For almost three years, I've been keeping a diary for my daughter.

It started with a simple Word document. Every evening I'd write down funny moments, milestones, and all the little things I knew we'd both forget one day.

When ChatGPT came out, my workflow changed. I'd record a voice note, let AI turn it into a diary entry, then copy everything back into Word.

It worked... but it was still frustrating.

After a while I realized that the real problem wasn't writing the memories down—it was the friction. When you're a parent, even a process that takes five minutes is often enough to make you skip it.

When AI coding became accessible, I finally decided to stop looking for the perfect app and just build the one I wanted myself.

At first, this wasn't meant to become a business. I simply wanted a place where I could send a voice message through Telegram or record directly on the web, attach photos, track my daughter's growth, and have everything organized in one timeline.

The result is that I actually document our life together almost every day now, because it's finally effortless.

One of my favorite moments is sitting next to my daughter and reading older entries together. She loves hearing stories about things she can't even remember anymore, and seeing her smile makes every hour I spent building this worth it.

Over time, friends and family saw what I was using and kept asking if they could use it too.

That made me realize I probably wasn't the only parent struggling with this problem.

So I decided to polish it up and launch it publicly.

One thing I've learned from building this is that the best product ideas don't always come from market research. Sometimes they come from solving a problem that annoys you every single day.

If anyone's curious, I decided to make it public. It's called Evermora:

I'd genuinely love your honest feedback—not just on the product itself, but also on whether you think this is a problem worth solving.

Have you ever built something purely for yourself that unexpectedly turned into something other people wanted?

I built Stamped because finding great iOS apps started to feel like playing hide and seek.

The App Store tends to surface the same big brands year after year. Apps with large marketing budgets and established audiences get most of the visibility, while independent developers with genuinely useful apps often launch and disappear before anyone discovers them.
Then I started building my own apps and experienced the other side of the problem. Getting your app in front of real users is just as difficult as finding great apps in the first place.

That’s why I created Stamped.
Stamped is a community driven iOS app discovery platform where users can discover new apps, follow creators, leave ratings across five categories, and help quality apps gain visibility based on community feedback instead of marketing budgets.

If you’re an indie developer looking for more exposure, or someone who enjoys discovering apps beyond what’s featured on the App Store, I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Back in June I got my first paying customer after months of $0 MRR.

$9.99. $10.49 with VAT.

I know that's not a lot, but that "Woohoo! You made a sale!" email after staring at $0 for months felt insane. Still one of the best feelings I've had building this.

I've been trying to make SaaS work for almost a year. Cloakly is a 1-click screen hider. You hit a hotkey and it hides your windows and desktop icons so you don't share something private on a Zoom call. Simple idea, but I overbuilt it for months.

Windows version, blur modes, selective hiding. I kept telling myself "one more feature then I'll market it" while analytics showed barely anyone visiting. Way too much time building, not enough talking to people.

At some point I realized I was hiding behind dev work, because coding is easier than asking people to use your stuff.

So I started posting on Facebook, Instagram, Reddit and TikTok about screen-share fails. No product pitch, just relatable pain. That's how people found it.

One person signed up for free, actually used it, and gave me feedback on what was broken for his setup. I fixed it. Then I asked him directly if he'd pay once I fixed it. He said yes.

June 12th: first payment - Lemon Squeezy "wooooooo! You been paid!"
Today, Aug 19th: $420.58 total from June 1 to Aug 19

No huge launch. No viral tweet. Just one person with a real problem, talking to him, fixing what he needed.

Biggest lesson: I spent months worrying about SEO, landing pages, pricing. Getting one person to care taught me more than all of that.

Still very early. $420 doesn't mean I figured out SaaS. But it's a start after $0. Now I just need to do it again. And again.

If you're stuck at signups but no pays, talk to those people before building another feature. I wish I did earlier.

How did the rest of you get your first paying users? Was it one conversation like this or something completely different?

I'm building a community where makers can share what they’re building and get fair visibility. Here's the link: https://vibecodedit.com/

I got tired of choosing what to listen to, so I built a radio that chooses for me. 🌍📻

At some point I realized I was getting bored with YouTube Music.

Every time I wanted music, it was the same routine:

Find a song → add it to a playlist → choose another song → skip something → search for something else → repeat.

The feeling of just turning on the radio and letting it play.

You don't know what's coming next.

You don't have to build a playlist.

You don't have to pick the perfect song.

You just let it play.

There's something about that random, slightly unpredictable 90s or 20s radio feeling that feels completely different from listening to an algorithmically perfect playlist.

I wanted something you could leave open while you're:

💻 vibecoding
🧑‍💻 working from home
🎮 gaming
🚗 driving
📚 studying
🎙️ streaming

So I built Audioo.

It's a free internet radio player where the main interface is a globe.

Pick a country and a radio station starts playing.

You can jump from USA to France to Brazil to UK and discover hundreds of stations around the world.

And the globe keeps slowly rotating while you're listening. There is a toggle for band where you can drag the band and change the station for that particular country.

It's completely free. I just wanted to build the kind of radio experience I wanted to use myself.

Spin the globe.

Pick a random country.

Don't choose the song.

Just let the radio decide what's next. 🌍📻

And tell me: what country did you land on?

I built tryproduck.com/audit, it walks your app like someone opening it for the first time and sends back every bug and confusing bit it hits. Over 650 startups have run it so far.

Hello everyone,

tl;dr: with Agenty.pro you can make -almost- billions of things you want. Free. It's free because I want an exit from it.

A few months ago, I started to build Agenty. It focused to let children build their games with directing AI. Just prompts. Nothing else. A few of them made projects - chasing games, etc. I used it to make a maths game and several educational tools.

Then I realized: this isn't just for kids. This is for anyone who has an idea but no coding skills.

So I opened it up.

I built camera controlled things, GPS apps, todo list apps, object detections, even an app for drawing a 3D object with using mobile phone's sensors.

What Agenty does: You describe what you want in plain language. It builds it.

Games, tools, calculators, quizzes, dashboards - whatever you can prompt, it can -at least tries- make.

No code, no setup, no API keys. Just type and go.

Why it's free: I'm a solo dev. I want this to grow. I want users. I want feedback. And honestly, I want an exit someday. So the more people use it, the better for everyone.

What you can try right now:

Build a game with just a description

Make a quiz or educational tool

Create a mini-app for daily use

Prototype an idea in seconds

If it's broken or something didn't work, just type "it's not working" or sth like that to Agenty and it'll try to fix.

It uses GLM5.2 trough Ollama

So, it can handle 10 connections at a time. If it'll broke, it's probably because of the Reddit Effect. Please wait and try again.

What I need from you:

Try it

Break it

Tell me what sucks

Tell me what you wish it could do

I'll be in the comments. Ask me anything.

I like the way Duolingo turns learning into short and interactive sessions.

But most of the things we want to learn are already somewhere else: in PDFs, articles, documentation, blog posts, videos or internal knowledge.

So we built scibly: you give it existing content or knowledge and scibly turns it into a short, interactive learning experience instead of something you just read or watch once.

Everything can be edited afterwards, and you can use the result yourself or share it with others.

We’re building Scibly open source under AGPLv3.

Demo Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TcpLUNBRhQw

GitHub: https://github.com/scibly-dev/scibly

Curious what kind of content you would turn into a learning experience first.

I feel like many people still ignore the importance of defining their target audience, or maybe they just don’t know exactly how to do it.

I prepared (5 min. work) this free tool where you answer a few simple questions and receive a summary of your target audience as a PDF by email.

Is this something that people will find helpful? Also, any ideas on how to make this more valuable?

Thanks a lot.

Hi all,

As i'm working on growing launchpact.io i'm seeing a lot of unprepped launches and as the day unfold they don't get much visibility and end up with a failed launch.

This is one of the reasons i build launchpact.io, if you have an upcoming launch do check it out and prep ahead of time, i also added this checklist that can give some hints too, have a read.

Good luck everyone!

I've always gotten frustrated and wasted time explaining the same thing to an AI every time I start a new chat from an existing one or when I start another convo with a whole new AI model. That's why I built a tool that fixes that, it condenses everything in a chat into one simple .md file you can carry across different AI tools.

PS: Please contribute or give your feedback so that we can grow and make this community tool better.

There is a gold rush happening with the saas and app markets. Many of us love buildign but struggling with marketing. Video is an important element for that. It tells what your product offers and communicate to your potential customers about what pain points it solves.

Normally it takes 4 figure budged and weeks to create a high quality saas promo video.

But with promohyper.com you can get your saas promo video in under 20 mins. And it is free for a limited time.

Try it and get promo video for you prodcut!

I'm open for any feedback! Just let me know what worked and what not.

People now ask AI tools to recommend products, not just Google.

I’m building AEO Mantis to show:

- Whether AI platforms mention your brand

- Which sources they cite

- How you compare with competitors

But first, your site needs to be accessible and understandable to AI crawlers.

Leave your homepage URL and what you want to be known for. I’ll run a free check and reply with:

- Your score

- Biggest blocker

- First fix to make

I’ll work through the comments and reply with each result here. No DM required.
