Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)

What are you working on? Any new ideas that you're thinking about?

For several years now, my free (programming) time goes into experimenting and making a REBOL based language:

https://ryelang.org

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'm building an amateur radio logging tool. Yes, there's a million out there, but I wanted one specifically for hunting Parks on the Air and Summits on the Air activators:

I've also built a tool in Rust for munging ADI (amateur radio contact logging) files:

After being laid off, it's given me lots of time to play on the radio :-/

I'm working on a AI automation tool to updates docs at with every git commit.

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:

I'm working on a VSCode extension that lets me quickly copy code from a workspace into a structured format for LLMs. This makes it easy to provide context so the LLM can continue developing the codebase.

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.

I am currently testing the hypothesis that RAG can reduce the likelihood of LLM hallucination when it comes to software architecture (existing or proposed enhancements or tech debt reduction) of complex systems. To that end, I recently launched a web spa https://www.exploravention.com/AskArchitect/ where you can ask the software architect questions about various popular open source projects. I hope that you participate in this experiment.

This is probably one of the most redundant project out there, but a RSS reader app designed with Tauri, Sveltekit, Tailwind. I wanted to build this to stay in sync with product development as I don't get to do this a lot in my day-to-day job. I also want to build a game, but it is so much effort. I do wish to pursue it in near future.

This month I've been working on automating the data collection and processing for my property research website [0]. I'm testing out DuckDB to process geospatial data, and so far the process has been quite pleasant.

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).

I am working with a colleague of mine on Handout Generator (https://handouts.cthulhuarchitect.com) which is a website you can use to create fake documents and handouts to be used in different TTRPG, especially investigative ones like Call of Cthulhu.

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.

Low cost monocular headset display for rugged outdoor use (cycling, sailing, err golf). Idea is your phone sends low bandwidth data to the display for handsfree info, so more simple data display than xR.

I'm working on a tool specifically for viewing log files, it started when I wanted to open logcat files and have filtering but I couldn't really do that with a lightweight tool, Wireshark works well and I found a cool tool called lognote. so I started making my own, and I wanted to display things different ways and make it easy to add features. it's still a work in progress but I'm proud of it so far

You should also be proud of the name!
