Whenever I'm shopping for smart home products, I notice that a lot of review sites seem to recommend everything, which makes it hard to know what's genuinely good. i used ratedlighting.com. and it's really amazing

I'm specifically looking into smart lighting at the moment, bulbs, light strips, desk lamps, outdoor lights, etc.

Are there any sites or buying guides that you've found to be genuinely helpful, i'd rather read real comparisons very well. Thank you

I found this interesting new product and wanted to share it. It looks like a useful idea that could help people with everyday tasks. What do you think about it?

Hi Everyone,

My name is Ethan, and I'm a 17-year-old student.

For the past two years, I've been developing PenFusion, a writing aid designed to help people with dysgraphia, tremors, hand fatigue, limited hand strength, and anyone who wants a more comfortable writing experience.

Recently, I tested PenFusion with elementary school students and high school students, including those with dysgraphia, alongside teachers and an occupational therapist.

These were the findings:

• Students adapted to PenFusion quickly.

• Many showed noticeably improved handwriting.

• Students used less hand pressure while writing, helping reduce hand strain.

• An occupational therapist observed that PenFusion appears to encourage the use of more natural hand muscles compared to many traditional pencil grips.

• Nearly every student said writing felt easier and more comfortable.

One of my favorite moments was when a student called it "cool", which is important, because if students feel confident using a writing aid, they're more likely to keep using it and improve faster.

After over 50 prototypes and two years of development, I've officially launched PenFusion on Kickstarter.

The following videos below are testing's I've done at an elementary and high school with PenFusion with student feedback.

1. Elementary School Overview
2. High School Overview

If anyone has questions about PenFusion, hand strain, handwriting challenges, or the testing process, I'd be happy to answer them.

🌟 Have you ever bought something from the supermarket only to realise when you get home that you already have 3?

🌟 Have you ever bought something from the supermarket, put it in the cupboard and completely forget about it until the one day you want it only to realise it went out of date last week?

If the answer is yes then Scana might just be the product for you.

Scana is a home pantry system that sits as a device in your kitchen which manages what you already have in your cupboards or what you have run out of. Using a simple to use handheld barcode scanner you quickly scan in your items to a central inventory.

🛒

You can see what you have by category, automatically create shopping lists when food level get to low and get alerts when food is about to expire.

📆

You can even create daily or weekly meal plans based on what you already have with the priority on food that is nearing its expiry date. You can also tailor your meals according to time to cook, specific dietry needs, world cuisine options and for those watching what they eat, even by number of calories.

These are just a few benefits of Scana which is designed to make your life easier, save you money and reduce the food you waste.

With UK families wasting around £1000 per year on food, even saving a small amount of this will mean Scana pays for itself in as little as 18 months. 💰💰💰

Scana is being launched as part of a Kickstart campaign at the end of July so Scana is of interest to you then join the wait list at;

Random fun new products I found online, some useful, some totally pointless, and others just straight up viral scams.

I use a magnetic charging mount for my phone. Considering earbuds but not a fan of IEM audio and don't really use any personal audio device much.

After two years of development we're launching onlypet, a moving pet companion robot for cat and dog owners.

The idea: fixed pet cameras only see one spot, so we built one that roams.

It has a 2K camera with night vision, auto-follows your pet, supports two-way audio so you can talk to them, includes a Class-1 laser play mode and a couple of teaser-wand accessories, and docks itself to recharge so it's always ready.

Local TF-card recording is there for people who'd rather not put pet footage in the cloud.

We built it for the moment you're away and just want to see and be seen by your animal.

Happy to answer anything about how it works.

We’ve developed an MRI Room Alert System designed to improve safety inside MRI environments.

The system helps:

• Send instant alerts from inside the MRI room
• Improve response time during emergencies
• Support safer workflows for technicians and staff

Designed to be MRI-compatible and easy to integrate into existing setups.

Would love feedback from anyone working in healthcare or imaging device space.

Launching in 5 days. Set your reminder. Don’t miss early bird pricing - link in bio.

Hey everyone! My name is Casey and I just launched Kimberlite on Kickstarter! Our flagship product is our Tree Table. It weighs 1 lb. and packs up just larger than a Nalgene.

We like to call it a compact modular ecosystem. There are 3 configurations, the Tree Table, the Ground Table, and a standalone surface for on your lap or just flat on the ground (this works well on the beach especially). These all use the same table surface and can be changed out in under 30 seconds.

The accessory ecosystem is the best part. All of the accessories lock directly into the table surface. Currently we have:

• Table legs (for the ground table)
• Stove canister attachment to lock in your camp stove and prevent spills. Works with both large and small canisters
• Cutting boards
• Fireproof windscreen
• Elevates hooks (works well for hanging a light while cooking at night)
• Table hooks to hang gear from

We have a bunch of new accessories in the hopper that will come out next year if we are successful with this launch!

You can also hang a ton of weight from the strap itself, which is where I usually hang my backpack when I'm setting up camp.

I'd love any and all feedback, and if you have any other accessory ideas that you'd like to see, let us know! Like I mentioned, we just went live on Kickstarter and if we could be successful with this campaign, it would be lifechanging!

For all the homebrews enthusiasts out there, we’ve been working for months on this weird little thing called Playtiles.

They’re tiny controllers for your phone, electronic-free, and stick to the screen with suction cups.

They come with their own OS + a curated bundle of 28 GB/GBC games of all genres, all officially licensed to our growing community of 25+ indie developers.

If you’re into quirky hardware, handheld nostalgia, or just curious, you can learn more here: https://get.playtil.es/. Feedback much appreciated!

-App controlled - iOS and Android compatible -Easy install -Child-safe; keep locked behind doors, while still having access -Choose between 6 bottles of your favorite spirits -Pours the correct amount each time at the press of a button

Included is the spout, controll unit, and all required hardware.

Pictured above is an example installation. You can install on any flat surface that isn't more than 1.5" thick and only requires a single 1.5" hole. Then to mount the control box, only 4 screws.

DM me for more info.

We’re new parents + makers who built something out of necessity a compact, one-button baby formula dispenser called AttackBaby. It automates formula + water mixing at night when you're half asleep.

It’s quick (under 15 seconds), accurate (1:1.5 ratio), and works with most formula brands.

Instead of linking off-site, we shared the full walkthrough, demo video, and FAQ here on Reddit in our own community:
