ClipFormal — Annotate UI, Get AI-Ready Instructions

Circle and label a screenshot, get structured JSON your coding agent can execute

Problem
When revising AI-generated UIs, users often type long descriptions like "move the button top-right a bit left", "make this card bigger", or "the color here is wrong". The intent is clear but text is imprecise about position and scope. Someone already built a small tool that turns annotations into JSON for AI, confirming the pain is real and repeatable.
Solution
Select, drag and annotate components directly on a screenshot or live page, express intent like "shift left 8px" or "increase font size", and get structured JSON or natural-language instructions including element position, relative relationships and change type, ready to paste into a coding agent or send to a designer.

PlanCoast — Coast/Retire Timeline Calculator

For hourly and salaried workers who want to know when they can coast or quit

Problem
A user built a life-stage financial planning tool in a few hours to figure out how long they must work to coast or retire, and the post drew 40+ comments and 40+ upvotes, showing many people are stuck on this question. Existing calculators are mostly US 401k-style retirement tools and don't fit freelancers, hourly contractors, or cross-border earners.
Solution
Enter current hourly/salary rate, savings rate, expected spending and portfolio return, and get two dates: when you can coast and when you can fully retire. Also shows how changing jobs or taking a pay cut shifts those dates. Save scenarios as snapshots to compare life stages.

GlossX for Safari

Replace Chinese text on web pages with natural English for passive learning

Problem
A developer noticed that embedding English into Chinese web pages helps users passively absorb English. But the Safari version of a similar extension didn't exist, so he built his own. This suggests an unmet need on a specific browser with a user willing to code it themselves.
Solution
A Safari extension that replaces Chinese phrases on web pages with natural English translations, plus a word/sentence collection and review feature. It supports site whitelisting, difficulty tiers, and hover-to-see-original, letting users encounter English during natural reading.

Occasional LLM Pool

Pay-per-use access to top AI models for infrequent users

Problem
A user says his non-coding friends need top models only occasionally — a few times a month at most. Paying for a Plus subscription isn't worth it, so they're stuck with weaker models. Meanwhile, second-hand account trading for ChatGPT has its own code words, showing real demand with no legitimate low-frequency option.
Solution
A compliant API proxy layer that charges per use or per token, letting users access top models without a monthly subscription. It provides a simple web chat UI, prepaid balance, usage alerts, and targets individuals with occasional needs.

E2EReport

Automate browser interactions and generate visual test reports

Problem
A developer says his company requires front-end interaction test screenshots and API test reports before handing issues to QA. He uses Cursor + Chrome MCP to control the browser, but even simple scenarios take half an hour — most of it wasted on back-and-forth MCP-agent interactions.
Solution
A browser automation tool focused on generating visual test reports. Record human actions, then replay and screenshot automatically. It produces a report with step descriptions, timestamps, and assertion results, ready to paste into issue comments. Optimized to reduce repeated agent round-trips and support parameterized inputs.

VibeGuard

Catch design flaws in AI-generated code for non-programmers

Problem
A developer with coding experience watched a non-programmer friend try to vibe-code a product. The friend struggled with Python syntax and Git, then shifted to workflow design. The root issue: AI writes code fast but misses general abstractions, and non-programmers can't spot code that will cause problems later. Another poster jokes about building a vibe-coded app for zero users.
Solution
A lightweight review assistant that scans AI-generated code for common anti-patterns (hardcoding, duplicated logic, swallowed exceptions) and explains in plain language why each will hurt later, with concrete refactor suggestions. It also logs each AI change for easy rollback and comparison.

MedPDF Structurer

Turn chart-heavy professional PDFs into queryable structured knowledge

Problem
A developer trying to structure the Chinese medical textbook Internal Medicine found that after splitting by table of contents, he got stuck on parsing images, tables, and flowcharts. AI-generated parsing scripts kept failing. In medical texts these diagrams carry diagnostic logic that is lost if dropped.
Solution
Upload a PDF, automatically split by chapter, extract tables/flowcharts/diagrams as structured fields. Provide disease-centric knowledge card templates and export JSON/CSV for downstream training or retrieval. Mark unparseable diagrams for human review rather than silently dropping them.

BreakGlass Log – Audit Trail for Security Exceptions

Traceable expiry and approval records for CI/CD security exceptions
