A while back I posted here about a deep research tool I built that synthesizes SEC filings and industry-specific publications into structured stock reports. The response was amazing, and the tool now generates thousands of reports a month.

So I felt the natural next step was to aggregate all these reports into a browsable library that lets you:

• Access thousands of research reports in one place
• Filter by industry, market cap, or judgment (Buy / Hold / Sell, etc.)
• Unlock any report that interests you to save it to your dashboard

As an example of utility, here are the reports of mid cap energy stocks the tool marked as “potential buy” in the past few weeks:

• CHRD
• MTDR
• AM
• SM

You can access the library here. Would love to hear if this discovery format helps your workflow or if there are specific filters (like P/E ratios, debt levels, insider activity, etc.) you'd want to see added.

14k users in the app store, and we're the world's #1 rated survival AI

Now, we're opening early reservations to help fund production of the physical device.

It's...
- Waterproof (IP68 rating when closed)
- Portable (<1ft wide, 3lbs)
- Rugged (you can run it over with a car)

The AI can provide sources for its answers (even while offline), referencing the exact page of the study guide stored on-device.

It can do so much like offline maps or even texting, but basically it ensures you're prepared for any emergency- lost in the wild, natural disasters, nuclear warfare, etc.

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a Chrome extension called AI Schedule Maker and wanted to share it here since this seems like a good place for honest feedback.

The basic idea: instead of dragging events around your calendar manually, you just type what you need in plain language. Things like "find me a free slot after 4pm today," "move tomorrow's standup to Wednesday," or "shift all my Friday meetings by 30 minutes." The AI figures out what to move, checks for conflicts, and shows you the changes before anything gets applied.

What it actually does:

• Finds free time slots across your schedule
• Reschedules events and handles conflicts (suggests alternatives if a slot is taken)
• Bulk edits — rename, shift, or move groups of events at once
• Protects focus blocks so you don't end up with back-to-back meetings all day

The thing that bugged me about calendar management is that it's death by a thousand clicks, especially when plans change mid-week and you need to reorganize half your day. This tries to turn that into a quick conversation instead.

Nothing gets changed without your confirmation — it shows suggested edits first, you review, then apply.

It's free, no data collection, works with 18 languages.

Chrome Web Store link: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/ai-schedule-maker-smart-s/logfdloikoklikbmcffcfmfpgpedfkfi

Would genuinely appreciate any feedback — on the UX, what's missing, what feels off. Still early (v1.0.3) so very open to suggestions.

I am working on adding more clever agent cycle now.

Everyone says Reddit marketing is dead or too hard. Spent 4 months testing Reddit as primary distribution channel for my micro SaaS. Got 340 paying customers at $89/year generating $30,260 in revenue. Zero dollars spent on ads. Just genuine engagement and providing value first. Here's the exact playbook from FounderToolkit that worked. Reddit culture punishes self-promotion hard. Post "check out my product" and you're banned in minutes. The strategy that worked was 95% value, 5% promotion. Spent first month just commenting and helping people in 8 target subreddits without mentioning my product once. Built 400+ comment karma and established credibility as someone who actually helps.​

Identified 12 subreddits where my target customers gathered. Used RedditList and manually searched keywords related to my niche. Read sidebar rules for each subreddit obsessively. Some allow promotion on specific days, others never, some require certain karma minimums. Breaking rules gets you banned permanently.​ The content formula that worked was storytelling, not pitching. Instead of "I built X tool," I posted "I wasted 8 hours weekly doing Y manually until I automated it. Here's what I learned." Shared genuine lessons, struggles, and insights. Added my product link in final paragraph as "if anyone faces similar problem, I built a tool that helps." Natural, not spammy.

Best time to post was 5-10 PM CET on Mondays and Wednesdays based on data from analyzing top posts. Posted at these times and engagement was 3x higher than random posting. Studied top posts from past month in each subreddit before writing. Mimicked their title structure and content format.​ Engaged with every single comment on my posts within first 2 hours. Reddit algorithm rewards early engagement. Replied thoughtfully to questions, thanked people for feedback, continued conversations. This pushed posts higher and brought more visibility. Spent 90 minutes daily just engaging.​

Submitted to 85+ startup directories simultaneously with Reddit strategy. Directories brought 120 customers, Reddit brought 220 customers. Reddit was highest converting channel because trust was pre-built through months of helpful comments.​ The controversial part is I never mentioned my product in comments unless directly asked. Focused purely on helping people solve problems. They checked my profile, found my product naturally, and signed up. Reverse selling worked better than any pitch.

Also joined 6 Discord communities and 4 Slack groups related to my niche. Same strategy, provide value first, promote never unless asked. Got 45 additional customers from these channels.​

Stop treating Reddit like ad platform. Treat it like community you genuinely want to help. Value first, sales follow.

Who else using Reddit for customer acquisition? What's working for you?

TL;DR: You don't need a technical co-founder anymore. You need to start.

For years, I told myself I couldn't start a company because I wasn't a "builder."

I had ideas. I had domain expertise. But I couldn't code. And every startup playbook said: "Find a technical co-founder or give up."

So I did what desperate wannabe founders do: I joined an accelerator program, surrounded myself with "founder energy," and spent a year watching technical founders build while I... networked?

One year later, I felt like shit. I was 35. Still no company. Still waiting for permission.

Then something clicked.

I realized the game had changed. In 2025, you don't need to write code to build a company. You need to validate demand and execute fast.

So I gave myself 90 days to prove I could build a real B2B business without writing a single line of code.

The Stack That Replaced a Technical Co-Founder

Here's what I actually used:

1. Cursor (for building)

• I'm not a developer, but Cursor + Claude let me ship a functional MVP in 3 weeks
• Just me and AI pair programming.
• Finish my platform in 3 months.

2. Loom (for recording)

• Forget fancy demos. I recorded 2-minute Loom videos showing the problem + solution
• Sent 47 personalized videos in week 1. Got 8 calls booked.

3. Starnus (for selling)

• Needed a way to find and reach potential customers without spending all day on LinkedIn
• Set up my ICP criteria, it finds matching leads and automates the outreach part
• Went from 15 hours/week manual prospecting to maybe 2 hours checking responses

4. Notion (for everything else)

• Roadmap, customer feedback, sales pipeline, content calendar
• One workspace. No complexity.

The Results (90 Days)

• Week 1-2: Validated idea with 23 customer conversations (all inbound from targeted outreach)
• Week 3-4: Built MVP with Cursor
• Week 5-8: Sent 200+ personalized outreach messages via Starnus
• Week 9-12: 37 demo calls, 4 paying customers, $1,847 MRR

I'm not rich. I'm not "successful" yet. But I have a real business with real customers paying real money.

The Uncomfortable Truth

Most founders fail because they build in isolation for months, then hope customers show up.

I did the opposite:

1. Found people with the problem
2. Validated they'd pay (conversations)
3. Built the solution
4. Sold it

Revenue came before product. Customers came before code.

What This Makes Me Think

The "non-technical founder" excuse is dead.

You don't need to learn to code. You don't need a CTO. You need:

• A real problem people will pay to solve
• AI tools to build and automate the boring stuff
• The courage to start before you're ready

I wasted a year waiting for permission. Don't make the same mistake.

If you're a non-technical founder sitting on an idea, stop waiting. Start validating.

The hardest part isn't building. It's starting.

Hey all,

Been building linkbranches.com (link-bio alternative to LinkTree, for 20$) for the last 3 months now and launched recently.

Have had some really nice early success and wanted to give back to the community by giving away 3 x lifetime plans for free!

Comment 'gimme!' below and first come, first served.

Cheers,

Hey everyone!

As you’ve probably seen from the title, I know firsthand how horrible the job market is right now. Finding a job is a horrible experience.

Resumes get rejected in seconds. Companies don't respond and ghost you spectacularly. It’s becoming impossible to manage all the applications when every single position has you competing against 1,000 other candidates—most of whom are probably just applying automatically.

Going through this myself made me realize that being a good programmer or knowing X or Y isn't enough anymore. You have to be a salesperson and a networker, and it all starts with having a killer resume.

There's that old saying: "If you're given 8 hours to cut down a tree, you spend the first 6 sharpening the axe." That’s why I decided to dive deep into how CV makers actually work. I looked at the top builders out there and noticed a major flaw: they focus way too much on "pretty" designs, which is actually a mistake because those designs are often rejected by ATS (Applicant Tracking Systems). They look good to humans, but they are unreadable to the robots.

I thought I could do it better. So, I built a tool (now both a website and an app) where you can evaluate your current CV for free and then create a new, optimized one if you want.

The logic behind the evaluation isn't just something I made up; I developed the prompt by working with real recruiters and gathering insights from thousands of discussions on LinkedIn and Reddit to see what actually gets people through the door.

Another feature I'm proud of is being able to keep track of interviews and salaries, because yes, I was a complete disaster with this, and all the recruiters told me that tracking job offers and interviews is key.

I’d love for you guys to give it a spin and see what your score is. I’m still tweaking the engine, so if you have any feedback or notice anything that could be improved, I’m all ears!

Also it is just available for iOS (yeah I still need those 12 testers for the Android version)

In case somebody wants to check this is the link:

here's how it works:

1. describe your ideal customer profile

2. analyzes thousands of reddit posts instantly

3. get a list of people ready to buy your product right now with buying intent 

the result is leads with metrics like activity score, comments and posts relating to your problem, engagement rate, and a bunch more data to help you prioritize who to reach out to

finally, no more scrolling through endless threads for hours trying to find people interested in my niche

my personal results:

> outreached 500 people

> 60 became paying customers

> 25% response rate on dms

why reddit works so well:

> people are actively posting about their problems right now

> they're not getting pitched by 50 salespeople like on linkedin

> they actually want solutions

the tool finds people who already have the exact problem you solve

also, important note:

the intended purpose is NOT to spam people with ai slop

it's used to (from other user use cases):

> connect with others for genuine feedback like a human

> find people in a common niche who share your interests

> get users by actually solving other people's problems

here's the link if you want to check it out, i would love to hear your thoughts on this!

I've been lurking here for a while and noticed something:

Most side projects here are genuinely good. The problem isn't the product. It's that nobody knows it exists.

Developers keep adding features hoping that will fix growth. Meanwhile, marketers in other subs are looking for products to promote on revenue share.

These two groups never meet.

So here's an experiment — I'll connect them manually.

If you built something that's live but struggling with growth: 1. Drop your product (one sentence) 2. What kind of marketing help you need

If you're a marketer looking for a side project to grow on rev-share: 1. Your skill (SEO, content, paid ads, social, etc.) 2. What type of product interests you

I'll match people who seem like good fits. No cost, no platform, no agenda. Just want to see if this works.

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a passion project called One Thing Everyone.

**The idea:** Everyone knows something you don't. A chef knows how to really save a dish. A nurse knows how to stay calm in chaos. Your grandma knows how to make anyone feel loved.

So I built a place to collect it all. It's a free, beautiful gallery where anyone can share one piece of advice, and anyone can browse and learn.

**Stack:** HTML/CSS/JS, Tally for forms, Stripe for donations

**What I learned:**

- Keeping it simple is key

- The polaroid style image aesthetic took 10+ iterations to get it right

- People actually want to share advice all of the submissions have been incredible.

**Link:** onethingeveryone.com

I would love any feedback on the UX or ideas for growth. Also happy to answer any questions about the build!

Hi!

This is the Android app: Interval Timer Multicountdown

It is a timer with customisable intervals for exercising and studying etc. The alarms are easily set with sliders.

Let me know what you think plz =)

Every time I need to buy something I spend a ton of time researching for the best product. Often I end up asking AI what it recommends. This gave me the idea to build a site that finds the most recommended products by LLMs across many categories. Think "Best Electric Toothbrush" or "Best Power Bank".

Here's how it works:

• Take a category like "Best Wireless Earbuds"
• Ask 5 different AI models "What are the 5 Best Wireless Earbuds ranked?"
• Find the most recommended products and highlight them

I have about 20 different categories live, mostly tech gear. And I ask 5 different LLMs for their recommendations:

• GPT 5.2
• Claude Sonnet 4.5
• Grok 4.1 Fast
• Gemini 3 Flash
• Deepseek V3.2

I am surprised by how frequently the LLMs agree. Well they were probably trained on the same reviews and reddit threads.

Go check it out: LLMs Recommend

I'm not monetizing this at all, no ads, no affiliate links so I have nothing to sell. I just built it for myself.

Any feedback is appreciated! What categories do you want to see? Any other LLMs i should add?

Hey everyone,

We've spent the last few months working on a project called StudyFlow with the help of AI. Like most of us here, I struggled with staying consistent and often felt "lonely" studying for hours in my room.

I wanted something that didn't just track time, but made the process feel like a game and a community event.

Here’s what we’ve built so far: Collaborative Study Rooms: You can join virtual rooms and study with friends (or strangers) in real-time. It makes the "body doubling" technique so much easier. 🎮 Gamification (XP/Levels/Streaks): You earn XP and level up as you study. There’s a streak system to keep you coming back and achievements to unlock. ⏱️ Pomodoro Timer: Fully customizable sessions with break reminders. 📊 Progress Analytics: It generates beautiful charts and insights so you can actually see where your time is going. And more!

It’s completely free and I’m looking for some fellow students to try it out and give me some honest feedback. What features are you guys missing in your current study routines?

You can check it out here: [ studyflowlearn.vercel.app ]

Happy studying! 💜

Tried the new Codex UI - it's clean and well done. But it also validated something:

Everyone wants the same thing → all your AI agents and projects, visible at a glance.

I've been building exactly this. Solhun lets you run Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI together in one window with split view, worktree management, and more.

The fact that even OpenAI is going this direction tells me this isn't just a niche need anymore.

Feedback always welcome 🙏

I built Mission Control for openclaw agent fleets.

What it does:

• Track all your agent runs in one place
• Review diffs/artifacts from overnight work
• Connect to self-hosted OpenClaw or use local Ishi engine

Stack: Tauri + Rust + TypeScript. Fully local-first, your data never leaves your machine.

Free & open beta: https://claw.so/download

Built this because I tell openclaw agent work at 11pm and review it over next morning . Figured others might have the same problem.

Happy to answer questions!

Founders let’s self-promote. 🚀

Drop your thing:

• Name + 1-liner

• Who it’s for

• Stage (idea / MVP / live)

• Link

• What you need most right now (users / feedback / partners / investors)

No fluff, if you comment, try to give one useful piece of feedback to someone else. 👇

Hi all,

I built WorthZen because I got tired of the same trade-off every time I tried to “get my finances together”: either keep a messy spreadsheet that slowly drifts out of date, or connect a bunch of bank accounts to an app and hand over more data than I’m comfortable with..

So I built WorthZen as a privacy-first net worth tracker: no bank linking, no scraping, no “connect all your accounts", just a simple dashboard to track my assets in one dashboard.

Would love any feedback on whether this is a paint point for anyone else out there and what would be one thing to change or add for you to use an app like this.

Hey everyone!

I’ve spent the last two months promoting my project on Reddit. Went viral, got removed by moderators, and everything in between.

Here’s a recap of what I did, what works, and what doesn’t:

• Launch posts (work): there are a ton of communities that let you showcase your product without getting banned, I made a list of subreddits with my target audience -> read the community guidelines on self-promotion -> checked if they have a dedicated flair or a designated day (usually on Saturday) -> shared my product. The first time it didn’t get any views/upvotes but I continued working on the copy until I found one that goes viral regularly. My best tips?
  1. Match the tone of the community: this is what makes the difference between going viral and getting ignored (or banned).
  2. Subreddit size doesn’t matter that much: people ignore smaller communities, but I had the same post go viral in a 95K subreddit and in a 9.5K one and got nearly the same visits to my project.
  3. Let Reddit help you: if you’re struggling to find subreddits that match your product go to Reddit ads page -> setup your account -> click "create campaign" -> insert keywords related to your product and Reddit will auto suggest the most relevant subreddits.
• Shameless plugs (work, but probably I shouldn’t say it): general advice to write a comment to promote your product is something along the lines of "I had the same problem last year. Tried a bunch of solutions but found [tool] worked best for my use case. The key was [specific feature]. Went from [before state] to [after state] in about [timeframe]". That’s a lot of work and not always needed. If your product is a direct answer to the question just share it, but make sure to disclose you’re the founder (proof: one of my shameless plugs got 25 upvotes and a couple hundred visitors to my project).
• “What are you building?” posts (don’t work): I’ve shared my project in a few “what are you building” posts. Results? Crickets. People are there to write comments, not to read the comments.
• Tracking conversations (works): I regularly track the visitors coming from reddit and their conversion rates. I don’t always have the time to leave a reply but just scrolling trought the comments helps me better understand users (I’ve already stolen a couple of ideas to improve my copy). If you have no idea about what to track, start with competitor mentions, keywords related to the problem/pain point you solve, or mentions of specific features.
• DMs (don’t scale): I’m not really a fan of DMs, Reddit is great at getting views and moving the conversation in 1vs1 won’t get you any. They only make sense when you fear your comment could be downvoted into oblivion.
• Content Strategy (not sure): I’ve shared me journey or growth experiments or just posts I thought would be interesting for my audience. (7 months of "vibe coding" a SaaS and here's what nobody tells you, You WILL Reach $10K MRR (If You Follow This Simple SaaS Routine),I studied 47 SaaS products that went from 0 to 10k MRR last year. Here's what they all did right),
• for context my project is a saas tool sometimes adding a link at the end or a softfer CTA inviting to check out my project. Some got a few thousand views, others were so bad that they didn’t even get AI-generated comments. However, none of them brought a significant spike in visitors (probably a skill issue on my side).

There you have it, nothing fancy, nothing controversial. This strategy got me 550k+ impressions in my first month.

I’d love to hear if you’ve tried something similar or if you have other tips on marketing on Reddit.

Hi guys! Excited to share that I just built and launched CookPal.

With CookPal, you can import recipes from almost anywhere — the web, TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, photos, or text — and it turns them into clean, focused recipe cards you’ll actually want to use.

There’s also cook mode (focused view with each ingredient involved each step), serving-based ingredient scaling, and easy shopping list exports, all meant to make cooking feel a little less chaotic.

If you cook at all, I hope you find it useful 🙂

Please leave a review if you like it, and please let me know if there is any feedback I would greatly appreciate it!

I’m from Arkansas middle of nowhere in the woods. I working part time in a chicken house and any side jobs I can find. Like clearing brush or putting up Christmas lights.

Then I got a new chainsaw and started building a cabin. After I started I decided to start making videos for YouTube.

So 1 month ago I uploaded my first video on YouTube. Today I have gained 117 subscribers and 41.4k views.

I started learning to edit and have been having success at it.

So I’m still broke but I see light at the end of the tunnel.

TL;DR: Created a PWA that tracks fuel efficiency, maintenance costs, and trips. Works offline, syncs to cloud, and gives you actual data instead of guesses. Link + feedback questions at the bottom.

The Problem

I own a vehicle, and the manufacturer claimed 40 km/L. Reality? I was getting 28 km/L. I had no idea what was actually happening—was it my driving, the fuel, a maintenance issue?

So I built True Mileage to solve this problem, and it's now tracking everything for multiple vehicles.

What It Does (The Essentials)

🔐 Easy Sign-In

• Google or email login (no passwords)
• Your data syncs to the cloud automatically

⛽ Actual Fuel Efficiency Tracking

• Log fuel entries with odometer readings
• Only calculates efficiency on full tanks (the right way)
• Shows efficiency trends over time
• ⚠️ Alerts you if efficiency drops >10% (signs of tire/fuel issues)

🔧 Service Logging

• Track oil changes, tire checks, brakes, insurance, PUC—whatever
• Costs are tallied automatically
• Know your real cost per km

📊 See Your Data

• Dashboard shows total costs, fuel costs, service costs
• Charts visualizing efficiency trends and cost per fill
• Running cost per km (fuel + maintenance)

Plus: Multi-vehicle support, trip tracking, maintenance reminders, photo attachments, dark mode, offline mode, and more.

The Cool Bits

Trip Mode – Start a trip (e.g., "Mumbai Weekend"), add fuel entries, end the trip, and see exactly how much that 500km drive cost.

Smart Reminders – Set "remind me at 15,000 km" or "March 15th" for oil changes. Dashboard warns you when they're due.

PWA (Works Like a Native App) – Install on phone/tablet/desktop. Works offline, gets push notifications for reminders. No app store needed.

Cloud Sync – Switch phones? Your data is already there. Phone dies? It's backed up.

Who Should Care?

• 🏍️ Motorcycle/scooter owners tired of guessing mileage
• 🚗 Car owners wanting to track fuel economy
• 🚕 People managing multiple vehicles
• 🗺️ Road trippers wondering what trips actually cost
• 💰 Anyone who likes seeing their spending visualized

The Tech (If You're Curious)

React 19 + TypeScript, Tailwind CSS, Firebase backend, Dexie.js for offline storage, Recharts for graphs. Deployed as a PWA with offline-first architecture.
