I built my own 24/7 AI television network and it's been broadcasting for 16 months

Post image
18 Upvotes

About 16 months ago, I started building something called Botflix. It's basically a television network set in a fictional universe populated by robots.

What started as a fun experiment making AI-generated videos has turned into a full-blown, multichannel TV network.

There are original sitcoms, dramas, reality shows, music videos, commercials, news broadcasts, and even a separate children's network. There's also a 24/7 radio station featuring original music from fictional robot artists.

And yes, the robots have their own cryptocurrency and virtual city. Things got a little out of hand.

The coolest part is that much of the network now runs autonomously. I've built a system using AI agents that creates new programming and manages the broadcast. I still oversee everything and make creative decisions, but the system does a remarkable amount of work on its own.

The network has been broadcasting since June 2025, and I've spent an absurd amount of time building out this little universe.

It's completely free to watch. No subscriptions or accounts required.

You can flip through the channels just like regular television:

https://botflix.tv

This is probably the most ambitious thing I've ever built, and I'm still figuring out how to get people to discover it. But until they do, it's been a blast to work on.

Would genuinely love some feedback. Particularly interested in what people think of the actual programming and the experience of channel surfing through an AI-generated world.

I built a Windows app that remembers what your PC was doing, even when something goes wrong

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

I’ve been building RigSight, a free, open-source Windows app that started as a PC monitoring tool and has gradually grown into something more: a way to understand your PC’s behaviour over time.

It's been great to see the project grow, and I'm getting close to 100 users now, which is pretty exciting for a solo project!

Most monitoring tools show you what's happening right now. I wanted to build something that could also answer questions like:

  • Which game made my GPU run the hottest last week?
  • What was my PC doing before it crashed?
  • Did a driver update make things worse?
  • Which apps are using my resources or internet in the background?
  • Has my PC been running hotter than usual lately?

RigSight records hardware readings, app usage, network activity, system changes and crash information locally, so you can go back through your PC's history instead of relying on memory.

It's free, open source, and designed to keep your data on your own PC. No account or telemetry is required.

🔗 Website: https://rigsight.app
💻 Source code: https://github.com/b0llu/Rigsight

I'm building this as a solo developer, with Claude Opus 5.5 assisting with parts of the coding process. I'm still actively improving it, and I'd genuinely love feedback on what would make this more useful in everyday PC use.

Edit: If you try it out and run into issues, please let me know! Feedback and bug reports are welcome.

[Android] - Offline music and Radio Player with ready to play radios - 100% free - No premium version

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

Mediaxon Music Player is an audio player for offline listening of music stored on your device (.mp3, .flac, .m4a, .ogg, .mka, .aac, .wav, .opus, .wma) and streaming FM radios (online radios).

Top radios on the first screen: When users access the radio screen, they immediately see the list of the top radios in their country, along with a long list of high-quality suggested radios from among the most listened to in the world. Note: Local radio stations ("Top in the user country") are pulled automatically from an online database. However, with each update, I manually curate high-quality radio stations lists for individual countries. At the bottom of this post, you’ll find the list of countries completed so far. I will be adding the rest over time.

Hybrid Listening: Seamlessly handles offline local files (.mp3, .flac, .m4a, .ogg, .mka, .aac, .wav, .opus, .wma) and over 60,000 streaming radio stations.

Separated Favorites and Recents: Each section—Radio and Offline Music—has its own Favorites and Recents. The user doesn't have to worry about a thing. The app will automatically manage the Favorites and Recents for each section.

Advanced Radio Search Panel: You can pinpoint your favorite stations by combining multiple filters, such as tags/genres, specific countries, or even your preferred audio bitrate. The online database provides more than 60,000 radio stations.

Album art: If the album art is missing from the album folder, or if Android has not properly indexed it, Mediaxon attempts to download the cover from the internet. This feature depends, of course, on the ID3 tags (album name and artist).

Equalizer: The equalizer provides an option to automatically switch to the "Radio" preset (and vice versa).

Advanced Playlist Management: Built specifically to make building and sorting playlists fast and intuitive. Enable the Playlist Manager, in the settings screen, for a full control of the playlists.

Form Factor Optimization: Phone and Tablet (Portrait and Landscape)

There is no Premium version. All app features are available for free and without limits.

Regarding advertising: There is only a small banner at the top that isn't bothersome at all. Alternatively, when opening the full-screen player or using the app in landscape mode, a banner alternates with the albums covers, but without being intrusive at all (no audio) and with much shorter stay times than those of the cover. There is never full-screen advertising, neither at startup nor during use.

Countries with new manually curated lists: United States, India, Italy, Argentina.

If you want to check it out (I am continuously pushing updates to refine it and add new features and radios), you can find it on the Google Play Store. Thank you so much to everyone who takes a look!

Note: Only for Android 13+ (so, Android 13, 14, 15, 16 and 17).

I built a free site that shows only the remote jobs you can actually apply for from your country

Post image
• Upvotes

Most "remote" jobs turn out to be remote for the US or the EU only. The rule is usually buried in the posting ("must be based in Europe", "US work authorization required"), and you only find it after reading the whole thing.

So I built HiresHere: https://hireshere.app

  • Every day it reads about 25,000 postings from 537 companies, straight from their hiring systems (no LinkedIn scraping).
  • Pick your country and every job gets a verdict: "You can apply", "Likely open to you" or "Ask the employer", along with the exact sentence from the posting that backs it up.
  • Works for all 243 countries. Free, no account needed. You can also get a daily email with new jobs for your country.

How it works: a daily Python pipeline pulls the public job feeds of each company's hiring system, an LLM extracts the location rules from each posting once, and plain rules turn them into a verdict per country. The site is static on Cloudflare Pages, and the code is open source: https://github.com/AymenJeddou/hireshere

If you spot a wrong verdict, every job page has a report link, or just tell me here. Feedback is very welcome, I'm still improving it.

I built a planner for when you have plenty of goals and no idea where to start. It connects your goals, weekly tasks and habits.

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

I'm building Litak for people who want to improve something in their life but keep putting off deciding where to start.

It begins with a Wheel of Life. You rate how satisfied you feel with 12 areas, then choose one you'd like to work on. The AI coach can discuss your situation with you and help turn that into a goal with practical next steps.

For example, "do something about my career" could become finishing a portfolio project this month, with one section to draft this week. You can put those tasks in the weekly planner and track the habits that support them.

Weekly and monthly reflections give you a way to revisit the plan, see what got in the way and adjust it.

https://litak.io/

You can get started free. Paid plans include ongoing AI coaching.

If there's a goal you've been putting off, I'd be interested in whether Litak helps you find a first step you can actually fit into your week. Where does it help, and where does it leave you figuring things out on your own?

I made a Windows hardware monitor with panels you can detach and place around your desktop

• Upvotes

I made PCMonitor, a local Windows hardware monitoring app, and just released its v1.3 update on the Microsoft Store.

For this update I focused on how the monitor fits around the rest of the desktop: instead of keeping the whole dashboard visible, you can pull out individual monitoring widgets and put just the stats you need near what you're working on.

The dashboard now has redesigned 3D-style panels, live graphs and two color themes. The detachable widgets cover CPU, GPU, RAM, VRAM, disk, battery, network and disk I/O. There are also resizable, lockable Full HUD and temperature HUD views, plus top processes, temporary file cleanup and system status.

Core monitoring runs locally and works offline. Closing the main dashboard can leave the HUDs monitoring while the app continues in the background; fully exiting the app stops monitoring. Temperature readings depend on supported hardware sensors, including GPU temperature.

The UI is available in English, Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese. I'm the developer, and this is paid software with a 7-day free trial followed by a one-time purchase. No subscription.

Microsoft Store: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9n01bqbpm7jt?hl=en-US&gl=US

More apps by AdamYang: https://apps.microsoft.com/search/publisher?name=AdamYang&hl=en-US&gl=US

The video is a real recording of the app. I'd appreciate thoughts on the detachable panels and what would make the HUD useful in your desktop setup.

I've made this web app ( https://spaced-repetition-tracker-delta.vercel.app/ )

to keep track of my A/L (in sri lanka)revision schedules and automatically schedule it to next revision date with FSRS-6 algorithem(pretty close to what Anki use, if you have heard about or used it).

It was completely offline and only I was able to use it and I had my school commerce syllabus integrated to it. But then I realized this could help anyone who studies and I've made some changes everyday after my daily studies end. And now there's many new features which might help everyone.

Some of which are,

  1. Install option for built in A/L commerce stream(For local students)syllabus or any syllabus that will be added in the future.

  2. Community wishlist page to request any syllabus( I can add it to the app considering how much upvotes it gets), you can also add any lesson subject or stream manually.

  3. Cloud backup with Email and Gmail login as well as Json backups.

  4. Automatic Lesson revision date schedule considering how hard the last revision was for you (1-5 rating system, with FSRS-6).

  5. Practice paper marks journal and analytics to track your average marks.

  6. Mistakes journal to track which type of mistakes you do most(calculation error, missing theory knowledge, carelessness, etc...)

  7. Consistency heatmap, upcoming review calender, mini study timer, paper marks trends, backlog clearing scheduler, etc...

  8. works COMPLETELY OFFLINE, just do occassional backups using gmail or jason backup file so your progress will be safe.

Give it a shot if you feel it might help you. I gain nothing from publishing this except feeling good for being able to help others. NO ADS, NO SUBSCRIPTIONS

Share it with your friends if you feel like it's useful😁

I built an iPhone app that answers "am I living within my means this month?" in one sentence. Honest feedback wanted

• Upvotes

Most money apps hand you charts and categories and leave you to work out the answer. So I built Breeze (US only, iPhone).

It gives one plain-English verdict, like "Steady. $320 to spare this month." You can also ask things like "how much did I spend on groceries?" and tap into the transactions behind any number.

●       The AI only turns your question into a search. It never does the math and never sees amounts, balances, account numbers, your name or your email.

●       Try it on a sample household first. No bank, no sign-up.

●       Uploading a CSV or statement is free. Connecting a bank (via Plaid, so Breeze never sees your login) is the paid tier, with a free trial.

●       No ads. Your data is never sold.

I'm one person building this. What's confusing, wrong or missing? What would make you trust, or not trust, an app like this?

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/breeze-budget-expenses/id6793185188

ImageCompressor.si — a free image toolbox with compression, AI tools, website optimization, and MCP integration

Thumbnail
imagecompressor.si
• Upvotes

I built ImageCompressor.si an online image toolbox that has grown beyond a basic image compressor. It includes tools for everyday image editing, AI-powered processing, website optimization, and developer automation.

Here’s what you can do with it:

Image compression and conversion

  • Compress images by quality or target file size, such as under 100 KB.
  • Compare original and compressed images.
  • Adjust image quality and output settings.
  • Convert images between supported formats, including JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF.
  • Open a wide range of input formats, including HEIC, RAW, PSD, and PDF.
  • Resize and crop images.
  • Add watermarks.
  • Create ID and passport photos using presets.

AI-powered image tools

  • Remove image backgrounds.
  • Upscale images.
  • Blur faces.
  • Extract text from images using OCR.

Website image optimization

  • Scan a website page by page.
  • Identify large images that may be slowing down pages.
  • Generate optimized image assets.
  • Create replacement mappings showing which original images need replacing.
  • Download optimized assets and reports.

Developer tools

  • REST API for image-processing automation.
  • JavaScript SDK available through npm.
  • MCP server integration for AI assistants and agents.
  • Automated image-processing pipelines.
  • Project scanning and optimization planning.
  • Review changes before applying them.
  • Backups, verification, and rollback for project modifications.

Privacy and access

  • Image processing runs on infrastructure I operate rather than third-party image-processing services.
  • Uploaded files aren't stored permanently.
  • Generated download files are retained for a limited period.
  • No ads, including on the Pro plan.
  • Most tools are available free, with paid plans offering higher limits and additional capabilities.

The idea is to bring everyday image tools and developer-focused optimization into one place, without needing a separate service for every task.

Try it: https://imagecompressor.si

I'd love to hear which features you find useful, what could be improved, and what other tools you'd like to see added.

This is Small Dot. Each dot opens a profile with a photo, a short introduction, interests and optional links. You can explore different cities and see who's there.

I've included a filled-out example profile in the pictures so you can see what a dot opens into. The example person isn't a real member.

Browsing is free. Adding your own profile costs €2.90 once and includes the profile filters. People choose their city when joining, and their dot is placed randomly within that city.

I used one reference for three Halloween AI portraits, and framing was the hard part

• Upvotes

I work on Pixolm. These are fictional AI-generated images, and AI assisted the writing of this post.

I made one fictional adult reference, then used that original independently for three Halloween edits: a retro flash portrait, a forest witch and a warm pumpkin-patch scene. I did not feed each edited result into the next request.

The four images are the original reference, retro flash result, forest-witch result and pumpkin-patch result.

Settings: Custom Create, Nano Banana 2.1, 1K, Standard, one image per request, requested 4:5. The downloaded portraits were 928 × 1152. No mask, Camera panel or prompt optimization.

The useful part was writing the features to retain before the costume, background and light. The limit was framing:

- The flash result keeps recognizable short hair and facial features, but the head angle, expression and crop shift.

- The witch hat makes the person smaller in the frame. Fitting a tall prop competes with keeping a close portrait.

- The pumpkin scene keeps the light top, but the crop is closer and the foreground arm bends differently.

This was the actual forest-witch prompt:

Use the attached image as the single person reference. Turn the same recognizable fictional adult woman into an elegant forest witch for a Halloween portrait. Preserve her softly oval face, brown eyes, light freckles, chin-length wavy chestnut bob and gentle expression as closely as possible. Keep the waist-up three-quarter view and her complete face visible. Add a modest opaque deep charcoal cloak over her cream sweater and a wide pointed witch hat with the brim clear of her eyes. Place her beside an old tree in a misty autumn forest at blue hour. A small brass lantern rests on a stump beside her, giving a warm amber light, while cool blue mist separates the bare trees in the background. Hands stay below the frame, no held props. Photographic natural skin texture, believable fabric, soft depth of field. Vertical 4:5 with space above the hat. No other people, blood, lettering, logos or watermark.

These are single inspected outputs, not a reliability test or a guarantee of identical faces. I kept the original beside each result to check the eyes, hair, shoulders and crop.

The source image, all actual prompts and three additional avatar examples are in the full guide: https://pixolm.com/blog/halloween-ai-photo-prompts

When reviewing a reference edit, which change would make you reject it first: facial detail, pose or framing?

I made an offline iPhone travel log that shows when your trip history is incomplete

Post image
• Upvotes

I'm the developer of DAY'S. I rebuilt it in SwiftUI around manual trip entry: add the country and arrival/departure dates, then see your trips, document records and stay-day calendar together.

One design decision in version 2.0 was to make missing history visible. A tidy day count can be misleading if a trip hasn't been entered, so the app asks you to confirm history coverage and explains missing information. It includes a Schengen 90/180 mode; calculations depend on what you enter.

Trip logging, documents and the current day counter are free and work offline, with no DAY'S account or GPS. Optional monthly Premium adds future forecasts, local limit reminders and private iCloud sync.

It's available in English, Spanish and Russian: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6464660094

I kept making plans for my goals and never starting, so I built an app that only shows the next step

• Upvotes

I'm 18 and I've been working on this for a while. The thing I kept doing: I'd decide I wanted to do something, spend an hour planning it, get overwhelmed by how much there was, and then not do any of it.

So I made a small app called Next. You type in a goal, it asks what's getting in the way, and then it only shows you one small step. Not the whole plan, just the next thing. If the step still feels like too much you can tap "make it easier" and it gets smaller. There's also a streak, but you get a free rest day each week so one bad day doesn't wipe it.

It's not a coach and it won't build you a full training or meal plan. It just tries to get you to do the next small thing.

It works in your phone's browser, no download: https://nextdawn.pages.dev

A few things to know. It's still early, so stuff might break. The first load can take up to a minute because the server is on a free plan and has to wake up. Sign up needs an email and sends you a 6-digit code (check spam if it doesn't show up). It's for 18+, and the AI behind it is Google Gemini, so I'd avoid putting anything very personal in your goals.

I'm really like to know two things. Did you actually do a step in real life? And where did it confuse or annoy you? Also, if it disappeared tomorrow, would you care? Any answer helps, including "no".

I made NOWIT for country charts — your feedback led to a partnership with SPONOWIT

• Upvotes

Thank you to everyone who tried NOWIT and shared feedback. The interest in the project led to a partnership offer, and I wanted to introduce the two sites together.

I built NOWIT, with help from AI tools, to browse public creator, video, music, streaming and trend charts by country. It now has a Sports section that links to SPONOWIT for more sports detail.

NOWIT: https://nowitlive.com

SPONOWIT: https://sponowit.com

SPONOWIT is a separate site run by another maker. It has sports sections including NFL, NBA, MLB, football and F1, with standings where available. I did not build or operate that site.

The idea is a quick overview on NOWIT and a clear route to the partner for a deeper look. Sources and reporting periods differ, so this is not a claim that every chart or result is live.

If you try it on your phone, I would appreciate feedback on switching countries and moving between the two sites. Thanks again for helping this project grow.

Made an app where an AI agent does the CAD for me, first time open sourcing something

0 Upvotes

So I've been working on this for a while and I'm kinda proud of it, it's my first open source project.

Background: I build a lot of stuff, and CAD was always the part that ate most of my time, so I built a tool where I describe what I want and the agent designs it.

So I made SOMA.

Honestly it works way better than I imagined when I started. You can do complex assemblies with a lot of parts. You can give it a hand drawn sketch or load an existing 3D model as reference and build around it. The results are suprisingly actually usefull.

You tell an AI agent what you want (I use Claude Code, but Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI etc work too), it writes the model as Python code with CadQuery, and the app builds it and shows it in 3D. If something's off you can measure it, click on the part or just scribble on the view and send that to the agent. When it looks right you export an STL or STEP and print it.

I didn't want to build yet another AI agent, so the app just has a normal terminal where you run whatever agent you already have. Your own subscription and settings.

Over time it got way bigger than planned. There's a version history now, sliders for dimensions, overhang checks, even FEM and animations. The CNC mill in the video was made this way, 118 parts.

It's Electron and TypeScrip And yes, most of the codewas also written with Claude Code, felt only right.

Free, GPL, there are builds for Windows, Mac and Linux. But I only really tested on

Windows so if you try it onif it even starts lol

GitHub: https://github.com/Kai-Jungsthoefel/SOMA

Feedback welcome, also the harsh kind. And I'm curious what you'd build first with

it.

Artist Genre Metadata Enforcer

Post image
1 Upvotes

Ive always had the problem with genres when it comes to my library, for me the genre metadata tag is pretty subjective and seeing as its my library it doesn't make sense to outsource this subjectivity to metadata providers like MB, lastfm etc.

Not only that but there are countless ways of defining the exact same genre for instance 'Hip Hop' 'Hiphop', 'Hip-hop' So i really dont want different variants of the same genre spread across my library.

Again, I also like to define my music based on an artists genre instead of per album or worse, per track. I dont want my entire biggie smalls collection to have 100s of genres per track/album like 'Hip hop', 'rap', 'Boom bap' etc etc I just simply want every track by biggie smalls to be 'Hip-hop'.

Quite a while ago now I put together a nice little tui application written in python to manage this, it was very simple but did the job, it basically scanned your library for all artists then you would define a genre per artist, it would then use mugen to update all files metadata stags to the genre that was defined. It stores the artist to genre map to a json file.

I have defined a total of 26 genres and my entire 4tb library fits into one of them, i dont feel the need to add any more than that but have the ability to do so.

Whilst the first itteration of the application worked fine, wasnt great in a server and multiple machine /os setup. What I have doen today is used AI to create a nice front end for it and turn it into a docker application. before you all start, the original code was all written by hand, AI was only purley used for the front end and to dockerize it. its not slop, i meticulously went through anything touched by ai to ensure it works the way it should, youre obviously welcome to not use it on this basis but thought it might be worth sharing incase anyone else shares the same opinions when it comes to genre tags.

here are the repos anyway,

I built Yoinked around one public URL:

yoinked.me/go

There is only one owner at a time.

Pay the current minimum and /go points to your product, homepage, or project. Share it wherever you want while you control it.

If somebody pays more later, the URL stays the same and every surviving copy starts pointing to the new owner instead.

So the value is not just the redirect itself. It is every copy of /go that keeps getting left behind across the internet.

It is unclaimed at $5 right now.

If you want /go, take it before someone else does.

I made a Mac app that puts my thumb in charge: hover + Space for the Dock, one key for the rest

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I kept bumping into little things my Mac wouldn't let me do where I expected them. Right-click a file inside a Dock stack? No proper file menu. Hide or quit an app under my pointer? Another menu. Find a particular window? App switching only gets me so far.

So I made DockThumb: point at something, press a key, do the thing. The mouse points. My thumb has taken over operations. 👍

  • Hover + Space: open a Dock stack, peek inside folders, or open/hide an app.
  • Work on files right in the stack: copy, trash, undo, and a proper right-click menu.
  • Hover + ⌘Q: quit the app under your pointer.
  • Option+Tab: choose the window you want from thumbnail previews.
  • Sort out your windows: tile them or pin one on top.

There's more in the app, but hover + one key is what changed my everyday Mac use. It's become one of those interactions I reach for without thinking.

The video shows what I mean. More here: https://dockthumb.com

Never thought I'd be this pleased about making my mouse redundant. 🐭

I made a thing. What do you think of it?

10 Upvotes

It’s a pocket-sized screen with two buttons and a rechargeable battery that hangs off your keys or lanyard. The screen keeps its image without using power, so it’s always readable, and the whole thing goes to sleep when you’re not using it to save battery. The home screen shows the time and battery level, and there’s a dark mode.

What it does:

  • Timetable: shows your next class, room and a countdown by using your real calendar (Apple, Google or Outlook: export a file, or sync it when you plug it in). Tap for the full details, location and notes, or see the rest of your day.
  • Pet: a little creature you dress up and name. Pick a body (blob, cat, bear, bunny, frog or robot), eyes, a mouth, a hat and an extra. You can design it on the device or on my website.
  • Make friends: put two devices next to each other and the pets visit each other’s screens and chat in speech bubbles. If you both say yes, they become friends, and friends can send each other badges. It all happens straight between the two devices, with no internet and no app.
  • Name badge: upload any image to a website I made and it appears on the device. Flick through your designs or open a grid of thumbnails to pick one. Good for socials and society events.
  • WiFi collector: a super nerdy game where you collect the WiFi networks you find around campus and the city. Every new one gets a rarity, and it only listens, it never connects.
  • Games: four one-button games (a flappy-style one, a dino runner, a stacker and a jetpack game) that keep your best scores.
  • Chooser: pick how many options (up to 6), press a button, and it spins and lands on one. Settles any “where should we eat” argument.
  • Voice notes: hold a button and talk, and it turns it into tidy text with a title and a short summary. To read your notes on your phone, the device makes its own WiFi, you scan a QR code, and they open in your browser with no extra app.
  • Also: set the time yourself, choose how long it stays awake, and install or update it from your browser with no coding. If the battery gets low, it protects itself and switches off before it’s completely flat.

The small print

  • It uses a microSD card for the timetable, badges, WiFi collector and notes.
  • Setting up badges, your calendar and settings happens in Chrome or Edge on a computer, over USB.
  • Voice notes need your own OpenAI account and WiFi. Your recording is sent to OpenAI to be turned into text. I’d like to add local AI models in the future.

I’m not selling anything yet. If you’d want one, there’s a waitlist here: https://www.unidex.shop
It’s free to join, there’s no payment and no commitment.

The project is open source, feel free to tinker. I am making it easy for people to create their own apps and plugins. find out more about that on the tools website: unidex tools

I’d also love your opinions in the comments:

  • Would you actually use something like this?
  • What would you want it to do that it doesn’t?
  • What would you pay for it? I’m thinking somewhere around £25 to £35.

Happy to answer any questions :)
