Marketing and distribution are the hardest part of being an indie dev. I wanted faceless social media for my apps, and UGC is the only thing that gets cut-through, but paying influencers or Fiverr creators runs $150-300 a video which is unsustainable.
So I built AutoViral. Drop your URL in at https://auto-viral.app and you get a 9:16 talking-head video with an AI presenter and burnt-in captions. No camera, no recording, no script. Free, no card/subscription, yours to keep.
Plans start at $29/mo if you want more (custom characters, voiceovers and captions based on your brand and auto-scheduled through the week).

F1ReplayTiming has been updated to make self-hosting simpler and even easier if you're using Docker.

Watch Formula 1 sessions with real timing data, GPS track positions, driver telemetry, race control messages and more. It works as a replay tool for past sessions from 2024 onwards and also supports live sessions during race weekends via the F1 SignalR stream. Built with FastAPI and Next.js, powered by FastF1.

Features:

• Track map with real-time car positions from GPS telemetry, marshal sector flags, and toggleable corner numbers
• Driver leaderboard with position, gaps, intervals, last lap time, sector indicators, tyre compound and age, pit timer, grid position changes, and investigation/penalty status
• Telemetry for unlimited drivers showing speed, throttle, brake, gear, and DRS plotted against track distance
• Lap analysis comparing lap times for up to two drivers with a line chart and lap-by-lap history, with pit stops and safety car periods highlighted
• Race control messages displayed in a draggable overlay on the track map, with optional sound notifications
• Pit position prediction that estimates where a driver would rejoin if they pitted now, using precomputed pit loss times per circuit with Safety Car and VSC adjustments
• Broadcast sync to match the replay to a recording of a session, either by uploading a screenshot of the timing tower or by manually entering gap times
• Picture-in-Picture mode, playback controls from 0.5x to 20x, full screen mode, weather data, track status flags, and imperial units toggle
• Passphrase authentication to optionally restrict access when publicly hosted

Everything runs as a single container on one port. The frontend and backend are the same service, so there's no CORS, no cross-origin config, and no separate URLs to manage. Configuration lives in a single .env file and the defaults work out of the box.

Hosting is flexible. It runs locally with docker compose up, behind a reverse proxy by pointing at port 8000, or on cloud platforms like Railway. Manual setup without Docker is also supported. Session data is processed once via FastF1 and stored locally or in Cloudflare R2 for persistence, and you can either pre-compute sessions in bulk ahead of time or let the app process them on demand when you select them.

The README has full setup details including reverse proxy examples, cloud hosting, and manual setup.
