I am working on a platform that simplifies access control in an enterprise.

A lot of cybersecurity attacks happen because of stolen credentials. One big example is the supply chain attack, Shai Hulud. In a lot of enterprises, credential sprawl is a huge issue and figuring out who (people, services, ai agents) has access to to what systems is a paramount task.

At https://gearsec.io, we are building a platform where accesses are created via policies. The result is that, the enterprise doesnt deal with credentials anymore. They only need to define policies and nothing more.

I would love to know if you faced this problem and how are you solving them at your workplace!

Hi David,

Fran here. I'm building a niche tool for designers and architects to create AI renderings in seconds with no prompting skills, no ComfyUI installs, no chasing the latest Nano-Banana, Flux, or any other GenAI image model. I called it RenderAI. Want to make it simple and fast.

We already have thousands of users, which confirms there is a real need. Still, I’d love to get honest feedback. How can we stand out? Feel free to be blunt.

Check out https://RenderAI.app if you’re curious.

Hey,

Cheating in exams has quietly become a global industry — from small university tests to national certifications and professional licensing.

We’re building https://trustexam.ai that protect the integrity of high-stakes exams and certifications — from universities to government licensing and professional testing.

Our focus now is on scaling this globally and using ethical “white-hat” research to understand how people cheat and how technology can rebuild trust in digital assessments. What’s the best way to make that impact worldwide?

I still need to go back working on https://www.cinekids.info/ , a tool I made for myself to use before showing any movie to my 4 years old kiddo. It scrapes reviews from some parent friendly movie reviews websites and aggregates them.

I'm also automating more stuff around bookmarks management -> I used to manage an awesome list as a repository on GitHub for myself and over a couple of years there are relatively many stars on this repository. However I lost interest in maintaining this repo manually as I prefer to save my bookmarks on Shaarli. I'm coding a CLI tool to automate the work of syncing my shaarli links to my public "popular" (+500 stars) repo at https://github.com/SansGuidon/bookmarks

Myself and other users complain a lot about the "native" Plex -> Ombi watchlist integration being broken, I coded some sync tool to workaround the app malfunctions, by using Ombi, Plex and TMDB (The Movie Database) APIs and ensure Ombi is always up-to-date based on Plex watchlist. This works very well and allowed me to put a stop to the complains from my family members :-D

I'm also automating most of my email/linkedin interactions thanks to userscripts. And I keep automating more of the work I do around Cloudron, which is a very fun and stable platform to manage apps on VPS without the pains.

I’m developing a Mac desktop application that allows you to rewrite text using any LLM (via OpenRouter). Currently, users select text, copy it, and activate Cliptomic with a designated shortcut. The application then rewrites the text and replaces the original content in the clipboard, enabling easy pasting of the improved version. This project is still in its early stages: https://github.com/PaleBlueApps/cliptomic
