weekend project to capture user tests from friends
I've been working some software to make capturing feedback cheap and easy. I think it can be much less expensive if we put our friends and family to use.

I built a 1‑dollar feedback tool as a Sunday side projectDec 2025 · onedollarfeedback.com · ▲21I’ve always found it funny how simple feedback widgets end up as $20–$30/month products. The tech is dead simple, infra is cheap, and most of us here could rebuild one in a weekend. So as a “principle experiment” I built my own today as a side project and priced it at 1 dollar. Just because if something is cheap to run and easy to replicate, it should be priced accordingly, and it’s also fun marketing. 1$ feedback tool. Shipped today, got the first users/moneys today, writing this post today. Side Sunday project, then back to the main product tomorrow.

For years, I have struggled to understand my cash flow and save for the future. In addition to that, my wife has many credit cards and accounts that complicate matters. I am building a tool that connects all our accounts, helps us create a budget, and tracks and adjusts expenses on the fly. I am also sprinkling some AI magic on it for financial suggestions. I am looking for feedback on the implementation. More importantly, I am looking for more beta testers to improve the product.
YoRecord2025 · yorecord.com · ▲7Hey HN, I’m a PM who just wants to show teammates where things break / give feedback without paying $15–$30/month for Loom, Tella, or Screen.studio. Most of the time all I need is: click record, talk, hand over a link. So I built YoRecord.com for two simple reasons: 1. Save time—no installs, no Google-OAuth dance 2. Save money—recordings are free, HD, and downloadable in one click. Open the site, pick a tab or your whole desktop, talk through the issue, hit Stop. Now you can already get a link for sharing, this will upload the recording to cloud. Or you can download as MP4 - in…

http://imagestash.org/ Kind of like Instapaper for images. While surfing at home one evening I found the perfect desktop background ... for my work machine. I got to pondering the quickest way to save a random image so I could get to it on all of my devices, got a wee bit carried away with the technical possibilities, and this was the result. Any feedback would be appreciated. Thanks!
Review my weekend project: Meetings, a web-based chat & file share app2011 · getmeetingsapp.com · ▲9Link to test: http://getmeetingsapp.com Basically it is a web-based chat application, with private and public rooms and real-time file sharing. It is currently in a half-arsed situation so needs lot of work but wanted to get some feedback from you. Thanks PS. I created a public room for feature requests, just in case: http://getmeetingsapp.com/rooms/4e7f64ea17ade37b71000002
I made Echo, a interview coach for iOS2024 · apps.apple.com · ▲7This is the first version of an app idea I had last month as a way to dip my toes into some of the AI APIs. The idea is you can record yourself answering and rehearsing what you'll say to common interview questions, and receive AI feedback on how you did and how you can improve. In the future I may expand into other subject areas, but wanted to scope it to the behavioral interview format for the time being. Super open to feedback and suggestions!
