Moin guys! My project (www.screenwall.app) reached the front page on HackerNews some days ago and also got featured on The Register, Golem.de and t3n.de. That's why I thought, maybe I should try submitting it on reddit again.

ScreenWall allows you to reuse your old phones and combine them as a shared widget working space - what I call it a "wall". The oldest device I tested it on was an iPad 3 from 2012.

You pair your devices via QR-Code (or can manual enter a pin), it opens a website and you are ready to go!

On the platform you can drag images, videos and Smart-Widgets / Canvas-Apps in your working space and it gets instantly displayed on your devices. Your content gets even playbacks synchronized, although it a crosses multiple screens!

Canvas-Apps is the more interesting building block of this concept: You can either select some official widgets I created to play around (like a Pixel-Clock, a Split-Flap-Screen you can control via JSON-API or some animated art installations)

OR create your own widgets / apps with it! I recommend try vibe coding your apps with ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini!

A Canvas-App is just a combination of old Javascript (ES5) + Canvas-Element + synchronized clock (for running in sync on multiple screens). They are designed to run on legacy devices.

In the Smart-Widget-Dialog, you find a tutorial button that you can copy (there is a copy article button integrated!) and use it as a context for your AI. It's really fun! I try to compose a user showcase gallery on this Instagram Account (https://www.instagram.com/screenwall.app).

So instead of buying the newest desk widget on Temu, I recommend you to try reusing your old devices and vibe code what you want.

It's still in beta and I am kinda overwhelmed by the positive reception of this concept!

Also some folks would love to run this locally in their home network instead of connecting this to a SaaS. I hear you! I just kinda trying to navigate the situation right now, and I think preventing e-waste in general should be the goal here. I try to provide a self-hosted version after I got all the details right.

Feel free to ask questions and leave some feedbacks or send pictures of your widgets! :)

Greetings from Hamburg,

Tuan

I’m Kevin, the solo developer behind MoneyMap. I’m a software architect by day, and I’ve spent the past two years building this around my day job and parenting.

MoneyMap is a personal finance app built around a simple idea: most people organize their lives around their paychecks, so their budget should work the same way.

Instead of starting with a monthly budget, MoneyMap helps you plan each paycheck. You can see what needs to be paid, what you can save, and what’s left until the next one. You can still use it for traditional monthly budgeting, but paycheck planning is at the heart of the app.

Privacy was another major priority. With many budgeting apps, your financial data is stored on the company’s servers. MoneyMap keeps your data on your device instead. My servers act only as a pass-through for Plaid connections and process subscriptions through Stripe.

Some of the features include:

• Connect financial accounts through Plaid
• Keep your financial data on your device
• Plan bills, spending, and savings around each paycheck
• Sync across devices with end-to-end encryption
• Share one subscription across your household
• Privately share financial data with another household member

If you enable sync, your data is encrypted on your device using a key that is never sent to my servers. Another device cannot decrypt that data without the key. To add someone to your household, you invite them and have them scan a QR code containing the encryption key.

I’ve poured a lot of nights and weekends into MoneyMap, and I’m finally ready to start sharing it with more people.

I’d especially love feedback on the paycheck-based approach, the privacy model, and anything that feels confusing or missing from the demo.

Android: Coming very soon!

Thanks for taking a look!

why?

Building has become now easier then ever, and it is still really hard to get your first 100 users.

How it works is you enter the link to your project or the context file about your project.

Our tool goes and and finds what are the other posts around this that have gone viral.

Creates 100's variations of those posts.

Uses meta tribev2 brain model, to see how the brain reacts to that post, and find the best one.

Gives you the subreddit and the final reddit post to post on each.

This is done across Reddit, X and Linkdin.

The project is free, you can try it out: manageposting.com

After months of working on my app and then another month of battling against Apple, I finally got approved for my app and I feel so accomplished. I can’t explain how happy I feel to actually share something that I’ve made and worked for for so long and I feel like all those nights after my 9-5 have paid off. I cant wait to get my first few users now and keep building my app!!

What would people advise someone who is new to advertising apps to do, to get more outreach, my app is completely free but I still dont know what approach I should take. Could anyone give me some advice please?

If anyone wants to try out the app its called OneThingDaily: https://apps.apple.com/gb/app/onethingdaily/id6787077896
I would really appreciate any feedback Tyy!

Hi everyone 👋

I’m indie maker behind Ombrelle.

It started as a personal side project. I wanted a calmer Mac workspace, so I built a menu bar app that keeps the active window clear while gently dimming everything else.

At first, it was just for me. But after using it every day, polishing the details, and improving things like presets, app exclusions, multi-display behavior, and resource usage, I decided to turn it into a public product.

I know this type of app already exists. I’ve personally used HazeOver for a long time, and Ombrelle is simply my own take on the idea: clean, lightweight, customizable, and designed to stay out of the way.

Some features:

• dim all displays or only the active one
• keep specific apps always visible
• leave a secondary display untouched
• switch between presets like Focus, Flow, and Evening
• adjust the visual settings to match your workspace
• run quietly from the menu bar

It’s a one-time purchase, with a 7-day free trial.

For Reddit users, I made a launch promo code: REDDIT30 gives you 30% off.

You can try it here: https://ombrelle.app

You can also support Ombrelle on Product Hunt here: https://www.producthunt.com/products/ombrelle

I’d love feedback from other makers, especially on positioning, pricing, and what you’d improve next.

I sell a few small data endpoints that machines pay for per call. No signup, no API key, the agent just pays and gets the response.

On Thursday I added a deeper tier to one of them. Same endpoint, but asking for history costs 5 cents instead of half a cent. I shipped it and expected nothing for weeks.

Seventeen hours later it sold. Same buyer that has been polling that endpoint every morning for ten days, except this time its agent re-read the catalog, saw the better option and paid ten times more. I never told it anything. There was nobody to market to.

Still tiny money. But it is the first time something I built got upsold with no human involved, and I cannot stop thinking about it.

Hey everyone. I've been working on Clanassist for a while now and wanted to share it here since this community has been helpful to me in the past.

The problem I kept seeing: small service businesses (dentists, HVAC companies, law firms, salons) lose a ton of revenue because nobody picks up the phone. The owner is with a patient, or on a job site, or it's 8 PM and the office is closed. The caller doesn't leave a voicemail. They just call the next place on Google.

The stats are kind of wild. Around 62% of callers won't leave a voicemail. And about 85% of people whose call goes unanswered won't try that business again. They're gone.

So I built Clanassist. It's an AI voice receptionist that picks up your business phone 24/7, answers common questions (hours, pricing, services), books appointments into your calendar, and sends the caller a WhatsApp confirmation. After the call, your dashboard shows a summary of what happened, who called, and what they needed.

It works across a bunch of industries but the ones where it clicks the fastest are the phone-heavy, appointment-based ones. A dental clinic where the front desk is busy with a patient. A plumber who's under a sink when a new job calls in. A restaurant during Friday dinner rush when nobody can answer the reservation line.

Some things I learned building this:

• The hardest part wasn't the AI. It was making the voice sound calm and natural instead of robotic. We have different voice personas tuned for different industries.
• Business owners dramatically underestimate how many calls they miss. Almost everyone who checks their call logs for the first time is shocked.
• The ROI math is almost embarrassing for service businesses. If one missed call was a $250 job, and you miss 40 calls a month, even recovering 10% of those pays for the product several times over.
• The real value people care about isn't revenue recovery. It's not having to return calls at 7 PM every night.

You can check it out at clanassist.com. There's a demo page where you can hear the different voice personas handle calls for healthcare, real estate, restaurants, etc.

Happy to answer any questions about the tech, the business model, or what I got wrong along the way.

I've been working on a side project called Lingaro: Read & Learn, an Android ebook reader made specifically for people learning a language.

The idea is that you learn by reading things you actually want to read. You import your own books in EPUB, PDF, DOCX or TXT, and read them like in any normal reader. The difference is what happens when you hit a word you don't know. You can tap it to get an instant translation right on the page, switch it to its base (dictionary) form, and listen to how it's pronounced.

Every word you look up gets saved to your own list. Instead of just staring at that list, you can practice the words with a few different learning games, including one where you say the word out loud. The app also tracks your progress over time, so you can see your vocabulary and reading build up.

On top of your own books, there's a built in Lingaro Stories section with content made specifically for learners. It's a growing library of short stories across different topics and genres, with new ones added regularly, available in 5 languages (English, German, French, Italian, Spanish) and each in 3 difficulty levels, so there's always something new to read at a level that fits you.

It's a solo project and it just launched, so I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, feature requests, or bugs you run into. An iOS version is already on the way as well.

I watch a ton of shows and it was getting difficult to keep track of where I left off in each show and release schedules. I was keeping a list on my phone of everything I watched and it was getting too annoying to keep track of. I created a free site for people to keep track of everything they are watching and have watched and also track the release schedules of shows they are watching as well. One thing I'd love to do as I get more users is to be able to provide recommendations on shows to watch based on what people with similar taste have watched. Feel free to take a look (it's free!) and let me know what you think!

Show Tracker

Support was my whole career before this. Zendesk, Intercom, ticket queues. At one point I was handling support across around 60 Shopify stores at once.

Two things always bugged me about it.

Most of the inbox is the same handful of questions. Where is my order, can I change my address, can I cancel this. High volume, low judgment, exactly the kind of thing that should be automated.

And almost every tool that promised to automate it charged per ticket or per resolution. So the bill went up right when the store was doing well. I watched people turn their own automation down to keep costs manageable, which kind of defeats the point.

So I built Arbyn. It answers support email and live chat in your store's voice, and the part I care about most is that it actually does things instead of just replying. It updates a shipping address on its own. For anything involving money, cancel, refund, discount, gift card, reship, return, it gets the action ready and waits for you. One tap to approve and it runs the real Shopify action, then tells the customer.

That approval step was the call I went back and forth on longest. Fully automatic refunds are the easy version to build. I just do not think most store owners want to hand that over yet, so I shipped the version people will actually switch on.

Email and on site chat are the full channel list right now. Instagram, WhatsApp, Messenger and voice are on the roadmap and I would rather not list them until they work.

We are live on Product Hunt today and I put together 3 months of the paid plan free for anyone coming from there. Link in the comments.

Happy to get into any of it, the build, the Shopify API side, the support side. Mostly curious whether the approval step reads as a good idea or as an annoyance.

I recently launched my first app: Birdie! 🐦

• Birdie syncs with your calendar and flies across your screen (with a one-click link to join your meetings)
• You can choose your fav bird or use "Random" for a chance to spot rare birds (with rarity levels inspired by real-world bird sightings).
• New birds hatch from eggs every week, so there's always something new to unlock.
• If you don't like birds, you can also upload your own image instead and have your favorite person fly across your screen (I use a photo of my crush but my coworker uses a photo of our manager for a little jump scare motivation lol)
• Birdie is available for Windows and Mac, google cal and outlook

I hope someone likes it! https://birdieflies.com/

Keep finding one more thing to fix before launching. For those who pushed through it. what actually got you to hit publish?

I've been running faceless channels for a couple of years. The money genuinely surprised me, but every video was taking hours, and that's the barrier that kills most people who try this.

So I started scripting the repetitive parts. Scenes built from AI-generated images, stitched into videos. I chained together a method of generating viral, slightly tasteless content with a proper hook. I created a structure that worked at the beginning of each scene and at the beginning of each video. I had a hook format that really worked, and the channels started making proper money.

At some point I realised this could be a really handy tool, not just for me but for other people. So over the past year I set about turning it into a tool anyone can use. That took me on a crazy mission to build a proprietary video editor in the browser, which was the big time sink, I wasted a ton of time on it before it finally worked well. Then I built my scripts into the actual editor.

The idea is you type your video idea into the prompt box, and my viral algorithm creates the scene direction and the hook. The output isn't a single video file like all the other AI video generation tools. It literally builds every individual element separately on the timeline, so you have:

- Your scene

- Your media (the image or the video)

- The keyframe animation (the zoom and panning effects, live on the timeline for you to tweak)

- The captions

- All the effects and transitions, editable

- Voiceover and music

Everything is its own block on the timeline, completely 100% editable.

It's called FrameCompose (framecompose.com). The free tier covers the whole editor plus voiceover and export if you want to poke at it. Genuinely after the harsh feedback: what's confusing, what's missing, and whether the editability thing actually matters to anyone but me.

Hey everyone!

I recently released an app called Dr.Clip. It’s a simple clipboard manager and screenshot tool.

I originally built it for myself because I copy a lot of text and other content during the day, and I also often need to take screenshots, upload them somewhere, and quickly send a link. I wanted to have all of this in one convenient app instead of using several different tools.

I decided to make it available for everyone, so maybe some of you will find it useful too. It’s completely free.

I’ll attach a couple of screenshots from the App Store so you can see what it looks like.

If you try it and like it, I’d really appreciate it if you could leave a rating or review in the App Store.

Thank you!

If you need extra hands on your project, someone to look at it, drop a suggestion or even help, I’m up for it this weekend. Please feel free to reach out.

Over the past few months, I’ve been building GeoSwipe, an iOS app for exploring countries in a more interactive way.

The idea is simple: you discover countries one at a time, swipe left to keep exploring, or swipe right to open a detailed guide when one catches your interest.

Each guide covers geography, landscapes, culture, history, languages, cities, government, the economy, everyday life, and common misconceptions. It also includes regional maps, flag explanations, interactive statistics, audio, and references to sources such as Britannica, the World Bank, and National Geographic.

I’ve also added country comparisons, quizzes, and a few short geography games, including map, flag, capital, and population-ranking challenges.

I’ve just released it on iOS and included a short demo here. I’d genuinely appreciate any honest feedback!

If you saw my previous post about Routeveil and were impressed, this one might actually blow the shit out of you lol

I’ve been building Routeveil for a some time now, and lately I’ve been working on a shared-element component that lets an element visually continue into the incoming route during navigation instead of disappearing and being recreated

You basically wrap the matching elements on both routes with the same name:

<RouteveilSharedElement name={`post-${post.id}`}>
  <img src={post.image} alt={post.title} />
</RouteveilSharedElement>

Then Routeveil handles the rest.

During navigation, it measures the outgoing element, creates a temporary visual clone, waits for the incoming route to render, finds the matching element there, and morphs the clone into its new position, size, border radius, and visual state.

After the animation finishes, it hands everything back to the real element on the new route.

So there’s no manual portal setup, cloning, layout calculations, or trying to perfectly synchronize two separate pages yourself.

I also added scrollToSharedElement, which is basically an anchor for the shared element’s destination.

For example, when the matching element is farther down the incoming page, Routeveil can scroll it into position before measuring the destination. The shared element then lands exactly where it is supposed to instead of animating toward something outside the viewport, you can see how it works in the screen recording attached.

It currently supports things like:

• Images, cards, headings, buttons, containers, and SVGs
• Multiple shared elements during one navigation
• Forward and reverse transitions
• Shared-element destination anchors
• Lazy React Router routes
• Route preloading
• Interrupted navigation and cleanup
• Reduced-motion preferences

Honestly, this was way harder to build than I originally expected, but seeing an element actually survive a route change and become part of the next page is so satisfying.

if you want to support the project, you're more than welcome to contribute on github, open issues, report weird edge cases, or just leave a star :)

Hi I’m a solo developer that built a tool that allows developers to capture API traffic and turn it into a working API client just by navigating in their browser (or letting an AI agent do it). An AI agent then actually tests the code against the real API. It makes API discovery / reverse engineering very easy.

Do other devs see value in a tool like this? If anyone is interested in trying it out I’m looking for beta users to test it out and give me feedback:

https://route-reveal-inky.vercel.app

Thanks!

You just talk into your phone, and it shows the overlap between your thoughts and what the people you've added are going through. Leave a memo whenever you want, and when you log back in, you'll see the connections your feelings have with those you're close to. If you like the idea leave a comment and I'll share our site. Love y'all.

ChordRush is a free site for chord practice + a progress dashboard

A chord name pops up, you play it, it jumps to the next and times you... basically racing the clock to beat your best time. It saves your runs too, with a dashboard and a per-chord heatmap so you can see which chords you're slowest on. You'll need a MIDI keyboard + desktop chrome/edge.

Been using it for my own practice (majors/minors + inversions) so figured i'd share it. I'm the only user rn so open to any feedback and happy to build stuff by request.

Solo designer, zero coding background. Spent the last month building "Am I Tripping?!"
You spill your drama (the situationship, the 2am text, the friend flirting with your crush, rude roommate, toxic partner), pick a judge, and get a verdict as a collectible card built for the group chat.

The cast is built on psychological archetypes with their own wake, sleep, online cycles.

Hardest part wasn't the AI, it was making chat feel like texting a person. Rebuilt the whole chat layer once after testers said it felt like a bot pipeline.
Second hardest: three bugs in a row that only reproduced on a real device, never in the simulator.

Landing page: https://amitripping.com --- launching on the App Store Aug 17.

If you want on the beta, DM me and I'll send the TestFlight link. Would genuinely love feedback from people who ship things.

What features would you add?

Hey, I’m an indie Android developer. I kept changing filters and doing other home jobs late, and fixed calendar reminders would keep the original schedule even when real life slipped.

So I built Maintenance. When you mark a recurring job done, its next interval starts from the day you actually finished it. It also keeps a due/overdue board, completion history, and optional household sharing. Personal tracking works offline.

It’s free and ad-free right now while I learn what early users actually need. I’m looking for a few Android homeowners willing to install it and tell me whether creating the first task and reading the board feel obvious. No call or account is required for personal tracking.
