Someone said see you in a year for the update, so here is month 11 (i had to take a good 6 months off for my health and surgery, had to go back on tube feeds.. its been rough)

This somehow became a forever project,

Pauldrons, bracers.. its all in the mix now..

I have the corset base mostly done but no finishing touches. Im honestly disappointed in the shape(too square).

I think ill be starting another one, and try to use an actual corset pattern. (Ps the hole is for my feeding tube..)

One More Shake is a small incremental game where you start by manually shaking vending machines to make money.

Upgrade your machines, increase their value and speed, unlock more machines, and eventually automate the whole process.

If you enjoy incremental games, I'd really appreciate a wishlist on Steam!

Hi all,

As i'm working on growing launchpact.io i'm seeing a lot of unprepped launches and as the day unfold they don't get much visibility and end up with a failed launch.

This is one of the reasons i build launchpact.io, if you have an upcoming launch do check it out and prep ahead of time, i also added this checklist that can give some hints too, have a read.

Good luck everyone!

I've been using Claude Code quite a bit and realized I was constantly looking back at my screen to see whether it had:

• finished the task
• stopped and needed my input
• was still working

So I built BrainSnack, a VS Code/Cursor extension that handles this for me.

While Claude is working, it opens a small panel with something short to read — AI news, technical articles, interview questions, output-based questions, etc.

And when Claude finishes or needs my input, it plays a sound so I know I can come back.

The interesting part is that it doesn't monitor the screen or scrape terminal output.

It's free and open source.

I'd really appreciate some honest feedback from other developers.

I also shared the build/story on LinkedIn. If you'd like to see it there (and help a small indie project get a little more reach), here's the post:

Thanks! Would love to hear what you think.

I've been developing a platform for learning ASP.NET Core Web API in a more practical way for some time now. The idea is to combine guided lessons, code examples, and challenges. At the end of each challenge, you can submit your solution and receive feedback from an AI that evaluates it according to certain criteria, highlighting what you did well and the areas for improvement.

for now, the lessons use YouTube videos as support. Later, I'd like to create my own content, but first I want to validate the idea.

if you're interested, you can go to the landing page and join the waitlist to be notified when it's available. Thanks!

Recently I posted the preview link for Deep Deck's preview Kickstarter, and I received some high quality feedback from r/cardgames, so I tool some time to reach out to playtesters, film new content and tell the story better. Thank you all. Here is a link to the pre-launch kickstarter if you'd like to take a look or get notified. Pledging will open September 1st.

I posted this here a while back. It's a little widget that sits inside the Windows 11 taskbar and shows whatever's playing, so you're not alt-tabbing to Spotify or fighting that miniplayer that floats over your windows.

The thing people kept asking was basically "why Spotify only?". Fair enough. So now it just follows whatever's actually playing. Spotify, YouTube in a browser tab, Apple Music, Windows Media Player, anything that reports to Windows. You switch player and it follows along.

The rest works like before. Play/pause, skip, a progress bar you can drag, and for Spotify the liked state, Smart Shuffle, repeat and volume. No login, no API keys, no account, it just reads the Windows media session.

There's an optional paid Pro for themes, a visualizer, synced lyrics and hotkeys if you want it, but everything above is free. Anyway, thanks to everyone who kept bugging me about the non-Spotify thing, you were right.

Here is a small preview of my project CodeSprites. The project combines a Duolingo‑like website with quests, achievements, and rewards, with a practice‑tool built on top of the Godot engine that runs targeted exercises based on each lesson. The tool itself can be run in the browser or installed locally on the student's computer.

It's been a passion project of mine for a long time; we're currently looking for some funding to continue development. I will be at Gamescom next week, let me know if any of you would like to meet up (business or otherwise, doesn't matter!).

After a lot of late nights, I finally launched my first iOS app: PixelPlay: IPTV Player.

It’s an IPTV player built specifically for iPhone & iPad.

I wanted something that felt more native to iOS and less cluttered than most IPTV apps.

Current features:
• M3U & Xtream support
• TV guide / EPG
• Multi-screen view
• PiP support
• Face ID protected channels
• No ads
• One-time unlock for $9.99 (no subscription)

Still super early, and I’d genuinely love honest feedback from iOS users.

What would you improve in an app like this?

App Store:
https://apps.apple.com/app/pixelplay/id6769178677

freecollageimage.com — a collage editor that runs entirely client-side. Photos are decoded, laid out and exported in the browser; nothing is uploaded. Vanilla JS and canvas, no framework, and it's also wrapped with Capacitor for the Play Store and App Store.

The part worth sharing here isn't the editor, it's the save step, because it broke in a way I couldn't detect from the code.

An anchor with the download attribute pointing at a data: URL works in every desktop browser. In an Android WebView it does nothing — no download manager is attached unless the host app wires one up, so the navigation is silently dropped. iOS Safari refuses download on data: and blob: URLs from a synthetic click. Neither throws, neither logs, there's no rejected promise to catch. The function just returns and the file never appears.

That's what made it expensive: there is no `if (downloadWorked)`. Chrome DevTools device emulation happily pretends it worked. You only find it by holding a phone. Mine was dead on mobile for months and nobody reported it, because a button that does nothing reads as user error rather than as a bug.

Two different fixes. On Android, a native Capacitor plugin writes the bytes to storage. On iOS, navigator.share({files}) — and there the catch is transient user activation: an await consumes it, so the base64 → File conversion has to be synchronous. fetch(dataUrl).then(r => r.blob()) and canvas.toBlob() both lose the gesture and the share sheet is dismissed without a word. The ugly charCodeAt loop exists purely to stay inside the handler.

The compromise I'm still not happy about: on iOS the user taps "Save" and gets a share sheet where "Save Image" is one option among a dozen apps. It isn't a download and doesn't look like one.

Happy to go into either fix.

When I first started using AI seriously, I wasted a surprising amount of time jumping between prompt lists, tutorials, bookmarks, random documents and tools.

The information wasn't really the problem.

The problem was turning all of it into something I could actually use when I had work to do.

So I started building my own small library of structured guides.

What began as a few personal notes eventually grew into 20 practical PDF playbooks for tasks such as:

• researching competitors and markets
• writing SEO content
• creating landing page copy
• planning email campaigns
• building lead magnets
• writing YouTube scripts
• repurposing existing content
• organizing AI research
• improving productivity
• creating repeatable AI workflows
• planning affiliate and marketing campaigns

I wanted each guide to answer one simple question:

“I need to do this task — what should I actually do next?”

I finally put the whole project together here:

https://digitalworldpulse.com/ai-productivity-and-marketing-toolkit/

It's still very much a work in progress, so I'd love feedback from people who build and use this kind of stuff.

What topic would make the collection more useful to you?

Disclosure: Digital World Pulse is my own project. The complete toolkit uses a sponsor-unlock page, and I may receive compensation if an eligible sponsor offer is completed.

There are plenty of tools in this space but i couldnt find any that handled both TTS and STT without sending my data to the cloud, so i got to work with my brother to design this. I can't take credit for the UI design, that was my brother.

I built Sitemapper after getting tired of checking a sitemap, then checking pages, then checking robots, then trying to remember what changed after the last deploy.

It does that in one pass. Give it a public site and it reads robots.txt, discovers XML sitemaps, checks live pages, and keeps a snapshot so later runs can tell you what actually changed.

The part I care about most is not an SEO score. It is catching boring regressions like a page turning noindex, a canonical moving, a URL disappearing, or the sitemap suddenly shrinking.

If you try it on something weird or messy, I would like to know where it falls over.

I was looking for a way to interact better with my feeds, and I love the aesthetic of the old school newspaper. First, I built a python script to create it. But now I made it into an android app.

The basic idea is that you add your feeds, then choose which some to star, the app gets all the ones from the starred feeds and some of the others and build the news paper. See some example outputs here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nF8saFKpJxEzxMFe0eL7vkm4mP3mJnj3?usp=sharing

I am looking for testers now, if this sound interesting to you reach out with your email and I will add to the beta testing list!
