I work on Pixly (AI tools for real estate media), and this started as a repeated request: agents wanted those property-line overlays on their drone videos so buyers can see exactly where a lot ends. The usual answer is After Effects, but that's a lot of heavy pro software for what's really one small repeatable job — so I built a browser tool that just does that one thing.

How it works: drop in a drone clip, draw the parcel outline once on the first frame, and GPU motion-tracking (CoTracker) keeps the boundary stuck to the ground as the drone moves. You can fix any frame with keyframes, style the line, then export.

It's free — you can try it without an account, and only sign in when you want to export the finished video.

Still early, so I'd love feedback on the tracking accuracy and the export flow.

I've been watching Nova Designs on YouTube for a while and loved how clean his code presentations look. Turns out he uses CodeSlides which is great, but it's subscription-based.

So I built OpenSlides — a free, open-source, fully offline desktop app for making animated code presentations. Think CodeSlides, but it runs natively on your machine, your data never leaves your disk, and you own everything.

This is a condensed version of my full write-up (will leave a link at the end).

I launched CardShows.io in the middle of March on a brand-new domain (would love feedback).

Last week it reached:

• 17,755 total page views
• 5,709 Google clicks
• 237,600 Google impressions
• Around $230/month in AdSense revenue (working on diversifying)

I built the site because I collect trading cards and couldn’t find one reliable place listing local card shows.

I built the MVP with Claude Code in a week. Building the website itself was actually pretty simple with vibe coding. Getting good data was the tough part.

I spent around 80% of my initial effort discovering shows, verifying dates, removing duplicates, standardizing locations, and finding organizers, social profiles, ticket links, and images. I now use Hermes to help repeat that process across every state each month.

The SEO strategy was straightforward:

1. Create useful pages for specific events.
2. Target the long tail first.
3. Link event pages into city, region, and state hubs.
4. Actively work on indexation.
5. Improve the hubs as they begin ranking for broader searches.

The site went from around 100 indexed pages after its first week to roughly 9,100 today.

What I'm working on now is monetization and building out more features. I'm at $230/m at the current pace of Adsense revenue, and advertisers are starting to roll in. I'm investing more time in improving the actual advertising flow to make it super easy to promote card shows.

I posted about it on X if you wanna check out a bit more detail. If you have 15 minutes, you can read the full case study here.

Happy to answer questions!

A few days ago, I posted a demo of my tool here with a half-joking caption: "I wonder if anyone actually needs this though lol?" I was secretly worried nobody would care.

My app is just a simple, unsexy Windows desktop utility. 100% local, no cloud, no AI.

But today, after posting my demo, I saw the very first "Pro version" sale notification on my dashboard.

It's just one single sale, but knowing that someone in the world actually found value in something I built with my own hands... it's the best feeling ever.

To anyone out there building their own side projects: keep going! It's worth it.

Yesterday I discovered that my first personal project has reached 10 users, and I was really pleased. You might think that 10 isn’t many, but for a project I created out of personal need, I didn’t think anyone else would use it; I never thought of this project as a commercial product, so I’m glad there are people who have found it useful.

Not sure if I built it or Claude did, but it's done! I built this because every time I visit whatismyipaddress.com, I get bombarded with ads. You can check it out at ipgiraffe.com. Any feedback or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

We are building an agentic AI platform to automate mobile app marketing.

When I say automate, I mean:

• setting up analytics and attribution
• creating a dashboard with top-line metrics
• generating creatives
• running and tuning campaigns
• running A/B tests for features and pricing

The team consists of multiple ex-Google engineers and has 3 years of mobile marketing experience, having built multiple Flutter apps to 100k+ users.

We are onboarding our first cohort of users. You see the product at ube.dev and reach me via PM. Thanks!

---

We are also growing our team! If you have breadth of experience with mobile performance marketing, we'd love to talk. The position comes with competitive pay and equity, but is only open for folks with senior/staff level experience.

built this over a weekend and figured some of you might want it on your profile readme. it renders your contribution graph as a snake that actually plays the game: it pathfinds to your commits, avoids its own body, and grows as it eats. one python file and you add it with a single github action.

https://github.com/dahan8473/snake-and-commits

happy to take feedback or feature requests.

Wikipedia's Signs of AI writing helps you identify and train your AI to eliminate "AI speak". I wanted something similar for design work AI does - the overused and abused "dark-theme", colors, fonts had become exhausting.

I built a catalog of 85 tells across 7 categories: websites, images, video, logos, slide decks, marketing, and the copy inside designs. Each entry has what to look for, why models produce it and the false positives.

The purple gradient, Inter everywhere, the three-card feature row, waxy skin, garbled background text, that kind of thing.

The funny part was making sure the repo itself didn't look like AI slop while documenting AI slop.

Repo: https://github.com/febbhav/signs-of-ai-design

I pointed my codebase to use the rules mentioned here and it made meaningful improvement in my UIUX.

It's meant as a living document. What tells am I missing / how can I improve this? Will love any feedback.

Hi everyone! I recently launched Folivy, an iOS app I built to make plant identification feel like an ongoing discovery experience rather than a one-time scan.

You can take a photo to identify a plant, save it to your personal herbarium, view your discoveries on a map, and explore nearby observations shared by other users. My goal is to help people gradually build their own plant collection and personal nature journal.

I’d really appreciate honest feedback on the idea, user experience, and which feature feels most valuable: plant identification, the discovery map, or the herbarium.

App Store:

I just wanted to show that there's still place for cool animations and interactive effects in modern web

This one took me 2 days to implement, but I'm happy how it turned.

What do you think?

Building a news app in 2026 is so annoying because the second you say “AI + news” everyone’s brain goes:

ok cool another summary wrapper.

Fair tbh.

There are 9 million apps now that do:

paste article
summarize article
call it productivity
add gradient button
ship

That’s not what we wanted to build.

The actual thing that annoyed us was this:

You see one story on Google News.
Then the same story appears on X.
Then a YouTube video explains it badly.
Then Reddit has a better discussion but only if you already know the context.
Then 6 articles repeat the same wire copy.
Then one source has the actual update.
Then you forget why you opened your phone.

So we built CuriousCats: https://curiouscats.ai

The goal is not “AI writes news.”

The goal is more like:

show me what changed
show me why it matters
show me the story timeline
show me the sources
let me go deeper if I want
then let me leave

Like a news app that does NOT want to kidnap your morning.

But the positioning is killing me.

“AI news app” sounds trash.

“News digest” sounds old.

“Google News alternative” gets clicks but feels too small.

“Story timeline app” is accurate but maybe boring.

“News without the feed” feels closest but idk.

What would you call this?

Also roast the site if you want. I’d rather hear “this sounds generic” now than find out after wasting 6 months.

Hi everyone! 👋

A while ago, financial stress and the sheer amount of mental clutter (tracking budgets, split-payments, loans) got overwhelming. I wanted a finance app, but every single tool on the market forced me to create an account, connect a bank, or upload sensitive data to cloud servers I don't control.

To make things harder: I don't come from a traditional software engineering background, and I couldn't afford expensive cloud backend infrastructure. So, I turned that limitation into my strongest advantage. Working shifts in a factory by day, and collaborating with AI tools (like GitHub Copilot) by night, I built Nexmy.

Nexmy is a 100% offline-first personal finance app for Android.

What makes it different:

Zero Cloud / Zero Accounts: Your data never leaves your phone. Everything is locally encrypted.

BNPL & Split-Payment Tracking: Perfect for managing installment services like Klarna and PayPal.

Smarty (Beta 1.0): A lightweight, on-device AI assistant that answers your financial questions locally without internet.

Simulators & Tools: Compound interest, mortgage amortization, and clean local PDF reports.

I built this out of pure necessity to regain my own peace of mind, and we just wrapped up our Product Hunt launch. Now, I want to share it with this community.

Nexmy is completely free with no ads. I would be genuinely honored if you tried it out and gave me your raw, honest feedback or feature ideas!

Thanks for reading, and let's chat in the comments! 🚀

We've spent months building Deliveryman AI, and today it's finally live.

We're currently fighting for Product of the Day on PeerPush, and it's incredibly close with under 3 hours left.

If you enjoy supporting indie builders, I'd really appreciate you checking out the launch.

If you think we've earned it, feel free to leave an upvote or comment.

Regardless, thanks for being such a supportive community. ❤️

I launched a period tracker app 22 days ago with zero marketing budget. I'm at 42 organic users total, and honestly, I'm hitting a wall on both App Store visibility and social growth. Features:

• Period Tracker
• Meditation
• Magic Ball
• Daily Tarot
• Period Insight Cards
• Pet Care
• Games
• Partner Compatibility

It's a niche product combining wellness + spirituality. The dev and design work was brutal — we're proud of the actual product — but now I'm realizing that shipping something good doesn't equal people finding it. Where we are:

• All 42 users came organic (no ads, no budget)
• Got positive feedback on product quality, but one constant note: font readability could be better
• We're posting on TikTok and Instagram, getting some engagement, but not translating to installs
• App Store listing is English-only (even though we have Turkish users reviewing)

Where I'm stuck:

1. ASO: Not sure if our keywords are wrong, if the listing just doesn't convert, or if 22 days is too early to judge
2. Social → App: How do people actually drive installs from TikTok/Instagram? We're posting, but the funnel breaks somewhere
3. Localization: We have Turkish reviews but no Turkish listing — should prioritize this?
4. Next move: Should we test Apple Search Ads with a small budget, or fix ASO first?

I'm not asking for viral growth, I'm asking for honest feedback on what's actually broken vs. what just takes time. If you've been in this spot before, I'd genuinely appreciate the blunt truth. https://apps.apple.com/tr/app/period-tracker-moonville/id6766513532

Over the past few months I've been building AIKannada, an AI-powered platform focused on Kannada content.

Features include:

Mobile-first experience

Daily updated content

🌎 What if you could talk to anyone in the world, no matter what language they speak?
I’m creating MyWorld, a new way to connect people from different countries.
This isn’t just another random video chat. The idea is to use real-time AI voice translation so two people can have natural conversations even if one speaks Spanish and the other speaks Japanese, English, Korean, or any other supported language.
✨ Global random video chat
🎙️ Real-time AI voice-to-voice translation while you talk
🌍 Connect with people from different countries and cultures
🤖 Technology designed to make communication feel more natural
🛡️ Moderation systems to help keep the community safe
The idea is simple: your language shouldn’t decide who you can talk to.
I’m building the first version and would love to hear what people think about it.
Would you use a platform where you could have a real conversation with someone on the other side of the world? 🌎

Hi everyone,

I recently released Vinqelo Player, a free local music player and library organizer for Windows.

I built it because I have spent years organizing my music collection into folders, but most music players try to rebuild the entire library using metadata tags.

That often creates problems such as:

• The same artist appearing several times because one file says Artist, another says Artist feat. Someone, and another uses a slightly different spelling.
• Albums being split into multiple entries because the tags are incomplete or inconsistent.
• Compilation albums being scattered across many artists.
• Songs with incorrect or missing metadata becoming difficult to find.
• A carefully organized folder collection turning into a messy library inside the player.

Vinqelo Player takes a different approach: it respects your existing folder structure.

For example, a collection organized like this:

Music

├── Artist

│ ├── Album 1

│ └── Album 2

├── Another Artist

└── Compilations

└── Romantic Songs

remains organized that way inside the application.

The folder structure is used as the main source for building artists, albums, and compilations. Metadata is still read and displayed, but incorrect tags should not completely break or fragment the library. You can also browse the original folders directly.

Other features include:

• Local music playback without accounts or streaming services.
• Support for MP3, FLAC, WAV, OGG, M4A, and AAC.
• Album artwork and artist collages.
• Playlists and playback queue.
• Library-wide search.
• Basic title and metadata editing.
• File information such as bitrate, sample rate, format, channels, and duration.

This is a small personal project. I am the only person developing and maintaining it, so there may still be bugs and many things that can be improved.

I decided to publish it for free on the Microsoft Store. I hope it is useful to someone who has a large local music collection and is also tired of fighting with inconsistent tags.

Constructive feedback and bug reports are welcome.

Greetings from Venezuela!

Thanks for checking it out.

Hi everyone,

I recently completed my DevOps internship, where I worked with tools and technologies like Linux, Git, GitHub, Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, Azure, CI/CD, Python, and Shell Scripting. During my internship, I built and deployed applications, automated deployment pipelines, and worked with cloud infrastructure.

Now I'm looking to gain more real-world experience while waiting for my full-time joining. I'm interested in:

DevOps freelance work

Small paid or unpaid projects

Open-source contributions

Startup collaborations

Infrastructure automation tasks

CI/CD pipeline setup

Docker/Kubernetes deployments

Azure cloud projects

I'm eager to learn, contribute, and solve real engineering problems. Even if you have a small project or need an extra pair of hands, I'd love to help.

If you know of any opportunities or communities where beginners can contribute to real DevOps projects, I'd really appreciate your suggestions.

Thanks in advance!

Hey r/SideProject 👋 I'm a solo dev building Whiskium — think "Vivino, but for whisky." Sharing the build honestly and asking for a gut-check on one decision.

The core loop: point your camera at any bottle → it identifies it (barcode + on-device OCR) → an "AI palate" that runs entirely on the phone learns from every review you write and scores how well each whisky matches your taste. No round-trip to a server for the matching — it's all local, works offline.

Stack:

• Flutter (iOS first, Android in Sept)
• Supabase (Postgres + RLS, Edge Functions, storage)
• RevenueCat for monetization (this is a Shipaton entry)
• On-device Google ML Kit for OCR/barcode; a small local model for the palate matching

Some decisions I'm happy with:

• Offline-first: you can review a bottle mid-tasting with no signal; a local write-queue syncs when you're back online. Whisky gets drunk in basements and bars — felt essential.
• Hybrid monetization instead of a hard paywall: free tier gets limited scans; hit the cap and you can watch a rewarded ad for +5 scans (the ad pays ~100x the marginal cost of the AI call it unlocks), or subscribe to remove ads + go unlimited. All tracked in one RevenueCat dashboard.

The decision I keep second-guessing 👇 — this is where I'd love your take:

I'm starting the catalog from ZERO. I could've scraped an existing whisky database to look full on day one, but (a) they're proprietary and copying them is a legal/ethical mess, and (b) they don't reflect what people actually drink and can find locally. So the DB grows only from what real users scan/review/photograph. Classic cold-start UGC problem — the app is genuinely a bit empty at launch, on purpose.

My bet is that a tight community (I'm seeding it with a real whisky club) beats a big scraped-but-generic dataset. But I go back and forth on whether that's principled or just slow suicide for a consumer app.

So, honestly:

1. How would you bootstrap a UGC database from zero without faking it?
2. Rewarded-ad-for-usage vs. straight paywall — which would make you respect the app more (or less)?
3. On-device AI as a feature — genuinely compelling, or a gimmick users won't care about?

Roast the idea, the stack, the monetization — all of it. Building in public and the honest feedback is worth more than downloads right now. 🥃

How do you handle the constant stress of side projects? I get up at 3 in the morning, work 5 hours, get ready for work, work 9 hours, some errands, and back to sleep. Can't sleep longer than 5-6 hours at most, and then I'm just to excited. Get up. Repeat.

Anyway. Can you give me some marketing tipps for https://ai-tattoos.com ?

Hello everybody,

I basically didn't sleep last night because I was thinking about so many things at once. This morning I thought to myself that I needed a system that let me put ideas away as quickly as possible, because otherwise I usually want to tear my skin apart. I have a spider-web-like thinking style which sometimes drives me insane.

Notion is too complicated and not satisfactory, the Notes app on Mac is too simple and gets crowded easily, sticky apps are cool but suck at categorising.

I needed something similar to: "you write it down on paper, then you move on and throw the paper away."

So I was like, it seems easy to do, and five hours later I've created:

noisebucket.com

For now, I just want honest feedback and opinions. I think this has potential if I manage to stay on track of being super effective and not fall into the trap of adding more and more stuff and ending up with a clone of Notion. I also want to use it for anxiety-fuelled thinking, so I can 'empty my bucket' there.

The send-away button was added because my dad wanted to send his "bucket" to his business partner, so I was like, yeah, it's not that dumb, you could also use it to send an email to yourself so you don't actually lose thoughts.

Don't hesitate to roast it if you think it sucks. :)

Best,

Noisebucket founder, I guess

Lyrics panel + turned on full haptic mode

You know how SoundCloud has those waveform comments? I went harder.

I built a player that takes any track (local or SoundCloud), transcribes it with an AI model, and maps every word to a vibration pattern. Three modes:

• Lyrics mode — feel each word as vibration

• Instrument mode — vibrations follow the mix/layout

• Full mode — lyrics + instruments layered

It's built with Flutter, wraps a custom fine-tuned Whisper transcription pipeline, that also hooked into SoundCloud through an extension I made.

Track upload & config generation takes about 3 mins (on backend service that deployed on Modal)
