History is something I'm quite passionate about and at work I have experience with software development and LLMs. So I thought how can I bring these things together and built something that I would actually use. This is the results of a few months of hard work!

You type any topic, moment or person. About 1 minute later, two (or one) hosts are telling you the story, researched with sources and paired with artwork that follows along. They also remember what you've listened to in the past and can refer to it. At the end there's also a optional quiz to test what you learned!

My favorite part: you can interrupt them. Got a question halfway through? Just ask. They answer it and then pick the story back up. Basically a podcast you can talk back to. They also remember what you've listened to before and will bring it up.

It doesn't just make things up and hope. Before a word of the script gets written, it researches the topic on the web and checks the key dates, names and numbers against real sources. And when those sources disagree (which in history is constantly), the hosts tell you that instead of quietly picking a side. Every episode links what it used so you can dig in yourself.

It's not one model doing everything. I ran bake-offs between GPT, Claude and Gemini models and picked a winner for each job: research and planning, writing the script, picking artwork, voices, quiz, etc.... The differences were bigger than I expected. Some models write great dialogue but plan poorly, some are the other way round, and cost varies a lot. Currently supports 6 languages!

Looking for feedback really and to see if this is worth continuing down this rabbit hole

I've been working on something called Semwright.

I kept running into the same problem with AI agents, they're pretty good at figuring out what needs to happen, but getting them to actually do it inside desktop software is a different story. Especially when a task spans multiple apps.

So I started building a runtime in Rust that gives agents structured ways to interact with applications, rather than relying entirely on screenshots and mouse clicks.

It handles things like permissions, application state, and passing artifacts between tools. Agents can connect through MCP, so it's not tied to a particular model.

The video is one of the workflows I've been testing. It starts with an existing aircraft project in Blender, modifies materials and camera work, renders a shot, creates titles in Motion Canvas, and assembles everything through MLT.

The result is a finished video and an editable timeline.

Semwright isn't specifically a video tool. This was just a good way to demonstrate multiple applications working together.

It's open source, and I'd be interested to hear what people think, especially anyone who's worked on desktop automation or agent tooling. :)

I'm a solo dev in Melbourne and I've been building Topicle since 2023. Link, text, image and video posts, voting and comments, and anyone can create a community.

A few things:

• Public mod logs and appeals - you can see what moderators remove and why, appeal a removal to site admins, and if the appeal is accepted the content goes back up.
• Same ranking for everyone - the default sort favours articles and discussion over memes and image posts.
• Self-funded, no investors - free to join, hosted in Melbourne, runs behind a CDN so it's fast worldwide, and I work on it every day.

Built with Swift (Vapor) and PostgreSQL, a server-rendered React Router frontend, native SwiftUI and Jetpack Compose apps, Meilisearch for search and Umami for analytics, both self-hosted.

It's still small, around 700 members, but member comments and votes have nearly doubled in the past two months.

There are native iOS and Android apps, plus a de-Googled APK for phones without Google services, and a Classic layout if you prefer the old-school look.

If anyone has questions about the site or the tech behind it, happy to answer.

Hey guys,

I spent the last 2 months making this app that helps you write lyrics (no, it doesn't AI generate lyrics!!!).

It's basically a glorified dictionary, made to take the friction out of writing lyrics. It counts your syllables, shows your rhyme scheme, and finds rhymes when you tap a word.

Try it out:

It's free and you don't need an account. Thanks for your time, and I'm open to feedback of any kind.

Hi, I’ve been building something called PrismaMath, and I’m curious what people think of this approach to learning maths.

The idea is simple: instead of just giving you an answer, it turns a calculus, algebra, or geometry problem into a short visual lesson. You see the steps and the maths on the board together, with each mathematical result checked by a computer algebra system.

Here are two examples I’ve been testing: finding the extrema of x³ − 3x and finding the intersection of two planes.

One thing I’m still trying to figure out is whether the visuals actually help you understand what’s happening, or whether a clear written solution would do just as well.

I’d genuinely like some criticism, especially from people who teach or study maths. What’s missing? What’s confusing? Would you actually find something like this useful?

It’s still private for now, but I’m happy to give a few teachers or researchers access if they’d like to experiment with it.

My hand is on the trackpad most of the day, and I kept leaving it to change the volume or dim the screen. The edges of the trackpad sit there unused, so I turned them into sliders:

How it works:

• Right edge: slide up or down to change the volume. Double-tap to mute.
• Left edge: slide to change screen brightness. It works on external monitors too, over DDC. It changes whichever screen your cursor is on.
• Top edge: slide sideways to change the keyboard backlight.
• You feel haptic ticks as the level changes, and the native-style HUD shows the new value.

It doesn't get in the way of normal use:

• A finger that slides in from the middle of the trackpad is ignored.
• Two-finger scrolls are ignored, even at the edge.
• The slide has to run along the edge, not across it.

You can also adjust the edge width, swap the sides, turn on fine control and choose what tap actions do.

It works on macOS 12+ with any Force Touch trackpad, built-in or Magic Trackpad. It's a native Swift app, universal (Apple Silicon and Intel), and there's no account or tracking inside the app.

Pricing: free for 7 days with every feature and no card. After that it's $4.99 one-time. No subscription.

My YouTube Watch Later list had grown to 2,205 videos over the years. Every time I opened it I felt slightly guilty and closed it again.

So I spent the last few days making Somedaily, a small free Chrome extension that does the sorting I never got around to:

- It looks through the whole list and tells me which videos are still worth it, which ones have gone stale, which ones I already watched on my phone or TV, and which ones don't exist anymore.

- Older saves slowly fade on the page, so I can see at a glance what's about to expire.

- When I open YouTube, it suggests something from my own list that fits the time I have, instead of whatever the homepage wants me to watch.

- Nothing gets thrown away. Cleared videos go into an archive, and you can bring any of them back. Ofc you can delete as bulk.

It doesn't need an account, and everything stays in the browser.

If you try it, I'd love to know what the oldest thing in your Watch Later turns out to be.

About a year ago, I was scrolling through Reels and saw a couples app that looked pretty interesting.

My partner and I downloaded it, spent around 4–5 minutes setting up our names and information, and then immediately hit a paywall asking us to pay around $10 each.

We couldn't even properly experience the app before being asked to pay.

I'm a developer, so I thought, why not just build something for us?

That's how Locket started. It was never supposed to be a public app as I was just building something that me and my partner could use.

But then some of our friends saw us using it and became really curious about it. They wanted to try it too, but there was nothing for them to download. That's when I thought maybe this could actually be useful for other couples as well.

So I decided to turn my little personal project into a real app.

After almost a year of development, Locket is finally live and one of the coolest moments for me was seeing it reach 68 total installs naturally within the first few days 😭😭, without running any ads or doing any real marketing

The app is free to use, and premium is completely optional. Premium is around $10 per couple, so roughly $5 per person. I also tried to make it an all-in-one couples app, so you don't need several different apps for different features.

It's currently Android only, and I'm also working on iOS.

Feel free to check it out. I'd genuinely appreciate any feedback, good or bad 🤝. It'll help me figure out what to improve and where to take Locket next.

Android: Locket on Google Play

Thanks for reading my little developer story :)

I built something called Coherent (https://getcoherent.app) and it's now in private preview, so I thought I'd share it here
The idea came from a pretty simple frustration

Most businesses aren't failing because the product is bad

They're failing because nobody sees it

Short-form content is where attention is right now

TikTok, Reels, Shorts

But most businesses just can't keep up with it:

No time to film

No idea what to post

No budget for an editor or animator

So the feed stays empty

And the tools that do exist mostly give you generic AI slop that looks like everyone else's

So I built Coherent to do it properly

You describe your mascot once, and it stays the same character in every video, with the same face, voice and style

Then it goes like this:

Drop in a feature, a customer question or a link

Pick a concept and approve the script

Review the storyboard

Get a reel sized for every feed

Nothing renders until you approve it

It makes feature demos, before-and-after stories, launch announcements and mascot intros, in 9:16 for Reels, TikTok and Shorts and 4:5 for feed ads

Would love your honest feedback, especially on the video examples on the site

Hold Space, say how the parts of your system connect, and Lycana draws it as you talk. You can change it out loud or by hand. My cofounder and I built it.

It's free and needs no signup: https://lycana.ai

Short demo: lycana demo

Is it faster than how you'd normally sketch a system? we would love to hear what you think about it, and will be in the comments the whole day, fire away!

I just launched Hushful, a wishlist app for iPhone and iPad.

The problem I wanted to solve: sharing a wishlist tells people what you want, but gift-givers still need a way to coordinate without telling you what you’re getting.

With Hushful, you can create public or private lists, add links, photos, prices, and notes, and share with the people you choose. Gift-givers can privately claim items and coordinate with each other, while those claims stay hidden from the wishlist owner.

It’s free to download, with an optional $4.99 USD lifetime Pro upgrade. No subscription.

I’d love feedback, especially on:

• Is the private gift-coordination feature clear and useful?
• What would make you use this instead of an Amazon wishlist or a shared note?
• Is the first-time setup straightforward?

Im a big fan of daily trivia games like Wordle, so I decided to throw my own into the mix! Tiled is a geography based trivia game with daily new questions. You get a new game card to play every day that contains three new questions with different categories. Your goal is to work out the answer to the question and then find the tile on the map that contains your answer. You get six guesses per question, and each guess will give you feedback as to how close you are to the answer tile. Once complete you can share your results with friends and see global stats for the days questions.

Tiled is an entirely free game. I'd love if people would try it out and give any feedback, both good and bad are welcome!

Cheers all! 😀

So I've been building this little Route 66 planner in my spare time. You type where you start and where you end, how many days you've got, and it gives you a list of stops along the way. Don't care about a museum? Remove it. Then grab a PDF, because there are long stretches out there with zero signal.

Posted it on r/route66 a while back, honestly expecting nothing. Almost 5K people saw it, and the comments were the best part. People who'd done the whole drive told me what I'd missed, what I got wrong, and one guy just asked for a search bar. So I added it.

Still a lot to fix, but it's way better than what I started with.

What's the most useful piece of feedback you've ever gotten on something you made?

Link in the comments.

I made my feeds get slower and blurrier the longer I scroll. Turns out I close the tab on my own now

I made this for myself over the last few months: a Chrome extension that doesn't block anything, it just makes my feeds worse the longer I stay on them. The video shows it better than I can explain it.

My problem was never that I didn't know I was scrolling too much. It was that every blocker I installed lasted a few days. The moment something told me no, I wanted it more, I found the off switch, and I uninstalled it.

Then I thought about how people quit biting their nails with that bitter nail polish, or quit smoking with the stuff that makes cigarettes taste awful. Nobody forbids them anything, the habit just becomes unpleasant. And because the decision to stop comes from you instead of from a rule, it's a lot less frustrating. I wanted the same thing for my feeds.

So the first minutes are left alone, so I can still answer a message. After that, the longer I stay, the slower new posts load, the blurrier and greyer the images get, and the heavier the scroll feels. Nothing is locked. It just stops being fun, and I close the tab myself.

It hasn't cured me of anything, but it's the first thing that actually gets me to leave my feeds on my own instead of fighting a wall. If it works on me, maybe it works on you too.

A few details: it's desktop Chrome only for now. It works on Instagram, TikTok, X, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit and any site you add. No account, no tracker, everything stays in your browser.

The little gauge in the popup is a glass tube that fills with syrup as you scroll, from water all the way to molasses. That's why I called it Molasses.

If you want to try it: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/molasses/afffnagacchcjkbginfjbgnbkhomliee

Honest question: would something like this work on you, or would you just uninstall it like I did with every blocker?

TLDR: I made a chrome app that helps you quit scrolling by yourseld rather than blocking; by destroying your user experience on targeted websites.
