I made Edge Control, an app for Android devices that lets you change the volume and brightness of your device by sliding your finger along the left and right edges of your screen. This makes it much easier to change volume and brightness much quicker, instead of having to press, for example, the volume-down button a bunch of times or pull down your Notification Center.

An app that compares the price of an item you search for. Would also notify you on sales of items you have on your list

For a while now im looking to get a normal fashionable watch going with my Apple Watch.
I imagine that you see from the front side the normal watch and on the inside the Apple watch to track your metrics. This would also help me still being able to read the time when i ran out of battery again.

I'm currently exploring an idea aimed at addressing some of the common pain points experienced by digital marketers, especially concerning email marketing. Many solutions out there don't offer the flexibility or control that marketers often need, particularly when dealing with the limitations imposed by third-party email service providers.

The Concept:
The service would provide a dedicated email infrastructure for marketers. This includes dedicated SMTP servers and possibly integrating enhanced features like VPS for improved performance and security + marketing automation tool for managing contacts and email campaigns . The idea is to give users complete control over their email campaigns without the restrictions typically faced with traditional ESPs.

Here’s what we’re considering:

• Dedicated SMTP servers to ensure reliable email delivery
• Private VPS to enhance security and control
• Scalable options depending on the size and needs of the business
• Marketing Automation Tool - For managing campaigns

I'm looking to the community here to help validate some of these points:

1. Control & Flexibility: How important is it to have full control over your email infrastructure? Have you faced issues with current providers that a dedicated service might solve?
2. Security Concerns: With rising security demands, would a private setup increase your trust in using such a platform?
3. Customization Needs: Are there specific features or customizations that you feel are lacking in current email marketing services?
4. Potential Barriers: What are some potential barriers or concerns you might have about using a service like this?

Any insights, experiences, or feedback you could provide would be incredibly valuable.

Not self promo, not asking for a single penny in return.

I am a mid level software engineer at a fortune 10 company and enjoy building tools for myself & others that solve real world problems. Work has been pretty laid back lately, so I'm looking to build something for fun in my free time. Whether you're an early stage startup, business owner, or just someone with an idea, feel free to pitch something that you'd like to have built & we can make it come true together. DMs are open, feel free.

"The ultimate gag (order) gift"

You're just selling small empty bottles with screw-on lids, but advertising that they have presidential farts in them.

It's obviously a gag gift. And it will only be popular for about a week, until the media stops reporting on *somebody* farting in court while he sleeps.

But news outlets might pick up on this as a humorous story, so you'd get free advertising. And a small percentage of people seeing the story will Google it, find your website, and order one to send to their friends, relatives, or just for themselves because it's so ridiculous. So you'd make some money!

I just read the Million Dollar Weekend and i am pumped to start a new project/business...What can I solve thats a problem for you? someone give me some ideas.

and then export as spreadsheets or text files. The big three applications so far are extracting numerical values over time, converting videos of presentation slideshows to a text file, and grabbing (and optionally translating) on-screen captions and saving as a spreadsheet over time.
Play with the demo at Textractify.com and I'd love to get your ideas of who could use this!

Smartbells could also keep track of how many reps you perform on them.

They could connect to an associated app on your smartphone.

They could keep track of your vital health stats (heartrate, oxygen level, calories spent, etc.) through your hands while you exercise with them.

They could show a small screen on either side of the smartbells.

You could add more ideas about what could go into a smartbell.

What would it take to get these made?

Was looking online for a weld polishing tool for hard to reach areas. I have multiple small brushes and wheels, but, often I find that I can't achieve the right leverage or stroke length to effectively polish an area. In a food grade environment, all welds must be sanitary and smooth, and in some cases it can be very frustrating to achieve the proper finish.

What if we had a tool, similar to an electric toothbrush, but, replace the plastic bristles with stainless steel. There could be a variety of easily switchable heads to swap out when needed. Maybe even a head with scotch brite pads or another with cloth to use with polishing compound.

I have this problem at work which seems to be a bit complicated due to our custom WooCommerce store and messiness of how products can be packaged into

• 1 box (pre-boxed mattress, pre-boxed weighted blanket, etc),

• multi boxes (i.e. 3 pillowcases, 2 bed sheets can go into 1 parcel),

• 1 product like a bed frame can be broken down into 3 of 3 boxes, etc.

Then based on inventory we select the closest warehouse that has everything in stock (with the exception of bed frames they are prioritized by the closest origin, even if the extra items in their order aren't in stock at that place)

• Many couriers offer multi-parcel discounts but in the case of a bed frame it's better to have the 3 big boxes from a bed frame ship from Alberta to BC and their other not-in-stock items to ship from Ontario to BC rather than the entire order shipping from Ontario to BC (this only happens if Alberta does not carry everything and it happens to be the closest origin)

In a perfect world I want a program that would rate shop every possible scenario based on our inventory and give us the cheapest courier. Additional features could include generating a shipping label, customs invoice, exporting to excel, etc.

I.e. a customer orders a queen bed frame (comes in 2 boxes) and 2 bed sheets.

Product 1: BFQUEEN-MIDNIGHTBLUE Product 2: SHEETSET-COPPER Product 3: SHEETSET-WHITE

STOCK

RATE SHOP: Loop through every possible scenario.

In this case it would be 3 total boxes -> BOX1, BOX2 of bed frame and box 3 of 10x13x5 and weight is sum of the 2 items at 6 lbs total (3 lbs each).

If you looped through every scenario then there would be case of 4 boxes in a case where the sheet sets got split in one of the combinations. Obviously though this would be an expensive shipping cost and wouldn't be the optimal choice.

Then output the optimal shipment details, origin details, rates.

If this customer lived in BC from my experience there's a good chance the optimal option would be

BOX1 and BOX2 - FedEx from Alberta warehouse BOX 3 - UPS from Ontario warehouse

or there's a chance with the multi-parcel discount shipping the entire order from Ontario could be cheaper

BOX1,2,3 - FedEx from Ontario warehouse

I always wanted to learn how to sell, but to who??

And all over the internet, it is said to just start calling and practice your pitch to customers. The problem is I don't have anything to sell, let alone someone to sell to. I can invent something to sell to someone, that's easy. But to find someone to sell it is another problem.

So I turned to chatGPT to practice my skills. But, I needed to constantly refine how chatGPT needed to act/react and talked, for me to have the full experience of a real call.

I thought I'm probably not the only one who have this problem, So I created a mini platform to practice with different AI, in different categories. Like Life insurances, Car Dealerships, Real Estate, etc.

You can relisten to the conversation, analyse it, create a new ai assistant with your own information, take notes, etc.

I think its pretty cool.

I am responsible for our company's website, and we need to create a map with multiple locations.

The only solution on the market doesn't have clickable pins (Snazzy Maps)

I need an easy, low-code solution to plug in the addresses, do light styling, and embed it on my Webflow website.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as well if that's on the market.

Hey everyone, I wanted to share my journey on creating my own SaaS (as a developer) because I couldn't afford the offering that was out there. I own an automation agency and like many business owners, I came across software that I thought would help my business grow. However, I was stopped by steep pricing. Instead of giving up, I decided to build it myself. Here's my story:

Initial Spark and Sticker Shock

It all began with a tweet by Jake Ward about SEO heisting—a tactic that uses repurposed competitor content to drive massive traffic. Jake's post revealed an impressive feat: redirecting 3.6 million visits to his site using this strategy. The tool behind this success? Byword. It piqued my interest, but the cost was a barrier—nearly $4 per article for a $100 monthly subscription. This pricing was out of reach for many small businesses, including my own consulting firm. You can find the tweet here.

Deep Dive into Existing Solutions

Intrigued by the potential of SEO heisting but deterred by the cost, I decided to explore Byword’s capabilities through its free plan. What I found was a system that heavily relied on automated, superficial content generation techniques:

Generic Content: Byword generated articles based on keywords and titles, but these often lacked depth and context, making them less effective at engaging readers and improving SEO in the long term.

High Cost, Low Value: Despite the high cost, the articles required significant revisions to meet quality standards, demanding additional time and resources.

Building a Better Solution

Coming from a software development background and convinced that I could improve upon Byword's model, I set out to create a tool that would not only be more cost-effective but also produce higher quality content. Here’s how I approached it:

Research-First Methodology: Using Perplexity, I implemented a system that prioritizes up-to-date, relevant data as the foundation for all content. This ensures that articles are not only SEO-friendly but also factually accurate and valuable to readers.

Logical Structure and Quality: Leveraging OpenAI’s capabilities, I developed a feature to construct logically sound frameworks for articles, ensuring that each piece has a coherent structure that enhances readability and engagement.

Enhanced Content Quality: With the help of the Clawed API, the tool refines the initial drafts into polished, detailed articles that are ready for publication without the need for extensive manual editing.

Innovative Features and User-Centric Design

Beyond just creating optimized content, I integrated features that address the specific pain points of SEO professionals:

Automated Competitor Analysis: The software scans competitor sitemaps daily, automatically suggesting potential content heists. This not only saves time but also keeps the user's content strategy as current as possible.

Cost-Effective Scaling: By automating and streamlining these processes, I significantly reduced the cost per article, making high-quality SEO accessible for businesses of all sizes.

Challenges Along the Way

Looking to the Future

Developing this tool was not without its challenges. Balancing technical development with an intuitive user interface was crucial. Ensuring that the software was both powerful and easy to use required iterative testing and feedback. Additionally, maintaining affordability without compromising on the functionality demanded innovative solutions and careful resource management.

I honestly didn't think this project would turn into something I wanted as a product (more so for internal use for myself), but it's crazy how things play out. If you'd like to follow the project, please check it out here.

Also feel free to ask me anything about the process, the build, etc. Always happy to help!!

Even better if it's a 360° cam worn atop a hat.

I am conducting an experiment out of my own need. Would you pay a subscription to receive a basic black polo shirt every month (or as often as you like)?

It would guarantee that you would always have a versatile and essential garment without having to go out and buy it or order it. Without it shrinking or disintegrating.

I read you!

During this weekend, I developed this website called aideagen.com using the OpenAI API to help users quickly generate creative ideas. Built with Laravel and Vue.js, this simple one-page app aims to provide ideas for new projects. I'm seeking feedback on its utility or any suggestions on additional features that could enhance its usefulness. Check out here: aideagen.com

I've been learning web development and for practice I created GamesRadar, a simple website where you can find the latest gaming giveaways from multiple platforms like Epic, Steam, GOG, itch.io etc. and free to play PC/Browser video games. Check it out and let me know what you think.

As a folicolly challenged man I have to shave my own head a couple of times a week and often can have areas on the back of my head that I miss because I can't see and have to go by feel alone.

Has anyone solved this?

This might already exist, but idk. Basically, a web integration where there is a place to upload a file, a list of any form you want to convert it into, and a submit button.

Let's say I upload a word doc. I can select, from the list, JPEG, PDF, google doc, etc. And then click submit. It generates all of these files for me at once. The main benefit of this, I think, is not having to go back and forth if you want multiple forms of the same file.

Since, we're all on a similar boat, I'm starting an accountability/mastermind group on Discord for entrepreneurs to make sure that we are focused on solving problems and that we can keep one another accountable. We'll be doing daily stand ups, wins and weekly check ins. If you're interested, please DM me or leave a comment.
