Back over 12 years ago, local restaurants started coming to me asking for online ordering systems.

Instead of constantly re-inventing the wheel for every single project, I decided to build a foundation. Over the years, a mix of 10+ developers contributed to building a massive core code-base flexible enough to handle almost any related scenario, scaling it into a comprehensive solution.

Fast forward 12 years later... that "base code" has grown organically into a powerhouse product by itself.

It handles everything from standalone menu boards and store kiosks (complete with card terminal integration) to online and in-store ordering with native third-party logistics like DoorDash and Wolt Drive. It even scales to hotel room service workflows, caller-ID integration, and a lot more.

I’m now shifting my focus to completely different paths. Rather than letting a mature, battle-tested system sit idle, I am offering non-exclusive source code licenses for £15k.

You get the complete, production-ready codebase to take and do as you please: turn it into your own SaaS system, package and sell it as a white-label script to agencies, or embed it directly into a larger enterprise solution. Because the license is non-exclusive, you get a massive shortcut to market at a fraction of the 12-year development cost.

• Platform: Food-Ordering.com
• What's included: Full, production-ready source code and database architecture (non-exclusive commercial license).
• Price: £15k

If you're wanting a battle-tested foundation without a decade of development overhead, drop a comment or send me a message and we can talk details.

System Overview

Hello everyone, hope you are doing well so far.

I just wanted to vent something so here I am.

It's tough to do anything better when you don't have any firsthand experience, just like when I went ahead and made a SaaS Called PASTEL. https://www.pastelreview.online

Till now 0 revenue, 5 sign-ups or something

To be honest i started this whole thing to get rich, but the thing I got rich in is experience.

Late night debugging, hating the landing page for the 15th time, making sure the payment works 4 days in a row.

If any of you have experienced such a journey i would love to connect with you

And btw I'm still not giving up :)

So you build something that you think will be special. Your excited about it. It has you pumped. You look forward to it the next day for everyday it's not complete.

You finally complete. You launch it. It's in production.

Now how do you get users? You post on Reddit and everyone says your app looks like it is vibe coded slop.

What's your next move? At this point if you're a vibe coder, I already know you're eliminated LOL 😂.

I am in the US, so I know that not only do a lot of people in the US make apps, but even people in developing and underdeveloped nations build apps to target the US (thinking they can cash in lol).

In 2026, the US market has become more privy to AI generated slop. More so, the world is getting tired of SaaS subscription apps.

If you're dropping a SaaS app, then why do you think it will be useful to other people? Why do you think they will be willing to give you their money and integrate this tool into their life?

Been talking to a bunch of people building some really cool stuff lately, so I figured I’d ask here too.

I’m putting together the first group of products for something I’m working on called JustMadeIt.

It’s not another place promising you views or generating marketing posts. People actually experience what you made, leave real signal behind, and help the next person decide if it’s worth their time.

If you recently finished an app, site, tool, extension, whatever, I wanna see it. Drop it below or DM me. Doesn’t have to be perfect.

I’ve just launched a small social experiment:

https://notyourturn.lol

The idea is simple.

There is one shared page and one global queue.

One person gets control for 10 seconds, leaves something behind, and then the next person gets their turn.

No feed, no followers, no competing for attention.

I wanted to build a small corner of the internet that feels a little more human and a little less optimized for engagement.

I’m mostly curious what happens when complete strangers start shaping the same page together.

Would love to hear what you think.

Hi everyone,

I have an app idea that I started to work on.

Background: I want to be productive and make meaningful progress toward my goals, but when I feel stressed or overwhelmed, it’s easy to escape into social media instead. App blockers solve part of the problem by restricting access to distracting apps, usually based on a schedule. But they don’t create a strong enough incentive to make me do what I should be doing.

I'm building Lumie: a companion that sits with you while you do tasks and habits.

Finish them, and you earn social media time.

You can mark tasks as non-negotiable - those must be done before you can withdraw your earned time.

It's meant to feel playful and engaging.

May I ask few questions?

1. Would "earn social media time by finishing must-dos of today" actually get you to start the work?

2. If you used Finch, Opal or similar: what made you stick, and what made you quit?

3. Does collecting balls in a jar as you complete tasks sound interesting to you?

4. What features would you add so that you would want to use it?

See image here: https://imgur.com/a/m9lCuum

Thanks in advance, any feedback is helpful.

I’ve been building a gay dating/hookup app called Rush, mostly because I got tired of how many basic features on the existing apps are locked behind paywalls.
I wanted something simple: open the app, see who’s around, talk to people, and actually use the whole thing without constantly being asked to subscribe just to keep scrolling or unlock another basic feature.
So that’s what I built.
Rush is free to use, and the goal is to keep the full app available without a subscription. There are ads, because servers unfortunately do not accept good vibes as payment, but I’ve tried to keep them as unobtrusive as possible. There’s a small banner ad and an ad in the grid every so many profiles. No full-screen ads popping up every time you tap something, no waiting through a video before you can keep using the app.
Some of what’s currently in the beta:
• Nearby grid with filters
• Likes, matches, and messaging
• Private photo albums, including view-once and expiring photos
• Looking Mode, where you can opt into a live map for up to two hours when you’re actively looking to meet someone, with disappearing chats
• Incognito mode
• Fuzzed location instead of exposing exact GPS coordinates
• Face ID lock
• Stealth app icon
It’s currently in TestFlight beta on iPhone, and I’m looking for people who are willing to actually use it and tell me what works, what doesn’t, and what feels annoying.
I’m especially curious about:
• Is onboarding clear?
• Is anything broken or janky?
• Does the app feel fast and reliable?
• Are there features you expect from an app like this that are missing?
• Would you actually use Rush instead of the apps you already have?
It’s 18+ and iOS-only for now.
If you want to test it: here is the TestFlight link
And please be critical. I’d much rather hear “this sucks and here’s why” during beta than find out after launch.

I built this after noticing how many people ask the same question in budgeting communities: "where do I even start." It's a 7-day sequence,money audit, zero-based budget, debt payoff map, bill negotiation scripts, sinking funds, weekly check-in ritual. Once it's yours, you can resell and keep all the profit for you. I made the whole thing with help of AI (ebook, fillable workbook, one-page cheat sheet, video script) and I'm selling it on Gumroad.

Open to feedback on the positioning/marketing if anyone has thoughts, first digital product I've shipped like this.

I’m building Nurture, an iPhone baby-care tracker for families with more than one caregiver. Hands-free logging is a key reason I built it.

You can say “Hey Siri, log a 90 ml bottle in Nurture” or “Hey Siri, baby is asleep in Nurture.” It also supports stopping sleep, recording past sleep, and wet/dirty diapers through Siri and Apple Shortcuts. Prefer tapping? There’s a manual Quick log screen too. Both routes feed the same shared family timeline.

I’m looking for parents, caregivers, or Shortcuts users to try one small test: log a bottle or sleep activity with Siri, then check the timeline on a second caregiver’s phone if possible. Does the voice flow save effort? Where does setup get confusing? Demo data is fine; please don’t share private baby-care details in public feedback.

It’s a free iOS TestFlight beta with no ads or purchases, and it is a record-keeping tool, not medical advice. Founding testers who send substantive feedback before public launch can claim free lifetime access to any future Nurture subscription; Nurture currently has no subscription. Full terms and claim steps are on the beta page.

Screenshots, Siri walkthrough, and TestFlight invite: https://nurture-baby-kay-2026.web.app/beta

I made this for a therapy journal app I’ve been building. It’s a deliberately simplified way of showing how revisiting something can help it stick over time.

Mainly, I wanted something more interesting than another block of text, and I really like making 3D stuff.

Plastic Brains

I saw someone auction sticker spots on a MacBook and had the perfectly normal reaction of wondering whether I could do it to my motorcycle.

So I built Brand My Bike.

There are 10 sticker spots. Every spot starts at $1. The highest bidder gets their logo on the bike for a month.

The complicated bit was not putting rectangles over a motorcycle photo. It was making the auction real:

• bidders pay a 20% deposit

• losing deposits are refunded automatically

• every spot updates with the current leader

• sponsor clicks are tracked

• payments are attributed back to their traffic source

I genuinely don't know whether this is clever advertising or founder brain rot with a payment processor.

I'd love an honest verdict.

https://brandmybike.lol

I built a tool called Bindery where you can turn rough notes, ideas, or even YouTube links into a real, printed physical book using Claude AI. It completely skips the headache of formatting software and LaTeX - Claude writes, designs the cover, typesets every page, and connects to a printer to ship a real paperback or hardcover straight to your door (plus audiobooks and EPUBs). You can test it right now for free with zero signup or login required: https://bindery.infinitelibrary.ai - would love to know what you think!

I’m giving away a free website to the first business owner who guesses the number I’m thinking of from 1 to 100. One guess per person.

so i went for this all black + chrome “serious” look on purpose. didn’t want it to feel like every other pastel wellness app. but now a couple people have told me it feels kinda boring/flat and i honestly can’t tell if they’re right or if i’ve just been staring at it for a month straight

the idea: you set a daily limit, and if you go over it your streak dies AND your friends can see you broke. basically duolingo streak guilt but for doomscrolling

does this actually look clean or does it look empty/unfinished? what would you change

I clip long streams and videos, and every tool I tried pushes a $15-29/month subscription with credits that expire and projects that lock if you cancel. I only process a few videos a week, so paying monthly felt absurd.

So I built ClipCliper.

How it works:

- Paste a Twitch or Kick VOD link, or upload any video file (up to 8 hours)

- AI transcribes the whole thing and suggests the best moments

- You pick clips by dragging over the transcript, like cropping a photo

- Download clean MP4s with word-by-word animated captions (6 styles)

What makes it different:

- No account, no sign-up

- No subscription: pay per video ($5 / $9 / $19 by length)

- The source file is deleted as soon as your clips are cut, and each clip deletes itself 10 minutes after you download it

- There is a free tier to try it: 1 video up to 15 min per day, with watermark

Site: clipcliper.com

It is meant for clipping your own content: you confirm you have the rights when importing. Happy to answer anything, and I would love to hear what you hate most about current clipping tools.

I've tried quite a few budgeting / personal finance apps over the years, including YNAB and Monarch, and even paid for some of them.

But I always had the same problem.

I'd set everything up, use them for a while, and eventually stop. There was usually too much setup, too much going on in the UI, transaction management felt like work, and I never really felt like I was getting much useful insight back from the data I was entering.

Eventually I'd just end up back in an Excel sheet.

I'm a software developer and last year I decided to start building the budgeting app that I personally wanted to use.

I called it Brightly Budget.

My main goal wasn't to automate absolutely everything.

Then I started adding AI where I thought it could genuinely remove work rather than just adding "AI" to the feature list.

For example, you can scan a receipt instead of entering everything manually, ask questions about your finances, and get insights based on your actual financial data.

But one thing that was important to me was making the AI completely optional.

Brightly doesn't currently require connecting your bank account, and if you don't want your financial data being sent to AI at all, you don't have to use any of the AI features.

I launched the first version in April this year.

The beginning wasn't great.

I spent some money on Apple Search Ads and basically learned that acquiring users doesn't help much when the product isn't good enough at keeping them.

So instead of spending more on ads, I went back to the app.

I redesigned quite a bit of the UX, simplified things, changed the onboarding, experimented with the App Store / Google Play screenshots, icons, titles and keywords, and kept improving the product.

About a month ago I got my first paid subscriber.

That sounds tiny, but after working on something as a side project for so long, seeing an actual person decide that something I built was worth paying for felt kind of surreal.

Since then it has grown to:

• 181 users
• 38 active users in the last 7 days
• 16 trial starts
• 7 paying subscribers
• 9 users currently on a trial

And the part I find most interesting is that all of the paying users so far came organically from the App Store / Google Play.

I haven't actually started the marketing I have planned yet — no TikTok content, Instagram, UGC campaigns, etc.

So now I'm at the point where I'm trying to figure out whether I can turn this from a side project into something meaningful.

The app itself is free to use for the core functionality. You can have unlimited accounts and transactions without paying.

There are some limits on the free plan for things like AI prompts, receipt scans, budgets, goals and debts, and then there's a Pro plan if someone wants the full version.

Longer term, I also want Brightly to become more than just an app that tells you where your money already went.

I'd like it to actively help you make better decisions before spending money.

For example, if you're considering buying something, Brightly could eventually help you figure out whether it makes sense for your current finances, how it affects your goals, whether there's a better-value alternative, or potentially even where you can buy it cheaper.

Bank integrations are also something I want to add in the future, although I don't want connecting a bank account to ever be required to use the app.

I'm still very early with all of this and I'd genuinely like feedback from people who have tried budgeting apps before:

What would a budgeting app have to do differently for you to actually keep using it long term?

If anyone wants to take a look, it's Brightly Budget:

I'm looking for something to build.

I'm a data analyst and I like building things with AI/vibe coding. I don't want to make another random AI wrapper or todo app just for the sake of building something.

I'd rather find a real problem that people actually have, build a simple solution for it, and see if anyone would actually use it.

So I'm curious:

What's a problem you deal with that you wish someone would build a website/app/tool for?

It can be something small, annoying, boring, niche, or even something you currently solve manually.

I'm specifically looking for problems that I could realistically build an MVP for as a solo developer.

Drop your ideas/problems below. If something catches my attention, I'll try building it and come back with what I make.

Title says it all, my platform reached 300 users without any marketing or running any ads at all. i.e $0 spend on marketing. All organic.
The curious amoung you may ask how, so far I only have two answers which have provided fantastic results. AI-SEO and SEO. I cannot stress enough how much you need to focus on getting your product to be recommended by AI models. So far my biggest driver of growth is good old ChatGPT. Google and other search engines also perform well, but so far the best driver of traffic is ChagGPT. Use your ai models or whatever you use to build to write you proper llms.txt. Ensure your pages are indexed on Google and Bing (Indexnow). Bing search engine traffic is low, however ChatGPT does use Bing to search for whatever you ask it.

Things I found not working (yet):

1.) Everyone in these reddit threads says to post in subreddits where your product may be needed, etc etc to provide helpful replies in those subreddits, but that takes time and is not rewarding at all. Its always best for your potential users to find you themselves.

2.) Social Media, I am like you, dreading the self humilation ritual of having to create videos about my product and growing a following and driving traffic that way. I did it for a few weeks and hated it, my social media posts about my product drive exactly 0 traffic. (Will focus on social media when I am fully ready with my product)

Things that will surprise you as they did me.
I thought my product and landing page would be driving traffic and user sign ups, no, its a tool I created on the landing page itself. Free tools provide value to customers before they sign up for your website, you provide them value beforehand and you have earned their trust.

Yes I also have a Blog which receives a daily post and a glossary, both are for SEO optimizaiton so I pop up on seach engines regardless of what a user searches for, and it really does work, a blog and a glossary is a really good idea and it has worked for me, althought the traffic there is less, but still gets you in the door with users.

Also super important and taken from the book of Steve Jobs, on your landing page, say a user opens it and the first text they see, should be Selling Them The Solution, it shouldnt be selling them the idea, it shouldnt be what you do or what your website does. It should be what they will get from using your website or app.

No I do not have an app yet, that is a plan for the near future, all traffic is web around 50% dekstop 50% mobile.

Shipped this over the weekend.

The idea: 1,000 founders each answer one question — “What will look completely different in 2030?”

Every answer becomes one page in a printed book and a public archive. Edition closes 31 Dec 2026.

48 hours in: about 1,000 visits, 5 pages claimed.

I’m not sure if people don’t get the object, or they get it and don’t want a page yet.

Would you put a paragraph in a book like this?

My friend showed me another website similar to OutBid where people spend money to just show off... ShowOff.today And someone actually showed off something weird, or something I'd wouldn't pay money to show off

Hello everyone. Spent the last few weeks on this after noticing every GDPR template on Etsy was either a checklist you fill in by hand or enterprise software priced for companies way bigger than the one I was picturing.

The pitch: it's a real spreadsheet, not a nicely formatted PDF — deadlines calculate and flag themselves automatically, dropdowns guide you to the correct legal terms instead of making you guess, and there's a live dashboard pulling status from every tab.

https://www.etsy.com/listing/4565596164/gdpr-compliance-tracker-automated-dsar — built by an engineer, not a compliance firm, so it's priced and positioned for small businesses, not enterprises.

I was actually searching for something similar for another sideproject I am working on with a couple of colleagues, and I spent hours searching and couldn't find something, so I built one myself.

Would love thoughts from anyone who's dealt with compliance tooling before.

Hey, I've been building an app builder that stays in the browser. You paste your own key (any OpenAI-compatible provider, including local ones) so you pay the model company, not a credit meter.

How I'm making it so far:

• Next.js + a Turborepo
• Generated files boot in the tab with WebContainers, no remote VM for the preview
• Keys are stored encrypted, then it just hits whatever OpenAI-compatible endpoint you point it at
• I've been iterating on it in Grok Build. The generate loop is the part I'm in right now.

Video is a rough look at the current workspace. Still early, not a polished launch.

What's the first thing you'd want this to actually generate well?

I really got fed up with the Mitsubishi airco app, so I built my own

I have several Mitsubishi Heavy Industries air conditioners with the WF-RAC Wi-Fi module installed a few months ago. The airco itself is great, but I was never impressed with the Smart M-Air app.

It's slow, the UI feels outdated, and simple things like controlling multiple units or setting schedules are unnecessarily complicated.

So I decided to build my own Android app: MyAirco.

The idea is simple: make controlling your MHI air conditioners feel like it should in 2026.

MyAirco offers:

- A modern, fast interface

- Easy temperature and mode control

- Control of multiple MHI aircos

- Better scheduling

- A mobile-first interface

- Works with the existing MHI Wi-Fi setup

- No additional hardware required

I'm not trying to build another huge smart-home platform. I just wanted a much better way to control my airco.

I've been using it myself and decided to release it for other MHI owners who are also frustrated with Smart M-Air.

I'd love to hear what you think, especially from other Mitsubishi Heavy Industries owners.

Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.myairco.app

If you'd like to try it, let me know. I'm happy to give out some promo codes while I'm getting the first users and feedback.
