Feeling useless as developer

So for a while I've been coding with AI and have been using almost for everything with regards to coding but it's been mostly fixes or smaller features to existing software. This weekend I thought let's use loops and skills to make something from scratch and see how it goes. I selected a project/idea that is now common knowledge (using discord as storage) for this end. I used opus 5 with claude pro subscription and it took around 7-8 hours, excluding the time I slept yesterday. it took around 10...

I built a browser-based tool that can parametrically transform 13,000+ Traditional Chinese glyphs

I started this as a small experiment: What if designing a Traditional Chinese typeface didn’t require editing thousands of glyphs one by one? So I built FANGCUN , a browser-based parametric type design tool for Traditional Chinese. Instead of treating every glyph as an isolated drawing, I’m experimenting with shared skeletons, strokes, components and structural rules. Change a few parameters — weight, contrast, proportions, counters, rounding, stroke characteristics, etc. — and the change...

We got our first repeating order and i think i know why :)

i have been working on this , and we have tested 2 pricing models so far, the subscription model and the one time model, we switched from subscription to one time because we discovered that it was not a fit and that our value is not recurring so we did not want to annoy ourselves with churn, and blah blah blah. we started the one time deals about a month ago and they have been going fantastic, even more than what we made with subs. today we got our first repeating order. same user ordered a...

Build an ai native word/notion alternative

Hi, i build a word/notion alternative with an ai native workflow. Its free, you can plug in your own ai, mcps and skills. The ai can help you continue to write or understand and edit your document directly. And its local so all your data stays on your computer (only on Mac for now). Would be happy if you like to test it out: greenink.app As I'm a solo developer there might be bugs or improvements, would be great if you send me a dm or comment. Of course if you liked it or it wasn't useful....

What’s something most new founders do wrong?

For those who have been through the startup journey, what’s a mistake you see first time founders making all the time? It could be anything from building the wrong product, not talking to enough customers, hiring too early, spending money in the wrong places, focusing too much on fundraising, or just having the wrong mindset. What’s something you personally got wrong when you started that you wish you had known earlier? [link] [c...

My friend group kept fighting over whose referral code to use so I built a site that keeps a fair turn order

Someone in our chat was signing up for Chase. Three of us pasted referral codes at once. It got weird, he googled one instead, and some SEO blog got the $100. So I built Perko. Your friends pool codes in a circle, and when several people have the same company theres a rotation that remembers whose turn it is. It only advances when someone confirms they actually used your code, so you cant game it by clicking your own stuff. Theres also a dumb points shop with a cat you can pet. no defense for ...

I’m building a Git GUI that actually shows you what’s happening under the hood. 👀

You click an action → see the Git command → see what changed. There’s also a Learning Mode for beginners with interactive practice and real Git scenarios. Here’s a quick demo of what I’ve built so far 👇 This is just a quick demo, not the full app. I’ll be adding the rest of the Git commands and more features before the first release. The project will be open source , and I’m hoping we can keep adding to it and turn it into a useful Git tool for everyone. Still early, so I’d love to hea...

I turned Kubernetes practice into a retro terminal game 🎮

[🔊 Sound on for the demo!] I’ve been building Yellow Olive, a side project that lets you learn Kubernetes by actually playing through challenges instead of just reading YAML tutorials. You get missions, work against a real Kubernetes cluster, and the game validates whether you actually solved them. It started as a small experiment because I wanted Kubernetes practice to feel a little less… Kubernetes-y 😅 It’s now grown into multiple chapters covering things like Pods, Services, RBAC, De...

Built a little bar display that sits on top/below of my monitor so I stop missing important stuff behind my windows

So I work as a prop trader and my main screens are always packed with charts and windows. Originally I wanted digital stick notes that always show but not behind my windows and I didnt want another big monitor to take up space. So I built FocusBar. It's a slim bar that sits on top of your monitor and shows live tickers, breaking news, price alerts, reminders, notes, messages and more!!!, right in your line of sight without taking up screen space or much of desk space. It even reads important n...

My Niche SaaS App is Profitable, 1 Month After Launch

I'll get right to it... just over a month after I soft-launched my niche SaaS app, I am profitable. I started building the app at the beginning of 2026 just as an app to help me with a problem that I had. Several months later I got some early validation that the app was actually really cool and solved some real problems. At the end of June, I decided to do a soft-launch of the app into an Alpha. In just over a month, I have reached profitability as you can see from the Stripe screenshots. Ri...

Real-Time Conversational Agents (RTCA) Workshop @ NeurIPS 2026 — submissions now open, deadline Aug 29 AoE [N]

Real-Time Conversational Agents (RTCA) workshop at NeurIPS 2026 (Sydney, Dec 11–12). Submissions are now open on OpenReview. What the workshop is about Conversational AI has crossed into real-time deployment — voice modes, embodied avatars, full-duplex speech agents — but the published record is still dominated by offline benchmarks, and deployed agents still feel robotic (stilted turn-taking, missing backchannels, monotone prosody, awkward interruptions). Methods that work offline (no...

NeurIPS AI Assisted Review authors/reviewers? [D]

Out of curiosity, if you were a reviewer or author, how did the review period go? For me, it was weird, because I gave reviews with specific details (what specifically could have been better, how to fix it), but realized other reviewers gave similar superficial reviews. Even the paper which was a control for me (no LLM), I gave specific comments, but other reviewers focused on minor things. During the discussion period for one paper, one reviewer broke the double blindness condition, and ga...
