Hey r/SideProject,

I got frustrated with how people find software. You Google something like "project management tool" and get 47 listicles from 2019. Or you ask in a forum and someone recommends the same 3 tools regardless of your actual situation.

So I built askstack.app together with AI – still early beta, very much a WIP.

Here's how it works:

- Creators submit their tools (SaaS, indie apps, whatever)
- Users describe a problem they have – in plain English, not keywords
- The platform semantically matches problems to tools that actually fit
- Creators can also jump into threads, pitch their tool, or clarify edge cases

The semantic part matters. "I need to stop losing track of client conversations" should surface a CRM – even if the user never said CRM.

Where I'm at:
Early beta. Looking for both sides of the marketplace – tools to list, and people with real problems to test the matching against.

Would love feedback on:
- Does the concept make sense from your first look at the site?
- Creators: what would make you want to list your tool here?
- Users: how do you currently discover new tools?

Happy to answer anything. And yes, roast the UX if needed – that's exactly why I'm posting.

Hi everyone,

I’ve always been a fan of the "classic" era of incremental games—the ones that focused on core loops and the satisfaction of seeing numbers grow without needing heavy graphics or over-complicated UIs.

Lately, I’ve felt that many new idle games are becoming a bit too cluttered. So, I decided to build something that goes back to the basics. It’s built primarily with HTML/CSS/JS and focuses on that clean, traditional feel inspired by titles like Cookie Clicker.

Why I made this:

Minimalist Design: Less flashy distractions, mostly the mechanics.
Old-school Vibes: Aiming for that nostalgic "web-browser game" feel.
Project Passion: This started as a way for me to learn and build something I’d actually want to play during a coffee break.

It’s still a work in progress, and since this community has the best eye for balance and "feel," I’d love to get some feedback. Whether it’s about the pacing, the prestige layers, or just general UI improvements, I’m all ears.

it works on mobile :)

Hope you enjoy it, and thanks for checking it out!
