Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)
The app will use genai to extract the details of houses listed for sale and then update my custom database.
For example I can input a youtube url and it will fetch the transcript and use llm to generate Json response based on predefined schema.
I can review and shortlist the houses based on various custom parameters using the web interface.
The mvp is done in a proprietary tech stack, I just need to port it to open source tech stack with React and FastAPI
It's an addon that allows one to modify any web page behavior. You can write rules for things like redirecting reddit to old reddit or keeping youtube videos playing in the background.
It's like Tampermonkey/Greasemonkey/etc but it works on HTTP request level and can modify scripts/styles/markup before they are ever rendered making it considerably more powerful.
Currently it only works on Firefox (and Firefox Mobile) because it's the only browser that supports the necessary APIs. It's seen its first release already but the UI is a bit lacking :)

Here's a recent example of whats possible from one of our users [1], and a recent project I made for fun that you can try on your iOS [2] or Meta Quest [3] device.

Is has helped me to address all of my problems, from mental health to productivity to learning across all domains like economics, writing, coding, marketing.
Writing daily blog posts, and then piecing together everything into the book. https://www.moderncynicism.com/
Now I'm learning AI/LLMs from the perspective of correctness. So far I have two 'maxims' to guide me:
- AI shines where humans struggle (for prompt engineering)
- An LLM is nothing but an API call (for software engineering with AI)
Currently heavily WIP though and only has a working Go compile/test backend (Go seems particularly easy for smaller LLMs like o3-mini to work with due to being a relatively non-complex language).

Clearly all of the info space is getting ever more polluted and I just don’t trust anyone else (with their own agenda) to manage and filter that for me. If one is to abdicate that sort of responsibility to a system wholesale then I think it has to be fully under one’s control, own data, own design, self hosted etc
The final plugin is an equalizer which will be focused on loudness but expand the filtering to include more advanced equal loudness contours.
