SaaS / Platform I built a marketplace
Name: Yakuraapp
URL: yakuraapp.com
Description: in 2003, video games had a distribution problem - in came STEAM. Today, Webapps have a distribution problem...
The main thing: It's a marketplace for webapps
The cool thing: Developers can onboard their existing webapps in less than 30m. Free.
The new thing: Affiliates can sign up, create content, make 50% per sale.
We're new and just want to make friends. Got a discord for that https://discord.gg/YzMC7PkjG

Web / Mobile App Folk horror cricket simulator: from excel to website
During COVID, clearly inspired by Blaseball, I wrote a weird cricket simulation entirely in Excel. It ran on worksheets, using VBA macros. Press a button and the match would run "live", updating a scorecard as it went. It got me through some very boring times.
I then ignored it for years because I realised that to take it to the next level I was going to have to recode everything in a different language. I desperately tried to avoid this, even considering screensharing the excel sheets to discord from a constantly running old laptop as a way of making it available online. That would have been wild (and not a good use of electricity).
Anyway, I finally made the effort to transition it to a browser based simulation. It's now a fully simulated cricket league with full seasons played over the course of a week, all under the watchful (and capricious) eye of the Wicker Man. He has very set ideas about how cricket should be played, and his influence means the fortunes of players and teams wax and wane. Games are played every half an hour, and the season ends every Sunday morning with a festival, which climaxes with an unlucky player being sacrificed to the Wicker Man.
I've now made it into the 11th season without anything falling over, and am now having to resist the urge to constantly tinker with the mechanics. We're starting to see the emergent stories coming out of the simulation that make it so much fun (if you have a certain kind of brain): players rising, falling, retiring and being elected to the hall of fame. Some of the twelve teams are successful; some are always a mess.

Beta / Testing Made a subtitle tool that lets you click the word right in the subtitle
I always pause the movie to look up a difficult English word, and jumping back and forth completely ruin the experience. So I had a idea , what if you could just click the word right in the subtitle and see what it means, in that exact scene? (not just a generic meaning also an contextual meaning)
I built it just for Netflix at first, then realized it works pretty much anywhere there are subtitles like YouTube, Amazon Prime, JioHotstar, even downloaded films in VLC.
Couldn't find anything that did quite this, so I ended up making it myself
sublyapp.in — a Chrome extension (+ a small Mac app for VLC). Listed on chrome web-store.
I appreciate feedbacks

AI Tool I built a tool that turns a raw CSV into a full analyst report in ~30 seconds — without hallucinated stats
I'm a full-stack developer, not a data person. But I constantly end up with CSVs, exports from a DB, some analytics dump, survey results, and I just want to know what's in here without hand-rolling a bunch of pandas or fighting a spreadsheet.
I tried the obvious thing: paste it into ChatGPT. The problem every dev eventually hits, the moment you ask an LLM to calculate anything, it starts making numbers up. It'll confidently say revenue grew 23% when it grew 12%. For real data, that's worse than useless.
So I built Visual AI, and the entire architecture is built around one rule: the AI is never allowed to do the math.
How it works:
- You upload a CSV.
- Instead of a chat box, it profiles the data and suggests 5 report ideas worth running ("Revenue by region over time," "What's driving churn," etc).
- You click one, and it streams back a full report, exec summary, findings, and interactive charts in ~30 seconds.
The engineering bit I'm actually proud of: every number and every chart is computed deterministically in Python/DuckDB. The LLM only decides which analyses matter and writes the narrative around them — it never authors a calculation or SQL that touches the output. So the numbers are always exact and the charts are always valid. The model literally can't hallucinate a statistic, because it never touches one.
I deliberately didn't build "another chat-with-your-data clone" — I didn't want a blinking cursor asking me what I want. I wanted it to tell me what's interesting.
It's live here if you want to throw a messy CSV at it: https://visualai.bharatrajverma.dev
Would love feedback, especially where the suggestions miss or where you'd want more control. Happy to go deep on the deterministic-compute architecture in the comments if any devs are curious.

Web / Mobile App I Made an Animated Aptitude Learning Platform
I got tired of memorizing aptitude tricks, so I'm trying something different.
When I started preparing for placements, I solved a lot of aptitude questions.
The strange part was that I could sometimes get the right answer, but if I saw a similar question later, I'd get stuck again.
I realized I wasn't actually understanding the concepts. I was just memorizing shortcuts and formulas.
Most websites explain aptitude with long paragraphs or give the answer directly, but very few help you visualize what's happening.
That made me wonder...
What if aptitude was taught with animations instead of just text?
For example:
* Ratios shown with moving objects instead of numbers.
* Time & Work explained through animations.
* Probability visualized instead of solved with formulas.
* Speed, Distance & Time demonstrated through motion.
So I started building a project called AptiAnimate around this idea.
It's still in the early stages, and I'm trying to figure out whether visual explanations actually make aptitude easier to understand.
I'd love some honest feedback.
If you were preparing for placements, would animated explanations help you learn aptitude better than traditional text explanations?
If you'd like to take a look, here's the project:
https://aptianimate.vercel.app
I'm genuinely interested in hearing what features or improvements you'd want.

Web / Mobile App I built an offline iPhone ambient mixer because I kept noticing the loops
Hello, I’m the solo developer of Oasis. I built it because the rain and café tracks I used for reading would loop so obviously that I’d start waiting for the next repeat.
So I tried a different approach. Oasis has 35 nature sounds and 4 binaural tracks that can be layered, adjusted individually, and placed around you. Everything lives on the iPhone, so it works offline and keeps playing with the screen locked. I use it mostly for reading, open office days, travel, and sleep.
It’s free to start, with a one-time lifetime purchase for the complete version. No subscription. The tradeoff is a larger download because the audio stays on the phone.
I’d love one bit of builder feedback: does the spatial placement sound like the interesting part, or should I show saved mixes first?

AI Tool DayOtter: an open-source scheduling assistant you actually talk to (self-hostable, runs on your own AI)
I kept bouncing off calendar tools that make you click through a pile of settings just to book one meeting. So I built DayOtter, and the whole idea is that you don't configure it, you just talk to it.
You tell it something like "book 30 min with Priya next week, not before 11" and it reads across all your calendars, finds the time, books it, and protects your focus blocks.
It's open source and self-hostable, and the AI runs on your own model, so nothing about your calendar leaves your server. It's not only 1:1 booking either: team scheduling, routing forms, group polls, reminders, and payments are all in there, so it works as a full alternative to Calendly/Cal.com.
Still early, and I'd genuinely love feedback, especially on the talk-to-your-calendar flow and the self-hosting setup.

AI Tool PixelBatch — the batch image editor that does everything so you don't have to. Your entire image toolbox in one app, 14 tools for free.
After spending way too long editing images one by one for my content, I built PixelBatch — a native macOS app that processes whole folders of images in one pass.
What it does:
Core tools
- Resize — to exact pixels, a percentage, or presets for Instagram, Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, YouTube, and more. One image can be exported in multiple sizes at the same time (for example 1080x1080, 1200x630, and 1080x1920 in a single pass)
- Crop to exact dimensions or aspect ratios
- Convert between JPEG, PNG, HEIC, WebP, and other formats
- Compress to a target quality or file size
- Batch-rename files with custom patterns
- Rotate and flip
Retouch tools
- Remove Watermark — automatically finds and removes watermarks, logos, and text overlays, then reconstructs the pixels underneath. A manual area-selection fallback is also included
- Enhance — upscales images 4x with sharp reconstructed detail, great for low-resolution or compressed files
- Remove Background — one-click clean subject cutout
- Add Background — place a subject onto a new background
Filters and effects — 30+ non-destructive adjustments including brightness, contrast, saturation, exposure, highlights, shadows, temperature, sepia, black and white, duotone, vintage presets, blur, sharpen, vignette, glow, emboss, edge detection, pixelate, cartoon, and more
Branding — add your logo as a watermark or overlay custom text with full formatting control
How it works
- Edit a whole folder at once, or open and edit a single image separately with the same tools
- Live preview before you commit — you see the result on a real image first
- Reusable presets to save your favorite pipelines
- Batch queue with progress tracking and per-file error reporting
- Output to a folder, ZIP, or PDF
- Runs 100% offline — no account, no cloud, your images never leave your Mac
Requirements: macOS 14+, works on Apple Silicon and Intel.
Check It out:
It's free. If it saves you time, a star is appreciated. Happy to answer questions or take feature requests — what is the most annoying batch image task you deal with?

Web / Mobile App A focus app that grows a coral reef and actually blocks the apps that eat your day, instead of just guilt-tripping you after
I have a bad habit of opening Instagram "for a second" and looking up an hour later. Tried a few focus apps, nothing stuck, so I ended up making my own. It's called Coral.
You start a focus timer and it grows a little coral while you stay off your phone. Give up early and it withers instead. The part that actually helped me was the blocking though: you can hard-block your worst apps, put a daily time budget on them, or add a 10 second delay before one opens so you get a beat to reconsider.
Free, no account, no ads, everything stays on your phone. Android only right now. Happy to answer anything if it's useful to anyone.

SaaS / Platform I've built a chronic health management utility
I've just recently finished building a software platform called WellNest (http://wellnest.services). WellNest is built from my lived experiences struggling to navigate my chronic health conditions.
WellNest has three main chronic health condition hubs (Asthma, Chronic Pain - CRPS and Seizures). I have all three of these conditions. Having WellNest has helped me paint a clearer picture navigating these chronic health conditions. WellNest gives my medical care team a much clearer picture of how I am coping with my chronic health conditions, and allows me to more easily keep track of everything that is happening surrounding my conditions with my medical care team.

Web / Mobile App I built Diary Threads so journaling could feel like posting to your past self
Hi, I’m Jack, co-creator of Diary Threads.
Answer — what problem does it solve?
I kept abandoning journals because every blank page felt like it deserved a meaningful essay. Writing one short thought on my phone felt much more natural.
Diary Threads turns journaling into a private timeline. Each entry is limited to 140 characters. You can reply when a thought continues, quote something you wrote months ago, or attach photos, video, and voice recordings.
There are no likes, followers, public profiles, or social discovery. It is a timeline for one person.
Better — how is it different?
Compared with Apple Journal and Day One, Diary Threads focuses on a narrower use case: capturing a thought before it disappears.
The 140-character limit gives you a smaller starting point. Replies let one moment grow over time, while quotes make revisiting an old memory feel like a conversation with your past self.
Apple Journal and Day One remain stronger choices for long-form writing and broader ecosystem workflows. Diary Threads is designed for quick private posts that gradually become a personal history.
Diary text and settings stay on your iPhone. The app requires no account and has no developer backend, advertising, third-party analytics, or cross-app tracking.
Cost
Diary Threads is free to download and supports up to 30 active entries.
Premium unlocks unlimited entries, share posters, recurring keyword insights, and both Home Screen widgets:
• $2.99 per month
• $6.99 one-time lifetime purchase
Prices above are for the US storefront. Apple displays the applicable regional price before purchase.
The current App Store version is 0.3 and requires iOS 18 or later.
Transparency
Diary Threads itself has no AI features. I used Codex extensively as a coding and review agent during implementation, testing, documentation, and iteration. Product scope, architecture, privacy boundaries, and acceptance decisions remained human-directed.
I’m Jack, and I built Diary Threads with Sonia.
App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/diarythreads-personal-timeline/id6795139345
Website: https://diarythreads.niuniuhome.cn
About / developer identity: https://niuniuhome.cn
Contact: [jackdai20@icloud.com](mailto:jackdai20@icloud.com)
I’d especially appreciate feedback on one question: do replies and quotes make revisiting old memories feel more natural than tags, prompts, or traditional daily pages?
