Hi everyone,

I didn't build this because I wanted to make "another AI app." I built it because I had a problem that kept driving me crazy.

For years I used WhatsApp and email as my memory. I'd send myself photos of documents, insurance papers, receipts, screenshots, shopping lists, links, random notes—basically anything I thought I might need later.

The problem wasn't saving things. The problem was finding them again.

Weeks or months later I'd remember "I know I sent myself that photo..." and then spend 20 minutes scrolling through chats or searching emails with the wrong keywords. Sometimes I'd never find it at all.

So I built an app for myself.

Now I just drop anything into it—a photo, document, screenshot, note, or link—and forget about it. When I need it again, I just type whatever I remember, and full-text search finds it almost instantly.

Then something happened that convinced me this was worth publishing.

While testing, I had taken a photo of a closed shelf just to see what the app would do with it. A while later I couldn't find my screwdriver, so as a joke I searched for "screwdriver." I honestly didn't expect anything... but the app found the photo of the shelf because it had recognized the screwdriver inside.

That was the moment I thought, "Okay... this might actually be useful for other people too."

I've been using it every day since then, and it's become one of those apps I don't really think about anymore—it just quietly stores everything until I need it.

I finally decided to publish it on Google Play, and I'd genuinely love some honest feedback. If there's something that feels awkward or missing, I'd much rather hear it now than after thousands of users.

If you prefer trying it in your browser first, there's also a web version at stowby.app

It might not sound like much, but seeing the first real people pay for something I built feels amazing.

Clipo is a clipboard manager and custom keyboard for iPhone and Android that lets you save, organize, and quickly paste your copied text, links, emails, prompts, addresses, and more—right from your keyboard.

As an indie developer, every install, purchase, and piece of feedback means a lot. These first 2 users are a small milestone, but it’s proof that someone found the app valuable enough to support it.

I’m already working on new features and improvements based on user feedback, and I’m excited to see where this goes.

If you’ve launched an app before, what was your first milestone? Was it downloads, revenue, reviews, or just getting your first user?

Thanks to everyone who’s supported the journey so far. 🚀

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.

A new, entirely improvisational, album by The JJ's! We are a Boston Based collective of artists seeking to explore raw expression. Soon we will record some more rehearsed music, and become boring old farts in the process. Our first show is 6/18, we are opening for techno DJ sets in Southie, (halogengirls3000 on instagram for details)

Anyways, we greatly appreciate anyone who checks this stuff out. The first song has spoken word by David House Jr, reciting an original poem. his instagram is ImpureQueso.

Hi everyone,

I’m the developer of HackerFlow, a native Android client for Hacker News.

I built it because I’m a daily HN reader and I wanted an app that felt pleasant to use while still having the features I personally missed in other readers.

Some of the main features:

✨ Clean native Android UI
🧵 Collapsed comment threads by default
🕘 Reading history for stories you forgot to save
⭐ Bookmarks for stories and comments
🗂️ Custom lists for organizing saved items
✍️ Upvoting, commenting, and story submission when logged in
🔒 No ads, no tracking, no paywalls

The app is written natively using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. You can browse without logging in, but logging in is needed for HN actions like upvoting, commenting, and submitting stories.

All current features are free. Local storage is used for bookmarks, reading history, and the HN session token.

I’m currently developing a 2D war RTS where victory isn't determined by having the biggest or most expensive army, but by having the most information.

My game's motto:

Intel over quantity and quality.

Don’t be put off by the current placeholder graphics; I am focused on perfecting the core mechanics and gameplay loop right now.

How it works: Every enemy unit follows one simple rule: take cover. When they do, they don’t become invisible to your units, but to you (the player), as they become increasingly transparent.

The player must also prioritize taking cover—staying exposed means receiving some "gifts" from the enemy artillery. The core gameplay loop revolves around staying hidden while gathering crucial intel via drones, which are high-cost, high-stakes assets with a limited operational lifespan (a few seconds).

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this approach to the RTS genre. If you're interested in following the development or seeing how the mechanics evolve, feel free to join the community:

In 1518, a woman in Strasbourg suddenly began dancing in the street and couldn't stop.

Within days, dozens joined her. Then hundreds. People danced for days, some collapsing from exhaustion, with reports that several even died.

To this day, no one knows exactly what caused this bizarre event. Was it mass hysteria, poisoned grain, or something else entirely?

Detailed explanation of event here:
