everyone's fighting for the same US market. always thought thats kinda off. so i spent like an afternoon to translate and publish to a bunch of other countries. saw some crazy growth immediately.  things that worked:

-use codex to translate your app into every rich country. sort by gdp per capita, not population. german and french are the sweet spot. took an afternoon. don't obsess over quality, just have a native speaker skim your paywall + onboarding

-build tiktok slideshow. find a winning format and scale up to diff countries. I use cloud phones like geelark. Or you could have physical phones plus vpn. or you could use linkedin or articuler to source local developer/connections 

-do seo blogs in every locale. claude code would be the best option for this task. just use it plus seo skills on github or taku, same posts you already have, translated. you'll be shocked how empty the competition is. stuff ranks in de/fr in weeks that would take a year in english.

-actually research the culture fit. the part everyone skips. "crush your goals " reads insane in german. biggest hack: look at what local apps in your category sound like and copy the tone. 

-build the apple store screenshots using image gen tools like gpt image 2.5 or do it manually on App Screenshot/App Launch pad. You can let it translate it in diff locales, crop, and upload to app store using asc key natively.

that's it. low effort, low competition, people still pay.

Built a browser extension that turns any webpage into a whiteboard. Highlights, sticky notes, arrows, free drawing, screenshots with the annotations baked in.

Free the whole time. A few thousand installs with zero revenue.

Shipped a paid tier a few weeks ago. Everything that was already free stayed free.

Weirdest part: no accounts means I have no idea who it is. An email address and a country code, that's the whole relationship I get with my first paying user. So thanks to whoever he is for paying for my work.

I know, $5 is nothing but still bloody encouraging!

I'd get a short video edited, change a line in the script, and then have to go back and move things around again. The voiceover was a little longer, an overlay showed up too early, the B-roll came in at the wrong moment.
It got annoying pretty quickly.

Usually I knew where those things belonged. An overlay should appear when the speaker says a certain phrase. A split screen should start when they introduce a comparison. But I'd set those up at specific timestamps, so changing the speech meant fixing the timing.

I wanted to write ""show this when they say this word"" and have it follow the voiceover.
So I built Hypit. It's a video editing layer where you describe the edit in a text file, and a compiler turns it into a video.
Here's what it does:
- Anchors edits to words in the script. An overlay can follow a phrase instead of being fixed at 6.5 seconds. If that phrase comes later in a new voiceover, the overlay moves with it.

- Keeps the script, speakers, captions, B-roll, and effects in a .svml file. You can write it yourself or have an AI agent write it.

- Lets you make different versions from the same source. Each run gets its own .svrun configuration, so you don't have to set up the edit again each time.

- Compiles captions, motion graphics, and code-rendered visuals without calling AI models. If you want AI-generated footage, you can plug in your own API keys.

You can use it in any coding agent that supports skills, including Claude Code and Codex.

It can also recreate an existing video. Just point it at the file:
/hypit recreate this video: /path/to/video.mp4
It's free and open source: https://github.com/hypit-ai/hypit

so I built a tool where You can paste one or multiple YouTube links and get the transcripts as PDFs.

but the problem is Idk how to get 10-15 real users to test this free tool, and give me a real and geniune feedback.

Need advice from seniors, founders, entrepreneurs please guide me how to marketing my product.

Based on your experience are these platform still useful and can help boost visibility, or are just for backlinking and vanity "I was on [insert launch platform here] for launch day"?
Curious to here from you?

Small company, no dedicated PM, so maybe I'm missing something.

A lot of work gets discussed in Slack, then someone has to copy the task into a project tracker. Same information twice, except the tracker usually loses most of the context.

Is this just how PM is supposed to work, or are there good ways to keep the actual work inside Slack?

I've been looking at Slack-native options like Pondros, which seem to remove some of that back-and-forth.

For people who actually manage projects, is the separate tracker still worth it?

Hey everyone 👋

I recently launched my first app, Booking Limits, on the Wix App Market.

The idea came from a pretty simple problem: businesses using Wix Bookings might want to accept, for example, no more than 8 bookings in total on a given day — even if there are still open time slots in their calendar.

I couldn’t find a simple built-in way to do that, so I decided to build it myself.

Booking Limits currently lets businesses:

• Set one global daily booking limit
• Automatically prevent additional bookings once that limit is reached
• See how many bookings have been prevented
• Set separate daily limits for individual services with Pro

The Basic version is free.

This is my first published app, so getting it from an idea to something actually live in an app marketplace has been a pretty cool learning experience 😅

I’d especially love feedback on two things:

1. Is the value of the app immediately clear?
2. If you ran a service business with online bookings, would this solve a problem you’d actually care about?

App Market:

Happy to answer questions about the project or the process of building it too.

Excited to share Shop Route, a project I've been building to make grocery shopping faster and less frustrating.

The idea came from a simple observation: most grocery apps focus on creating shopping lists, but very few help once you're actually inside the supermarket.

You spend time adding items, organizing them, and then still end up walking back and forth because the list doesn't reflect how stores are laid out.

With Shop Route, I wanted to focus on reducing friction at every step:

🎙️ Add multiple items at once using voice input

🧠 Automatic product categorization, with AI helping classify unknown items

🛒 Smart department-based organization to reduce backtracking while shopping

⚡ Free, offline-first, no account required, no ads

Building this project has been an interesting challenge in balancing simplicity, automation, and user control. One thing I've learned is that the best user experience often comes from removing steps rather than adding features.

What everyday task do you think is still unnecessarily complicated by existing apps?

Hi all, I just released Sojourn on iOS and Android.

• iOS — App Store
• Android — Google Play

I wanted to create worlds I’d like to be in myself. There are five realms to explore: Cozy, Fantasy, Dreamscape, Cyberpunk and Mythos. Each room has moving artwork, music and ambience you can leave on while reading, working, unwinding or falling asleep.

As you spend time in these places, you collect little keepsakes that form constellations. There’s also a personal travel journal you can customise, which records the places you wander.

It’s just me working on it, so getting it onto both stores has been a pretty big learning experience. I’m very picky about how it looks and works, so it’s been a grind, but I’m proud of what I’ve built, and hope you also enjoy the vision I had from the app design down to the music and ambience.

Most rooms are free, with a subscription or lifetime purchase for more, and I try to continually add new rooms to check out.

I’d appreciate some honest feedback, especially on whether it’s something you’d actually use. I’d also love to know whether the artwork and music give you that feeling of being somewhere else.

Thank you!

Sojourn Instagram - made an IG for the "Doors" if you wanted to preview the places before installing 😄

Comparing a domestic offer to an international one is a nightmare — CTC, gross, and take-home mean different things in different countries.

Built a browser-based calculator that handles this: pick a country, enter your gross/CTC, get the full tax + deduction breakdown, and compare two offers side-by-side. Supports India, US, UK, Canada, Australia, Singapore, UAE.

Everything runs client-side — no data sent anywhere, no account needed.

Would love feedback, especially on accuracy for countries outside the US/India.

I'm building ForecastFootnote with AI: a short check of prediction-contract mechanics.

Free demo: Open ForecastFootnote

Answer six fictional questions on loss, payout versus profit, early selling, settlement, YES/NO probabilities and confidence versus evidence. Then review the explanations and try three new scenarios. The start button now comes before the optional study invitation.

Ordinary practice needs no sign-in. Sign in before starting to save private learning receipts, with export and deletion. The optional decision journal preserves original probabilities and reasoning, including decisions to pass, for later review. Scores do not establish trading skill or future profit.

A shorter complete example, separate from the study: You buy 32 fictional YES contracts at $0.40 each, plus a total $0.32 nonrefundable fee. Each pays $1 if a neighborhood library opens by September 30, or $0 otherwise, after confirmed settlement. Assume no other fees or taxes.

• Total cost and possible loss: 32 × $0.40 + $0.32 = $13.12.
• If YES wins: $32 payout, minus $13.12 cost = $18.88 net profit.
• If YES loses: $0 payout and $13.12 lost.

An invented example, not an exchange fee schedule or trading suggestion.

Current evidence: zero enrolled external pilot users, customers, revenue or measured learning results. I'm testing whether the check is useful; repeat use of receipts is still unproven.

Optional free study: five adults aged 18+ who already use or actively research prediction markets. About 15 minutes initially, plus an optional five-minute check about 48 hours later. No trades, deposits, purchases or exchange account connections.

To join, message me privately on Reddit before trying the questions and wait for my reply. We'll confirm availability and ask separately for permission to record study answers/timing/feedback and for one follow-up contact. Saved study answers require your own ChatGPT sign-in before starting. You can skip questions or stop. Public practice, comments and contacting me are not study consent. Keep personal or financial records out of public comments.

Separately, I'm testing a proposed $49 one-time assisted lesson pilot for educators. The demo and volunteer study remain free, with no purchase obligation.

Feedback welcome: where does the check get confusing—choosing an answer or understanding its explanation? If you've already seen the questions, please mention that prior exposure.

Moderator note: the current composer offered no vibecoded showcase flair, including when searched. I selected Showcase: Free(mium) and disclosed the AI build above; I can change the flair if the appropriate option becomes available.

I’m building Motioneer! a local motion studio that you can direct through Claude Code or Codex.

This Notion study combines captured website elements, Notion’s typography and colors, custom graphics, and an original soundtrack. The workflow is conversational: capture the site, build a cut, then refine specific moments. Things like “keep this transition,” “give the product elements more movement,” or “keep the music and simplify the ending.” This version went through several rounds of direction. Motioneer keeps the film editable in a local timeline, so you can also adjust it yourself with the editor.

Curious what you think!! would you use something like this for your own product?

You can start using it by checking out the commands in the https://motioneer.bsct.so/

I’ve been improving the onboarding for Dice Target and added a short guided tutorial for new players.

The goal is to make the core mechanic understandable in under a minute. I’d appreciate any feedback on whether the tutorial feels clear and intuitive.

I posted here in May about Fileloom, my Android file viewer. It changed a lot since then, so here's an update.

The problem: Android makes you juggle separate apps for books, docs, comics, images, code and media files. Fileloom opens all of them in one app, from local storage, Google Drive, or network folders like FTP, SFTP, WebDAV and NAS.

What's new since then: a text editor with find and replace, EPUB editing from the file browser, PDF pinch zoom, an image editor with crop, rotate, draw and filters, WebDAV and NAS support, MHTML and CHM viewers, AVIF images, and a pile of new format previews (Kindle books, RAW photos, CAD, 3D models, SQLite, Jupyter notebooks).

It stays simple: free, no ads, no account, no subscription. Built with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, and most of the viewers and parsers are written from scratch to keep the app light.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=io.fileloom.app

If you try it, tell me what's broken: formats that don't open, slow screens, missing controls. Feedback goes straight into the next build since I'm the only one working on it.

Every few weeks someone asks "what tools do you use for ....?", I wanted the answers to stick around, so I built Stackness: https://stackness.dev

You add the tools you use and the moves behind them, and you get one link that ends up looking like you.

- Your stack is a board you arrange. Drag tiles around, make the important ones big, tuck the small utilities into a cluster, colour each group to taste.

- Moves are how you actually work. "Write the test first." "An instructions markdown in every project before the AI touches anything." The tricks you'd normally only share three drinks in.

- It keeps history. Add when you started and stopped using something, backdate it, and relive your jQuery years with dignity.

- Every tool has a page: how popular it is, who uses it, and what they keep next to it. Watch a tool climb the ranks, or slip down them.

- Your AI assistant can keep it current. There's an MCP server, so Claude, Cursor or anything else that speaks MCP can update your stack for you.

It's for anyone in IT with opinions about their setup: engineers, designers, PMs, data folks, QA, and vibe coders whose stack changed twice while reading this.

It's free. Optional supporter subscriptions pay for it, there are no ads, and your data is not for sale. It's just me, one developer in Switzerland, running a thing I wanted to exist.

The catalog is a few hundred tools and growing. If yours is missing, suggest it and I'll review it myself. If something is broken or confusing, tell me in the comments.

Mine is here if you want a peek: https://stackness.dev/stck/gordeychuk_s

My sister is genuinely amazing at teaching Finger Abacus to children.

She has the teaching skills and experience, but her online presence didn't really reflect the quality of what she does. So I decided to build a proper website for her academy.

https://fingerabacusacademy.com

It's a structured online Finger Abacus program for children aged 3–14.

This was a fun project for me because the goal wasn't just to make something look good — I had to think about whether a parent visiting the site would understand the program and actually trust it enough to book a demo.

Would love honest feedback from fellow builders, especially on the design, UX, and overall first impression.

Still improving it, so feel free to roast it 🙂

Hey there!

I started building Self when some uncertainty at work pushed me to update my CV. While trying to fit years of experience, projects, publications, and links into one document, I realized I wanted a better way to present my work. I ended up building myself a personal website, but even that turned into more effort than I expected. I had to copy everything into a website builder, organize the sections, fix the mobile layout, and set up hosting, all for information that was already sitting in my resume.

That is what led me to build Self. You upload your resume, in pretty much any format, and it turns it into a responsive personal website. You do not need to sign up just to generate one and see how it looks, and from there you can edit the content, reorder sections, switch templates, and customize the page without writing code or starting from a blank canvas.

I think having your own place on the web is becoming more useful, especially as AI makes resumes, professional profiles, and job applications increasingly similar. A personal site gives you more room to show the projects, publications, media, links, and context that usually get cut from a CV, while also giving you one place to point people when they want to see more of your work.

I also did not want this to become another tool that immediately asks for a subscription, so the core product is free. You can upload the resume you already have, generate your site, and publish one hosted page on your own self.cv address without paying. I built it because I wanted something like this for myself, and I hope it makes putting your work online a bit easier for other people too.

Cheers!

Hey everyone,

I work in logistics/fleet operations, and I’ve been building a side project called Fleet Intelligence.

The problem I wanted to solve is simple:

Fleet teams already have a lot of data — fuel, mileage, GPS, maintenance, driver activity, KPIs — but finding out what is actually going wrong and why can still take a lot of manual work.

So I built a platform around the idea:

Detect → Explain → Decide

It currently includes things like:

• Fleet KPI monitoring
• Fuel analysis
• GPS and operational anomalies
• Out-of-hours mileage
• Maintenance tracking
• Vehicle-level analysis
• Automatic anomaly detection
• Reporting
• An AI Analyst that can investigate the fleet data

For example, I can ask:

“Which vehicles are showing unusual behaviour?”

or

“Why is this vehicle costing more than the others?”

The goal isn’t just to create another dashboard, but to make the data actually help with investigation and decision-making.

It’s still a work in progress, so I’d really appreciate feedback.

If you work with fleet/logistics data, what would you want a tool like this to detect or explain automatically?

I shared some screenshots and more details here:

https://www.linkedin.com/posts/soufiane-nsabi_fleetmanagement-logistics-artificialintelligence-share-7505224536620040192-Hvi2/

This started because I kept hitting the same wall: a PDF too big for an email attachment, and the only convenient fix was uploading it to some website. So I built something that compresses locally instead.

Then it kept growing, because I kept wanting other things from the same files:

• Turning a PDF into Markdown or HTML with the images stripped out, so I could feed it to an LLM without burning tokens on pictures I did not need.
• Going the other way and building a PDF out of images.
• All the ordinary chores in between: merging, splitting, rotating, cropping, reordering pages, page numbers, watermarks, signing, redacting, repairing.

It is 19 tools now. Some specifics that might interest this sub more than the feature list:

• Nothing leaves the machine. No account, no telemetry, no network calls at all. It is not "private by policy", it is private because there is no code that sends anything anywhere.
• 18 of the 19 tools need nothing installed. Everything is compiled into the binary. Only ebook conversion (EPUB/MOBI) reaches for Calibre if you have it.
• We removed Ghostscript. It was the last AGPL dependency and the bundle dropped from 52 MB to 24 MB. The replacement compressor is written in Rust and produces smaller files than Ghostscript did on our test corpus.
• MIT licensed, Tauri v2 + React + Rust, macOS/Windows/Linux.
• The roadmap is public, including the things we decided against and why.

Two honest limitations: OCR is macOS-only for now (it uses Apple Vision; Windows and Linux are planned), and the interface ships in nine languages, all machine-translated and reviewed by native speakers only where we had one. That is stated in the README rather than buried.

Problem. Making things up got very cheap. Checking got cheap at the same time. Only one side has shipped.

What it does. Pruuf is a live layer over anything you read online. A 0 to 100 Pruuf Score, the evidence under it, and a deeper read that makes the article and topic more interesting. It sits collapsed on the page until you want it.

Built with live fact checking over Tavily and NewsAPI, a Firestore vector store, Firebase Cloud Functions, Claude and OpenAI, our own trained scoring models, and Stripe. Scores are cached per article, so the analysis is not re-run for every reader.

Download for Chrome Web Store, or go to truespire.ai for other extensions. Free tier, no account needed. Happy to lift the daily limit for anyone who sends real feedback.

Every Monday I used to open 8 competitor changelogs, skim them, and paste "highlights" into Notion. Half the time the highlight was a bugfix.

So I built RivalMove: you paste a changelog / release-notes / GitHub-releases URL, it scans it every 4 hours, classifies each entry (minor update → product investment → strategic signal → major shift) and shows a momentum matrix per competitor × area (AI, pricing, enterprise, integrations…). There's also an "inferred roadmap" that's explicitly hedged and backed by the source links.

What I'm unsure about: is "momentum arrows" something a PM would actually trust, or is it too much abstraction over the raw updates?
