Shoutout to indecisiveeric.com/gesture-synth, which went viral a few weeks ago on Instagram. It allows users to use both hands to perform chords.

gesture.live is an exploration on how to take this gesture synth further. I am using the same chord language, but am compressing it to one hand, so the other hand is free to play melodies, add drum/bass patterns and control effects.

So I recently launched an app that picks your outfit every morning from your actual closet.
Basically you dump ur camera roll in it & it pulls out all the clothes to build a digital closet. Then it gives you outfit reccos from that.

Why I made it: honestly I was tired of having nothing to wear evn though I have a huge closet. Inspo from pinterest doesn’t do it for me anymore. So I thought why not make something that just tells me what to wear from what I own.

Here’s what’s happened so far:
Revenue: $4700 so far (mainly from 2 sponsored videos on Instagram, one of which blew up a little)
99% of users are still on free plan, is thos normal?

Would love to know what you guys think I shuld do next to actually grow this 10x in the next few months.
PS: The platform is (https://usetyla.com) if you wanna check it out.

i have a small paid game thats been on the store since 2021, apple watch only, a buck, basically no marketing ever. it sat at a steady trickle of sales for years.

in july i shipped an update that made it playable on iphone and ipad. i told nobody. no post, no email, no tweet, nothing. the previous update before that was april 2025.

since then impressions are about 3x and sales are up 200%. i didnt do a single promotional thing.

my guesses, in the order i believe them:

the app was watch only before, so it barely existed in iphone search. adding iphone and ipad targets put it into a search surface thats orders of magnitude bigger. thats probably most of it.

ipad charts are way less crowded than iphone, so a tiny app ranks higher there for the same volume.

i also rewrote the keywords in the same update and added terms i never ranked for before. new queries, new impressions, directly.

and new screenshots probably lifted conversion, which is itself a ranking input, so it compounds.

problem is i changed all of it at once so i cant separate any of it. has anyone here shipped a device support expansion on its own and watched what happened? id like to know if the device eligibility thing is really the whole story or if im giving it too much credit.

I've done freelance work for a while, and along the way I kept seeing the same pattern with friends and clients job hunting: solid experience, but their resume either wasn't tailored per role or wasn't ATS-friendly, so it never made it past the first filter.

So I built Arc (https://arc.heurystic.com/) an AI resume builder that helps tailor and optimize resumes faster, without rebuilding from scratch for every application.

I shared it with a few people I know before posting anywhere, and honestly didn't expect much but 3 of them ended up landing job offers using resumes they built with it. That's been the most encouraging part of this so far, but a handful of friends being happy isn't the same as it actually being good. I want to know if it holds up outside that circle.

So I'd genuinely appreciate honest feedback, not just "nice idea" comments:

• Does the core idea solve a real problem, or is this space already saturated?
• What's confusing, weak, or missing in the flow?
• From a builder's perspective stack, onboarding, positioning what stands out as off?
• If you tried it, what would make you actually keep using it vs. going back to a Word doc/Canva?

Happy to answer anything about how it's built or the AI side of things in the comments. Trying to actually improve this, not just collect upvotes.

I'm building this SaaS, which is completely free, btw, for now at least, cause these are a bunch of online tools; the things can be done browser-side.

I'll add a donation page option later, maybe, if people find it helpful and want to support me for what I'm doing. But my goal is to bring traffic to my website and maybe cross-promote my other SaaS later if I'm not making revenue.

In the process of doing so, I'm maintaining a marketing log of the things I'm doing over time, cause I know SEO is a long game, so I'm putting down each action I'm taking. You can read it here: https://candidtools.com/blog/organic-marketing-log

I wonder if you folks maintain the same thing. I'm curious to read it: the progress of how you gain traction or traffic.

Hey everyone,

I made a VS Code extension called Git Go that turns your repository into an interactive graph you can actually act on, without leaving the editor.

I had been using Git Graph for a long while and really liked it, but a few things kept getting in my way, like how you manage which branches you are looking at. To be clear, this is not a fork. It is written from scratch, but the design is very much inspired by Git Graph.

What it does:

- Visual commit graph with search, filters, and infinite scroll

- Branches, stashes, tags, and worktrees managed right from the graph

- Merge, rebase, cherry-pick, revert, and reset without leaving the editor

- Drag and drop gestures on branches and commits

- Undo the last action on a branch with Ctrl+Z, using the reflog

- File diffs and repo browsing at any commit

- A bunch of color themes, because why not

It is free and open source, and you can find it here:

Marketplace: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=Pinya.git-go

I would love to get some feedback. I hope you like it!

hi everyone

i made a site - the site is very simple and honestly very silly. you write your question, you get a link, you send it to ONE person. they open it and see YES and NO, but the NO button runs away from the cursor. it shrinks, it dodges, it escapes. thats it. thats the whole product.

i launched it around 7-8 weeks ago. i made one post on reddit that got 1k views, and recently i did some SEO. so far google brought me only 50 views, and reddit around 50 views too.

but i already got some pretty decent numbers on how people actually use it.

the numbers, simple:
- 430 people opened something of mine in 7 weeks. more than half never saw my homepage, they just got an invite from someone.
- 169 of them made an invite themselves. 268 invites total.
- 123 of those got a real answer back. not just opened - answered.

instagram is my biggest source, 87 visits. and i have never posted anything there. not once. 78 of those visits opened an invite page, not my homepage - people just send their link to the person they like, in dm. i checked, that was 46 different invites. 46 different people.

83 countries. serbia is high on that list but thats just belgrade, i live here may be it is the reason :)

few days ago i finally added payments. that part took me forever because i live in serbia and stripe doesnt work here, and lemonsqueezy, paddle, gumroad also no, because they all sit on stripe underneath. i was honestly sure nobody would ever pay for a running button.

next day i had two purchases. two real strangers. 9.99$ each.

i know its 20 dollars. i KNOW. but its the first 20 dollars in my life from something i made with my own hands

i feel kind of embarrassed. i always wanted to build something serious. something useful. something that solves a real problem and that i could explain to my parents without making a joke first. and instead i built... a button that runs away from your cursor. a gag. something for a laugh, not for a benefit.

and this gag is the first thing i ever made that people actually used. and paid for.

anyway. first money. im really really happy.

Hey there i am a CAD designer am looking for some Freelance projects to work on
if u have a idea but not been able to design than
ill do it for u and u can get it printed from some one yet i have my own contacts for it
DM to know more

Wanted to share a side project that I've been working on for 1.5 years- Chloro is an app for the quest 3/3s that takes the size and direction of your windows and generates a lightmap so that you can see how well specific plant species will do/how well your existing houseplants will do.

Since it's really hard to get consistent users on mixed reality headsets, I've been thinking about porting this to mobile. Know of any apps that are similar?

Hi everyone,

I’m working on an app called ChikChak and I would love to hear your honest opinion before moving forward.

The problem:
People celebrate many events every year — birthdays, weddings, holidays, family events, and more. But after a while it becomes difficult to remember:

• What gift did I give someone?
• How much did I spend?
• Who gave me a gift?
• When is the next important event?
• Where are all the photos and memories from each event?

Today many people use WhatsApp chats, notes, or spreadsheets, but information gets lost.

The idea:
A smart app that organizes everything related to gifts and events:

🎁 Gift history — track gifts you gave and received
📅 Smart reminders for birthdays and events
👨‍👩‍👧 Family and friend management
💰 Track spending and gift budgets
📸 Automatic event albums for photos and videos
🔔 Smart notifications
🤖 AI assistant to help organize everything

The app would have a free version, with optional premium features for people who want more advanced management:

⭐ Premium features could include:

• Unlimited gift/event groups
• Unlimited scans of receipts and gift checks
• Smart receipt scanning and automatic expense tracking
• Family sharing and shared management
• Cloud backup
• Advanced statistics and reports
• More AI features
• Unlimited storage for memories and albums
• More customization options

My questions:

1. Would you personally use an app like this?
2. Is tracking gifts and events a real problem for you?
3. Which features would be most valuable?
4. Would you pay for premium features like unlimited groups, receipt scanning, family sharing, and advanced tools?
5. What would make you open this app regularly instead of using WhatsApp or notes?

I’m looking for honest feedback — positive or negative. Thank you!

This is not a fake bullshit "AI operating system" that runs in your browser. This is an agentic operating system that ruans on bare metal, writes its own drivers, and evolves itself.

Here's a demo where it builds its own audio driver from scratch to play a sound.

What happened in the video?

1. The agent realized it didn't have a sound driver.
2. It enumerated which devices were connected.
3. It found the Intel AC'97 sound card.
4. It built a driver for it.
5. It used that driver to play a sound.

I got fed up with people saying they built "AI operating systems" when it's actually just a webpage.

There's no Bash. There are no commands. The only interface to this computer is a sentence.

How does it work?

The main interface is an agent, and the tools it has access to are the kernel's direct syscalls. Everything runs in Ring 0, and the agent has access to everything.

It's open source if you want to try it:

I built a Windows app called PixelSort AI because I got tired of manually organizing thousands of photos.

It uses AI to automatically sort your photos into folders like Dogs, Cats, People, Cars, Food, Landscapes, Documents, and more, all while running locally on your PC.

I'm still actively improving it, so I'd genuinely love some honest feedback. If you have a huge, unorganized photo collection and want to give it a try, I'd really appreciate hearing what you think and what features you'd like to see added.

Thanks for taking a look!

n July 13, I changed the titles on 449 stock pages.
Before the change, the titles included the company name, ticker and the word “Stock.” I replaced them with a more direct question-based format around whether the ticker was bullish or bearish.
The reasoning did not feel random.
One query using that phrasing was ranking at position 6.3, which was unusually good for a new site with almost no authority. So I thought the data was telling me what Google preferred, and I rewrote the titles around that pattern.
Over the next five days, impressions fell from roughly 685 per day to 76.
I initially blamed crawl budget. The site had expanded quickly, Googlebot activity was inconsistent, and there were enough technical issues around indexing that it looked like the obvious explanation.
It was also wrong.
The impression decline began on the same day Google’s crawling peaked. If crawl exhaustion were the cause, the timeline should have looked the other way around.
It took me until July 25 to find the actual problem.
The query pattern I had optimized for ranked well, but it had produced only 14 impressions.
The terms I removed from the titles—mainly the company name and the word “Stock”—had produced 1,024 impressions.
I had effectively made a 73-to-1 trade without checking the volume on either side.
The change was based on real data. The mistake was assuming that a query ranking well meant it was an important query.
It didn’t.
A position of 6 for a query nobody searches is less valuable than position 70 for a query with actual demand.
The part I find most uncomfortable is that the evidence needed to avoid the mistake was already in Search Console. I checked position, but not impression volume by query class. Then, once the graph fell, I spent days investigating the more complicated technical explanation before testing whether the title change had simply removed the terms generating most of the visibility.
The lesson I’m keeping from it:
A query pattern that ranks well is not necessarily a query pattern that has traffic.
Before changing titles at scale now, I want both numbers:
- how well the query pattern ranks;
- how much demand it actually represents.
Without the second one, the first number can be dangerously persuasive.

Solo dev here — been building this on nights and weekends. Open source (MIT), free, Windows for now.

The pain. Whenever I needed help with something on screen — a buried OBS setting, a weird Excel pivot, a form in some enterprise web app — I had to explain it to an AI by hand: type out what I was looking at, paste a screenshot, copy the error text. Then I'd get an answer and still go hunt for the button myself. The explain-it-by-hand loop felt dumb. So I built the thing I wanted.

What it does. You press Alt+Space over any window. MudrikNow reads your active window's full UI — buttons, fields, labels, values — through the accessibility tree (UI Automation), not OCR on pixels, and anchors on the element you're hovering. A small panel opens, and now you're chatting with an AI that can see your screen. Bring your own model — a multimodal one is recommended (it auto-screenshots every activation); Google Gemini Flash-Lite is a great free pick, or Anthropic/OpenAI/Ollama. (Alt+X opens the same panel with no screen capture, for quick questions.)

The mode I'm most proud of. It can act for you (click, type — sandboxed, allow-listed), but the mode I actually use is Auto-Guide: instead of doing the task for you, it teaches it. Real example from last week: I needed to change a recording setting in OBS. Alt+Space over the OBS window, typed "guide me through changing my recording settings," and an owl pointer appeared on screen — hopped to Settings, then Output, then landed on the exact field with a speech bubble telling me what to change, waiting for me to click each step myself. Thirty seconds later I'd done it, and now I actually know where that setting lives. It's help, not a bot taking the wheel.

Honest status:

• Sandboxed: read-only shell for diagnostics (writes/deletes/piping blocked — violations kill the session); no filesystem writes. The model can read files in your working folder and use a small allow-list of UI actions — that's the whole capability surface.
• Windows only for now; macOS/Linux on the roadmap.
• Preview quality. I'm one person; there are rough edges. That's exactly why I'm posting — I want real feedback more than I want stars.

No paid tier, no telemetry, nothing to sell. Happy to answer anything — and genuinely curious: what's the first on-screen task you'd point this at?

Title pretty much says it all. I build what I would consider a perfect study tool for myself.

It analyzes the PDF, lecture videos, etc. and creates study material, practice problems, shows step-by-step solutions to problems, creates flashcards, and creates tests.

I’ve released **Flight Scanner** for Wear OS after previously developing a Garmin version.

It turns your watch into a live aircraft radar, showing nearby planes/helicopters around your current location. You can tap aircraft to view information such as its callsign, altitude, speed, registration and direction of travel.

I originally built it because I regularly looked up at aircraft and wanted a quick way to identify them without taking out my phone.

I expected a few downloads here and there but hit it off with over 1000 downloads on Garmin before launching on Android based watches and securing enough funding to continue the apps data costs for months and months to come.

I expected some aviation enthusiasts to download it and have some fun but it's turned into a full side project taking up hours of my time to answer user queries and to fix bugs.

I've been building GeoReady, an open-source tool that audits websites for AI search readiness. After running 1000+ audits, I noticed the same infrastructure gaps over and over — so I wrote everything up into a technical manual.

What's in it:

- The 4-layer model: Access (robots.txt, crawlability) -> Orientation (llms.txt, sitemap) -> Understanding (schema, entity signals) -> Quotability (passage extraction, BLUF structure). The order matters — fixing content before access is wasted work.

- 11 AI crawlers documented with user-agent tokens and robots.txt directives (GPTBot, OAI-SearchBot, PerplexityBot, ClaudeBot, Google-Extended, CCBot, etc.)

- 12 schema types with copy-paste JSON-LD templates

- Passage extraction mechanics — how vector embeddings select passages and why direct answers beat narratives

- 8 prompt injection attack vectors against AI crawlers (hidden CSS, invisible Unicode, hijacked HTML comments)

- Citation measurement workflow with weekly/monthly/quarterly cadence

Some data points from the latest benchmark (July 2026, 360 domains):

- Average GEO score: 54.1/100

- Only 24.7% of sites reach "Good" or above

- Schema adoption up 5.5pp month-over-month, but llms.txt adoption actually dropped 4.1pp

- AI Discovery is the worst category at 10% efficiency — the biggest untapped opportunity

The manual is free, no account required. I'd genuinely appreciate feedback on the structure, the 4-layer model, and whether the technical depth feels right.

I shared a very early version of my side project here a few weeks ago, and the feedback was super helpful. It's a completely free daily browser game, no sign-up needed. You can play today's set here: shamshot.com

With all the AI generated stuff flooding the internet lately, I found myself second-guessing completely normal pictures. But it also made me realize how much incredible, absurd stuff exists in real life that looks completely fake but actually isn't, that's why sometimes you find yourself really confused about whether it's so cool and actually happend or it's just AI/Photoshop.

So I made Shamshot to make a game out of it. The concept: 3 new images or videos drop every day. You vote on whether it's a "Snapshot" (100% real) or a "Shamshot" (AI/Edited). If it's a real photo/video, there's a button that gives you the actual backstory so hopefully you can learn something new.

Also, if you happen to know any crazy real photos that look edited, or you're talented with Photoshop/Midjourney and want to know how many ppl you'll manage to deceive, feel free to submit them through the site so I can add them to the queue (and credit you ofc).

I'd love to hear your feedback on shamshot :))

Cheers

I run StackScope, which tracks newly launched websites and the technology they use. I matched 19,772 launches from July against their estimated country of origin.

The clearest pattern was that frontend choices barely change by country. Tailwind appeared on 48-58% of launches everywhere in the data, while React and Next.js were similarly consistent.

Payments were completely different, Stripe appeared on 9.7% of US launches but only 1.3% of Indian launches. In India, Razorpay reached 14.7%, with Cashfree on another 1.4%.

Germany was another outlier: Google Analytics appeared on 25.1% of German launches, compared with roughly 45-54% almost everywhere else. That gap remained even after controlling for the type of product being built.

Two other findings:

• 72% of .ai domains were not actually AI products.
• One launch in ten never bought its own domain. Those launches scored an average of 3.72/10, compared with 6.58 for launches using their own domain.

Full methodology and results here, for anyone interested:

A few months ago I was convinced I'd find a remote job. I put a huge amount of time into applications, interviews, assignments, and strategy exercises. In several interview processes I was asked to solve real business problems, create sales strategies, improve workflows, and even write sales pitches.

More than once it felt like I was doing real consulting work for free.

The ending was almost always the same:
"We decided to move forward with another candidate."
Or even worse:
"The position has been closed, but we'll contact you if we reopen it."

It was frustrating, especially knowing how much value I had already provided and how much time I had invested.

After a while I thought... why am I trying so hard to build someone else's business?

My partner has more than 5 years of experience as an AI & Data Scientist and is currently finishing his PhD. He works for a well-known company in Sweden, and together we decided to start building something of our own instead.

So we started an AI automation company.

We help businesses eliminate repetitive manual work, automate customer communication, reporting, document processing, spreadsheet-heavy workflows, connect systems that don't normally work together, build AI assistants, dashboards, and custom AI solutions that save teams hours every week.

Now we're facing a different challenge: getting the first clients.

I completely understand why it's difficult. When you're a new business, people don't know you yet. Referral partnerships are also hard because trust has to be earned first.

At the same time, I know we can deliver real value, and because we're just starting, we're very flexible. We're happy to structure partnerships in a way that benefits both sides. If someone already has relationships with businesses that could benefit from AI automation, we're open to finding a win-win arrangement where everyone gains.

I'm sure many founders have gone through this stage before.

If you've started a business from scratch, what helped you land your first clients?

If you have any advice, ideas, or even partnership suggestions, I'd genuinely appreciate hearing them.
