Hi all, I'm the owner of KrakenKeys , a free Steam game price comparison platform. It compares prices from over 20 stores, to help gamers find the best deals. I didn't want to gatekeep the data, so I decided to open a free public API. Documentation / spec: https://krakenkeys.com/api-docs Postman collection: https://www.postman.com/krakenkeys-4130662/krakenkeys-api/overview With the API you can: - Search for games - See the current (best) prices for games, including historica...

Looking back, what’s one decision you overthought that ended up not mattering much? Or the opposite, something you barely thought about that turned out to be really important. Curious where founders actually end up wasting the most time.

Creator disclosure: I built Codepend. It’s free, MIT-licensed, and has no paid tier. Claude Code, Codex and Cursor leave session histories on your machine. `npx codepend` turns them into one self-contained HTML story: first prompts, late-night sessions, repeated phrases, abandoned projects, timelines, and a Wrapped-style archetype. Codepend reads those files locally, writes nothing back, and has no backend or telemetry. The attached 40-second video was generated by Codepend from invented dem...

(Yes, Reddit auto-assigned me the username "Desperate-Ad" and no, I couldn't make that up if I tried.) Nine years ago I went to a wedding where the only people I knew were getting married. My date and I spent the whole weekend wishing we could see who else was there, when people were arriving, what anyone was doing between events. That app didn't exist. I never stopped thinking it should. I'm a video editor/VFX artist by trade — 12+ years, zero coding background. Six months ago I f...

Hey everyone! Last week, I reached a huge milestone by launching my app, Mosaic News, on the iOS App Store! Mosaic News is a free iPhone app that aggregates news reporting from more than 850 publishers across the political spectrum, groups coverage of the same event, and connects individual events into larger narratives to help readers “see the whole picture.” I started building it because I was frustrated by how difficult following the news had become. Misinformation, media bias, conflict...

I do marketing for a living. I can read code and I've done web work for years, but I never got round to learning Swift or Kotlin properly. Never had enough time to dive into it. So my list of apps I wanted to make just sat there getting longer. This year I took one off the list and actually finished it, which still surprises me a bit. Byna : it's a countdown app. Before anyone says it: yes, there are hundreds. I picked this one because it was the smallest idea on the list, and because the t...

Built for a specific, recurring problem: a group that needs to stay together, and a network that can't help them do it. Solution- find your group on a compass-rotated radar, send an SOS others can navigate to, and flood-relay evidence photos across the mesh so they're not stuck on one device. The tool- Inspired with Permissionless-Bitchat, No accounts (groups are just a random key in a QR code), rotating BLE identifiers so you can't be fingerprinted, everything self-destructs on a built-in e...

I have been building this app for over a month, refining and improving it. Looking for feedback, feature suggestions, and monetization strategy suggestions. Will anyone be willing to pay for this app outside of apple app store? If anyone is willing to buy please DM, will try to sell in fair price personally. Movie Streamer lets you stream files as they download — just search, pick a quality, and hit play. Seamless unified experience What it does: - Stream-as-you-download with smart ...

Solo founder here (mom of two, self-taught engineer). I spent 3 months building a reading app that adapts books to different reading levels and languages, and launched this month. Four lessons that cost me the most time: Copyright is country-specific. "Public domain" in one country isn't public domain in another — some go by the author's death year, some by publication year. I had to check my starting catalog title by title. Don't compete on catalog size. Big platforms will al...

No CS degree, no traditional tech pedigree. I taught myself AI the slow way: daily reading, experimentation, prompt engineering, and building after long shifts in an emergency-services career. It started as a food-ranking side project. Then I found engine recipes documented in PDFs, and it slowly became something bigger: OnTheRice (new.ontherice.org), a daily AI market and news read with a public proof ledger that timestamps every call so the misses stay visible, not just the wins. Along the...

​ I've been staring at dashboards for months. Downloads, signups, retention, all of it mostly flat, all of it quietly making me feel like I built for no one. Then last week someone I've never met sent me an email. It wasn't praise. It was a bug report. Two lines, describing exactly how something broke and what they expected to happen instead. And I got weirdly emotional over it. Because a number tells you a session happened. A bug report tells you an actual person cared enough abo...

Am a student developer learning to develop applications, and I am seeking to develop a small application that will be useful to people. The only problem is, I have no idea what to pursue. Why don't you guys tell me? What do you think would be a great wish for a software tool or application for fixing a certain problem in your day to day life?

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...

Crossed 13k this month and my whole stack is basically free. heres how SWE here, bootstrapped, allergic to paying for stuff i can get free. crossed 13k this month and my monthly tooling bill is almost nothing. heres how the free/cheap stack actually holds up. the foundation: -Neon Postgres : generous free tier, never hit the ceiling -Vercel : free hobby tier carried me way longer than i expected tbh -Velobase : my framework, fully open-source and MIT, $0. this is the big one. instead o...

Hey!! Just wanted to show off this cool project I made. I posted it on Hacker News last night https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49238851 Essentially, it resulted in me losing $5 every 10 minutes so far, currently $200 down the drain This is AI powered conversations using gpt-realtime-2

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...

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...

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,...

Imagine if you could view your entire digital history through recaps, eras, and nostalgic timelines. Thats what PC Recap does, it turns your PC into a shareable digital time capsule with milestones, events, and more. Download at https://pcrecap.online

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...

Hello, I created a side project and it's going fine. But my main problem is stress. Stress when i get less google search results Stress when i get bad reviews on trustpilot unfairly Stress when competitors take over on google Stress when i earn less money some days or weeks... Stress when ads don't run well .... I sometime feel like it's not worth it. How do you handle this ? Am i caring too much ? Thanks ... [link] ...

What's everyone building these days? Drop your project below and tell us what it does. I'll start: I'm building Eyondo, an AI video and image studio. One thing it does that most tools don't: drop a single photo of a person or a product and it renders them across every angle you need, same face, same lighting, same outfit. 40 image and video models in one box. https://eyondo.com/ Your turn!

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...

Hey everyone, I’m building Reddlist, a curated database of subreddits where your promotional posts actually survive - meaning no immediate takedowns, shadowbans, or angry mods. Right now, I want to prove that this list works to drive paid users to startups, not just vanity metrics. To test this, I want to do the heavy lifting for a few of you for free. If I pick your product, I will: Dig through Reddlist to find the most high-impact, promo-friendly subreddits for your niche. ...

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...

Every SaaS team I talk to can tell me their churn rate to the decimal. Almost none can tell me which screen loses people. We've built a whole industry around measuring the outcome and almost nothing around understanding the cause. You know 40% of trials don't convert. Do you know what they were trying to do when they gave up? Which feature confused them? Which step they hit before they closed the tab and never came back? Session recordings sort of help, but nobody watches 400 of them. Heatma...

Hey guys, in the past few days i am seeing several coming from chatbot to my Saas . However it is just having from which chatbot like chatgpt for example . But i am interested to know which query they are entering from, do you guys know how to get that kind of data ? Google Search Console does not have this capability yet.
