Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)
March was quite productive:
* there was major (somewhat breaking) upgrade to the language
* We have a working web (wasm) console again
* full binary builds with some improvements for Windows that before didn't get much attention.
* full function reference with unit tests should arrive soon
I try to post about what I'm working on on Rye's reddit group:

I've also built a tool in Rust for munging ADI (amateur radio contact logging) files:
https://gitlab.com/harford/adifsurgeon
After being laid off, it's given me lots of time to play on the radio :-/
The tool just does one thing "Keeps your docs upadated always"
Why am I trying to solve this?
I have dealt with the pain of keeping the docs updated. It is mundane and boring at times. so I wanted to check if the pain is universal.
I need the fourm's help to solve this, please take 30 seconds to fill this survery that will help me with some cricital insights around this problem:

happy to help you in any way possible in return
There are other similar tools out there—mostly web apps or CLI-based—but I found a VSCode extension to be the fastest and most convenient option for VSCode users.
Here’s the extension link: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=H337.c2p
I'd love to get any feedback.

As long as you don't need many advanced spatial functions (where PostGIS shines), and you make sure to minimize the use of GDAL to perform operations, it parallelizes processing quite nicely (most queries on large datasets saturate as many cores as you throw at it).
It is going pretty well, already 17k users signed up. There are many people using it daily which give me the motivation to continue working on this.
I just wish I had more time to spend on this instead of the boring CRUD app I work on for living.
