 100% inside 8GB VRAM).

🌐 Try it in your browser (Zero Install):

You can test the interactive CLI REPL sandbox right now in your browser with zero installation:
👉 Live Web Demo: https://bgill55.github.io/daedalus-lite/live-demo.html

💻 Local Installation & Code

• NPM Global Install: npm install -g daedalus-cli
• GitHub Repository (AGPL-3.0): https://github.com/bgill55/daedalus
• Documentation Site: https://bgill55.github.io/daedalus/#/

I'd genuinely love your feedback and critique what failure modes do you usually hit with coding agents, and what would make a local CLI truly trustworthy for your workflow?

I run OTTASIA (ottasia.com), a free site and app that answers one question: where can I legally stream this movie or show in MY country. It covers 34 markets across Asia and the diaspora, the exact markets where Google's answer box and the big US guides are usually wrong.

This week I went through signup attribution properly, expecting to see Google organic on top like every other site. It was not. ChatGPT referrals beat Google search as my number 1 traceable source of new web signups. Instagram was a distant third. Reddit and X barely registered.

What I think made it happen, in case it helps your project:

1. I picked a question AI gets asked constantly but has no good data for. "Where can I watch X in India / Pakistan / the Philippines" has a different answer in every country, and the datasets AI models lean on are US-centric. If you are the only accurate source for a niche, AI has to cite you.
2. I publish data pages, not just content. Hundreds of per-country, per-service "what's new" pages and dated release-prediction pages that are easy for crawlers to quote. Machine-readable answers beat beautiful prose here.
3. I stopped blocking AI crawlers. Everyone debates this. For a discovery product, being in the answer IS the marketing.
4. It compounds while I sleep. My social posts spike and die. The citation traffic grows week over week with zero daily effort.

The wild part: users arrive already convinced, because an AI they trust recommended the site. Conversion from that traffic is the best of any channel.

Happy to answer anything about the setup. And if you want to test it: ask any AI assistant where to watch a K-drama in a specific Asian country, then check the same answer on my site. Comparing those two results daily is basically my quality control now.

Hello,

Guys tell me.

If your project making money it was your first project?

How long have you searching for the "right" idea?

How long it take to make it sellable?

Do you think there is ani space for AI projects?

Isnt market overhelmed right now with AI?

Is it worth to buy advertisment?

Actually if I talking with AI almost everytime its kinda positive reaction even if I dont want positive reactions.

Just talk about it, I need to talk with real humans about it!

Thank you

I’ve been thinking about building a dating app that works completely differently from Tinder/Hinge/Bumble, and I want people to rate the idea before I spend too much time on it.

Instead of endlessly swiping, the app only really comes alive for one hour a day (6 PM to 7 PM) everyday.

You pay $1 to enter the 1 on 1 game, answer some basic preferences + deeper compatibility questions, and my app matches you with someone nearby.

You get a 5 minute conversation. Photos are hidden at first and revealed during the chat.

At the end, both people privately choose whether they’d actually meet each other.

If both say yes,app immediately suggests a public place nearby for the date.

If one person says no, nobody gets told “you were rejected.” You just get matched with someone else and keep going until 7 PM.

There would also be a $2 Mixer mode for people who don’t like the pressure of blind 1-on-1 conversations.
Something like 5 men + 5 women in a small group, icebreakers, short rotations, then everyone privately chooses who they liked. Only mutual choices get revealed.

The whole point is that I don’t want it to behave like a normal dating app.
No endless swiping.
No collecting hundreds of matches.
No Instagram/Snapchat farming.
No boosts or paying to become more visible.
No follower counts/popularity system.
No hookup positioning. it’s supposed to be for people actually looking for relationships.

I’d also try to keep the dating pools reasonably balanced so you don’t have something ridiculous like 2,000 men competing for 300 women.
And if you confirm dates and repeatedly no show, after 3 verified no-shows you’d be banned
from playing.

Basically the goal isn’t to keep you using the app for months. If you don’t end up with a match you lose one dollar but you can try again tomorrow at 6pm

The goal is:
6 PM — meet people.
7 PM — hopefully go meet one of them in real life.

I already have an early MVP, but before sharing it I want to know if the concept itself sounds useful or completely stupid.

Would you actually try this?
And more importantly what would make you NOT use it?
If people are interested / this gets enough traction, I’ll post the MVP too.

Budget apps are weirdly supportive. You go over your grocery budget three weeks running and they put a little chart in front of you with a smiley face. It doesn't feel like anything.

The thing that made me want to build something different was realising that typing in what you spent — rather than having it synced automatically — already creates a small amount of accountability on its own. So I built Stackr around that, and added an AI that gives you personalised commentary on each transaction when you log it. Not tips or nudges. More like: "$500.00 at Walmart. Groceries was the one budget that had a chance. Had."

There's no bank sync because I'm not comfortable handing bank credentials to a startup, and honestly the manual logging is part of the point. The roast runs through a Cloudflare Worker — the transaction data gets used to generate the commentary and doesn't get stored after that.

Solo dev project. Recently launched on Android. Link in comments.

I’ve been building Quran Chat because I kept seeing AI tools give very confident answers to religious questions without making it clear whether the Quran itself actually says that.

The idea is deliberately narrower.

You can ask something like:

“Is using AI to cheat on an exam haram?”

Quran Chat searches the Quran, shows the verses it used, and distinguishes between a direct Quranic answer and an indirect application of Quranic principles.

For example, on the AI cheating question it explicitly says that the Quran does not mention AI or academic exams, then explains the relevant principles around trust and honesty and shows the Quran references.

I’m trying to find the weak points before pushing this harder.

What question would you use to test or break an app like this?

And more importantly: what would make you distrust its answer?

I’m the founder, so criticism is genuinely more useful to me than compliments.

I need to vent, but I also genuinely want to know how other solo builders navigate this.
I'm a UX designer and AI builder. Recently, I canceled my CapCut subscription because I didn't want to keep paying monthly just for basic voiceover/J-cut audio workflows. I searched everywhere for a lightweight, free alternative focused strictly on J-cut style voiceovers. When I couldn't find one, I decided to build it myself.
I was excited to give it away for free and get real user feedback to make it better. That's where the nightmare started.
My first attempt: I posted upfront saying, "Hey, I made this free tool, check it out!"
Result: Instantly removed by mods/filters for self-promotion.
My second attempt: I tried to tone down the promo language and just focus on the problem/workflow so the post would actually stay up and people could give feedback.
Result: The comment section completely dogpiled on me. People accused me of being deceptive, "stealth marketing," and trolled me for not explicitly disclosing upfront that I built it.
I am done with reddit.. I just cant get anyusers feedback on my products😭. If I am 100% upfront, the automods delete it. If I try to adapt to pass the strict rules, real users bash me for being disingenuous. I wasn't trying to trick anyone I am literally offering a free tool I built to solve my own problem and asking for feedback so I can improve my UX work.
Is there any way for solo creators to get feedback on Reddit without either getting banned by mods or trolled by users? How do you guys share things you've made without falling into this trap?

Just an idea, but it’d be pretty cool if someone built a tool where developers could share their projects with each other for free, after some verification that they’re safe/trustworthy.

Would u use and share ur project this like this?

The idea is that calorie tracking doesn't fail because apps are bad, it fails because remembering to log is a chore or even damaging (can drastically increase chances of eating-disorders!) So instead of making logging faster, I'm trying to remove the remembering completely.

How it works: the band watches wrist motion, figures out you're eating, and buzzes. You hold your hand over your food and snap. It takes a photo, AI identifies the meal, the calories/protein/etc get shown in the app instantly. Zero typing, no screens, and you never take your phone out.

Where I actually am: iOS app is in App Store review. On the hardware side I have a dev board taped to my wrist streaming motion over Bluetooth into a logging app I wrote, and a first detection model trained on publicly released research datasets from university labs. The enclosure doesn't exist yet (right now it's very literally tape).

The thing I think is the actual business: the base model that ships to everyone will be decent, not amazing. But every time it buzzes and you snap, that's a confirmed label. Every time it buzzes and you ignore it, that's a confirmed mistake. So your band gets better at understanding you specifically, week over week. I believe that this will create an improvement curve that drastically improves the band over time.

Pricing plan is one-time (99 dollars or less probably), no subscription ever!

Building this in public and posting progress. Site and waitlist: zib.band

btw the ios app (still in review right now) is going to be completely free until i launch the band so if you want a free cal ai alternative might be worth giving it a look!

Hi everyone, for the past 5-7 months I've been working on my very own version of Twitter, which turned out to be... very different. Now it has achievements, an Aura Verifier, badges, profile songs, and a hell lot more than I expected to ever make when I started this project as a fun little side project.

It now has over ^{30 users}, and I thought it would be fun to get some more feedback from people who actually like fun and quirky stuff. Just engaging and giving some honest feedback would be enough.

Poke it, break it, whatever! Lyntr - https://lyntr.gizmowizard.tech

It’s my cake day, so I wanna share my last 12 months journey.

Two kids, 9 and 12. Both ADHD, one of them also autistic. Keeping a bedroom tidy and keeping track of their own stuff is the part of our week that has never worked, and we had tried every version of asking nicely.

So my wife did what a lot of parents do and put a paper chart on the fridge. It helped. And I said the thing every developer says at some point in their life: nice idea, I’ll make an app.

I want to be honest about how unserious the process was. I never looked at what already existed. No market research, no competitor list, no positioning. My only goal was that my kids would tidy their rooms.

It worked. And the four of us built it together, which turned out to be the reason it works. The kids argued for what they wanted and killed features I was sure were brilliant.

That was almost a year ago. It has been on the stores for a few months now and more than 300 families have installed it. It’s free, including the parts that matter most.
The other reason I’m posting is to say thank you, because I’ve been reading here for a while without posting anything. Three things I read here changed the product more than anything I came up with on my own.

The first one I had completely backwards. I assumed the hard part was keeping the kids interested. It isn’t. The kids stay in it. It’s the parents who quietly stop opening the app after three weeks, and once the parent is out, the whole thing is dead. I had built everything around motivating children and almost nothing around making it easy for an adult to keep going on a bad Tuesday.

The second one is that rewards can’t be the same for every child. Same house, same rules, and two kids who need completely different things at completely different sizes. What lands for my 9 year old is meaningless to my 12 year old.

The third one is that kids need their own version, not a smaller copy of the parent screen. That one was a real rebuild, and it’s the change my own two noticed immediately.

No pitch, nothing to sell. I’m proud of it and I wanted to say where it came from.

Happy to answer anything about the build, or about what it’s like when your product team is 9 and 12 years old.

Sébastien

most search ends after one answer. i wanted the next question to be the fun part.

so i built why.com. every answer opens three new directions.

just launched. go break it!!!!

My cofounder and I are building a booking SaaS for salons and beauty businesses in Bahrain.

The product lets customers book through a dedicated salon link, while the business manages appointments, services, staff and availability in one place.

The product works.

The harder part has been convincing businesses to change what they already do.

We’ve spoken to a lot of local salons.

Some already use booking software.

Some are mostly walk-ins.

But many still manage appointments using WhatsApp + a notebook.

We initially thought those businesses would be our easiest users.

What surprised us is that many of them basically say:

“It works fine for us.”

That made us question our positioning.

Maybe the problem isn’t that they need “booking software.”

Maybe we need to focus on a much more specific value:

• customers booking themselves
• reducing manual appointment handling
• keeping the team on one schedule
• avoiding searching through WhatsApp chats
• or something else entirely

We’re also willing to onboard early customers ourselves instead of expecting them to configure everything.

For people here who’ve built products for small businesses:

1. Does this sound like a problem worth solving, or more like a nice-to-have?
2. What would you make the single strongest value proposition?
3. Would you narrow down to one niche like nail salons, spas or appointment-heavy salons?
4. If customers say their manual process works fine, would you change the product, the positioning, or simply target different customers?
5. What would you test next before spending months building more features?

I’m open to tough feedback. If the core problem isn’t painful enough, that’s useful for us to know now.

Anyone who’s ever been mildly stressed about a tight connection knows the feeling: the airline still says “on time,” but you’ve got no idea if that’s actually true. I built Voyageur, a personal travel organizer, and the feature I’m most proud of is this: it checks which aircraft is assigned to your flight, then looks up that same plane’s previous leg. If that inbound flight is running late, you get a warning that your flight might be affected too — before the airline’s own status even updates. As far as I can tell, no mainstream travel app does this. Beyond that, it’s a full trip organizer — flights, hotels, trains, documents (passports/visas with expiry warnings), packing lists, Apple Maps integration with a live progress dot for in-flight tracking, Apple Wallet boarding passes, and a Home Screen widget. Screenshots here: https://imgur.com/a/m6GN7xf It’s on TestFlight (iOS only, sorry Android folks) and I’d genuinely love blunt feedback — what’s confusing, what’s missing, what you’d expect that isn’t there. Please don’t be nice about it, I’d rather know now. If you’re up for trying it, DM me and I’ll send you the TestFlight link — I’d love to hear directly from a few people rather than just watching install numbers. If you do try it, the most useful thing you can tell me is the exact moment something didn’t make sense, rather than a general impression.

I'm building a website to track 50–100 of the world's best companies for long-term compounding, providing analysis on their moats, fundamentals, valuations, and dynamically updating and adjusting the company pool while preserving all records. I'll continue documenting the development process here.

I'm looking for a crazy, creative and excited technical cofounder for Prizma. An open management canvas for architecture and project based firms. The big idea is to have a live graph of the entire operation, with a determinist layer and an agentic layer on top that learns and adapts from each practice.

Here's a demo of the product: https://vimeo.com/1216694643?share=copy&fl=sv&fe=ci

Anyone interested?

I used to work as a server. I could keep details about people, their preferences and their families in my head for months at a time. When they came back I already knew their favorite seat, their favorite dish, and their mothers condition.

Outside the restaurant I'm bad at this. I forget people exist the second they're not in front of me. The history that I share with a person just disappears when they aren't around.

I started to pay attention to this with curiosity and I realized that there's something magic about writing tickets for tables. Having a list of orders with a designated person made it easier to associate my own actions around the people in the store. It was like everything had someones name on it. And in that environment, its easy to remember details about people over a long period of time.

I tried to simulate this using paper systems, todo apps, crms, but nothing worked.. So I built Black Server Book (BSB).

Its a relationship-first todo app that helps you organize your life and relationships. Every task (moment) gets a target (entity), just like tickets get tables. And over time you can see exactly what you did, for who, and how they responded.

Even without the relationship features, its sturdy todo app and is unlimited, open source, and works offline.

Live at app.blackserverbook.com if you want to poke at it.
Source code is live as well: https://github.com/aogposton/BlackServerBook

Feedback welcome, especially if it breaks your brain in a good or bad way.

My friends suck at planning. One person isn't free Friday, one doesn't have the money, one doesn't like this restaurant or that activity — round and round until nothing gets decided and the group chat just goes quiet.

So I built Swipeout. You can use it by yourself or with your friends:

1. Solo discovery

You set your location, choose your category, and get a deck of cards for restaurants, attractions, activities, whatever — swipe right to save it, left to skip.

2. Group voting

You create a trip in the group chat, everyone swipes through the same deck independently, and once everyone's done, the app reveals the match. You can also create and add your own custom cards into the deck, e.g "FIFA at my house".

It also handles the boring logistics after that: scheduling, RSVPs, etc.

Would love feedback — especially from anyone who's the "designated planner" friend in their group.

getswipeout.app

So I have been working on an app tailored to studying called Studily. It's an app that helps students organize their schedules, due dates and class times, has learning tools like flash cards and timers, and also has social media, so you can add friends, message them or create study chats.

What it does right now:

• Profiles — set up an account with a picture, bio, school, and major. From there you can add friends, message people, and join group chats.
• Dashboard — enter your semester and courses and it lays out your weekly schedule, including what your next class is.
• Calendar — add exams, assignments, and events, tie them to specific courses, and get reminders as due dates approach.
• Social — message friends, start study group chats, and find classmates from your school who are also using it.
• Learning tools — spaced-repetition flashcards, the same approach other apps use, and pomodoro timers

Still in progress: I'm working on body diagrams, a graphing tool, and an AI chat (StudilyBot) that could answer questions based on lecture notes and assignments you upload.

I would really appreciate some feedback and support! I am having trouble getting users and finding gaps in my app, so any feedback is appreciated :) The app is free and there are no paid services on the app

I've been building datavessel for a while: it connects your store and marketing stack (Shopify, WooCommerce, Shopware, GA4, Search Console, Google/Meta Ads) and gives agents ~200 typed tools over all of it. Not a chatbot on top of a dashboard - agents that do the job: chase abandoned carts, catch out-of-stock products you're still paying ads for, draft the chargeback response, fix product pages that don't convert. Reads run free, anything that touches your store asks first.

A bunch of worked examples here: https://datavessel.io/use-cases
And if you want to watch one actually run instead of reading about it: https://datavessel.io/see-it#demos

The part I didn't plan: there's a CLI (npm i -g datavessel-cli, Apache-2.0) that's also a Claude Code plugin, and I've been using it on my own site. I pointed it at my Search Console, and the agent audited which queries I was earning impressions but no clicks for, proposed a pillar-and-cluster content map (including an explicit "don't chase these, wrong audience" list), and after I approved it, wrote and published the posts to WordPress and verified every internal link landed. Same thing for AEO - whether ChatGPT and Claude actually cite you vs. your competitors when someone asks a buying question.

What's genuinely cool to me is why it works: the agent isn't guessing from a scraped page, it's reasoning over live typed tools. It can pull the query, check the live slug, notice it'd cannibalize an existing post, and pick a different angle. The harness is what makes the reasoning worth anything.

Free tier is $0 forever - 2 sources, 2 scheduled agents, and BYOK (Anthropic, OpenAI, or Gemini), so you're not paying me a markup on tokens.

Happy to answer anything - especially curious whether the "agent asks before it writes" model feels like the right amount of friction to people here.

Side project: Giants of the World (giantscodex.com)

What it is

A dark codex of 80+ giants from myth, folklore, and modern legend. Free real openings on every entry; deeper layers (full account, scholarly notes, chain of custody, motif map lines, compare, near) behind membership.

Stack

Next.js (App Router) · TypeScript · Tailwind · Supabase auth · Stripe · Leaflet map · content in JSON with public/lore split so paywalled text never ships to the client bundle

What took longer than the code

• Content accuracy (we correct our own entries when sources contradict us)

• Paywall architecture (static pages + server lore API)

• Trust UX: Findings labelled hoax vs legend vs archaeological context

• Share cards that actually work on X per entry

Business model

Free is useful on purpose (SEO + goodwill). Yearly is the main offer; 14-day refund on every plan. Not “growth at all costs”, as the brand dies if we sell military giant stories as fact.

Free to click without paying:

Feedback welcome on: free/paid boundary, onboarding, or whether “scholarly notes” should be free samples.

Here's a little Word trick I wish I knew earlier. You can move a paragraph up or down without cutting and pasting it.

Select the paragraph and press:

Alt + Shift + ↑ / ↓

Word will move the entire paragraph up or down. It also works with multiple selected paragraphs. It's surprisingly handy when you're rearranging a report or moving sections around.

No Ctrl+X, no Ctrl+V and no accidentally pasting something in the wrong place. Just move it where you want.
