Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)
It's designed to save organizers time and solve reg & timing problems I got tired of dealing with as a competitor.
Soon I'll be adding QR code support, so we can just scan a QR code on your helmet or car at lap (which helps handle multi driver cars etc).
I plan to rebrand it into other verticals later.
We are based in the SOMA neighborhood of SF and would love to help anyone with their hardware!!

My current tag line is "JS with guardrails, without footguns"
Uses transformers.js & WebGPU for running transcription, so it's pretty fast. It's still a bit rough around the edges, so I'm looking for feedback.
Got inspired by Go by Example [1] while learning Go. Realised there's nothing for Ruby like that and decided to build.
Goal is to have simple urls for one-click navigation for each topic where the page covers a single topic briefly with examples, with relevant links and historic artifacts (for example, it links to the "Programming with Nothing" talk in procs/lamdba page [3]).
It's still a work in progress and I'm not rushing it.
The examples are all my own. It's easy to do with AI, but I'm not going that way. I'm explaining things based on my own 12+ years of ruby experience.
Like GoByExample, this is also desktop only, but mobile-friendly is on the roadmap. The CSS also will change to be someting like RailsGuides. Might also add a video for each topic explaining the code.
