Hi folks,

When me and my family travel, we like to sometimes try to point which direction our home is, granparents house... To check how close we pointed to we used to use maps but it was painful to do so.

So I wrote a very simple app which is very much a compass but you can add locations so you can easily know the direction of that location and not only North and south...

Its free, no ads, no subscription nor accounts. Just download and use.

Have a look to test your direction skills and share feedback if you have any.

It is released for android and IOS

Thanks

Next up, add 10 nights win condition - the Farm has survive 10 nights of attacks from different beasts and ghosts

Built with React/TypeScript + Capacitor for Android. Used Google Antigravity with Gemini and Claude as agents.

I designed the systems, wrote the prompts, reviewed every implementation plan before the agent started building. That part worked really well.

One thing I learned: treat yourself as the senior developer. The agent writes code but you own the architecture. As the game grew — more systems, more state, more panels — I started being explicit about what the agent was NOT allowed to touch:

"Do not modify the audio system."

"Do not refactor anything outside this component." etc.

Without those boundaries Gemini Flash would occasionally decide to helpfully reorganize something that was already working. It always ended badly.

The hardest part was Android audio. Spent a week on a bug where music wouldn't start on launch. Tried audio sprites, double buffering, singleton patterns, priming tricks — nothing worked.

Turns out Android WebView simply does not allow audio to play until the user has touched the screen. That's it. That's the rule. A week of debugging a browser policy.

Sometimes the bug is not in your code.

The agent just needs to know what not to touch.

I've been building AI-IQ, a persistent memory system for AI agents. Just shipped v5.7.0 with a new `focus` command and submitted it to the Claude Code plugin marketplace.

**The problem:** Every Claude Code session starts fresh. You waste the first few minutes explaining what you were working on.

**The fix:** `memory-tool focus "my-project"` instantly loads:

- Relevant memories (hybrid search: keyword + semantic + graph)

- Knowledge graph entities, facts, and relationships

- Open predictions and beliefs

- Pending TODO items

- Suggested next actions

It's like a "previously on..." recap for your AI.

**How it works:**

- Single SQLite file = your AI's brain

- No cloud, works offline

- `pip install ai-iq`

- Also submitted as a Claude Code plugin — install with `/plugin marketplace add kobie3717/ai-iq`

Other features: beliefs with confidence scores, predictions you can resolve over time, knowledge graphs, dream mode (AI memory consolidation), FSRS-6 spaced repetition for natural memory decay.

hi. it was suggested that I share this here. The repo is my theory, proof of concept with working code examples, and every last detail in the readme explaining how to implement it.

https://github.com/loknar1980-xgen/cognitive-architecture

24 files, 4,465 lines. Three pillars with working code, the unified theory, coined terminology. I would really like feedback , or to see what everybody is doing with it, or how they change it or make it better. I just love to see where it goes and what it emerges into with different minds taking it wherever it's going to end up. If anybody'd be willing to share.

Hi everyone! I’ve been working on a mission to kill the "fridge paralysis" cycle—that moment you stare at a full fridge, feel overwhelmed, and order expensive takeout anyway.

I’ve built two separate tools to tackle this from different angles and I need your "brutal" feedback on which logic actually works for you.

The Apps:

1. FridgeHero (https://fridgehero-mealgenerator-antiwaste.base44.app): This is for the "now." It takes the random ingredients you already have (especially the ones about to expire) and generates smart recipes. The catch? Every time you cook, it calculates exactly how much money you’ve saved and your CO2 reduction impact. I want you to see the "win" for your wallet and the planet.
2. AegisTable (https://aegistable-mealplanner-antiwaste.base44.app): This is for the "future." It generates fully customizable meal plans based on your specific diet and allergies, then organizes everything into a calendar to remove the 5 PM stress.

My Strategic Dilemma: I’m at a crossroads. Do you prefer having small, single-purpose tools that do one thing perfectly, or would you rather see all of this merged into one "Super App"? Also, is the "Money/CO2 saved" tracker a feature you'd actually check, or is it just a gimmick?

I’d love for you to test them!

Roast my logic—I’m here to learn and improve!

A few weeks back, I challenged myself to stop overthinking and just ship. No perfection, no endless polishing, just build something useful, simple, and real.

So I built three apps.

First came Drink Now: Water Reminder App.

It started as a small idea - just simple reminders to drink water during the day. But it turned into something people genuinely rely on. Clean UI, smart reminders, and no clutter. It does one thing, and it does it well.

Then I worked on Handwritten Quick Notes.

I’ve always liked the feeling of writing on paper, so I wanted to bring that into a digital experience. This app lets you create natural-looking handwritten notes - simple, personal, and distraction-free. It’s now something I (and others) use for quick thoughts and daily notes.

The third one is Bloom Studio: Photo Editor App.

This was all about creativity. A lightweight photo editor with a clean interface, focused on making editing feel easy and enjoyable instead of overwhelming. No complicated tools - just what you actually need.

What’s interesting is - none of these apps were built with a “perfect product” mindset.

They were built fast, improved continuously, and shipped early.

And that changed everything. Instead of sitting on ideas, I now focus on execution.

Instead of waiting for the “right time,” I just start.

Getting tired of taking 50 screenshots a day just to ask Claude to explain code errors, uni work, and of course cheating in tests. So I built a shortcut.

It’s called Glance. How it works:

1. Hit Cmd+Shift+G.
2. Drag a box over anything on your screen.
3. Ask a question.
4. The AI (Claude) explains it in a floating window that stays on top while you work.

Privacy & Cost: I didn't want to deal with subscriptions or user data, so it's a "Bring Your Own Key" app. You just paste your Anthropic API key, and it runs directly from your Mac (stored in your Keychain). I don't see your data, and it costs $0 from my end.

Important:

• It’s a beta.
• Apple Silicon only for now (Intel build coming soon).
• Since I’m a solo dev and haven't paid Apple $99 for a license yet, you have to Right-Click > Open it the first time.

I like using the terminal with Claude Code and OpenCode. but I was looking for a terminal style experience with a visual directory and git.

Launchpad is a lightweight macOS desktop app that puts your terminal front and center, then wraps it with everything you need to actually get work done — a file browser, a real code editor, a visual git workflow, an AI agent, and a settings panel. All in a single ~8MB native app.

No framework. No Electron. Rust + vanilla JS.

still some bugs to work through but its coming along pretty nice.

I know Kotlin and Swift so this isn't purely vibecoding, but AI was a genuine co-pilot throughout the entire build. Wanted to share because the technical challenge here was unusual.

The app is called Bounce Connect. It bridges Android and Mac wirelessly over local WiFi. SMS from your laptop, WhatsApp calls on your Mac screen, file transfers at 120MB/s, clipboard sync, notification mirroring. No cloud, no middleman, fully AES-256 encrypted.

The hardest part of this kind of project is that you're building two completely separate apps on two completely different platforms simultaneously. The Android companion app in Kotlin and the Mac app in Swift. Neither app is testable without the other working. If the WebSocket connection drops you don't know if it's the Android side or the Mac side. If a feature breaks you have to debug across two codebases, two operating systems, two completely different APIs at the same time.

AI helped enormously here. Not for writing code blindly but for thinking through the architecture, handling edge cases in the connection layer, implementing AES-256-GCM encryption correctly, and getting mDNS device discovery working reliably across both platforms. The back and forth for debugging cross platform issues saved me weeks.

Shipped 3 weeks ago. Crossed $600 in revenue at $10.99 one time purchase with no subscription.

Most Chrome Extensions are for productivity, but AniMates is for the "vibes." It adds a virtual character to your browser that reacts and keeps you company while you surf the web

• Playful Interactions: Your character doesn't just sit there—they perform fun animations, react to your browsing, and pull off some hilarious stunts right on your web pages.
• Social Presence: You’re not alone! You can see the AniMates of other users.
• Real-time Chat: Spot someone else? Strike up a conversation! You can chat with other users through their virtual characters in real-time.

Looking forward to your thoughts! 🚀

A few weeks ago I was sitting at my desk, scrolling through vibe coding projects across Reddit, Twitter and Facebook.

The stuff I was seeing was genuinely impressive. People building real apps, real tools, real businesses — with nothing but an idea and an AI. No computer science degree. No years of experience. Just curiosity and determination.

But something bothered me. 😅

Every single one of these projects was scattered. A post here. A tweet there. A comment buried somewhere in a Facebook group. There was no place where the vibe coding community actually lived together.

So I spent the last few weeks building one.

checkmyvibecode.com — a community platform built specifically for people who build with AI. You submit your project, share the full story behind it — how long it took, what it cost, which tools you used — and the community discovers it, upvotes it, and gives you real feedback.

No algorithm burying your work. No getting lost between memes and unrelated posts. Just builders finding other builders.

I’m not going to pretend this is a finished product. It’s early. But I’m building it in public and I genuinely believe the vibe coding community deserves its own space on the internet.

If you’ve built something with AI — submit it. I’ll personally check out every single one and feature the best ones on the platform for free. :)https://checkmyvibecode.com
