Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)
It's an MVP but perfectly usable. I needed features that I couldn't find anywhere else:
Parameter optimization with a genetic algorithm
Fuzzy optimization: randomly remove trades or whole markets and see what happens
Data mining: find rules how to exit trades sooner for better profit
Compare strategy results to random trading
Check current drawdown for statistical significance
Write trading systems in Java so I can test every idea under the sun and never be held back by some custom "scripting" language.
Of course, it's open-source. A GitHub star is much appreciated. Thanks!
You're probably looking for "showing it to me" or "making me aware of it" rather than "noticing it to me" as noticing is usually used like "I noticed thing x" or "You have been noticed"
Folks have reached out about having an 'In Loving Memory Of' site for their loved ones, so I'm turning this into a side business to help out more with my (now widowed) father's retirement and care.
I will note that I'm trying not to think of her death as a loss. It certainly is in many ways for grandkids and others who were just starting to get to know her. But for the rest of us, I like to think we have a part of our deceased loved ones with us that we now have the responsibility to cary forward.
Same as people saying things like "Don't say no one loves you, because I love you <3" but it's in a forum like this, or on Reddit. You don't know them. you don't love them.
Or did they just short circuit. "Dead relative -> Say sorry for your loss". Like an AI bot.
It's the second one.
I procrastinate on my plans to making it into true public-facing product. I can't make myself doing any marketing, have very vague monetization plans, miss some feature that people for some reason want a lot, and occasionally put crap into prod!
That said enjoy building it, learned a lot of backend stuff, felt in love with svelte, and, most important, me and my friends enjoy using it.
To balance enjoyment and pressure i'm trying have some small wins constantly, even if they are very low effort. For example current landing page was procrastinated for six month and built in 30 minutes. It's not fancy and good but it's better than 0!
The main use-cases I'm thinking of right now is triggering agents using email or a very simple document upload flow to any SaaS (just forward an email to the SaaS).
In the coming weeks we’ll also be launching linking and AI functionality to provide better context to AI and humans alike.
We’re launching today! https://launch.nanoapi.io
- LegalJoe: AI-powered contract reviews for startups, at the "tech demo" phase right now: https://www.legaljoe.ai/
- ClipMommy: A macOS tool to help (professionals who record a lot of videos | influencers) organize their raw video clips. Simply drag a folder of "disorganized" videos onto ClipMommy, and ClipMommy organizes the videos into folders / subfolders, adding tags, based upon some special statements that you can make at either the start or the end of your video (think audio-based "clapboard"). I'm expecting to release this within a week or two on the Mac App Store (Apple allowing...).
As an aside, I've been very impressed with Claude Code, it's (for me at least!) leading the way for how the next generation of business software might leverage AI. I plan to iterate on LegalJoe to make more "agentic" as a result of what I've seen is possible in Claude Code.
I would have liked to also provide a Google Doc plugin, but the Google Docs APIs [1] don't provide the required capabilities (specifically: a way to create tracked changes). Word's Add-In APIs [2] are also limited in some regards, but since they let you manipulate raw OOXML, you can work around those limitations for the most part.

I realized that a lot of the subscriptions I have would have been better treated as one time payment for 30 days access. Since, I often can go a few days between using it. So when the subscription expires, and it takes a few days until I use it next and decide to resubscribe, I would have saved a bit of days compared to being constantly subscribed.
It still very early development, and lots of features are missing, so wasn't sure I wanted to share it yet. It got very basic features for tracking subscriptions manually and getting reminders before renewals. Still, is testable at https://unsub.cash
I recently impulse bought an Epson receipt printer, and I’ve started putting together a server in Go to print a morning update every day. Getting it to print the weather, my calendar and todos, news headlines, HN front page. Basically everything I pick up my phone for in the morning, to be on paper rather than looking at a screen first thing. Very early days but hacking away and learning escpos/go! (Vibecoding a lot of it)
Can't focus on reading anymore? ThinkTotem transforms books into conversations so you stop re-reading the same paragraph 5 times.
Phones and social media rewired our brains for quick hits, making traditional reading feel impossible. ThinkTotem solves this by turning books into active conversations with questions, examples, and 'explain-it-back' prompts. Instead of fighting your modern attention span, we work with it.
Does anyone want to help me figure out how to successfully do outreach?
