I built a daily debate platform where new topics expire every day and the most upvoted arguments win. looking for people to test it

I've been working on argumdebate, a new platform built around short, daily debates. The idea is pretty simple: Every day, new debate topics are published covering things like politics, technology, society, culture, entertainment and other controversial subjects. You choose a topic and share your argument. Other users can read the different opinions and upvote the arguments they think are the strongest, most convincing or interesting. At the end of the day, the topic closes and the argume...

Built an exam prep platform as a side project

Hey folks, I’m an engineer based in Australia, and over the last couple of months I’ve been building a small side project called ExamsNext. The idea was simple: certification prep is still very fragmented. You buy random question banks, PDFs, Udemy courses, notes from Telegram groups, etc. I wanted to build one proper platform where someone preparing for AWS/Azure/security certifications can practise questions, revise with flashcards, take mock exams and track progress. So I built it. Cu...

Transaction dates turned out to be the hardest “simple” feature in a shared finance app

I’m building Ledgerly, an open-source finance app for personal, family, and office-style workspaces. The basic model sounded straightforward: transaction, account, category, amount. Then a real edge case showed up: someone enters a transaction today, but the purchase happened last month. If the app uses entry time instead of occurrence date, reports become misleading. Once shared workspaces are involved, the same record may also need payer/contact context, permissions, claims/approvals, and an...

I created a Bookmarklet Game with approximately voice chat for any website - Metaverse?

Hey! I’ve been building SecondWeb/Web3D.World or the Metaverse?! You drag one bookmarklet into your browser, open any website, and click it. The page becomes a low-poly multiplayer city: DOM elements become landmarks, every URL is its own P2P room, and players can walk, drive and use spatial voice chat. The idea is to turn the internet from pages we consume into places where people meet and make every website a game level waiting to be explored and conquered. It’s still an early prototype,...

What if your phone got progressively more annoying the longer you used it?

I posted Stop Swarm here recently and got a lot of really useful feedback from this community, so I’ve spent the last few days reworking it! The basic idea is still the same: set a daily screen-time goal, and once you get close to it, pixel-art elements gradually invade your screen. It’s an Android app built in Kotlin using a click-through system overlay and a foreground service. Everything stays local on the device: no account, no analytics, and no network connection. Still very much a si...

How do you handle stress ?

I built a physical button for capturing notes without unlocking the iPhone

I’m Ryan, founder of SpeakON. I kept losing thoughts in the few seconds it took to unlock my phone, find an app, and start recording, so I built a hardware-triggered capture flow instead. The video shows the current version: with the iPhone locked, one press starts voice capture and the result is saved as a Note for later. The part I’m still testing is whether a separate physical trigger removes enough friction to justify carrying another object. If you already use the iPhone Action Button o...

I built a website I genuinely hope nobody ever needs

I finally put something I have been thinking about for a long time out into the world. Its called Dear Stranger. The idea is pretty simple, you can anonymously write a letter to a complete stranger, and someone else can come across it when they might need to hear those words. There are no accounts, no followers, no likes, no ads. I didnt want to make another social platform. I wanted it to stay as simple as possible, one person writing something, another person reading it. The actual devel...

After months of averaging 1-2 users per day, one tiny change suddenly brought us 400+ users

My husband and I launched Glance (a full year calendar app, synced with Google) back in April 2025. Growth has been a lot slower than we had hoped, but we haven't spent any money on ads and are only able to dedicate a few hours per week as it's "only" a side project and we're working full-time jobs. Over the past few months we finally got to the point where we were consistently picking up around 1-2 new users a day organically. It wasn't exactly something to write home about, but aft...

We built a salon booking SaaS, but we’re questioning whether the problem is painful enough. What would you change?

My cofounder and I are building a booking SaaS for salons and beauty businesses in Bahrain. The product lets customers book through a dedicated salon link, while the business manages appointments, services, staff and availability in one place. The product works. The harder part has been convincing businesses to change what they already do. We’ve spoken to a lot of local salons. Some already use booking software. Some are mostly walk-ins. But many still manage appointments using Wh...

I made long tasks call your phone the second they finish or get stuck, so you stop babysitting them. 100 signups in 2 weeks.

The itch that made me build this: you start something that takes a while, a big export, a long build, a migration, and then you're trapped. Either you babysit the screen doing nothing for 20 minutes, or you walk away and come back to find it stalled an hour ago waiting on one decision you never saw. So I built Call Me. The moment the job finishes, or the second it's blocked and needs your call, your actual phone rings. A voice tells you what happened, you answer out loud with what to do next, ...

Built an app where you take a photo of any uk property and it tells you what it’s on sale for.

My wife and I love looking at house prices. Every time we walked past a for sale sign we'd stop and look the house up, so I built an app for it. You take a photo of any UK property and it tells you what it's on sale for, or when it last sold and for how much, without having to search for it all yourself. Just a faster way, I thought. Feel like some people might like to use it too, unless me and my wife are just a bit strange, I dunno. It's called PicAHome, it's on the App Store now if anyone...
