I created a website that helps website owners figure out how to get real traffic.

So, how does it work?
You connect your website using its code or URL, and then the AI researches your website and creates a full workspace that allows you to know everything you need to know.
From finding where to post and whether AI recommends you or your competitors, to finding real contacts with emails, phone numbers, and names, getting detailed information about your competitors, creating blog content for your website, and using AI agents that allow you to automate tasks or understand new things you didn't even know about.
I want to get real feedback. What do you think I can add to make this website give users the best results? If you have any feature ideas, tell me and I'll take care of them!

Introducing BecomeTen — selfie analysis with a free basic result

BecomeTen is a small web product for people curious about AI face analysis and grooming feedback. It runs in the browser: upload a selfie, get a basic AI rating for free, and optionally purchase a more detailed report and improvement plan.

The product pairs the score with suggestions, rather than stopping at a number. The rating is an estimate from a photo, not an objective measure of someone’s attractiveness.

For other independent businesses here: is the distinction between the free result and paid report clear on the landing page? Feedback on the offer and first-use experience would be useful.

I built a discovery network and need SaaS founders to test it

https://www.agman.app/

I’ve been building AGMAN and the app is now live.

I need a few SaaS founders to register, add a real product and test the full flow.

I mainly want feedback on the listing process, categories, final profile and anything that feels confusing or missing.

Payments are also in test mode, so no real money is involved if you want to test that flow too.

If you have a SaaS and don’t mind testing an early product, try it here:

Tell me what’s broken or what you would change.

Feedback wanted on MacOS-native AI image editor

25 spots open now -- you get the app for free, for life. All I ask is for your feedback

I have spent the last six months building the futuristic image editor Hollywood promised us -- combining generative AI features with a modern content-aware graphical image editor.

DepthField Photo sees what's in your image and proposes styles and filters to match. The Object Selection tool automatically selects and masks your objects.

I recently added the Emotion Editor, Face Retouching, Depth bokeh and Relight, Sunrays, Auto Enhance Portrait, Sky replacer, custom style transfers, and a ton more powerful features.

All the latest genAI models too: GPT-Image 2.5 Sunburst, Nano Banana 2, SeeDream 4.5, Muse image, Grok Imagine Image 2, FLUX.3 Image, Recraft v4.1, and about 50 others, fully integrated.

No subscriptions, no webapp to sign in to, you can even bring your own key to any of the top GenAI providers to power the AI features. (Note: it needs Apple Silicon with MacOS 26+ to run)

I call it DepthField Photo (unofficially, I called it Photoslop.io for the first few months until it started getting actually good 😂 ): https://depthfield.photo

How to stay at $0 MRR for another 6 months

  1. Add AI to something nobody asked for.

  2. Rewrite your landing page 14 times without talking to one customer.

  3. Spend three days choosing between .com and .ai.
    Tell yourself distribution will start after the product is “done.”

  4. Get 3 signups and immediately build an analytics dashboard for them.

  5. Post “launching soon 👀” for the seventh time.

  6. Check Stripe.

Still $0.

Beautiful.

Welcome back to the club.

Start-up creative phase gold...ongoing sales- not so much!

Spent enormous amount of time & energy on start-up and I fizzled.

I started my own (website based) plant-based skincare line (just 4 complimentary products). I spent hours, days, weeks, months of my life dedicated to getting it off the ground from idea to launch. Spend like $5K in costs.

I did everything myself ( formulation & product testing, writing business plan & pricing model, website, product photos, Canva social media ads -- everything). And I was so focused and excited every step of the way ( a few frustrations aside).

Then I launched 2 months ago & I didn't do too bad at all! 14 orders. I think thats excellent & Im really proud of all my hardwork. Didn't make much money compared to the $5K I spent though.

But I lost my passion and focus. I stopped social media posting and now haven't had any orders in 3 weeks. I kind of dont care about this whole thing anymore.

Im discovering I loved the idea & architecture stage -- but hate the customer acquisition & sales stage. The thought of constant ad materials & constant sm posting makes me ill. I don't want to be an influencer and I really dont care to be on sm anyway.

This was always supposed to be a fun side gig for me, it is never intended to be large scale. But like I said, I lost my passion for it & its just sitting there now. (I have an unrelated full-time job btw).

Probably burned out. I'll just leave it alone & see if my love is rekindled & go back to it if needed. I don't know what to do! I put so much work into it! I started just from the joy of creating and didn't care about $. Now that the creation is born, I lost interest.

I built a free app to lend & borrow books with people in your neighborhood. Would love your feedback!

Hey everyone! 👋
I'm an indie developer working on Book Xchange, a hyperlocal, map-based app for lending and borrowing books with people nearby. Think "Goodreads meets your neighborhood."

www.lendandborrowbooks.com

IG : @lendandborrowbooks

How it works:
📚 Post the books you're willing to lend
🗺️ Browse what's available near you
⭐ Save books to a wishlist
🤝 Meet up and swap, no shipping, no fees
🔒 Coming soon: Book Protection (not live yet)
Lender-set refundable deposits
Photo check-in of the book's condition at handoff
Deposit released as soon as the book is returned

It's not on the App Store yet, but it's in beta testing. I'd love early users to:
Try it out and tell me what's confusing or missing
Post a few books so the shelves aren't empty for the next person
Say what would make you actually use it
Comment or DM me if you want a beta invite. I'm happy to answer any questions, and honest feedback (even harsh) is welcome.
Thanks for reading! 📖
