I’m 32 and tracked my fiber for a week mostly out of curiosity.

I was getting like 12g a day.

The recommendation is 25–35g, which honestly explained a lot. I always had mid-afternoon crashes, bloating, and just random stomach stuff I never really thought about.

The tracking apps I tried didn’t really help either. MyFitnessPal tracks fiber, but it’s buried behind calories and macros. Cronometer felt way too detailed for what I wanted.

I basically just wanted an app that told me one thing:

Did I hit my fiber today or not?

So I built one.

It has a daily ring for your fiber goal, barcode scanner, 200+ USDA foods, and a plant diversity score. That last part was kind of surprising to me. A lot of gut health research points to variety per week, not just total grams.

A few honest surprises after using it for ~6 months:

  • Getting to 30g isn’t that hard once you realize where fiber actually comes from. Beans, oats, raspberries, chia, avocado, etc.
  • Plant diversity was harder for me than the actual fiber goal.
  • A lot of packaged “high fiber” foods are not as useful as they make themselves sound.

Free, iOS only, on device, no account.

Would genuinely love feedback on the food database or anything that feels off.

Just shipped my first iOS app after 4 months solo.

Wrapped a 4-month solo build and shipped Reflect on iOS last week.

It's a journal app — voice transcription in 10 languages, paper-journal OCR, and AI insights over your own entries (Yearly Narrative, "Ask AI" with citations from your writing).

Stack:

- React Native + Expo SDK 54, EAS Build

- Firebase (Firestore + Cloud Functions on Node 22)

- Gemini via Vertex AI server-side, ADC — no client-side key

- RevenueCat for subs

- Native Apple Watch companion

- ~52 screens, 10 languages (EN/FR/ES/PT/DE/IT/AR/KO/JA/HI)

App Store: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6762427801 (Disclosure: my app.)

Happy to answer anything about the architecture, Expo 54 stability, or the server-side Gemini setup.

A few things I'd love this sub's take on:

  1. Vertex AI vs. AI Studio key. I went Vertex + ADC to keep the key off the client. It added boilerplate. Worth it for you, or do you stick with a key behind a proxy?
  2. Apple Watch companion. Has yours actually driven discovery, or is it purely retention?
  3. Cold launch with 0 followers. Beyond ASO, what actually worked for your initial distribution?
  4. Localization. Did shipping in 5+ languages pay off commercially, or would English-only have been fine for early validation?

Chrome extension that adds read time, paywall detection and content-type signals to search results

I realized an annoying part of browsing is choosing a link from Google Search, then realising after opening it that it's

  • a 20-minute deep dive
  • a paywalled
  • an unexpected image-heavy tutorial
  • or unexpected dense technical documentation

I built a lightweight Chrome extension that adds small “preview signals” beside Google Search results before you click.

It currently shows:
• estimated read time
• paywall detection
• image-heavy pages
• code-heavy pages

The goal was to reduce wasted clicks and help evaluate links faster while browsing. If you'd like to try out the extension its called LinkFlags - Preview Signals Before Opening Links from the Chrome Web Store :)

Hope this helps and also would like your thoughts/feedback on this too!

- batteries-included: db, files, auth, payments (planning to support in future)

- code-editor

- BYO AI key

repo link: https://github.com/Jamessdevops/micracode

(Any star will be super appreciated ❤️)

I am basically building things together with our contributors based on your feedback :)

I'm so happy to hear about more things to implement.

Thank you all!

Kadu — your private Instagram for memories [free]

I’ve tried a lot of journaling apps like Day One and Apple Journal, but I quickly realized something — I don’t actually enjoy writing that much.

What I really wanted was a way to save memories through photos and videos in a format that feels natural and enjoyable to browse.

That’s why I started building Kadu.

It’s basically a private journal combined with a personal media archive, but designed more like a social feed. You can create entries using only photos or videos without writing any text at all, and your memories appear in a clean feed similar to Instagram-style posts.

Kadu is fully private — everything is stored locally on your device.

I also focused heavily on media support because most journal apps still treat photos and videos like attachments instead of the main part of the experience. In Kadu, you can instantly capture photos and videos directly inside the app without first saving them to your gallery and importing them later. There’s also a functional text editor and a smart share button that lets you quickly publish posts with all attached media to social platforms if you decide to make something public.

Currently testing the idea and would genuinely love feedback.

This sub gets the assignment better than most so I'll be direct.

The no-code movement solved half the problem. You can build almost anything now without knowing how to code, which is genuinely incredible and wasn't true five years ago. But there's still a gap that nobody talks about. Even with the best no-code tools you still have to know which tools to pick, how to connect them, how to write copy that converts, how to set up ad accounts, how to source products, how to structure a funnel. The learning curve didn't disappear, it just moved.

Most people in this sub know exactly what I mean. You've spent a weekend deep in Zapier trying to get two things to talk to each other that should just work. You've rebuilt your Webflow site three times because the first two didn't convert. You've watched your Notion dashboard get more elaborate while the actual business stayed the same size.

That's the gap Locus Founder closes.

You describe what you want to build. The AI handles everything else. It sources products directly from AliExpress and Alibaba (or sell YOUR OWN digital services, products, or content), builds a real storefront around them, writes conversion-optimized copy, then autonomously creates and runs ads on Google, Facebook and Instagram. No Zapier. No Webflow. No piecing together eight tools that half work. Just a running business.

If you don't have an idea yet it interviews you and figures out what makes sense for your situation.

We got into YCombinator this year and we're opening 100 free beta spots this week before public launch. Free to use, you keep everything you make.

For the people in this sub specifically, this isn't a replacement for no-code tools for people who love building. It's for everyone who wanted the outcome but never wanted to become a tools expert to get there. Big difference.

Beta form: https://forms.gle/nW7CGN1PNBHgqrBb8

Happy to answer anything about how it works under the hood.

i coded an app to compare which food is healthier for you

i actually made this to scratch my own itch.

the other apps were all giving me calories, "scores", etc. what i wanted was science-backed answers on what's healthy -- for me and my health goals.

so i just built it myself.

Built a Free Online Tools Platform Using Cursor, Codex & Vibe Coding — Here’s Our Workflow 🚀

Over the past few weeks, we built CornerPen, a free online tools platform for productivity, text utilities, developer tools, converters, and other quick-use web apps.

But instead of just sharing the project, I wanted to share how we actually built it using AI-assisted workflows and vibe coding.

Stack & Tools We Used

AI / Coding Tools

  • Cursor AI for most of the development workflow
  • OpenAI Codex for code generation, debugging, and refactoring
  • ChatGPT for planning logic, fixing edge cases, and UI ideas

Tech Stack

  • Next.js
  • Tailwind CSS
  • TypeScript

We used Netlify free cloud hosting to publicly test and deploy the website at zero cost while preparing for future growth and scaling.

Would Love Feedback From Other Builders

Especially curious about:

  • How you structure vibe coding workflows
  • Cursor best practices
  • Managing large AI-generated codebases
  • Any ideas/features we should add

Project:
👉 CornerPen

Happy to answer questions about the workflow/build process too 🙌

I made ChatGPT, but for YouTube. I Got 200 downloads already from Instagram

The idea came from a simple problem : I watch a lot of YouTube tutorials and every time I have a question I have to scrub through the whole video to find the answer. It was killing me.

So I built YouShort. It's a Chrome extension that sits next to the video. You type your question, it answers and tells you exactly where in the video the info is.

Did a collab with an Instagram page a week ago, 200 downloads since then which I didn't expect at all.

Dropped the link in the comments if anyone's curious.

free Pokemon TCG pack opening sim — 51 vintage sets, 5,893 cards, no signup or ads

Hey everyone,

Spent the last couple of months building this in my spare time and finally feel okay sharing it: packrip.co

It's a browser sim that lets you rip vintage Pokemon booster packs — every set from Base Set (1999) through Black and White era (2012). 51 sets total, around 5,893 cards. Real holo and reverse-holo effects, pull rates that mirror the actual era's odds, a full collection binder, hunt packs that bias toward a card you pick, daily coin economy, pack dust crafting, a daily login calendar.

No signup, no email, no ads, no install. Works on phone too — actually most people play on mobile. Your binder saves locally and optionally syncs across devices via an anonymous UUID (no account, no PII).

I'm a lifelong WotC-era collector and I made this because I missed the feeling of ripping packs as a kid but didn't want to spend $400 a box chasing a single Crystal Charizard. Started showing it to a few collectors, slowly more people found it, last 28 days about 6,600 strangers have been opening packs on it which is wild to me.

If you grew up on Base Set, Jungle, Fossil, Neo, e-Card era — give it a rip. Would genuinely love feedback on what feels off.

I just launched my Website and I am looking for testers

​

Hey Guys!

I just launched my Website "XenonFlare".

I am looking for testers / developers.

I need help in:

- UI / UX Bugs

- Open Source Repo Contribution

The project is simple: Using global runners or using your own local runner you can interact with our services. We provide a clean website / interface for ai to illustrate a project. Crete Charts, Files, Tables, List, Checklists etc. You create a workspace, each workspace has its own chat (personalized AI). You can discuss about your ideas etc. The AI learns with time. The clue: use your own runners to optimize / change the output / cod etc.

I literally just went live.

I appreciate EVERY FEEDBACK.

Here is the link:

I built Foldwise – an automatic file organizer for macOS (free to try)

Hey 👋

I've been working on Foldwise for a few months and today v1.0 is live.

What it does: watches your folders in the background and automatically

sorts files using IF→THEN rules you define. No cloud, no subscription,

everything runs locally on your Mac.

Some things it can do:

- Move files by type, name, extension, size, date, or PDF text content

- Rename with patterns like {date}_{name}

- Schedule daily/weekly cleanup routines

- Preview exactly what a rule would do before enabling it

- Undo any action from the activity log

- Suggest rules automatically using on-device AI (macOS 26+)

Free plan includes 1 folder and 3 rules. Pro is a one-time €24.

Would love honest feedback from this community — especially on

the rule builder UX, which was the hardest part to get right.

I built AppReviewer Preflight after seeing how many great indie apps get slowed down by App Store rejections and made it free to get started

Hey everyone,

One thing I kept noticing with iOS releases is that even solid apps often get delayed during App Store review for issues that aren’t really about the core product.

Things like missing metadata, incomplete privacy details, subscription setup inconsistencies, or small guideline oversights tend to cause repeated rejection cycles and slow down launches more than the actual code does.

So I built AppReviewer Preflight.

It’s a structured pre-submission checklist tool designed to help iOS developers catch common App Store review risks before submitting a build.

Instead of relying on memory, scattered notes, or last-minute checks, it centralizes everything into a clear workflow you can actually follow before release.

Key Features:

  • Pre-submission checklist focused on common iOS review risks
  • Filter checks by app type (subscriptions, IAP, ads, UGC, login-required apps, etc.)
  • Severity labels for critical vs. major issues
  • Mark items as resolved or unresolved during review
  • Add internal notes for QA, handoff, or team tracking
  • Fast search across rules and submission topics
  • Save progress locally and continue anytime
  • Export reports as PDF or JSON
  • Quick access to official Apple guideline references
  • Clean workflow designed for iPhone and iPad

Who it’s for:

  • Indie developers preparing first launches
  • Agencies shipping client apps
  • Product and QA teams managing release cycles
  • Developers trying to reduce avoidable App Store delays

What it helps you do:

  • Catch privacy and compliance issues earlier
  • Validate monetization and subscription setups
  • Reduce preventable rejection cycles
  • Track unresolved review items in one place
  • Improve release confidence and consistency

The goal is to make App Store submission more predictable and less reactive.
