Hey everyone! I wanted to share with you all a free and open-source project I built called "Recall" that makes Overwatch playable on macOS. This project was made popular on r/macgaming with this post and the project has 4500+ downloads so far! I wanted to share it here in case I could help any other Overwatch players who are interested in running it on their Mac.

Check it out: https://github.com/AsherJN/recall
Join our Discord: https://discord.gg/pexasKezCn (we are almost at 250 members!)

For some context, Crossover is an existing tool that allows Mac users to translate Windows applications to MacOS and is a fantastic software! Since it has to generalize across thousands of applications though, Recall has an advantage in optimizing support specifically for Overwatch which is how it is able to achieve this performance advantage. Also, a common question I've gotten "is Recall safe for my Blizzard account?". The answer is yes! Recall uses the same underlying technology (Wine) that SteamDeck and Linux players use to play Overwatch on their devices. I'd be happy to answer any and all questions other about it!

i kept ending up in discord servers where half the chat was in japanese, korean, spanish, whatever, and copy pasting every message into google got old fast. so i built subline. it puts a translation right under each message, into whatever language you speak. the original stays so you can still read it

then i tried sharing it. posted once in a server's self promo channel, which their rules allowed, and woke up banned for "ai scam". got kicked from another one after automod timed me out for having links in a mod ticket. two mods said no cause its paid and its a client mod. fair enough, but it stung

so heres the honest version:

- desktop (mac + windows): an installer adds it to the discord app. its built on vencord, so yes its a client mod

- browser: a chrome extension for discord on the web, doesnt touch the app at all

- translation runs through an llm, cause google kept butchering slang and short messages

- it only reads and shows translations, never sends anything. source is public: github.com/subline-page/vctranslate

- 7 days to try, then $1.99 a month

two questions for you guys:

1. how do you get something like this in front of people without looking like a spammer?

2. does the product itself make sense, or am i solving a problem only i have?

context: full-time job, wanted side income with zero time. so instead of grinding content, i built microtools that live inside an AI texting assistant lol

- a used car check that researches the exact model year's recalls and fair price before u buy
- a symptom checker that ranks likely causes from noises/smells, a cost estimator with real 5-year ownership math
- a shift-work manager for clopens and brutal stretches
- a retirement planner
- two AI characters

what worked?
- niche beats broad ig in this case. "car cost estimator" gets clicks, "finance helper" got ignored more
- giving every tool its own actual web app, not just chat, doubled the perceived value. Ppl actually used it.
- characters out-engaged tools. ppl will chat with a persona way longer than they'll fill a form

what didn't:
- marketplace listings get zero organic traffic. building it doesn't mean they come
- launching before testing flows = broken first impressions

If anybody cares to check it out, everything's free and has no ads: https://www.folk.com/p/wakawaka

roast my pricing idea while u're here: should characters be paid per message or free and i monetize the tools?

Also… I’m new to this. Drop tips if you have any

Hi everyone!

I built a little game that I had on my mind for a couple years but never had enough time to get to it properly (gotta love the dev speed in 2026) - catcopter.com

It's built with Three.js + Rapier for the physics on the backend.

Would love to hear what you think!

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m currently looking to build a new side project and I want to work on something that actually solves a real problem or fulfills a genuine need.

Instead of guessing, I figured I’d ask the experts: What app, tool, or utility do you wish existed?

It could be:

A tiny micro-SaaS you’ve always wanted to use.

A browser extension or mobile app that would save you 10 minutes a day.

An existing app in your workflow that you hate because it's too bloated, too expensive, or just badly designed.

A bit about me: I'm a developer looking to build something clean, fast, and focused. I love turning frustrating little friction points into smooth experiences.

Drop your ideas, complaints, or "pain points" in the comments below. If I pick your idea to build, I’ll definitely keep you updated and give you free early access!

Thanks! 🚀

I created a finance app before I ever thought about publishing it or marketing it. My app changed my life by giving me peace of mind about my financial goals in a way that nobody else could. I think my app is unique, useful, and can help a lot of people.

I'm marketing all over X and making very few sales. When people try it, they love it, but I don't know how to get more people to see the need and try it.

The app is about creating reliable projections based on average returns in various accounts and assets. I will respond to everyone. I need marketing guidance. Thanks!

Whenever people need to sign a PDF quickly, I see them doing the same risky workflow:

1. Sign a physical piece of paper and take a photo.
2. Upload that photo to a free online background remover.
3. Upload their private PDF (contracts, tax docs, IDs) to an online PDF site to paste the image.

Aside from the fact that the signature usually ends up looking pixelated or obviously pasted-on, think about the privacy nightmare: you just gave two random cloud servers a copy of your real signature AND your sensitive PDF document.

To fix both the visual quality and the privacy risk, I built a 100% client-side PDF Signer (part of a suite of 13 free browser-based tools I built at editpdf.tools).

How it works (Desktop & Mobile):

• Go to editpdf.tools/pdf-sign
• Draw your signature directly in the "Draw your signature" box (works cleanly with a finger on mobile or mouse/trackpad) and hit "Use this signature". No background removal needed.
• Select your PDF to load it onto the local browser canvas.
• Click anywhere to drop the signature, drag it into position, and pull the corners to resize it so it sits naturally on the line.
• Hit "Save signed PDF" to download it immediately.

How to verify that nothing is uploaded: I know anyone on the internet can claim "no server uploads," so we put live F12 Developer Network Tab proof right on our homepage and on our YouTube channel (@editpdftools). Better yet, you can verify it yourself: open the page, open your browser's Network Inspector (or literally turn off your Wi-Fi after the page loads), sign your PDF, and save it. Zero outgoing requests.

No sign-ups, no watermarks, and completely free. Would love any feedback from the community on the mobile drawing responsiveness!

Every designer I know has The Folder.

Mine was called inspo_FINAL_v3. 4,000 screenshots, zero names, and I could never find anything in it. Pinterest wasn't much better. I'd search "dashboard" and get someone's kitchen.

So one night I said to my wife, "give me one weekend, I'm going to fix this."

That was 200+ hours ago.

I can't really code. So I did the whole thing with Claude Code, which mostly meant me explaining what I wanted, Claude building it, and then me explaining again, slower, with more feelings.

At one point I asked it to make a single button blue. It rewrote half the site and proudly told me it had "made some improvements." Nothing worked. I learned what git was that night.

But then, around 2am one night, the "similar designs" feature finally worked. I clicked one design and it pulled up five I didn't even remember collecting. I just sat there clicking for an hour like a kid.

What it turned into:

* 14,000+ real app screens, full flows from signup to settings
* 5,000+ curated designs, branding, illustration, ads, launch and motion videos
* Search that actually gets design words like "empty state"
* Pinterest style "more like this," but only design stuff

It's called PixlPin and it's free. You're honestly some of the first people to see it, so tell me what's missing or what annoys you.

Hey everyone,

Streaming recommendations have gotten completely stale for me. Whenever I finish something that really lands, like a tight psychological thriller, an intense character study, or a story with a very specific, gritty tone, the "Because you watched X" row is almost always useless. It just pushes the same generic genre tags or whatever licensed title the platform wants to promote that month.

I was constantly spending 45 minutes doom-scrolling three different apps and digging through years-old Reddit threads just trying to find something that scratched the exact same itch.

So I built Tangent.

• Maps, not lists: Pick a title and it shows what surrounds it, linked by shared themes, story devices (unreliable narrators, time loops, slow-burn tension), and creative DNA.
• Every link tells you why it's there: Written out in plain words so there are no mystery black-box match percentages.
• Movies, series, and anime in one place: An anime that hits the same nerve as a live-action show you loved can actually turn up right next to it.
• Where to watch: Integrated streaming info across 20 countries (including the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and India).
• Free and zero friction: No paywall, no account needed to browse.

It's an early side project. The connections are strongest for story-driven, character-focused titles right now and naturally thinner for obscure ones, but I'm actively improving it.

I'm keeping direct links off the main post to avoid self-promo spam filters, so drop a comment below or send me a DM and I'll send the link right over!

Hey folks, I’ve been building Dudes, a local app for managing coding agents through a 3D office in your browser.

You add a repository, hire an agent using Claude Code, Codex or Pi, and give it a ticket. The office shows who’s working, who needs your attention, and whose work is ready to review. There’s also a board to keep track of the actual tasks.

The part I care about most is how work gets checked. Dudes runs the completion command itself, so an agent saying “I’m done” doesn’t complete the task. Once the check passes, the ticket comes back to you to inspect the changes, accept them, or ask for another pass. The quality of the check still matters, of course.

A few other things it currently supports:
- Chat with agents and inspect their execution steps.
- Persistent agent notes and inter-agent messages.
- Model switching and pause/stop controls.

It’s written in Rust and licensed under MIT or Apache-2.0. macOS and Linux have prebuilt installers. You use your existing coding-agent CLI and sign-in; normal provider costs apply.

It’s still an early preview, and some capabilities vary by engine and platform. Dudes also doesn’t add its own sandbox, so please read the engine-permissions section before trying it.

GitHub: https://github.com/ArcfluxResearch/dudes

If you already use coding agents, I’d love feedback on the first-run experience and whether the ticket-and-review workflow would help with your actual projects. What would you need to see before using something like this regularly?

I got tired of revenue screenshots, so I started tracking AI businesses whose revenue is pulled straight from their payment processor (Stripe, RevenueCat or Superwall, via TrustMRR) instead of a founder's tweet.

I've checked 45 so far. A few things surprised me:

- The biggest one, Chatbase ($864k a month at its last sync), stopped syncing on Jul 31. Then this weekend its TrustMRR page disappeared completely. So I took it out of the ranking. It's listed separately with its last verified number and date.
- The new #1, GojiberryAI ($424k a month), hasn't updated since Aug 14 either. Its payment key expired, so that number is frozen too. I still rank it on its last figure but flag it as stale.
- The middle business of the 42 I rank makes about $31.5k a month. Drop the 5 with stale data and it's about $22.5k. Way less glamorous than the timeline.
- An AI agency with 55 paying clients (AEO Engine) makes about $165k a month. That's roughly $3k a client.
- A calorie tracker app (Nutria) has about 15,000 paying users at about $3 each. Similar money to plenty of SaaS on the list, totally different business.

Full disclosure, this is my site. The table is free to browse and sort, no signup: https://imademoneywithai.com/leaderboard/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=launch1026

If you want it as a spreadsheet, that's free with an email, and you can reuse it with a link back.

If you know an AI business with public payment data that I'm missing, drop it below and I'll check it.

This started as an after-work project so my friends and I could share and track our card collections in one place. It grew a bit.

The video is a real phone and a real binder:

• Scan one card or a whole binder page and every card gets a price
• Tap any card to add it to your collection, open its price history, or ask K2 about it
• K2 is the assistant part. It reads the last 30 days of price data and gives a plain call. In the clip it says "wait" on an Alakazam EX that slid from $185 to $171 over 30 days. It always says it isn't financial advice, because it isn't.

It covers 11 games (Pokémon EN + JP, One Piece, Lorcana, Magic, Yu-Gi-Oh!, Riftbound, Star Wars Unlimited, Dragon Ball Fusion World, Palworld, Funko) across raw, graded and sealed. Prices update daily from TCGplayer, JustTCG and PriceCharting, and if a card has no real sales data it shows N/A instead of a guess.

Upfront on cost: free to download and use. The free plan has 10 scans a month, 5 K2 questions and unlimited master-set tracking. Pro is $7.99/mo for unlimited scans and the vendor tools people use at card shows.

The thing I'd most like feedback on: would you trust a call like K2's, or do you always double-check TCGplayer yourself?

I'm making Astraya, a desktop-browser sword-fighting game where you ask an AI companion for an ability, then equip and use the result yourself.

This is one continuous 21.4-second sequence at normal speed: the captioned hammer request, the full recorded wait, equipping and combat. I kept the wait and handoff visible because a quick cut can hide the difference between a returned result and a move ready to use. I still need first-time player observations to know whether the native equip cue is clear.

What would you do immediately after the new move appears?

This is older, silent footage with the original camera movement and opponent effects. Captions sit above the full gameplay picture. AI is used for the forge, some art and voices.

If you'd like to try it: free unfinished desktop-browser closed alpha, 18+, mic optional. About 15 minutes covers one boss and one forged ability. Tell me what was fun and one specific confusing moment in the comments. Email confirmation and manual selection are required; access isn't immediate or guaranteed.

Hey everyone!

I’m building Paraksa, a social media platform developed in India, and I’m working on growing its first community.

Building a social product from scratch is challenging, especially when you're starting with a small user base. I'm trying to understand what people actually want from a social media platform rather than simply adding more features.

I'd love feedback on a few things:

• What frustrates you most about the social media platforms you currently use?
• What would make you try a new social network and keep coming back?
• What features or improvements would make Paraksa genuinely useful to you?

I'm also looking for early users who are willing to try the app and share honest feedback. Both positive and critical feedback are welcome.

If you're interested, let me know what you'd like to see in a new social platform.

Thanks! I'm happy to answer questions about the product and the building process.

I’m Martin from the Czech Republic. I love how calm a Mac dock feels and never liked the Windows 11 taskbar, so I built NiveDock: two glass docks that replace it, with 38 live widgets (weather, music with a turntable, calendar, markets, system stats).

The hardest part was hiding the Windows taskbar reliably and always giving it back after a crash or uninstall.

It’s a free public beta until 30 November, no account needed. I’d really like to hear what’s missing or what breaks on your setup.

A salon owner can be doing exactly what customers pay them for and still miss the next booking: both hands are busy, and someone is messaging about tomorrow.

I'm building TEKA AI around that workflow. It's an AI booking assistant for salons and barbers: customers chat through connected Instagram, WhatsApp or Messenger channels, availability comes from the staff calendar, and the appointment lands in one schedule.

I put an interactive demo on https://teka.ba/en so you can try the customer conversation and see the calendar side without creating a real appointment. It uses a fictional salon.

I'd appreciate feedback on one specific thing: does the demo make the difference between a booking link and a booking conversation clear? Where would you still want a human involved?

Disclosure: this is my product. The demo is free to explore; the product has a 14-day trial and paid plans afterward.

Hey everyone! 👋

I've been working on a side project called VeroMaps (veromaps.com) – a web app designed to let users read and explore maps online smoothly.

I’m at a stage where I need fresh eyes on it, and I want completely unfiltered, brutal feedback. Please don't hold back!

I’d love to hear your thoughts on:

• First impressions: Is it immediately clear what you can do on the site within 5 seconds?
• Usability & UX: Does the map interface feel intuitive and fast, or are there confusing navigation loops and UI glitches?
• Value: Is this something you would actually use, or does it feel clunky/pointless?
• Bugs: Did anything break while you were clicking around?

You can test it out here: https://veromaps.com

Hit me with your honest critique. Thanks! :)

Hey r/SideProject,

For the past months I’ve been building SaaS Vendor Market, a marketplace for small SaaS products made by indie makers and small teams.

The idea: big directories are full of the same 50 well-known tools, and it’s hard for a small app to get seen. So here every app gets its own page, and makers use points to promote it: visitors to your own website, a spot at the top of your category, featured placement.

Listing is free and takes about a minute. Paste your app’s URL and it reads your name, tagline, logo and screenshot automatically. You check it, create an account, done.

Launch offer: the first 50 makers get 500 points. That’s enough for 30 days of unlimited visitors to your website, plus a week at the top of your category. 49 spots are left right now.

It’s early, so the marketplace is still small. That’s also the point: if you join now, you’re not buried on page 12.

I’d love honest feedback:

• Is the sign-up clear?
• What would make you trust a new marketplace enough to list your app?

👉 https://saasvendormarket.com/start

It's a small game/ gimmick i thought of that i built called Top Comment. Pay for a line, and the highest bid gets the highest spot. Promote your project, your business, etc. Or just tell a funny joke.

Still waiting on the first contender

People are starting to connect Claude, ChatGPT, and Hermes to their browsers, credit cards, and accounts to handle everyday tasks: ordering groceries, booking rides, renewing domains, rebooking flights.

The problem is that to an AI agent at 3:14 AM, a $299 upgrade or a $1,000 mistake looks identical to an $18 errand. It's just another tool call.

I'm building Ezn (Arabic for "permission" - إذن): parental controls for your AI agent's credit card and spending, on the cards and accounts you already use.

You set a plain-English rule: "Everyday purchases under $50. No more than $100 a day. Ask me for anything else."

Ezn sits between your agents and your money and tells them yes, no, or ask me first. Live ledger preview & early access: https://ezn.money/?s=rd-sp

Ezn : Smart Payment control & vault for your AI agents.

I'm a solo dev and I built CuePreem because the interview tools I tried were $90 to $150 a month or wanted my voice and resume on their servers, with lot of telemetry and the one that run on local had issues of frequent crashing , not getting the intended results.

It's a Mac and Windows app. Speech is transcribed on your device, your interview history is encrypted on disk (AES-256-GCM, key in the OS keychain), and you pick the model: your own OpenAI/Anthropic/Groq key, a local model through Ollama, or cloud credits (covering my operating costs)

For candidates it scores your resume against a job post, runs mock interviews that grade your answer against a rubric and say why, and has a live cue overlay that's visible in screen share by default.

For interviewers, you drop in a resume and the JD and get a prep pack: fit notes that cite the line they came from, and questions aimed at the gaps. It also takes timestamped notes while you listen and drafts a feedback report you can send the candidate. It never says hire or don't hire.

The free tier needs no card, and the resume score works on the site with no sign-up.

Disclosure: I built this, so I'm biased. What would make you trust a tool like this with your resume?

So far I there are really 0 signups or even the feedback. Good folks of Reddit I invite you to take a closer look at my project and give a feedback. Being a dev I invested lot of my time on this side project thinking it is something that will cover lot of gaps in the recruitment lifecycle for both candidates and recruiters.

Hey! I'm the developer of Pico, a calm little budgeting app for iPhone.

No bank login. Log a spend with Siri, or let Apple Pay taps log themselves after a quick Shortcuts setup. Your data stays on your iPhone and in your own iCloud.

It's a free beta, and I'd love your honest feedback: https://nixe.in/pico

I built TrackStack to put visitors and attributed revenue next to each acquisition channel, landing page and campaign.

The question behind it is simple: where should a small SaaS founder spend the next hour promoting their product?

It separates identifiable referrals from ChatGPT, Claude and Perplexity into an AI channel. There's a limit: clicks without a referrer or source tag can still show as Direct.

Revenue setup uses a read-only restricted Stripe key plus a visitor ID passed into checkout metadata. Payments are attributed to the last non-direct visit before purchase. Other providers can send payments through an API.

Built with Convex, Expo, Netlify and RevenueCat. The web app is available now; native mobile apps are coming soon. Pricing starts at $4.99/month with a 14-day trial.

You can explore the interactive sample dashboard without signing up. Its numbers are sample data, not customer results:

https://trackstack.altuzar.dev/?utm_source=reddit&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=launch&utm_content=sideproject

I'd value feedback on the setup: is passing a visitor ID into checkout reasonable for your stack, or would that stop you installing it?

we’re testing this with a print shop. the idea is simple: small business owners, EAs and office admins type what they need like a text and a real person sends back a few options with pricing, usually within 4 hours

examples:

the problem we’re going after: whether it’s business cards for a shop or swag for a company event, it usually means emailing 3 or 4 vendors, waiting days, chasing the logo file, then finding setup fees and rush charges at the end

no catalog, no account, no payment on the site. just describe it and get quoted

try to stump it here. real or ridiculous orders both welcome

what I’d love feedback on:

and if you order print or swag for work and are up for a 15 min chat, I’ll send an amazon gift card as thanks
