A really cool iOS and Android screen recorder.
You can put your face on the screen in real time, record, stream, even annotate live, add text, draw, show touch indicators.
Pretty neat!
Here's what I _wish_ someone was working on, I'd build it myself but I'm too busy with other projects. A browser extension that's not a popup blocker but a popup minimizer. So any popup (newsletter, cookie notification, even social signin) gets sucked down into a Windows 95 style taskbar. You can restore them easily but they get out of your main browsing flow. Maybe start as a fork of one of the popup blockers?

I’m working on improving the apps I developed for iOS by adding new features and fixing the bugs: https://fruitfulapps.com/
Looking to experience life outside of software, but I don't know exactly what. In short, current filters are:
high total customer face to face time// high face to face time per customer// probably not in sales
as these are too abstract to map cleanly to traditional job board filters I’m scraping indeed and using deepseek to classify jobs according to this criteria, with an aim to discover really good jobs and then put a lot of effort into each of those jobs, like reaching out to hiring teams directly etc. works alright but worried coverage is an issue.
ps- can any one recommend a service or product that does this already? i should be able to set a city and then write my own filters like "this job involves dressing up like a crocodile" or "this job requires ballet dancer experience" and have each job posted in my city get assessed. maybe i get an email each day of matched and not matched jobs. i have tried to search myself but given there is so so so much slop in this space i find it very hard going. and most products do this just very poorly...

This month https://thingstohave.app, my calm and flexible wishlist app, reached a state I can call "feature complete". This iteration took two years of occasional work, so it's a big milestone for me. (I've posted updates on this app in previous threads)
Since the last update, I released everything that had been in testing since April, like gallery view, custom avatars, birthdays and, most importantly – autofill from link.
Now I'm preparing for a big launch – working on the landing page, SEO and onboarding experience. Here's what I've done so far:
1. I updated the landing page to actually tell users about the app and look presentable. I already see a big improvement in conversion
2. I added SEO crap to the landing page. This is painful for me, but sadly that's how Google Search works (it doesn't). It's paying off, too
3. I overhauled the onboarding experience, to make it smoother for new users
Two more features are still in testing; I plan to ship them before the release, but currently i'm not completely happy about them.
