I developed Weather World because I wanted a simpler, more helpful way to stay ahead of the forecast. I truly believe that a weather app should be a tool that makes your life easier, not a source of distraction with ads and confusing menus.

How it helps you: The core of the app is all about visual clarity. I’ve focused on creating intuitive graphs that let you see temperature shifts and precipitation trends at a single glance. Instead of reading through long lists of numbers, you can visualize exactly how your day will unfold. It’s minimalist, lightweight, and built for speed—perfect for anyone who values a clean Android experience.

I’d love your support! Please give it a try and see if it helps your daily routine. If you find it useful, please recommend it to your friends! As a solo developer, your support and word-of-mouth are what help me improve and grow.

In compliance with the community rules, I’ve shared the link via IndieAppCircle. Check it out there and let me know what you think!

Introducing LeakScope: A Security Scanner for Supabase Applications

Introducing LeakScope, again.

we've been updating it : )

LeakScope is a security scanner built for Supabase applications. Paste your app's public URL, and it checks what an attacker can learn from the outside—from exposed keys and public data access to weak RLS, leaked credentials, and insecure frontend configuration.

We've introduced two scanning modes:

Light Scan — Paste a public app URL to instantly check for exposed keys, public data exposure, leaked credentials, weak RLS, and risky frontend configuration. No account required.

Deep Scan — Authenticate to validate Row Level Security, test BOLA/IDOR, analyze JWT security, and generate detailed reports for real security validation.

Whether you're a solo founder, indie hacker, or vibe coder shipping MVPs at 2 AM, LeakScope gives you a fast way to see what your app is exposing before everyone else does.

1,936 websites scanned.
13,679 security findings identified.

Try it out at leakscope[.]tech

Drop your startup idea and I’ll check if Reddit has demand for it.

I’ve been testing this with founders over the last few weeks and already checked 200+ startups/ideas.

You can drop your startup URL, app idea, ICP, niche, or the problem you want to solve.

I’ll look for useful Reddit signal: real pain, tool requests, alternative searches, niche conversations, and any sign of buying intent.

I’ll reply with a short public summary.

If there’s enough signal, I can also send a private report link with the full breakdown.

I’ll be honest if Reddit looks like a weak channel for your niche too.

Drop yours below.

I built a Chrome extension that catches doomscrolling before it turns into an hour

I realized I kept opening YouTube and Reddit without even deciding to.

So I built Lucid — a Chrome extension that interrupts autopilot scrolling with calming reset overlays, breathing goals, and awareness prompts before the doomscroll spiral starts.

Still early, but it’s already helping me become way more intentional online.

Organic distribution with zero budget - what worked for you?

Hey everyone 👋

My wife and I launched our first app, a cozy pixel companion for well-being. It’s a bit like a Tamagotchi: you play with a pixel pet alongside small daily practices like breathing, mood check-ins, gratitude, journaling, focus timers, and ambient sounds.

The build was the easy part. Distribution is kicking my butt. I was laid off a few months ago, so I’ve got no capital for paid ads and want to keep things as minimal as possible for now.

I’ve been trying to keep it organic, posting in threads, TikTok, Instagram, and it’s super slow going.

I’d love advice from anyone who’s been through this:

what actually moved the needle early on with no budget?

Did organic ever compound for you?

Anything you wish you’d done differently in the first few months?

Also genuinely open to feedback on the app itself if you give it a try.

I had zero coding experience, used AI, and built a social media app from a Greek island — here's where I'm at

Six months ago I couldn't write a line of code.

I'm a 47 year old British guy who moved to the Greek islands 26 years ago. I had an idea I couldn't shake — build a private photo sharing app that was genuinely ad-free. No algorithms. No strangers. Just photos shared between people who actually know each other.

So I started building it using Firebender AI and Android Studio. No experience. No background in development. Just stubbornness and a lot of late nights.

The result is PicFlick.

What it does:

— Private photo sharing with friends and family only

— Direct chat and reactions

— No ads. Ever. Not now, not in the future

— Free to use, pay only for storage beyond 1GB

— Friends-only connections with approval

Where I'm at right now:

— Live on Google Play in 177 countries

— A handful of real users

— One 4 star review that made my day 😂

— Trying to figure out how to get from 10 users to 100

The cold launch reality has been brutal — Facebook groups reject every post, Reddit karma is a wall, Hacker News blocked me, Product Hunt got 1 upvote 😂

But I'm still here.

Would genuinely love feedback — especially on the onboarding experience and whether the value proposition is clear enough.

Promoting your app

Hi all, I am a new dev and was wondering what are the best ways to promote or get my app in front of its audience. Trying here on Reddit is hit or miss as it sometimes breaks a self promotion rule. Not looking to make millions, just get my app out there a bit more. Thanks in advance.

I built a free hub for Play Store developers who need testers

I built TestLaunch because I keep seeing Play Store developers posting that they need testers, feedback, or people to join their testing links.

TestLaunch is a free place to list your app, share your testing link, and let testers find projects that need help.

You can add your app name, platform, category, test duration, contact email, description, testing link, and what kind of feedback you are looking for.

The goal is simple: give Play Store developers one clean page to share instead of chasing scattered tester posts everywhere.

It is brand new, so feedback is welcome.

can anyone rate this app

I built an AI personal finance and receipt scanner app called Snaptix in under 2 months with no prior coding experience.

It is live right now at snaptix-three.vercel.app

The app lets you upload receipts to automatically extract totals, track merchant names, and handle budget categories. It has a custom dashboard with visual charts, multi-level layout tracking, and a smart image verification loop that filters out blurry files right on your device.

Can you rate the app based on the user interface, design, and layout. Please suggest any visual improvements or UX tweaks I should make before doing a bigger launch.

If you want to see the specific system architecture diagrams or code pipelines just ask me and I will drop them in the comments.

Its been a month and I only have 25 signups - How can I improve?

So about a month ago, I started building an app that lets you log the nationalities of people you meet so you can see how international your life is and how far your globe can reach...

Initially I built it because I wanted a way to visualize and remember all the cool people I've met but I thought might as well post it on reddit an see if other people might want to try it as well.

But as soon as I started posting on reddit, I started to chase numbers and felt like my app was worthless because I didn't get much signups.

Should I continue or honestly just stop? Let me know

Edit: this is the app -> humandex

I built a debate app for civility. Users wanted to be toxic.

So I’m obsessed with debate, I’ll be honest, and I’ve noticed, as I’m sure we all have, that discourse in recent years has gotten really toxic.

It’s either a dogpile, throwing insults, being condescending, I don’t need to rehash what I imagine we all already know.

I built an app where people could swipe on topics, get matched with someone who disagrees, and get a score on their civility. The idea was that if you’re always an asshole, your shitty civility score would follow you and no one would want to talk to you.

I added a feature in passing called toxic mode that did not judge your civility. Spew your venom, no holds barred.

That was the idea.

Every time I got an install on the app, every single user immediately jumped into toxic mode. Out of 100+ downloads, not a single person wanted to have a civil discussion. They wanted the messy version. The heated version. The version that felt more like a chaotic internet argument than a polite debate club.

So I stopped fighting it and built a lightweight browser version where you can just pick a topic and jump in:

https://thinklavender.com/ragebait

The goal is still to get people talking to people they disagree with. Maybe the first step is not making everyone perfectly civil. Maybe it is just getting them in the same room.

And if that room has to be a little toxic to get people through the door, so be it.

Would love feedback on the idea and whether this feels like something people would actually try.

Where do you keep evidence of startup progress while building?

I’m doing market validation around a problem I keep seeing with early-stage founders:

A lot of progress happens while building product decisions, screenshots, MVP changes, pitch decks, user interviews, landing pages, design iterations, metrics, blockers, small wins but it often ends up scattered across Notion, Google Drive, WhatsApp, GitHub, Figma, Trello, random screenshots, or memory.

I’m trying to understand if this is actually a real pain point for founders or just something that sounds important in theory.

This is mostly for people currently building something: a startup, MVP, prototype, demo, side project, or active project with real progress.

I made a short 3–5 minute form to understand:

- how founders currently document progress

- what tools they use

- what they choose to share publicly vs keep private

- whether a clearer project timeline/build journal would be useful

- whether sharing selected updates for feedback feels valuable or uncomfortable

Form: https://forms.gle/5c7UQxygAp7kgQJ89

No email required unless you want to be contacted for a short follow-up.

Also happy to hear answers directly here:

How do you currently keep track of your project’s progress, and where does that evidence usually end up?

New dad building a shared baby tracker looking for honest feedback

Hi everyone,

I’m a new dad and the solo developer behind Milli, a baby tracker that is now available on Android and iOS.

I started building it after trying several alternatives and finding that many useful features required subscriptions. My goal was to create a free, ad-supported tracker where the core functionality isn’t locked behind a paywall.

Milli tracks feeding, sleep, diapers, medicine, temperature, growth, and milestones. Its main differentiator is real-time family sync: one parent or caregiver logs an activity, and everyone else can immediately see it. It also works offline and supports multiple children.

I added an unusual feature too: built-in Solitaire and Tile Pop. They’re intended for passing the time during long nighttime feeds or while waiting for the baby to settle.

The app is live, but I’m still refining its positioning and presentation. I would particularly appreciate feedback on these two questions:

  1. Is the combination of family sync and no subscription paywall a clear, compelling differentiator?
  2. Do the built-in games feel like a thoughtful addition, or do they distract from the app’s main purpose?

Android:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.milli.babymonitor

iOS:
https://apps.apple.com/us/app/milli-baby-tracker-log/id6761766193

Thank you direct and critical feedback is very welcome.

I checked 100+ startup ideas for Reddit demand. Drop yours and I’ll run another batch.

I haven’t done one of these for a few days, so I’m opening another batch.

You don’t need a polished landing page.

Drop your startup URL, app idea, ICP, niche, or just the problem you want to solve.

I’ll check whether Reddit has useful signal for it:

  • people talking about the pain
  • users asking for tools or alternatives
  • conversations around your niche
  • signs of buying intent
  • subreddits that actually fit your ICP

I’ll reply with a short public summary.

If there’s enough signal, I’ll also create a private report link with the full breakdown.

And if Reddit looks weak for your niche, I’ll say that too.

Drop it below and I’ll run as many as I can.
