Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
There have been a few astrology apps, but all require you to connect with an astrologer or a pandit. This market has been in past and today, a market of exploitation for the innocent.
So, I built this app to let people read their birth chart with detailed analysis, without any such thugs. There are a few very talented experts, but they are either very expensive or difficult to find. So, it came out of necessity.
I would love your feedback on trying it out and letting me know your thoughts.
Cheers

I discovered that I have a few 10/20$ subscriptions (grammarly, raycast, wisperflow) that do embarrassingly simple stuff I can one shot with cheap SLM. So I decided to build a one app specialized in small repetitive tasks on computer.
An Intent is a self-contained document that describes a user request. It is composed of three main sections: WHY (the motivation), WHAT (the requirements, often in Gherkin language), and HOW (a detailed, step-by-step implementation plan defined with tasks). This approach ensures clarity and alignment before any code is written.
You take a selfie, pick document type (China Visa online, Green Card lottery, etc) and the tool knows what size it should be, head height, shoulders position and other requirements. AI is used to detect head position, emotions, objects and other details to provide better recommendations

Most (meta)science discussion is either fragmented on Twitter/Bsky, or a bit too formal. I thought a centralised place for deeper, casual discussions might be helpful, so I'm testing that theory.
Launched a few days ago, so it might have some rough edges. I'm considering making it user-invite-only soon, but for now it's fully open for signup. I'll also move it to its own domain once I think of a better name.
When someone tries to hack your app, it detects them and serves up fake responses designed to make them think they're getting somewhere.
The system learns from attackers behavior and serves ai generated decoys to waste their time and frustrate their efforts.
It's basically a trap that gets smarter the more attackers poke at it.

Also learning Zig. Would be cool (but a huge effort) to port Delphi’s VCL or Lazarus’s LCL to Zig and create a RAD environment.
I have looked for an app that could give me exactly this for a long time but i couldn't find one i liked, so i made my own.
