Reddit r/SideProject "Not-AI Projects" Thread — Draft Comment

Target Thread

"Share your Not-AI projects" (595 upvotes, pinned) https://www.reddit.com/r/SideProject/comments/1oaq2kx/

Draft Comment

DonFlow — a browser-only budget planner that compares your plan vs. reality.

I kept building budget spreadsheets, then abandoning them 3 months later because updating them was tedious. DonFlow solves that specific loop: set a financial plan once, upload your bank/card exports, and it shows where reality drifts from your plan.

The key word is "plan vs. actual" — most budget apps just track what you spent (like a rearview mirror). DonFlow is more like a GPS that tells you when you're off course.

Proudly not-AI:

  • 100% browser-only (IndexedDB, zero network requests)
  • No signup, no account, no tracking
  • Open DevTools and verify — nothing phones home
  • Works offline after first load

Notes

  • Tone: genuine, not salesy. The thread explicitly invites self-promotion so it's OK to share.
  • Focus on the "not-AI" angle since that's the thread's theme.
  • "Open DevTools and verify" — this resonated on HN in similar threads.
  • Keep short — Reddit comments that are too long get skipped.
  • max approval needed before posting.
