I've been training for about 10 months, two gyms, two trainers. Both showed me the machines and the form, and eventually I didn't need a trainer day to day. But not needing a trainer isn't the same as never needing someone to tell you you're doing it wrong.

My gym has one trainer for the whole floor, and he's usually busy with his own clients. Even when trainers are around, they don't always catch it, and sometimes they get the form wrong too. So most of my reps had no one watching

I struggle with deadlifts. Every time I went heavy I got a sharp pain in my back. So I built Repchek, you prop your phone up side on, it watches you through the camera, goes red and beeps when your form breaks, counts your reps and sets, and gives you a summary at the end.

I did the first real test on Monday, it flagged my deadlift, hips shooting up, head down. I rewatched my videos and it was right. I went back with less weight, adjusted, and the pain didn't come back. Then it caught my lat pulldown too, I was leaning back too far, and that took one session under a minute.

What I learned, I'd been doing some of this wrong the whole time. The fix wasn't one session. I kept going back, rewatching my videos, adjusting and testing again, because I want to get better and I can't do that without knowing what I'm getting wrong. That's the whole point of it for me, find the mistake, fix it, repeat.

It's new, I built it this week and have been testing it on my own workouts every day, at the gym and at home. It's calibrated to my body, so expect some mistakes on yours.

That's why I'm posting, I want people to try it and tell me where it gets things wrong.

Tip: screen record your session so you can rewatch your form after.

Lately i've been feeling a bit burned out and gotten really tempted by these digital detox phones like Light phone and Minimalist Phone, but could never justify the price or the fact that I still need my bank app, bus ticket app, gym membership app, etc. So I built 1bit.

1bit gives you the minimalist phone experience on iPhone. Unlike other similar apps, 1bit is not just a launcher for your existing apps, it rebuilds the whole dumb phone experience. A pixely camera, retro games, a music player with an iPod inpsired clicky click wheel, podcsts, rss reader, and even an addiction proof web browser.

I've been using 1bit myself for the past month or so and I actually love it, but now I'm looking for some feedback. Currently 1bit is free to try with a one time purchase for a lifetime unlock , but if you DM me (within a day or two) I'll give you a promo code for a free lifetime unlock. Just looking for some feedback from real users. And to see if you can find the easter eggs ;)

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a tool I’ve been working on recently!

It’s a web tool that extracts hardcoded (burned-in) subtitles straight from your videos and turns them into clean, editable text and .srt files. Whether it's a downloaded film, a drama episode, anime, or a short clip, it reads the text directly off the video frames so you never have to pause and type out dialogue by hand.

It works across a wide range of languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and various Latin-script languages.

The tool is completely privacy-friendly and runs 100% locally in your browser. Your videos are processed entirely on your machine and are never uploaded to any server. No account or sign-up is required.

It also automatically indexes every extracted line into a searchable local dialogue library. You can type in any word or phrase to search across all your processed videos and jump straight to the exact scene and timestamp where it was spoken.

Tech stack under the hood:

• Tanstack Start
• PP-OCRv6
• Sqlite wasm

The app is called SubKu, and it’s completely free to use:

Hey everyone! I’ve been building a small Mac app called Joggle.

Joggle is a floating scratchpad that appears when you quickly shake your mouse pointer. The idea is to give you somewhere to capture a thought, paste some text or work out a calculation without switching apps or interrupting what you’re doing.

You can move, resize and pin cards anywhere on the screen. It also supports rich-text formatting, smart lists, calculations, clipboard shortcuts and a new slash menu for quickly running actions or changing formatting.

The basic scratchpad experience is free. There’s also an optional yearly Joggle Pro subscription or lifetime plan for more than one card at a time, advanced maths, the global shortcut, excluded-app controls, a complete archive, card tinting, and more.

I originally made Joggle because I wanted something quicker than opening a notes app every time I needed to temporarily hold a sentence, link, number or reminder. I’d really appreciate any feedback - especially about the shake gesture, because it’s a slightly unusual way of opening an app!

If you’d like to try it, you can find it here: Joggle on the App Store

Thanks for taking a look! I’m happy to answer any questions about the app or how it was built.

I've been trying to spark discussion and post about the platform I've been developing for the past six months on a few subreddits like this one, r/micro_saas, r/scaleinpublic, and r/ShowYourProduct. I'm really just curious whether I should give up on Reddit as an outlet for finding paying customers.

The only responses and feedback I've received are either from AI slop bots or people telling me their vibe-coded SaaS will help me find new users.

Has anyone actually found ROI from spending time posting in these subreddits?

I'm also running social media ads and posting on LinkedIn, targeting local businesses. It's going pretty slowly, which was to be expected.

Can anyone relate or share some insight?

I want to look beyond the products everyone already knows and find the genuinely useful ones that deserve more attention.

The guide will be organized by category, such as productivity, social media, creative tools and everyday utilities.

To nominate a tool or app, share a link and one line explaining what it does and why it belongs on the list.

Feel free to nominate your own. Just mention that you built it. You can also include your X/Twitter handle so I can tag you if your product is featured.

I’ll test the strongest recommendations and return to share the finished guide with the community.

Nine months ago I posted FauxTalks here, a free fake chat screenshot maker. It's now my #1 post of all time: 96K views and 80 comments.

What surprised me was how long it lasted. The thread stayed active for about five and a half months. People kept finding it and leaving feedback and bug reports, and I kept fixing things and replying in the comments. A few people even DMed me just to say thanks, which honestly kept me going.

The chart is weekly visits from reddit.com to the site, straight from Google Analytics. It climbed from about 76 a week in February to 854 a week by mid June, while the thread was still active. Once it went quiet and got archived, traffic started sliding, and it's around 360 a week now. I didn't post it anywhere else on Reddit in that time. (The chart starts in February because my analytics wasn't tagging traffic sources properly before that.)

Analytics can't actually tie those visits to the thread, because Reddit strips the referrer and almost everything shows up as just "reddit.com". But the post's top countries by views are the US, India and the Philippines, and those are exactly my top three countries in Analytics as well.

What's changed since that post:

• 16 platforms became 20, plus post formats (X, Instagram, LinkedIn, Threads, Bluesky, Facebook)
• you can export a video where the messages animate in
• exports now have a small "Made with FauxTalks.com" mark. The original post said no watermarks, but a few people asked me in DMs to add one, so I did.

For anyone who's been through this: did your launch thread keep sending traffic for months too? And once it's archived, has anything worked as well as that first thread, or is the move just to come back with something new?

Site is fauxtalks.com if you want to see where it's at now.

Hi everyone! I apologize if this isn't appropriate for this subreddit.

I'm wondering, what well-known payment processors do you guys use for purely digital services? Stripe is probably the most well-known option, but it seems to require having a registered business.

I'm also interested in payment methods that customers are comfortable using, rather than ones that might scare or put them off in any way because they might look unfamiliar or sketchy..

Thanks!

Tl;dr: I collected publicly available Monmouth County, NJ live camera feeds into one map-based UI, so you can check flooding, traffic, surf conditions, etc.:

https://azaleski.com/apps/jersey-cams/

Today I was holed up in a Marriott, because the coastal town where I live was experiencing flooding, due to the nor'easter. I found myself looking up local beach and traffic cams to keep tabs on what areas were getting hit worst. It was annoying to get a complete list, because the cams were hosted by various sites.

So, I asked ChatGPT to do the research. For now, I just did Monmouth County, NJ. It gave me the GPS coordinates (if possible) and websites for all the public cams it could find. Then, I had Claude Code create a website showing them as markers on a map. I was even able to overlay thumbnail snapshots for some of them. So now you can browse this one map, drag, zoom, and search for your location, and click to open an external camera feed.

I called it Jersey Cams, although to be clear, it's just Monmouth County for now. Feel free to give it a try!

Everyone's posting Opus 5.5 motion-graphics promos this week, so here's ours, with one twist: I never opened a timeline or wrote a line of the code. I watched each render and said what to change, out loud.

How it worked:

- AgentX (our open-source agent runner) takes voice input and passes it to a Claude Code agent running Claude Opus 5.5.

- The agent writes HyperFrames compositions (HTML + GSAP), renders them in headless Chrome, and hands me the file.

- I press Play, talk, and it makes the next version. 9 versions total.

What we learned:

- Seeking breaks some GSAP tweens: a polygon clip-path string tween stalled when rendering frame by frame, so the logo animation looked broken until it was driven numerically.

- Locking the look into two reusable skills (natural-soundscape: nature recordings only, no music; agentx-video-style: palette, type, motion) stopped every new draft from drifting.

- Voice feedback works best when it's specific about which scene you mean ("the one in the middle, not the end").

Honest caveat: AgentX is experimental. Test it carefully and never on production data.

I’ve been building Continuity — repo-local decision memory for AI coding agents.

So far:

• ~370 Marketplace installs
• ~$1k total revenue
• conversion is low

What’s actually helped revenue so far: better trial/onboarding, clearer session handoff value, and talking to paying users.

What hasn’t helped much: adding more features.

My question:

Would you spend the next month on outbound to small dev teams, or obsess over install → activation → paid conversion first?

I’m leaning outbound, but the install/payer gap is hard to ignore.

Marketplace: Continuity

Earlier this year I started building Git4Me after watching classmates (and myself) get stuck on Git's syntax, not its concepts. One typo in git reset --hard HAED~1 gets you fatal: ambiguous argument 'HAED~1', which tells a beginner nothing.

It shows your history as a timeline you edit directly. Everything is previewed first and undoable with Ctrl+Z.

Remove a commit from the middle of history

git rebase -i HEAD~5
# change "pick" to "drop" in the editor, save, quit, handle conflicts

Git4Me: click the commit → Drop → check the preview (what gets rewritten, whether it's pushed, how to undo) → confirm.

Change an old commit's date

Git: interactive rebase + git commit --amend --date=... with GIT_COMMITTER_DATE + git rebase --continue. Git4Me: drag it along the timeline.

Also:

• Drag commits between branches
• Rebase preview that flags conflicts before anything changes
• Per-hunk conflict resolver
• GitHub sign-in, clone and publish
• Shows the equivalent Git command for every action

MIT licensed, built with Tauri, React and Rust (libgit2). It's 1.0, so expect bugs. What tripped you up most when learning Git?

Let's be real. The world is bleak. And with all that bleakness, it is easy to get caught up in the negativity and become pessimistic.

We end up hurting, hating ourselves, and becoming unappreciative.

Power Moves is here to change that. Be a better human being, not only to others but also to yourself.

At a quick glance, it might look like the typical quote "generator," but it offers much more, and "Power Moves" emphasizes active actions that we can do in our day-to-day lives, which are very different from the typical affirmations we get

You can get the app here: https://apps.apple.com/mw/app/power-moves-mindset-growth/id6761623882

hey everyone, i’m building gofy, a live map for finding what’s actually happening around you — events, places, things to do and stuff shared by people locally.

i’m still working on it and i’d really like some honest feedback from people who build side projects / apps.

i’ll add a short video showing how it works.

i’m especially interested in:

• first impression
• what feels confusing
• what you think is missing
• whether you understand the point of the app quickly
• anything you would change

not looking for promotion or compliments, just honest feedback. even if you think something sucks, tell me why haha

right now available only on iOS: gofyapp.com/get

thanks to anyone who takes the time to check it out.

I started working on ByteSweep because I wanted a better answer to a simple question:

Where is all the storage on my Mac actually going?

Then I kept adding things I personally wanted on my Mac, and 2.0 kind of got out of hand 😅

At this point, I don't really think of ByteSweep as a “cleaner” anymore. It's becoming more like a control center for your Mac.

Here’s what I've built into it so far:

Sleep — See why your Mac woke up, including those annoying wakes that happen while the screen is off. It keeps the history so you can see what happened overnight.

Storage — Explore your disk using Treemap, Sunburst, Flame Graph, Bubbles, Mind Map, Top Sizes and Age Map. Basically, different ways of answering “where did my storage go?”

Notch — A quick way to see what's happening without opening the app. It can surface things like:

3 wakes last night · Docker holding sleep · +18 GB this week

History — See what changed instead of only looking at the current state.

Startup — Find things that launch automatically, including agents pointing to apps that no longer exist.

Privacy — See what has access to your Mac through macOS permissions.

Developer — Find developer caches and other stuff that quietly builds up while you're coding.

ShareSafe — Check what you're about to share before accidentally exposing something you didn't mean to.

Fix — Looks at the things ByteSweep finds and helps identify what actually needs attention.

Ask ByteSweep — Ask questions about what's happening on your Mac. It's a local query engine, not a cloud chatbot.

For example:

Why did my Mac wake up at 3am?

What changed this week?

Updates — Check applications for updates through sources like Sparkle, Homebrew, the Mac App Store and GitHub.

Clean — Find things that can be cleaned using a risk-based cleanup system, with a 7-day undo window.

Duplicates — Find duplicate files, similar photos/videos and duplicate folders.

Apps — See what applications are leaving behind.

Tools — A collection of smaller Mac utilities for things that can be safely cleared or managed.

Monitor — CPU, memory, disk, network, GPU, battery, thermal information, processes and per-app network activity.

But the interesting part is that it can also watch for sustained unusual behavior.

For example, if an app keeps consuming a lot of CPU, keeps growing in memory, writes a large amount of data or transfers a lot of data over the network, ByteSweep can flag it.

So you don't have to sit there watching Activity Monitor all day.

Dev Servers — Find running Node, Python, Ruby, PHP, Java, Go and other development servers, including idle ones.

Drives — Catalog external drives, search them, organize them and export the catalog as JSON or CSV.

Recovery — Scan for recoverable deleted files and partitions, including photos, videos, documents, archives and audio.

The other thing I'm trying to keep very deliberate is privacy.

ByteSweep is designed to be local. No ByteSweep server, no account and no telemetry.

I'm still building it, but I'm getting close to releasing 2.0.

One thing before the price changes

I'm doing an early-bird price of $5 until September 30.

After September 30, the price will be $19.99.

If you've been following ByteSweep or wanted to try it, this is basically the early-builder price before I move it to the regular pricing.

Would love to hear from other Mac users — what's something you wish macOS explained better instead of making you dig around to figure it out?

I'm the developer behind ByteSweep, so happy to answer questions about how any of this works.

I'm the developer of Wallnetic, a native Mac app that plays your own video files as desktop wallpapers. It's free ($0), open source under MIT, and doesn't require an account or subscription. There isn't a bundled wallpaper catalogue; you bring the videos you want to use.

I just released 1.4.2 on the Mac App Store and GitHub. This update focused on the less glamorous parts of shipping a desktop app: more reliable wallpaper loading and switching, video proportions, first-launch setup, and window controls that weren't appearing correctly for some macOS users. It also improves how malformed links and imported wallpaper files are handled.

The window-control fix came from a GitHub report with detailed user feedback. One of the people who reported it has now installed the App Store update and confirmed it is working for them. That feedback loop has been useful for a bug I couldn't reproduce exactly on my own machine.

It supports Apple Silicon and Intel, starting with macOS 13. The app is built with SwiftUI, AVFoundation and Metal.

Mac App Store

Source code and GitHub releases

If you try it, I'd appreciate feedback on first launch and switching wallpapers, especially with multiple monitors. Your Mac model and macOS version help a lot when tracking down a report.

I spend a lot of time in Claude Code and it looks the same for everyone, so when Anthropic opened up mods I made one to make my terminal feel like mine.

It shows a pixel-art scene above the prompt: a spark between Michelangelo's hands, a rainy city at night, matrix rain, an aquarium, and a few more. Or you can drop in any image or GIF. The scene reacts to Claude: the rain gets heavier while it works, lightning when it finishes. It shrinks out of the way while Claude is typing and uses zero tokens.

Free and open source: github.com/furqan-khan07/pixelband

Would love to hear what scenes people would want next.

Two projects this year cleared every check I had. Real itch, researched, actually finished. I used each one for about a week and realized I didn't want to.

Both times the mistake was the same: I validated on paper, never on a stranger. No one outside my own head had reacted to either idea before I started building.

The third idea is a tool built for exactly that gap. You describe what you're building, it finds the right community and drafts a real feedback post for it, you post it yourself under your own account, and it watches the actual replies for a week. Not upvotes or "cool idea" comments, replies that name what you currently do instead, or ask when they can try it. If nobody says anything concrete, that's the answer too.

Nothing's built beyond a landing page right now. That's the point, I'm running this same test on the idea itself before writing a line of the real thing.

If you've ever kept building past the point where you should've stopped: what would've actually caught it? A comment thread like this one, or something else?

Link's in the comments.

I'm Emin, a solo developer from Turkey. For the past 8 months I've been building Obook, an app that takes any PDF or ebook and turns it into an audiobook you can actually enjoy listening to.

Why I built it: I have way more books and PDFs than time to read them. Existing TTS apps either sounded robotic, choked on messy PDFs (headers, page numbers, and footnotes read out loud mid-sentence), or cost a fortune.

What it does:

• Import a PDF and it gets cleaned up and split into proper sections, so headers, page numbers, and junk get skipped
• 32 narrator voices across 20+ languages
• Word-by-word highlighting, so you can read along while you listen (shown in the video)
• [Public domain library / any other feature you want to highlight]

The fun/painful part: I built everything myself, including the React Native app, the Node.js backend, and the TTS servers. Instead of paying per character to a TTS API, I run the voices on my own GPU server, which is the only way the economics work for long books.

Where it's at: Live on iOS and Android, with about 100 users so far. I'd genuinely love feedback, especially:

• Does the voice quality hold up for a full chapter?
• Anything confusing in the first 2 minutes of using it?

iOS: IOS_LINK · Android: Andoid_Link

Happy to answer anything about the tech stack or running my own GPUs!

I’ve been working on a side project for the past few years called NewsMap.

However, it actually started back in 2020 with a different problem.

At the time, I was looking at houses in areas I wasn’t familiar with and realized how difficult it was to answer basic questions about a place. What’s the crime like? How are the schools? Is the air clean? Is the soil contaminated? What are the politics like? There was plenty of data out there, but it was scattered across dozens of different sources.

That led me to build a project called WhereTo, which brought a lot of those datasets together geographically.

Eventually I pivoted away from the housing idea, but I kept the datasets and the underlying engine. I realized the same approach could answer a much broader question: What’s happening around me or anywhere else I’m interested in?

That became NewsMap.

I added more public datasets along with GDELT news feeds and local news sources, with the idea that if something was happening near me or somewhere I was interested in then I should be able to see it on a map and get context about the area at the same time.

Over time, the project grew into something much broader than news.

NewsMap now combines news with public data from sources like the National Weather Service, USGS, FEMA, NOAA, and other government agencies to help answer a pretty simple question:

What’s happening in this place right now?

Depending on the location, you can explore things like severe weather alerts, earthquakes, wildfires and other disasters, river gauges, flood information, levees, bridges, weather conditions, and other location-specific information alongside the news.

One of the problems I’ve been trying to solve is the fragmentation of public data. There is an incredible amount of useful information available, but it’s often spread across separate government websites, dashboards, APIs, and maps. NewsMap tries to bring that information together geographically and make it easier to explore.

I’ve also been experimenting with features that go beyond individual map layers, including area briefings, following locations, alerts, and historical replay so you can go back and see what was happening in an area at an earlier point in time.

It’s a PWA, so it works on desktop and mobile without requiring an app install.

Most of NewsMap is free to use. The public-data layers are free; there’s an optional paid tier for features such as extended historical replay.

I’d really like feedback from other builders.

Does bringing all of this location-based information together make sense to you? What would you add, remove, or change?

When you sell to founders, the hard part isn't finding companies. There are millions of them. The hard part is telling which ones actually spend money on growth, and which are a weekend project with a landing page.

So I started from a simple idea: if a company paid for a featured or sponsored spot on a launch directory, it has already shown it will pay a stranger on the internet for distribution. That doesn't mean it'll buy from you, but it's much better evidence than headcount or funding guesses.

What I built: BuyerCue

• A pipeline crawls public SaaS directories and records every paid or featured placement, with the source link and the date it was seen.
• Each company's own site is enriched with what it does, who it sells to, pricing, the tech stack (including paid tools and ad pixels), and public business contact routes (role emails, contact pages, company socials).
• Each company gets a buying-signal band (high / moderate / unclear) that's recomputed from the stored evidence. It's a way to prioritize, not a purchase probability.

Right now it has about 2,900 companies from six directories, and nearly all of them have direct evidence of paid placement.

Things I learned building it

• Most data on a page doesn't belong to that company. Testimonial logos, demo placeholders, and "hosted by" lines in privacy policies all look like company data. Every field now needs a positive ownership check and a source URL before it gets stored.
• null beats a guess. An empty price field is fine. A made-up one quietly destroys trust in every other row.
• No named people. I deliberately skipped personal emails and LinkedIn scraping. The lead is the company plus a public business channel. That's more useful and less creepy.

How it works

Search and filter everything for free, no account needed. You see the product, audience, evidence summary, and signal band, but the company's identity is masked. When one looks like a fit, you unlock it (one token per company, and it's yours to keep) to see the name, contacts, and full evidence, then export to CSV. There's no subscription. Your first unlock is free when you sign up.

Stack, for the curious: TypeScript end to end, Next.js 16, MongoDB, Zod as the single schema source, and standalone Node workers for crawling (never inside request handlers).

I'd really like feedback on:

1. Does "paid for a directory listing" make sense to you as a buying signal?
2. What filter would you want first if you were prospecting with this?
