Looking for devs

I run https://www.velcio.dev and we have just gone live.

Velcio is an escrow style marketplace where one can hire a developer. It's completely free for developers to advertise their services and find open jobs. We authorise funds from the buyer on job acceptance so you always know a buyer is serious and operate a 25% cancellation fee to protect you from flaky buyers wasting your time.

Developers keep 90% of all earnings (fiverr takes 20% + a 5.5% service fee and upwork takes up to 15%)

We are looking for freelance developers to join our site. Fill in your marketplace profile and get emailed when jobs relevant to you go live.

Vps suggestions

I’m building a startup and part of it requires me to run untrusted user code (gvisor). I’m currently using digitalocean for running and building docker images but it’s pretty expensive (luckily I have credits). I don’t use any of digitaloceans native features.

Anyone have any good suggestions? I don’t need latency to be that low (max 400-500ms) so even if locations provided aren’t as many as DO it’s alright.

Building a marketplace for devs

I’ve been working on a marketplace for hiring devs to build bots (Telegram, Discord, etc) and automation scripts. Right now it’s just a waitlist at https://velcio.dev, but launch is coming soon.

Tech-wise it’s FastAPI + Next.js with Postgres, running on Heroku dynos and DigitalOcean droplets. The tricky part was making handover feel like an actual workflow instead of “here’s a repo, good luck”. We use gVisor for the container runtime so each project runs in a sandboxed environment, with secrets injected directly from the platform. That way devs never touch production env vars or credentials.

Pricing is a flat 10% commission (Upwork goes up to 15%, Fiverr is 20% + up to 5.5% service fees).

Building a marketplace for devs

Currently building https://velcio.dev, an escrow style marketplace for hiring devs to build bots (such as Telegram or Discord bots) and automation scripts. Currently just the waitlist is live but we will be launching soon.

Hosting is built into the handover workflow so if the buyer wishes to deploy code without needing to configure anything, everything is quick and easy to do.

We operate on a flat 10% commission (compared to Upwork charging up to 15% and Fiverr charging 20% + 5.5% service fees).

Once handover is complete, buyers own everything with devs never even seeing production credentials as these are entered by the buyer.

I'm a lazy cook. What about you?

I’m a lazy cook and kept buying meals from supermarkets / ordering takeaways so I made this:

https://stovvy.app

You put in what you’ve got and it suggests meals.

A few things I built in:

- ranks recipes by effort + cleanup

- uses expiry dates so you use stuff before it goes bad

- cook mode that shows one step at a time

Hardest part has been getting ingredients in without it being a pain (you can take a picture, describe and we parse it or use the manual input tool)

Would appreciate honest feedback.

I made an app to help people with ADHD overcome “waiting mode”

I made waitingmode.com for people with ADHD who get stuck in “waiting mode” before tasks (that freeze where you have an appointment later in the day but can’t start anything before it).
Most productivity apps help you manage tasks. This one helps you actually start them. You can paste in either a messy brain dump or a single task, and it breaks it down into tiny actionable steps so the first move feels doable instead of overwhelming.

I’m looking for blunt feedback on onboarding, usefulness, and what feels pointless.

If you don’t suffer from waiting mode in general, this app probably won’t be useful to you but I’ll still be grateful for any feedback even if it’s general UI stuff and not related to the features

Built an ADHD tool for waiting mode

I have ADHD and I know "waiting mode" is tough where you can have an appointment at 3pm but you can't start anything before it. You just stare at your phone, can't do anything and just wait.

I built waitingmode.com to help break that paralysis. It:

- takes your messy thoughts (even unstructured, rambling ones)

- detects tasks AND breaks them down automatically (1 tool, not 2 like Goblin Tools)

- gives you clarity on what to do

Free: Unlimited usage, but rate-limited
Paid: £7/month for first 3 months -> then £11/month (price returns)
Or £59/year

If you have ADHD and would use this kind of product, I'd be happy to give you a free month of access in exchange for feedback. Just message me.

Built this because I've tried Goblin Tools and other ADHD tools, but they require you to do so much yourself. Goblin Tools does offer brain dump -> todo list, but it just spits out what you already told it without actually breaking it down.

Want to try it free and give feedback? Link: waitingmode.com

Curious what you'd change or what's missing.
