I'm not entirely sure if anyone will use this app, but it makes The Bible easier to understand.

2 Upvotes

I'd like to start by saying I'm not trying to push my religion onto others. The reason I made this app is because my very young niece picked up The Bible to read for the first time, and she found it way to hard to understand. I was already working on the app, but it was mostly like, you could put verses on your homescreen thru widgets or schedule praying time.

Seeing her struggle, I realised many people find this hard, so I integrated a function that lets you talk to The Bible directly. Any questions on what something means, any confusions, anything. You can even ask for advice and it answers the way The Bible would.

The app is already up and running on App Store, but it's been up for so long with barely any users. not sure if the app's the problem or my targeting, and whichever of the two it is, I would love your insights and a push to make it better. check it out here and please let me know! I would be so grateful.

Do you all repeatedly post your app in spite of 0 comments each time?

0 Upvotes

I am starting to put my work out there more, but am running into posting and getting 0 replies.

When this happens do you all just keep posting over and over while tweaking copy?

That seems like the move but it also feels risky and like you could end up banned or just being some annoyance that is spamming self-promo all over.

I built an AI CAD tool that turns one prompt into an editable 3D model with working joints

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

9 Upvotes

I have been building YoCAD, a tool that turns a text prompt or a photo into a real parametric CAD model instead of a static mesh. Working joints, live dimension sliders, animation, all from one prompt. The demo is an unofficial concept of the OpenAI x Work Louder macropad. Every keycap presses on its own slider joint, the knob spins, the joystick tilts. The generator named the keys as musical pitches, so pressing them plays actual piano notes.

The output is a program, not a blob: dimensions are draggable parameters, and you can pin any part and type a change to edit just that part. An LLM writes the model, an analytic CAD kernel verifies geometry, joints, and collisions.

  Still needs more work for manufacturing, it is a concept and a starting point today.

I built a free scanner for the EU AI Act chatbot rule that hits Aug 2 — scanned 495 big EU sites, found 0 visible AI disclosures

0 Upvotes

Two weeks ago this folder was empty. The EU AI Act's Article 50 applies from August 2 — any AI chatbot talking to EU visitors must disclose it's AI, at the first interaction. Fines up to €15M/3%.

So I built https://article50ready.com/, it detects 35+ chat/AI widgets (Intercom, Tidio, Chatbase…) and tells you if the disclosure duty applies. Free, no signup.

For the launch I scanned 495 major EU sites: only 14 expose a detectable chat widget in their HTML (big brands hide everything behind tag managers), and 0 of those 14 show any AI-disclosure text. Sixteen days before the law applies, compliance is basically invisible.

We offer one-time €29 pack (disclosure widget in all 24 EU languages + transparency age + evidence PDF). Merchant of record handles VAT.

if ai-first solo companies are supposedly the future, why does everyone still assume you need a team to be legit

1 Upvotes

Every trend piece this year says solo founders can now do what used to take a team. AI-first, no investors, no crew.

Then a potential client asks who's on my team, and the honest answer is nobody, it's just me.

Some go quiet after that. Doesn't matter how good the work is once they hear "solo."

Weird gap. The narrative says solo is the new normal. The actual buying behavior sometimes says a team still equals trust.

Not sure if that's a perception problem I need to fix or just a filter that saves me from clients who were never going to be a good fit anyway.

Anyone else running solo hit this same wall? What actually changed it for you, if anything did?

I built a premium restaurant website with React + Vite , looking for feedback and ideas

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I've been working on a side project to improve my frontend development skills and recently finished building a premium restaurant website from scratch.

It was built using React, Vite, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS, with a strong focus on modern UI, smooth animations, responsiveness, and an immersive user experience.

I'd really appreciate your honest feedback. If you have a few minutes, please explore the different pages, including the menu, gallery, story, reservations, and other sections, and let me know what you think.

I'm especially interested in feedback on:

- Overall UI/UX

- Visual design and branding

- Navigation and responsiveness

- Performance and animations

- Accessibility

- Bugs or anything that feels confusing or could be improved

I'm always looking to learn, so constructive criticism is more than welcome.

I built a budgeting app around the oldest rule in personal finance: pay yourself first. It's free forever — and here's why that's not a catch

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Every budgeting app I tried had the same shape: track everything you spend, and whatever survives to the end of the month — that's your saving. For me that number was always zero. Tracking doesn't cause saving; it just documents the failure.

So I spent the last months building Basis around the inverse. The idea is old — older than apps: pay yourself first. On payday, your savings rate comes off the top like a bill. What's left is what you budget, split across categories you define. At the end of the month nothing settles silently: you close the period yourself, and every overspent category gets an explicit decision: cover it from savings, or carry it into next month so that category starts tighter. The closing ritual is the feature. It's the difference between an app that tracks saving and an app that causes it.

Some things it deliberately doesn't have:

  • No bank connection. You log expenses in two taps, or point the camera at a receipt — the amount is read on-device and the image never leaves your phone.
  • No account, no cloud, no analytics. The App Store privacy label is "Data Not Collected". Your data exports to CSV any time; no lock-in.
  • No subscription, no ads, no IAP. Free forever.

The honest answer to "what's the catch": there's no server, so Basis costs me nothing to run. I'm 17, this is my portfolio working in public before I've ever had a real paycheck, and if the app is good, that's the payment.

English + Italian, iPhone, home-screen widgets. I'd genuinely love feedback on the month-end flow: it's the part I rewrote the most.

Vibe Coded SaaS Delusion

1 Upvotes

I’m noticing a lot of posts by people have vibe coded an “app” and are struggling to get users so they turn to Reddit. Asking for advice on how to break through to their first pool of users.
The tone is one of expectation & befuddlement … “I made a subscription based tool that does like 1 or 3 things… why aren’t people paying me like they pay Netflix every month?”
I was under the impression that subscription fatigue had settled in long ago and single use tools were not viable for wide adoption (ie: $2.99 a month for a browser extension that organizes your browser history into a summary for you.)
So my question is “What gave these aspiring entrepreneurs the idea that this model was a sure fire path to $$$$?” Are there “experts” on TikTok touting some miracle method for successful vibe coding saas, targeting young people?
I’m not trying to be mean about it, just feels like a lot of these kids (many I’ve seen are literal teenagers) have been misled about the realities of the landscape right now, and how to launch an effective product.

I've been building a free video/image ad maker solo for a few years — here it is

Upvotes

I've been building Movidmo, a free tool for creating video ads, social posts, and marketing images, mostly by myself for a few years now. You can start from a template, build from scratch, or describe what you want in plain language and let the AI Video Generator or AI Image Generator put something together — pulling stock media, mood-matched music, and animation automatically. Templates also handle wide, square, and vertical export automatically, so one design works across platforms without manual resizing.

I've built basically all of it myself — the editor, the caption/animation engine, the template system, and more recently the AI generation pipeline. I also ended up carving a couple of standalone pieces out as free tools in their own right, like a Blob Maker for procedurally generated organic shapes.

Honestly, the hardest part of this whole project hasn't been the building — I've genuinely enjoyed most of that. It's been getting it in front of people who might actually find it useful. I'm a developer first, not a marketer, so if anyone here has been through the same thing, I'd be curious how you approached it.

Construí un ecosistema de agentes autónomos como proyecto de aprendizaje — busco feedback técnico

Upvotes

Hola a todos,

Me apodan Alone. Soy nuevo en Reddit, así que todavía estoy aprendiendo cómo se manejan por aquí, pero me animé a publicar.

Soy un programador joven con varios proyectos en marcha. No busco autopromocionarme: busco gente a la que le interese mi perfil de GitHub y quiera darme sugerencias o correcciones sobre mi código. También estoy abierto a colaboraciones: si tenés una idea, puedo ayudarte a codearla.

A lo largo del tiempo construí varias herramientas:

· Un script de automatización en Python que ayuda a personas que trabajan con grandes cantidades de archivos. Lo hice porque me lo pidieron, y aunque no es nada del otro mundo, cumple su función.

· Un analizador de tráfico de red en Java. Lo pensé más para mí: es una herramienta útil cuando tenés dudas de por qué el WiFi va lento o qué está pasando en tu red.

· Un monitor de integridad de archivos en C++ que detecta cambios no autorizados en carpetas vigiladas, usando SHA-256 para verificar la integridad de cada archivo.

Pero el proyecto más grande es un ecosistema al que llamé Nexus. La idea era crear agentes automatizados que funcionen desde una terminal y se comuniquen entre sí. Hasta ahora tengo:

· Nexus Terminal: un panel de control visual con estética retro (CRT) que muestra el estado de los agentes, misiones y eventos.

· Nexus Agent Management API: el cerebro del sistema, una API REST hecha en Java con Spring Boot.

· Nexus Scraper: el primer agente funcional, que recibe misiones de scraping, las ejecuta con Playwright y reporta los resultados.

Todo está conectado: el panel muestra en tiempo real lo que hacen los agentes.

Si te enganché y llegaste hasta aquí, te dejo mi GitHub:

https://github.com/Alonex-x

Podés entrar, revisar el código, decirme qué falla, qué falta o qué mejorar. Cualquier crítica es bienvenida. Gracias por leer.

I built a tool that generates a full Etsy listing — product design, mockups, title, tags, description — in about a minute

Upvotes

I sell digital products on Etsy, and the part that always killed me wasn't making the product — it was everything after: writing a title that actually ranks, filling all 13 tags, writing a description, and making mockups that don't look like garbage. Every listing was 1–3 hours, so I'd make five and burn out.

So I built PromptlessPress. You pick a product type and describe the vibe, and it generates the actual product designs, a set of mockups, and the full listing kit (SEO title, 13 tags, description, materials) — the whole thing in about a minute. The goal was never "AI slop" — it's built around real Etsy SEO rules (multi-word tags, buyer-phrase titles, character limits) and each listing comes out unique instead of the same template with the words swapped.

Stack, quickly: Supabase (Postgres + edge functions) on the backend, a pipeline of image models for the designs/mockups, and a compositing layer so the product actually sits in a scene correctly. The mockup realism was by far the hardest part.

It's live and I've been running my own shop through it. Two things I'd genuinely love feedback on:

  1. For anyone selling anything with listings/SEO — what part of your launch process would you most want automated?

  2. For the mockups: is "fast and good enough" more valuable to you than "slow but perfect"? I keep going back and forth.

Happy to answer anything about how it's built. (Building in public.)

Rigora Table 1 Generator - A free browser-based Table 1 generator for clinical researchers

Upvotes

Disclosure. I run Rigora, the company behind this tool.

We kept seeing researchers spend hours building baseline characteristics tables and making avoidable choices around mean versus median, missing data, and p-values. So we built a free Table 1 generator for clinical datasets.

You can paste a dataset or upload an Excel or CSV file, select a grouping variable, and export the result to Word, PDF, or reproducible R code. The tool chooses mean with SD or median with IQR based on the variable distribution. It can also select an appropriate test for each variable.

All calculations run locally inside the browser. The dataset is never uploaded or stored. A verified email address is required to unlock the finished table.

https://rigora.net/en/tools/table-1-generator.html

I would especially appreciate feedback on the variable detection, statistical summaries, and exported table format.

I make software and i found making promo, tutorial or demo videos was really time consuming; screen recording, editing, redoing it all when the UI changes etc. I've currently built a pipeline that generates them from the product itself - rendering the real UI (actual components, actual deisgn tokens) so the video is pixel perfect and re renders are relatively easy. ive found this so useful, especially for those really pushing their marketing and needing new promo videos daily.

Heres a basic example i made for papermark from their open source repo as an example

I'll make free videos for 5 products from this thread. Comment your product's URL and that's it. (If your best screens are behind a login, a demo/sandbox account gets me everything I need. Just drop me a DM)

My after-work side project just crossed 10,000 downloads

Four months ago, Lockify was just something I worked on after my 9-to-6 job.

I wasn't trying to build a business.

I just wanted to answer one question:

Can a privacy app actually respect the user's privacy?

So I built an Android vault with:

  • No ads
  • No tracking
  • Local encryption
  • Offline-first design

Since then, the project has grown into something I never expected.

Recently it crossed:

  • 10,000+ downloads
  • 4,400+ active devices
  • 4.7★+ rating
  • My first paying customers after launching Premium

The biggest lesson hasn't been technical.

It's that people don't reward ambitious roadmaps.

They reward consistency.

Shipping every week.

Fixing bugs quickly.

Replying to reviews.

Listening when users ask for something you hadn't planned to build.

To celebrate the milestone, I'm giving away 100 Lifetime Premium licenses to people who share their genuine experience with Lockify on social media.

It's my way of saying thanks to the community that helped shape the app.

If you're building something after work, keep shipping.

You never know which small project will become the one that people actually start using.

I built a Korean Four Pillars reader. I'll read a few charts here for free

0 Upvotes

I built a Saju reader, based on the Korean branch of Four Pillars. The chart calculation is deterministic. AI helps turn it into a readable report, and I review the result before replying.

I want to test it with people who don't already know the system. I'll read a few charts here for free. I'd rather answer one question properly than give you a vague summary of everything.

If you'd like one, copy this into a comment:

Birth date: YYYY-MM-DD

Calendar: Gregorian/solar or lunar

Birth time: HH:MM in 24-hour time (or "unknown")

Birthplace: city, country

Gender setting for the chart: male/female

Question: one thing you want me to look at

Birthplace matters because I adjust the chart to local solar time. I also use the exact solar-term boundary, so the month or hour pillar can differ from what a quick online calculator shows.

If you don't know your birth time, that's fine. I'll read the three known pillars instead of guessing.

Please don't include your real name or anything else you don't want public. You can send the birth details by DM if you'd rather not post them in a comment.

Saju is a traditional interpretive framework, not a scientific assessment. I'll start with a few and work through them as I have time.

To be clear this is an AI Slop App (using Gemini) but it probably shouldn't be ignored as the Play Store is about to make it easier to publish there

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

Between everything else I do tinker with new tools and make sure I understand their limits in case they are useful for a specific reason.

I previously wrote off the AI Studio 'vibe like' app creator but I revisited it and this took maybe 3 separate sessions. The part that took the most time was getting the local Gemini model to massage the picture of a short I take and overlay it on a mockup.

In the next 2 weeks google is going to allow for more of these to go into the play store so expect a sloppy influx, but I was impressed that I could side load straight to my device and even push the project code to antigravity or git straight from a browser.

Oh this is just an app that lets me scan my way too many shirts then makes a slot machine to pick one. Not a bad concept, could be improved. I made sure that everything is stored in a way that I can "reprocess" the captures later. I only did it as I had to pull a draw completely out and fix the draw bottom.

I built the tool I wanted at 1am: app store screenshots from a URL

0 Upvotes

App store screenshots are such a weird final boss. You finish the app, then spend a day nudging phones around Figma and learning that Google wants 1024×500 for reasons known only to Google.

So I built Storeboard. Give it a URL, screenshot, or description and it makes exact-size App Store and Play sets, plus the listing copy. I also added a full-size preview because downloading every image just to squint at it felt silly.

It's here: https://storeboard.dev

Would genuinely love the brutal version: useful, or did I build an elaborate machine to avoid Figma?

Small annoyance that turned into a project: every time I opened a new AI chat to keep working on something, I'd spend the first five minutes re-explaining what I'd already told it yesterday.

So I built SAIPEN — a project keeps three small markdown files (what phase of work it's in, a ticket board, a log of what happened), and any AI session reads them and just continues. No more "let me catch you up."

It's free, MIT-licensed, plain text. Still shaking out rough edges — would love if a few people kicked the tires and told me what breaks: [github.com/vacterro/saipen]

My side project is a text RPG with no graphics, so I built a tool to help me market it.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

0 Upvotes

I have a side project that's a text-based, LLM-powered RPG. It's entirely text, with no graphics at all. It turned out to be a real problem the moment I tried to make any video content to promote it. It's surprisingly hard to put together a compelling clip when all you have is words on a screen.

So I ended up building a second thing to solve the first thing: https://motiontext.video. It takes stills, screenshots etc and turns them into actual video. It has a lot of cool features, this video is showing off the new parallax effect but it also has a built in stock-image and music library and a fully featured MCP server. It's fully usable manually or with AI but IMO the killer workflow is having AI layout the basic timeline and then tweaking the effects and text placements manually.

It's still early and a little rough in places, but I figured it might be useful to others here, especially anyone building something that doesn't have obvious visuals to show off. Happy to answer any questions.

I built a PDF, Spreadsheet, Doc, Slideshow editor. Check it out.

0 Upvotes

I've been working on a local-first office suite and finally got it to a point where I think it's worth sharing.

The idea is pretty simple: an office app that doesn't send your files anywhere and work cross platform via the Chrome Browser as an Extension.

It runs entirely on your computer (even though it's browser-based), so there's:

  • no cloud
  • no account
  • no telemetry
  • no server

You can literally open DevTools → Network, use the app, and see that nothing gets uploaded. The only network request is if you choose to activate the optional Pro license.

It handles:

  • PDFs (merge, edit text, forms, redact, sign, password protect, etc.)
  • Word documents (.docx)
  • Excel spreadsheets (.xlsx/.csv with formulas, charts, pivot tables)
  • PowerPoint presentations (.pptx)

Everything works offline, and your files never leave your device. I originally built it because I just wanted a light weight PDF editor and it just grows into an entire suite. I published it a couple of days and it has gotten a bunch of downloads. I'd genuinely love feedback from people who just want an alternative to web-based office suites. Happy to answer any questions or hear what features you'd want to see.

Here is my extension.
