Just here asking for an opinion:

I’m currently building a product designed for anyone who uses payment processors like Stripe, Paddle, Square (and more to be added). Here’s the gist:

1. Sign up and Connect: Users can securely log in via their preferred payment processor (Stripe, Paddle, Square, etc.).
2. Share and Track Metrics: Get a dedicated page (subdomain, probably your own domain too at some point) where you can share and showcase your revenue metrics.
3. Customization and Insights: Metrics tracking is flexible, letting you choose the specific data points you want to monitor and share. Think of it as a quick dashboard with sharable options for indie developers, SaaS founders, creators, etc., to show their growth and metrics, providing value and motivation for new founders.

My Questions for You:

• Would you find such a product useful?
• What kind of revenue metrics or features would make this more valuable for you?
• Would you use this for sharing publicly, or do you see more value in private insights for self-tracking and improvement?

Looking forward to your feedback! Any input is greatly appreciated.

Hey everyone! 👋

I recently built a project called MeetAt to address a common issue I’ve faced: scheduling meetups with friends or colleagues across different time zones. While there are some scheduling tools out there, I found that many lack proper time zone support, a mobile-friendly design, and collaborative features for easy group planning.

Key Features of MeetAt:

• Time Zone Flexibility: Automatically converts availability into each participant's local time, making it easier to find overlap.
• Mobile-Friendly Design: Prioritizes a responsive, user-friendly experience on both mobile and desktop.
• Real-Time Availability Polls: Allows users to see voting results as they happen, making it easier to decide on the best time.
• Collaboration Support: Built to make group scheduling smoother and more intuitive.

My Question to You:
Would you use a tool like this for scheduling hangouts, work meetups, or other events? Are there any other features you think would make it even more helpful?

Thanks for your feedback! 😊

Apparently 50% of reddit are US users. Dude, I don't care. The election is over. I don't care who trump wants to play Minecraft with. I really don't. He's "something something" that's really bad. Cool, it doesn't affect me. You morons voted for it. Don't make it my problem, because it isn't. Can someone make a plugin or a way to block all US related posts?

I would download any plugin that does this. We, the normal people of the world, shouldn't suffer 4 years of US politics. Like an ads block but for non US people. Did trump say something racist? Omg, blocked. I don't care, show me some stupid cat video please.

Side project folks: how do you keep your side project on track when personal appointments or calls get in the way of productivity? Open to any tools or techniques that have helped you stay focused!

For background, similar to a lot of you I saw the election results and was shocked. The effects of extreme conservative control on all three branches of government will be felt in the US for the next 30 years. I believe that for many young people it is time to have a hard conversation on if it is worthwhile to continue to put down roots in a place which no longer represents their values and beliefs.

2024 also proved Climate Change is very real and its effects are already being felt in dramatic fashion. There are large amount of areas across the world that for numerous reasons will either be uncomfortable, uninsurable, or completely uninhabitable. These individuals will need to move to climate havens and we're already seeing migrations begin across the globe.

With these factors in mind, meet eXpatAI. The goal of the platform is to simplify and automate the visa submission and approval process.

Each user will first complete a questionnaire detailing what matters most to them socially, economically, and geographically. The platform will then analyze over 100 data points of each country and share the top 3 which are the best overall fit from a safety, economic, and cultural viewpoint. Once one is selected it will automatically submit the necessary documents for the Visa application using the most likely method of success based on the individual.

Let me know your thoughts! We're still in early stages but if interested feel free to pre-register for updates!

I'll start 🙌

My side project: Showcases developer portfolios examples uploaded from real developers by our community, no fluff, no complicated account setup, just sign in and upload your link; we handle the rest.

Our competitors: Typically, when browsing for developer portfolios you'll be met with blogs that showcase the same popular portfolios from other blogs, leaving no room for inspiration. Sites like dribbble that do showcase developer portfolios are designed by designers, not practical for a developer just starting out!

Hey r/SideProjects!

Ever feel that tiny burst of satisfaction when you skip a YouTube ad the second it becomes available? I turned that into a competitive sport.

What it does:

- Measures your reaction time when skipping YouTube ads (current record: 0.310s)

- Ranks you on a global leaderboard

- Shows your personal best times and stats

- Works on any Chromium browser (Chrome, Edge, Arc, etc.)

Built this in 48 hours to demo for a few friends:

- Chrome Extension

- Next.js + React

- Supabase for the real-time leaderboard

- Tailwind + shadcn/ui

Try it out: https://ytskip.whyismynamerudy.tech

Getting started is simple:

1. Download the extension from the Chrome Web Store (link on site)

2. Sign in with Google on the website

3. Start skipping ads!

The fun part has been seeing people actually compete for the fastest skip times. It's fascinating to see how quick human reaction time can be when it comes to skipping ads 😅

Would love to hear your thoughts/feedback, especially on:

1. What features would make the competition more interesting?

2. Is there a theoretical limit to how fast someone can skip an ad?

For months I have been thinking of some aesthetic clinic finder app which exactly shows me the price and the meaning of some procedures like PRF etc like if I am new to the aesthetics it should tell me using the camera scan what procedures I can do with nearest clinics with discounts and showing me a before and after images of eg a lip filler procedure. with pain levels clearly mentioned. What do you think of something like this?

How many people are going through the trouble of creating a business entity for their side projects? I'm in the U.S. and am fairly intimidated by the idea of collecting money, taxes, or having "terms of use" on something connected to me personally. But on the flipside it doesn't really make sense to go through the hassle when still vetting an idea. I'm considering setting up a fairly generic LLC/sole proprietorship that "owns" any and all projects I might start. Is this a good idea? Curious to hear how folks usually navigate this.

Hey i'm trying to get feedback or someone to validate the idea.

So last month I got hit with like $47 in subscription charges I totally forgot about (Netflix, Prime, you know the drill...). After saying "damn it, not again" for the hundredth time, I decided to build something for myself.

It's pretty simple - I made an web app called "Did I Pay?" that:

• Shows all my subscriptions in one place
• Tells me exactly how much I'm spending monthly/yearly
• Actually reminds me BEFORE I get charged (7/3/1 days heads up)

I'm not trying to reinvent the wheel here - just wanted something straightforward that does one job well: telling me when my subscriptions are due before my wallet gets surprised.

Here's what it looks like:

Would love to hear:

• Is this something you'd actually use?
• What would make it more useful for you?
• Am I the only one with this problem? 😅

Be brutal - I can take it!

I made it to see what would happen if I streamed HTML generated by LLM directly into browser. The result is satisfying (at least to me). Under the hood, when a user hits "Run", an iframe pointing to the API endpoint is created, which then prompts gpt-4o to generate HTML document based on user's prompt. The backend filters out any non-html parts from token stream and streams the generated document back to client with Content-Type: text/html; header. So, as far as browser concerned, it just loads a regular HTML page. The progressive rendering paints the document as soon as new chunks are loaded resulting in the cool "animation" of page being built in real time.

It isn't publicly available yet and I don't know if I should release it. I'm not sure a project like this could survive for long. ChatGPT and Claude are a couple of major updates away from making it obsolete anyway. What do you think?

I've been validating an idea for an AI-powered newsletter tool, Newzlio. Instead of building blindly, I decided to:

1. Create a landing page

2. Run Google Ads to gather interest

3. Survey potential users

After getting ~500 email signups and a detailed survey, here are the key insights:

📊 Newsletter Creation Stats:

- 40% publish daily

- 33.3% publish weekly

- 60% spend 2-5 hours weekly on content creation

- 23.3% spend less than 2 hours

🔥 Biggest Challenges:

1. Coming up with new ideas (60%)

2. Writing engaging content (33.3%)

3. Understanding audience preferences (33.3%)

4. Maintaining consistency (16.7%)

5. Time management (16.7%)

📈 How Writers Measure Success:

1. Subscriber growth (46.7%)

2. Open rates (36.7%)

3. Social media shares (33.3%)

4. Click-through rates (23.3%)

5. Direct reader feedback (26.7%)

4. Time efficiency is crucial (majority spending 2-5 hours/week)

Questions:

1. What other features would you want in an AI newsletter tool?

2. Are you currently using any AI tools for your newsletter? What's working/not working?

After years of starting side projects only to watch them stall at the 80% mark, I’ve finally brought one all the way to market.

This project fell into place in a way my previous ones haven’t. I think the difference was that I built something to meet my own needs and received strong positive feedback right away.

To get it out of the way: I made Hall Pass https://hallpass.fyi

As a parent with a young child in daycare, I’m constantly sifting through hard-to-read newsletters, trying to track all the upcoming events like excursions and celebrations. Not wanting to miss another event—or read another newsletter—I created a tool that allows me to forward emails to a special address. It then uses AI to pull out event details and automatically add them to my calendar.

After building it for myself, I mentioned it to a few other parents who loved the concept. Realizing there was a broader need, I decided to turn it into a product.

I’m really proud of what it does so far — school communications are notoriously varied, but I think it does a good job extracting accurate data. Based on feedback, I’ve added filters that let users customize what types of events are added to the calendar using natural language.

The next big step for me is marketing, which is a bit new in the context of my personal projects. Word of mouth has been effective through some parent WhatsApp groups, and I’ve added a referral system to encourage it. I’m also considering running ads on Reddit in parenting subreddits, but I’d love any suggestions for parenting groups, websites, or other places where this could gain traction.

Any feedback on the concept, pricing, or website itself would be really welcome! This subreddit has been a big source of inspiration and motivation for me, so I’d love to hear any recommendations the community might have.

Thanks for reading!

PS: Working with the AI backend has been... an adventure. I initially used OpenAI, switched to Google Gemini, then to Anthropic. Now, with the Haiku 3.5 price hike, I’m considering moving back to Google. 🫠

As a developer and someone who loves helping kids learn, I recently created an app called Kids Math Lab to make practicing math enjoyable for young learners! It's designed to help kids master the basics — addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division — through fun and interactive challenges.

With simple, bright visuals and a kid-friendly design, my goal was to make math practice feel more like a game than homework. If anyone's interested in trying it out with their kids, it's now available on Google Play Store for Android phones and tablets. I'd love to hear your feedback and see how it works for your family!

I have been wanting to get a meaningfull phrase tattooed on my for a while, but as a line graph of the letters ASCII numbers. It's always a pain to make the graph whenever I lose it, so I made this tonight.

Added some other visualation techniques too.

Hope someone else has a use for it.

Hey everyone!

I wanted to share a tool I’ve been working on that might be helpful for those needing quick and customizable survey generation. It’s called AI Survey Generator (available at survey.personno.ai), and it’s designed for anyone who frequently needs to gather feedback or insights—whether you’re a marketer, startup founder, or researcher.

The tool lets you create surveys based on specific topics, choose the number and type of questions, and even generate surveys directly from PDF documents. This can save a lot of time, especially if you have reports or research papers that you’d like to turn into questionnaires for easy data collection.

Here’s a bit about how it works:

• Customizable by Topic and Question Type: Input the topic, select how many questions you need, and the tool will generate them accordingly.
• PDF Processing: If you already have documents with relevant content, just upload them, and the generator will pull out key points to create survey questions.

I built it to be flexible for different kinds of data collection, so if you’re looking to get feedback from customers, run a quick survey for a study, or even do internal feedback collection, it might be useful.

Would love to hear any thoughts or feedback! If you’d like to check it out, you can visit it at survey.personno.ai. Thanks!

I launched url2sheet.xyz to make pulling tabular data from websites simple.

After spending far too long trying to find a tool which does this well I've decided to make my own,
Let me know what you think!

I'm building "Did I Pay?" - a subscription tracker that helps you manage to remember all your digital subscriptions in one place. I'd love to get your feedback on this idea.

Key features:

• Dashboard showing all your active subscriptions
• Payment reminders 7 and 3 days before due dates
• Monthly/yearly spending overview
• Simple interface to track payment dates and amounts

Here's why I built it: I was tired of getting surprised by subscription charges and losing track of when each service needed to be paid. Yes, I know calendar apps and the phone reminder exist, but I wanted something specifically designed for subscription management with a clear overview of total spending.

https://preview.redd.it/x5obzble4r0e1.png?width=1919&format=png&auto=webp&s=5ab4a9450d0c312732cdd4c5050a41ae907a7043

Some questions:

1. Would you use something like this? Why/why not?
2. What features would make this more useful for you?
3. What's your biggest pain point managing subscriptions?
4. Is this solving a real problem or am I just reinventing the calendar? 😅

I'm looking for honest feedback - positive or negative. Thanks in advance!

Hey everyone! I wanted to share my experience combining AI, physical journaling, and time tracking - and get your thoughts on taking this further.

Background: My AI-Enhanced Productivity Journey

I recently did an intensive experiment tracking my time down to the minute (as a software engineer juggling multiple projects, Kendo practice, and side hustles). I used Claude/ChatGPT to analyze my patterns and got some fascinating insights about my productivity and habits. The AIs helped me spot patterns I was blind to and asked surprisingly thoughtful questions that made me reflect deeper.

What really struck me was how AI turned from just an analysis tool into something like a wise friend who remembers everything and asks the right questions at the right time. This got me thinking about creating a more structured approach.

The Hybrid Model Concept

I'm exploring an idea that combines:

1. Physical journaling/tracking (for tactile experience and mindfulness)

2. AI-powered digital companion (for insights and reflection)

3. Flexible input methods (write in a notebook, take photos, type, or voice record)

The key insight is: while AI can track digital activities, our lives happen both online and offline. Sometimes we're in meetings, reading books, or having coffee with friends. By combining human input with AI analysis, we get both accuracy and insight.

How It Would Work:

- Write in your physical journal/planner as usual

- Optionally snap photos or type key points into the app

- AI companion provides:

- Smart comparisons (today vs last week/month/year)

- Pattern recognition ("I notice you're most creative after morning exercise...")

- Thoughtful reflection prompts ("How has your approach to [recurring challenge] evolved?")

- Connection-making between entries ("This reminds me of what you wrote about...")

What Makes This Different

1. Human Agency: You control what to track and share, maintaining mindfulness

2. AI as Coach: Beyond just tracking, it asks meaningful questions based on your patterns

3. Temporal Intelligence: Helps you see how your behaviors and thoughts evolve over time

4. Flexibility: Works whether you prefer paper, digital, or both

Early Insights from My Testing:

- Initial tracking caused some anxiety (couldn't sleep first two nights!) but became natural

- AI feedback varies by tool (Claude more encouraging, ChatGPT more direct)

- The combination of manual tracking + AI analysis led to better self-awareness

- Having AI ask unexpected questions led to deeper insights than solo journaling

Questions for the Community:

1. Have you tried combining AI with traditional productivity/journaling methods? What worked/didn't?

2. What kinds of AI-generated insights/questions would be most valuable to you?

3. How would you balance the convenience of automation with the benefits of manual tracking?

4. What features would make this truly useful for your productivity practice?

I believe there's something powerful in combining the mindfulness of manual tracking, the wisdom of AI, and the flexibility of modern tools. But I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

Looking forward to the discussion! 🤔✍️

Hey guys, I have been working on an ai website builder and I have completed the basic functionality to some extent, and would be grateful if you guys can check it out.

I haven’t added usage limits and anything yet so posting the link here wont be possible, but if you can comment I can share the project with you,

Just need feedback on what to improve etc, and since most of you here are builders, you can tell me about things to make sure before I publicly launch.

This is your sign to just start. One goal I had this year was to learn how to code. I was stuck at it, trying to learn, then I'd probably do something.

A month ago I said f*ck it, I'll just start a project and figure on the way. Now loopfluent(dot)com is live!

I knew I wanted do do something with AI, and then I remembered an amazing use case I had for it last year: learning how to write in other languages and get instant feedback.

It'd basically go like this:

1. Ask Chat GPT for a proposal
2. Write
3. Make him grade

The problem is that the proposals were frequently repetitive and the knowledge kept between the sessions was limited, not to say the problem to type the prompt everytime.

So... Loopfluent was born.

It now has features like personal knowledge and feedback loops to improve your proposals and get you to improve. If you want to check it out, it doesn't even have a paywall, do it completely for free, and I'd appreciate any feedback!!

If you need more credits contact me, enjoy!

A couple weeks ago I made lifeistooshort.today a really basic one page website that shows you how much life you got left to live. It made 650$ in the last months just by selling ad placements on the website.

I found this guy on X who posted on about his Mac app https://www.progressbarosx.com basically doing the thing just as a paid app which I had in mind as my next step for the project.

So how do I continue from here? Do I just do it anyway or could I run into legal problems? My idea for a pivot was maybe to do it as an app and where you can create a widget for your phone home screen but I have mixed feelings about it...

What would you do in my position?

I’ve been developing an app for iOS that is the perfect passwordmanager for your needs. I’m not sure if it’s good so I would heavily appreciate any feedback 👉👈 I will open source it soon too! Link is in the comments below. Thanks!
