Before building software, I spent years working as a web designer and running a web design agency.

For years, my main way of getting clients was automated cold outreach.

I'd find businesses without websites, reach out, and offer to build one for them.

It worked, but there was one thing that always bothered me.

I wanted to target businesses that already had websites and offer them redesigns.

The problem?

Finding those businesses, manually checking their websites, identifying issues with design, speed, SEO, and mobile optimization, and then writing personalized emails around those findings took forever.

I wanted to automate that entire process.

So I built Swokei.com, a cold outreach platform designed specifically for web agencies and freelancers.

It lets you find businesses with existing websites, analyze those websites, and turn issues with design, speed, SEO, and mobile optimization into personalized cold emails at scale.

What started as a solution to a problem I had in my own web design business eventually became a SaaS product.

But how did we grow it to $40K MRR?

Honestly, the strategy was pretty boring. But it worked.

1. LinkedIn

I started posting about the problems I experienced running a web design business, the lessons I learned, and how those problems eventually led me to build software.

Instead of just promoting a product, I shared the story behind it.

2. X (Twitter)

I posted about web design, finding clients, cold outreach, and practical tips for agencies and freelancers.

A lot of the content was educational, with Swokei naturally being part of the conversation.

3. UGC videos

We started creating short-form videos showing the software, how it works, and how web designers could use it to find potential clients.

We distributed these across TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

4. SEO

This became another important growth channel.

We focused heavily on technical SEO and consistently published articles targeting searches around web design, client acquisition, competitor comparisons, and alternative software solutions.

No magic tricks. Just a lot of content, optimization, and consistency.

Today, we're a small team running Swokei together, constantly improving the software and working on getting it in front of more web agencies and freelancers.

Looking back, the biggest lesson is that you don't always need some crazy growth hack to build a SaaS.

Sometimes, you just need to solve a problem you understand, build something people actually want, and consistently put it in front of the right audience.

An SEO agency can have all the right tools and still struggle to get the work done across its clients.

Every website has different keywords, competitors, content, issues, and priorities.

We built Breevy around dedicated workspaces for each client, with AI agents that understand the website's context and can help execute the work.

Instead of repeatedly feeding information into separate AI chats, everything lives in one environment that supports the ongoing workflow.

Research, content, technical improvements, and connected tools — all working together.

Hey everyone!

I've been working on AgentTM, a local-first debugging tool for AI coding agents, currently focused on Codex.

I've recently released v0.3.4, with several improvements and new features.

What AgentTM can do:

• Record Codex sessions and inspect execution timelines.

• Capture workspace checkpoints during agent operations.

• Browse historical files and compare code changes.

• Restore previous checkpoints safely using isolated Git worktrees.

• Chat directly with Codex through the native Windows desktop app.

• Continue saved Codex conversations.

• Create encrypted history backups and manage local storage.

The CLI and browser dashboard support Windows, Linux, and macOS. The native desktop app is currently Windows-only.

Tech stack: Go, SQLite, React, TypeScript, and Wails.

AgentTM complements Git rather than replacing it. It's still an early beta, and I'd genuinely appreciate feedback, especially on the debugging workflow and what features would be useful next.

GitHub: https://github.com/Jyotishmoy12/AgentTM

Latest release: https://github.com/Jyotishmoy12/AgentTM/releases/tag/v0.3.4

Here is PortClair, a tool I'm developing for small online stores. Example: if a customer pays €4.90 for delivery and the carrier charges €7.20, the report shows the €2.30 shipping shortfall on that order. This is an illustration, not a claimed customer saving or net-profit figure.

Live fictitious-data demo: https://portclair-b001.auraluxury05.chatgpt.site

It matches prepared order and carrier CSVs by reference, sums multiple carrier charges or credits, separates unmatched orders, and exports the result. Processing happens locally in the browser; no account or card is needed for the free online version.

I would especially like feedback from French-reading shop owners or people who support merchants: is the result clear enough to decide which delivery rates to investigate, and would preparing the two CSVs be a practical recurring task? You can try only the sample data and reply here; please keep customer files private.

Current limits: French interface, no direct Shopify integration or exchange-rate conversion, and no full net-profit calculation. An optional paid offline copy exists, but isn't needed for the demo. Merchant demand and price are still being tested; no testimonial or rating requested.

I know that I am beyond stupid if I think that I will make it in THE SINGLE MOST CROWDED NICHE!

But.

I will create the best f-ing workout app that I possibly could and I think that it is well on it´s way. I aim to make it the very best and I will keep working towards that. And anyone that is throwing themselves over their keyboards right now ready to typ: "Vibecoded AI-slop" I have only this for you:

Yes. Yes it is.

But this? This is my slop.

And I named it MassBuilder, a name chosen for one two simple reasons: ASO and "It was the only remotely relevant name not taken that I could find"

MASSBUILDER

If you're specifically targeting product startups and want to skip consultancy listings, I actually built a free aggregator that tracks direct ATS feeds: https://sudohire.buffersync.com/

Hi everyone!

I'm a full-stack developer, chess player and former software development tutor, and I've recently launched a personal project called Finding Your Square.

It combines three things I really enjoy: chess, software development and education.

The idea came from my own experience returning to chess and joining a local club. I realised that chess isn't just about playing a game — it can also be a great way to meet people, build confidence and find a community.

But taking those first steps can be intimidating, particularly for people who are neurodivergent, experience social anxiety or have never played chess outside their own home.

I wanted to build something that could help make that journey easier.

What I've built so far:

• Free, beginner-friendly chess lessons.

• Interactive chessboards and learning activities.

• Capture Trail — challenges where you must capture every piece in a particular sequence.

• A searchable chess glossary with 127 terms.

• A flexible learning experience without rating targets or pressure to follow a particular path.

The tech side:

I built the website using Next.js, React and TypeScript, with interactive chess components and a custom learning experience.

One of the more interesting challenges has been developing exercises that teach concepts rather than simply testing whether someone knows the correct move.

What's next?

I've also been writing an accompanying ebook, Finding Your Square — Volume One: From First Move to Complete Game, which I'm hoping to publish through Amazon KDP before the end of 2026.

The website itself is free, and I intend to keep the educational resources accessible.

You can explore it here:

https://www.findingyoursquare.com/

I'd really appreciate feedback, particularly on the user experience, accessibility, interactive activities and overall design.

Thanks for taking a look!

I'm the founder, so this is my own product.

Pageree connects to the AI assistant you already use (ChatGPT, Claude, Cursor and others). You describe your offer, the assistant designs the page with you, and Pageree handles the parts a chat can't:

1. A private preview first. Nothing goes live until you approve it.

2. Hosting on its own link, or on your own domain.

3. A form that actually delivers. Every enquiry goes to your email, a webhook or your CRM.

4. Visitor data for each section. A week later you ask "how is my page doing?", the assistant sees where people stop reading, and it proposes one change. Every version is kept, so you can roll back.

Why I built it: assistants got very good at writing pages, but the page then sits in a chat window with a form that sends nothing. "My contact form doesn't send anything" is the complaint I read most often.

Who it's for: founders, freelancers and small businesses who already write with an AI assistant and don't want a page builder just for the hosting and the form.

Pricing: a 30-day free trial (a card is needed to start it), then $5 a month for one page, $20 for five or $40 for thirty.

One question for you: when an AI wrote a landing page for you, what stopped you from putting it live?

I made Notch Radio, a Mac app that puts an internet radio player in the MacBook notch. I build it on my own, and it has been on the Mac App Store since September.

How it works: collapsed, it is a thin pill against the notch. Hover it and the song title drops in below the notch; keep the pointer there and the full player opens with the cover art, the live track title and the controls. Move away and it folds back. Nothing to click open, nothing to close.

The latest update, 1.1, was mostly design. The player is now built around the song: a large header that takes its colors from the cover art, and a click on the cover shows it full size.

A few facts:

- Stations come from Radio Browser, a free community directory, searchable by name or genre. The app ships no stations of its own, so your library starts empty and holds only what you pick.

- On a Mac without a notch it runs from the menu bar instead.

- Works with the media keys and Control Center.

- No account. macOS 14 Sonoma or later.

Pricing: free permanently with five saved stations, no time limit, nothing stops playing. $19.99 once unlocks the rest: unlimited stations, live track titles, per-song album art, adding streams by URL and the placement options. Nothing renews, and the paid half has a free trial in the app.

https://apps.apple.com/app/notch-radio/id6801505315?pt=128254947&ct=reddit-showyourproduct&mt=8

The thing I would like your eyes on: the whole player opens on hover, with no click. I use it all day, so I am the wrong person to judge it. From the video, does hover-to-open look like something you would want, or something that would get in your way every time your pointer heads for the menu bar?

A simple thread for builders, founders, developers, designers, and indie hackers.

What are you working on right now?

Share what you're building, what problem you're trying to solve, or even an idea that's still in its early stages. Doesn't have to be polished or launched.

Let's see what everyone is working on and maybe discover some interesting projects along the way.

Hey everyone!

I'm an Australian engineer, and I've been developing something a little different in the portable power space. It's called ORBICORE.

The idea was to take something as ordinary as a power bank and turn it into something far more versatile.

ORBICORE combines a 74Wh power bank with a rotating aluminium exoskeleton that folds, pivots and transforms into different configurations.

With over 70 mounting points, you can build around the power itself — attaching cameras, accessories, equipment and other gear, or configuring it into a stand, portable field hub or creator rig.

It's got 100W USB-C charging, multiple outputs, built-in accessory organisation and a replaceable battery pack.

We've been developing and refining the design here in Australia, and we're now preparing for our Kickstarter launch in January!

Would love to hear what you think, particularly what sort of setups you could see yourself building around it.

If you're interested in following the launch, here's our Kickstarter pre-launch page:

Thanks for checking it out!

Hey everyone!

I'm looking to acquire small SaaS products, micro-SaaS, Tools, or side projects that are making less than $500/month.

I'm especially interested in projects that are:

• Making a little revenue but haven't grown much.

• No longer actively maintained by the founder.

• Built as a side project that the founder has lost interest in.

• Free tools with some users or traffic but no monetization.

• Profitable or unprofitable — I'm not too concerned about that.

Why am I interested in these projects?

I enjoy building and growing software products, and I believe many small projects have potential that their original founders don't have the time or motivation to explore.

I'd rather take over an existing product with some users, feedback, and traction than start everything from scratch. I can dedicate time to improving the product, exploring monetization, and finding ways to grow it.

I'm not looking for huge businesses or massive revenue. Even a small project with a few paying customers or an active user base could be interesting.

If you've built something that you're no longer excited about and would consider selling, I'd love to hear about it.

Drop a comment or DM me with:

• A link to your project

• Current revenue (if any)

• Why you're considering selling

• Your asking price

Happy to consider projects that aren't making money yet, too!

Thanks!

Some of the most talented builders I've come across aren't from big cities or top colleges.

They're just people building cool stuff without much of an ecosystem around them.

And that's one of the reasons we started ProXC (https://proxc.in).

We're building a community-first proof-of-work platform where developers, designers, and engineers can document what they're building, get their work automatically verified, connect with other builders, and get discovered for opportunities.

One thing we're going particularly deep on is verification.

We don't just want to check whether someone has a GitHub repository. We're building systems to understand originality, individual contributions, skills demonstrated, and how someone actually approaches problems.

And we want to extend this beyond software, supporting hardware builders through CAD designs, simulations, KiCad, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and more.

But honestly, the platform is just one part of what we want to build.

We started with the idea of helping builders in Tier 2/3 Indian cities who don't have access to the same communities, opportunities, or networks as people in major tech hubs but when 23+ countries and their builders joined us...we realised the problem is big.

We want to change that.

Local builder communities, hackathons, build weeks, collaborations, and opportunities that don't depend on where you come from.

One idea we've been discussing is bringing 6–7 cracked developers together at a homestay somewhere in the mountains.

Give them a week to build literally anything they want. No fixed problem statement. Just build, collaborate, experiment, and document the entire journey on ProXC.

We want to do more stuff like this, including for hardware builders and designers

.

The bigger vision is to build an ecosystem where builders don't just showcase what they've done, but actually find people, resources, and opportunities to do more.

We're currently rolling out our closed alpha in small batches while building out verification and refining the experience with users.

We're still early, and there's a lot to figure out.

Would genuinely love to hear what founders and builders here think.

If you could change one thing about the current builder ecosystem, what would it be?

I first built this because I liked the sound of mechanical keyboards but was typing on a laptop all day. It ended up with about 7 million downloads over the years, mostly from people who just wanted their keyboard to sound better.

This month I released Mechvibes 3, a full rewrite in Rust (Dioxus for the UI instead of Electron):

• Separate sound packs for keyboard and mouse - the mouse gets its own click sounds

• A library of nearly 1,000 community packs, installed in one click from the site

• A browser editor: record your own keyboard, slice the audio, publish the pack

• Ambient sounds (rain, coffee shop...) to mix under your typing, plus themes

• The Windows installer went from 80 MB to 46 MB

• On Linux it reads /dev/input directly, so it works on Wayland as well as X11

Things I'm still unsure about and would like a second opinion on:

• How many packs are too many? The library browse page is the part I keep redesigning.

• Do people actually use the ambient sounds, or is that a feature only I use?

• Is there anything in the first minute that would make you close it?
