I'm Krishan, solo dev in the UK. DiskFox is a Mac app that keeps a history of your storage, so instead of "System Data: 80 GB" it tells you what grew and when, like Spotify's cache coming back a week after I cleared it.
Launched it here this morning and it's sitting at #251, so clearly something isn't landing. Would genuinely like blunt feedback:
- Is the tagline clear? ("See what's eating your Mac's storage, and why")
got tired of finding subscriptions i forgot i was paying for, so i built tracked, an app that watches for renewals and shows you something cheaper instead of just the bad news. ended up building a small directory into it too, other builders can list their own app if it's a real cheaper alternative to something people already pay for.
curious what you're all building in this space, and if the "cheaper alternative" directory idea is even useful or just another feature nobody uses. form's here if you want to throw yours in and see: usetracked.com/submit
I want to share a personal realization that completely changed how I look at productivity and AI software.
For months, I fell into a lazy routine: instead of actually writing my own emails or reports, I would just type a brief, one-sentence prompt into a cloud LLM and let it generate the entire text from scratch for me. I would then copy-paste the output without a second thought. It felt like peak efficiency.
My LLM provider (OpenAI, to be exact) gave me one number: total spend, aka a bill. But I wanted to know which function in my app spent more, and why. The code or the summarizer? Obviously the code, right?
There was no way for me to see my usage broken down. So I built a tiny thing for myself: one line after each API call, sending the token counts and a feature name. I only wanted visibility, nothing more.
Then I got curious whether anyone else cared, and went looking. My problem turned out to be the door into a rabbit hole.
I just launched Tolop - a curated library that rates and ranks AI coding tools based on their free tiers.
The problem: There are 100+ AI coding tools out there. Most have "free tiers" but they're wildly different - some are genuinely useful, others are just demos. I got tired of signing up for tools only to hit limits after 10 minutes.
One of the biggest challenges we've encountered while building FounderFlow is teaching AI the difference between information that's important and information that actually requires an executive's attention.
At first, it seems straightforward: analyze incoming emails, identify priorities, and help founders decide what to do next.
A few years ago, Google's algorithm changed and the traffic to my GIF site plummeted. The site lets users customize GIFs from templates that I make (birthdays, holidays, etc)
Since then, I sort of gave up on the site as a lost cause but always looked for other opportunities to use the tech.
