the video is for 49agents, an open source agent ide. 36 seconds, no sound, first frame is the same as the last so it loops forever. the harness is not a prompt. claude code writes the beats and builds the motion as dom and svg on one timeline. drop your url in the comments and i will try to make you one for free . i read what your product does, build the film, send you the mp4 at 1920x1080. yours, use it wherever you want. no card, no quote after. the harness is new. i want to know if it ...

First paying customer after 20 nights-and-weekends

I have been building FormsReach in leftover hours. It is a form API / contact form backend. Point your website form at it. Instantly live. No style changes, no extra backend. Submissions can leave through email, WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Google Sheets, or a webhook. Midway through, Zeno Rocha (CEO of Resend) posted that if he started again he would pick a boring infra problem, because lazy giants have leftover SDKs and confusing docs, and that is the whole product in an agent's eyes. ...

Make every keystroke visible while you teach, demo, or stream

If you’re recording a tutorial, demo, or stream, it’s often useful for viewers to see exactly what you’re pressing without breaking their focus. That’s why I built Keyty - free, open-source native macOS app that displays your keyboard and mouse input directly on screen. A few things it supports now: - keyboard overlays with different themes and layouts - mouse button and click visualization - customizable size, position, and appearance It’s built in Swift, runs locally, and is completel...

Built a live countdown to the day the US oil reserve runs dry. Hit 3k upvotes on r/dataisbeautiful, then the mods removed it on a technicality

The site: https://strategicallyempty.com I kept seeing headlines about the Strategic Petroleum Reserve and couldn't find a straight answer to "how much oil is actually left." So I built the answer: live countdown, official EIA weekly data, every chart explained, deliberately naive math with the formula published. Launch story so far, for anyone who likes the numbers: - Posted to r/dataisbeautiful . Top of Rising in 40 minutes, 3k upvotes, 96.2% upvote ratio, 400 shares - The...

How do you get the first few users for your project?

The thing I built is for a fairly niche audience. It is ready enough to be useful to someone, however I struggle to get anyone to actually test it. So far everyone that creates an account has just finished the instruction panels at best. Where do you go to get the first few beta users on your app?

Start your day watching the sunrise without leaving the house

I just finished building this today. It's a website that shows you real sunrises 24/7 from a variety of cameras around the world. All live. No looping or recordings. This is a 100% passion project. Not a business. So it's just for the vibes. https://www.livesunrise.io/ FYI, this is a sister site to a similar one for sunsets that I posted here a few months ago if anyone remembers. Somehow sunrises are a bit nicer

Made a mosaic generator for my wife's anniversary, nobody wanted it as a SaaS, then stumbled into the real use cas

So this one took a weird path. I started it as an anniversary gift. Pulled together years of photos of me and my wife — us, the kids, holidays, even the dog — and turned them into one big mosaic image. Posted it to my WhatsApp status and a bunch of people were like "wait I want one of these." Cool, I thought, there's a product here. Built it out properly. Subscriptions, everything rendering in the browser canvas so it was fast. Launched it. Crickets. Not one signup. Made it fre...

I built bloub, an open-source editor for animated SVG avatars

I liked the Grok bot avatar when it came out and wanted to see if I could rebuild it in SVG. It ended up as a small morphing editor. There are 14 animation states and they morph into each other. You customise the avatar by picking a shape, a colour and an expression, then chain the states on a timeline to build your own animation and export it as SVG, PNG, GIF or MP4. It’s in English, French and Chinese. My goal is to turn it into a library you can drop into your own project, so the avatar r...

I built a local “photo album” for the histories Claude Code, Codex and Cursor already keep

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...

I spent 6 months building an app for wedding guests (solo, nights and weekends). it's live, and I'd love brutal feedback

(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...

I set out to build the most transparent, customizable, and privacy-focused news aggregation app. Now it’s live and free on the App Store!

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.
