Hey everyone, I recently launched a small Android app called Mavora, built around a strange but simple idea: your phone battery percentage can become a temporary social signal. If your phone is at 42%, the app can show other anonymous users who are also around the same battery level. You can send them a signal request, and if they accept, a private anonymous chat opens. The idea is not to make another dating app or location-based social app. I wanted it to feel more like ambient anonymous ...

I built a terminal-based YouTube video player that renders videos as ASCII art in real time. To make this work, I also built a reusable image-to-ASCII rendering engine as a separate Rust crate, which the player uses to convert video frames into ASCII and stream them to stdout with basic FPS control. Projects: ASCII engine (Rust crate): https://github.com/SameerVers3/pixel2ascii Terminal YouTube player: https://github.com/SameerVers3/stdout-tv It’s mainly an experiment, but I’d ...

been building this solo for the last few weeks. it's called Segue. the idea: your music should react to your game instead of you alt-tabbing to manage it. it auto-lowers your music when game dialogue plays (real speech detection, not a timer), then brings it back. it does the same for Discord, ducking your music when your friends talk so you can talk without the music being in the way. you can also control everything from your controller, swipe the DualSense touchpad for volume, swipe to ski...

It lets you connect any two topics and see the path between them, along with a short story of how they’re linked. You can also add a stop in between if you want it to route through a specific topic. In the video: I connect Albert Einstein with Cristiano Ronaldo and it shows the full path and story Then I use “Surprise Me” and it connects Cleopatra with Coca-Cola Along with this, there are other sections like: Atlas — a collection of interesting and surprising connections Pas...

Scroll social media? Read a book?

I’ve posted about my weather game occasionally here on Reddit over the last month, and almost universally it’s been ignored or downvoted. A few honest and helpful feedback reviews have come through, but by and large it’s not been a great experience. I have a pretty decent LinkedIn connection pool from my 20+ years of being in technology, so I figured I’d try there to get some early feedback and users from there. It’s been so refreshing! And it’s not just “friends and family” on there. I’ve ...

Hey r/SideProject, I built ChromiumFish , a fingerprint-hardened Chrome with drop-in Playwright support for Python and Node, and built-in AI Agent support at the C++ level. I know most of you are gonna smell the chromium, but rest assured, this fork tries its best to pretend like a Chrome running on a Windows machine. The reason I built this is that when you are running your browser on a Linux machine, there are lots of telltale signs that it's a Chrome running on Linux. That's what I tri...

Made this small prototype with Godot + GDScript in 1 evening. Everything is generated procedurally (bcause I'm suck at 3D modeling). Took some graphical decisions from my previous project (like colors and "effects").

People around me keep telling me about cool stuff they built but it often ends at that, so I built /brag, a skill that helps people actually show what they made. /brag lets you brag about what you built by simply telling Claude "hey, let's /brag about this." Under the hood it uses HyperFrames (HeyGen's open-source HTML-to-video engine) to render a short, ~20-second launch video, complete with music and sound effects, that's easy to share. It's free and open source, has several styl...

In India, when someone goes missing, the police record is in one place. When an unidentified body is found, that record is in another place. These two lists never meet. They sit in different states, different police systems, none of them connected. So a family looking for their missing person has nowhere to check if an unidentified body somewhere else could be them. A match that should happen, just... doesn't. I made JSKMU to connect these two sides. A family adds their missing person. T...

One of my favorite things about this subreddit is seeing projects that deserve more attention than they get. Recently I’ve been learning how to create short-form video content and experimenting with ways to explain products quickly and clearly. If you have a side project, app, tool, or website, drop it below. I’m looking for a few interesting projects to use as examples while testing different content formats and documenting what works. [link...

Quick background: I play tennis [a very little bit], and the thing that always bugged me is you finish a match with a feeling but no information. The good rally, the footwork that fell apart in the third set, all gone. Pros have analysts. The rest of us have memory. So my co-founder and I built Wingball. You record your session the normal way and upload the clip to our webapp. It tracks every shot, cuts an auto highlight reel, and gives you a court heatmap plus stats like distance covered, to...

Hi everyone! I just launched my first website/side project and would love some honest feedback. I have pretty bad ADHD, and I’ve always had this pattern where one simple thought turns into a whole trail of connected topics. I might start with a movie, a weird historical fact, or a random question, and somehow end up reading about mythology, philosophy, psychology, or theoretical physics. Traditional advanced learning never clicked very well for me, but curiosity-based learning always did. ...

Been a data engineer for 4 years. Every time I join a new project, I waste hours understanding what tables actually mean. Built a CLI tool that analyzes BigQuery tables and explains the business context using AI. Demo: https://www.loom.com/share/af3409be37fa4692bb38b63b9f4a58cc Happy to share the GitHub link in comments.

Back in 2016, waking up to your own photos basically wasn't a thing on Android - so I built it. A photo-based alarm clock, one of the early ones on the platform. It picked up around 10,000 downloads and a bunch of reviews from people who loved waking up to their own pictures instead of a stock ringtone. Then life happened - burnout, a day job - and in 2021 I unpublished it and walked away. It nagged at me for years, so a few months ago I opened the old project. It did NOT survive the decade:...

https://dialectic.neonflume.com/ A lot of journaling apps either feel like blank documents or try to act like therapists. I wanted something in between. Instead of simply asking "How was your day?", it actively engages with your thoughts using guided questioning inspired by CBT and Socratic dialogue. For example, if you write: "I messed up a presentation today. I'm terrible at my job." It won't just store the entry. It may ask questions like: What evidence su...

I'm a builder, 15 years in product + tech. I know what I should do, I just can't start, and the evening disappears into scrolling. The idea: once a day you get one tiny nudge to do a small thing, small enough that starting is basically impossible to fail. Stand outside two minutes. Open the task you've been avoiding. Put one mug away. You reply DONE or SKIP. This is anti social media and usual dopamine addiction, there will never be a friend system, no streak, no scrolling behaviour. Before ...

Hey r/SideProject , I wanted a coding platform where the game mechanics were actually tied to the code logic and optimization, not just arbitrary XP points. So over the last 18 months, I’ve been solo-developing CodeGrind.online . The Tech & Build: Instead of using a heavy game engine like Godot or Unity, I built the entire thing using standard React and a raw HTML5 Canvas engine . It’s completely vanilla JS (no TypeScript for this one, keeping the canvas rendering pipeline as stre...

I use Claude Code all day, and the only thing that ever comes out of all those tokens is a number going up in a billing dashboard. Felt like a waste of a perfectly good signal, so I made something fun with it. It's called Tokengotchi, basically a Tamagotchi that eats your tokens. You run one command, it reads your local usage logs (same files ccusage reads, nothing leaves your machine), and a tiny hero turns that usage into "energy" and auto-battles through an idle dungeon while yo...

​Hey everyone, ​I’m a self-employed electronics and communications technician. I've been building this project out because I got sick of the current state of web utilities. Every time I needed a basic digital tool like stripping audio from a video, downsizing an image, or changing file types and formats, I kept hitting forced logins, hidden monthly subscriptions, or the realization that my data was being processed on someone else's backend. ​So I built Riyo Studio to solve my own problem. ...

All right, I’ve read ten articles on this and I still don’t think I understand it. I have a small project to scrape product prices from some sites. Nothing crazy, just e-commerce stuff. someone told me i need residential proxies but they're like 5x the price of datacenter and i don't understand why i would need them for something this basic Like, what actually happens if i just use datacenter? Will I be blocked right away or is it fine for most normal sites? And what the hell is an ISP proxy? ...

So as the title says, i built one and i need brutal and honest feedback as the AI always says things like "It is awesome", "it is very good as your first website" and all this shit. ​ Website is: ​ nutoolz.com ​ It is a generic website doing generic shit and I want to earn some pennies with it.

I tend to spend hours comparing options before making a choice — jobs, purchases, projects, moving, almost everything. So I built a simple tool that forces me to structure the decision instead of endlessly going back and forth in my head. Helped me personally so I figured I'd share it. Has anyone else struggled with decision paralysis? How do you deal with it? Name : JustPickr

So I wanted to focus on making a product that would bring positivity to the world. I’ve always enjoyed writing personal birthday cards for friends and family and felt that with new AI tools that we have today we now have the power to make really personal and special web pages for the people we love. It started out as an idea to create funny, personal pages for Father’s Day, and everyone in my family loved it. I’ve added birthdays, graduations, anniversaries now. It’s called https://pizzazz.ap...

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/facet-ai-skin-scan-coach/id6778689288 And no, this is not something I vibecoded in a few days. I genuinely put a lot of effort into this and was an opportunity for me to learn about on boarding ASO and shipping (and now trying to learn marketing lol). It started as a simple exercise for me to try out as I was getting into swift but then became a fully deployed app after I realised this could be a useful app for most people. You can get your face scored and you wi...

Why I made it. After having lots of portable games cluttering my desktop aswell as too many NSFW games my kids and family probably wouldnt like to see, i decided to create a launcher that can sort games into categories, and put a PIN code on categories so that games stays invisible until PIN is entered. Also support mixed bag of games — some Steam, some Epic, GOG, and many more. The ability to import all games from other launcher into NEO-LIB. Nothing on the market did all three: -Hide ...

I'm 16 and I built this extension to highlight financial awareness in communities and it works by scraping articles and then normalizing them to send them to an LLM which then detects the statements and highlights the statements on the page and when the reader clicks on them it shows an explanation. Would really love to get some users and get this tool to way more people thank you! Also here is my GitHub repo and this was NOT AI CODED. https://github.com/ishaang100-pixel/Conflict-of-Interest-De...

First time posting here, so go easy on me — but I'm genuinely excited to share this. Hey r/SideProject I've been building a side project called Sliver, and it just went live on the App Store today. What it does: Sliver turns any website into a slim, always-on-top floating window. Think Picture-in-Picture, but for the whole web. Each little window is called a "Sliver." What makes it actually useful: 🔖 Bookmarks with hotkeys — assign ⌥0~⌥9 to your favorite sites. P...

I keep running into this: every founder I know reads a lot but can't explain what they have learned. The reading doesn't compound into actual understanding or decision- making ability. i have tried: taking better notes (still disconnected) reading more intentionally (still forgotten) discussing with others (helps but doesn't scale) But i think the real issue is the infrastructure. we read in isolation. nobody sees what we are reading. we never get feedback. our reading list never bec...

Hi everyone, I tracked my net worth and salary history in a Google Sheet for years. It worked, but it never did everything I wanted, so I built a website to do it properly. I know plenty of other tools exist, but I couldn't find one that fit what I was after. I've been using it daily and figured I'd share it with the community. It's fully open source. All data is encrypted on your device — everything on the server is just encrypted blobs I can't read. And if you'd rather not trust me with ...
