I have been monkeying around with a data compression theory. I am new to all of this so I don't know if it is garbage or not. I don't want to keep wasting my time, but I need some smarter people giving me some advice. This is a new post at the suggestion of a smart individual so a link is clean and the comments flow better. Please provide any constructive feedback so I can learn and improve.

Anyone that is developing, you ever feel like your product won't amount to anything? I keep building but the prospect of not getting any traction on usage is a little intimidating

I have posted a couple of prods in development to try to get feedback. I have gotten no responses. What have others done to drive engagement? Looking for advice from the crowd.

I built Greenbar, a money tracking app that lives natively on your device. All financial data is loaded by you through a csv or pdf load. There are no servers to store any data. No external calls to get data. You can set your budget and then load the data and it fills out your actual spend. Really looking forward to beta testers.

You can find it here: Greenbar-sigma.vercel.app

Any comments can be sent to support@greenbarsystems.com

I truly welcome any and all comments related to the app.

I also have some other stuff developing at www.greenbarsystems.com

AccessSpec is a visual dashboard that breaks down accessibility requirements into something you can actually understand and act on.

Here's what it does:

The Analyzer lets you paste a URL or point it at a page, and it runs a comprehensive scan against WCAG 2.2 standards—testing contrast ratios, keyboard navigation, semantic HTML, aria labels, focus management, and all those other criteria that make screen reader users want to throw your site in the trash. Instead of a wall of red/green checkboxes, you get:

• Clear breakdowns of what passes and what fails
• Why it matters for real users
• Actionable fixes instead of vague standards language
• Interactive exploration so you can understand the rules, not just memorize them

Built as a React SPA with smooth deep-linking, so you can share specific analyzer results or bookmark your progress. Works great for solo devs testing one page or teams doing full audits.

Why this works:

• Concrete functionality: Explains what you actually do with it
• Solves a real problem: Makes WCAG actionable, not theoretical
• User-focused: Shows the "why" not just the "what"
• Developer-friendly: Understands the pain of compliance

Let me know what you think. I would love any feedback.

I am new to the community and wanted to ask what everyone thought about the apps out there. They seem to be so involved and data is hosted on servers. Any suggestions on having data private and ai insights hosted locally. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
