Ask HN: What are you working on? (March 2025)
FPV drone production
Also making a customizable self-tracking app that can be used as a habit tracker, health log, journal or similar. Goal is to make daily manual entries efficient and worthwhile. It will be local first and without an annoying subscription.
If anyone is personally interested in it or knows someone who could profit from something like this (e.g. because of their health condition) contact me please. Looking for testers and feedback to make it useful for people of various backgrounds and health conditions.
I’m rebuilding a learning library. Webpage bookmarks (with big help from raindrop.io), PDFs (hundreds of them, mostly book chapters), images, jupyter notebooks, markdowns, etc. using a Jekyll static site generator to minimize the tech stack hairballs.
The interesting part is that nearly all of the content is tagged to associate with two or more domains ex:
Goodreads-history-truecrime
PyTorch-Jupyter
Rubyonrails-Testing
Behavior-Gaslighting
Semiconductors-GPUs
And so on.
It’s an exercise in taxonomy creation. Searching by tag doesn’t quite get it. And we all know PDF auto summaries are tough.
I’m not expecting anybody to be impressed. It keeps me occupied while learning how to be (unfortunately) retired.
