24 alternatives to My Weekend Project, Satismetrics. What makes you happy?
I initially started Satismetrics to solve a problem I had, and I’d like to find out if others could also benefit from a product/service like this: http://satismetrics.com Short Version: send your happiness as a score by email (comments optional) whenever you like, data collected for you to analyse. Long Version (with background): My happiness fluctuates massively week-by-week; sometimes it’s silly little things that can make me unhappy for days, and sometimes when I get in the office and I’m happy, I forget what made me happy in the first place! I started writing down what made me happy, or…

Mood▲97Hey HN, I've had this idea stuck in my head ever since I published Year in Pixels [1]. I've been adding a little thing here and there to this app, and now it feels nice enough to share. It's very interesting what daily tracking does to one's mind. While I already have apps to track everything else like sleep, heart rate, etc., I was still missing something to track my mood. The simple act of thinking about how you feel a couple of times a day already changes things. A moment of reflection. I opted to add Astrology, Checks (habits), and other goodies. Hope you like it as much as I do. Best,…

The feedback I've had for it so far is mind blowing "I love it" "Oddly satisfying" "Satisfying" "Can't stop playing with this" "Nice" "You're crazy, well shipped" "Highly therapising process 10/10 would recommend!" "10/10 Internet" "Popped a few.. I feel happy now" "Gosh darn it. I feel better now." "Good app to end the day" "My work progress is wrecked from now on" "I will make it my routine to pop these at the end of each work day" ... and more! I submitted a form somewhere once and they showed me a confetti. Made me feel good. But to see it again I'd have to keep resubmitting…

Hi HN, I’ve struggled with anxiety and procrastination for most of my life, feeling overwhelmed and stuck in cycles of stress. A few weeks ago, I decided to channel this experience into something meaningful: TheInnerAlien.co. It’s a platform designed to help people like me manage anxiety and time overwhelm through structured tools, personalized systems, and a supportive community. It’s still early, but I’m excited to share it and hear what you think. Here’s the link: http://www.theinneralien.co I’d love your feedback or ideas on how to improve it. Thanks for taking a look!

Hello HN, last week, I stumbled over an old project of mine called Click The Number. I built it about six years ago to compare my clicking and reaction speed with that of my friends. The idea is simple – just click on the numbers in orders as fast as possible. I couldn't resist and rebuilt a lot of parts again, making them a bit nicer. I updated the design and added some features like a personal high score. It lets you keep track of your own best time (which makes it ever so _slightly_ more addictive). I'm curious what you think about it, and if you have any ideas where I could take it. Have…

I've just published my app and I would love to have more feedback on it. I got the idea when I was busy moving around several projects during my last semester. And I always don't know which project I should work on next. Even worse, whenever I'm busy with something, I no longer have time to "read book", "go jogging" etc. That's when I thought it would be great if there is an app that keeps track of all the tasks that you want to do and habits that you want to make. And here it is! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sKVr0k9Hax0…

Hello there! I hope you're doing well today! I wanted to share something with you. Recently I was on the hunt for the best way to journal daily. Well, I had this idea - what if I could feed all my daily entries to an AI (ChatGPT), and create a friendly, supportive character like Socrates or Simon Sinek? This way, I could ask any questions about my life and mental health, and get some amazing advice on how to improve myself! The results have been absolutely mind-blowing ! I even made a short GIF to show you how it works - check it out! - https://gifyu.com/image/SdHLH I've…

Just Mooding▲14I wanted to go through every stage of launching a product, so I built a simple site that lets you discover and bookmark songs, books, movies, and food based on your mood. It has no fancy AI features, it's more like a lightweight, mood based Pinterest. I’m a developer and I built the whole thing using Cursor using an imperative approach instead of vibe coding declaratively. So even though the product itself is pretty minimal, the backend is well structured and it should give me the ability to implement future pivots fairly easily. It was mainly a learning exercise but I'd love to hear…

Feel▲13To fellow dreamers & doers - I'm happy to share a big part of what I'd been tinkering with/thinking about for some time. In a world dominated by perfect curated lives, we created Feel, a text & audio, space to capture life as it truly is. A cozy and private corner to chronicle memories and explore ideas, make plans, capture the moments and feelings, or simply a way to come back home every day. Here is the new social, to help you ponder what really matters to you. Not open for prime time yet,but would love to hear your suggestions and thoughts welcome. A fellow traveller

Check out my (sort-of) weekend project . . . And by weekend project, I mean something that I thought sounded like a small idea that I could throw together over one or two weekends, but ended up taking over six months. This is a bit of a long submission, but after lurking on HN for the last few years, I thought this might be a chance to contribute something back. I’m just going to briefly discuss why my “weekend project” took so long, and how I got where I am. The url is http://dudmail.com - it's a disposable email site. Similar in intention/scope to the many existing ones out there, but…

Moodlogger is an iPhone app that lets you log your mood at any given time. The idea is to be able to share it with others and to generate statistics for users, showing how often they are [happy,angry,sad,etc.]. It was a fun exercise for me to build so I thought I'd share my (dev) experiences with you.

UpBeat▲6Hey everyone, I'm Sean, and I've built UpBeat. Why did I build this? Well, the world is more complex than ever, and every stream, device and social feed screams for our attention whilst telling us that everything is awful. While it's important to know what's going on in the world - do we really need to be bombarded with negativity 24/7? Absolutely not! It's bad for our mental health, it's bad for our attention spans, and it's bad for society as a whole. So that's why I built UpBeat - My friends, loved ones, and I needed a break from the doom cycle. So, here it is :) Some technical…

Gradient▲6Hi HN, just launched this last night before NYE. Wanted to make something super simple for tracking how my day goes on 2026. My sister has been using this to help her with her DBT therapy, so I hope this will be helpful for people who looks to understand how their year goes. Feedbacks or feature requests are most welcome :)

I just built a website that lets users track the thanks they gave and received. It's a spare time project that I built for myself so it may contain bugs. It uses Facebook login because I didn't want to code a complete login system just for a weekend project. Let me know what do you think about it! http://thank.st

I’ve always been amazed by how short life is. But the thing is, it’s so easy to get caught up in the day-to-day — work, deadlines, chores — and forget that time is quietly slipping by. So I built this little thing. It shows your life in weeks — how many you’ve lived, and how many (roughly) you might have left. For me, it’s a daily reminder to zoom out, reflect on my choices, and not take time for granted. I’d had this idea in my head for ages and finally managed to build it (I’m not a technical person at all, so the app is really in the early stage) Hope it’s helpful to someone out there :)…

Hey HN, I recently built whatstype.org , a free personality test website that helps people explore their thinking, communication, and relationship patterns. Unlike most MBTI-style sites that only give you a short label, Whatstype digs deeper: The test adapts to your responses dynamically Results are structured around reasoning style, emotional pattern, and social interaction Each of the 16 personality types includes detailed analysis, strengths, challenges, and real-life advice No login, no tracking — everything runs client-side I built it because I was frustrated with the typical “clickbait…
