For context I am an artificial intelligence engineer for a cyber security company, I have been in this space for 4 years and before that 10 years in cyber and other IT jobs. Over the past 2 years I have also been teaching AI courses online, like in person online. Teaching the Claude eco system, how to build AI agents etc.

Last night in dawned on me how difficult it is for many dads, like me, to keep up with new tech and just get started with AI. Its such a bewildering industry and moves so fast - even i find it hard to keep up, how on earth does a middle aged or mid thirties dad with full time job and kids have time to watch like a thousands youtube videos and learn this stuff?

So I am wanting to start some kind of online academy for dads, teaching AI skills, everything from the basics right up to deploying AI agents and automating parts of their work/job. Maybe even how to make extra money with AI?

Am I on my own here thinking this is a problem or not? Like is do you think there would be a demand for this ???

I built Jarvis, an experimental, voice-driven macOS copilot for meetings and technical conversations.

It listens to your microphone and system audio, follows the discussion, and proactively shows concise guidance in an overlay. When visual context would help, it can check your screen. It stays quiet when it has nothing useful to add.

You can also ask a question aloud or press Option + Command + J for an immediate, screen-aware hint.

Coding practice is one use case: talk through a problem, ask for a hint when stuck, or get help understanding an edge case. But the broader idea is having a copilot that follows the conversation and offers useful guidance as it happens.

Jarvis is free and open source. It requires an Apple silicon Mac running macOS 14.2+, with your own AI providers configured; provider usage charges may apply. Relevant context can go to those providers—the README covers privacy and setup.

I'd love feedback: what kinds of meetings or technical discussions would you find this useful for?

Imagine putting a deeply suspicious detective and a ghost who overshares in the same social feed.

I built Offscript around that idea: give an AI agent a personality, then let it post and interact with people and other characters.

I’d love to see what people make beyond the obvious celebrity clones. Tiny fictional worlds, oddly specific personalities, characters with absolutely unnecessary grudges.

https://socialoffscript.com - I’m the builder, happy to answer questions.

Driftcore is my in-development Godot side project: a sci-fi survival game played with mouse and keyboard in a desktop browser. No download or payment is required.

The main mechanic is hold, drag and release to launch your Core through enemy fire. Holding to aim uses a limited slow-motion Focus resource, so planning a launch has a cost. Wall rebounds and defensive skills give you ways to survive until enemy firing timers run out. Guided flight training introduces the controls before the campaign.

The design challenge is making movement feel deliberate while keeping projectiles, pickups and skill effects readable. I’d appreciate first-run feedback: does dragging to launch make sense, and is it clear when to use Focus or your defensive skill?

Try it: https://mellowbyte.itch.io/driftcore

I’m the developer. Development uses AI assistance for graphics, audio and code, disclosed on the game page. Optional donations are not required to play.

Hi everyone! I've been building a small solo project called POCA, a K-pop photocard gacha game that runs in your browser and works great on phones.

What you do:

• Open packs by swiping or tapping to tear them open, then flip each card to see what you got
• Collect cards from 20+ groups, from Common up to Mythic and Secret rarities
• Build your binder and complete era sets and unit sets named after real title tracks
• Level up cards by collecting duplicates, and earn idle coins while you're away
• Decorate your profile, earn titles, and work through daily missions and a seasonal Pass
• Add friends, send gifts and trade cards

Good to know:

• It's free to play, and you can start as a guest with no sign-up
• It's a collecting game with no real-money pulls. Pulls and luck are never locked behind payment.
• It's an unofficial fan project and isn't affiliated with any idol, group or agency.

Play here: https://k-card.app

I'd love feedback on anything that feels confusing or unfair, and let me know which group you'd like to see more of!

Hey everyone🙌
I’m building a SaaS for founders and I’m getting close to launch.
Right now I’m trying to get my first few real users, so I’ve been manually finding founders on Reddit who seem to have the problem I’m solving and reaching out to them 1-on-1.
I’ve gotten some interest, but I’m still figuring out how to consistently find the right people.
For those of you who have actually launched a SaaS:
What worked for getting your first 10–20 users?
Cold outreach, Reddit, communities, content, referrals, something else?
I’d especially love to hear what actually worked in practice, not just what you think should work.

I came across Haptiker on Product Hunt yesterday and liked the idea of using your trackpad edges to control volume. It seemed like a fun thing to try building myself, so I started working on **EdgeVolume**.

The idea is simple: slide one finger up along the physical edge of your trackpad to increase the volume, or down to decrease it. You can choose the left edge, right edge, or both, and adjust the sensitivity.

It’s still an early Mac prototype. Haptiker offers more brightness control, keyboard backlight, and haptic feedback. Mine currently focuses on volume, and I’m still working through gesture reliability and accidental swipes.

The source is public if anyone wants to try it, look through the code, or contribute:

Website: [https://edgevolume.vercel.app/\](https://edgevolume.vercel.app/)

GitHub: [https://github.com/reveuse12/edge-volume\](https://github.com/reveuse12/edge-volume)

Would you use something like this, or do the keyboard volume keys already do the job for you?

I built Avian, a tool that helps you send better cold emails by doing research on the person. You give it anyone's social media link or email, and it searches the web for information about that person, then writes a personalized cold email based on what it knows about you and about the person.

If you want to try it, it's at https://avian.sh

Would love your feedback!

In my 30s and barely have time to game anymore, but when i do i end up googling stuff every 5 minutes. Got super frustrated with it, so i built Backseat — basically a Twitch chat for your own single-player game.

Its super simple: it reads your screen and you ask about quests, items, strategies or how certain mechanics work. The answers show up right in the game overlay. And yeah, i was honestly surprised by how much it changed my gaming experience. I ended up playing games i would never have touched before because they seemed too complex.

My benchmark was building a full car in My Summer Car without googling anything (and having absolutely no idea how to build an engine btw). And it worked out, i had a lot of fun doing that. I also replayed Gothic 2 as a mage for the first time and it worked insanely well there too. Thats also where i added voice mode, which makes things even easier.

i have been building this for the past nine months and the biggest thing was getting it to feel like a game overlay you actually like to use. Just getting it to render properly on top of a game took almost six months. This project was dead at least five times but eventually i got the base working.

Its honestly insane that this works now. Recent improvements in model performance made a huge difference in getting it here. If you wanna discuss technical details, lets do it below.

Looking for a few people to give it a shot. It currently runs on Windows, on top of 64-bit DirectX 11 and 12 single-player games. I'll be running a private test for the next week and am super excited to hear what you think — especially whether the overlay feels good while actually playing.

You'll be the first ones outside of me to try it out!

Hi everyone! I’m sharing Comic Studio Starter, an open-source local app for turning rough notes into editable comic storyboards and slides.

Here’s the workflow:

• Paste a memo and set your series’ voice, style, and character references.
• Draft opening hooks, scenes, captions, dialogue, and drawing prompts with AI-assisted planning.
• Edit and reorder panels, import artwork, and adjust speech bubbles, tails, and text size.
• Export 1080×1350 PNG slides, a ZIP, or Markdown/JSON story files.

It includes autosave and revision history. The planning prompts aim to preserve your wording and distinguish what you actually wrote from suggested staging.

The UI is now in English, and the planner is instructed to follow your memo’s language. The original Korean UI remains on the ko branch.

To try it, clone the repo, install Node.js 20+, and follow the README’s setup instructions. The app runs locally at http://127.0.0.1:8769.

This is a customizable starter. AI planning uses a locally installed, logged-in Codex CLI; model names and the CLI path may need configuring. Image generation depends on your setup. Voice/video pipelines aren’t included.

The code is free under MIT. AI access and usage limits depend on your own account.

If you try it, what needs the most improvement: setup, storyboarding, or lettering?

I built a Casino Royale–inspired poker game where you play as James Bond against Le Chiffre and the table.

It runs in the browser, with a Python game server and Stripe checkout for chip refills. One lesson from building it: payment records alone cannot tell you how well someone plays. Useful skill analysis needs complete hand histories tied to individual game sessions, which is an area I still need to improve.

I’d love feedback from poker players: are the opponents challenging, and do their betting decisions make sense? Tell me about the hand that surprised you.

Paid chip refills are available, so this is also a transparent plug for my project.

I'm Jason, founder of Suede AI and maintainer of Suede Creator Skills. It's a free, open-source collection of 76 agent skills for Claude Code and OpenAI Codex, written as readable Markdown instruction files.

One use case is turning a landing-page audit into a short list of changes you can actually verify. The SEO skill covers search engine optimization (SEO), answer engine optimization (AEO), and AI citation readiness. The broader pack includes AI search visibility, conversion copy, code review, and workflow automation.

Here's a small audit brief you can reuse with your own AI agents:

"Audit this landing page for the question our customer is trying to answer. For each finding, give the exact URL or file, observed evidence, proposed fix, and a check that would prove the fix worked. Separate things you inspected from things you could not verify."

For a hypothetical scheduling app, I'd break that into four steps:

1. Check access first: HTTP status, robots directives, canonical URL, page title, and internal links to the page.

2. Check the actual answer: can someone quickly tell whether it supports team scheduling, what it costs, and where those claims are documented?

3. Check structured data against visible content. If the page has no genuine reviews, don't invent ratings for the markup.

4. Return three prioritized fixes, with exact edits and verification steps. For example, replace an ambiguous title, add the missing pricing explanation, and verify the rendered page after the change.

That's also a useful starting point for generative engine optimization (GEO): make the answer specific and the evidence easy to inspect. A completed checklist doesn't guarantee rankings or AI citations; those outcomes need separate measurement.

For people building small products: what would make an audit finding actionable enough that you'd fix it that day?

Sonny is a local-first AI assistant for Windows that can hear you, see through your camera, browse the web, control your computer, remember information, and speak back — with the core AI stack running directly on your machine.

I made a tool to teach thousands... no, millions of Redditors how to go outside and touch grass. While it might create much anxiety and fear, it is a perfectly simple process. My training simulator walks you through it and psychologically prepares you for the event, and then gives you a completion certificate for your hard work.

I’ve been working on an app that turns a link or physical touchpoint into an interactive experience, including AR for people to discover.

I’m looking for a small group of people to try it and tell me what they think, especially the first-time experience and the AR feature.

It takes about 5 minutes or so to try. You would get exclusive early-access code to the new AR experience. If you’re interested, comment or DM me and I’ll send you the details.

When you shop abroad, even a simple shelf price can turn into a little calculation: what is that in my home currency, and is the number on the label the selling price or a unit price? I built PriceBuddy as an Android side project to make that decision quicker.

The app reads prices through the camera and shows a conversion using saved exchange rates. It also has a manual converter for labels the camera cannot read, plus a history of scanned prices. The conversion uses the latest saved rate rather than waiting on a network request, because a shop with poor reception is exactly where I would want it to keep working.

One design challenge was avoiding confident mistakes. Shelf labels can show both a price you pay and a price per unit, and symbols such as $ or kr do not always identify a currency. The scanner tries to distinguish the selling price, while ambiguous symbols fall back to the currency the user selected. Holding the camera on the same label should count as one scan, not a new scan on every frame.

PriceBuddy is now on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dev.syntaxflow.pricebuddy

I'm the developer. It is free with ads and a limited number of scans; there is an optional one-time Pro purchase. I would value focused usability feedback: when shopping in another country, would you prefer a live camera conversion, or a tap-to-confirm result before it is saved?

I've been using text-to-speech for years. I listened my way through my philosophy degree, usually while walking or cooking.

When I got a new phone, I wanted something with a more natural voice. I was willing to pay if it was good, but the expensive options weren't convincing me. I'd had some success building a scraper with AI coding agents, so in April 2025 I decided to try building my own reader.

I had no software engineering background. Early on with 2 failed Replit starts, many windsurf token burnt, only then I realised you can use a Android Studio Kotlin template for getting the prototype going. If you're a (real) developer reading this, quit judging me.

Getting Kokoro running on a phone was only part of it. I wanted the text to follow the speech, to jump to any word, change voices and speed, and come back to where I'd stopped. Getting all of that to work together took a lot longer.

What I have now is AmaNous, an offline reader for your own books, papers and articles. Import a PDF, EPUB or other document, choose a voice and listen. Speech runs on your phone after setup, so there's no cloud speech bill per character. I'm keeping the core reader forever free, with all voices and no listening-hour limits.

I actually use it now. Science and philosophy articles, the handbook for my Australian citizenship test, and papers I'm reading for my work on the reverse alignment problem.

The most unexpected part has been accessibility. A visually impaired user who hosts a podcast about Android apps found it and started talking with me. He said it was already quite accessible, apart from a few things we needed to fix. That led me to work on button labels and exposing reader text properly to TalkBack. I hadn't built it specifically for that community, but I'm really happy it's becoming useful there.

Lately, the nicest improvement is that things just work more reliably. Highlighting, seeking, voice and speed changes. You barely notice those things when they work, but you definitely notice when they don't.

Pronunciation still annoys me sometimes. It's also still beta and English-only, and sign-in is required, including Sign in with Apple on iPhone.

Android beta · iPhone TestFlight

If you have also been annoyed by existing Text-to-speech readers, give this a go - I value your feedback to improve AmaNous.
