Hey all, I'm currently building Lockn, an app that helps you do more and plan less. Rather than planning your whole week, you plan day by day with Lockn.

It incorporates over 10 different productivity methods and has some really cool features.

Its launching really really soon, I just wanted to get a rough sense if any of you would use it 😄

If there are any additional features you would like to see added do drop a comment below! or if there is anything you think you don't like feel free to let me know too!

thanks so much for reading!!

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.

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.

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

I spent the last few weeks building an AI SaaS called RankSpires.

At first, I thought the hardest part would be the UI or the marketing.

It wasn’t.

The hardest part was making the AI outputs actually stay coherent with the product instead of generating generic “AI sounding” content.

I kept refining the generation logic until the outputs finally became stable enough to feel publishable.

That was the moment the project stopped feeling like a prototype and started feeling like a real product.

The goal of RankSpires is simple:

turn 1 product brief into a complete SEO + marketing pack in under 30 seconds.

Right now I’m freezing the V1 and focusing more on observing real user behavior instead of endlessly redesigning everything.

Honestly, that’s a weird feeling as a solo founder 😅

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:

https://xenonflare.com

Hop through startup landing pages effortlessly, vote and leave feedback for the founders so they can improve their landing pages and products, no account required to leave feedback and vote. Just hit “Start Hopping” to see it in action https://buildhop.io

Or if you want to submit your product… Account creation is easy and submitting a product doesn’t require a ton of writing, product images, or time.

It's stupidly hard to get right, and impossible to really build out alone.

Try it out @ yaps.ai :)

• Head over to https://goalfinder.space/solutions/submit

You need to mention:

• What problem you’re solving
• Your product name
• Link

My goal is to build a problem-solution network where it's easy for developers to see problems and what's already built for it. This will also give credits to people posting problems, as the ones who initiated a solution.

I would love your feedback on the my new home page, it's built to help you consume new ideas, problems, solutions, explore reports, and find what updates builders are publishing. If you have a problem you don't have an answer for, I'm giving away 3 free idea generation (4 monetizable ideas in each generation).

Managing investments across multiple apps is messy.

Arthavi helps you track your mutual funds and stocks together in one place, without spreadsheets or cluttered dashboards.

### 🚀 What it does

- Unified portfolio view (MF + stocks)

- Clean and minimal interface

- Simple performance tracking (no confusing metrics)

- AI-powered insights (early feature)

### 💡 Why it’s different

Most tools either:

- Focus only on stocks

- Or only on mutual funds

- Or overwhelm users with too many features

Arthavi is built for clarity and simplicity first.

### 👤 Who it’s for

- Long-term investors

- People tired of juggling multiple apps

- Anyone who wants a simple portfolio overview

### 🔗 Try it: https://arthavi.com

Would love feedback from the community 🙌

Been building my first ever SaaS for over a month now and recently shipped it. And I already reached 20 registered users, yay!

For context, I've been building a tool that visualises your daily tasks on a 24-hour clock because boring to-do lists weren't cutting it anymore for me. You can see the dashboard in the picture (sorry for the terrible image quality, haha).

The way I reached those 20 users was mostly through some Reddit posts (I had the most success on r/webdev), but I'm now starting an actual build in public series on Reddit and X.

If anyone's curious, here's the link: https://app-arcadia.vercel.app

I love looking out of airplane windows, but most of the time I had no idea what I was actually flying over.

This is a web preview but If you are interested - I also have an app where you can download a map with all the cool stuff along your route.

PS: What I like about this project: no AI features at the moment

Been building a Chrome extension called Tweaklify because I honestly got tired of how annoying website editing workflows are 😭

The goal is to make editing websites feel visual instead of technical.

Right now you can:

• click any element and tweak styles visually
• edit spacing, colors, typography, shadows, borders etc through proper UX inputs instead of raw CSS
• double click text to edit content instantly
• open a live HTML editor and modify sections directly
• use AI to edit existing sections
• generate completely new sections with AI
• convert sections/components into React, Vue, Angular or Shopify Liquid
• preview changes live on the page
• experiment with layouts without constantly opening DevTools
• copy/export the generated section code directly into your project

The AI part is what I’m most excited about.

You can do stuff like:
“make this hero section look more modern”
“turn this into a Shopify section”
“convert this card component to React”
“add a pricing section below this”

and it generates/edit things directly on the page.

I’m trying to make it feel like Figma + DevTools + AI had a baby.

Still early but would genuinely love feedback:
What feature would make something like this actually useful for you?
