- MightyCog — Lists small mechanical builds with part count, difficulty and build time, and offers guides with parts overviews and building steps.“What do you check first when choosing a mechanical build: parts, difficulty, or build time?”
- Roast My Build — Takes a pasted PC parts list and generates a comedic grade and roast card that can be saved or copied as an image.“Roast My Build - paste your PC parts, get a comedy grade and a roast card”
- MightyCog — Provides a browser-based step-by-step guide for assembling small mechanical models.“I made a 13-part assembly guide — can you find the parts and first step?”
- WireBench 2D — Simulates a 2D electrical wiring bench where users connect terminals and watch contactors and indicator lamps respond to switches and buttons.“I’m building a virtual version of the wiring bench we use in college”
- Instant Ruler — Turns a phone, tablet, or desktop screen into a calibrated 1:1 scale ruler with protractor, image measuring, and scale conversion tools.“I made an online ruler called instant ruler.”
- Stencil It — Automatically adds bridges to stencil designs to prevent floating islands before cutting.“I built Stencil It with an actual Auto bridging system based on an Algorithm (NOT AI) to catch floating islands before a stencil gets cut. Try it out.”
- Cirkitra — Generates editable Arduino schematics, wiring, and code from a text prompt and simulates supported components in the browser.“I built Cirkitra, an AI tool for designing and simulating Arduino circuits”
- Vinstra Flow — Lets window and door factories draw a product, pick a profile system, and generate a priced quote plus bill of materials, cut sheet and work order from the same drawing.“Everyone's building AI wrappers. I built software for window and door factories instead”
- Whyneering — Explains the engineering behind everyday design choices through narrated visual videos.“I made a visual explainer about why airplane windows aren't square”
- Brickster — Manages LEGO collections, finds which sets can be built from owned parts, compares buying options, and renders 3D builds with collision awareness.“LEGO rendering that's not just a demo”
- 3DPCC — Calculates production costs and manages production workflow for 3D print shops.“My planned migration window was 7 hours, and 5 of them went to data scripts, not to deploying code”
- Cadyon — Views DWG, STEP, IGES and STL CAD files in the browser and converts DWG solids to STEP on Windows.“Free 3D DWG viewer/converter - browser based”
- repath — Simulates analog and digital circuits together in a browser-based schematic editor and shows voltages and currents on wires.“I built a circuit simulator that runs entirely in your browser — analog and digital in the same schematic”
- Vectoria Civil — Lets an AI agent make geometry changes to a civil road project, such as adding an alignment and a roundabout, from a written request.“I'm building a civil-engineering CAD app with an AI agent — here's a roundabout request in action”
- Local AI engineering workbench — Runs CAD, meshing, stress, motion and video tools locally and uses a small orchestrating language model to coordinate them and check AI output against solver results.“Local Ai for engineering”
- Homedraft — Lets users sketch a home plan in 2D and 3D, design custom cabinets and wardrobes, and export PDF drawings and CSV cut lists, with all data stored only in the browser.“Homedraft - home planner”
- standingdesk.cl — Calculates a starting desk height range for sitting or standing based on the user's height.“built a simple desk height calculator”
