I built a tool that catches disposable email signups in real time, by checking the live mail servers instead of a stale block list

Full disclosure: I built this.

Every free disposable email checker leans on a static list of throwaway domains. The problem is that throwaway inboxes spin up new domains faster than any list keeps up, so the newest ones sail straight through.

IsItDisposable takes a different route. It inspects the live mail servers behind an address in real time, so it catches fresh throwaway disposable emails that lists have never seen. It returns a verdict in milliseconds, and you add it with one line of JavaScript on a form, or call a REST API from your backend.

One thing I was careful about: it flags privacy relays like Apple Hide My Email, but never blocks them, so real people are not shut out.

You can paste any address into the demo on the homepage and watch the verdict land. Would love feedback on the demo and the docs.

should you actually buy this?" engine for real estate. Roast it

Founder, full disclosure.

Listing sites give you the price. My tool gives you the verdict: paste a listing or pick a neighborhood, get BUY / WATCH / SKIP with the after-tax math behind it. Most verdicts come back SKIP — by design. Honest > flattering.

It covers neighborhoods worldwide — from Miami to Lisbon to Seoul. Basic verdict is free, deep report is paid.

Roast anything: the logic, the pricing, the homepage (it just failed my own 5-second test, so no feelings to hurt). If you invest remotely or out-of-state — what would make you trust or distrust this?

Roast my security tool that claims to catch when one user can read another's data

Built this and I want it torn apart, this sub seems like the right place. It's called BoLD and it does one thing, it checks whether your app leaks one user's private data to another (a logged-in user changes an ID in a request and gets back someone else's record). It's live and free.

Point it at your own app and roast whatever's bad, the onboarding, the speed, the result, the explanation, the trust factor of running it near your auth, all of it. I'd rather you find the flaws than a prospect.

Link: https://www.boldsec.io/

Genuinely, the harsher the better. What made you not trust it, or not bother finishing? That's the stuff I need to hear.

I do this all day, so figured I'd offer it here. Paste your URL and I'll give you the honest gut read: what I think you do, who it's for, and the exact spot where someone gets confused and bounces. The confusion is the useful part, not the praise. Drop 'em below and I'll work through them.

Built the nutrition app I always wished existed as a trainer. Live on Android, tear it apart.

Most nutrition apps hand you a calorie target and leave you to it. Mr. Bite actually coaches you through it. Yeah i called him Mr Bite, don't judge lol.

Coaching

It's an AI nutrition coach you can talk to. Tell it what you're working towards, ask for a higher protein lunch, to analyse your eating habits or ask why the scale hasn't moved. It will give you answers and builds the change into your day, the way a coach would.

Tracking

Tracking is in there too, it's just not the whole show. Log your food by photo, barcode, voice or search in seconds, and see your calories and macros for the day on one screen. The coach reads what you log and adjusts your plan around it.

So you bring the goal. Mr. Bite plans the week, sorts the shopping list, and keeps you on track. Coaching first, admin second.

Free on Android Mr BITE: AI Nutrition Coach
IOS is waiting approval

if you give me valuable feedback using the app ill keep your account on free tier forever.

Roast my IDE for vibe coders - 1DevTool - run Claude Code / Codex / OpenCode or any AI Coding CLI across multiple projects in one window, with persistent terminals that survive restarts.

Hey everyone - dev here (solo indie, same person behind Server Compass which I've shared here before). Your roast made my previous app better.

Who I am: Khoa Nguyen, solo founder of StoicSoft, based in Vietnam. X: https://x.com/khoa_solo.

Problem: I run AI coding CLIs (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode) on 3-4 projects at once. That meant a desktop buried in terminal tabs, a browser for testing, an HTTP client, and TablePlus - plus endless copy-pasting of errors and screenshots back into the CLI. 1DevTool puts all of that in one window built around agent workflows.

What it does:

  • Run multiple AI agents in parallel across projects: status badges show which agent is working/waiting, notification when one finishes
  • Persistent terminals: quit the app, reboot your machine, reopen - sessions and AI context resume where they left off. You can also continue existing sessions started in Ghostty/iTerm/VS Code
  • Embedded browser: screenshot, annotate, and send straight to your agent together with console logs. No more drag-and-drop dance
  • Remote Control: scan a QR code and monitor/steer your agents from your phone. Step away from the desk, approve an agent's next step or send a new instruction from the couch. No account, works over your local network or optionally through your own Cloudflare Tunnel
  • Built-in HTTP client + GitClient + Commend Mode on Browser + database client (Postgres, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, SQLite and ~20 more)
  • Agent pipelines: chain agents with approval checkpoints (e.g. one writes, another reviews)
  • iOS Simulator mirroring for mobile devs
  • BYO AI subscription: it works with whatever CLI you already pay for, I never charge for AI usage

Comparison: Closest tools are Warp (agentic terminal) and Conductor (parallel Claude Code sessions). Warp is subscription-based and terminal-only; Conductor doesn't have IDE or other dev tools inside.

1DevTool works with any CLI agent, adds browser/HTTP/database tooling around the terminal, and is a one-time purchase instead of a subscription.

Pricing: $29 one-time, 1 device, includes 12 months of updates. App keeps working forever after that - you only renew if you want new features.

No subscription, no account, no phone-home. Free tier is permanent but limited (1 project, 4 terminals, 5 AI diffs/day) - enough to actually evaluate it, no card or signup needed.
Link: https://1devtool.com/

Fair warnings:

Yes, it's Electron. I'm one person shipping to Mac/Windows/Linux - that was the tradeoff. It's tuned to stay light, but if Electron is a dealbreaker, fair enough

Download is direct from my site, notarized. 7-day no-questions refund via Lemon Squeezy.

This community's feedback on my last app genuinely shaped its roadmap, so ask me anything, including the hard questions.

I made a free app to track all my pets' health in one place — FamilyPet+ (Android)

Got tired of losing my pets' vaccine dates and vet info across notes and paper, so I made FamilyPet+: vaccine/med reminders, vet records, weight and feeding logs, with real-time family sharing. Works for dogs, cats, rabbits, birds, reptiles, rodents, fish and horses — all on one account.

Free, no ads: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grizmow.familypet

I'm the dev — feedback welcome, especially anything missing for your animals.

I made a free app that shows you which store has your groceries cheapest — built it because I was sick of overpaying

Full disclosure up front: I'm the developer, this is my app, and it's free.

Like a lot of people here, I got tired of watching the same basket cost wildly different amounts depending on the store and the week. So I built PriceWise — you add the items you actually buy, and it compares flyer prices across stores in Toronto/the GTA to tell you where your whole list costs the least, then routes you there. It also tracks how much you've saved over time.

Not trying to sell anyone anything — it's free, and I'd rather it actually be useful to this crowd than not. Link: https://apps.apple.com/ca/app/pricewise-grocery/id6770648419

Honest caveats: it's iOS-only right now, it's new so store coverage is still growing, and I'm actively adding stores. Tell me which ones you want and what you'd want it to do — I'm reading every comment.

Built a free traffic exchange for indie founders in a concept "You show mine, I show yours"

Been thinking about the earliest stage problem for a while: you've launched something but have zero traffic and zero budget to get it.

Ads are expensive. Cold outreach feels gross. SEO takes months.

So I built something stupid simple a bar that sits at the top of your site showing another founder's startup. In return, your startup gets shown on theirs.

One line of code. No cost. No algorithm. Just founders helping founders get their first eyeballs.

Called it StartupBar. It's completely free, probably always will be.

Would love feedback from this community does this actually solve a real problem or is it a solution looking for one? Also curious if anyone here has tried similar traffic exchange approaches and what worked / didn't.

I'm here if you need app feedback

Since user feedback is a bottleneck of many startups, I'm here to help out. I'm an app designer of 5 years and a fellow startup founder. I'll test and review the first 10 apps posted in the comments.

If you want to return the favor, you can review my app WordPolish, an AI writing polisher for Mac.

Edit: woah, that's lots of action. I'll review some apps over the weekend, but most on Monday.

A task manager that works like magic- because you team shouldn’t have to”

I’m a student builder. Every hackathon and side project I joined started the same way: new WhatsApp group, links and files buried in chat by day two, someone two people update the Google sheet, everyone else ignores it. The truth I came across is: lack of coordination kills more projects than bad ideas.

I’ve been living in this problem space for a while. Meta’s Whatsapp API is strict. Onboarding means signup, create workspace, invite teammates, each person links their own phone. That’s a lot of friction for a team that might exist for one weekend. We did not need Notion or a full PM stack for this!

So, I built Euclis- a real-time small team management cum productivity platform, that adapts to you- whether you’re typing a quick update on WhatsApp, using the web or letting claude handle the heavy lifting.

• Chat, and it’s done: Text the WhatsApp bot like you’re talking to a teammate - "add task: finalize the pitch deck, due tomorrow" - and the board updates for everyone. No formalities. No friction.

• Claude syncs it all: Work in Claude? Manage your board while you’re chatting with Claude: no tab switching required.

• Everything in one place: Assets, links, notes-all tagged and organized in a single workspace. No more digging through messages or lost files.

• Visual clarity: The built-in whiteboard lets you map out ideas, flowcharts, or wireframes so everyone’s on the same page-literally. My personal favourite:)

Try it now at euclis. What is you opinion? Any features you’d love to see, or pain points I missed would be appreciated!

Built an app to find cofounders/collaborators because cold DMs never worked for me

Hi everyone, final year CS student here. (finally)

I spent ages wanting to build things but I either had an idea and no designer, or wanted to join a project and no way to find one that needed me.

I mainly focus on Game Development, but I am really bad at Pixel Art and finding a teammate to help with pixel art while I code the game has been a huge struggle which has slowed down the game's progress by a lot.

And so, I made Buildr. You swipe to find people based on skills and what you're building, match, then chat in the app. Kind of like a dating app but for finding people to build with instead.
You can also swipe on other people's projects so that you can work with them on THEIR project instead. Win win situation :)

It finally got accepted on the App Store and I would love if anyone wants to try it and tell me what's broken or has any suggestions. Buildr: Cofounder & Team Match App

P.S: Thanks to every single one in advance, I appreciate you.

I didn't set out to build this, but people kept asking for it on sales calls

TL;DR - These are the lessons I learned:
* Tried to validate demand for this big, great project - people on sales calls kept telling me they needed something else
* LinkedIn hates automation, but they're fine with content consumption

A while ago, the startup I was working at tasked me with building a process automation / AI agents framework. They tried n8n, Zapier and the usual candidates but didn't like them.

They liked the framework I built and thought about turning it into a product. So they started cold calling people to validate demand. The problem with cold calling: Most of the people you call aren't looking for a solution at the exact time you're calling them.

But one theme kept coming up: "Can we use this to automate find and contact leads?"

So, we built agents scraping LinkedIn for conversations where people were looking for what they had to offer. And it worked.

As it turns out, LinkedIn hates automation (automated posting, DMs etc.) and they take various measures against scraping (e.g. limiting profile search result count), but they're totally fine with content consumption. You won't get banned for scrolling the feed all day long - and neither will your AI agent.

So I built agents that do just that - and finds "warm" leads in the process.

I demoed it to a few more people and demo call gave me an idea. When I tried to explain to the other person how it worked: "Our agents are like a swarm of puffins scanning the ocean for fish - only the fish are your next customers."

And I thought, "wouldn't puffins make a fun landing page?". So I built prospectpuffin. Not because I set out to build a lead scraper. But because people kept asking for it. And because I like puffins. Let me know what you think.

So please roast my puffins on prospectpuffin.ai

Made a free iOS app to open and read raw Markdown (.md) files on iPhone/iPad — handy for peeking at Logseq pages outside the app

Logseq stores everything as plain .md files, but if you ever open one of those files directly on iOS (from Files, iCloud, Dropbox, a backup, etc.) you just get raw text. I built a small viewer to read them rendered on a phone.

Md Preview:

• Renders GitHub-Flavored Markdown — headings, tables, task lists, footnotes

• Code blocks with syntax highlighting, plus LaTeX math and Mermaid diagrams

• Opens .md / .markdown / .mdx / .rmd / .qmd from Files or the Share Sheet

• 100% on-device — no account, no uploads, no ads, no subscriptions

Free on the App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6760341080

Details: https://markdown.cybergame.ai/

Not a Logseq replacement at all — just a quick way to read loose .md files when you're away from the desktop app. Curious how you all read your graph on the go.

How do I get into YC winter 2027?

WHAT HUINT SOLVES
Artificial intelligence is advancing faster than anyone imagined. It can reason, create, analyze, and act on vast amounts of information. Yet every AI system shares the same blind spot: it cannot see the world beyond the screen.
The most important information often isn't in a database or on the internet. It's in the real world. It's the condition of a building, the state of a shipment, a crowded parking lot, a broken sign, an empty shelf, or a detail only a person standing there can see. Every day, billions of decisions are made using context that AI simply cannot access.
Huint exists to close that gap.
We're building the human intelligence layer for AI, a network that gives agents access to real-world context, observation, and judgment through people who are already there. What starts with simple tasks and verification becomes something much larger: a bridge between digital intelligence and physical reality.
We believe the future isn't AI or humans. It's AI and humans, working together. AI provides scale, speed, and reasoning. People provide awareness, context, and presence. Huint connects the two.
Our mission is simple: make the physical world accessible to artificial intelligence. Because the next breakthrough in AI won't come from thinking harder. It will come from understanding reality.
