Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
I started it a couple of years ago as personal project to help me study for interviews. Back then, it was simple RSS feed aggregator of big tech companies engineering blogs.
Recently I expanded content library to technical conferences and indie blogs, and implemented semantic search in all the library (for example, you can semantic search by all Strange Loop videos archive).
Give it a try!
This version is a rewrite of an earlier one and I've added some cool convenience features like "now playing" and musicbrainz integration for remembering songs.
Spec, flow and most of the UI are done. I've managed to build an Android App yesterday and will publish source soon.

It has helped me a lot to keep focus while working and track distractions. It might be too tailored for my needs, but have a look: https://zookeeper.fyi
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.
It looks simple, but I learned a lot building this site:
* To calculate age in planetary years, I had to look up their orbit and rotation info
* The lunisolar calendar took me quite some time to figure out (it is not the same as a lunar calendar and even changes by country)
* Adding the dog and cat age equivalents even led me to cubic splines

It started when a friend who runs a studio showed me her system: printed calendars, WhatsApp messages from clients at midnight, and sticky notes for who paid. I'm trying to make something quieter. It should feel like an assistant, not another tool to manage.
Today, I am implementing tag-triggered webhooks so they can get triggered based on the tags assigned to messages.
Use case: for example, I want to auto-tweet all my advice messages and auto-create linear tasks for `company` todos, auto-start a cursor agent when I tag messages with `Cursor task`
For some reason, I got 16 users out of nowhere, so I added a landing page last week. The connector marketplace is next, so that I can share these sub-connectors with the other users. Need a couple more weekends.
Thanks to ChatGPT, my productivity went through the roof this year, and I finally shipped an MVP that might actually be useful.
It’s a standard Django + React + AWS stack. My raison d’être is to build an Apple Watch app that tracks match scores in real time. 2026 hopefully.
