Could be an office problem or home issues
I love building stuff but run out of ideas so i was wondering if you had some idea but couldnt execute it well!
I'm validating an idea before building it.
Most apps connect people based on interests or a few profile questions. But interests change, and anyone can say they're ambitious.
What if people matched based on:
• Long-term goals (financial freedom, starting a business, career growth, fitness, etc.)
• Lifestyle (morning person, night owl, minimalist, etc.)
• Weekly habits (reading 4x/week, coding 5x/week, gym 3x/week)
The key difference is that connections are based on consistent habits, not just answers during sign-up.
For example, if someone says they want financial freedom but never works toward it, they're probably not the best match for someone who consistently reads, builds projects, and learns every week.
I first imagined this for finding a life partner—someone whose actions align with your future, not just your hobbies. The same idea could also help people find co-founders, accountability partners, or career-focused friends.
Would you use something like this? What would make you try it—or what would stop you?
I have been researching pain points for households and one thing keeps coming up — expiration dates.
Not food. The expensive stuff nobody tracks:
I looked at what exists. There are apps for warranties only, apps for food only, apps for documents only. Nothing that says "here's everything in your household that will expire, sorted by what's coming up soonest."
So I'm building Life Shelf Life one dashboard, all of it, email reminders at 30 days / 7 days / 1 day before anything expires. $5/month for a household of up to 5.
I'm not American so I genuinely can't tell if this is a real pain or if I'm solving something people just deal with. That's why I'm here.
Is this something you'd pay for? What am I missing?
For drinks such as regular coffee or tea i thought you could have liquid or solid capsules you can add to your drink that give extra flavour. Vanilla, chocolate, mint, orange etc. It could be like adding a mixture containing vanilla essence or another flavour to add a twist to your drink. It could be easy, quick, like adding a spice. Also the type of tea and coffee could be regular but the extra flavour added could make it more vibrant.
There’s a discord community for dating app development discussion. If you’re a software developer willing to help or just someone that wants the old okcupid back (before Match Group acquisition), drop a comment and I’ll try to get you added to the group.
How u guys remember right people from your network when required ? like its frustrating for me to find some in phone contact , some in linkedin etc
For most of my life I tried to be someone else. I'd find someone I admired, decide they were better than me, and copy them. That mindset pushed me into a business I never enjoyed and only started because I looked up to one specific guy. It failed. I felt completely lost.
Around that time I was obsessively tracking my sleep with a Whoop, trying to optimize it. I kept getting good recovery scores. And I was still exhausted, yawning through entire afternoons, dead by 2pm. That's when it clicked: the score doesn't do anything. It just confirms you slept well or badly. Cool. Now what? Knowing isn't fixing.
So I built the thing I actually wanted. It takes the data your wearable already collects sleep, recovery, heart rate, and turns it into a daily protocol instead of another number. It tells you what supplements to take based on your metrics, predicts your most productive hours and gives you the exact time window when you should do deep focus tasks and light focus tasks, it tells you how much caffeine you have in your system left based on your first coffee taken and notifies you when you should take the next caffeinated drink for maximum productivity, it even tells you when to nap so your energy lasts the whole day instead of crashing and much more...
It's on the App Store as RizeAI https://apps.apple.com/us/app/rizeai-maximize-your-energy/id6762402079. i built by myself, it's early stage right now, and I want honest feedback, what's confusing, what's missing, what you'd never use. Tear it apart.
hi folks i recnelty finished off an app i made which is a fitness lifestyle dashboard
and since doing this i have been searching for a new project to work on and was wondering if anyone may have any ideas that may be of use for this
thanks, Jamie
Hey everyone! 👋
Today I'm starting a project I've been thinking about for a while, and I've decided to build it completely in public.
The idea came from a habit that unexpectedly worked for me.
I have a cupboard covered with photos of scientists, inventors, artists, and people I deeply admire people like Leonardo da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Marie Curie, Alan Turing, A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, and many others.
Whenever I made a promise to myself (like avoiding junk food) and broke it, I would remove one of their photos from my cupboard with my own hands.
It sounds simple, but it worked because I wasn't losing points or breaking a streak I was losing a symbol of someone I admired.
That made me wonder:
What if a productivity app was built around admiration instead of streaks?
So I'm building Hall of Legends.
The idea is simple:
This isn't meant to replace habit trackers. It's an experiment in making discipline feel more personal and meaningful.
From today onward, I'll be posting daily updates designs, features, mistakes, progress, and lessons learned.
I'd genuinely love your feedback because I want to build something people actually enjoy using.
Day 0 ✅
Today's progress:
What would motivate you more: losing a streak, or seeing a mentor you admire disappear from your Hall after breaking a promise?
I'm a student dev who can ship real things, but I keep building stuff that's technically cool and useless to anyone but me. Tired of it. So instead of building first and hunting for users, I want to start from a real pain.
What's something in your work or daily life that software could fix but nobody has? The boring "I can't believe I still do this manually" stuff is exactly what I want — bonus points if it's a field I'd never think of (nursing, farming, teaching, whatever). I'll read every reply and probably build the best one.
Hi, I was wondering if it would be a good idea to build a sort of "mega-app" like Odoo, where you can add mini-apps (coded in a custom language) that can communicate with each other and share the same database. Basically, a personal version of Odoo—for example, a "plants" module that adds watering reminders to your calendar. Is this a good idea? Is there a real need for it? I was thinking of using Flutter and Rust.
I keep wasting 20-40 min on youtube videos that promise "the exact strategy" and then its mostly funnel/pitch/filler, maybe 3 min of actual content stretched into 18.
thinking about building a small extension that checks if the video actually delivers on what the title promises, gives you the real payoff timestamps so you can skip straight to them, and flags when its basically just a funnel for a course/call/offer instead of real content.
would yall actually use this or is it a "cool idea, never installing it" kind of thing

I'm tired of taking time to shower. So much to do! Run the water, soap up, clean the hair, dry off. Clean the shower, clean the shower door.
There should be a pill you can take that instantly kills all the bacteria that makes you dirty and stinky while not touching good bacteria. Or some kind of laser you walk through that cleans all over. C'mon this is 2026, what are doing having to shower to clean ourselves?
At the very least we need a human form of car wash. Just sit still and a machine does all the work.
Hey r/webdev,
Hope everyone is doing well in this heatwave. As the title says, genuinely curious about your workload and what kind of API would change things for you for the better.
PS: I might do it.
Cheers!
I'm looking for my next project, but I don't want to build another portfolio app that no one ends up using.
So, what's something you've always wished existed? It can be a website, app, browser extension, CLI tool, AI tool, or anything else.
What's the problem, and why do existing solutions fall short?
If I find an idea that resonates with enough people, I'll build it and share it with the community. I'm especially interested in solving real problems, even if they're niche.

Hi everyone,
I built a simple website where anyone can start talking instantly.
Features:
\- No login
\- No signup
\- Free to use
\- Just open the website and start chatting
I'd love to hear your feedback and suggestions.
Website: https://overhere11.vercel.app
Edit:
My main idea is to let people talk to random strangers without needing to share personal details. The goal is to enjoy the conversation, not collect information. If someone wants to share their details, that's their choice, but the platform isn't designed to make it easy for people to contact each other outside the chat.
