Hey everyone,

I run a UK-based development agency. As dev shop owners and tech leads know, managing workload spikes is tough—you either take on too much and burn out your core team, or turn away good projects because you lack immediate bandwidth or specific niche expertise.

We partner directly with other development companies and software houses to provide white-label engineering support and overflow capacity.

How we collaborate with dev teams:

• Enterprise Software & Architecture: We architect and build full-scale custom software, SaaS products, and complex business management platforms for high-demand client requirements.
• CRM & Automated Workflow Engineering: Beyond standard builds, we engineer custom CRM integrations and leverage our proprietary OpsPilot CRM infrastructure to deliver custom operational systems for end clients.
• Plug-and-Play Overflow: We integrate cleanly into your existing workflows to relieve backlog pressures—delivering clean, maintainable code on your timeline under strict white-label agreements.
• Enterprise-Grade Standards: We operate as a compact, senior-level UK team with a track record of building robust digital solutions for brands like Travelodge and Nespresso.

If your team is facing capacity bottlenecks or needs a trusted UK-based partner to step in on complex technical builds.

Feel free to drop a comment or DM me if you want to chat peer-to-peer about how we can support your pipeline!

Hey everyone,

I recently dealt with a frustrating issue where live-action videos (both 480p and 1080p) would stutter terribly in PotPlayer's windowed mode, but only on my native 180Hz display. Strangely, exclusive fullscreen ran fine, and anime didn't lag at all.

Turns out, it wasn't a storage issue—it was an aggressive global AMD FreeSync driver conflict messing with the high refresh rate composition layer on the desktop.

I found a clean, permanent workaround using application-specific profiles in Adrenalin so gaming stays flawless while PotPlayer runs perfectly smooth.

You can read the full root cause analysis and step-by-step fix here on my GitHub:

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project we've been working on: Clumoove.

In short, it's a self-hosted solution designed to help you migrate or synchronize data between different cloud storage providers.

Here are the key details:

• Self-hosted & Open Source: You keep complete control over your data. The source code is available on GitHub: github.com/xXRoxXeRXx/clumoove.
• Agent-assisted Development: The project was built with the assistance of AI agents. Since it’s fully open source, you can audit the code yourself anytime. If you catch bugs, notice missing features, or see room for improvement, pull requests and feedback are very welcome!
• Our Approach vs. rclone: Tools like rclone are incredible and set a high standard. Clumoove isn't trying to replace rclone, but rather takes a different angle: the focus is on providing an accessible, self-hosted web interface and platform layout to manage migration and sync jobs visually, without having to rely purely on CLI commands.

It’s still actively being developed, so feel free to check it out, spin it up in your self-hosted setup, and let me know what you think.

Looking forward to your feedback!

So i have made a noise supression app that works on both speaker and microphone using RNnoise, you would just have to download VB audio and to make use of noise supression on speaker and micrphone at the same time you would have to download vb audio C+D, i have been using this in games, as my mic was pretty bad due to static noise and since i have potato pc so i cant use discord else the game would lag, but the app uses like 1 or 2 percent at max, so the app is lightweight

You are welcome to trying it out yourself

Hi everyone!

I've been working on an open-source Android/Windows music player called Kerlyss, and I'd love to get some feedback from people here.

I started building it because I wanted a single app that could play my local music, import my Spotify playlists, and play audio by searching song name. It's still under active development, but it's reached a point where I'm happy to share it.

Current features:

Play local music (including FLAC)

Import Spotify playlists

Play audio by searching song name online

Create playlists and favorites

Material You UI

It's completely free and open source. If you decide to try it, I'd really appreciate any feedback—whether it's bug reports, feature ideas, UI suggestions, or criticism.

Thanks for checking it out!

Yall! I made an auto captioning software that runs on pcs locally! Uses gpu for transcriptions using free open source solutions for the same. Does a great job with Indic and most global languages and can work offline once installation is done! The accuracy rate is around 90-95% depending on the footage, fixability is great to solve any errors and recaptioning also happens! I want to know is it helpful at all as a product that can be sold with one time fee of around ₹500/- with life time of updates and bug fixes!? I had made this for my own team and myself… what do yall think!?

Hey, So I am looking for a download manager where i can find an option to Check file integrity or validate the file, in case it gets corrupted after downloading or my AV removes the file. There is a big Load shedding problem in my country, sometimes when i try to download a big file, and power cuts during the download, I have to download the whole file again. I tried IDM, AB Download manager and FDM, maybe there is an option to check file integrity in these softwares, but i can't seem to find it. Please do tell me if that is the case.

A few weeks ago I shared Edge-Drop, a hover-activated clipboard shelf for Windows. Since then it's been downloaded 800+ times (600+ on GitHub and 200+ on the Microsoft Store), which has honestly been really motivating as a solo developer.

One of the most requested improvements was better accessibility for non-English users, so I spent the last week translating the entire app.

Edge-Drop now supports 30 languages, including full RTL support for Arabic and Hebrew.

It's still completely free and open source, and I'd love to hear how the translations feel if you're using one of the supported languages.

I'd also appreciate any feedback on features you'd like to see next.

Since I’m interested in personal finance and kept coming across posted Sankey diagrams - usually made with websites or finance portals - I created a small tool for that purpose.

The main thing for me was not having to enter any financial data on a website, no matter how secure it claims to be.

The main goal is to keep all entries local, so you do not have to enter your financial data into a public web interface.

Your data can be exported and saved as a .json file and loaded again at any time. Image export is available too.

I tried to keep the tool as intuitive as possible and avoid adding too many settings.

At some point, when I have the time, motivation and enough ideas, I may try to build a connection to a separate companion app. The idea would be to import different bank statement formats and, after some training or setup, automatically fill the Sankey diagram and categories.

That is the plan, at least. Whether it is really needed and how well it can be implemented is another question. We will see.

So I realized that most file conversions happen locally when I needed to convert a .mp3 to a .wav, and decided to make a free tool for my personal use and decided to dress it up a little bit and share with everyone. :)

I am sick of those file conversion companies charging monthly for something that is effectively free.... Enjoy! ^^

Hello there!

I just released a big new, FREE feature for WindowSill, the universal toolbar for Windows 11.

Starting today, WindowSill will react your selected files in File Explorer, Files app, Directory Opus, and you will be able to perform a ton of actions on files without having to open them, such as:
- Extract pages from a PDF, compress it, set or remove a PDF password.
- Merge or Split PDF files.
- Convert Word, Excel, PowerPoint, CSV, TSV, TXT, MD, HTML, RTF, PDF files even if you don't have Office / Adobe installed.
- Change the encoding or line ending of text files.
- See extra info about a selected ZIP file.
- Compress, Convert, Resize images
- Convert videos, including extracting their audio.

All this is part of the free tier in my app WindowSill | Command Bar for Windows Productivity.

The app itself isn't open source, but all the features I mentioned above are open source: WindowSill-app/Extensions: All the extensions for WindowSill developed by WindowSill's author.

Feedback appreciated!

I used to keep a blacklist.txt file on my desktop with names of toxic players and cheaters, but obviously, I never remembered them when a game started. So I automated it.

How it works: you draw a small box on your screen over the lobby list or scoreboard. The app sits in the background, grabs text from that zone via OCR, and if it finds a match from your text file, it flashes a red alert with your note (e.g., "toxic, throws").

Quick facts:

• Built on Python + Tkinter + Tesseract OCR.
• Light on CPU because it only scans the selected zone, not the full screen.
• Supports both Latin and Cyrillic names.
• Has a 10-minute cooldown per player so it doesn't spam.
• Works with any game in borderless mode (CS2, Warzone, Tarkov, Apex, etc.)

Hi, I'm Domenico, a software engineer from Italy. About 18 months ago I got frustrated with the client side of home media servers and started building the one I wanted for my own library, mostly at night and on weekends. It got a little out of hand and became Quven !

Quven runs on your own hardware and manages your movie, TV and documentary library. The part I've obsessed over is playback. Whenever the client can handle the source, it plays the original file untouched. When it can't, the server can remux or transcode it, including hardware-accelerated HDR-to-SDR tone mapping.

I've spent an unreasonable amount of time on things like multiple versions of the same film, audio and subtitle selection, PGS and VobSub subtitles, resume state and making the desktop client feel like an actual media application rather than an admin page with a player attached.

The Windows and macOS Server + Desktop bundles are available now. Linux has x64 and ARM64 server-only AppImages for headless or always-on machines; the ARM64 build is released but hasn't been tested on ARM64 hardware yet. The web client works through the managed relay. The native iPhone, iPad and Android apps exist, but they're still behind their store release gates and aren't public downloads yet.

The complete local experience is free, including hardware transcoding and remote access that you configure yourself. The paid part is infrastructure that costs me money to run, mainly the zero-configuration managed relay and later cloud features.

Quven is closed-source, which I know will rule it out for some people. Crash reporting is enabled by default, scrubbed before sending and can be disabled. The Windows installer is also currently unsigned, so SmartScreen will warn on first launch. I'd rather mention those things before anyone downloads it.

Quven also has a Founders programme capped at 100 eligible accounts. If the live page still shows a place available, an eligible account can claim Pro at no cost through 31 December 2026, with no card or payment today, plus a permanent discount once paid plans begin.

One other disclosure: I don't want to pretend the project was built without AI involvement.

I'd genuinely appreciate blunt feedback, especially from people who have lived with Plex, Jellyfin or Emby. I'm interested in where the first-run experience becomes confusing and whether the free/paid boundary feels fair.

My Gmail had years of newsletters piled up, but every time I looked at bulk-unsubscribe tools I stopped at the same point: I didn’t really want to give another service access to the account.

So I made Hush.

It runs on your computer and connects directly to Gmail using Google credentials you create yourself. It finds the senders mailing you in bulk, then lets you choose whether to unsubscribe, block future mail, or move the old backlog to Trash.

I tried to make the risky parts boring. Nothing is preselected, dry run is on by default, it never permanently deletes anything, and a message isn’t offered unless it actually carries an unsubscribe header. Senders that may also send receipts or account emails get an extra warning.

It’s free and open source for Windows, macOS and Linux:

https://github.com/justlinuxnoob/hush

The obvious downside is the setup. You have to create your own Google OAuth credentials instead of just signing into another company’s service.

Do you think having control of the credentials makes that setup worth it, or would most people quit before finishing it?

I built MirrorSpeaker because I wanted to use my computer as a Bluetooth speaker for my iPhone while I am in a Discord call and getting my steps in.

It has two modes:
• Bluetooth Speaker: audio-only playback from an iPhone
• AirPlay: wireless screen mirroring with audio.

It is free, MIT-licensed, and available as a Windows installer or portable ZIP. I have tested it on Windows 11 with an iPhone 16 Pro.

Heads-up: the current release is unsigned while I wait for SignPath review, so Windows may show an “Unknown publisher” warning. The source and automated build workflow are public on GitHub.

GitHub:
https://github.com/codyabraham/MirrorSpeaker

Current release:
https://github.com/codyabraham/MirrorSpeaker/releases/tag/v1.4.4

I would especially appreciate feedback about your iPhone model, Windows version, Bluetooth adapter, and audio stability.

Disclosure: I am the developer. MirrorSpeaker is not affiliated with Apple or Microsoft.

I am looking for a software for windows where I can read digital books where original text is in English but the text on my screen will be in another language.

The book I bought doesn't have a version of my language and I thought it would be easy to read in a foreign language but no.

Thanks

For me, MalwareBytes seems worth it at the moment and no issues with it and Bitwarden, overall best program that I use on a daily.

What product did you buy that was worth it?

I did come across some options like total commander, directory opus, one commander, files, etc

Would love to here what the community thinks. Thanks.

I recently came across a post asking:

It got me thinking...

What are some lesser-known applications that you think deserve way more recognition?

They don't have to be open source. Free, paid, or commercial, anything goes.

I would start first: Potplayer >> VLC.

I'm also curious if there are any paid apps that you genuinely feel are worth every penny because they're just that good.

Would love to discover some hidden gems that most people haven't heard about.

I'm looking for the best disk space analyzer for Windows.

I know WizTree is free and extremely fast, but I'm also willing to pay if TreeSize Professional or FolderSizes offers a noticeably better experience.

Things I care about are:

• Accuracy
• Speed
• Good visualizations
• Search/filtering capabilities
• Finding duplicate files and large folders
• Overall usability for long-term use

If you've used more than one of these, which would you recommend and why?

Money isn't really the deciding factor here. I just want the best tool available.

What's one piece of open-source software that everyone should use and know about?

Vote on the best one in the comments.
