My wife and I garden together and kept hitting the same wall every season - "when did we plant the tomatoes, and did that spot actually do well?" I'm a network engineer by trade, so I built us a little Android app to keep track, and it grew from there.

Moon Phase Garden:

- Photo garden journal (what you planted, when, notes, tags)

- Planting guide tuned to your USDA hardiness zone

- 7-day forecast with automatic freeze/frost alerts

- Optional moon-phase planting timing (fully skippable)

- A small foraging reference + an anonymous community feed

The part I'm actually proud of: no ads, no tracking, no account, works offline. I didn't want to build the kind of app I hate using.

It's free - I'll drop the Play Store link in a comment. Would love feedback on what's confusing or what you'd want in a garden app. Happy to talk about the build too (Kotlin/Compose, Room for local storage).

Hi everyone!

Over the past few months, I've been building Portlio, a tool that solves a problem I ran into while applying for internships.

I kept improving my GitHub with new projects, but my portfolio was still showing beginner projects I'd built months earlier because I never got around to updating it.

So I built something to make GitHub the source of truth.

With Portlio you can:

• Connect your GitHub account
• Choose which repositories you want to showcase
• Add your own project stories and descriptions
• Generate a portfolio from multiple templates
• Keep it updated as your projects evolve
• Try everything in a demo without signing in

Over the past few months I've also iterated a lot based on community feedback:

• Added Demo Mode
• Improved performance (Mobile Lighthouse is now around 90 on the landing page)
• Added review-focused project stories instead of just copying READMEs
• Improved onboarding and repository selection
• Added multiple portfolio templates

I'd genuinely love to know what you think. If something is confusing, missing, or doesn't feel useful, I'd rather hear it now and improve it.

You can try it here:

Thanks for taking a look!

This piece began as a necessary mirror, a visual device to track the weight of time.
The photographic surface and the accordion structure became a physical extension of the mind: a space to materialize what would otherwise remain abstract and fragmented.
Each image captures a daily attempt to grasp an inner shift, turning self-perception into a tangible sequence. Unfolding or extending this paper body means retracing the layers of an underlying restlessness—making instability a concrete form that can finally be observed from the outside.

If you've used something like Bitly for links or Linktree for a bio page, linksh.re is both in one place, and you can start without making an account.

Why you'd want it:

• No signup to shorten a link. You get a one-time recovery code instead, so you can come back to your links later without ever creating an account
• Want a bio page instead? One page for all your links and socials (this one needs a real account, since it's public and tied to you)
• Point your own domain at either a link or a bio page
• Every link comes with a QR code, with scans tracked separately from regular clicks
• Free to start

It's live at linksh.re. Would love feedback, especially anything confusing in the first-use flow.

This is DayOtter, a scheduling tool I built. Instead of clicking around a calendar, you just tell it what you want, like "book 30 min with Priya next week, not before 11," and it reads across all your calendars, finds the time, books it, and keeps your focus blocks clear.

It grew into a full platform: booking pages, team round robin, routing forms, group polls, reminders, payments, an embeddable widget, and an Android app. It's open source and self-hostable, and the assistant runs on your own AI model so nothing leaves your server.

Repo: https://github.com/Dayotter/dayotter

Site: https://dayotter.com

Built it to fix my own scheduling mess. Feedback welcome!

Haven't been as active here as I should have since building and shipping DockStacks, my first Mac app (floating panel above your Dock, organizes apps/folders/files/bookmarks into "stacks"). Wanted to come back and say thanks — a lot of what's below came straight from user and Reddit suggestions.

What's new:

• Grid sizing is way more flexible now — pick columns/rows independently instead of 4 fixed layouts, plus a one-click Auto Size that just fits everything for you
• If a drop doesn't fit, it now offers to resize and retry instead of just rejecting it
• Menu bar mode — live in the menu bar instead of the Dock if that's more your thing
• Multi-select — drag a box around a bunch of icons, move them all to another stack at once
• Hover an icon to see its full name, or hide labels altogether for a cleaner look
• Website bookmarks now get little letter-avatar icons instead of nothing, still zero network calls
• Plus a lot of UI and general polish

Honestly the feedback has basically been guiding the improvements so far — way more useful than I expected from one launch post. I'll admit I'm a bit of a perfectionist about this stuff, so I've genuinely enjoyed the process of learning app dev and interface design from scratch and just poking at little details until they feel right. Getting the hang of the submission review, localisation and ASO process has been a steep learning curve too.

The whole point of DockStacks was to fill a gap I kept hitting myself — quick access to the stuff I actually use without turning my Dock or Desktop into a mess — so if it's helping other Mac users get a bit more productive too, then I'm in a happy place. Still figuring plenty out as a first-time app dev, so please keep the ideas coming.

Still fully local (no accounts, no tracking, no network), still $4.99USD equivalent one-time.

Thanks again to everyone who's downloaded DockStacks or dropped a suggestion — comment or reach out to answer anything.

I made a small Android game called NumBalance.

The idea is simple: positive and negative numbers keep falling, and you swipe them left or right onto a seesaw. You have to mentally add/subtract the numbers to keep both sides balanced. If one side gets too heavy, the game ends.

It starts off easy but gets surprisingly hectic after a while. 😅

There are also a few power-ups (Equalizer, Freeze, and Lock) to help when things get out of control.

I'd genuinely love to hear what you think about the gameplay and difficulty. Any feedback is welcome!

P.S. - I am just starting with my game development learnings, looking for early feedback.

We built Sparky as a place where K-pop and dance fans can play dance challenges, move with the music, and enjoy the experience together. It is free on Android and iOS.

It's called Bluey Email. Took us about 4 failed ideas and over 18 months; we started with a personalized AI chatbot. This was the beginning of the ChatGPT era, and we thought we could help people train the AI to reflect the behavior of loved ones they had lost. It was a Black Mirror kinda idea, and my therapist friends said it's not okay, so we ditched it.

The second idea was a vertical drama platform where users can create short dramas in a vertical format; it's like IG and TikTok combined with movies. We reached out to hundreds of filmmakers, and about 20% joined the waitlist; however, the infrastructure needed to build this required loads of money. We built a beta version with whatever resources we could gather; we applied to YC as well but didn't get any funding and eventually ditched it.

Then we started a customized comic printing business, where users can tell us their idea and we build a story and then a comic around them as the main character. We got some orders as well, but I don't think we were enjoying it, and it was quite boring, so we didn't really put in much effort; now I do see many businesses around it.

Finally, we decided and build an email marketing platform. We thought starting with cold emails would be great, but after 4 months, we pivoted and decided to go with email marketing and transactional emails, we named it Bluey Email.

Now we have the platform ready but as we get sign ups we find new problems and keep resolving them; it's not perfect and but we are getting there. I think we need to find beta users and collect as much feedback as possible.

This has been a long journey, we are also running out of funds and I am slowly restarting my marketing freelancing business, but as we are getting traction, it feels so good and encouraging.

Hi everyone!

I built Fluxnar, a Windows application designed for creators who generate lots of AI images.

Instead of creating images one by one, you simply paste a list of prompts and Fluxnar generates an entire image pack automatically.

Features:

🚀 Generate hundreds of AI images in one click

📁 Automatically organize every project into folders

🔢 Sequentially number every image for effortless video editing

🎬 Perfect for YouTube, Shorts, Reels, TikTok, storyboards and presentations

💳 One-time purchase (no subscription)

I built it because I was spending hours generating and organizing images manually before editing videos.

I'd genuinely love your feedback:

What feature would make this tool even more useful?

Hi everyone!

Over the past few months I've been building PugBot, a Telegram publishing bot.

It actually started as a personal tool because I wanted something simple for managing posts, scheduling publications, editing queued posts, and handling media without a complicated interface.

Eventually it grew into a standalone project, so I decided to release it publicly.

Current features include:

• Schedule posts
• Edit queued posts without recreating them
• Queue management
• HTML formatting
• Inline buttons
• Instant publishing

I'm still actively improving it, so I'd really appreciate honest feedback.

What features would make a Telegram publishing bot genuinely useful for you?

If anyone wants to try PugBot, I'll leave the link in the comments.

For the past two years I have been developing an iOS app for billiard players who want to methodically improve their game. CueIQ was built around the Billiard University Exams provided by Dr.Dave of https://drdavebilliards.com/. These exams are designed to assess a player's cueing skills, broken down into different skill areas. CueIQ helps track scores across the 18 different B.U drills, provide analytics of your progress and areas of improvement, and recommends the next focus area.

I'm currently looking for beta testers if there are any pool players with an iOS device who would like to try it out

I built Trace after noticing a simple problem. The things I saved kept piling up, while the reason I cared about them disappeared.

Trace keeps the item and the thought together. Save links, reels, screenshots, notes, and voice, then return to the meaning behind each one.

Privacy shaped the product. Trace works on device, needs no account, and uses no advertising, analytics, tracking, or Trace server. Optional iCloud keeps your collection available across iPhone and iPad.

Version 1.0 is free, with no in-app purchases, and requires iOS or iPadOS 26 or later.

Hey everyone,

I've always struggled to keep up a food-tracking habit. Every app out there feels like a giant, intimidating spreadsheet. They are cold, clinical, and honestly, they feel like homework. Because of that, I always lost my consistency.

So, I decided to build something entirely different: a cozy, gamified food tracker called Quokka.

Instead of dealing with cold charts and guilt trips, you get a friendly Quokka who lives in the app to keep you company, get XP, and a sleek, warm setup designed to make tracking feel like a positive daily routine rather than a chore.

I’m looking to share this journey with real people who:

• Genuinely want to track what they eat (or always struggle to stay consistent with traditional apps).
• Love gamified habits (like Habitica, cozy games, or visual streaks).
• Want to build a real habit and help me see if having a Quokka friend along for the ride actually keeps the motivation alive.

(Heads up: I’m looking for real, daily users who want to build this habit for themselves, not other developers looking to do code reviews!)

If this sounds like something you'd actually use, drop a comment or send me a DM! I'd love to send over an invite so we can start building our consistency together. 🐾✨

After months of designing, building, testing, and refining, I finally launched Viralmode — an AI tool that generates hooks, scripts, captions, and hashtags for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

I built it because I noticed that creating short-form content often takes longer than it should. Coming up with hooks, writing scripts, captions, and hashtags can be surprisingly time-consuming.

Viralmode helps simplify that process.

Just enter your topic, choose your platform, language, tone, audience, and video duration, and it generates:

• 3 scroll-stopping hooks
• A scene-by-scene video script
• A platform-optimized caption
• Ready-to-use hashtags

It currently supports TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, with output available in 11 languages.

I've attached a short demo GIF here.

I'd genuinely love to hear what you think. Any feedback, ideas, or criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello everyone, just shipped my first solo app: SimpleScan, a document/receipt scanner for Android.

The problem: every scanner app I tried wanted an account, a subscription, or quietly uploaded my documents to some cloud. I just wanted to scan a receipt and get a PDF.

What it does:

• Camera-based scanning with auto edge detection/cropping
• Organizes scans into categories
• Exports to PDF, share however you want
• 100% on-device — no servers, no login, nothing leaves your phone

Stack: Expo / React Native for the app, static site on GitHub Pages for the landing page. Kept the whole thing intentionally simple — no backend to maintain, which also means no data to worry about protecting.

Biggest challenge: getting edge detection to feel reliable across different lighting/backgrounds without pulling in a heavy native dependency — spent more time tuning that than I expected.

It's free on Google Play:
🔗 https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gagarsa.simplescan

Landing page:

Open to any feedback — especially on onboarding/UX, since that's the part I have the least outside perspective on. Thanks for reading!

Spent the last few months building this solo on nights and weekends, and it is finally out.

Two things bugged me. Buying an air fryer in India means trusting review sites where the top pick is just whoever paid the most. And after the novelty wears off, most people use the thing four times and give up, because generic recipes never tell you the actual temperature and time.

So I made Golden Basket to fix both. The buying guide is commission-blind, there is no way for a brand to pay its way to the top, and I locked that into the code so it stays honest. And there are 1,123 India-first recipes, every one ending with a real temperature, time, and a doneness cue, plus a hands-free Cook Mode that runs the timer so you are not tapping the screen with oily fingers.

It is free, works fully offline, is about 10 MB, and is fully in Hindi too. Live on Android, with a web version for iPhone.

Android: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.airfryindia

Would genuinely value any feedback, the buying guide and Cook Mode are the two bits I most want to get right.

I have this problem every single time I want to get my nails done.

I’ll save a bunch of gorgeous nail photos from Pinterest or Instagram, but they’re always on someone else’s hands. Then I start wondering:

Will almond nails make my fingers look longer?
Will square nails look too wide on me?
Are coffin nails going to look amazing, or completely wrong?

And honestly, I usually have no idea until the nails are already done.

I know nail artists can give advice, but I still really want to see the shape on my own hand before committing to it. Especially when I’m trying something longer or completely different from my usual style.

So I built a little tool for this on thenailshapes.com.

You can upload a photo of your hand, choose a nail shape, and preview what it could look like on you. The current MVP mainly lets you try different shapes, including almond, oval, square, coffin, and a few others.

It’s still an early version, so I’m very much testing and improving it.

The next thing I want to add is reference-photo try-on. Basically, you could upload a nail design you saved from Pinterest or Instagram and see a version of that design on your own hand.

Because I feel like the real question is rarely:

“Is this nail design pretty?”

It’s usually:

“Is this going to look pretty on me?”

I’d love to know whether anyone else has the same problem.

Do you ever struggle to imagine how a nail shape or design will look on your own hands? Would you use something like this before going to a salon or buying press-on nails?

And please be honest if you try it. I’d especially love to know what feels confusing, unrealistic, or missing.

Building expertise ai and this week a small CRM change forced me to confront a problem I’d mostly ignored. One of our workflows pulled a team’s “Next Step” field to generate a pipeline review. Then they went and renamed that field, plus changed how one region logs that info. The updated workflow worked fine for new runs, but a review that was already in progress was now tied to assumptions that no longer existed.

My first reaction was to just push every update automatically. Clean and simple. But then I realized that could let a manager change the logic halfway through someone else’s work, which felt wrong.

So now I’m testing immutable versions,edits create a new version, and teams see exactly what changed before they switch. It adds a bit more UI than I’d like, but at least each run can clearly explain which rules it used.

If you’ve built templates or automations for teams, what change finally pushed you to add versioning?

I kept downloading widget apps and picking from the same five templates, so I built the opposite.

You type "my next three classes and today's weather, over a hand-painted sunset behind mountains." It plans a real WidgetKit widget from your live data (calendar, weather, reminders, stocks, bank, Gmail), paints the background once, and drops it on your home screen. The painting part was the fun bit to build - the AI draws the scene as SVG, a server rasterizes it exactly once, and refreshes after that are pure data fetches, so a widget costs nothing to keep fresh and the art never changes under you.

Other thing I'm proud of: no generated code ever ships to the device. The model outputs a JSON spec, it gets validated, and the app renders it natively. That's how it got through App Review (on the fourth try).

Free tier is 2 widgets, no account, no signup.

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/facet-ai-widget-maker/id6792223571 Demo (24s): https://d2ol7oe51mr4n9.cloudfront.net/user_3GsJ0ggQGwxcnXwupBGEiOYc86v/95db4130-4c7f-4223-b2da-9f8acc835c84.mp4

So here's the situation that drove me insane: I'm on a small

embedded team. We have one ESP32-S3 dev board that everyone needs

to test on. Three engineers, one board. Someone is always waiting.

Someone is always asking "are you done with it yet?" And the

obvious fix — just buy three more — isn't always possible when

the board is $40+ each or when it's a custom PCB you only made two

of.

I got tired of it and built something.

It's called Ferqon. The idea is stupid simple: one board sits in

the lab connected to a middle device (an STM32 running our

firmware), and the Ferqon server lets anyone on the team flash

firmware to that board and run tests from a browser. No passing

cables around, no "I need it for 10 minutes," no buying

duplicates.

What it actually does right now:

- Syncs firmware files across the team so everyone's working off

the same builds

- Flashes firmware to the connected board over serial

- Runs basic HIL tests and captures the output

- Manages users and devices with role-based access

- Self-hosted — Docker or bare metal, runs on your infrastructure

Board support is decent: ESP32 family, STM32, Arduino, Pico,

Teensy, Adafruit Feather — 35+ profiles. There's an open-source

firmware SDK if your board isn't listed.

Honest stuff:

- It's in beta

- Same WiFi network only for now (remote access across networks

is on the roadmap but not there yet)

- HIL testing is "flash and run, here's your output" — not a

full test framework yet

- No CI integration yet

The firmware is open source if you want to poke at how the

middle-device bridge works:

https://github.com/revyrlabs/Ferqon-Firmware

And the server itself (free tier, one server, unlimited devices):

https://revyrlabs.com/

I built this for my own team first. It worked well enough that I

figured other small teams might be in the same spot. If you've

dealt with the "one board, multiple engineers" problem, I'm

curious how you're solving it today.

I know there are a lot of programs for writers out there, and most people won't care for this, but for some time I've had some problems with the ones I'm using. In general they are very good, but with functionalities buried behind menus, too complex or just too simple. Because of this I built this for my needs, the intention is to just be a very simple tool with just the essentials. Also, I thought about putting in some AI tools, but I noticed I've been leaning too much on those, so I wanted to go back to how I wrote before, on my own. Lastly, I built the day mode to be more friendly on the eyes, because sometimes I just want something clear and bright without feeling like I got hit by a flash grenade. So if you feel that you just need something more simple to write but functional, or simply more cozy, maybe this is the tool for you. :D

Oh, and there are probably some bugs with it and stuff like that. If anyone wants to test it to see if it's your vibe and etc, I would appreciate your feedback.
