r/SideProject

We all know Linus' biggest pet peeve is the lack of system wide middle click autoscrolling. I built a universal solution called midscroll that operates at the kernel input level, meaning it perfectly replicates the Windows autoscroll behavior across every single application on both Wayland and X11. It anchors your cursor, uses the exact same speed curve you are used to, and runs entirely in the background.
FOSS under the Unlicense.
You can check out how it works here: https://github.com/gnhen/midscroll

EDIT: Now with a Settings menu GUI. Supports Hold & Drag as well as Toggle mode. Native scrolling mode supported.

Over the past few months I built GeoSwipe, an iOS app for learning about countries in depth through a more interactive format.

The idea is simple: you discover countries one at a time, swipe left to see another, or swipe right to open a detailed guide when one catches your interest.

Each guide covers basic geography, landscapes, culture, history, language, cities, government, economy, everyday life, and common misconceptions. It also includes audio, flag explanations, regional maps, interactive statistics, and references to the original sources. The content is grounded in reputable sources such as Britannica, the World Bank, and National Geographic.

I also added country comparisons, quizzes, and short geography games, including ranking countries by population, locating countries on the map, and flag and capital quizzes.

I’ve just released it on iOS and included a very short demo here. I’d genuinely appreciate honest feedback from fellow geography nerds.

What it is: BOOP! Point your phone at any dog or cat. It works out the breed on the device, cuts the animal out of the photo into a beautiful die-cut sticker, and pins it to a map where you met them. A Pokédex for pets that you actually meet. Free, no account, nothing leaves the phone.

I built it because the best part of any walk is meeting somebody's dog!

Where it is now: out for 2 days, 99 downloads, and the thing I did not expect is a user in Vietnam who found it on their own. 5% of anything it makes goes to UK animal welfare charities, published publicly, including the months where the amount is nothing.

Happy to answer anything about the project!

Hey everyone, I know there’s been a whole lot of posts about something someone has made, so I will try to make this worth your while. This is not a quick hit sort of project, so hopefully it has the depth that many of you have commented on wanting in this sub.

TLDR: I made seasondfs.com, a website to manage a fantasy league using the DFS format. The quickest way to check it out is the public demo demo.seasondfs.com or the page of screen shots (seasondfs.com/product-tour/). It’s active now for 2026 leagues.

I have so much I could say on this, so I am happy to go deeper in the replies. Today, there aren’t many options to use the DFS format (aka salary cap weekly lineups) in a traditional league setup. I have been running a free DraftKings league with an accompanying spreadsheet for a few years now. 

The league has turned into my favorite, so doing the manual spreadsheet work and dealing with DK has been worth it. Since last year, though, I decided I could make a website of my own and address all the things that I found lacking, while still holding onto the fun DFS part. 

I know this format isn’t going to appeal to everyone and I won’t make the argument it is better than anything else, just a potentially new way to enjoy fantasy.

It’s been posted about over the years, and even recently on this sub, but the core concept is you have your league, but instead of a draft from a single player pool and waivers and the roster management stuff, everyone just submits a weekly DFS lineup based on the rules you set for the league.

You may be interested if...

• you like DFS but wish you could customize the lineup structure, budget, and/or scoring
• you have a hard time assembling a draft day/time or getting enough league members to fill a league
• season-ending injuries upset you
• want to try something new
• want to try a mega league with a lot of members (this format supports any number in your leagues since there is no single player pool to pull from)
• you like ad-free and non-gambling focused ways to interact with your fantasy platform

You will want to skip if...

• you don't like DFS format
• require a mobile app
• want paid contests within the platform
• you don’t want to pay $24-39 for the software (beyond the free tier)

I've put a lot of work into this, am happy with where things are at now, and hopefully some others find this fun as well. A lot of the features have come from feedback and things I never considered myself (like the entire head-to-head format here).

Thanks for any comments in advance!

Hi r/iosapps!

About four months ago, I shared the first version of Hibi here. Many of you liked the app for its design and gave me great feedback, which I already implemented. I kept building, and version 3 now feels like a completely new app since you can now customize your calendar!

What it does (Answer): Hibi turns your existing Apple calendars and reminders into paper-like daily pages you can customize.

Why it’s different (Better): You can draw and write, customize the paper, arrange each page, create stickers and washi tape from your photos, and use Apple Pencil on iPad - so you remember your days.

Cost: The app is free to download, with no subscription. There’s an optional $6.99 lifetime in app purchase to unlock premium app icons and home screen widgets.

I’m the developer, and I’d love to hear what you think of how far it has come!

Having a large chunk of weekly session limit available I decided to play with the "Prompt Gauntlet" and Three.js to see what I could produce. The end result is a navigable Neo-noir machine city that will show either live session via -tail or playback of archived sessions. It has a chronogram that shows what tools are used in a session, what user/agent responses, subagent spawns, etc...

I've added and tested support for Claude Code and Codex but have yet to test the OpenClaw or Hermes modules. This was a fun project and I enjoy having it play on a monitor or up in a corner so I can watch Claude work. It is very satisfying when it spawns and dissolves subagents or compacts context.

It imports chosen sessions via Setup and can play them back on loop via Library mode. There is a built-in audio section with a few stations from SOMA.fm

Lastly, if you zoom out far enough it will take you to Fleet mode where you can see all your ingested sessions as a city.

I hope you have fun with it as well: https://github.com/brad-pierce/C-Space

Looking to refresh my website and looking for feedback! Most orders come from Amazon but the margins are a lot better if I drive more sales to my Shopify store. I try promoting ads on Meta but the conversion rate is very low. Looking to reduce friction at checkout and any tips or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

6 months ago I left a decade of fintech engineering in London to build Lyra solo ,a Mac writing assistant that fixes your writing as you type, in every app.

The problem I built it for: everyone I worked with had the same ritual. Type a message, re-read it four times, paste it into some tool, fix it, paste it back, tweak the tone, send. Multiply by 50 messages a day. And the tools that "help" all have the same flaws — they live in a separate window, they interrupt you with underlines while you're mid-thought, and they sand everyone down to the same polished-robot voice, whether you're messaging your boss or your best mate.

So Lyra works differently: you just type. Pause, and a small pill shows a better version — press Tab, done. No panel, no copy-paste, no clicks. It works in Gmail, Outlook, Slack, WhatsApp, your browser, wherever you write. And it learns how you write to each specific person, so your message to a client and your message to a friend don't come out sounding like the same press release.

Launched quietly in July. Show HN flagged my post. Reddit: silence. X: silence. Then one person paid ,a guy in France. I was thrilled for about an hour, which is how long it took him to uninstall: Lyra was freezing his Mac every minute.

Here's what that month taught me. I assumed the worst (memory leak), built instrumentation, ran controlled tests on identical hardware and my confident assumption was wrong. The real cause was a design decision I'd shipped without questioning. Fixed it, the freezing died, and he told me he'd reinstall ,he'd called Lyra "a really great product" while uninstalling it, which is the strangest compliment I've ever received.

Since then: fixed the biggest issues my ~30 early users hit, rebuilt the rough edges, made a proper demo. Relaunching today.

Mac only. 14-day full trial, free tier after, $9.99/mo for Pro.

Happy to answer anything , the debugging saga, why the first launch flopped, what one uninstall taught me that 30 signups didn't, or the unglamorous reality of marketing as a solo dev.

Hey all,

Sharing a project I have been working on, it's a jurisdiction focused open evidence/ uptodate solutions. https://primaryai.world/ A few points:

1. Answers in local units and guidelines unless US ones are more relevant.
2. Shows resistance patterns local to you for ID questions
3. Auto generates patient handout
4. Qualifies for non accredited CME credits
5. Setting awareness inpatient/ outpatient/ long term care
6. Local drug formularies awareness

I got tired of signal sellers with screenshot track records. Winners posted, losers deleted.

So I built the opposite. You post a prediction before the open. It gets hash-locked — no backdating. The market settles it automatically. Everything stays: wins, losses, even the entries that never filled. No accounts. Free. Open source.

Almost called it StockOverflow. Went with QuantRank500 — felt more like a race than homework. Everyone gets the same simulated $500. My own bot is user #1.

Two questions for this crowd: what would it take for you to actually trust a record like this? And what's the first way someone will try to game it?

demo.quantrank500.com if you want to poke it. Code's on GitHub.

Solo dev, day job in software. WorkFlow started because I kept forgetting to track my own hours and every existing app annoyed me in a different way: cloud account here, subscription there, geofencing behind a paywall everywhere.

The design decision that shaped everything: no backend. Not as a privacy marketing line, but literally the app has no server side.

What it does today (just shipped v1.5): auto clock-in/out via geofencing at up to 5 workplaces, overtime balance, PDF/CSV export, backups you can share or save to the phone. German and English.

Some numbers people ask about: roughly 31k lines of hand-written code, a third of that tests - the suite runs on an Android emulator before every push, because with local-only data a data-loss bug would be unrecoverable. About 80% of the actual work was edge cases I never planned for: OEM battery killers, GPS drift at the geofence boundary (fixed with hysteresis - exit radius is 1.2x entry), double notifications from two detection layers racing each other.

The part I haven't cracked: distribution. The app sits at a handful of installs because Play Store search is brutal for new apps in a category owned by Toggl and Clockify. This post is part of me finally doing marketing instead of adding features.

Play Store: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.timetracker.workflow

Ask me anything about the no-backend constraint, the geofencing stack (Flutter + native Kotlin), or what I would do differently.
