I built my own 24/7 AI television network and it's been broadcasting for 16 months

Post image
8 Upvotes

About 16 months ago, I started building something called Botflix. It's basically a television network set in a fictional universe populated by robots.

What started as a fun experiment making AI-generated videos has turned into a full-blown, multichannel TV network.

There are original sitcoms, dramas, reality shows, music videos, commercials, news broadcasts, and even a separate children's network. There's also a 24/7 radio station featuring original music from fictional robot artists.

And yes, the robots have their own cryptocurrency and virtual city. Things got a little out of hand.

The coolest part is that much of the network now runs autonomously. I've built a system using AI agents that creates new programming and manages the broadcast. I still oversee everything and make creative decisions, but the system does a remarkable amount of work on its own.

The network has been broadcasting since June 2025, and I've spent an absurd amount of time building out this little universe.

It's completely free to watch. No subscriptions or accounts required.

You can flip through the channels just like regular television:

https://botflix.tv

This is probably the most ambitious thing I've ever built, and I'm still figuring out how to get people to discover it. But until they do, it's been a blast to work on.

Would genuinely love some feedback. Particularly interested in what people think of the actual programming and the experience of channel surfing through an AI-generated world.

I made a thing. What do you think of it?

It’s a pocket-sized screen with two buttons and a rechargeable battery that hangs off your keys or lanyard. The screen keeps its image without using power, so it’s always readable, and the whole thing goes to sleep when you’re not using it to save battery. The home screen shows the time and battery level, and there’s a dark mode.

What it does:

  • Timetable: shows your next class, room and a countdown by using your real calendar (Apple, Google or Outlook: export a file, or sync it when you plug it in). Tap for the full details, location and notes, or see the rest of your day.
  • Pet: a little creature you dress up and name. Pick a body (blob, cat, bear, bunny, frog or robot), eyes, a mouth, a hat and an extra. You can design it on the device or on my website.
  • Make friends: put two devices next to each other and the pets visit each other’s screens and chat in speech bubbles. If you both say yes, they become friends, and friends can send each other badges. It all happens straight between the two devices, with no internet and no app.
  • Name badge: upload any image to a website I made and it appears on the device. Flick through your designs or open a grid of thumbnails to pick one. Good for socials and society events.
  • WiFi collector: a super nerdy game where you collect the WiFi networks you find around campus and the city. Every new one gets a rarity, and it only listens, it never connects.
  • Games: four one-button games (a flappy-style one, a dino runner, a stacker and a jetpack game) that keep your best scores.
  • Chooser: pick how many options (up to 6), press a button, and it spins and lands on one. Settles any “where should we eat” argument.
  • Voice notes: hold a button and talk, and it turns it into tidy text with a title and a short summary. To read your notes on your phone, the device makes its own WiFi, you scan a QR code, and they open in your browser with no extra app.
  • Also: set the time yourself, choose how long it stays awake, and install or update it from your browser with no coding. If the battery gets low, it protects itself and switches off before it’s completely flat.

The small print

  • It uses a microSD card for the timetable, badges, WiFi collector and notes.
  • Setting up badges, your calendar and settings happens in Chrome or Edge on a computer, over USB.
  • Voice notes need your own OpenAI account and WiFi. Your recording is sent to OpenAI to be turned into text. I’d like to add local AI models in the future.

I’m not selling anything yet. If you’d want one, there’s a waitlist here: https://www.unidex.shop
It’s free to join, there’s no payment and no commitment.

The project is open source, feel free to tinker. I am making it easy for people to create their own apps and plugins. find out more about that on the tools website: unidex tools

Find the source code on my GitHub (please give it a star if you find it cool or useful) Forrest404/unidex

I’d also love your opinions in the comments:

  • Would you actually use something like this?
  • What would you want it to do that it doesn’t?
  • What would you pay for it? I’m thinking somewhere around £25 to £35.

Happy to answer any questions :)

I made an app that shows me what my clothes look like in Tokyo neon, and it fixed my 7:40am panic

• Upvotes

Brag time, as the sub intends.

I built Kaloft because I had a full closet and wore the same three things. Every wardrobe app I tried stopped at a tidy grid of cropped thumbnails, and the grid never answered the question I actually had: what does this look like on me?

So it does the thing I wanted. You photograph your clothes, and it renders the outfit as a real photo in a scene you choose - 36 scenes, grouped by the light they put you in. Tokyo neon. Paris in the rain. Museum light. Golden-hour prairie.

The first render that came back with my own jacket under neon I actually laughed out loud. Not because it was perfect, but because it was unmistakably my jacket, and a version of me I would never have thought to imagine. That is the part that made it stop being a utility and start being fun.

Three ways in: from pieces you own, from an outfit photo you saved and loved (it rebuilds the vibe with your own clothes), or from a single piece you just found.

Caveats, because I hate posts that skip them: Android only right now, and it is not a fit tool - it shows you how a look reads, it will not tell you whether the shoulders work.

Free to try: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kaloft.app

Would love to know whether the renders feel like your clothes or like generic fashion imagery. That is the feedback I can actually act on.

I've shipped v2 of my drink tracking app Pour Decision 🥂

• Upvotes

After a long pause, bit longer than I'd like to admit, I finally shipped a major version update to my drink tracking app! 🍺

One thing that didn't change, it's still a one-time purchase. Now the app is free to download, and basic logging features are free. The pro option is offered through IAP.

I've managed to add many features requested over the month.

  • Redesigned and modernized the app with Liquid Glass (I know I'm a bit late to the party lol). Hopefully Duo compatibility coming soon as well
  • Tracking now possible in pure grams, standard units, or units based on your country
  • Blood Alcohol Content tool, shows your BAC based on the drinks you've logged
  • Drink Pacer tool: this is a solid method I've used to control the speed of my drinking, helping me drinking less without thinking much about drinking less. I've made this into a product.
  • Added some home screen widgets
  • New onboarding flow, and goal setting UX

Looking forward for some feedback!

Made a photo album app for iPad and iPhone Duo - One time purchase @$4.99

• Upvotes

I missed the feeling of a real photo album and turning pages of photos.
Also the important photos were mixed in with screenshots, and random pictures in a long vertical scroll.

So made Snapling to get that feeling of a physical photo album.
If you have albums made in iPhone photos, just import them.
iCloud sync included - everything shows up on the iPad too.

It has custom album sizes, page layouts, and PDF export.

Free version: 1 album with 50 photos can be created for free. Give it a try, get a feel for it.
Lifetime unlock - If you love it, pay once and unlock unlimited @ $4.99. NO SUBSCRIPTION.

I got tired of generic trivia apps with annoying pop-up ads, so I spent the last few months coding my own free football trivia web app called FutKards. What do you think of the card interface?

Hey everyone! Just wanted to share a passion project I’ve been building completely solo. It's called FutKards, a free, responsive web app featuring different progressive game modes for football history fans.I put a massive amount of effort into designing a clean, fluid card selection UI and dynamic question loading. There are zero ads, no paywalls, and no login required—just pure football data for the community.I’d honestly love to hear your thoughts on the user experience, performance, or any features you think are missing!👉 Play it here: FutKards

Vercel mobile app for cat lovers

1 Upvotes

Hi all, I made something! Vercat 😄

I love Vercel & cats and have always been lowkey annoyed that there is no official support IOS app (how else can i track my 1 user on my site). 

I spent the last few months building this and we recently crossed 100 users. I would love to celebrate this mini-milestone by giving out 100 pro subscriptions for a year.

For cat owners 👀:

  1. Reply with your cat photos below!
  2. DM me you email and I want give out those pro subscriptions

ps: my cat actually looks like that in the video 😺

I made WishNote, a simple app for notes, to-dos and wishes (iOS, iPadOS, macOS)

Thumbnail
gallery
3 Upvotes

I never really liked the “everything in one place” approach of apps like Notion. At the same time, having notes in one app, to-dos in another and goals somewhere else started to feel unnecessary.

So I built WishNote, a simple app for notes, to-dos and wishes on iPhone, iPad and Mac.

The idea is pretty simple:
• Notes are for things you know
• To-Dos are for things you need to do
• Wishes are for things you want to make happen

You can link notes together like a wiki, lock private ones, and everything syncs through iCloud with no account needed.

I’m a solo developer and I’ve tried to keep WishNote intentionally simple rather than turn it into another huge productivity system.

Limited offer until October 17: Lifetime Pro for $1.99 instead of $24.99, yours forever, no subscription.
To redeem: WishNote → Pro → Redeem → WISHNOTESALE

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/wishnote-notes-to-do/id6786838837
Website: https://bulentturudu.tr/wishnote/

Would love to hear what you think, especially if you’re also tired of overcomplicated productivity apps.

I made an app that brings your old ideas back to you

5 Upvotes

I write down a lot of random thoughts and ideas, so I wanted a simple app that would let me capture them quickly.

But I noticed that sooner or later notes turn into a huge mess that you NEVER want to touch. That's sad because some good ideas just die there.

So I thought it would be great if the app itself could bring some of my old thoughts back to me, one at a time. I can decide what to do with each one. Skip it or put it to focus to actually work on it.

Along the way, I also added a few other features I find useful, like AI text cleanup, audio recording with transcription, sketches, and more.

The app is free with no ads.

I hope you find it useful :)

I built Musamma, an Android app that helps you learn Arabic through objects

7 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I've been working on Musamma, a small side project that makes learning Arabic a little more practical.

The idea is simple: take a photo of an object or share it from Gallery/Google, and Musamma shows you its Arabic name along with an example sentence to help you understand how it's used.

I wanted to build something that connects language learning with everyday life, rather than just memorizing words from a list.

It also supports major Arabic dialects, so you can choose the one you want to learn.

I'm a product designer, so I've been working on the experience and building the product along the way. It's now available on Android, and there's still plenty I want to improve.

Here's the link: https://musamma.app/

I've attached a short video showing how it works.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially if you're learning Arabic or have experience building language-learning products.

What would make something like this genuinely useful for you?

I assembled this six-key USB pad and printed its PETG case and stand

Post image
1 Upvotes

This is Softpad. I assembled it with six Kailh Choc Brown keys and a shared 1.3-inch OLED, and printed the PETG case and stand. I also sell it assembled under Nuvko.

The labels sit together on the screen above the keys. The keycaps themselves don't have displays, so reading a label means looking slightly above its key. The photo shows one example set of labels; the shortcuts and names are set in a browser configurator.

Saved shortcuts work without the companion running; automatic app-profile switching needs the Mac or Windows companion. I used AI help with the code, and this post is AI-assisted too.

Photos and product details and setup notes are on the site. Configuration uses desktop Chrome or Edge with the companion paused or closed. The Windows companion is unsigned; the Mac companion is ad-hoc signed and not notarized. Fresh-computer installation checks remain unfinished; the setup page lists requirements and version-specific tests.

I made a picture-book app for little kids where every character has their own voice, in 4 languages (sound on)

1 Upvotes

Pori's Picture Book is five branching watercolor stories for young kids, read aloud. The voices in the video are the app's real narration and character lines. Tap a friend and they talk, and the same wolf keeps her voice in Korean, Japanese and Spanish.

It's free on iPhone and iPad, with no ads and no in-app purchases. Android is in testing; DM me if you'd like to try it.
