I like the way Duolingo turns learning into short and interactive sessions.

But most of the things we want to learn are already somewhere else: in PDFs, articles, documentation, blog posts, videos or internal knowledge.

So we built scibly: you give it existing content or knowledge and scibly turns it into a short, interactive learning experience instead of something you just read or watch once.

Everything can be edited afterwards, and you can use the result yourself or share it with others.

We’re building Scibly open source under AGPLv3.

GitHub: https://github.com/scibly-dev/scibly

Curious what kind of content you would turn into a learning experience first.

Quick backstory: I'm not a developer. No CS degree, never written a line of Swift before this. But I kept missing return deadlines, forgetting free trials before they turned into paid subscriptions, and losing track of invoice due dates — so instead of just complaining about it, I decided to try building the fix myself using Claude Code (Anthropic's AI coding tool) as my actual dev partner.

The result is Untilly: you photograph a receipt, contract, invoice, or trial confirmation (or upload it as a PDF), it detects the relevant date, and reminds you before it's too late. A few decisions I made early on:

The AI only ever suggests a date — you always confirm it against the real document before it's saved. I didn't want a "trust the black box" tool for something people rely on.
No account, no cloud, everything stays on your phone.

Different wording for different situations (a return deadline feels different from a trial about to charge you, so the app treats them differently).
What surprised me building this without a coding background: the app itself came together faster than I expected, but everything around it — App Store Connect, subscription setup, tax forms, privacy questionnaires — ate at least as much time as the actual product. Nobody warns you about that part.
I also tried adding a Share Extension (send a PDF straight from Mail/Files into the app) and had to abandon it after fighting an entitlements bug for hours — sometimes you just cut scope and ship what works.

It's live now on the App Store, free to try with a few tracked items, optional premium for unlimited: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6792659522

Curious whether other non-technical folks here have tried building with AI tools instead of learning to code or hiring out — did it actually hold up once you got past the prototype stage?

I’ve been building Tapquence, a visual automation app for macOS.

The idea is simple: repetitive work shouldn’t keep taking your time. Tapquence lets you build visual macros without code, combining actions such as opening apps and websites, typing text, clicking, scrolling, waiting and working with content on your screen.

It also includes ready-made Smart Automations. Presentation Mode can prepare your Mac for a meeting by checking your calendar, opening the relevant meeting app, launching your presentation and websites, silencing notifications and adjusting the volume. Routine Scout can observe a workflow you choose to perform and help identify repeated steps that could become an automation.

This short video shows the current version. It’s still evolving, so I’d genuinely appreciate feedback on what feels useful, what remains unclear and which automation you would want us to add next.

Tapquence is available directly from our website. The Mac download is signed and notarized by Apple.

What repetitive task on your Mac would you most like to automate?

Hey everyone. I built an app called Aera for Apple Watch and iPhone, and this is the first time I have shown it outside of a few friends who run.

The reason it exists is pretty dumb honestly. I run the same three routes near my flat, over and over, and I could never tell if I was actually getting fitter or just having a good day. Average pace lies to you because of traffic lights and hills and whether you started too fast. So the piece I cared about most was matching runs on the same roads and showing you those exact stretches side by side over months. Watching one of my loops drop time was way more motivating than any chart I had before.

The other half is readiness, and I wanted it to reflect how recovered you actually are, not a score that always floats back toward average. Same with the week, it gets scored as a week rather than pretending one good session saves it.

I ended up running a spring off it and took a 5K PB free, no plan, no block, just doing easy days properly.

It is my app, made solo. App Store link if you are curious: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6762456252

I built Munder Difflin, a free and open source desktop app (Electron) that runs a multi-agent harness locally on your machine. It wraps CLI agents you already have, Claude Code included, so your clone works with your actual setup instead of making you migrate anything. It supports 10 CLI agent providers off the shelf.

What it does: you give it your workflows and it runs them on your machine while you’re away. Talk mode lets you orchestrate by voice, MemPalace gives agents a shared memory so they hand off work to each other, and Slack and webhook triggers let you kick off runs remotely.

How Claude Code helped: I built basically the whole thing with it. 300+ commits on the repo are co-authored by Claude. It did the Electron scaffolding, most of the agent orchestration layer, the process management for keeping long-running agents alive, and a lot of the refactors when I went from supporting one CLI provider to ten. The voice orchestration in Talk mode was almost entirely Claude Code sessions.

It’s free. Read the repo or grab the build from GitHub, no account, no key required beyond whatever CLI agent subscription you already have. I’ll add repo in comments

Happy to answer questions about the architecture.

A few months ago, I was trying to stay consistent with tracking my macros, but every major app felt like a hostile cash grab. The moment you try to scan a barcode or read a label, you are hit with a paywall asking for an expensive yearly subscription. On top of that, half the local products in my grocery store were completely missing from their databases anyway.

I decided to build Visibite to fix both issues. My philosophy was simple: core tracking, including barcode scanning, packaging OCR, and manual logging, should be 100% free and completely ad-free forever.

To monetize sustainably without ruining the core user experience, I added an optional AI assistant that handles plate photo scanning, meal feedback, and healthier food swaps. Free users can use all AI features with ads, while an optional Pro tier ($1.99/month or $9/year) removes ads entirely, enables cloud sync, and supports up to four profiles.

Before launching publicly on Google Play, I gave early builds to a group of friends and family. Watching non-tech friends and family members actually stick to logging their meals daily, without complaining about paywalls or missing regional products, was the exact validation I needed to finish the project.

Now that it is officially live on Android (and with the iOS version currently under active development), I am looking to get feedback from fellow indie builders.

I would love to hear your thoughts on the product, the monetization model, or what features you would like to see next. You can check it out directly on Google Play!

Around 2-3 weeks ago I launched my SaaS, SeoLoupe.

It is a lightweight SEO tool that helps you find and fix SEO issues holding your website back, currently I am at 432 users and 5 paying users.

Essentianly the main purpose is to help your website rank higher on Google search and LLMs.

Since I am always trying my best to improve the product, I am happy to answer any questions or any feedback in the comments.

(here is the product if you want to check it out)

What it does: Click the Dock icon and a panel pops up holding named "stacks" of your favourite apps, folders, files, and website bookmarks — instant access without cluttering your actual Dock or Desktop.

Some of what's in it:

• Drag and drop to add anything, including URLs straight from your browser
• Password-protect individual stacks (Keychain-backed, auto-lock)
• Global keyboard shortcut to show/hide from anywhere
• Menu bar mode if you'd rather not use the Dock at all
• Multi-select, custom grid sizes, tab colour tinting
• Fully local — no accounts, no tracking, no network access

This is my first shipped Mac app, built from wanting faster access to the stuff I actually use every day. One-time payment 4.99USD or equivalent, no subscription.

App Store: https://apple.co/3Rz9FB6

Would love any feedback — recent launch, still learning a ton.

Hey everyone,

Full disclosure up front: this is my own project, so read this as a builder sharing progress, not a pitch.

I've always loved reading, but I almost never get through a 300-page book. Life gets in the way, I lose momentum, and by the time I pick it back up I've forgotten half of what happened.

So I built MinuteRead an app for reading micro books in a few minutes instead of committing to the full book.

Where it's at right now:

• 5,000+ books summarized
• One new book free every day
• 50 books free to read anytime, no subscription needed
• $0.50/month for the first 100 people who join (yes, fifty cents)
• iOS is live, Android is in progress
• Goal : $1K MRR by the end of 2026

A couple of things worth clarifying on who this actually helps:

If you're a hardcore reader who loves physical books and full-length reading, this isn't meant to replace that. Think of it as a preview tool read the micro book summary first, then decide whether the full book is actually worth your money and time before you buy it.

And if you're someone who doesn't have much time to read but still wants to learn something new every day including lessons from other people's mistakes so a 30-45 minute micro-book can teach you a surprising amount. Startups, money, relationships, spirituality, general self-help there's a lot packed into that format.

I'm treating this as a public experiment rather than a quiet side project. The goal is $1K MRR by the end of 2026 no idea if that's realistic, but I'd rather post the real numbers as I go, flops included, than pretend I've got it figured out.

If anyone's curious enough to try it, I'd genuinely appreciate honest feedback. I'll keep adding books and shipping improvements based on what people tell me.

FIRST BACKLINKS EXCHANGE FOR BUILDERS INSIDE YOUR CODING AGENT

Asked yesterday how you're all getting backlinks. Here's my answer.

The trade always dies at placement. Both sides agree, then someone has to open an editor, find the right page, write the sentence, commit, deploy.

Your agent is already in the repo. Now it writes the link, in your own words.

builders/backlinks is live.

Free. Open source. My first open source project.

Would love feedback. DM me if you want to contribute.

Approving everyone in the morning.

Hey everyone,

I created an AI tool that helps businesses creates ads within a few taps you have something that can perform really well.

There is a free package that gives users a platform ready ad copy, multiple image variations for several platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and X.

Would really appreciate some feedback on

1. Is the site clean, professional, friendly, does it do its purpose?
2. Is the free plan useful enough?
3. Does it feel trustworthy? (If not, let me know why)
4. How does the image generation feel, does it actually do what its supposed to do?
5. Is this idea worth pursuing?

The website is here: trykrezo.com

Happy to generate some free ad packages if anyone wants to try it and tell me what they think.

Thanks in advance.
