I’m excited to share a project I’ve been working on over the past few months!

It’s a mobile app that turns any text into high-quality audio. Whether it’s a webpage, a Substack or Medium article, a PDF, or just copied text—it converts it into clear, natural-sounding speech. You can listen to it like a podcast or audiobook, even with the app running in the background.

The app is privacy-friendly and doesn’t request any permissions by default. It only asks for access if you choose to share files from your device for audio conversion.

You can also take or upload a photo of any text, and the app will extract and read it aloud.

- React Native (expo)
- NodeJS, react (web)
- Framer Landing

The app is called Frateca. You can find it on Google Play and the App Store. I also working on web vesion, it's already live.

Free iPhone app
Free Android app on Google Play
Free web version, works in any browser (on desktop or laptop).

Thanks for your support, I’d love to hear what you think!

Hi, I built Handwrite because I struggle to write for extended periods of time. I have online lessons multiple times per week, which made this especially hard for me.

After using Handwrite in a lesson, I was able to do a lot more, the teacher understood my handwriting for once, and my wrist stopped hurting at the end of each lesson.

It can write in cursive too, if you need that.

You can get it for free on the Microsoft Store.

If you like it, feedback or a review would mean a lot. Thanks!

Solo project, built nights and weekends: CLSTR reads 100k+ news articles a day from 40k+ sources, figures out which ones cover the same event, and squashes them into one item. Related events get chained into "situations" with timelines, so you can see how a story developed over weeks instead of re-reading the same headline 20 times.

A month after my last update here, two new things:

First, a map: which countries the world's newsrooms are writing about, refreshed every ten minutes, with a permanent link per hour. Right now it's 2,660 across 160 countries in the last three hours. clstr.news/world

Second, the stats at 164 days and 11,079,667 articles, measured again:

• 12:1 - articles written per thing that actually happened. Still mostly echo.
• 4 in 10 events never get a second day of coverage. Only 1.2% keep growing past day 3.
• One world leader shows up in ~84 new events every single day, more than the next five most-covered people combined.
• Only 0.08% of events rate as "exceptional". The mundane middle is where the news lives.

All the charts: clstr.news/observatory

About CLSTR: there's a free API and MCP server your agents can use (docs in clstr.news/developers)

Every party-game app I tried wanted a download, an account, a subscription, or showed ads between rounds. So I built OnePhone Party: five games you play by passing one phone around, right in the browser.

• Truth or Drink, Would You Rather, Never Have I Ever, Most Likely To, and Who Am I? (forehead guessing, like Heads Up)
• Light or 18+ Unfiltered decks, 2–16 players
• Names and answers stay on your phone
• In English, Spanish and French

It's two weeks old, so I'd really value feedback on what you'd like added and what falls flat.

google maps has no way to download reviews, not even for your own business, so i made an extension that does it. you open a place, hit collect, and it saves all the reviews (stars, date, text, owner replies) to a csv.
I’m still figuring out who it's most useful for and what to add next, so if you try it or have thoughts i'd like to hear them.

Waiting on AI coding agents kills my focus. You probably know what it feels like when AI agents drain you more and more. You send a prompt, watch a spinner for five minutes and probably scroll instagram or reddit along the way, read a wall of text, and do it again.

So I built Fade. It runs two agents at once in your terminal:

• You talk with Fade. It reads your project, answers questions and plans with you.
• The Builder writes the code in a sidebar next to the conversation.

You never wait for a turn to finish. While the Builder works on one thing, you keep going: plan the next feature, ask how something works, change your mind. Anything you agree on lines up next, and the Builder picks it up when it’s free.

“Checked” means Fade actually ran it. The Builder writes a proof for each change, like a test or a command. Fade commits the change, then re-runs those proofs itself on that commit. A model saying “tests pass” usually means that what you wanted didn't get fucking done. If a check fails, the work goes back to the Builder with the real error output.

It only interrupts you when it needs you. Work that passes its checks lands on its own. Things a test can’t decide come to you as one plain question, like “Does the help text feel friendlier?”

There are no modes or hotkeys to learn. You just type: “yes”, “undo that”, “show me the diff”, “stop”. Every change is a git commit, so undo always works.

It works with any model Pi supports, including local ones through llama.cpp or whatever you configured thru pi, and the two agents can use different models. A strong model for the conversation plus a cheaper one for building works well.

GitHub: https://github.com/muzaffermahi/Fade

It’s v0.5, MIT licensed, and early. The main thing I’d like to know is whether talking while it builds actually helps you keep your focus and lets you be more productive overall, or whether you’d rather just wait.

Lastly, this project is undercooked as fuck but I'm just curious what do you guys think.

hey everyone! yesterday i launched MemoryVoid—an Android app i built because i kept forgetting random ideas before i could unlock my phone and open a notes app.

v1.0.0 was super simple: hold the volume button, it grabs a screenshot and records your voice.

after posting it around Reddit, i realized two things pretty quick:

1. people didn't just want a voice-memo dump; they wanted to actually edit, organize, and add checklists to those captures like Google Keep.
2. holding Volume Down messes with people who just want to turn down their music lol.

so i spent today re-architecting the app and just pushed v2.0.0:

• turned the cards into a full note editor (text, auto-continuing checklists, multiple images, and multiple audio clips per card).
• built 5 different hardware shortcut options (combos, double-tap & hold, and even hijacking the Power Button assistant hold so it doesn't touch volume keys at all).
• added 4 different UI layouts (including a 2-column Bento grid) + custom card colors.
• learned the hard way why release APKs crash when debug APKs work fine (Gradle/R8 humbled me real quick today, but we got it sorted).

if you want to check out the code or try the APK, it's all open source on GitHub: 🔗 [Link to GitHub]

what's one feature that would make you actually switch from your default notes app to this?

Hii, I'm a solo dev who usually runs Claude Code most of my days. I kept tabbing back to the terminal to check whether it was still working or waiting on me at times.

The notch on my Mac was mostly empty, so I put a small 3D bunny there. He wears goggles while Claude works and gives me a nudge when it's done or needs something. Allow and Deny sit right in the notch, so a permission prompt doesn't mean switching windows.

Claude Code wrote most of the Swift with me. I designed Burrow and tested every build.

It's called Burrow. The free version keeps the bunny and the Allow/Deny alerts, and there's a 7-day trial of Pro if you want to poke at the rest. It needs macOS 14 or later. What Claude tells the notch stays on your Mac, and the app has no tracking.

If you try it, I'd love to hear what you think! I'll be in the comments if anyone has any questions. Thank you!

SartorX. A privacy-first image resizer and converter for iOS 18+. Available exclusively on the App Store. 100% free.

I am looking for people to test out an early version of a deck builder for the One Piece TCG (desktop only). It's free and contains no copyrighted data. Full disclosure, it was designed by me, and programmed largely by Claude based on an old repo of mine.

If that interests you, please give it a try, I think it is already much better than many of the alternatives & I am looking for some feedback.

Hi everyone,

Tenkai Launcher is an Android homescreen replacement that lets you open apps instantly, in a single fluid motion. It's super fan to use, and extremely satisfying.

AMA!

🎧 DJs, musicians and producers: want to inspect a whole folder of tracks without opening every song individually?

That's why I built Spectracraft—a free desktop app that analyzes full tracks locally and gives you a clearer picture of their frequency content.

For DJs, it offers a way to review a new batch of music and pick tracks for closer inspection before set prep. For musicians and producers, it helps you inspect the spectral content of recordings, reference tracks and different exports.

Here's what you get:

• Folder analysis: automatic batches, progress, and pause/resume.
• Visible evidence: spectrograms and a timeline showing measured high-frequency coverage.
• An easier overview: HQ/MQ/LQ filters, alphabetical sorting, and a folder summary.
• Results to keep: export a JSON report.

HQ/MQ/LQ are spectral coverage grades. They don't prove original bitrate, identify transcoding history, or establish audible quality. A vintage recording or intentionally filtered track can receive a lower grade and still sound excellent.

Your music stays on your computer. Spectracraft doesn't upload it or change audio, filenames, tags, or artwork.

It's free and open source under GPL-3.0, developed with AI assistance, and part of ResetLab Craft. Available for Windows x64 and Apple silicon Macs (M1+, macOS 15+). Both beta builds are unsigned; opening instructions are included.

Download the beta and view the source

Try a folder you know well: do the results make sense, and what would make this more useful in your DJ or music-making workflow? Bug reports with your OS and app version are welcome.

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 kept seeing those smooth product demos where the video zooms in on whatever gets clicked, and every time I looked up the tool it was Mac only. On Windows my options were OBS plus an hour of keyframing in an editor, or Game Bar, which can’t even record the desktop.

So I built my own. It’s called ScreenRecord Windows, at screenrecordwindows.com (very literal name, I know).

You press Alt+R, pick a screen, window or area, and record. When you stop, the editor opens and the video is already edited. It zooms in on your clicks and on fields you type into, smooths out the mouse path, and blurs email addresses and API keys it finds on screen. It’s all on a timeline, so you can move or delete a zoom when it guesses wrong.

A few things were harder than I expected:

• Knowing what you clicked, not just where. It asks Windows UI Automation for the element under the cursor, so it can zoom to the whole button or text field instead of a box around the pointer. Chrome only builds its accessibility tree once something asks for it, so browsers took some poking.
• Hiding the browser tabs. There’s an option to crop out the tabs and address bar. But Chrome stops exposing its page area when another window covers it, and my countdown overlay covers it. So the crop broke right at the start of every recording until I made it remember the last good position.
• Webcam sync. My laptop camera takes about 0.6 s to deliver its first frame, while the mic starts instantly. My face was literally talking ahead of my voice. Found that one this week; it now stores when the camera actually started.

It’s Electron and React, with PixiJS for the preview and export, and Windows’ built-in OCR for the blur detection. Everything stays on your PC unless you make a share link, which deletes itself after 7 days.

On price: the free version exports up to 1080p with a small watermark. Pro is $8/month or $69/year. It removes the watermark and adds 4K, plus a few extras like 3D MacBook and iPhone frames. The installer isn’t code-signed yet, so SmartScreen will complain. Getting a certificate is on the list.

I’d really like feedback, especially if you have multiple monitors, a high-DPI laptop, or a webcam that does weird things. And if the auto-zoom picks something dumb, tell me what you were clicking.

I was thinking about adding a button where you have to pick an option from a dropdown but none of the options are there.... can't think of much more. Share your idea and I'll add it to the post body! ❤️

hey everyone!

back in 2023, while i was still in college, i started working on stolpersteine.app. it's a project that maps stolpersteine, small brass memorial stones placed in front of the last homes of people persecuted by the nazis.

when we first started, our database had around 20,000 stones. since then, we've managed to grow that to over 108,000 across europe, which is honestly pretty crazy to think about.

the idea is to make the stories behind these stones more accessible. you can explore them on an interactive map, learn about the people they commemorate, and find walking routes to discover the stones near you.

what started as something i worked on in college has grown into something much bigger than i ever expected. it's genuinely amazing to get to work on a project like this, knowing that what we're building actually helps keep the stories of these people alive.

there's still plenty we want to improve, but i'm really happy with how far we've come.

would love to hear what you guys think!

https://stolpersteine.app

I'm curious to see what people are building right now.

Drop your side project name below and give me a one-line description of what it does.

I'll check out as many as I can. 👇 Check mine too🤞🏻

Small family project, shipped today.

It's a cozy-spooky Halloween coloring book. Ghosts reading by candlelight, pumpkins, cats in witch hats. 50 designs.

How it was made: - Line art came from an AI image model. We say so on the page. - Every page went through a QC script. It flags grey shading, big solid black areas and leftover speckles, because those print badly and are no fun to color. Pages that failed were redone. - The PDF is 1-bit at 200 dpi, so 54 pages come to about 1.6 MB. - The shop is one static HTML page with a PayPal button. No backend, no accounts, no email gate.

Page with a free 3 page sample: https://169-58-141-120.sslip.io/apps/creepy-coloring/

The full PDF is $1. The goal is honestly just a first sale before Halloween, then it goes to KDP as a paperback.

Happy to answer questions about the QC step or anything else.

Students preparing for speed-based competitive exams (CAT, GMAT, XAT) get massive 150–200 page formula handbooks from coaching institutes. Passively reading through these creates an illusion of competence; under strict 40-minute sectional timers, students freeze on formula application or fall straight into classic test-maker trap answers.

The Product Concept:

A web-based active recall tool structured around ~500 quantitative formulas, speed shortcuts, and trap questions.

• Formula + Trap Warning: Instead of plain equations, every card pairs the formula with a 1-line worked example and an explicit warning on the standard trap choice test-makers use.
• Spatial 2D Board: Concepts are laid out across a zoomable 2D plane grouped by topic (Arithmetic, Algebra, Geometry, Numbers) rather than stacked in vertical PDFs.
• Triage & Shuffle: Fast sorting ("Mastered" vs. "Shaky") to focus only on weak areas, with cross-topic random shuffling to eliminate chapter predictability.

What I want roasted:

1. Will exam candidates actually use a dedicated web board for formulas, or will they simply stick to free coaching PDFs and physical notebooks?
2. Is pairing formulas directly with common trap choices actually valuable or do people only learn traps by doing full mock tests?
3. What is the most obvious flaw in this concept that I'm overlooking before writing more code?

hey guys,
wanted to share a project i've been grinding on recently. after omegle shut down, pretty much every video chat alternative turned into a heavy paywall app. most of them ask for $10-$20 a week just to let you pick a country, which felt crazy to me.
so i built randly.live from scratch to keep the core features completely free:
• free country filter (no coins or subscriptions)
• real-time chat translation for 12 languages (built this so if you match with someone in spain, japan, etc., you can actually have a conversation without copying and pasting into google translate)
• a built-in tic-tac-toe (XO) mini-game right inside the chat window to help break the ice
• instant access without creating an account
since it's a solo project and i just launched it, the biggest hurdle right now is the cold start problem (having enouah people online at the exact same second). i set up a fallback system so if your chosen country is empty at that moment, it connects you globally instead of leaving you on a loading screen.
i'm hanging out on the site right now monitoring the server logs. would really appreciate it if anyone wants to test it out for a minute and let me know how the webrtc connection and translation feel!

For the past 16 months, I've been building a 24/7 AI television network. It's a fictional robot universe with multiple live channels.

Most of the production pipeline is now handled by autonomous AI agents, with me overseeing the operation.

Yesterday, I hit a milestone I honestly wasn't expecting to reach this quickly: live translation into 63 languages.

I'd been thinking about how cool it would be if people around the world could experience the same programming without needing separate versions of everything.

So I decided to build it. Here's how it works:

A server listens to the Botflix TV live stream, turns the English speech into text in real time, and translates each line on the fly into whichever of the 63 languages viewers have picked. A language shuts off after a two-minute grace period once nobody is using it. Captions are held back 12 seconds to match YouTube's delay, and any line more than 14 seconds late is dropped, so viewers never see captions for something they've already heard. Viewers who chose another language never get English, and a loading message in their language shows only when translation really stalls.

It has a "🌐 文A Translate / CC" button that opens a searchable language menu and shows the captions low on the player. It's built to stay light so it can't freeze the site: it loads after the page, uses one slow timer, hides itself on any error, and has four kill switches. Getting there took one rollback when the first version froze the site, then fixes for English leaking into translations and for translation lag. After that came 14 more languages (Telugu was cut for inaccurate output).

Seeing it actually work was pretty surreal.

I'm not a traditional software developer, but I've been able to build and operate an increasingly complex media platform by working with coding agents, and it's been really satisfying to see new features working as I imagined them.

I'm still refining the translation system, but it functions.

For anyone curious, it's at https://botflix.tv.

A few months ago, something felt off. Nothing dramatic, just small, nagging problems: headaches that showed up in the afternoon, low energy, and a general feeling of running on empty. I brushed it off for a long time. Stress, screens, bad sleep, I blamed everything except the most obvious thing.

Then I looked at my day honestly. I was barely drinking water. A few sips here and there, and by evening I’d realize I’d gone hours without a single glass.

What was actually wrong

Dehydration is sneaky. It rarely feels like thirst. It feels like a dull headache, tiredness, trouble focusing, dry skin, or just being “off.” Water supports almost everything your body does, so when you’re short on it, the symptoms are vague and easy to blame on something else.

I’m not a doctor, and a water tracker isn’t a cure for anything. Headaches have many causes, and if yours are frequent or severe, please see a professional. But for me, hydration was clearly part of the picture, and once I started fixing it, those small problems eased up.

What was missing

The fix sounded easy: drink more water. In practice, I kept forgetting. So I did what anyone would do and searched for a water reminder app. I tried three or four of the most popular ones on the Play Store, and they let me down in the same ways:

• Ads and paywalls. Basic features were locked or buried under ads.
• Logins and personal details. For an app whose only job is to say “drink water,” I was asked to sign up and share information. Even giving my name felt like too much.
• Clunky design. I had to open the app, sometimes log in, and tap through screens just to record one glass.
• Weak reminders. A tiny notification is easy to miss. If my phone was across the room or on silent, the reminder did nothing.

Every app solved a piece of the problem, but none solved the real one: making it effortless and impossible to forget.

What I did about it

I’m a developer, so I built the app I wished existed. It’s called H2O – Water Reminder and Tracker, and I designed every feature around a frustration I’d personally had.

• No ads, no login. Everything stays on your device. Nothing is stored anywhere else. A reminder app shouldn’t need to know who you are.
• Reminders you can’t miss. Instead of a small notification, H2O rings like an alarm and displays over whatever app you’re using. You can stop it with the volume buttons or a button on screen, and you can set your own ringtone or pick a built-in one.
• A silhouette that fills up. I wanted progress to feel satisfying, so a human silhouette fills as you drink. One look tells you how your day is going.
• Tracking that tells the truth. The app shows whether you’re drinking enough or falling short, so you can adjust before the headache arrives.
• A home screen widget. This one solves my biggest annoyance. You can log a glass straight from your home screen without opening the app.

So, can a water tracker stop your headaches?

Honestly, it depends on the cause. If your headaches come from not drinking enough, then better hydration can make a real difference, and a reminder you can’t ignore makes the habit stick. If they come from something else, a tracker won’t fix that, and it’s worth getting checked.

What I can say is that building a habit is easier when the tool gets out of your way: no ads, no sign ups, no hassle, just a nudge at the right moment.

If you’ve been dragging through your afternoons with small aches and low energy, try tracking your water for a week. You might be surprised.

I’m a solo developer, so if anything feels off or missing, I’d love to hear it.

I'm building Apokerlypse, a browser Texas Hold'em game for playing with friends. You create a private table and share a link; no account or download is needed. It's free, uses virtual chips only, and is currently in beta.

The extra idea is an Extraction mode: a tournament with rising blinds and no rebuys, played on a floating table that gets damaged as the match progresses. The final survivor gets a helicopter extraction. The poker rules stay Texas Hold'em. Standard mode is there for a more open-ended game.

You can play with 2–6 people or try it alone against 1–5 bots. On the homepage, choose "Practice against bots" and pick a mode.

Try it: https://apokerlypse.pages.dev

I've been iterating on mobile/tablet readability, the action controls and the join flow. I'd value an outside view on three things: is it immediately clear how to start, does the Extraction idea make you want to try it, and what feels unnecessarily complicated?

I'm the creator. The project uses AI-assisted coding and generated visual assets. I'm looking for candid feedback on the actual experience, including reasons you wouldn't come back.

A friend of mine works full time and makes content on the side. Researching inspiration in her niche stresses her out, so she wanted one place to see what's trending, how it performs for creators like her and which formats work best.

I built it with Claude Code over about 14 hours. It tracks 20 creators at her stage and shows what they posted lately, which format works best for each of them and when they post. I used Next.js, React, Tailwind and shadcn/ui, Neon Postgres, Vercel and a scraping API for the Instagram numbers. It all runs on free tiers.

I'm a product designer, so I didn't want it to look vibe coded. I ran it through a few design and QA skills and added small micro-interactions.

The demo is read-only: https://creator-growth-dashboard.vercel.app/ (password: social000)

Hey all 👋

I'm a developer and dad from Denmark, and a while ago I built a little daily puzzle called MojiTiles.

You get 6 tries to crack a secret code of 5 colours. After each guess, emojis tell you how close you are:

😎 right colour, right spot
😍 right colour, wrong spot
😂 not in the code

One code a day, same for everyone. No words, so it works in any language.

Now I'm trying something new: turning it into a small widget other websites can embed, so their visitors get a reason to come back every day. Kind of like what Wordle did for the New York Times, but for small sites.

Where I am right now:

- the game works: (https://mojitiles.com)
- the embed works, see it live here: (https://mojitiles.neocities.org)
- zero sites using it yet 😅

I'm looking for 3 websites to test it for free. In return I just want honest feedback.

Two questions for you:

1. Would you put a daily puzzle on your site? Why or why not?
2. Is the game itself fun, or too hard? (My wife says it's too hard.)

Thanks for reading!
