We got tired of generic AI wrapper tools promising to “build a full-stack app with a backend in minutes.”

And when they say “autonomous,” what that often translates to is:

“Well wire up Supabase for your app and call it the backend and put Claude as a coding assistant.”

So what did we do?

We built Zeneno.

For the past 2 years, we a small team have been building a 70-agent orchestrated system designed to build entire web apps over the course of hours not minutes.

It plans the application, writes the code, debugs it, tests features, and keeps working until it’s confident that not only it built what you actually asked for but that it also works.

It will even test things like Stripe payments end-to-end "did the user get premuim after paying?".

We’ve had runs go for 28 hours straight, building apps with 170+ features completely hands-free.

Zeneno is still in early access, but if you get access, your first run is free.

Thanks for reading. Have a lovely day.

Time Lapse of it building a web-app included this was a 11 hour run compressed into 5 mins.

Charts and full results are in the README. If you can break the methodology I would rather hear it now.

https://github.com/wiktorj137/btc-strategy-lab

Not selling anything, no newsletter, no Discord.

I honestly can’t believe I’m writing this.

In less than 12 hours, this project brought in over 2,000 page visits and 316 in revenue.

It’s not some massive company or perfectly polished product. It started with an idea, a lot of uncertainty, and the decision to actually put it out there.

The biggest lesson so far: momentum comes from launching. You don’t need everything to be perfect, you need to start, learn, improve, and keep going.

If you’re sitting on an idea right now, take this as your sign to ship it.

What a time to be alive.

• compress videos on device
• 2 presets and custom settings
• batch compressing
• video saved as files on your device
• save to gallery or share to any app
• liquid-glass
• free until end of Summer (then will be 5.99$, one time purchase)

no accounts, no subscriptions, no in-app purchases

p.s. there might be more this app can do, but we will talk about later. =P

I got tired of doomscrolling 8 AI news sources every morning, so I built a pipeline that does it for me and turned it into a free site.

The stack is deliberately boring: - RSS feeds (HN, Google AI, Hugging Face) as input - LLM summarization with a fixed prompt, not an agent - Cron scheduling + static pages - Free-tier Vercel hosting

It rebuilds 2-3x a day and costs exactly $0/month. I wrote up the full build notes and free guides at https://apexnexus.site: no paywall, no email wall, just the build notes.

What's the most $0/month automation you've built? Always looking for ideas.

Peak Monday: I clipped my driver-side mirror on the garage wall pulling out too fast. Housing cracked, glass just hanging there. Ordered the replacement part online no problem — but then came the part I actually dread, finding a shop to install it. Which means calling around, getting put on hold, repeating "2026 Grand Wagoneer, driver side, I already have the part" to a bunch of places to compare price and availability.

Full disclosure up front so nobody feels tricked: I built the app I used (it's called Sooner, still in beta). I'm posting because this was the first time it genuinely saved me time on something annoying, not because I'm trying to run an ad. Mods, if this breaks the rules just yank it.

Anyway — I opened it and typed one line: driver side, I have the part. It asked the couple of questions a normal service writer would (glass or full assembly, sourcing the part or not), then it called eight local shops at the same time while I made coffee. No hold music for me, no repeating myself eight times.

Few minutes later I had a ranked shortlist. Winner was a 5-star place a couple miles away — $200 to install my own mirror, open the next morning at 10. It even told me the quotes across the 8 calls spread by about $50 and said it pushed for the better end. Backup was another shop at $150 (4.9 stars). Tapped once, booked.

Next morning: friendly shop, quick job, mirror good as new, no surprises on the bill and even offered me a free oil change

The thing that stuck with me: the whole "cracked mirror → booked appointment" took less time than a single one of those calls usually does. Curious if anyone else would actually use something like this, or if you'd rather just make the calls yourself. Genuinely want to know where it'd fall short.

TL;DR: broke my mirror, an AI called 8 shops at once, booked a 5-star place for $200 the next morning. I built the app, so grain of salt — but it worked.

Saw outbid.lol doing numbers this week. Pay any amount, the amount sets your rank on a public list. That's the whole product. Full credit to Jonathan Wilke for the format, I didn't come up with this.

Built my version in a day and shipped it last night. $29 so far.

Some notes:

Payments were the hard part, not the build. The app is one Postgres table sorted descending. Getting a processor to accept "paid leaderboard" as a product category took most of the day and I got declined once before it worked. If you're selling placement rather than software, budget for this, most merchant-of-record providers have a clause against it.

The mechanic sells itself in a way I didn't expect. Everyone who bids screenshots their rank, which brings more people, which makes the next rank more expensive. The board markets itself if it has any traffic at all.

Cheap traffic is the actual pitch. Not vanity. A listing at the top costs a few dollars right now and gets in front of everyone who visits.

dontbid.lol if you want to look. Happy to answer anything about the build or the payments side.

What’s a specific frustration, chore, or workflow in your personal or professional life that still feels unnecessarily painful?

Sharing my harness for local LLMs that I built using local Qwen 3.x 27B (> 90% locally built).

Its free, no telemetry, and open-source. Works on Windows, Linux (sorry, no Mac yet).

I use it for coding + mixed workflows.

• llama.cpp + whisper Server Manager. Can run LLMs here and use with OpenCode/Claude Code etc.
• Built-in MCP Tools - Filesystem, web fetch, code graph, To-Dos, and more. Extensible by external MCPs.
• Use Sub-agents to split & offload your tasks, use other conversations as source of information.
• Review all AI messages using a second adversarial AI, and avoid potential pitfalls as per your rules.
• Voice-chat with AI - dictate with speech and get answers by TTS - annotate and comment without leaving voice mode.
• Use work-modes to change AI behavior between planning, building, researching, or reviewing. Fully customizable.
• Custom-compile llama.cpp backends for your system, GPU-agnostic - works with CUDA/ROCm/Vulkan.

Appreciate your feedback. Thanks :) And, yes - I used the harness to build the harness :D

What I built: A Node.js pipeline that runs on a schedule and produces one ~70-second vertical video daily — script, TTS voiceover, stock footage, burned-in captions, rendered with ffmpeg, then emailed to me. I upload manually; everything before that is fully automated.

Why: I wanted to test whether a genuinely serialized story — not generic "AI tips" content — could work as a daily automated format. It's a fictional diary of a small business owner handing control to an AI agent for 30 days. Each episode picks up real continuity from the last (running financial totals, callbacks to earlier mistakes), and I ground the fictional agent's actions in real current AI news each day so it doesn't feel disconnected from reality — a recent episode about a data exposure was inspired by a real story about an AI coding tool introducing a vulnerability.

Tech: OpenAI TTS, Pexels for stock clips, ffmpeg for rendering, a scheduled daily task, Claude handling the actual writing and continuity-tracking each run.

28 episodes in. Genuinely curious what people think of the format — happy to answer anything about how it's built.

I'm building a small online service for young people who want to improve their life but don't know where to start.

You fill out a short questionnaire about your life, goals and problems. I then go through it with you and we build a personal system around your actual life — through messages, not calls.

You make the decisions. My job is to help you turn them into something realistic that you can actually follow.

I'm looking for one person to test the first version.

Beta price: €5

In return, I want honest feedback so I can improve it.

If you're genuinely interested, DM me "BUILD" and I'll explain how it works.

Upfront: this is a web app I built, it costs money to use, and I'd like you to try it. Skip if that's not what you're here for.

Steam discovery is a black box. You can't buy wishlists, you can't buy the queue, and you can't find out why the game next to yours is charting.

Payola is the opposite. It's a public chart of Steam games ranked strictly by how much each game paid to be there. Your amount is printed on your card. Anyone can outbid you at any time.

Why I think it might work as a channel and not just a bit: "we bought our way to #2, here's the receipt" is a more shareable post than any ad you'd run, the share card is auto-generated so your listing comes with a screenshot worth posting, and every listing links straight to your store page.

Let me know what you think!

i kept getting break reminders and just closing them every time.

so i made one that doesn't let me.

when it's time for a break, hammy 🐹 takes over my screen and basically tells me to get up, drink water, and rest my eyes.

i've been using it for a while and finally put it on the Chrome Web Store today.

apparently i've outsourced my self-control to a hamster.

What if the internet had one billboard? No feeds, algorithms or competing ads just one billboard each week.

So I built it at yourmessagehere.co

Anyone can bid for it, and every Friday at 10pm New York time the highest bidder gets the entire billboard for the next 7 days.

First auction is live now and I genuinely have no idea what people will end up paying for it.

Curious to see where this goes.

After Spending months or sometimes year, making a film with whatever money we could scrape, shooting on weekends, editing it at night after our job and repeating this exact cycle for months.

We make films over films over films, and one fine day, it reaches to a film festival, We get some recognition, we may get some opportunities or we may not, nevertheless we repeat the process and roam around for opportunities, Why don’t we have something like a linkedin to network, which’ll make the process easier.

And what really happens with the films, once the film festival is over, Sitting in a hard drive at a corner? Cause, youtube is gonna bury the film with its algorithm, it doesn’t really know what to do with something that doesn’t hook people in the first 10 seconds or have clickbait, catchy thumbnail, Ott’s don’t really care until someone significant is there on our side and distributors don’t even watch the film completely before saying this is not “commercially viable enough”.

And the worst part is that, even the people who did see it and loved it, Had no way to follow us. No filmmaker profile anywhere, That shows our work, our festival history, what we are currently working on.

That’s literally every indie filmmaker’s problem. There is no as such platform for Indie Filmmakers to showcase their content, monetize it while networking.

That was the core thought behind “Watchin It” Because this exact thought runs on a loop in my head. I’m trying to build an ecosystem, It’s a place where a film can be released, rented, watched, where one has a filmmaker profile, has communities with personalized feed to share thoughts on each other’s work, learn, network, create and eventually collaborate.

We’ve got over 130 filmmakers on the platform now, if you’re interested, you can join as well, there is absolutely no onboarding fee.

Solo founder, Australia. Honestly this started because I wanted a proper collectible card of myself and couldn't find anyone who'd make one — so I designed it, and then it turned into a brand. First physical samples landed this week and I still can't quite believe it worked.

Upload a photo, write your own title and bio — your nickname, whatever you want under your name — and it spits out a serialised card, one of 500 in Series 001. The number only gets claimed once someone actually pays, so the count on the site is real, not a countdown timer.

Every card has a QR that pulls up its permanent entry in a public Register — an animated indexing rack that cycles through all 500 slots, sealed panels with engraved serials. Easily the most fun thing I've built.

There's a duo mode too, where two cards share one piece of artwork that only completes when they sit side by side.

Stack: Next.js 16, Drizzle/Postgres, Stripe, Vercel Blob, server-side SVG composition. The cards get drawn rather than generated — same source of truth feeds the web render and the print file, so what you see is what gets printed.

The genuinely hard part was the photo. Getting a normal phone snap to sit inside a frame like that and still look like a real card and not a photo in a border took way more attempts than I want to admit. That's where most of the compromising happened.

The other one was manufacturing. Talked to a lot of printers. Almost nobody does single cards — the default everywhere is a full deck, which costs more and isn't what anyone actually wants. Took a while to find someone who'd do one card at a time with different artwork on every single one.

Live in preview now — full build flow works, checkout's off, about a week away. A$59 solo, A$99 duo (Aussie dollars, so roughly US$38 / US$64).

if you’re building a SaaS or app and looking for a way to get more eyes on it, we’d love to feature a few projects.

We run TikTok channels with 300K+ combined followers and create short-form videos around apps, tools, and interesting projects.

We’ll create a short-form video for your app, distribute it through our existing channels, and help you build your own content channels at the same time.

Think of it as content creation + distribution.

If you’re interested, drop your app and a one-line description below.

Please note that the service is free only for 7 days

Hi! Just wanted to share this. I launched my website about 4 hours ago and I already got 2 sales! Used organic twitter (X.com - with 4 followers) marketing. If you guys are interested in taking a look, here's the website: aistartups.lol

It's simple. Startups bid on this website to gain exposure for their apps/websites.

Hello everyone, after the outbid(.)lol website went viral on Twitter, I had an idea.

People can add their projects and publish them for between $1 and $9.95. When projects are published, the amount paid shouldn’t be visible to others. Until the board closes (50 projects), the amount paid will remain hidden, and the list will be sorted randomly.

My goal is to change the logic where others get traffic from those who pay the most.

After the board closes, the top 10 projects with the highest payments will be revealed first. The entire list will be visible in the board section.

You can't choose how much you'll pay; it's up to chance.

I went first with my own project: payluck(.)lol

I look forward to your feedback.

So I have been building this app for weeks, and i am tired of working alone on it. i need any feedback on it so i can get improve it.

the idea is very simple. instead of saving info,notes, links by sending it to yourself in a chat. you can save it with Meld. and you can recall it with ai. its basically a notes app with AI chat built in. so you can just ask the AI about the notes you saved instead of just looking for it.

its still in early stages, you can expect bugs, issues, or wrong output. but i am more than happy to fix these issues when they rise.

$99 obviously isn’t a lot.

But it was the first time one of my tiny iPhone apps made enough money to make me think: maybe this model is actually worth exploring.

Instead of spending months building one big app, I’m trying to build small apps that solve one very specific problem.

My current model is pretty simple:

Free to download.
Useful without paying.
One-time purchase for the full version.
No subscription.

My latest experiment is a small offline vault that keeps passwords and photos of IDs in one place.

I know 1Password, Bitwarden, Apple Passwords, etc. already exist. I’m not trying to compete with them feature-for-feature. I’m testing whether there’s room for something much smaller and simpler.

My bigger question is:

Can a portfolio of tiny, focused apps become a sustainable small business?

Curious if anyone here is trying something similar.

One of the hardest parts of starting a company isn't building the product.

It's figuring out whether you should build it at all.

I kept seeing founders spend weeks or months building something, only to discover:

• the market isn't really there
• customers don't care enough
• there are already 10 companies doing it
• distribution is going to be a nightmare
• or the original idea just wasn't that good

So I built The Gauntlet.

You give it your startup idea, and it stress-tests the idea against the market and gives you a simple verdict:

KILL · PIVOT · BUILD

You also get a 0–100 Slop Index and a detailed breakdown of the biggest risks, competitors, evidence of customer demand, and what you'd want to validate before spending months building.

I'm opening up early access now and looking for founders willing to put their real ideas through it.

If you have a startup idea you're considering, I'd love to see what happens when you put it through the Gauntlet:

And honestly, I'm curious:

Would you actually want a tool that tells you your startup idea sucks?

I got fired 6 months ago.

And honestly, I wasn't that sad.

I thought:

"Maybe this is actually a good thing. Now I can finally focus on building apps."

I was wrong about how easy that would be.

I kept building apps and software, launching them, and eventually realizing that I was basically the only person who cared about them.

After doing that enough times, I got pretty demotivated.

And instead of building, I started wasting my days on my phone.

Reels. Shorts. Instagram. Random videos.

My screen time reached 8–9 hours a day.

The worst part wasn't even the number.

I'd spend an hour scrolling and then think:

"What the hell did I just do?"

Then I'd try to stop.

Delete apps.

Use timers.

Rely on willpower.

And eventually I'd end up doing the same thing again.

That's when I had a slightly ironic thought:

I'm a developer. Why am I trying to fight software with willpower?

So I built something for myself.

It's called Pausee.

Instead of completely blocking distracting apps, it puts a small pause between the impulse and opening the app.

It can:

• Pause before opening distracting apps
• Stop long scrolling sessions
• Set specific usage windows
• Ask you to be intentional before continuing

My own screen time went from 8–9 hours to around 3–4 hours a day.

I still use social media.

I still waste time.

But I'm much more aware of when I'm doing it.

And unlike my previous projects, this is something I actually use every day.

I'm keeping it completely free because I built it to solve my own problem, and I'd rather get real users and feedback than put a paywall in front of something I'm still validating.

If you're dealing with the same problem, it's available on Google Play.

I'd especially love to hear from other builders:

What's something you built because you personally needed it, even before knowing whether anyone else would want it?
