I’m building a virtual pet you can talk to. What would make you come back tomorrow?

I m building Wookie Companion for iPhone and Android. You hatch a pet, care for it, play mini-games, and chat with it. Each pet has its own personality.

I m looking for feedback on the first session. What would make you want to come back the next day? Would it be seeing your pet react to your care, discovering a new activity, or picking up a conversation where you left off?

There are screenshots on the Wookie Companion site: https://wookieworld.uk/

Want to test Wookie Companion? Email wookieworld@pccorreia.uk with Wookie beta in the subject. Tell me whether you re on Android or iPhone. For Android, include the email address you use with Google Play so I can add you to the closed test. Please keep your email address out of public comments.

I built an AI travel companion solo, while working full-time — launching tomorrow 🌍

Hey PH community

Tomorrow I'm launching Triply.now and I wanted to share the story behind it before the big day.

I'm Raquel, a self-taught solo developer based in the Netherlands. I built Triply entirely alone Flutter, Python/Flask, Claude AI, Supabase, Stripe, Vercel, Render. No co-founder, no funding, no team.

The idea came from my friends and my own travel fails. A friend showed up to a temple in Morocco in the wrong outfit. Another one didn't know tipping in Japan is considered rude. I had the wrong adapter in Switzerland and I once brought my hair dryer to Boston and couldn't use it European voltage, American outlets. Triply would have told me that before I packed. These aren't rare every traveler has been there.

MakeShort: turning scripts into narrated shorts — which step needs the most control?

I'm XingYu, the founder of MakeShort. I'm building a browser workflow for creators who start with a written story and need narration, captions, visuals, and music in a finished short video.
The current product has workflows for scripts, Reddit stories, and chat-style conversations. Creators can choose voice and subtitle styles, preview the result, and export an MP4 for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, or Reels.
A concrete use case: take an original short story, tighten it into a spoken script, choose the narration and background, then check caption readability and audio balance before exporting. You still need to review the story, pronunciation, and final video; generating a draft doesn't replace that judgment.
I'd particularly like feedback on the balance between a guided workflow and editing control. When making narrated shorts, which step most often sends you back to another editor: voice delivery, caption timing, or matching visuals to the story? What would you need to adjust before you'd feel comfortable publishing?

I built CutDone to turn vague goals into visible next steps

I kept seeing the same problem: people write down meaningful goals, but those goals stay too vague to act on.
So I built CutDone a small, visual planning tool that helps break a goal into concrete next steps you can actually finish. It includes focused tools for 2027 planning, choosing a word for the year, and breaking larger goals into manageable actions.
What I care about most is keeping the experience simple: no complicated project-management setup, just a clearer path from intention to action.

A tiny scent ball, a big UI question: guess first or reveal first?

Closed, this sixteenth-century German pomander looks like a small metal ornament. Open it, and it separates into hinged compartments with sliding covers. The Met records labels for aromatics including cinnamon, cloves, and rosemary. It is only about 6.7 cm tall.

That hidden interior is a useful design problem for my project: showing the opened photo explains the object immediately, but showing the closed photo first leaves room for a guess.

I'm the independent developer behind The Oddities Cabinet, an AI-assisted museum quiz site. The current version has 20 illustrated guessing stories and a wider catalogue of 1,000 real museum objects. Visitors can guess, reveal the explanation, or go straight to the story; no account is required.

Launching a self-hosted, one-time-license product on PH: what should makers expect?

Most launches here are SaaS with a free trial and a monthly plan. We're preparing to launch ClientOS, a self-hosted client portal for agencies that you buy once and run on your own server, and it made me wonder how PH treats that model.

For makers who've launched self-hosted, open-core, or pay-once products:

  • Did the lack of an instant "sign up and try it" flow hurt your launch-day conversions? What did you offer instead (demo, video, sandbox)?

  • How did you explain setup without scaring off non-technical hunters?

  • Did the "no subscription" angle resonate, or did people mostly ask about updates and support?

Soleil Clusters - Storage and Creative Workspace

Hey everyone, I m Tobe, the co-founder of Soleil Clusters, and I wanted to introduce myself and share what we re building.

What is Soleil Clusters?

Soleil Clusters is a creative workspace and storage tool built by artists for artists. It s made for people working in music, film, design, and branding who need one place for their references, projects, and ideas, instead of scattering them across screenshots, folders, group chats, and a dozen browser tabs.

With 1TB of storage, you can collaborate in real time on storyboards, moodboards, scripting, and pre-production, whether you re in the same room or working remotely. We built it because it was getting too hard working with others across the country and a lot of general-purpose whiteboard tools lack the storage that keeps everything together

Arguing with my AI showed me what I was missing

I asked my AI to move an old file into the history folder. It told me Living Projects didn't have a button for that. I built Living Projects.

It was right, there's no button. Living Projects keeps the record in your own storage, and the AI already has a connector for that storage, so it can move the file directly. I just hadn't described that in HOME, the file that explains how Living Projects works.

I handle old information two ways. Supersede is for a fact that changed: the old entry stays, marked. Moving to history is for wording I want out of what gets read. Only the first was written down.

So I added a short paragraph and ran a small test, one run each: the same short request, to take one word out of an old entry, in two test projects, one with the paragraph and one without.

RightLoop: Reveal patterns that help your routines work better — Beta Testers Wanted

Hi, I m Rob, the maker of RightLoop

I believe building habits shouldn t require perfect plans or unbroken streaks. We need structure that leaves room for real life and even an unfinished routine can teach us something.

RightLoop follows a simple cycle: Try Observe Adjust. Follow your routine step by step, keeping the progress you make. Smart Insights highlights patterns in your timing and completed or skipped steps. Add your own context to understand what helped or got in the way, then choose what to adjust.

I m looking for iPhone beta testers to help shape RightLoop. Try it with a routine of your own and tell me what you think.

Testing demand before building: hand-checked local businesses whose listed website is broken

I'm validating an idea before writing any code and would like honest pushback.

The idea (Gap Watch) is a proposed monthly, hand-verified list of local businesses whose publicly listed website is dead, parked, disconnected or unrelated. It starts with Austin hair & beauty and is aimed at freelance web designers and local SEO freelancers.
