API fuzzer built, currently supporting generating data from jsonschema but now expanding into also fuzzing grpc apis based on protobuf files. It's fun and I don't think LLM with all the uncertainty would fit as well since you want to cover the whole input space. Hope to charge 99$ or something per year for it but I don't know if anyone would pay for it :)

Pretty quick way to figure that out is to ask for it now, build the landing page.

A todo app for recurring personal projects. I found that breaking projects down into simple tasks really helps with my procrastination, but existing apps don't make that process too easy and quickly get cluttered.

My prototype lets me create project templates (that can contain other projects) and I can instantiate an arbitrary amount of them. Triggers can be a time ("every quarter") or some logical threshold (e.g. failing three workouts puts a "review fitness plan" action on my schedule).

It's my first real coding project and almost certainly too big, but it's been very fun to use so far and I already have ~50% of my ADHD social circle interested in the alpha.

Long-term (decades), no-subscription archival storage. Essentially, you buy a block of space, upload your data over time, and it gets distributed when you need it (if you lost a primary backup), or on your death (to friends and relatives, or whoever you choose), or on a specific future date. It's a mashup of a safety deposit box, time capsule, and deadman switch. It's not ready yet, but will be ready in a few weeks.…

How it compares to the more established forever.com? I have an account but dont like that they dont accept zip/encrypted files. I have to diguise them as video files :)

I made https://www.befuzzed.com/ a while back, but no emails yet. But I haven't tried to market it either so that's on me.

I asked for some feedback from some strangers on discord and thought I'd try to improve accordingly before attempting something more public.

But so far it's mainly been "that's a neat idea" rather than "Oooh, I want that! I'd pay for that".

I'm building a gamified habit tracker, similar to Habitica[1], but simplified in some ways, and with offline support. My biggest issues with Habitica are their lack of offline support (even on mobile), and their extremely downtime-prone servers. My goal is to make something more pleasant to use.

I don't have a link to share since it's still fairly early in development, but I'm making good progress!

This sounds like it would be useful to me at work. The types of projects I have to manage are often dependent on other tasks and shifting timelines, so a lot of the existing project management software I have tried feels "close but not quite."

Will you be releasing this for public consumption?

im building a simple service catalog available in slack. it lets you fuzzy search any service name (eg. payments or billing because naming is hard) and get back which team owns it, their working hours, runbook link ect. so you can answer who owns this? with 1 command. I'm still playing around with what pain points to solve for staff in large orgs s o any suggestions on what annoys you would be super helpful.

A desktop app that helps you stay focused on your most important tasks every day.

It appears on top of all your other applications to capture and channel your attention into the things you actually care about, before you get distracted.

In the morning, it helps you effectively plan your most important tasks and throughout the day it pulls your focus back to those tasks.

You can check it out here: https://dayglow.app

playcocola.com an online platform to help videogame developers receive valuable feedback on their projects. Collect and organize gameplay video recordings of testers' sessions, with text comments and thinking aloud. I'm building both the backend in Rails and the recording client in HTML/JS.
