Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
Hoping to actually take this one to something polished as opposed to the many half-finished prototypes littering my git repo over the years. I've discovered (always knew?) that heavily cutting scope is the best way, and been successful thus far.
It gets pretty boring/unbalanced by ~150 turns, but I have some ideas on how to fix. I'm still playing with ways to help de-clutter the board and make use of the economy aspects.

It's an instant remote control built for shared spaces. Anyone can use the remote with a QR code on their mobile device. Since its IoT there are lots of interesting features including permissions, various remote interfaces, universal remote capabilities and more.
Currently packaging as a windows desktop app, recording a demo video, and then distributing
Think n8n, but you bring your own code and optionally even your hardware to execute pipelines.
OAuth is here to stay for major email providers (Outlook, Gmail, etc). Microsoft is dropping support for standard/basic authorization in April 2026, and Google has already done this. But plenty of devices and systems don't (and may never) support OAuth.
Auth-Email is a relay that lets you continue using traditional email auth methods even when your provider requires OAuth. Lots of other more advanced features too: all OAuth grant types, add-ins to modify behavior and lots more.
It handles the complexities of parsing OpenAPI and rendering output code, while providing the end user with full control over generator code via string templates.
Imagine something like React but for code generation where each code generator can compose its own output using the outputs of other generators.
