I made free geo guessr but for colors: ColorGuessr!

I made ColorGuessr , a small iOS game where you try to find a target color on a color wheel. The closer you get, the more points you score. I shared an early version here a while ago and got a lot of useful feedback, so a big thank you for all of you! Since then I’ve added: New game modes Name That Color , where you guess the color based on its name Blitz , faster rounds with streak boosts Live multiplayer with friends and random players Public leaderboards New menu a...

Built a simple invoice generating tool :)

One year ago I was searching for a simple invoice generating tool, since I didn't have that many invoices I didn't need a big tool, just something simple, free and with no ads and I couldn't find one at the time, so I built one. I was using it for myself but then I decided to share it on the internet and after one year it is getting 1k monthly users who are generating invoices. Since it started getting users I have made some changes since launch and also added some features requested by users. ...

I analyzed 10,000 app reviews for a portfolio project and accidentally found a bigger problem

Hey everyone, I started building a simple ML portfolio project. The idea was to analyze Google Play Store reviews, run sentiment analysis, build a dashboard, and move on. After going through 10,000+ reviews, I noticed something unexpected. The same complaints kept showing up everywhere: Crashes Bugs Performance issues Reliability problems What got my attention wasn't the complaints themselves. It was how hard it was to make sense of all that feedback and identify what act...

How would you get the first 100 beta users for an email marketing SaaS?

I'm a solo founder and recently launched Scubamail , an email marketing platform focused on startups, creators, and small businesses. The product is live, emails are sending, automation works, and I've started onboarding a few early users. Now I'm facing a challenge that many founders probably know well: How do you get the first 100 beta users when nobody knows you exist?

21yo dropping out of Oxford for an AI startup talks about when a project crosses from "thing I'm building" to "thing I have to commit to"

Watched an interview today with a 21-year-old leaving Oxford (Lincoln College, maths) to focus full-time on an AI startup. The interview is the dropout story, but the bit that matters for this sub is the moment of commitment. He talks about the inflection point where the thing you're working on stops fitting around the rest of your life. Not because it's getting bigger, but because the world is moving fast enough that part-time effort means you miss the window. He frames the dropout not as &...

After 7 months of GRINDING... I finally hit 1k in earnings!

This is just so incredible... I honestly never thought this was possible for me. But I did the thing... I JUST STARTED! I put together a working MVP. Just the bare minimum functionality. Bought a domain and put it out there. I posted about it here on Reddit and got in contact with the people who commented and started using it. I followed a simple concept that just came to me naturally: put out what you have post about it listen to feedback in the comments implement the feedback a...

I kept losing my Earbuds, so I built a Bluetooth tracker app and eventually released it on the App Store

This started as a personal project. I was constantly misplacing my AirPods, smartwatch, and other Bluetooth devices around the house. I'd spend way too much time walking around trying to figure out where they were. I tried a few Bluetooth finder apps, but none worked quite the way I wanted, so I decided to build my own. The app scans for nearby Bluetooth devices and uses signal strength to help determine whether you're getting closer to or farther from a device. Over time I kept adding fea...

Drop your startup URL or ICP and I’ll check if Reddit has demand for it

I did this a few days ago with startup URLs and got way more replies than expected. Now I improved the report and it also works with ICPs. Drop your: - startup URL - app idea - ICP - niche - or problem you want to solve I’ll check if Reddit already has people talking about that problem, asking for tools, or showing buying intent. I’ll reply with a short public summary. If there’s enough signal, I’ll create a private report link with the full breakdown. submitted by &#32...

Made my first money from my own app this week, and it feels way better than my salary

Quick bit of background. I am a CS student and I have been building apps since high school, back in the pre ChatGPT days. Nothing big, just some basic stuff. It started during Covid when I suddenly had way too much time on my hands, and I always dreamed of having my own app on the Play Store. It took me a couple of months and the final product was honestly kind of bad, but I did not care at all. I was just so proud that I had built something new with nothing but my laptop (and Stack Overflow obv...

I started a small side project to stop my own last-minute gift panic. Then I got laid off. Now I want to up the ante and turn it into something real.

A while ago I started a project to help me keep track of my wife’s wishlist, so that whenever her birthday or our anniversary rolls around, I could pull it out, see what she’s been talking about, and avoid analysis paralysis. Originally, it was just a tiny mini-site to help me track the ideas and play around with some UI layouts. But right in the middle of tinkering with it, I unfortunately got laid off from my job. Instead of letting the job-search anxiety and doom-scrolling take over, I deci...

I built a TV/movie tracking app that's actually nice to look at and completely free

I track a lot of shows, and I wanted an app that was genuinely beautiful and didn't lock things behind a paywall or bury them in ads, so I built this and named it StillWatching. Some bits I'm happy with: you can filter shows by streaming platform, find movie tickets straight from a film's page, react to episodes with GIFs, and there's a Home Screen widget for whatever you're up next on. Discover by decade and genre too. Honestly part of what pushed me here was that my old tracker (TV Time, w...

It turns local projects into clickable dock apps, so they feel like normal applications on your machine. Click the icon and it launches. It'...

I built a chess app for my dad. He still hasn't opened the link.

My dad is the reason I ever touched a computer - 'Prince of Persia' on a CRT monitor at his office, thirty-five years ago. Now I build interfaces for a living, and he still calls me when ads pop up on his phone. When I moved from Romania to Spain, I wanted to keep one thing going: our chess games. Chess.com felt too complex for him, so I built something simpler. One link, he clicks it, we play. No account, no onboarding. I sent him the link on WhatsApp in April. His reply: "I went to th...

I’ve always enjoyed idle RPG and auto battler games. I’ve spent quite a lot of time in different projects in this genre because they don’t require much time or attention.
