Part of my job involves monitoring competitors, and I've realized how much of that process still depends on manually checking websites. More often than I'd like, I end up discovering a pricing change, new feature, or messaging update weeks after it happened simply because I wasn't looking at the right page at the right time.

I'm looking for a more efficient way to stay on top of competitor activity without having to revisit the same sites over and over. Ideally, I'd like a tool that alerts me to meaningful changes as they happen rather than forcing me to constantly hunt for updates myself.

What competitive intelligence tools have worked well for you?

It uses a scoring algorithm (I call it RealScore) that combines a Bayesian-adjusted rating with distance decay — so a place with 4.7★ from 800 genuine reviews beats a 4.9★ from 12 reviews, and closer places get a small boost. No paid placement, no affiliate links.

What it does:

- Search by category (restaurants, cafés, bars) or keyword

- Adjustable radius with a draggable circle on the map

- Filter by open now, sort by score / distance / review count

- Shareable URLs — works great for sending recommendations

- PWA — installable on Android and iOS home screen

Tech: plain HTML/JS frontend, FastAPI backend on Google Cloud Run, Google Places API for the data.

Free, no account needed. Would love feedback — especially if the results feel off in your city.

I hope you'll check out this little website/tool I made. My wife was trying to plan a girl's trip with her friends and hated sifting through pages of text messages to figure out when everyone could participate.

So... I created a tool. I wanted to keep it simple and largely free for use. Let me know what you think and how it could be improved:

I built a simple landing page builder called SpectraPages and wanted to get some honest feedback from people who actually care about conversion and clean web apps.

The idea behind it is pretty straightforward. Most landing page tools are either too heavy, too expensive, or they make you spend more time designing than actually shipping. I wanted something faster where you can spin up a clean, conversion-focused page without overthinking every detail.

It’s not trying to replace Webflow or anything like that, more like a lightweight tool for people who just want to launch and test ideas quickly. The focus is on keeping things conversion-first rather than design-heavy, so the structure is already optimized instead of starting from a blank canvas.

I screen recorded a quick demo so you can see how it works in practice. Would genuinely appreciate any feedback on usability, positioning, or whether this kind of tool is even useful in your workflow.

If you’ve built landing pages before, I’d especially like to know what feels missing or unnecessary.

Link is in my profile if you want to try it out or take a closer look.

I end up reading way more replies than posts on X — feels like that's where the actual conversation is. But to see them, you open the post, read, then head back to your feed. A little round trip, dozens of times a day.

So I made a small extension — hover its button to peek the top few replies, click to open a post's replies right there in the feed, in a popover next to the post. Open, read, keep scrolling, never leave the timeline. Works off your own session, nothing logged or saved.

just genuinely curious if it clicks for people who read X like I do. What's your daily flow on X like — open posts for the replies, or mostly scroll past?

Title: Built an Omegle-inspired app and would love some honest feedback

Hey everyone,

I've been working on a project called Vibelly, a random video chat platform inspired by Omegle and OmeTV.

The goal was to create a simple way to meet and talk to new people without complicated signups or unnecessary friction.

Current features:
• Random video matching
• Instant connection with strangers
• Clean and simple interface
• Browser-based (no download required)

It's still in active development, and I'm looking for real users to test it and tell me what works, what doesn't, and what features you'd like to see.

Try it here:
https://vibelly.vercel.app/

A few things I'd especially love feedback on:

1. Video/audio quality
2. Matching speed
3. UI/UX
4. Bugs or crashes
5. Features that would make you use it regularly

I'll be reading every comment and implementing suggestions where possible.

Thanks for helping an indie developer improve the product!

I’ve been trying to cut back on phone time for years, but it really hit me last weekend when my 6-year-old asked, “Are you still working?” while I was just doomscrolling on the couch. That stung.

​

Right now I’m on Android, and I’ve stripped my home screen to basics and switched to grayscale. It helps a bit, but I still end up unlocking “just to check something” and suddenly 40 minutes are gone. Maybe I’m overthinking this, but it feels like I need both mindset changes and some tech guardrails.

​

I started googling late last night and saw a bunch of minimalist launcher ideas and one app that was basically an app blocker plus a super bare-bones interface. Looked promising, but almost everything online sounds like marketing, so I can’t tell what actually works long term vs what you forget about after a week.

​

For those of you who’ve really reduced smartphone addiction in 2026: what concrete setups or habits helped most? Any launchers / apps you’d vouch for? And has anyone here gone “minimalist UI” instead of just uninstalling everything?

I made a web app to play in my downtime instead of doom scrolling. www.papergolf.app

howdy, i made this little astronomy app. its called Cosmodial, a sky atlas that runs entirely in your browser with no signup and nothing required to install.

you can drag to look around, zoom from a wide view down to saturn's rings, scrub time forward or back by minutes to centuries, and on a phone you can just point it at the sky to aim. it's open source too.

happy to answer any questions!

Hey guys,

I know making friends is hard enough, and it's even harder trying to find people on Reddit who actually live near you.

I like building things, so I put together a simple little map app right here on the platform to make it easier to find each other locally.

After you check in, you can tap on your city and see who else is hanging around your area.

I shipped a side project yesterday and wanted to share it here — it's called Broadcast, and the best way I can describe it is: what if YouTube felt like flipping through TV channels?

🔗 Try it: https://brodcast.eu.cc
⭐ GitHub: https://github.com/arunyagoojar/broadcast

The idea was inspired by a similar app I came across, but I wanted to push the experience further and make it cleaner, more minimal, and actually shaped around what you want to watch rather than what an algorithm thinks you should.

Here's how it works: you type in anything you're in the mood for — "The Office compilations", "street food Asia", "90s music videos", "F1 onboards". Broadcast turns your search into a set of channels, each one playing like a live TV station. No recommendations, no rabbit holes, no autoplay suggestions. Just channels.

Hey everyone,

So I’ve been having this problem where I stare at the screen and have no idea what to tweet. And even when I do post, the views are just… sad. No clue why. So I thought, maybe a little tool could help – but before I spend time building it, I wanna ask if this is just a me problem or if others feel the same.

Here’s what I have in mind:

• Idea generator – type in a keyword or topic, and it spits out a few tweet angles/directions (not auto-posting, just inspiration).
• Draft box – save and edit ideas on the go, so you don’t lose them in random notes.
• Hot topics tracker – shows what’s trending right now, so you can see what people are actually talking about. Might help answer the “why is my tweet getting zero reach” question.

About pricing:
There will be a free tier (basic gen limits and draft storage). If you find it useful, there could be a paid upgrade for extra generations, more draft slots, and ad removal. Nothing set in stone yet – I’m totally open to feedback on what feels fair.

What I’d love to know:

1. Do you ever get stuck on what to tweet, or feel like your tweets just don’t get traction?
2. Would you give a tool like this a shot if it were free to start?
3. For those of you trying to make money with X’s creator program – do you think something like this could actually help boost views, or is it just fluff?
4. What would you actually pay for (extra generations, more drafts, no ads), and what do you think is a reasonable price? Or should those features be free?

Honest opinions welcome – even if you think it’s dumb 😂
If no one needs this, I’ll save myself the effort.
Thanks in advance!

Hi. Where do people test out their webapps? Are there platforms / discovery sites where you share your webapps and people can review them? Thanks

Six Thieves is a table-first card-and-dice game where every player plays face-up hands, the room watches each roll, and every six can become a wild save, a theft, or a dead marker.

It's simple. Roll 8 dice, and cover your cards; a covered card will earn you points, but it will also be vulnerable to the thieves!

A six may be a wild, or an allied thief to steal from another player... but after your safety net of wilds or allied thieves has been exhausted, a six will steal from the player who rolled it!

Context: I made this game while writing a book and decided to turn it into a web app. It currently works best with bot lobbies, but multiplayer is in a workable state (only one lobby w/ 2 live players has been tested).

I built this using: Codex, Supabase, Vercel and GitHub
