Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)
You can create patterns, play those patterns on a specific beats, add melodies(HTML tables of notes!) with lyrics, add chord changes to determine how the patterns are played, etc.
It's meant to be CAD-like, so you're working as high level as possible, not looking at some raw notes and having to go look up what chord it is every five seconds.
There's plenty of features that don't exist but look like they do, but it does work.
I'm happy to say I'm no longer stuck on endless little business logic decisions. Now I'm mostly stuck on essentially creating a (more) complicated google calendar interface. (React + MUI) I stopped work when everything was still wonky but i could quickly make appointments on the fly with it. A few days ago when trying to wrap my head around my own code i kind of regretted that decision. It's a bit more complex of a UI piece than what i've tried my hand at before and my current holdup is (re-)implementing proper drag & drop to edit appointments after i rewrote a piece of the underlying stuff.

The focus is on providing a better experience: faster, with smoother interactions, with higher information density and a lot more focused on your daily work (with features such as bookmarks and drafts).
It's web-based but there will be also desktop apps (thanks to tauri) that will integrate with your local git.
If you start using it and want to ask for feature requests or notify bug reports please go to the discord server: https://discord.gg/RHCJvUSbr5 Thanks!!
Why I think it's good: deferred deep linking has become an also-ran feature for MMPs whose primary focus is tracking users and advertising.
It's so bad that I can't even open deep links for Tiktok on my home network, because onelink links are blocked by adguard.
So that's why I built DLN. It's brand new and open for beta testing, I'd love some feedback and feature requests + to know how people use deferred deep linking.
1. Support on-device RAG to allow chatting with your own documents on mobile offline 2. Support MCP on-device, taking advantage of information that’s (only) available on your phone, like calendar events, health data, etc. These shouldn’t need to be anywhere but on-device. 3. Allow on-device AI to use shortcuts(?)
I think most of the functionality are well served on desktop front with Ollama and LM Studio, but moving these functionality to mobile offers a great learning opportunity.
