made my first app, a pomodoro timer where a little dog falls asleep while you focus

hey all, just shipped my first ever app and I'm kind of nervous posting it lol

it's called Puperino. basically I kept downloading pomodoro apps, using them for a week, then forgetting they existed. they all felt a bit cold and serious. so I made one with a little dog called Biscuit in it.

when you start a focus session he wanders over to his bed and curls up and naps. when you're done he sometimes brings you a little gift, which you can keep or trade for bones to buy stuff for his room. you can also dress him up, which I spent way too long on (he has a witch hat and a crown, it's very important)

not gonna lie, not wanting to wake him up has kept me focused better than any streak thing ever did 😅

it also does the usual stuff: the timer on your lock screen, tasks, stats, and a stay mode if you're like me and pick up your phone every 4 minutes

it's free. there's an optional pro with more rooms and stuff if you want to support me

would really love feedback, even if it's "this is buggy" or "this is pointless" haha. what would make you actually keep using a focus timer?

Chrome extension to convert webpages into one ePUB book.(I made it) Free with no limit.

Hey people,

If anyone saw my other post about converting scanned PDFs to EPUB, welcome back. I implemented a lot of features based on the feedback I got from the users, so check it out if you want. Anyways,

After building that, my friends said to me that they read a lot of stuff online[articles, newsletters, blogs] and bookmark them. They wanted a tool to read them offline, just the way they read their book, with a clean structure.

So I built a Chrome extension.

https://www.convert2epub.com/extension/

FEATURES

  • Add the current page from the toolbar popup or the right-click menu
  • Keep a running reading list; pages stay queued until you're ready to save
  • Drag to reorder chapters before you export
  • Give the book a custom title, or let it use the first page's title
  • Cover image and in-article images are pulled in automatically
  • Everything runs locally in your browser, no account, no external server
  • Works great with long-form articles, blog posts, and documentation pages

HOW IT WORKS

  1. Browse to a page you want to save and click "Add this page"
  2. Repeat for every page you want in the book
  3. Click "Save as EPUB"; your browser downloads a ready-to-read .epub file

Please try and tell me if you like it.

Free weekly newsletter!!!!

Application season is stressful, especially when every company seems to have a different CV format, online test, HireVue, interview and assessment centre.

I’m a Big 4 degree apprentice and I’ve started a free weekly newsletter called 75th Floor to help students get through the process.

Each week I cover things like:

  • Finding opportunities worth applying for
  • CVs and applications
  • Online tests and HireVues
  • Interviews and assessment centres
  • Commercial awareness
  • Practical tips I’ve picked up along the way

I wanted to make something that actually tells you what to do, rather than another generic careers page telling you to “network” and “believe in yourself”.

It’s completely free if anyone wants it:

https://75th.beehiiv.com

If you're applying this year, hopefully it helps.
