Fields - Personal Info Vault

Hi everyone,

We’ve built a minimal, privacy-focused personal data vault and are looking for beta testers for iOS.

Fields is designed to securely store personal information completely on-device with encryption. The app focuses on simplicity, privacy, and organization without accounts, ads, or cloud dependency by default.

Current features include:
• Encrypted on-device storage
• Face ID / Touch ID protection
• Custom fields and nested subfields for organizing data
• Secure vault-style UI for IDs, documents, notes, and sensitive info
• Export & import encrypted backups
• Privacy overlay when switching apps
• Minimal and clean design
• Offline-first experience

We’re especially looking for feedback on:
• Security & privacy behavior
• Face ID / Touch ID reliability
• Export/import flow
• App lock & overlay behavior while multitasking
• UI/UX consistency
• Performance and stability with lots of data

Please try adding random data, long notes, many fields/subfields, and stress test the app however you can.

If you’re interested in testing or giving feedback, feel free to comment or DM. Your feedback would really help us improve the app before launch.

I got tired of opening YouTube for “just one tutorial” and losing 2 hours to Shorts.

I got tired of opening YouTube for “just one tutorial” and losing 2 hours to Shorts.

So I built an extension called LockedIn.

The idea is simple: remove the addictive garbage from YouTube and keep only what’s useful.

LockedIn can hide:
• Shorts
• Homepage feed
• Recommended videos
• Comments
• Live chat
• Autoplay
• Search recommendations
and more.

I originally made it for myself because most existing blockers either:

  1. had way too many unnecessary settings,
  2. weren’t maintained anymore,
  3. or weren’t open source.

So I built a lightweight open source alternative focused on clean UI, speed, and actually staying updated when YouTube changes stuff.

I know extensions like Unhook and Untrap already exist, and honestly they’re good. But a lot of them aren’t open source, some aren’t actively maintained anymore, and some became bloated over time with confusing settings.

Honestly, YouTube feels way more peaceful now. You search for something, watch it, leave. No doomscrolling rabbit hole.

Indian devs building SaaS globally, what cloud provider are you actually using in 2026?

AWS and GCP pricing hits different when you're bootstrapped and every dollar matters. Most solo devs end up overpaying because managing infrastructure properly takes time we don't have.

Here's what I've been looking at:

  • AWS Direct: Cheapest if you know what you're doing, but you need to handle all the DevOps yourself. Easy to rack up bills if configs aren't optimized. (abit complex, deployment and management requires alot of manual config and work)
  • Kuberns: Been using this recently. AI deploys everything automatically from GitHub, no config files needed. Saves some money as there is no per-user pricing and cost is also not that high which helps when you're solo or have a small team.
  • Render/Railway: Simple to use but has per-user workspace fees on top of compute costs. Adds up fast once you scale.
  • Vercel/Netlify: Great for frontend. Vercel charges per developer seat ($20/month each on Pro). Backend and bandwidth pricing can surprise you. Free tier is solid though.
  • DigitalOcean: Predictable pricing, no per-user fees. But you still need to set up deployments yourself. And it’s abit complex (both deployment and managing it afterwards)
  • Fly.io: Developer friendly pricing, no per-seat charges. Mixed reviews on support though.

What's actually working for you in practice? Specifically: real monthly costs at different scales, how easy deployment actually is, and any billing surprises you ran into?

Looking to finalize my setup and just ship. Would love to hear real experiences. Thanks!

I got tired of scrolling through too long ChatGPT threads so built an extension to bookmark prompts

I remember asking too many questions in a single thread, leading to the chat interface becoming laggy, slow, and frustrating to navigate. Whenever I needed to refer back to a specific complex prompt or code snippet, I had to manually scroll through a massive wall of text.

I spent a week searching the web store for extensions to solve this, but found very few. The ones that did exist were hidden behind aggressive paywalls or were filled with bloated, useless features.

So, I built a lightweight, free extension that my friends and I now use daily to save time. It injects a clean navigation sidebar directly into the UI, allowing you to instantly bookmark and snap back to any message.

A working demo video is attached to show the execution.

Link to the extension is in the comments section.

Thanks .

Need some honest feedback on doora.to

Hey Guys,

I have been working on a side project with help of claude from few days. I have launched on public domain today.

I really need some honest feedback on it.

It's similar to what google plus codes is and what3words in UK did, but trying to ease the friction even further on sharing your location.

Even though this caters to indian customers now, but it can be used anywhere in the world

Please have a look at let me know.

I doubled from 6 to 12 paid customers in 2 months selling a single-feature SaaS that competes with AWS. From Bengaluru, solo

Hey folks,

Posted here a few months back about hitting my first 6 paid customers. Some of you signed up, one of you sent feedback that I shipped the next week. Thank you for that.

Crossed 12 paid subscribers this week. 165 USD MRR, 309 USD total revenue in 4.5 months. Small numbers, but the doubling in 2 months is what I want to talk about.

The single-feature thing

My product does exactly one thing. You send a file, you get a public URL back, it expires after a set time. That is it. No buckets, no folders, no team accounts, no dashboard.

For the first 3 months I thought this was a weakness. Every Twitter thread says to expand, add features, build a platform. I had a Notion doc of 40 features to build "when I have time."

Then I actually talked to my customers. None of them wanted any of those 40 things. They wanted the one feature to keep working and stay cheap. The smaller the surface, the harder it is to beat me on that surface.

The AWS framing

Calling this David vs Goliath was dramatic. I am not competing with AWS on storage or scale. I am competing on the 90 seconds between "I have a file" and "I have a public URL." That is the only place a single-feature product can beat a platform with 200 services.

My customers are not comparing me to S3 on price. They are comparing me to spending Saturday writing IAM policies.

What is open

Pricing. Average is 14 USD per customer. Probably too low, but I do not want to break trust with the 12 who trusted me first. Leaning toward grandfathering and raising for new signups. Argue me out of it.

Also: all 12 customers are outside India.

If anyone is sitting at 2 or 3 customers wondering if their product is too small to be a real business, it probably is not. Happy to answer anything in comments.

Lauching Coulda an app that roasts you for procrastinating

Tracks your delayed tasks and tells you what you could have done with the time instead. "You coulda watched the entire Godfather trilogy. This email is still unopened."

I made this as I struggle with procrastination a lot, and had been using chatgpt before I thought I would make a full fledged app. Really looking forward to your feedback, and any advice you may have.

My manager found out about my side project because I commented from my LinkedIn account instead of Page account. Lied to his face. Now I am quite Anxious.

Been building a side project for 8 months. Completely in stealth.

The tool basically lets small businesses, freelancers and agencies design social media posts in seconds. You describe what you want, it spits out ready-to-post creatives.

My growth strategy was going into LinkedIn comment sections of digital marketing agencies and occasionally mentioning the tool. Had a separate LinkedIn page created for this to keep my identity clean.

On Monday I commented from my personal account accidentally.

Deleted it after few hours as soon as I realised this later.

Tuesday, when I was about leave the office. He brings up the comment. Asks about the tool.

I panicked. Told him it's my wife's business and I was just helping her out with my linkedin reach.

Don't know if he believed me. I already had couple of meetings with him and senior management about my performance drop in past 6 months.

Anyone been through something like this?

Tokokino does that without requiring you to open design software

What's under the hood:

- Pixel accurate device and browser frames

- Background palettes that get pulled from your screenshot colors

- Layered canvas with multiple screenshots, shapes, arrows, freehand annotations

- Aspect ratio presets for Product Hunt, app stores, twitter, docs

- png / jpg / webp export up to 8K

- public share links

- no watermarks btw

built this while i was shipping a saas and kept wasting time on visuals that should've taken 90 seconds

figured other builders had the same problem.

It's free to use. also open source on github

PixShare.in launching in Alpha!

Hi everyone,

We’ve been building a small project called PixShare after noticing how messy photo collection becomes after weddings, college fests, parties, and corporate events.

Usually:

  • people take hundreds of photos
  • WhatsApp destroys image quality
  • Google Drive link sharing gets tedious. (Plus login and this and that)
  • organizers never receive most candid shots

So we built a simple system where:

  • organizer creates an event
  • QR code gets generated
  • guests scan and upload directly from browser
  • photos appear instantly in a shared gallery
  • no app install needed
  • You can use your own Google Drive/ Amazon S3 for direct sync to your storage.

We’re also experimenting with:

  • live photo walls for projector/TV display
  • Drive/S3 syncing
  • AI album organization

Currently opening a small alpha/CUG for people willing to test it during real events and give honest feedback.

Would love to know:

  • Would you use something like this?
  • What features would matter most?
  • Biggest concerns: privacy, moderation, storage, UX?

If mods allow, I can share the CUG Form in comments.

Built a UPI bill splitter app — looking for feedback from Indian users

Hey everyone, solo developer from Mumbai here.

Built Proofly — a bill splitting app made for India. The idea came from the frustration of using Splitwise with friends and still having to manually track who paid via UPI and who didn't.

Proofly lets you split bills, scan receipts and track UPI payments in one place. No more "bhai tune pay kiya kya?" messages on WhatsApp.

App is free on Play Store right now.

▶ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.proofly.proofly\_app

Would love feedback from people who actually split bills with friends/roommates/colleagues in India. What's missing, what would make you use this daily?

Glia – Local-first shared memory layer (SQLite-vec + FTS5 + Offline Knowledge Graph)

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project I've been working on called Glia. It is a 100% offline, local-first RAG and memory layer designed to connect your AI web chats (Claude, ChatGPT, DeepSeek) with your local developer tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) using a unified local database.

I wanted something lightweight that did not require pulling heavy Docker containers or subscribing to third-party memory APIs. I settled on a Node.js + SQLite architecture running sqlite-vec (for 768-dim float32 embeddings) alongside SQLite FTS5 for hybrid search, powered completely by local Ollama instances.

We just launched a live website that outlines the details and demonstrates the features in action:

Technical Stack & Features:

  • Hybrid Search Retrieval: SQLite-vec (using nomic-embed-text locally) + FTS5 keyword prefix matching (porter stemmer).
  • Surgical Sentence-level Trimming: Chunks are sliced into sentences. When a prompt is intercepted, only the exact matching sentences are pulled out of the vector store instead of the whole paragraph. It cuts LLM prompt bloat by ~90-95% in my benchmarks.
  • Knowledge Graph Extraction: An offline task queue uses a local LLM (llama3.1:8b via Ollama) to extract entity triples (subject-relation-object). These are stored in a SQLite facts table (or Neo4j if you run the full Docker compose profile) and fused with the vector retrieval score.
  • HyDE (Hypothetical Document Embeddings): Queries are pre-processed to generate a hypothetical answer, which is embedded together with the original query to bridge semantic gaps.
  • Concurrency: Running SQLite in WAL (Write-Ahead Logging) mode allows the browser extension dashboard and active MCP sessions to read/write concurrently without locking.
  • PII Redaction: Aggressive scrubbing of JWTs, API keys, emails, and IPs in the extension before data is saved.

The extension works on Claude.ai, ChatGPT, DeepSeek, Gemini, Grok, and Mistral. The MCP server runs out of the same backend database for your terminal agent or Cursor.

You can set it up with a single command: npx glia-ai-setup

Glia is completely open-source (MIT). If you like the local-first approach or want to contribute to the SQLite vector pipeline, PRs are very welcome, and a star on GitHub helps the project get discovered!

I would appreciate any feedback on the SQLite hybrid search scaling, the scoring fusion algorithm (RAG pipeline details are in RAG_PIPELINE.md), or local graph extraction performance!

We built an app that turns your Groww/Zerodha portfolio into an instant UPI credit line

The idea: you have MFs sitting in Groww/Zerodha doing 12-15%CAGR. But when you need cash, you either break your SIP or use a credit card at revolving credit 36-42% APR.

Zero ways to spend it without selling. We're changing that.

LienPay lets you pledge your MFs (not sell) and get a UPI credit line.

EXAMPLE

• ₹3L in MFs → ₹1.5L credit line(~50% loan-to-value)

• Scan any QR, pay via UPI

• 30 days interest-free

• Convert EMI @ 12% p.a. after that

• No CIBIL needed

Will send in Dms Working demo + early-access WhatsApp links

Would you use this?

How I cut Claude Code token usage in half (open source, benchmark included)

Been working on Repowise for a few months now. The core idea: AI coding agents are only as good as the context they get. Most of the time, that context is terrible.

Cursor reads your files. It doesn't know your architecture. It doesn't know which files break the most. It doesn't know why you made that weird design decision in auth six months ago.

So I built a layer that sits between the codebase and the agent.

Four things it does:

  1. Parses your AST into a dependency graph (NetworkX). Agents can reason about structure.

  2. Mines git history into hotspot and ownership maps. Who wrote what, what breaks most.

  3. Generates an LLM wiki of your codebase and stores it in a vector DB. Always in sync.

  4. Captures architectural decisions as ADRs so agents have intent context, not just code.

Exposes 8 MCP tools. Works with any MCP-compatible agent. Also has a local web UI to explore the graph and docs yourself.

AGPL + commercial dual license. Self-hostable.

Got a few hundred GitHub stars pretty fast. Then someone cloned it on PyPI three times in a week violating the license, had to file a DMCA. Wild week.

Happy to answer questions on the technical side or the distribution side. Both have been interesting.
