Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
Why is react still considered a viable tech?
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.
DuckDB for stream processing:
https://github.com/turbolytics/sql-flow
Lightweight kafka stream processing using DuckDB as the execution engine. 300MiB runtime can easily handle thousands of messages / second.
Working on a Kafka Connect alternative:

Right now mongo replication (through changestreams) is supported to kafka. Working on Postgres support right now.
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.
MVP version at https://github.com/0tSystemsPublicRepos/IfritProxy
Working on: Offline Youtube playlist download manager. It uses YT-DLP to get all my music and then enriches artist/track metadata using MusicBrainz, AcoustID, Discogs, LastFM, Spotify. Runs as an offline webapp so I can browse and play music locally. Might play around with recommendations for fun later.
Happy to publish the repo if anyone else would find this useful.
It's fully typed. Works with vanilla JS, Vue, React, or just a script tag.
Got some feedback that it may not be the best UX-wise but let me know what you guys think!

After a 2-minute voice conversation, Sage generates a personalized 6-module roadmap with build-first projects. It checks in by voice, analyzes your reflections, and regenerates your plan if needed. You can invite friends to your Support Squad for accountability.
The biggest insight so far is people don’t want “infinite content.” They want structure and someone who remembers them.
would love feedback!
Right now my app allows users to export build metadata as JSON which can be interpreted by LLMs for analysis, but I'd like to have this work on-device.
Create a script for a product demo or tutorial for your app using an extension. The script is used to generate your product content in multiple formats (narrated video, interactive demo, looping animation, and in-app guide). Whenever your product changes, just update the script and regenerate everything. No manual re-recording of video, syncing of audio, or any other post-production steps.
