Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
The project has been a huge learning curve for me - I started out as a skeptic of how generative AI could solve real problems (rather than just create noise) but now think that, like the internet, it can create a new kind of abundance that will be harnessable in all sorts of interesting ways.
Already have been told by some users that the interview prep they got from it has correctly predicted several of the actual interview questions they got, crediting its prep for their breezing through the interview rounds.
I'm really hoping it helps a lot of people!
I've dedicated this week to some maintenance tasks that are long overdue (mainly modernization of the code and the database), kinda delaying the inevitable (which is to work on harder tasks in my todo - like adding features to the mobile apps).

I like the ability to declare UIs and the layout manager that Sierra has is the only sane layout manager for Swing I have worked with
As simple to use as a notes app, with clever culinary capabilities :)
I noticed that the SVN CLI workflow is a bit dated and I think there's room to create a graphite like experience for svn, especially focusing on stacking.
I am set out to: - create a modern CLI to interact with SVN
- create a subsystem to run alongside the svn repo (similar to gitaly)
- create a good looking web UI to browser the repo, review code reviews, etc
The hope is that I can bring more procedural workflows to graphic design so you can make generative branding systems and parametric identities
(or just make sick posters)

Every hour, new Queens Puzzle (LinkedIn style) is available to play. No leaderboard, no stats, nothing to buy, just pure play. Every user gets the exact same puzzle to solve for that UTC hour.
I would love to get some feedback from the community!
I really liked the concept of games like cards against humanity, quiplash, whose line is it anyway etc. However, there was no virtual way to play it with a group of friends. Quiplash required steam setup (which was not possible on my corporate mac). So i built this as an alternate to build upon the formula.
[still in alpha phase so lots and lots of bugs]
But a lot of what I work on is my classes giving me less time to open source nowadays, but I have also worked in implementing and mashing new Papers coming out in Robotics. Anyone who wants to talk more should please connect!
