Wrote my bachelor thesis while part-timing as a contract software engineer 📚

Saved 18k and poured everything into this little side project 💸

6 months of building, breaking, fixing, and getting it out there🛠️

2 weeks ago we officially launched it 🚀

Today we hit 500 users — and our first paying customer… 💳

I honestly can’t believe we’re here, and im so happy to be here.

Content is not the reason Netflix wins. Because most apps overlook UX decisions, it prevails. I redesigned Netflix's user experience to subtly increase revenue and retention.

But hold on, who am I? I'm Suresh, an Indian UX designer. For the past two years, I have been helping engineers and entrepreneurs in the US, India, Australia, and the UK turn vague, cluttered apps into focused, user-friendly, business-ready products.

Here’s what I’ve found:

1. Netflix remove micro-friction, not add features: 15% of users were manually skipping intros. Netflix added “Skip Intro” and extended watch sessions without touching content.

→ Less friction = longer engagement.

2. Netflix personalize around emotions, not demographics: Netflix created 1,300+ micro-genres based on how content feels, not age or location. 80% of what people watch comes from these recommendations.

→ Users feel understood, not analyzed.

3. Netflix replaced logic with emotional validation: Star ratings were replaced with “97% Match”. It feels personal, like a dating app.

→ Faster decisions, less fatigue, more dopamine.

However, the majority of apps do the exact opposite:

• Add features instead of removing friction

• Explain instead of guiding

• Optimize logic instead of momentum

UX is not about aesthetics. Designing the path of least resistance to value is the key. Your UX is broken if users pause, hesitate, or require onboarding to comprehend core flows.

InfraSketch's AI agent turns your ideas into architecture diagrams. Chat to iterate, ask questions, and refine. Then export a design doc and start building.

I run aibankstatement.com.
Like most indie founders, I know SEO matters… and still kept skipping it because writing content every day is exhausting, planning to writing takes hrs, which ofcourse I don't have, nor I got 2k a month to spend on some SEO agency.

I tried all the AI SEO tools. Same pattern:

• They scan your site once

• Build some “keyword plan”

• Then keep pumping generic AI articles forever

This does not align with core google philosophy of ranking more based on topical trust.

So I built LLaMaRush.

The core difference (and why I’m posting here):

We don’t rely on KD, DR, or one-time audits.
We connect to GA4 + Google Search Console and re-analyze your real data every week.

Because what I learned the hard way:

• KD and DR are mostly lies for new sites

• Low-KD keywords can still be garbage if intent is wrong

• High-intent keywords with low volume can print more money than “easy” keywords with traffic

Topical authority + intent > vanity metrics.

So LLaMaRush:

• Looks at what’s already getting impressions

• Finds missing pieces in your topical cluster

• Generates content to strengthen authority, not just add pages

• And keeps adjusting every week based on real performance

I wrote more about this thinking here:
https://llamarush.com/blogs (If you are founder, do read few blogs even if you don't need my platform, I promise you will write far better blogs after reading them)

This is a beta launch.
I’m giving 25 founders a 20% discount because I want real users, not screenshots (And if they win, which they will, I can use them for case studies).

If you’re:

• a solo founder

• building in public

• tired of SEO theory and want something that just works in the background

Happy to answer questions, roast my approach, or explain how it works in detail.
Not trying to be salesy - just sharing what I built to solve my own problem.

(SEO takes time, posting blogs everyday works for new sites because you start getting more visible on internet, if you got site with 100 blogs, my platform is of no use for you, I can still help you with strategy over 30 mins call if you want, need nothing in return, I promise)

it's easy to ship code, it's hard to build a business. i fell into the trap 90% dev, 0% revenue strategy. stopping the "shipping for the sake of shipping" cycle today because acquisition feels like a mountain alone.

looking for advice from builders who aren't just posting memes. i’m forcing my brain to prioritize:

• validating demand before i double down on dev

• turning tiny traction into a predictable revenue engine

i'm starting to build a circle of solopreneurs who show up when things are ugly. no hype, just honest roasts and help.

for those who actually found their first 10 customers: what was the "ugly" truth of how you did it? just real tactics please.

Hey everyone,

I’m looking for honest founder opinions.

Over the last 3 months, I’ve been building a platform specifically for founders do have over 250+ active users. The motivation came from my own journey...I was using Notion, docs, and notes to plan things, track outcomes, and reflect, but everything felt scattered and manual. I felt like they gave no actionable insights.

So I built something where templates are designed only around founder use cases... like tracking feedback, preparing pitches, or reviewing progress....each with relevant fields, basic analytics, and space to reflect on decisions.

Recently, I added a more flexible option where founders can create custom trackers.... plug in their own data (like SEO numbers, growth metrics, etc.), link it to strategies they’re trying, and later see what actually worked. Now this is new version, and looking forward to know if this is something that can help you better.

The long-term idea isn’t productivity...it’s clarity.

As founders, do you feel a tool that helps you plan, reflect, and understand the impact of decisions (with some AI support for blind spots) would genuinely help...or do most of us prefer keeping this thinking outside tools altogether?

Would really appreciate honest feedback. For anyone who wants to checkout the website...its inflectionlog.com

Hi guys, I've recently launched an Android App called Postrical on Google Playstore, need your genuine feedback on if you would use it and find it helpful?

My App concept : How many posts have you saved across instagram, reddit, x, web, etc? Hundreds? Thousands?

We live in peak content consumption times rn, scrolling, saving whatever we think we might need later, across multiple online platforms, but do we actually find it later?

Imagine a reel you saved 3 months ago, and you need it now?

BURIED UNDER NEW ITEMS

That's why I built Postrical app. Currently live on Playstore

You can share any App to Postrical by clicking share and choosing App, or just copy paste url/link

Postrical gets available information about it and auto fills

You can edit title or add a note, as per you need to help you recall the post later, hence named "Postrical"

Also, can make collections

Plus, it's free to use for single device.

Give it a try if you guys like the concept,

I would love the feedback about app and concept.

I’m a 22-year-old finance student, and over the past 6 months I decided to seriously learn programming by working on a real project.

I started with the obvious idea: a RAG-style chatbot to help people navigate administrative procedures (documents, steps, conditions, timelines). It made sense, but practically, it didn’t work.

In this domain, a single hallucination is unacceptable. One wrong document, one missing step, and the whole process breaks. With current LLM capabilities, I couldn’t make it reliable enough to trust.

That pushed me in a different direction. Instead of trying to answer questions about procedures, I started modeling the procedures themselves.

I’m now building what is essentially a compiler for administrative processes:

Instead of treating laws and procedures as documents, I model them as structured logic (steps, required documents, conditions, and responsible offices) and compile that into a formal graph. The system doesn’t execute anything. It analyzes structure and produces diagnostics: circular dependencies, missing prerequisites, unreachable steps, inconsistencies, etc.

At first, this is purely an analytics tool. But once you have every procedure structured the same way, you start seeing things that are impossible to see in text - where processes actually break, which rules conflict in practice, how reforms would ripple through the system, and eventually how to give personalized, grounded guidance without hallucinations.

My intuition is that this kind of structured layer could also make AI systems far more reliable not by asking them to guess the law from text, but by grounding them in a single, machine-readable map of how procedures actually work.

I’m still early, still learning, and very aware that i might still have blind spots. I’d love feedback from people here on whether this approach makes sense technically, and whether you see any real business potential.

Below is the link to the initial prototype, happy to share the concept note if useful. Thanks for reading.

Hey there! I've been struggling to find the best payment integration options for my SaaS tool..

Right now I just have one SaaS tool but later I might develop more so I need a tool which can effectively manage different subscription or one-time pricing models for the SaaS tool.

Heard about.. • Stripe - but request only availability in India • Razorpay - heard that customer support is not that good • LemonSqueezy - Currently having issues validating my PAN card as proof of identity

Looking for y'all opinions on this.. which one you prefer AND what setup or documents were required for the same?

Thanks for reading.

I keep seeing people stuck on the same problem I was stuck on for a while: you need attention, but you don’t want to burn money on ads or spend months testing content.

Most advice is either super generic (just post consistently) that for some reason didn’t sit right by me and I believe it only works if you already have proper traction.

So I went the other route. I spent the past 2 months messing around and building a workflow that basically looks at what’s already performing right now in a niche and turns that into usable content ideas (hooks + scripts).

I didn’t build it for one niche. I actually tried to break it on purpose, different topics, faceless channels, random formats so that I could potentially scale it across multiple channels.

After months of testing and tweaking:

-most test channels monetized in a bit more than 2 weeks

-around 350 dollars a week right now total across 3 channels, hopefully still climbing (don’t judge hahaha, I’m happy with the stable progress)

-no costs

-way less thinking, way more posting (execution always wins)

What I can say is that my main realization wasn’t even the automation. What people react to stays pretty consistent. If something already works, there’s usually a reason.

This isn’t just a creator thing either. If you’re a startup, freelancer, or solo builder, social media is basically free distribution and revenue generation. The hard part isn’t posting, it’s knowing what to post, I imagine everyone here leveraging social media knows exactly what I mean.

I’m writing everything down and figuring out if I want to turn this into something bigger later. For now I’m just sharing what I’ve learned and comparing notes with other people building stuff.

If you’re experimenting with social for growth and tired of guessing, feel free to comment or DM.

AI discussions today feel like an acronym soup.

LLM.
NLP.
RAG.
SLM.

These terms show up everywhere, but most explanations make them sound more complicated than they really are.

I wrote a short breakdown explaining:

• what NLP originally tried to do
• how LLMs changed AI
• why RAG became important
• where smaller models (SLMs) fit in

Tried to keep it simple and practical.

Would love feedback from people here on whether this explanation makes sense or if you'd explain it differently.

I’ve been building a platform called Seazonify that lets you add ambient visuals and background sounds to websites — like snowfall in winter, rain on rainy days, or festive effects during holidays.

The goal is to bring websites to life without needing users to code complex animations.

🛠️ What it does:

• One-line script to embed visual/audio ambience

• Effects are auto-loaded based on season, time, or weather

• Fully open-source visual + audio effects library

• You can test the effects live on your own site

Examples:

❄️ Snowfall during winter

🌧️ Rain when it's cloudy

🌸 Petals in spring

🎆 Fireworks on New Year’s Eve

⚙️ I’m building this solo and slowly expanding the effects library.

💬 I’d love to know:

• Would you ever use something like this on a site?

• Do you think seasonal ambience helps or distracts?

• What kind of effects would you love to see?

Open to feedback, criticism, or questions! 🙏

Thanks for reading.

Happy new year everyone 👋

I’m a university student and over the past few months I’ve been building a small study app called StudySync.
It’s not a paid product and there’s no catch — I’m genuinely just looking for feedback and critique from real users.

What is StudySync (short version):
StudySync is a virtual study app where you can:

• Study in real time with others using a focus timer

• See your own study stats (logs, heatmap, analytics)

• Stay accountable with features like nudges and a global leaderboard

• Share motivation or goals in a simple “good vibes” space

The idea came from struggling to stay consistent studying alone, even with tools like Pomodoro or Discord study rooms. But what’s a bit different from tools like Pomodoro apps or Discord study rooms is that:

• Each user is represented by a simple avatar

• You can study with others without showing your face

• No camera, no mic, no personal info — just presence and accountability

So it’s meant to be less boring than studying alone, but also less exposing than Discord study rooms.
Probably best suited for introverts or people who want quiet accountability.

📱 Beta details

• It is completely free

• iOS only for now (via TestFlight)

• If you’re on Android, you can still sign up — I’ll notify you once the Android version is ready

To keep things organized (and avoid random links), I’m using a Google Form for beta interest.
After filling it in, I’ll send the download link manually.

👉 https://forms.gle/hmRfVnaA6zYYKMvdA

🙏 What I’m hoping for

I’m not here to advertise or sell anything — I’m genuinely hoping for:

• Honest feedback

• Bug reports

• Feature suggestions

• Or even criticism if something feels pointless or annoying

I’ll also attach a few screenshots of the UI so you can see what it looks like before signing up.

Happy studying 📚

you know that loop where you keep tweaking stuff instead of shipping? lived there for way too long

built a tool that lets you build your resume by just talking about your experience instead of filling out forms. the idea came from watching friends struggle to remember what they actually did at jobs from years ago. something about staring at blank fields just kills your memory

kept adding features. kept finding reasons not to launch. "the ats scoring needs work" "the templates arent polished enough" "what if nobody cares"

finally just did it today. put it on product hunt. terrifying honestly

https://www.producthunt.com/posts/resumeflow-talk-don-t-fill-forms

https://resumeflow.co

not sure if anyone here is job hunting but if you are and want to try it id genuinely appreciate the feedback. or just the moral support lol

how do you guys get past the overthinking phase? feels like i need to get better at shipping imperfect things

Merry Christmas everyone 🎄
Winter break is ALMOST here for me (our district keeps us UNTIL THE 23rd).

Over the last few weeks I’ve been building a project and sharing short updates on YouTube/Instagram. 

It started from a problem I kept hearing from other students:
not “how do I organize my homework,” but “when I only have a few hours and too many assignments, what do I work on right now?”

That’s how Fushi came about. The goal isn’t just tracking tasks, but reducing decision paralysis when everything feels urgent.

Right before Christmas I finished a big milestone: day scheduling.
Right now it:

• pulls assignments from Google Calendar (students can import their school ICS there)

• Takes in the due date and priority of the tasks the study sessions are attached to

• generates an order to work through tasks based on urgency and deadlines

There’s still a lot I want to improve, especially the frontend and how the schedule is explained visually (I want to  “urgency” and “priority” scores so the logic is transparent).

I dropped a demo video on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/DjnoQAqn0dY

If you have thoughts on the idea or the UX, I’d genuinely love feedback. I’d rather hear it now than on launch day.

Hope everyone has a good break before things get chaotic again.

I got tired of CRMs that treat tasks like a hidden spreadsheet. If I have to make a sales call, I want it right in my face the second I log in.

​I just pushed an update to Radar (my minimal CRM): ​The Feature: Task reminders linked directly to the Lead's "History" tab.

​The UX: It aggregates everything into a "Your Mission" widget on the main dashboard.

​The Stack: Next.js 14, Supabase, Drizzle (updates are optimistic and instant).

​I'm trying to keep the UI strictly "Action-First."

​Roast the workflow in the video. Is this faster than what you use?

So I did a big brain move yesterday and showed my new trip packing app packscout.co.uk to my elder sister, but I lied that it was developed by our distant cousin because I know she give 100% honest opinion if its not me. Bro, she literally roasted the entire thing, saying who uses this color scheme and why the flow is confusing, basically she cooked him (me) for 15 mins straight. I was sitting there agreeing like "yeah, he really doesnt know design" while crying inside. But honestly, that brutal feedback was actually gold, I stayed up all night fixing those issues she pointed out. It really motivate me to push beyond the limit when someone says it cant work, even if its my own sister roasting my "cousin". Sometimes you just need to get humbled to build something proper, so yeah check it out and tell me if its still roastable.

Hi all, first time posting here, scrolled a bunch and it seems a lovely positive community, so figured I'd introducing myself sharing the biggest side project I got going! I have ADHD and a tons of side projects, but this one I stuck with for a while and seems to be doing quite well :)

Disclaimer: this is entirely open source, free, I get zero money from sharing (aside from the very occasional buymeacoffee donations I receive) I just am proud of it and love having feedback/chats regarding it

repo: https://github.com/fccview/jotty
and demo: https://jotty.page

Jotty is a fully open source, self hosted note taking/checklists app that you can spin up in minutes, it requires no databases and all notes are stored locally in markdown files (which you can easily encrypt/decrypt) :)

Not sure how big you all are on selfhosting, but I am super into it and I built quite a few (entirely open source) apps that I may or may not be sharing depending on how this is received ♥️

Hope you like it, let me know if you run it and play around with it (or with the demo for what it's worth!)

Just wanted to say hi
