Yoo, I'm actually excited typing this because I've spent months working on this.
You know the general advice people go with: "Build something people actually want"?
Good advice. But HOW do you actually figure out what people actually want (and what they're grumbling about today)? Most people use BigIdeasDB but the fact is it's paid, I mean fully paid :D
After lurking here for months and learning from all your discussions, I decided to build something to solve a problem that's always bugged me.
The Problem:
Every privacy extension treats all websites the same. Your banking site gets the same protection protecting protection level as a random blog. This leads to either over-blocking (breaking sites) or under-protecting(gaps).(privacy gaps).
My Solution: VEIL - an extension that provides context-aware privacy protection.
I m a student and developer, and I noticed that I spend 20% of my time writing reports and 80% of my time fighting with margins, font sizes, and alignment.
To fix this, I m building a web app called DraftFlow. I d love your feedback on the core workflow:
Raw Input: You just dump your raw, messy text into the app.
Auto-Canvas: The app switches to a "Canvas Mode" and automatically applies the correct styles (headings, paragraphs, title) based on the document type (e.g., Report vs. Article).
Split Screen AI: On one side, you have your styled doc. On the other, a Multi-Agent Chatbot that helps with grammar, tone, and suggestions without messing up your layout.
Done: One-click download to a perfectly formatted PDF.
I need your help with two questions:
Trust vs. Control: Is "auto-formatting" something you would trust for a final document, or do you prefer manual control over every pixel? I'm trying to decide how much editing power to give the user vs. keeping it fully automated.
The Idea: Please be honest is this tool actually needed? Is the pain of formatting documents big enough that you would switch to a tool like this?
Curious to see what other young makers, students, and indie hackers are building right now! Always love seeing side projects and early-stage apps come to life
I built a product that takes some time to get used to before it starts bringing real value. It's not easy, but I'm trying to slightly change how people think. Why?
The thing is, with the rise of AI chats, we've started thinking on our own much less. We make fewer independent decisions and come up with fewer ideas. The parts of the brain responsible for critical thinking simply stop working.
Think about it - when was the last time you fully thought through your own idea without ChatGPT?
For months, our team has been researching this question. From Bill Gates to Obama, one common trait among highly successful individuals is their ability to focus deeply and produce great work. But how exactly do they achieve this level of concentration? As we built BeforeSunset AI, we asked ourselves: What kind of feature could truly help people stay focused and maximize their productivity?
ClarifierAI is an app that provides a keyboard extension, allowing you to clarify, fix grammar, and translate seamlessly into over 100+ languages in any app. I'm currently in the state of validating the idea, currently have 155 testers in testflight. I received a lot of positive feedback and have an idea how to drastically improve it. https://daniilpak.github.io/clar... Please check it out, and let me know what you think
