Hey dog lovers,

Every time we go out, my pup spent half the walk marking every post and fire hydrant like he was expanding his kingdom. So I built a little app called WalkPack to put that on the map.

Basically, whenever you take your dog out, your path turns into territory "patches" on a map in your area. Neighboring dogs on the app can walk the same block and claim patches back, creating a friendly neighborhood leaderboard.

A few key features:

Visual map showing your dog's claimed turf vs neighboring dogs

Privacy zones so your actual home location and exact starting points are never shown on public maps

Walk stats and milestones to make daily routine walks a bit more fun

If you walk your dog daily and want to test it out or see what turf is open around you, check out WalkPack!

Curious to hear what features you'd want in a gamified dog walk tracker.

Hey r/dogwalking!

My dogs Rocky and Marco take neighborhood inspections very seriously. Every tree needs checking. Every corner has breaking news. Apparently, I’m just the chauffeur holding the leash. 😂

I’m building WalkPack, and I’d love to build a community around the everyday adventures we have with our dogs.

Over at r/WalkPack, the idea is simple: share your walk, introduce your dog, and tell us what happened along the way. A beach adventure, a muddy trail, a familiar block, or twenty minutes investigating the same three bushes—it all counts.

I also built an iPhone app that records walks and lets your dog claim virtual territory on a map. Rocky and Marco have already started collecting patches, which feels appropriate for two dogs who clearly believe they own everything anyway.

I’m the developer, so I want to be upfront about that. But you don’t need the app to join the community—dog photos and walk stories are just as welcome.

If you’re curious: WalkPack on the App Store.

Mostly, I’d love to meet more dogs and us following them around. Come introduce your little neighborhood supervisor at r/WalkPack.

Where did your dog take you today—and what absolutely required a five-minute sniff? Photos welcome! 🐕

What keeps your dog walks enjoyable—new routes, waterfront sniffs, meeting other dogs? Or does your dog insist on the exact same tour every time? 😂

I’m building WalkPack, which turns walks into virtual territory for your dog to claim. The screenshot is Marco’s actual patch in Rockaway; I’d love to hear whether Bay Ridge dog owners would enjoy something like this in their neighborhood.

Would a little friendly dog rivalry get you exploring, or is a simple walk already enough? What would make it fun for you?

If you’re curious, you can join the early-access list at https://walkdogpack.com. Honest feedback is welcome either way.

Hey everyone,

I’m the developer of an iOS app called NYC Block Check, and I thought this community might have a very different perspective on it than the average App Store user.

One thing that has always interested me about NYC is how much public data exists about the built environment and what’s happening on individual blocks — but it’s spread across a bunch of different City and agency systems.

I’ve been trying to bring some of that information together around a simple question:

“What is happening around this block?”

Right now the app brings together things such as:

• 311 activity around an address
• building/property information
• street and road activity
• construction/permit-related information
• subway service and accessibility alerts
• traffic cameras
• restaurant inspection grades
• saved Home/Work locations
• neighborhood/block-level alerts and reports

The idea isn’t to assign a definitive judgment to a neighborhood, but to make the underlying public information easier to explore in one place.

I’m especially interested in feedback from people who think about NYC from an urbanism / transportation / housing / public-space perspective.

If you were looking at a block or neighborhood, what information would actually be useful to you?

For example, I’ve thought about things like:

• bike infrastructure and bike-lane changes
• pedestrian injuries / crash history
• sidewalk sheds
• street trees
• housing construction and permits
• zoning changes
• Citi Bike stations and usage
• bus speeds / reliability
• street redesign projects
• parking / curb regulations
• accessibility
• recurring 311 quality-of-life patterns

I’m the independent developer, so if there are public datasets or features you think would make this genuinely useful for understanding NYC neighborhoods, I’d love to hear them.

If anyone wants to see the current version:

Hey everyone!

I notice a lot of posts here from people struggling with two main things:

1. ⁠Staring at a full closet every morning feeling like they have nothing to wear.
2. ⁠Dressing for an outfit that looks great indoors, only to get ruined by the weather or temperature outside.

Most wardrobe apps make you spend hours filling out useless tags and data points just to add a single shirt.

I wanted something fast and simple, so I built an app called Closet Day Digital Wardrobe.

How it helps with everyday styling & outfit planning:

• Weather-Aware Outfit Prep: It has live weather previews built right into the app, so when you mix and match an outfit for an occasion, you know upfront if it actually fits the temperature.

• Calendar Scheduling: You can assign outfits to specific days on your calendar and set morning reminders—no more rushing or stressing before work or events.

• Quick Packing Sets: If you're traveling, you can build packing lists from your closet items, save what you brought, and reuse the loadout for future trips.

• Minimal Inventory: A clean, clear track of what you actually own so you stop buying duplicate pieces and start using what's already in your closet.

I’d love to hear how you guys currently organize your outfits or prep for trips!

What would you like to see to tailor it to your needs?

Doing actual due diligence on an NYC property usually requires digging through multiple disconnected city databases:

• HPD: Housing violations, litigation, and bedbug reports
• DOB (BIS & NOW): Building permits, active stop-work orders, and safety sign-offs
• ACRIS: Property deeds, mortgages, and recorded ownership history
• DOF / PLUTO: Tax lot boundaries, zoning codes, and square footage
• 311: Unresolved tenant complaints regarding heat, hot water, or noise

When you look at a building in isolation, missing a single open violation or an unpermitted alteration can derail a deal or cost thousands later.

To solve this, I mapped these public datasets together in NYC Real Estate Map so typing in any NYC address or BBL aggregates the full public record instantly:

• Unified Building Profile: Cross-references active/resolved violations, permits, and 311 complaints in one view.
• Ownership Records: Traces historical ACRIS deeds and tax lot data without navigating separate city portals.
• Context & PDF Exports: Summarizes zoning context and exports clean PDF history reports for client or internal review.

What other city data sources or building metrics do you usually check when evaluating a lot?

Hey everyone,

I’m working on some quiet digital brain-break activities for early elementary students (specifically focused on sensory/fidget interactions like popping bubbles to reveal text or images).

I'm trying to figure out the right language to use so it actually connects with kids. When setting up calm-down corner prompts or quiet activities, does phrasing like "kind affirmations" feel too mature or clinical for younger students?

In your experience, do kids respond better to phrases like "kind words," or do they care more about the visual/sensory aspect (like cozy pictures or simple fidget mechanics) than the actual text?

Would love to hear what phrasing or visual prompts have worked best in your classrooms!

I am the developer of Soft Pop and launched it this week. I am trying to improve the listing before sending traffic to it.

Current metadata:

• Name: Soft Pop: Kind Affirmations

• Subtitle: Bubble play & daily kind words

• Primary category: Entertainment

• Secondary category: Lifestyle

• Price model: free core modes, optional $2.99 permanent collection unlock

The product is a small bubble-popping toy with three different reasons to open it: freeform kind-word bubbles, short phrase reveals, and cozy picture reveals. It is intentionally not positioned as medical care.

My concern is that “Kind Affirmations” may capture one feature while hiding the playful fidget/reveal loop. I would appreciate specific criticism on three points:

1. From screenshot one alone, do you understand that this is interactive bubble play rather than a quote app?

2. Is “Bubble play & daily kind words” clearer than the app name, or does it repeat too much?

3. Would you lead the screenshot sequence with Kind Words, Phrase Reveal, or Cozy Reveal?

The live listing is here only for full context: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/soft-pop-kind-affirmations/id6811670800

Anyone who has ever done a cross-country or long-distance move knows the chaotic panic at delivery time:

boxes getting unloaded by movers, missing labels, and having no immediate way to prove something went missing until weeks later when you finally finish unboxing.

I built MoveManifest to give power back to the customer during a move. Instead of relying on a mover's messy paper inventory sheet, MoveManifest gives you a live, customer-controlled inventory system from pickup to delivery.

What it does:

Real-time item verification: Track exactly what was loaded vs. delivered (e.g., 126/184 received, 5 missing).

Live Reconciliation: Flag missing or pending items instantly at delivery so you can address issues before the movers drive off.

Scan & Organize: Easily catalog your boxes and items before moving day so you know where everything is.

Route & Transit Tracking: Keep an overview of your move's progress from origin to destination.

If you are planning a move soon, I’d love for you to try it out and let me know what features would make your moving day less stressful!

maybe useful for people here too. I kept finding Bay Ridge events on different pages and honestly was missing half of them.

A few coming up:

• Shore Road Open Run every Saturday morning
• FAMCHELLA on September 19
• Chris Hoban 5-mile / 5K on September 20
• Ragamuffin Parade on September 26
• Third Avenue Festival on September 27

I put everything I could verify on one Bay Ridge map so you can actually see what is close to your block.

Full disclosure — the screenshot is from NYC Intel, an app I built. But I’m sharing this more as a local events view than an app promo. If something good is missing or any date looks wrong, tell me and I’ll check the source.
