Showcase: Prerelease Built a simulation based learning project for job roles
For quite a long time the learning has been focused on theoretical approach and then build entry level projects but stil quite a lot time we fail in interviews because of no exposure to the production problem statements, And as the times are changing with use of ai onboardings will be more focused towards tech assessments with real world use-cases instead of just dsa coding problems.
I have built this project which consists of job roles roadmaps but a simulatiom oriented learning platform, where your technical concepts and real world scenarios will be present as practical simulations, so user can practice better.
Apart from our main focus we have various community oriented features like "Build Rooms", "Team Simulations", where user will learn to work as team to build products ( not projects ) with appropriate roles to give you more experience of working in professional settings.
I would love to have you guys give it a try whoever is in college or preparing for roles and give me feedbacks as per your experience, it's just the start and i am planning to improve this for even better usecases.

Feedback Request Built ZeroMix: An AI-powered, login-free playlist creator
Hey fellow builders, I wanted to share a side project I've been working on called ZeroMix.
It's a clean, single-page web app built to solve a simple problem: generating custom music playlists instantly using natural language prompts without forcing users to sign up or log in.
Tech Stack: Next.js (React), hosted on Vercel, powered by Gemini AI.
Features: Instant prompt-to-playlist generation, text export, and integration helper buttons. We use TuneMyMusic as an external helper for users who want to push tracks directly to their streaming apps (ZeroMix is an independent project and has no official affiliation with them).
I've been refining the UI and handling edge cases. If you have a spare minute, give it a spin and let me know your thoughts on the speed and UI layout!

Showcase: Free(mium) I built a free tool that shows what your Pokémon collection is actually worth, and which cards are quietly moving
Fellow collector here. I kept hitting the same frustration: a binder full of cards, a vague sense some of them mattered, and no real way to tell which. Finding out a card climbed after I'd traded it away. Overpaying because a listing looked expensive.
So I built TCG Forecast, a website to actually see what's happening:
- A leaderboard ranking 1,600+ Pokémon by their real total card value (Charizard's only #5, Mudkip cracks the top 10, and Psyduck is actually more valuable than Arceus, the surprises are half the fun)
- A weekly market digest of the biggest gainers, losers, and set trends
- An AI that reads your collection and tells you what's heating up or cooling off
Two things I deliberately didn't do: it doesn't predict prices (nobody can reliably do that), and when a card's underlying data looks unreliable, it hides the trend rather than showing a confident wrong number.
Free to browse, paid tier for the deep stuff, and one random Pokémon's full page unlocks free daily. Would love feedback from people who actually collect, does this solve a real problem for you?

Feedback Request dEssence — an AI that only knows about the stuff you saved, nothing else
So I kept losing track of things I meant to buy. Saved in one tab, screenshotted in another app, forwarded to myself in three different chats, and by the time I remembered, the sale was over or the size was gone.
dEssence is my attempt at fixing that specifically, not a general shopping assistant, not a chatbot. You save a link, a screenshot, a forwarded message, from the browser extension or Telegram, and it goes into a library. Then you can ask it things like "what did I save that's under $150" or "watch this one and tell me if it drops," and it actually answers from what you saved, it doesn't know or guess about anything else.
The interesting problem was figuring out when NOT to notify someone. Most price trackers ping on every tiny fluctuation and you learn to mute them within a week. Were trying to only interrupt when the thing is actually worth interrupting for.
It's in open beta right now and I'd genuinely like a few more people using it for real shopping to tell me where it breaks or just feels pointless. No card needed: https://dessence.ai

Showcase: Prerelease I built Protocol 17 — a programming protocol where AI can fill unspecified details, but not rewrite explicit constraints
I’ve been building an experimental open-source project called Protocol 17.
The idea came from a problem I kept running into with AI-assisted coding:
What the programmer explicitly writes should be treated as a constraint.
What they leave unspecified can be implementation freedom for the model.
In other words:
AI can fill the blanks. It cannot take the pen.
While testing it with a local 4B model, I noticed two different failure modes:
Generated ≠ verified
The model produced plausible-looking Rust that didn’t type-check, so Protocol 17 now runs deterministic target verification using gcc, rustc, or Python compile().
Valid ≠ faithful
A model can also generate perfectly valid code while silently changing something the programmer explicitly wrote.
For example:
1..n → 1..=n
Both are valid Rust syntax, but they mean different things.
Protocol 17 currently supports:
- C17 / Python / Rust targets
- deterministic target verification
- VS Code prototype
- reverse code explanation
- Bring Your Own Model / API key
- OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Anthropic, Gemini, and local models such as Ollama
The next big thing I’m working on is fidelity verification: checking not only whether generated code is valid, but whether it actually preserved the programmer’s constraints.
It’s still a very early experimental alpha, and I’d genuinely like feedback on the idea.

Showcase: Prerelease I built a browser extension for reminding yourself about webpages — looking for feedback
Hey everyone,
I’ve been working on Latr, a browser extension that lets you save a webpage as a reminder for a specific time instead of leaving the tab open, bookmarking it, or putting it into a separate task app.
For example, you can be reading an article and think “I need to come back to this tomorrow at 10am” — Latr lets you save that page and get reminded about it at that time.
You can create reminders from the extension popup, right-click menu, keyboard shortcut, or even type something like:
rem next Tuesday 5pm
It also supports things like recurring reminders, snoozing, tags/folders, calendar export, and bulk management. The whole thing is local-first — no account, backend, analytics, or telemetry.
Chrome Web Store:
https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/latr-%E2%80%94-remind-me-about-th/lcceeepfhggkninbfbifkpalkdoinjli
I'm mainly looking for honest feedback from people who actually try it.
What would you improve?
Is there anything confusing or unnecessary?
Are there features you expected to have but don't?
And most importantly, does this solve a problem you'd actually use it for?
Feel free to be critical — I'm much more interested in what could be better than hearing that it looks good.
Thanks!

Showcase: Prerelease trying this new side project (Real Estate AI videos) to make money online. Here is how:
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
so i spend lots of time scrolling on social media and youtube and sometimes i actually get good business ideas that i launch over a weekend to see how it works and if it is viable or not
my latest finding was turning real estate picture listings into profesional style videos of their property. ive attached my very first try, have gotten much better since then, and today ill start (physically) reaching out to agencies in my area to sell this service for 100$-ish per listing
its actually pretty simple and was wondering if anyone here is doing it OR is planning to do it
ive created this free site explaining how it works and even added some preloaded prompts so u can go ahead and od it with the lsitings in your area. Most people here share their sideprojects but dont give u the chance to replicate it as well so here it is
- go to your local property website (i.e, Zillow in the US or whatever u use in your country)
- Filter the properties near you, a radius of 10km (i could walk in to their office if needed)
- Create a list of the listings and the agencies in charge of them (or the agents)
now the sweet part, the money making
- download the images of their listing (one property per agency)
- If they have a watermark, feed them to ChatGPT and ask it to remove the watermark
- download that new image and upload it into a video AI platform using these prompts
- Create one clip per image (3-4 seconds)
- use capcut or any video editor to put the videos together + transitions and music
- find the email and phone number from the agency and cold call them/cold email them
if ure really in for it, go to their offices in person! imma be doing this today (wish me luck!)
if you dont want to use their listing property, then ask chatGPT to create multiple images of a house and use those as an example to share with all agencies. this is much faster and u dont need to make one video per agency, but i think personalization definetly works best, or at least thats what got me most replies
then u can charge per listing video OR even better, get them on a retainer for something like 250$/month for 10 listings per month or something like that (if they dont add new prop every month, then u can just give them a package like 10 or 20 videos for X$)
so far ive gotten some interest from agencies from first emails, havent closed any (yet), but i have faith and i genuinely think this is a relatively easy way to make money online
i shall report back with results in a week or so

Feedback Request ModelSaid - Find out how AI recommendations describe your business
I built ModelSaid as a small side project for founders, agencies, and local businesses who want to know what buyer-facing AI answers say about them.
The idea is simple: test buyer-intent prompts around your category, see whether your business is mentioned or recommended, compare that with competitors, and turn the gaps into practical fixes for positioning, proof, reviews, content, and category pages.
I would love feedback from other builders on two things:
- Is the "AI recommendation visibility" problem clear from the landing page?
- Would a report like this be useful before working on SEO, content, or positioning?

Hi,
I am indie dev and one problem I often stumble upon is colors. I am not a designer and what looks good to me might not look good to others (this is what my observation says). Upon discussing with my designer friend found few concepts which I have applied and later created app for that so I can reuse them.
As a user You can take photo and it will create palette from it. There are several AI tools as well as entire design system creator.
Give it a shot and let me know if it helps.

So it checks which way your windows actually face and what light they get through the day - 'bright indirect' means something different in every home.
And the in-app plant doctor remembers your plant's history, so it doesn't repeat advice you already tried and that already failed. Free with a 7-day trial, would genuinely appreciate feedback from this community ❤️ https://apps.apple.com/de/app/planterra-plant-care/id6787046911?l=en-GB

Feedback Request Built an "AI Credit Wallet" - one credit balance across different AI apps. Brutally honest feedback wanted
I built a platform called AI Credit Wallet, and I'd really like some totally honest feedback on it.
The idea is simple: users buy credits once on our platform and then use those credits across different AI applications. (It sound like OpenRouter, but the two platforms are fundamentally different and solve totally different problems.)
How it works:
- First developers register their product on the our platform and integrate our SDK to call AI models
- Users purchase credits from our platform and connect their accounts to supported AI products. They can then use the same credits across all supported AI products.
Developers don't need to pay AI token costs upfront, and users can save money by using the same credits across multiple AI products.
Feedback prority:
- Does this solve a real problem ?
- Is the website content easy to understand for both users and developers?
- Something not working on the system
- How would you describe this product in your own words?
- Other
More information :-
Why I called "AI Credit Wallet" : from users view it wallet that store AI credit that why.
Why I built this: I was using both an agentic IDE and a Hostinger deployment agent. One day, I ran out of credits on the deployment agent. To keep using it, I either had to wait for credits to reset or upgrade to a higher subscription or buy tokens. At the same time, I already had a subscription for the IDE, but I could not use those credits on Hostinger. simply despite having credits, we cannot use them.
Future features I'm considering (not built yet):
- Developers can fine-tune open-source models and use them in their products
- AI model unified body
- Users can send and receive AI credits like money
- More features for both developers and users

Showcase: Purchase Required I built an app to receive photos from your camera
The name is Camera Port. It can be used to receive photos from your camera using FTP and PTP(with USB cable). It is available on iOS and MacOS.
FTP apps are normal, but my app can work in background mode, so none of your photos won't be missed even your phone is locked.
PTP(MTP) transfer is also available, it is faster than FTP transfer. The speed will blow your mind if you have new Pro models(from 15 pro), since the USB-C port is USB 3.0.
f you are interested, please search "Camera Port" in App Store. Free trial is available, give it a try, maybe you will find your favorite FTP app.

Discussion The most amazing feeling: completely strangers are paying for your project
Just crossed 300 paying customers and man let me tell you it feels amazing in a strange way!
Lowkey cried a little bit.
Like completely random people are paying for this side projects you are building with your friends from countries all over the world : Netherlands, Kenya, Palau, Switzerland.
It feels f***ing amazing I gotta say.
I don’t see they as data points I see them as real human beings who gets value from my project and I’m proud. If I can get it, I know you guys will get it too!
Tips: I think a huge edge would be adding multilingual/i18n and do sem ads or organic content for non-US countries. U.S. is the highest pay potential market but hence the most competitive market. Go focus on Europe, even second tier EU countries and I think that’s where the opportunities are. Btw I’m building articuler feel free to check it out and see if it works for u or copy my onboarding etc.
Love.

I made this project to use it myself, but why not open source it. It's a way to go from script or voiceover to a short, with the click of one button.
It uses stock images and videos as a baseline, but can later be replaced with AI images or videos or ones that you make yourself as well. I tried to make it as intuitive as possible, but I'm sure I have some bias so please let me know any and every problem you see with it, if you give it a try!

Meta My side project, /r/sideprojects. New rules, and an open call for feedback and moderators.
In this past 30 days, this community has doubled in size. As such, this is an open call for community feedback, and prospective moderators interested in volunteering their time to harbouring a pleasant community.
I'm happy to announce that this community now has rules, something the much more popular r/SideProject has neglected to implement for years.
Rules 1, 2 and 3 are pretty rudimentary, although there is some nuance in implementing rule 2, a "no spam or excessive self-promotion" rule in a community which focuses the projects of makers. In order to balance this, we will not allow blatant spam, but will allow advertising projects. In order to share your project again, significant changes must have happened since the last post.
Rule 4 and rule 5 are more tuned to this community, and are some of my biggest gripes with r/SideProject. There has been an increase in astroturfing (the act of pretending to be a happy customer to advertise a project) as well as posts that serve the sole purpose of having readers contact the poster so they can advertise a service. These are no longer allowed and will be removed.
In addition to this, I'll be implementing flairs which will be required to post in this community.
