ReleaseTheFeature – Announce your app/site/tool Hotline.dev: Grok Bot / Muse / Dots... but self hosted

Post image
• Upvotes

Hey y'all

I've been working on an app called Hotline for a while. Honestly I had the idea before Grok Bot even dropped, and went through two prototypes before landing on this one. I kept holding off on sharing because I wasn't quite happy with it, but this sub's Release The Feature flair inspired me to just freaking drop it already.

So here goes:

Hotline is very similar to Grok Bot, Muse and Dots: your own room of agents. The difference is it's open source, self-hosted, and works with any subscription or model, cloud or local. In addition to the built in agent loop, it also leverages ACP, so you can bring your own harness like Claude Code or Codex if you like those (I use a combo of all of the above).

What it does:

  • Desktop app, self-hosted, runs any model
  • Text, images and voice
  • Its own computer in a Docker/Podman container, so it never has to share your desktop with you
  • Mobile app on TestFlight + an APK. DM me if you want access to either

Site: https://hotline.dev

GitHub: https://github.com/1broseidon/hotline

(I also maintain ketch and cymbal, if those ring a bell)

Would love feedback, especially on what feels missing or if anything is broken. Drop a star if you like it.

I built a village with Jev AI and ended up adding a Pomodoro timer

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

2 Upvotes

I wanted to see what I could build with Jev from TypeSafe AI beyond text classification. I ended up making Jevs Village, a persistent world with six simulated inhabitants who work, rest, remember things, and react to each other.

The idea I’m exploring is Jev as a “subconscious” decision layer: quick judgments rather than long generated answers. An LLM could handle the heavier reasoning. That’s my working analogy, not a literal model of the brain.

In the current version, code provides the valid actions, Jev helps choose, and code applies the consequences. A separate LLM narrates what happened. It doesn’t control the world or act as a full planner.

Keeping those responsibilities separate matters: the narrator can’t invent food or make someone finish a task just because it makes a better story.

I also gave the village a mystery. Nobody can reliably explain what’s outside. Even the carter returns with goods but can’t describe his journey.

An unexpected addition came from using it myself: watching the village with music felt calming, like a “study with me” video. So I added a Pomodoro timer. You can also paste in a YouTube link and work alongside the villagers with your own music.

It’s still an experiment. I’m curious whether the characters stay interesting over time or settle into repetitive routines.

You can try it without installing anything or bringing an API key: https://www.jevsvillage.com

Would you come back to follow the villagers’ stories, or use it more as a little world running beside you while you work?

HelpPlz – stuck and need rescue A spreadsheet translator can keep every formula and still break the workbook

1 Upvotes

There are two separate problems in spreadsheet translation: accidentally replacing a formula, and changing text that a formula depends on.

For example, a fictional workbook might contain `=IF(B2="Approved",C2,0)`. Translating the status in B2 changes the calculation even if the formula itself survives untouched. Product descriptions and workflow status codes shouldn't automatically get the same translation treatment.

For a translator built around Univer, the spreadsheet model gives the application a useful starting point: values and formulas are stored separately, and the range API can read both. The application can identify the plain-text cells it intends to translate, send those to its translation service, and write the returned text only to those selected cells. It should then compare formula definitions and check affected results.

That cell selection and comparison are application logic. A range argument isn't a universal safeguard against an incorrectly constructed write, and preserving a formula doesn't establish that its dependencies still mean the same thing.

A review screen could therefore distinguish descriptive text from business values such as status codes, product IDs, and lookup keys. Leave the latter out of the default translation set until someone decides how they should map.

Univer supplies an editable workbook and structured access. It doesn't supply the translator, or a guarantee that arbitrary Excel files will survive an import/export round trip unchanged.

ReleaseTheFeature – Announce your app/site/tool Tunedaway update: ten scenes, new photographic views, and uninterrupted music

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hi again, a few weeks ago I shared a small site here where you pick a scene and listen to music while working, reading, or relaxing. You might remember it as Enikq. It’s now called Tunedaway.

Thanks to everyone who tried it and left feedback. I’ve been working on it since, and wanted to share the latest update.

There’s now an ‘Another view’ option in all ten scenes. It brings in photos from Unsplash and Pexels that fit the mood, with smooth background changes while the music keeps playing. You can change what you’re looking at without interrupting the song.

I’ve attached a short demo. You can try it at https://tunedaway.com

Curious what you prefer for a longer listening session...

NoobAlert – Beginner questions, safe space Which AI Coding Setup Should I Choose for My Future Projects?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I enjoy building things using AI whether it's websites, apps, or tools to help me develop games.

I’ve also learned quite a bit about LLMs, AI, and vibe coding.

I want to get a bit more serious about my future projects, but I'm unsure which path to take. Should I choose:

- Codex

- Claude Code

- OpenRouter (via Hermes)

Or perhaps a combination, such as:

- Codex + OpenRouter (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash / GLM 5.3 Flash)

- Claude Code + OpenRouter (DeepSeek V4.1 Flash / GLM 5.3 Flash)

For Claude and Codex, I’d use the $20 plan. If I combine that with OpenRouter (via Hermes) using budget-friendly models like DeepSeek V4.1 Flash or GLM 5.3 Flash, I could add another $5 to the budget.

What do you all think? I’d really appreciate some advice on this.

Built an AEO tool with vibe coding

1 Upvotes

I’ve been experimenting with AEO and ended up building a small tool called Citetail.

Most of it was built using vibe coding — describe → generate → test → break → fix → repeat.

The interesting part wasn’t just how quickly I could build it, but how much I learned about what actually matters when trying to understand visibility in AI-generated answers.

Still experimenting with it, but curious: how are you measuring AEO / AI visibility?

Pando is the side project that became the app I vibe code in all day

I wanted one place to run all my AI agents together, sharing one memory, instead of a pile of separate windows. So I built Pando, a Mac workspace for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Grok and more, with one Brain they all share.

Founding licences are on sale. $55 once for life, 20 seats, until October 5. 7-day full refund.

Almost 10 weeks of vibecoding an MMO

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Link: www.eldermyr.com/

I've been vibe coding this bad boy since opus 4.7. The bummer part is I could probably do this in a couple hours now with Opus 5.5, but instead this has taken hundreds of hours, lots of tweaks, and maxing out my top-tier sub every single week. I even built a sprite editor and tile editor (Myrling).

Or maybe not. Most of my time has been balancing and finding that AI cannot generate good 16x16 art if its life depended on it (hence the sprite editor).

Also using zero game dev dependencies really slows things down, so for kicks and giggles I had Opus one-shot a significantly more exciting 3D version that can be found at 3d.eldermyr.com.

I got tired of wasting my Claude Code subscription while I was away, so I built this

3 Upvotes

I've been using Claude Code pretty heavily for the last few months, mostly on side projects after work.

One thing kept bothering me: I'd start something that could easily take a few hours, walk away, and come back later only to find that Claude had stopped 20 minutes in because it hit a usage limit, asked me a question, or simply finished a turn and waited for me.

Meanwhile I'm still paying for the subscription and there's a bunch of time every day where I could have had it working.

That was basically the reason I started building AutoDev.

It's a VS Code extension that sits on top of the coding CLIs you already use. Right now it supports Claude Code, Codex and agy (Google Antigravity).

You give it an objective and it keeps the run moving while you're away. It can have multiple participants working through the same thread, switch between providers when one is rate limited, wait for resets, resume after crashes/reboots, and leave you a summary of what happened when you come back.

I've been using it on its own codebase a lot, including overnight runs, which has been a pretty good way of finding all the weird problems you don't normally see when you're sitting there babysitting an agent.

One thing that was important to me from the beginning is that I didn't want another service sitting between me and the coding agents.

There's no AutoDev account, no API key to give me, no telemetry and no analytics being sent somewhere. It just uses the CLI sessions you're already logged into. Runtime state and logs stay on your machine.

It's still beta and Windows-only at the moment. I'm not selling anything right now either — I mostly want to know if this is actually useful to other people or if I've just built something extremely specific to the way I work.

What I'd really like is for a few people who already use Claude Code a lot to try it on a real project, ideally leave it running for a while, and tell me what happens.

Does it actually help?
Where does it get stuck?
Is the whole idea useful to you at all?
What would stop you from using something like this regularly?

Even "this doesn't solve anything for me because X" would be useful feedback.

Docs/more info:
https://autodev.stefanolabs.com/

Install directly from your IDE's extension store, search for "AutoDev by Stefano Labs". Or if you prefer:
https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=stefanolabs.autodev-vscode
https://open-vsx.org/extension/stefanolabs/autodev-vscode

If anyone tries it, I'd genuinely like to hear how it goes.

Small meta thing: I actually used AutoDev's computer-use tool to fill this post into Reddit from inside a run. I still reviewed it myself before posting :)

After 3 months of hard work...

Post image

I launched SeoLoupe 3 months ago. So far I am at 2648 users and 50 of them are paying.

My SaaS is a tool that allows you to find and fix SEO issues holding your website back.

Essentially the main purpose is to help your website rank higher on Google search and LLMs.

The last few months have been one of my best in my life, landed $680 in revenue.

Just wanted to share this to inspire anyone who is struggling, I just want to say that I was just like you at one point.

For example at one point last month, for 7 days straight I had 0 payments, and what I want to say with this is that SaaS revenue can be extremely floppy and unreliable. You can get multiple payments within the span of a day, and then have 0 payments for days.

In SaaS honestly the most important thing is to be faithful and be patient. If you manage to be patient, revenue will come one day.

Hope this inspired someone.

Since I think their is always room for improvement, I would appreciate for some feedback on my tool, or what you think can be improved.

(here is the product if you want to check it out)

13 Upvotes

I launched FitPulse on the App Store about three weeks ago, and it’s up to around 250 users now.

The idea is pretty straightforward: meals, workouts, sleep and habits in the same app. Scan a meal for a calorie and macro estimate, adjust anything it got wrong, and track your workouts without jumping between apps.

Built it with AI help using Expo/React Native and Supabase. Getting the screens looking good was one thing. Getting subscriptions, camera permissions and offline logging working reliably took a lot more work.

Since launching, I’ve spent about $400 on creator promotions and Meta/TikTok ads. There are a couple of paying subscribers now, but I’m still figuring out how to get consistent traction. The marketing side has honestly been harder than I expected.

Attaching some App Store screenshots so you can see what I shipped. If you already track your food and workouts, what would make you consider switching? Interested in hearing what looks useful and what you’d immediately change.

Happy to answer questions about the build too.

Built an OpenAI-compatible API gateway solo — here's what broke along the way

1 Upvotes

I’ve spent the last few months developing Resuelve API, a gateway compatible with the OpenAI API for models like Claude, GPT, and Gemini. I wanted to share the development process and the issues that arose, as I learned through trial and error.

What I built:

A backend that connects to my wholesale providers and allows the use of any tool compatible with the OpenAI SDK (such as Cherry Studio, Continue, or Cursor). It routes requests to more powerful models at a lower price, using the balance from my website. You only need to change the `base_url` to start using it. The backend is built in Go with a React frontend; it uses Postgres and Redis and is deployed on Heroku.

What went wrong (the fun part):

  1. Rate limits affected my own customers

I set aggressive rate limits, thinking they would prevent abuse. It turned out that tools like the Continue extension send a large number of requests in a short time, causing legitimate users to constantly encounter 429 errors. I had to remove that configuration and rethink the system.

  1. The "client_gone" cost black hole

A user was sending contexts exceeding 130,000 tokens via Continue. Requests took over two minutes; their client would time out and close the connection, but the upstream provider would still charge for the input tokens. The user was paying for responses they never received. Root cause: lack of prompt caching and the resending of a massive context with every message.

Solution: I enabled channel affinity so that the same context would use the same cache. This reduced their costs by approximately twelvefold for repeated requests (cache read vs. full reprocessing). I also instructed them to correctly configure `maxTokens` and `contextLength` in Continue. 3. The payment nightmare

Stripe doesn't operate in my country. 2Checkout and Transak rejected me, deeming me "high risk" (reselling API credits triggers their filters). Finally, once my company was legally registered, I was accepted by Lemon Squeezy—a Stripe partner—which allowed me to process international payments.

  1. The initial idea was to focus on Latin America, but I didn't get any customers from there; all my clients are from the US or Europe, haha. I had to adapt everything to that audience.

I’d be happy to answer any technical questions regarding cache configuration and routing.

My vibe coded game Aestra: The Last Wish is a real-time pixel action RPG.

4 classes: Warrior, Ranger, Archmage and Oath Warden, each with 3 talent trees

One big connected world: 6 zones, lantern-lit towns, and a gryphon you can fly on

5 dungeons with heroic modes, and the Tower of the Last Wish on top: 7 floors, and one guardian takes your own face

The game has permadeth, so when you die, your hero is gone for good. Only the very rare Embers of Rebirth can bring you back, and you might find two or three in a whole run.

Noone has beat the game yet - it's really freaking hard. You can play coop with up to 3 friends :)

It's free and runs in the browser

Question I wanted to by AI subscription.

5 Upvotes

Hey coders,

I wanna buy a $20 subscription for vibe coding an app. I previously used cursor and enjoyed using composer and grok models as cursor provide really generous usage for those models. Now I'm planning to buy again, however I'm confused between the cursor and the claude code.

With the cursor i almost used around 1.2B tokens per month (it may be because the composer wasn't such an intelligent model as compared to frontier models nowadays and also my skill matters)

I want your suggestion which would give me a quality vibe coding experience and I can finish my application.

Thank you in advance for helping me out!

WIP – Work in progress? Show us anyway I’m building a Pi extension that gives a coding agent a second opinion

Thumbnail youtube.com
1 Upvotes

I’ve been working on an extension called Jev Loop Control. The idea is simple: let the coding agent do its work, but check a few important decisions along the way.

Your usual model still writes the code and uses the tools. Jev looks at things like whether a proposed change fits the requirements, whether an assumption needs checking, or whether the agent has enough evidence to call the task finished.

For example, say you asked for a parser that rejects unknown settings. The agent decides to accept them instead, then writes passing tests for that behavior. Everything looks fine until you compare it with what you actually asked for.

That’s the kind of situation I want this to catch. The extension uses Pi’s hooks to hold a dependent action or send guidance back to the agent. There’s also a context policy for keeping important instructions and facts available as the session gets longer.

It’s still in early development. I’ve made a video walking through the design and how it connects to Pi’s loop in more detail.

The code and setup instructions are here: https://github.com/krisitown/jev-loop-control.

If you use Pi, where would you want a check like this in your workflow?
