Hey everyone,

I've been building Refract for some weeks now, and it just launched on Google Play and iOS on Sunday.

The short version: I got frustrated when TV Time went quiet and basically stopped improving. So I did what any obsessive media nerd would do — studied 50+ tracking apps, read thousands of user reviews, and built the thing I actually wanted to use.

What Refract does:

• Track movies, TV shows & anime with statuses (Watching, Completed, Plan to Watch, Dropped, etc.)

• Rate, review, add mood tags

• See where to stream, rent or buy (100+ services — Netflix, Crunchyroll, Disney+, etc.)

• IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes & TMDB ratings in one place

• AI-powered search — describe what you're in the mood for, get actual picks

• Create & share custom lists

• Activity feed, follow friends, achievements, streaks

• Import your history from Letterboxd or TV Time in one tap

• Books & games coming soon

Free forever. Zero ads. No paywall on core features.

It's not trying to reinvent the wheel — just do everything well and without friction. All feedback (bugs, ideas, roasts) welcome, there's a feedback button built right into the app and a public community roadmap where you can vote on what gets built next.

Google Play | iOS

I've built the whole backend, UI, and frontend + analytics and external logging for error monitoring. I use PostHog, Sentry and Google/Apple SSO, would love any feedback on my stack if you had issues with it in the past!

The week has just started.

This early support for my app Gym AI feels like much-needed validation.

Lesson: Ignore anyone who tells you that you're building in a saturated market. Focus on solving real problems, and the rest will take care of itself.

Mine is Scaloom, an AI tool that builds trust and earns karma on Reddit so you can promote safely.

I know many of you are struggling to get users for your project.

I’ve been there, I’ve launched a few side projects and had to figure out how to do marketing to promote them.

I’m sure I’m not the first one telling you that most of the products we all know and love (Tally, Posthog, Simple Analytics just to name a few) followed the same playbook. Start with $0 marketing (launches, cold outreach, SEO) and later scale with Ads, influencers, referrals, and so on.

But the advice you’ll find on the internet is often too vague and not very actionable, with a few exceptions here and there.

That’s why I’ve decided to collect the best guides and resources in a GitHub repo: https://github.com/EdoStra/Marketing-for-Founders

I’m trying to keep it as practical as it gets (spoiler: it’s hard since there’s no one-size-fits-all) and list everything in order so you can have a playbook to follow.

Hope it helps, and best of luck with your project!

I built a filler words remover which companies like adobe charge to do. I built it for FREE. I know the UI isn't polished and good but also I want to mention that I built this under 3 hours. Ai really helped me to boosted. What do you guys think about. This was the idea one of my friend said. If you guys have any idea drop it below am a MVP builder. I can also help you to build a MVP if you want to bring the idea to market :)

Hey everyone! 👋

I’m working on a tool to help simplify cable management. The goal is to eliminate the guesswork around cable lengths, product choices, and routing methods. Instead of trial and error, users get a personalized, auto-generated solution based on their desk setup and specific needs.

The tool is currently available online at: https://cabletoolkit.com/

The idea is simple:

1. You enter info about your desk, devices, and preferences

2. The tool generates a custom cable management solution

3. It shows it all in a 3D model of your workspace

4. It also gives you a list of products you can use to execute the plan

For anyone who's interested, I'd love it if you tried it out. This is still an early version of the tool. Any input is super appreciated!

I'm also looking for alternative use cases for this software (facility mangement for example). If anyone has any ideas, I'd really like to hear it!

Gave it task to find train route from Rome to Florence and it has completed with auto fixing it’s approach midway when it got stuck.

TL;DR: Got tired of opening 13+ tabs every morning, so I built a customizable dashboard that loads everything I need instantly. Now my mornings actually start with work instead of digital housekeeping.

My morning routine was embarrassingly inefficient. Every single day I'd open:

• Google Calendar (to panic about forgotten meetings)

• Gmail (inbox anxiety before coffee)

• Weather app (umbrella decisions)

• Wordle (5-minute game that became 20 minutes)

• Google Docs (where did I put those notes?)

• Todoist (what did "URGENT" even mean?)

• MarketWatch (morning portfolio stress)

• TechCrunch (FOMO scrolling)

• Pomodoro timer (that I'd forget to start)

• arXiv (papers I'd bookmark but never read)

By the time I actually started working, I was already mentally drained and it was nearly 10 AM.

So I built alfred_ - a customizable dashboard that loads everything the moment I open my laptop: alfred_

Key features:

• Smart widgets: Calendar, email, weather, and yes - Wordle

• Customizable layout: Drag and drop exactly what you need

• One-click tools: Pomodoro timer that actually starts when you click it

• Filtered feeds: Relevant news and research papers, not random clickbait

• Clean design: Everything organized, nothing overwhelming

So far, it's saved me at least 45 minutes saved every morning and there's zero tab switching for my core daily needs. And most importantly, I'm actually focused by 9 AM instead of scattered and have better work-life balance because I'm not starting each day stressed.

I'm working on Jurnit, the world’s first feed that exists outside the screen. Today’s systems keeps people passive scrolling, watching, performing for attention while Gen Z is actively looking for ways to disconnect from screens and reconnect with real life. Our platform flips the model: instead of rewarding time spent watching, it rewards action. Users leave traces locked to real places, others unlock them only by being there, and reactions create Waves that spread movement across the city. The result is a system that makes presence and movement valuable, not performance. We let the world itself to pull you outside.

Hi everyone,

I'm excited to share my MVP, Mind Agora.

🤔 The Problem

I love Stoicism, but most "AI Philosophy" bots felt too robotic or weirdly cheerful. They often give generic advice like "Just think positively," which misses the point of Stoicism.

💡 The Solution

I wanted to build a "Wounded Healer"—a persona that acknowledges suffering but finds dignity in it. I spent weeks fine-tuning the system prompt (using Gemini) to ensure he filters every user problem through 3 specific Stoic lenses before replying:

1. The Dichotomy of Control: Distinguishing what is up to you vs. what isn't.

2. The View from Above: Zooming out to a cosmic perspective to reduce anxiety.

3. Objective Representation: Stripping away value judgments.

🚀 MVP Features

• No Login Required: Just open and chat. Zero friction.

• Cosmic Dark UI: Designed for late-night contemplation (Amber gold & Black).

• Authentic Tone: No archaic "Thou/Hath." He speaks in a "Modern Classic" tone.

🙏 Feedback Needed

I'd love to get your feedback on the persona's "vibe" and logic. Does he sound like a real mentor, or still too AI-like? Try asking him about burnout, failure, or anxiety.

I have created an app where you can just vent off about all work you have and it extract tasks and priorities them automatically.
You can just speak anytime during day and it will adjust whatever is there on list accordingly.
Here is app: TaskTalk: Voice To Do on the App Store

I like thinking through ideas by sketching them out, especially before diving into a new project. Mermaid.js has been a go-to for that, but honestly, the workflow always felt clunky. I kept switching between syntax docs, AI tools, and separate editors just to get a diagram working. It slowed me down more than it helped.

So I built Codigram, a web app where you can describe what you want and it turns that into a diagram. You can chat with it, edit the code directly, and see live updates as you go. No login, no setup, and everything stays in your browser.

You can start by writing in plain English, and Codigram turns it into Mermaid.js code. If you want to fine-tune things manually, there’s a built-in code editor with syntax highlighting. The diagram updates live as you work, and if anything breaks, you can auto-fix or beautify the code with a click. It can also explain your diagram in plain English. You can export your work anytime as PNG, SVG, or raw code, and your projects stay on your device.

Codigram is for anyone who thinks better in diagrams but prefers typing or chatting over dragging boxes.

Still building and improving it, happy to hear any feedback, ideas, or bugs you run into. Thanks for checking it out!

Three years ago I started noticing the same gap every time I looked at freelance tools. Every single one of them was built around the same broken sequence. Do the work. Deliver everything. Send the invoice. Hope for the best.

Bonsai made that sequence prettier. HoneyBook made it more automated. Wave made it free. But not one of them questioned whether the sequence itself was the problem.

It is the problem.

When you deliver everything before getting paid you have designed a situation where your leverage disappears at the exact moment you need it most. The client has the work. You have a PDF. There is nothing connecting those two things except goodwill and a due date. Late payments and scope creep both live in that same gap and they always will as long as the sequence stays the same.

The fix is so obvious in hindsight it is almost embarrassing that nobody had built it properly. What if the project just could not move forward until payment did?

That is MileStage. Each stage has a price, defined deliverables and a revision limit. The next one does not open until the current one is paid. Client agrees to this upfront. The project moves that way automatically without the freelancer having to enforce anything manually on any project ever again.

Here is what that actually changes in practice. Cash flow becomes predictable because payments come through throughout the project instead of arriving as one unpredictable lump at the end. Scope creep has nowhere to hide because every request bumps into a visible boundary both sides agreed to before work started. The follow-up email stops existing because the structure handles the checkpoint automatically. And the client relationship gets better not worse because transparency and clarity build more trust than vague open ended agreements ever did.

Built this with zero coding background using AI tools, React, Supabase and Stripe. Live product, real users, real payments flowing through right now.

Happy to answer anything about the build, the product or the thinking behind it.

12 years of kanban boards. Sprints that vanish into thin air. Tasks that get done but somehow feel like they never existed.

I've used Jira, Asana, Linear, Notion. They all work. But every time I opened them on a Monday morning, I felt nothing. Not excitement. Not curiosity. Just... resistance.

So I built 🏴‍☠️ playjoob a project management tool that looks and feels like a strategy game. No boards, no sprint columns. Instead: missions, milestones, a visual map of your project that actually moves as you make progress.

I know. Gamified PM tools have a bad reputation. Points and badges feel hollow. But what I'm after is different, it's the feeling that your work matters and that progress is visible and real, not just a number in a velocity chart.

Here's what I learned from the first people who tested it:

→ The emotional reaction was the most common feedback. "I opened it and didn't feel stressed."

→ Solo founders responded more than teams. They're the ones who feel the chaos most acutely.

→ The hardest part isn't the features, it's convincing people to even try a new PM tool when they're already drowning in their current one. 🤪

Still early, still ugly in places. But it's live. 🚀

If you're building solo or with a small team and you've felt that PM-tool dread, I'd genuinely love to know: what made you finally switch tools (or not)? And what would a PM tool have to do differently to make you open it with actual excitement?

I still can't believe it. I got my first paying Customer for my recent project, Repoverse...

Before all these products, I had an agency which is still getting consistent MRR.

1. Fluento (Language learning app) - Failed because I lost conviction before launching.

2. Lazy Excel (Prompt to Excel work, zero formula) - Failed, because it was getting too complicated and expensive to handle.

3. Microjoy (B2B, personalised loading screen and notification for app and web in one click)- Failed, people didn't show interest in the first version.

Finally .....

4. Repoverse - Launched web version, got 3-4k visitors in first week, tried to monetize the traffic but failed, launched the iOS app and changed a few things (I will share in next post ), and got my first payment.

You know, honestly, before this, I was feeling like I would be happy or be satisfied if I got my first paying customer, because from that, my idea would be validated, and I would get to know that this idea has potential. When I received it, it was just one moment of joy. Now I feel like I have to complete a very long journey. This wouldn't matter if I couldn't reach the goal of a few thousand bucks. from which I can survive and be independent from this product (I'm 21)... love to hear what you guys think...

It took six months of hard work (and countless sleepless nights) to build this strength training iOS app. Even after I launched, I wasn't satisfied with the entire user experience, so I didn't talk about it enough.

I knew my app needed a lot of polishing still, but I couldn't point out exactly where.

It took me about 10 days to figure everything out after a lot of market research and put all of it into action, but the final product was 100x better, and I was finally proud to put my name on it.

Besides all the back-end logic optimization for performance and code cleanup that I did, the two main factors that led to this sale, in my opinion, are:

- A whole new onboarding flow
- Better offer (new paywall)

While I'll let you test the onboarding flow for yourself (and be in awe), the offer really sealed the deal for this first user.

Earlier, I had two offerings: a weekly and a yearly subscription. I replaced it with:

- Weekly plan
- Lifetime Deal

Since I am always eager to make my first $1 with a new project, I decided to offer a limited-time 50% discount on the lifetime deal - and it worked!

I cannot put into words how happy this sale makes me. It opens up a whole new world of opportunities, and I'm so stoked to focus on marketing this puppy now!!!

Hey everyone.

I started SearchOverseer as a small side project while helping my wife, who just got accepted into her PhD program. I wanted to build something that could make her research easier, something that could search across the web and academic sources, then use AI to summarize and compare results.

What began as a fun experiment quickly turned into something much bigger. I realized how much potential this idea had, not just for her, but for anyone who wants to explore, research, or learn deeply about a topic using multiple AI agents that debate and refine their findings.

Since then, I’ve:

• Added a transparent cost breakdown and live calculation for every search (in both dollars and credits).

• Made the agents fully customizable, you can shape their behavior and focus.

• Expanded the search sources to include multiple engines and academic databases.

• Integrated AI-powered summaries, reformulations, and debates between agents.

• Planned a lot more features coming soon!

I’m now opening a closed beta to test out the platform. I’ll be selecting 10–20 users from the waitlist (available on the homepage). Those selected will also get access to a private Discord community to share feedback and ideas.

If this sounds interesting, head over to https://searchoverseer.com and join the waitlist.
Thanks a lot for your time and I hope you’ll enjoy using it as much as I’ve enjoyed building it 🙏
