My wife got me a cordless drill for my birthday, and now I actually enjoy fixing things around the house. What should I buy next?

My wife bought me a cordless drill for my birthday because she knows I enjoy doing small DIY projects around the house.

Honestly, it has been a bigger upgrade than I expected. All the little jobs that used to feel like a chore suddenly became easy and even enjoyable. I've fixed wobbly cabinets, adjusted doors that wouldn't close properly, and finally hung a mirror that had been sitting around waiting for almost two years.

It sounds silly, but being able to take care of these things myself makes me feel useful and productive.

So now I'm wondering: what is the next tool that gives a similar "wow, why didn't I buy this years ago?" feeling?

If a cordless drill was the first game-changer, what should be second on the list?

yerli erotik/porno içerik neden bu kadar rezalet?

Diyelim ki düzgün yerli erotik ya da pornografik içerik tüketmek istedin. interneti karıştırıyorsun, karşına şunlar çıkıyor:

spor yüzü görmemiş vücutlar

leş gibi floresan lamba altında çekilmiş videolar

doğru yeri bir türlü bulamayan, zangır zangır titreyen kamera

sürekli dönen "TOKEN ATSANIZA AMK" muhabbeti (içeriklerin çoğu tango, tiktok vs gibi yerlerden çalıntı olduğu için)

iki sorum var:

buna katılıyor musunuz?

sizce neden böyle? rekabet mi az, yoksa erkekler memeyi görünce kaliteli olsun olmasın direkt parayı bastığı için mi üreticiler kaliteye hiç yatırım yapmıyor mu?

I'm 42 yo and I wish someone had told me this 20 years ago.

You should help others.

Just because you're selfish. I'm serious. Let me explain:

If there's one thing I've learned, it's this: if you're not born rich or exceptionally talented, your only advantage is your reputation and your network.

It's not your resume, your friend list on Instagram, or the number of contacts in your phone. It's the people you can ask for a favor. And that can't be built by joining events, sending cold emails, or having dinner with people you don't really care about.

The only way to build it is by being genuinely helpful. Look around you, people are struggling with different things in life. Everyone needs help.

You'll probably think it has to be mutual. Why should I help people who won't help me back? But think of it as an investment.

People spend thousands on ads knowing most of them won't convert. Founders build products knowing most will fail. Investors expect losses. Nobody expects a 100% return. So why do people suddenly expect every act of kindness to be paid back?

Most people won't remember what you did. Some will. You just don't know which ones.

One last question: imagine your side project is finally ready. You need 20 people to test it this weekend. Do you already know who you're going to text? Or are you going to post on Reddit and hope strangers care?

If it's the second one, you're misplacing your workforce. Start helping people first.

9 years ago I got fed up with note apps, so I built my own CLI tool. It just landed on awesome-python.

A coworker of mine had the biggest txt file archive I'd ever seen. Every meeting outcome, every bug fix, every server detail, all in plain txt. I asked him why not use a real notes app. He said they were all too heavy and kept breaking his flow, Obsidian included.

That got me thinking, so I went and tried pretty much every notes app people talk about. They all had the same three problems for me: switching context to another app kills focus, most apps demand titles and folders until your notes become a chore to maintain, and the ones with real features take too long to learn before they're actually useful.

So I built kaydet (Turkish for "record"). It's a CLI tool, you type one command from wherever you already are in the terminal and it's saved. No app to open, no structure to think about. Under the hood it's plain daily text files (so it's fully yours, greppable, git-friendly) indexed with SQLite for instant full text search, plus a small metadata syntax so you can log things like time:2h status:done and query them later.

I've used it every single day for 9 years now. Last week it got added to the awesome-python list under "hidden gem," which is honestly what convinced me this might be useful to more than just me.

Link if you want to poke around: https://github.com/miratcan/kaydet

Curious what people think, especially if you've built something similar and gave up on it, or stuck with it for reasons I haven't thought of.

Has anyone else's spouse or partner simply not believed in them?

My wife thinks my entrepreneurial efforts are just a way of keeping myself busy and that I'll probably never succeed. Whenever I talk about building wealth or becoming financially successful, she dismisses it and says it's unrealistic.

I understand that entrepreneurship has a high failure rate, but what frustrates me isn't skepticism. it's the complete lack of belief.

Is this something many founders experience? Did your partner's attitude change after you started seeing results, or is this a red flag I should take seriously?

I'd like to hear real experiences rather than motivational advice.

I built a photo threads app where someone starts a topic, others answer with their own photos

Hey! I've been working on peeka.pics — a photo threads community. The idea is simple: someone starts a thread with a question or topic, and other people answer with their own photos. So instead of doomscrolling endless feeds, you get these little themed photo conversations — "show me your morning coffee setup", "what's outside your window right now", "your most-used corner of your home", that kind of thing.

It's for people who like taking photos but don't want the pressure of Instagram aesthetics or follower counts. No likes-farming, no personal brand maintenance — just small communities (we call them clubs) sharing photos around shared topics.

A few things that make it different from IG:

  • Threads are question-based, so there's a reason to post beyond "here's my life"
  • Photos sit in context, not in a personal grid — so no one's judging your whole aesthetic
  • Clubs can be private, so you can have a photo thread with just your friends or a niche community
  • No algorithm deciding what you see — it's chronological within a thread
  • Honestly the hardest part is the cold start problem. Photo apps need content to feel alive, and we're a two-person team with no marketing budget. We're trying to grow it organically through the communities themselves rather than paid acquisition.
  • It's live at https://peeka.pics — registration is open (Google or email), and the site is in English.

I'd genuinely love feedback on a few things:

  • Does the "photo threads" concept land for you, or does it sound like a feature IG should just have?
  • Would you join a public club or only try it if you could bring your own group?
  • Any communities/niches where you think this format would actually stick?

Thanks for reading 🙏

[Hiring] (Online) Someone to build the First Fashion Community on a New Photo Sharing Platform.

I'm building peeka.pics, a photo-sharing platform organized around small communities. Think a public landing page, group-based access, and a Tumblr-style masonry photo feed.

The platform is still early, and right now there isn't a fashion community. I'm looking for one person to build the first one from scratch.

What you'll do

  • Create and organize the Fashion group on peeka.pics.
  • Invite the first ~20-30 members over the first couple of weeks through communities and networks where you're already active.
  • Keep the community alive by posting regularly. Ideally, these are your own outfits, photos, or original fashion-related content rather than reposted images.
  • Welcome new members, reply to comments, and encourage conversations.
  • Have a short weekly check-in with me so we can review what's working and what isn't.

Trial period

The initial trial is 1-2 months.

At the end of the trial we'll look at actual results together, including:

  • Member growth
  • Upload activity
  • Returning members
  • Overall engagement

If it's working, we'll discuss continuing and expanding the role.

Who I'm looking for

You don't need professional community management experience. I'm much more interested in someone who is already genuinely active in fashion communities and knows how to engage people.

For example, you might already be active on:

  • Reddit (r/femalefashionadvice, r/malefashionadvice, r/streetwear, r/OUTFITS, etc.)
  • Instagram or TikTok fashion accounts
  • Pinterest fashion communities
  • Fashion-focused Discord servers
  • Depop or Poshmark communities

You don't need to be active everywhere. I'm simply looking for someone who already has real involvement in at least one fashion community.

Pricing

$100 USD per month, flat fee, paid in cash (PayPal/bank transfer/etc, not equity, not barter).

I know this is a modest starting budget. Since the platform is still in its early stages, I'm looking for someone who enjoys building communities from the ground up. If we see genuine traction, I'm happy to discuss increasing the budget as the community grows.

Check out the platform: peeka.pics

How to apply

Send me a PM with:

  • A link to a fashion community or profile where you're active (Reddit, Instagram, TikTok, etc.)
  • A few sentences about why you think you'd be a good fit.

I rewrote my landing page 5 times trying to explain my product. Then I deleted it entirely.

Hi,

I've been building a social platform for the past few months, and I kept hitting the same wall: people see it and ask "wait, what is this?" or "what's the actual value here?"

So I did what most of us do, I rewrote the copy. Long version, short version, feature lists, benefit-driven headlines. Five rewrites, same confused reactions every time.

Eventually I got annoyed and just deleted the landing entirely. I started to think that if the product can't explain itself in 30 seconds without a wall of copy, the copy was never the problem.

Now I want to test that theory properly. If you've got a minute, I'd love your honest first impression:

  1. Visit the link below
  2. Poke around for 30 seconds.
  3. Drop a comment with your honest guess: what is this, what would you do here, where did it click or not click.

No wrong answers. Honestly the guesses that are completely off are more useful to me than the ones that are right, because that tells me exactly where the experience breaks down.

Curious how many different interpretations I get.

Thank you for your time BTW.

I've created a place that we answer questions with photos, would photographers actually like this or not?

I'm not going to share the link to not to spam. I really need opinions here. Please check the screenshot. I'm building a small photo community that people ask questions and others answer that questions by taking (or finding) photos.

For me it's fun, I really like the flow and idea but I'm curious if it's just me or if other people that like taking photos would really enjoy with that.

Blunt feedbacks are wellcomed, would you use something like this? Why or why not?

REKLAM DEGILDIR: Türkçe subredditlerde uygulamamı nasıl tanıtabilirim?

Bir uygulama yazdım daha doğrusu bir sosyal medya platformu. Ne zaman bir subreddit'e gitsem yazdığım şey insanlar tarafından beğenilse bile yazdığım şey kaldırılıyor reklam deniyor. İzin alabileceğim, yayınlayabilceğim Türkçe sublar varsa yazar mısınız?

İnsanları fotoğraf çekmeye çağırdığınız bir sosyal medya uygulaması yayına aldım.

> Adminlere not: kendi projem ama bir gelir modeli olmadığı ücretsiz bir ürün olduğu için tanıtıma girmez diye düşündüm isterseniz silebilirsiniz alınmam :)

Projemin mantığı basit. Gruplarımız var bu gruplara "bugün ne giydin?", "çekmecende ne var?", "mutluluğun fotoğrafını çekebilir misin?" gibi sorular atılıyor cevaplar da fotoğrafla veriliyor. Bir kaç kişiyle bile baya eğlenceli bir şey oldu ancak yine de yeterince kullanıcım yok. Bir denemenizi rica ediyorum her türlü geri bildirime açığım.

Projenin adresi: https://peeka.pics

İçeriye davetiye ile girebiliyorsunuz. Şu aşağıda verdiğim linke tıklayarak direkt davetiye kodu doldurulmuş kayıt ekranına ulaşabilirsiniz:

https://peeka.pics/register?key=BETATESTERS

Proje global o yüzden İngilizce. Rusya, ABD ve Türkiye'den kullanıcılar var.

Dediğim gibi geri bildirimler benim için çok önemli öte yandan sorularınız varsa da alabilirim.
