Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
I'm working on a man in the middle proxy for BGP, which can fix and inspect routing sessions on the fly. Like a firewall for the BGP control plane.
Now I'm working on a few changes to the app, most notable is moving any plants marked as 'for sale' out from the main section because it turns out people are more greedy than I anticipated and it's getting in the way of sharing the free stuff, cuttings etc.
There's also some demand for a web front end so I might work on that next. (currently only android and ios)
I had an initial boom of downloads in South Africa but lately most new downloads are in USA.

I started the project when ChatGPT 4 was first released, using it as a way to explore what LLMs could actually do. I also find working on it very relaxing, there is something cool about uncovering secrets hidden in code for more than twenty years.

Offline first, everything is saved to Local Storage. Sharing is also purely serverless - the ABC text and the video chapter defs are shared via query parameters after compression and base64 encoding.
Tech: React, Material UI, ToneJS, ABCJS, CloudFlare (Pages, Workers, D1 Storage)
Next: Add an AI assistant to the ABC editor - editing ABC text gets painful fast.
Idea came from one of my clients, where they wanted to use AI agents throughout the organization but at that moment there was no centralized governance or security concepts. This pulls everything at one place and tries to solve the security concept with per-user credentials, which can be provided out-of-band through the MCP protocol (generated a one-time link end-user can use to sign in to the underlying MCP server with OAuth or provide API key)

(work in progress prototype, design is not final)
Intentionally made simple and centered around plain text files and editing speed. I've spent a week on the prototype, now it's good enough to dog-food. Would like to eventually distribute it as a multi-platform app.
I should be able to do it with my various personal apps, but one app I've written, was done in concert with a professional graphic designer, and he is not happy with LG, so I expect that app to be a pain.
