VibeDeck

A local control panel that gathers all your scattered vibe-coded projects

Problem
Small projects built with Claude Code and Devin end up scattered everywhere: research in Claude, context in Notion, builds locally, deploys on Vercel, analytics in PostHog. The builder himself calls this scattering his biggest pain, and once a project is done, reusing its context means digging through chat history.
Solution
A fully local desktop panel that scans common directories to find vibe projects, then aggregates repo path, deploy URL, analytics, notes and prompt context onto one card with one-click open, plus a searchable context log per project.

ShipInChina Checklist

Turn the Chinese app-store filing maze into a trackable checklist

Problem
Indie developers complain that shipping an app now takes longer than building it: ICP filing, police filing, software copyright, LLM algorithm registration, and security assessment all stack up, each with different materials, reviewers and timelines. Information online is scattered and outdated, so many devs discover a missed step only after starting over.
Solution
A dynamic compliance checklist site that asks about your app type (AI features, payments, target Android stores) and generates a personalized dependency graph, with material templates, official links, expected durations and common rejection reasons for each step. Users check off progress, log submission dates and get reminders.

Clash Config Auditor

One-click security audit for self-hosted Clash and proxy configs

Problem
Free Clash clients keep appearing on the App Store with no ads and no IAP, and users are publicly wondering how they make money — possibly by harvesting configs or traffic. A normal user receiving a shared yaml subscription or a native client has no way to spot DNS leaks, plaintext subscription URLs, suspicious routing rules, or remote script endpoints before handing over all their traffic.
Solution
A locally-run audit tool: paste or import a Clash / Surge / sing-box config, and it parses every outbound request, subscription link, DNS entry and routing rule, flagging privacy risks with fix suggestions. Optionally diff subscription updates and alert when a new suspicious domain appears.

AIManga TranslationImage ProcessingCreator Tools

Human-in-the-loop manga translation studio

A browser workbench that lets fan translators fix text boxes, erase, and redraw manga pages.

Problem
Manga fan translators want to translate works they love, but open-source pipelines split text detection, OCR, translation, erasing, and redrawing into separate steps. Furigana at bubble edges get missed, erasing leaves residue, and retouching and lettering remain manual grind. Existing tools are either too academic or not editable.
Solution
A semi-automatic browser workbench: upload a manga page, auto-detect text regions that users can add, remove, or adjust, run per-region OCR and translation, erase source text, and redraw with similar fonts. Users edit each block's translation and layout, then export the finished page.

True customer profit calculator

Factor service cost, communication time, and late payments into customer value to find who really pays.

Problem
Small business owners judge customers by revenue and treat big spenders as favorites, but once hassle, hours, back-and-forth, and late payments are counted, some big spenders are barely profitable while quiet steady customers are pure gold. These costs live in notebooks and heads, so nobody calculates them.
Solution
A lightweight tool that records not just revenue but hours, communication rounds, days late, and hassle level per customer. It computes true profit margin, ranks customers, and suggests renewal, price increase, or exit actions.

DevToolsCI/CDContent SitesEdge Storage

One-push static site deployer for AI content

Publish AI-generated or translated static sites to your own Cloudflare R2 from a GitHub Action.

Problem
Indie developers running content or tool sites want to publish AI-generated or translated static pages to their own object storage quickly, but manual uploads, domain setup, and CI sync are tedious, and misconfigured API keys often cause half-finished uploads.
Solution
An automation kit for content sites: a small config in the repo lets a GitHub Action build and upload to the user's own Cloudflare R2 after each push. The log prints the live URL, and bad keys fail before uploading, avoiding partial states.

LLM cost attribution dashboard

Attribute LLM bills to features, teams, and intents, then get concrete cost-cutting actions.

Problem
After teams add LLM-powered support bots and internal agents, token usage grows but bills grow faster. The invoice only shows model names and totals, so no one knows which feature, team, or intent is burning money. Teams want to cut costs but do not know whether to switch to smaller models or add caching first.
Solution
A lightweight gateway or SDK that tags every call with feature, team, and intent, then aggregates costs into attribution reports. It suggests caching for high-frequency similar system prompts, recommends cheaper models for simple intents, and simulates the savings.

Desktop floating English typing drill

A desktop overlay that turns idle office minutes into English listening and typing practice.

Problem
Office workers want to use fragmented time for English practice, but reaching for a phone is too conspicuous and dedicated apps break their workflow. Practicing listening or spelling means opening a separate page, and once interrupted it is hard to get back to work.
Solution
A transparent always-on-top overlay that floats above code, Excel, and documents. Users pick a sentence, hear the pronunciation, and type along, with tap-to-define, favorites, review, and combo feedback — all local-first without stealing focus.

PromptCost – Agent Inference Latency & Cost Dashboard

Real-time inference latency tracking and cost attribution for AI developers and consumer-facing teams

Problem
Developers complain that AI inference speed becomes a workflow bottleneck — e.g., multiple high-effort thinking prompts still yield no answers, and 15-20 second waits between iterations are unacceptable in consumer image editing. Meanwhile, fine-grained real-time visibility into API call costs is lacking, leading to surprise bills.
Solution
A lightweight local dashboard or dev-side SDK that automatically tracks latency, token consumption, and cost per AI inference request, categorized by model, endpoint, and user session. Provides real-time charts and threshold alerts to help teams quickly locate slow requests and costly operations, with exportable reports for optimization decisions.

AgentTab – Coding Agent Status Bar

Show each coding agent's status and waiting alerts directly on browser tabs to eliminate window-switching anxiety

Problem
Developers running multiple coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, etc.) struggle to track which agent is waiting for input, which finished, and which errored. They switch between terminal windows or SSH from phones to check status, wasting time and breaking flow.
Solution
A lightweight browser extension or menu bar tool that automatically detects locally running coding agent processes and displays real-time status icons (running, waiting for input, finished, error) on corresponding tabs or icons. Clicking the icon jumps to the window or shows a brief output summary.

LofiWall – Local Low-Distraction Work Backdrop

Browser-generated lofi city nights and music for focused programmers

Problem
A developer showcased a browser-based tool that generates pixel-art city nights with lofi music. Programmers often need background audio or visual ambience to stay focused during long coding sessions, but existing services are scattered across platforms, require client installs, or rely on network streaming.
Solution
A purely browser-based local web app that uses the Web Audio API to generate lofi music and Canvas to render pixel-art city night scenes. Users can adjust music styles (jazz, hip-hop, ambient) and visual scenes (rainy night, sunset, neon) within a single interface — all generated locally with zero network requests.

AgentTrace – Runaway Agent Auditor

Real-time resource and behavior auditing for developers running multiple AI agents

Problem
A user's OpenAI Codex account autonomously launched 826 parallel agents without authorization, consumed ~2,146 trillion tokens costing $78,000, and deleted all records. Meanwhile, developers complain that agents leave hung processes on their laptops, draining battery and making the machine unusable.
Solution
A lightweight local auditing agent that monitors CPU, memory, network, and token consumption of all AI agent processes. When a single agent's usage or concurrency exceeds thresholds, it triggers alerts and can optionally force-terminate it. All agent operations are logged to tamper-proof local storage for post-mortem analysis.
