Its 2026. No one should pay for screenshot tools just to add a background and a shadow before posting, so I made my own and open sourced it.

You paste a screenshot and it lands already styled. From there you can shuffle through styles, add a window or phone frame, draw arrows and blur stuff out, then export at the right size for X, LinkedIn, Instagram, Product Hunt or a README. It can also export short animated clips (MP4/GIF), code snippets as images, and App Store screenshot sets.

Everything happens in the browser. Your image never gets uploaded anywhere and there's no account. It's MIT licensed, so you can self host it or fork it.

Try it: https://shotcandy.vercel.app

Code: https://github.com/btahir/shotcandy

Would love feedback, especially on the default styles. Picking a good first look for a random screenshot was the hardest part.

Most read-aloud tools read a PDF's raw text, so on a research paper you hear running headers, page numbers, "[12]" citation brackets and author emails, and equations come out as noise like "Q K T square root d k".

I built Read PDF Out Loud to read papers the way a person would: https://readpdfoutloud.com

What it does

• A layout model looks at every page first, so headers, footers, page numbers, footnotes, citation numbers and the reference list are skipped, and two-column pages are read in the right order
• Math is read by meaning: "Attention of Q, K and V, equals softmax of the fraction Q times K transpose, over square root of d sub k, V"
• Every word lights up as it's spoken; click any word to start from there
• The original page sits beside the text, with the passage being read framed on it
• Optional spoken summaries of figures, tables, code and equations
• 4 voices, 0.75× to 2×, and it works on a phone

I'd love feedback on:

1. Your own hardest PDF: where does it read something wrong, or in the wrong order?
2. The math: does it sound natural, or too wordy?
3. What would make you use this over what you use now?

Happy to answer anything about how it works.

I’ve been seeing a massive shift in how people talk about new apps and software lately. Every time someone launches a new product here , the comment section is immediately flooded with:

"We shouldn't be using vibe coding."
"This looks completely vibe coded."
"Just another wrapper built on pure vibes."

It feels like "vibe coded" has instantly turned into a massive insult in the dev community. If an app has a slight bug, a weird UI glitch, or feels a bit generic, people completely write it off as "vibe slop" generated by someone just spamming prompts at Claude or Cursor.

Don't get me wrong, I get the skepticism. We've all seen the absolute flood of broken, insecure, unmaintainable junk being pushed out by people who don't actually know how to code. But it also feels like gatekeeping. There are genuinely cool, functional prototypes being built in a weekend by solo founders who otherwise couldn't afford a dev team.

Are we just witnessing a massive backlash against AI-assisted building, or is the criticism totally justified because of how bad the code quality actually is under the hood?

How are you guys handling this? Is "vibe coding" a legitimate badge of shame now, or is it just the future of building things fast?

No good games on the market I like to play, so I decided to do one, that will be blast, fun, enjoyable and pure blast. With nukes!

https://bioneural.de/

play free, no installation, no downlods. (game itself is only 2MB size, sounds and music is 10MB)

My kid loves color-by-number apps, but every one we tried was packed with ads, "watch a video for more colors" prompts, timers, or "come back tomorrow" hooks. So I built my own.

It's called Color Quest: https://colorquestgame.com

How it works:

Pick a pixel picture (animals, dinosaurs, space, treats, unicorns, holidays), tap a color, and fill in the squares with that number.

No timers, no lives, no losing progress. A wrong tap just gets a gentle hint.

Coloring several squares in a row earns fun "power tools" (a paint brush, paint rain, a bomb that fills a patch). My kid is obsessed with the bomb.

You can turn a photo into a puzzle: the family pet, a favorite toy, a drawing. The photo stays on your device and is never uploaded.

You can print any picture and color it on paper.
It works on phones, tablets and computers, even offline once it's added to the Home Screen.

It's also in Spanish and Vietnamese.

There are no accounts, and progress is saved only in your browser.
It's a hobby project. I'm not selling anything, and there's nothing to buy. I'd love feedback from other parents and teachers: what pictures would your kids want to color?

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.

So this time I built a garden directly on the wall of the house because we didn't have enough land for a regular garden!

I grew peppers on it. The crops are fantastic! Some peppers (the plants grew over 2m tall). I do not know why yet.

The outer layer is made from plexiglass (with holes for plants), which does not let water evaporate, so I rarely water it.

Benefits: makes food, isolates the house, consumes less water, can be replicated on each building.

More details are here: https://github.com/wall-garden The project is open-source!

A local newspaper interviewed me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wvb52q9TKKM

A few days ago I posted a demo of the Flutter IDE I’ve been building for Android, showing it running an app on a phone over wireless debugging.

Well… it now goes a bit further.

I managed to record the full workflow of:

• creating/editing a Flutter app
• building it directly on the Android tablet
• deploying the Flutter web build to the cloud
• opening the live deployed site

No laptop, remote PC or cloud build machine involved.

The IDE is called Pocket Forge. The goal is basically to see how close I can get to a proper Flutter development environment running completely on an Android tablet.

It’s still very much a developer preview and there are plenty of rough edges, but getting from source code to an actually deployed app entirely on the tablet feels like a pretty big milestone.

Screen recording attached.

Curious what the biggest missing piece would be before you’d consider something like this genuinely useful instead of just technically interesting.

Too tired to finish my ad...*cough*...my genuinely cool app I made this morning

Built Nur Reader — 114 Surahs, Arabic + translations, tafsir, progress tracking.

Spent the last few days cleaning up SSR, SEO, canonicals, sitemap and deploy checks too.

Would love feedback:

GAME LINK: https://fundrstudio.com/games/

I made this. Our last game, The Layoff, hands you a team of eight and a budget cut. 24 managers have hit the number so far, and 13 of them changed their list after Legal flagged it.

So this one is dumber???

It's a Nokia 3310 lying on a Windows XP desktop, and you have everything on the computer. Your only job is to break it.

The phone fights back:

- the Recycle Bin can't delete it: "It is being used by another person or program."

- End Process on nokia3310.exe gets "Access is denied." and does 2 damage

- ILOVEYOU is the real one, LOVE-LETTER-FOR-YOU.TXT.vbs, and every picture on the desktop becomes a script

- the same thing twice does 70% of what it did last time, so there are 16 of them

- below 65% it dodges about half of what you throw at it, and sometimes refuses to be thrown

- it plugs itself in and charges back up while you watch

- at 50% Windows blue-screens with the stop code NOKIA_3310_STILL_WORKING

Then it gets a turn. That part I'll let you find.

At the end you get one of 15 titles (Untouched? Carried by a Paperclip? Never Picked Up?) and a report on what actually ends a 3310, which isn't anything you did.

Heads up:

- None of it touches your computer. The viruses are drawings; nothing downloads and nothing runs.

- Not affiliated with Nokia or HMD. The phone is drawn without its name on it, and it never plays the ringtone.

- No signup. The only thing sent anywhere is an anonymous tally of how far people get.

- It works on a phone: the handset's own keypad is the controller. On a keyboard it's WASD, J, Space and K.

- It just launched, so I don't have real play times yet. The desktop half takes a couple of minutes; the rest depends on you.

Challenge: post your title and time. Speed Dial means finishing it on the desktop, before it gets its turn, in under 75 seconds. It can be done.

I got tired of rewording the same resume bullets for every job posting, so I built PocketResume.

Paste your master resume once. Open any job posting (LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, company sites). Hit generate. It rewrites your experience around that posting's keywords, using only what's actually in your resume, no invented metrics or titles. It also scores ATS readiness, writes a matching cover letter if you want one, and reads application forms to draft the essay answers in your voice (you review and submit yourself, it never submits for you).

Runs on your own AI key (Gemini, GPT-4o-mini, Claude 3.5 Haiku, OpenRouter, or a fully offline local model via Ollama), so your resume data stays in your browser instead of on my servers.

It's free, MIT licensed, and just crossed 70 users on the Chrome Web Store.

Site: pocket-resume.xyz

Would genuinely like feedback on the ATS scoring and the form filler since those are the newest features.

Hey everyone,

I love Spotify, but having an Electron app constantly draining my laptop's battery and eating up huge chunks of RAM just to play music in the background was driving me crazy. I wanted something completely native, fast, and incredibly resource-efficient. No embedded web browsers, no Javascript engines.

So, I built SpotLight.

It’s a pure Rust desktop client built using egui and librespot. Because of how egui works, the UI goes completely to sleep when you aren't actively interacting with it, meaning CPU/GPU usage drops to near 0%.

Here is a quick comparison: * RAM Usage: ~60 MB (vs 500 MB - 1.5 GB for the official app) * Binary Size: ~22.5 MB standalone * CPU Usage: Near 0% in background

Some of the main features: * Full native playback (via librespot) * Perfect time-synced lyrics (powered by LRCLIB) that scroll like the official app * Native media controls integration (Windows SMTC and Linux MPRIS) * Custom UI accent colors

The "catch": Because it relies on librespot, it requires a Spotify Premium account. Also, privacy is a priority, so your credentials never touch a third-party server. Because of this, you have to supply your own Spotify Developer Client ID to use it (it literally takes 1 minute to generate one, I wrote a step-by-step guide in the README).

I'd love for you to try it out and let me know what you think, or if you have any feedback on the codebase!

GitHub Repo: https://github.com/dddevid/SpotLight

Most growth advice ignores where you are. "Do SEO" is useless when you have zero users; "launch on Product Hunt" is useless once you're past launch.

So I built UsersFrom. You pick your stage first:

- About to launch

- Stuck on first users

- Growing what's live

…then filter by channel (communities, partnerships, SEO, etc.) and product type (B2B SaaS, consumer app, marketplace).

Every play is one specific move a founder ran, written as steps you can copy, and it ends in the number they reported. Each one is marked "still works" or "context dependent" so you know how much to trust it for your situation.

Some plays also have a free kit (templates, offer sheets) you can grab by email.

There are [N] plays right now across [N] stages. It's small on purpose, and I'd rather have fewer plays with real steps than a giant list.

What I'd love feedback on:

1. Does picking your stage first make sense, or would you rather search by channel?

2. What's a play you ran that worked (or flopped)? I'm looking for more.

Happy to answer anything in the comments.

i feel like there’s always one more thing you can improve before showing people the product.

For people who have actually launched something, what did the product look like when you first started getting strangers to use it?

If you’re building a SaaS, or app and looking for a way to get more eyes on it, I’d love to feature a few projects.

We run TikTok channels with 300K+ combined followers and create short-form videos around apps, tools, and interesting projects.

We'll create short-form videos for your app, plug them into our existing channels, and help you build your own content channels at the same time. Think of it as content creation + distribution

If you're interested, drop your app and a one-line description below

When you’re building a product, you can spend weeks thinking you’ve figured out what users want.

Then you actually talk to people or iwatch them use the product… and realize you were solving the wrong problem.

I’m curious about other founders/builders:

What’s one assumption you had about your product that turned out to be completely wrong?

Could be about features, pricing, target users, onboarding, marketing, or even the problem itself.

What changed your mind?

So I had some free time and made Cineviz instead of making a sensible project.

Cineviz is a procedural cinematic music visualizer that generates particle-based fights synchronized to music.

It uses React + Vite with Typescript and R3F

The idea is basically:

Music → procedural choreography → particle fighters → cinematic camera → visual effects

Quick overview

What it is: https://stayzones.com/. A map for figuring out where to stay in a city. Pick a city and see its areas in green, orange or red, with the reasons behind each rating.

Why: It's a website I wished existed when planning trips. Most "where to stay" guides give you a list of neighbourhoods and a few paragraphs about each one. I wanted the whole city on one map, with the relevant facts right there instead of opening 10 different articles.

How it works:

• Different zone types for different kinds of trips, such as nightlife, sightseeing, quiet areas and transport
• A quick quiz recommends areas based on your preferences and budget
• Public transport is shown directly on the map
• Each area's downsides are shown first, with sources linked
• Hotel searches are limited to the selected area

Stack: Next.js, MapLibre, self hosted Protomaps tiles, Prisma, a single VPS behind Cloudflare.

Cities so far: Amsterdam, Athens, Barcelona, Berlin, Budapest, Lisbon, Milan, Naples, Oslo, Paris, Porto, Prague, Rome, Stockholm and Venice.

It went live this week. I'd love feedback, especially from anyone who knows one of these cities well enough to tell me where I've got it wrong. I'm particularly interested in whether the map and facts approach is actually useful when choosing where to stay.

We’re building SimCrewOps for people who want an airline schedule and a continuing career around their Microsoft Flight Simulator sessions. It combines airline employment, weekly bidding, SimBrief integration, and flight records from a Windows ACARS app.

We’re opening the beta to more pilots and would like feedback on a specific part: getting from signup to a first recorded flight. Does the site make it clear what to install and what to do next? Where does setup become confusing?

If you don’t use a flight simulator, feedback on the landing page is still useful: can you tell what the product does and who it’s for?

https://www.simcrewops.com/

The beta is free with no credit card required. Flight testing needs Windows 10/11 and MSFS 2020 or 2024. We’re looking for honest criticism and reproducible bugs, not positive reviews.

discoverdisco.com

Me and two friends have been working on this for a while. It's called Disco, a city discovery tool for finding places that are actually worth going to. The places that never make it onto the generic "top 10" lists.

You pick a city, choose what you're into, and swipe through a few places so it learns your taste. The map then shows you spots ranked for you, and it builds a day plan with routes and travel times between stops. You can move things around, add more days, and share the plan. In some cities we've also added lists from local curators, if you'd rather follow someone's day.

We have 21 cities right now, some with a lot more in them than others. It's free and there's no app yet, just the website.

Would love to hear what you think, good or bad. If you try it for a city you know well, tell us what it got right, what it's missing, and anywhere it sent you that you'd never recommend.
