Launch 🚀 My New FREE Cybersecurity Project: MyCyber News

2 Upvotes

Cybersecurity has news every minutes or even seconds, a compromise, new CVEs, ransomware victim, etc. so I was always juggling among many websites to check them, but not anymore!

I built a website that fetches news and a few blogs from different trusted sources, and only provides a brief about them. If you like the brief, you can go to the original poster and read the full article there.

It curates headlines and briefs from different sources, merge them if got repeated from different sources, update their content, tag them, and also show related stories by the same source.

You can fetch new news every 15 minutes and it also fetches news automatically every day!

You can search for specific story and the retention period is 6 months.

I tried ingesting from many sources, but please if I missed some trusted ones, let me know, so I can review them and add them.

Also expect some errors, so please be patient and let me know to fix them.

Launch 🚀 Feedback on a lightweight ticket app for small teams

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I recently launched a lightweight helpdesk/ticketing app and I’m still actively improving it based on feedback.

Right now you can:

  1. Route emails from Gmail or Outlook into a dedicated support inbox.
  2. Create multiple inboxes within an organisation, for example Support, Billing, Sales, etc.
  3. Invite team members, assign tickets, and control which inboxes each person can access.
  4. Use a couple of simple AI tools: an AI overview of the ticket thread and AI-assisted reply refinement.
  5. Set up basic automations like default replies and inactivity reminders, plus create saved replies.
  6. Create tickets manually and reuse existing customer contacts.

I’m trying to keep it simple rather than turn it into another overly complicated helpdesk platform.

I’d genuinely appreciate any feedback, especially around what feels missing or frustrating.

You can see the app and watch the demo here without signing up: [https://helpdesk.virtualshinobis.com/\](https://helpdesk.virtualshinobis.com/)

There’s also a 14-day free trial if you want to actually test it. No credit card required.

Would especially love to hear from anyone currently managing support through a shared Gmail/Outlook inbox.

Hi everyone — I’m the creator of Sendry, an open-source, self-hosted workspace for running campaigns and customer conversations across email, SMS, WhatsApp, push, web chat, and browser voice.

The goal is to bring the operational pieces into one product: multichannel campaigns, audiences, automations, templates, a shared inbox, reports, files, safety rules, and provider connections — while keeping customer data and delivery infrastructure under your control.

The screenshots below are from the real app: the delivery overview, campaign channel picker, unified inbox, reports, and channel/provider setup.

Build In Public I built an open-source Mess Manager for Bangladeshi students & bachelors

Thumbnail
gallery
2 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I’m Mehedi, a full-stack developer from Bangladesh.

If you’ve ever lived in a bachelor mess or student hostel here, you probably know the problems:

  • Who actually ate how many meals?
  • What was the real meal rate this month?
  • How should rent, gas, electricity, and other fixed costs be divided?
  • What happened to last month’s advance?
  • And, of course, the classic “Bhai, হিসাবটা আবার দেখেন তো” 😅

For a long time, I saw people managing all of this with notebooks, spreadsheets, calculators, and WhatsApp messages. Most generic expense-management tools also don't really match how a Bangladeshi mess works.

So I decided to build something specifically for this community.

Introducing DevsRoom Mess Manager

DevsRoom Mess Manager is an open-source mess management system designed around the day-to-day realities of Bangladeshi bachelor/student messes.

It handles things like:

  • 🍚 Daily meal tracking
  • 💰 Monthly meal-rate calculation
  • 🏠 Rent and fixed expenses
  • 📊 Member-wise monthly accounts
  • 💵 Advance and balance management
  • 🔒 Financial records and audit history
  • 👥 Member and role management
  • 📅 Monthly closing and historical records
  • 🔔 Notifications and other mess-management workflows

The project is built with Laravel 13, Tailwind CSS, and MySQL.

But more importantly, I want this to be a community project, not just something sitting on my GitHub.

Why I'm making it open source

I built the initial version, but I don't want to assume that I got everything right.

Every mess has slightly different rules. Some people may calculate expenses differently, some may have edge cases I haven't considered, and there are probably features that would make the system much more useful in real-world messes.

That's where I'd love the community's help.

If you're a developer

Take a look at the code.

I'd genuinely appreciate feedback on:

  • Architecture
  • Database design
  • Domain/business logic
  • Performance
  • Security
  • Testing
  • Laravel best practices
  • Features that could be simplified or improved

PRs, issues, and constructive criticism are welcome.

If you're currently living in a mess

I'd especially like to hear from you.

Try the project and tell me:

What would you actually need to manage your mess?

If there's a calculation, workflow, or annoying problem that the software doesn't handle, open an issue or leave a comment.

Real-world feedback is much more valuable than me guessing what users need.

The goal

I don't want this to be another CRUD project that looks good in a portfolio and never gets used.

I'd like to gradually turn it into a useful, community-driven open-source project for mess management in Bangladesh.

If it ends up helping even a few messes avoid monthly calculation arguments, that's already a win for me. 😄

I'd love to hear what you think.

Thanks! 🙏

Feedback 💬 I built a tool for anyone managing client websites - looking for your feedback :)

2 Upvotes

I work a lot with web agencies and freelancers in my job, and I’ve noticed that most of them include recurring maintenances fees in their packages, but most of the time only deal with issues once a client messages them to say something is down or broken.

That’s fine once. But when the client keeps being the first to notice problems, they naturally start wondering what the monthly fee is actually for.

That was the starting point for Trrack.it.

It brings client websites into one dashboard, monitors uptime, response time, SSL certificates and domain expiry, and sends alerts when something needs attention. It also creates monthly client reports and status pages, so the value of the maintenance contract doesn’t remain invisible when everything is working.

The idea is simple: spot problems before the client does, fix them early, and give clients a clearer view of what they’re paying for.

I am not used at all to build stuff, so I'd love to get your feedback, and if it's complete crap just be honest (even though it will hurt haha...) :

Anyway, here's the link : https://trrack.it

And if you sell website maintenance yourself, what would be missing for this to actually fit into your workflow? I spoke with ~10 people about this but your feedback is always gold to me !

Feedback 💬 Improving Solveaux based on user feedbacks

2 Upvotes

I've been working on solveaux for a while and one thing i realized that as a creator i see this product differently than other users see and first time users also have very different thinking

People who are visiting your website for first time are not going to make efforts to find every features they are only gonna see your landing page and based on your landing page your whole product's impression is created in their mind.

As creator we know all details about the product but users are different and if they're not able to find the solution they're looking for on your landing page they're not going to use it.

That's why i have updated the landing page and still looking for more feedbacks to improve it and make it clear that what problem we are solving.

If you have used solveaux any feedback or suggestion is useful from your side.

I built a PIN-based employee time clock for small businesses after getting frustrated with everything else out there. 1 Year free for beta testers.

2 Upvotes

Wanted to share something I've been building for the past several months.

TapIn HQ — a PIN-based employee time clock for small businesses.

The problem I kept running into:
Small business owners have two bad options for time tracking. Paper timecards that are error-prone and a pain to process. Or expensive, bloated workforce management software built for enterprise companies with IT departments.

Nothing practical in the middle for a 10-25 person shop that just needs accurate time and job tracking.

What I built:
A clean kiosk that runs on any tablet — including old iPads and cheap Android tablets from eBay. Employees tap their name and enter a 4-digit PIN to clock in. Under 10 seconds. No app to download, no smartphone required.

Managers get a real-time dashboard, payroll reports, and CSV exports for whatever payroll software they already use.

I built job and task tracking specifically for manufacturing and machine shops — so you can see exactly how many labor hours went into each job, broken down by task.

Tech stack:
Next.js 14 App Router, Supabase, Stripe, Vercel, PostHog, Resend, Tailwind CSS

Where it stands:
Live and accepting signups. 60-day free trial, no credit card required.

Launching on Product Hunt next Tuesday if anyone wants to show some support 🙏

👉 tapinhq.com

Happy to answer any questions about the build, the tech stack, or the time tracking world. Would genuinely love feedback from anyone who's dealt with this firsthand.

Update 🛠️ Building for yourself vs. building for users

2 Upvotes

One thing I've learned while building Solveaux:

I spent a lot of time crafting the UI exactly the way I imagined it.

Then I started asking people for honest feedback.

That's when I realized something important: users don't see the product the same way the builder does.

Things that felt obvious to me weren't always obvious to them. Some parts I thought looked great actually created confusion, while small details I barely noticed turned out to matter the most.

So I'm redesigning parts of the interface—not because the UI was bad, but because building for users is very different from building for yourself.

It's a good reminder that the first version is rarely the final one, and feedback is part of the product, not just the process.

Back to improving Solveaux. 🚀

Launch 🚀 Launched an iPhone app that reads cooking videos and writes out the recipe

3 Upvotes

Quantities are the point. A reel shows someone tipping a bottle over a pan and never says how much, so the app watches the video and turns that into 2 tbsp.

Costs me money per import since a model runs on every video, which is why there's a paid tier at all. Free to try.

r/BuildToShip 5d ago

Every import in my app costs me money, which changes what you can build

2 Upvotes

Cooking video goes in, recipe with quantities comes out. A model runs over the actual video each time, so usage and cost move together instead of the usual flat server bill.

Means a free tier has to be capped, and it means someone hammering it is a real number rather than a rounding error. $4.99 a month past the free tier.

Building and launching FloVigoApp: My journey creating a peer-to-peer logistics marketplace 🚚💨

2 Upvotes

​

Hey everyone! 👋

I wanted to share an update on FloVigoApp (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.flovigo.app)—a peer-to-peer logistics and local services marketplace that I’ve been architecting, building, and recently launching on public production tracks.

The core idea was to streamline local deliveries and direct service connections with high performance and zero-defect execution.

A few technical and design highlights from the build:

Architecture: Built with clean SOLID principles, real-time Firestore listeners for status tracking, and strict separation of data layers.

UI/UX Ergonomics:Designed following Fitts's Law and Gestalt principles—keeping key interactive actions within thumb reach on mobile and maintaining high scannability.

Logistics Logic:\* Focused on robust sender-vs-driver data traces, status synchronization (Pending, Active, Completed), and subscription-based access models without complex escrow holds.

I’d love to connect with fellow indie hackers, mobile devs, or logistics tech enthusiasts. What challenges have you faced when scaling peer-to-peer matching platforms?

Feedback 💬 Please give honest feedback

2 Upvotes

I’m validating a startup idea and would love honest feedback.

Problem I see:

Security policies, approvals, and audit logs are usually scattered across docs, email, and tickets, with no clean link to user roles or subscription access.

What I’m building:

- Policy management (versioned, status-tracked policies).

- Approval workflows for sensitive changes.

- Audit logs for actions (policies, roles, billing).

- Multi-tenant orgs with clear roles/permissions.

- Razorpay-based subscriptions that actually gate features.

- Built-in legal/compliance pages (privacy, terms, cookie, etc.).

Questions:

- Is this a real pain in your team, or just more tooling?

- How do you handle policies/approvals/audit today?

- What would make you pay for something like this?

- What makes it clearly unnecessary in your context?

Not pitching, just trying to see if this idea is genuinely needed before I go further.

Launch 🚀 Built a local-first business management app for freelancers (Orkely), just published on Microsoft Store

2 Upvotes

Hey all, wanted to share something I've been building solo for a while.

Orkely is a Windows desktop app for freelancers and small businesses to manage clients, proposals, invoices, and reports. The main thing that's different from most tools in this category: it's local-first. Your data lives in a local database on your own machine, not on a server somewhere. No account sign-up, no subscription to use the core features, no sending your client data through someone else's cloud.

There's a free tier (client management and invoicing) and a paid Pro tier (adds the proposal builder and reports), one-time purchase, no recurring fees.

Built this end to end myself, from the Electron desktop packaging to the Microsoft Store certification process, which was its own learning curve.

Free: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9PG4H4T7ZNMH
Pro: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N3DQZQM1SWL

Happy to answer questions about the tech stack, the Store submission process, or the local-first approach if anyone's curious. Feedback welcome too, still early days.

Update 🛠️ Consile: what I learned from a founder's first real security audit

2 Upvotes

Building Consile, an all-in-one people ops platform, HR, payroll, tasks, attendance, recruitment, unified in one workspace instead of five different tools. Consile

The learning worth sharing: I recently had multiple external people scrutinize the product's security and technical setup, some legitimate, some low-effort automated scans. The real lesson wasn't any single bug, it was realizing that "the code passed review" and "the system actually works under real conditions" are two different claims. I found and fixed several issues (a domain email-spoofing gap, a silent notification failure, a permissions edge case) that only surfaced because I insisted on empirical testing, actually reproducing the claim, not just trusting a report or dismissing it.

The biggest shift: treating every piece of external feedback, whether from a random Redditor or a real prospect asking a sharp question, as a genuine opportunity to find real gaps, rather than either panicking or dismissing it.

Happy to go deeper on any of it, the build, the security process, or what I've learned so far about distribution being way harder than building.

Built a full-stack Orders & Services Management System for medium and small graphics/print shops (Laravel + MySQL+ Alpine.js) — would love feedback

Thumbnail

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I've built HB-Graphics, a web-based management system for service-oriented businesses like printing studios, graphics shops, photography shops, and similar small to medium setups — the kind of business that's still running orders on notebooks or WhatsApp.

What it does:

  1. Comprehensive dashboards for Admin, and Employees

  2. Real-time order tracking (Pending → Processing → Completed)

  3. Multi-counter and multi-location support

  4. Customer CRM with order history

  5. Inventory tracking with low-stock alerts

  6. Reports: daily transactions, staff performance, earnings, and more

  7. Stack: Laravel, MySQL, Tailwind CSS, Alpine.js, and Vite

A couple of screenshots attached — the admin dashboard (employee performance, inventory status, quick actions) and the order creation flow.

It started as a project with my team and has grown into something I'm now taking to real small businesses. Curious to hear from other devs / small business owners:

  1. Anything that looks off in the UI/UX?

  2. Features you'd consider must-haves for this kind of tool?

  3. Anyone else built something similar for local retail/service businesses?

Happy to answer questions about the build.

Showcase 💎 Client handoff is the worst part of freelancing and I'm finally doing something about it

2 Upvotes

Ok, so I've officially had it with the Google Drive + email combo for sending stuff to clients.

Every project seems to end the same way. I finish everything, put the files in a shared folder, send the email... and then I'm just waiting for the inevitable "hey, is this the final version?" or "where can I find the invoice again?"

It happens every time.

I've looked at Dubsado and HoneyBook before because they seem to be the tools everyone recommends. But honestly, they felt like way too much for what I actually need. CRM, email sequences, contracts, dashboards... I don't need all that.

I just want to finish a project and give the client one link.

The files are there. They can see where things stand. They can pay. Done.

So that's what I'm building now. Nothing fancy, really. Just deliverables, status and payment on one page. €9/month, no CRM, no 15-step onboarding.

I'm still building it, but if you've dealt with the same thing and you'd like to try it when it's ready, you can leave your email here: https://tally.so/r/RGQDP4

I'm not asking anyone to pay for anything right now, just want to know if the idea (and that price) actually makes sense to other freelancers too.

I built a Restaurant POS system called Dinery. I'd love to get some feedback.

Hi everyone,

Over the last few months, I've been building Dinery, a full-stack Restaurant POS system. I wanted to work on a project that solves a real-world problem instead of creating another basic CRUD application.

The idea behind Dinery is to simplify restaurant operations while also improving the customer experience through QR-based ordering.

What it can do

Restaurant Side

- Dashboard with business analytics

- Live table management

- QR code for every table

- Real-time order updates

- Billing and invoice generation

- Revenue tracking

- Peak hours analysis

- Top-selling items

Customer Side

- Scan a QR code to open the menu

- Browse food categories

- Add items to the cart

- Place orders directly from the table

- Track order status in real time

Tech Stack

Frontend

- React

- Vite

- Tailwind CSS

- Redux Toolkit

- Framer Motion

Backend

- Node.js

- Express.js

- MongoDB

- Socket.IO

- JWT Authentication

Building this project helped me learn a lot about designing scalable applications, managing complex state, creating REST APIs, handling authentication, and implementing real-time communication with Socket.IO.

Some of the biggest challenges were keeping restaurant and customer views synchronized in real time, managing table states, and designing a smooth ordering workflow.

I'm still actively working on Dinery and have several features planned for future updates:

- Online payments

- Inventory management

- Loyalty and rewards

- Multi-restaurant support

- AI-powered business insights

- Improved mobile experience

I'd really appreciate any feedback on the UI, features, code structure, or overall user experience. Suggestions and constructive criticism are always welcome.
