I wrote a simple app last year that put all my Apple Watch workout routes on a simple map, so I can see how much of the city I’ve covered (all existing options were paid, and I was too cheap for it). Now I have some time, so rewriting it properly that’s based on neighbourhood, completion %s, achievements and etc. It’s weirdly fun, because I’m not a mobile engineer, but satisfying to see hundreds of users per month us…

HealthFit is pretty good, one-time fee, shows interesting heatmaps on all of your Apple Health workouts: https://apps.apple.com/de/app/healthfit/id1202650514

I've been working on a 3D voxel-based game engine for like 10 years in my spare time. The most recent big job has been to port the world gen and editor to the GPU, which has had some pretty cute knock-on effects. The most interesting is you can hot-reload the world gen shaders and out pop your changes on the screen, like a voxel version of shadertoy. https://github.com/scallyw4g/bonsai I also wrote a metaprogramming…

I think if you made this a plugin for an existing engine, say Godot, you could get a lot of use out of it. I'd use it!

Project Frottage: An automated constant stream of high quality AI wallpapers for mobile and desktop. We manually curate a list of ~150 prompts. Every 6h a random prompt is selected, a picture generated and uploaded to static hosting, free to use:

We just finished an android app, to set the wallpaper automatically on mobile: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.frottage

https://klutz.co.in is my main project. It started with the desire to create powerful AI free-of-cost, for me (the dev) and for you (the user)! This is how it works: 1. You login or signup using puter. 2. That's it!—you can now Chat with any website, a lot of LLMs and 19 other AI tools for entirely free.

But here's my problem: Not able to monetize Klutz. Because puter Auth doesn't let you track the email ID of users. So, they can just delete their puter account from puter.com and create a new one with the same email, to use the free trial again. This will make the pricing pointlessand abuse the system!

Any ideas other than ads? Anything would help!
