Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
I wanted to visualize all my walks and runs on a single map. I built a native iOS app that fetches Apple Health and Strava workouts and visualizes them. Privacy was a major factor in building the app, so all the data stays on the device. Next version will have a time-lapse video option. Any feedback welcome.
I'm open to any feedback.
There is a PowerToy thingy that's similar but it's full of options and command-line flags. My version has no options, it's just a tray utility that can be toggled on (green) or off (orange) with double-click. There are also physical mouse jigglers but they're cumbersome, and many have visible mouse movements, which is extremely annoying (not all of them do this but many do!)
The full install file is just 100Kb, works on all versions of Windows starting with Win7, installs without admin rights. Can't live without it!
I need to make a website for it but I'm procrastinating on that one last step...
There's an agent monitor which intercepts requests either using a LLM proxy or hooks, that gives you full telemetry into the agents + MCPs used. And a MCP gateway that enables centralized deployment and securing of MCP.

How?
I'm a prolific reader but outside of short fiction I can manage maybe 4 a month.
How long would technical books take you to complete, say you have to read Effective Java 3rd Edition
As for non fiction, I read "Anarchist Communism" (fairly short) in a week, "Delivered from Distraction" in a month, "Masters of Doom" in about 2 weeks.
It depends on my interest more than anything. I obliterated the entire Robin Hobb "Assassin's" series, 12 books, in just about two months.
The trick is to always keep the book queue filled, so long books that take a while coexist for a while with a number of shorter length ones
It's been going well for a side project and now I'm thinking of expanding to have a directory of urbanists on a map so you can easily find people involved in the local discourse and how to get involved.
You need to know "does this guy look hurt"? The enemy HP bar can be set to either an actual percentage, or set to have cracks in the bar to signify a range of damage. Does only person take notes? Personal notes are shareable and there's a section for community notes. Do you have enough perception to notice a hidden door? The UI can be set to go off passive perception and give you those notifications automatically.
It's still in early alpha testing with friends, but it should eliminate general GM pain points to encourage more groups to form.
It's a need I have for myself and the teams I run – It offers direct PR's, 360º reviews, recording of wins and lessons (something often overlooked), and aims to be a platform for team and individualised growth, that is accessible to small and large businesses alike.

The main use case we designed for was language learning, particularly having a conversational partner -- generally we've found that adding a face to the voice really helps trigger the fight or flight response, which we've found to be the hardest part of speaking a new language with confidence.
But in building out the system around the model to enable that use case (tool use on a canvas for speaking prompts and images, memory to make conversations less stale, etc.), we think there's potential for other use cases too.
