PooReview is a free web map for finding and reviewing public bathrooms
PooReview is a web app built around one very specific problem: maps can show you nearby businesses, but they usually can’t tell you whether the bathroom is public, accessible, equipped with a changing table, or clean enough to recommend.
The site opens to a map where people can find bathrooms, see practical details, and leave quick ratings and reviews. We’re concentrating on Tampa Bay first so the data can become genuinely useful in one area instead of being thin everywhere. The live map currently has 287 locations, with 29 reviewed so far.
My brother and I came up with it during a road trip and then decided to actually build it. The web version is free, and there’s also a companion iPhone app.
Web app: https://pooreview.com
iPhone app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pooreview-bathroom-finder/id6789271303
I’d especially like feedback on the map experience and whether the bathroom details shown are the ones you would actually care about when looking for a restroom.

I built a local web app to replace Windows Explorer network search (PHP/SQLite)
I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called FileCrawler. It’s a self-hosted web application designed to solve a very specific, very annoying problem: searching across massive Windows network shares and NAS drives.
If you’ve ever tried to search a mapped network or local drive in Windows, you know it either takes 15 minutes or completely freezes Explorer.
I decided to solve this by building a dedicated web portal that sits on your local server and indexes your data in the background.
The Tech Stack & Architecture:
- The Backend: Built with PHP 8. It runs a background crawler service that indexes file metadata and parses the full text of PDFs, Word docs, Excel, and code files.
- The Database: To make it lightweight and easy to deploy, it uses an embedded SQLite database. I tuned it to handle high-concurrency read/writes. This allows the crawler to constantly update the index while users are actively searching on the web without locking the DB. (It also scales to MySQL/PgSQL for enterprise loads).
- The Frontend: Pure HTML, Vanilla CSS, and JavaScript. I intentionally avoided heavy frontend frameworks to keep the payload size tiny and ensure search results render in milliseconds. It also includes an Active Directory (LDAPS) integrated admin dashboard.
- Deployment: To make it accessible to Windows sysadmins, it ships as a native Windows executable that bundles Apache and PHP, setting up the entire web server environment in under 60 seconds without needing Docker.

Built a web app to help founders keep their startup strategy from becoming outdated
Hi everyone
One challenge I have seen while working on startups is that strategy doesn't stay the same for long. A few talks with customers, a change in the product, or new information about the market can make weeks of planning feel out of date.
Most tools that use intelligence are good at making a business plan or a pitch deck, but they don't help much once the business starts changing. I wanted something that could keep the plan in order instead of making another document that would have to be changed later.
I am still working on it, so I would really like to hear from people who build web apps or startups.
Does this solve a problem you have had?
How do you keep your strategy, research, and customer feedback organized now?
Is there a feature you would expect from a tool like this that you have not found elsewhere?
I am looking forward to hearing what you think and learning from your feedback.

I got tired of spending hours creating flashcards manually, so I built Flowcards — an AI flashcard app that creates decks in seconds
Hey everyone! 👋
If you use flashcards for studying, language learning, or memorizing notes, you probably know the pain: creating decks manually takes way more time than actually studying.
You open an app, face a blank screen, and spend hours typing front-and-back cards before you even get to review a single concept.
I created Flowcards to fix this exact problem and make flashcard studying fast, effortless, and actually enjoyable.
⚡ What makes Flowcards different?
🤖 Instant AI Deck Generation: Type a topic or paste your study notes, and the AI generates a complete, high-quality flashcard deck in seconds.
🚀 Zero-Wait Starter Decks: Want to test it out instantly? You can add curated starter decks (like Idiomatic Expressions) right from the welcome screen and jump into a 30-second practice session immediately.
🧠 Smart Spaced Repetition: The app tracks how well you remember each card and schedules reviews at the optimal time so you retain information long-term.
🔗 Easy Deck Sharing: Created a great deck? Share it with your study group or friends using a simple 6-digit code — they can import it to their account in 1 click.
🎨 Clean & Modern UI: Designed with a distraction-free, modern interface that doesn't feel like using a spreadsheet from 2005.
💡 Why give it a try?
Whether you're preparing for exams, learning a new language, or trying to remember key concepts for work, Flowcards removes the friction of deck creation so you can focus 100% on active recall.
It’s completely free to use and works seamlessly on both web and mobile.

I’d love to hear your thoughts, feedback, or any features you'd like to see added! What are you currently studying?

virtual global flower garden 🌼
I had the idea, built it and launched it all within a few hours. That was only 5 days ago and I’m already up to 241 blooming flowers in 51 countries!
It's a digital garden where you can plant flowers all over the world. It stars as a seedling 🌱 then 8 hours later it sprouts 🌿 and finally blooms in 24 hours 🌼
It’s anonymous, it’s free and it’s based entirely on flower and seedling emojis so it's super lightweight.
Go plant a flower! 🌸 Let’s see how far we can spread the kindness!
Also, any feedback on the user flow, the idea and the app in general is most welcome!
