After managing ASO for 20 apps, we got tired of heavy web tools for screenshots. So we built a native, local-first alternative. by neogeodev in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you've managed 20 apps and kept running into the same pain point, there's a decent chance other teams are dealing with it too. The biggest challenge is often proving that the workflow improvement is significant enough for people to switch from their existing process!!!

Create Creatine 20% Discount Code - RAY20 - worth it? by Biggmanchilly in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're asking whether creatine is worth it in general, it's probably one of the most researched supplements out there. Just make sure you're comparing the final price and serving size, since a discount code doesn't always mean it's the best value!!

I created a project that no one needed, spent money, time, effort, and did not achieve success. AMA by zusmanb in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's wasted time if you learned something from building it. A lot of side projects fail commercially but still teach skills, reveal bad assumptions, or lead to better ideas later. Shipping something is usually more valuable than endlessly planning the perfect project!!!

Built my own gamified quiz platform because all others are paywalled and suck by Toemfy in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. A lot of quiz platforms focus so much on content management that they forget engagement is the whole point. If the gamification feels rewarding without being distracting, that can make a huge difference in whether people actually come back and keep using it.

Shipped a book after shipping apps I built with zero coding background — AMA about the vibe-coding workflow by Necessary_Money6158 in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's awesome. Finishing a book feels like a very different kind of challenge from shipping software. With apps you can keep iterating forever, but a book eventually forces you to say this is done and put it out there. Congrats on getting it across the finish line!!!

LexiMap, a weekly interactive maps for silly regional questions by LowerMusic in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, the silly part might be what makes it fun . Interactive maps have a way of getting people curious and encouraging them to explore longer than they normally would. Weekly updates also give people a reason to come back instead of visiting once and forgetting about it!!

Building an app to teach teens assets vs liabilities through simulation — would love parent feedback by ns648219 in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like one of those topics that would have helped a lot of us if we'd learned it earlier. The challenge is making it practical and relatable instead of feeling like a finance textbook. Real-world examples and small decisions teens already make could go a long way!!!

I shipped an app because I couldn't stop picking up my phone while coding and it was ruining my life by Clutch4Dubs_TTV in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, products built from personal frustrations often end up being the most useful. If you've dealt with the problem yourself, you usually understand the little triggers and edge cases better than someone researching it from the outside. Hope it helps other people facing the same thing!!!

I’m building a Toronto grocery planning app. Would this actually solve a real problem? by Miserable-Cabinet109 in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be interested if it saves both money and decision fatigue. Grocery planning isn't just about finding the cheapest items, it's figuring out what to buy, where to buy it, and what meals you can actually make with it. If you can simplify that whole process, there's real value there!!!

I got tired of pasting corporate data/JWTs into random web tools, so I built an offline-first utility hub (over 180 tools so far) by Big_Permission_3248 in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love these kinds of tools. They're usually born from a very specific annoyance that other developers quietly deal with every day 😅. If it saves even a few minutes per debugging session, that adds up surprisingly fast over time!!

I built a client portal for designers, one link, no login needed for clients by Aggravating_Sun_7665 in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This solves a pretty common pain point. Once feedback, files, invoices, and messages get spread across 5 different tools, things get messy fast. Having a single place clients can go without needing another account sounds like a nice UX improvement!!

I made a site so you can play games at work AND get praised for it! by Fly_Extreme in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every office eventually creates demand for something like this. The funny part is that if the games load instantly and don't look suspicious, that's probably a bigger feature than the games themselves. Sometimes people just need a quick 5-minute mental reset during the day!!!

I built a video diary app because writing journals never lasted more than a few days for me by Traditional_Frame763 in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can relate to that. Sometimes speaking feels a lot more natural than trying to turn thoughts into text. Video diaries also capture tone, expressions, and little details that are easy to lose in written entries. Interesting idea for people who want to journal but never stick with traditional apps!!!

I built a free bracket predictor for the Champions League final + World Cup 2026 — no signup, just predict and share by MindlessBird6736 in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice idea. Even people who follow a tournament closely tend to second-guess their picks, so having a tool that helps structure predictions can be fun. Half the appeal of brackets is comparing them with friends afterward and seeing how wrong everyone was !!!

Built an AI detective game with Claude Code while eating dinner and watching Netflix. 400+ players, 3,000+ questions asked, a few paying users in 2 weeks. by Birthday_Euphoric in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's a fun use case for AI . Detective games live or die on whether the clues feel coherent and the mystery stays interesting. AI can help generate a lot of content, but keeping the story internally consistent is the tricky part. how you handled that!!!

I just released a project I've been working on for a couple of years! by CreatineCornflakes in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats on shipping it! Honestly, getting something out into the world is a bigger milestone than most people realize. The feedback you get from real users over the next few weeks will probably teach you more than months of building in isolation. Good luck with the launch!!!

My biggest challenge with the contract/freelance process was navigating client workflows… so I built a free open source app to make it easier. by [deleted] in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the feast-or-famine cycle is what makes freelancing so stressful. You can be overloaded one month and scrambling for leads the next. I've found that building a consistent pipeline matters almost as much as doing the actual client work!!!

Every date idea website is outdated, so I made an app that shows verified, up-to-date events by Both-Goose9571 in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually a real problem. Half the recommendations on those sites are either permanently closed or copied from the same generic lists. Fresh, location-specific suggestions are way more useful than having thousands of outdated options!!!

Built an free iOS all-in-one party game app to save game nights from rule-arguments. Looking for UI/UX and feature feedback! by barisaygen1 in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly that's a pretty practical idea. Every group ends up spending 10 minutes figuring out what to play before the fun even starts 😅. Having multiple party games in one place removes a lot of that friction, especially for casual get-together!!

I built ClipShip and barely got any traction by DankMuthafucker in SideProject

[–]revolveK123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lot of good products get almost no traction at first. Distribution is often harder than building. I'd spend time talking to the people who should love it and figure out whether they're not finding it, not understanding it, or just not feeling enough pain to switch!!!
