Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
A constraint-solver for a novel algorithmic theory of harmony (cadence.is)
a word game based on transformations from one word to another (unreleased)
email my username at thekeyunlocks.us for access to any of them or if you want to talk shop!
A fun project with lots of challenges finding word lists, refining them, using AI for clue generation, etc.
At first I wasn't sure what I had to do, it simply throws you into the game, and it's easy to get confused with the numbers around it, because usually if there are numbers, there is going to be somewhere (usually at the bottom) the numbers and the clue for each of them.
It took me a bit to find how to get the clues from the vertical words (double tapping).
The onscreen keyboard isn't very responsive in the sense that I had to tap several times the backspace to delete a letter.
It doesn't allow to play again :(
- New ideas - Easier way for new users to try out the product. It's currently a few steps, but I want to optimize it for specific user personas.
The end goal is to have a laptop with an easy way to build lab environments which is secure and rootless.
A hierarchical text canvas for organizing thoughts and taking notes. I wrote v1 years ago and now spent about year rewriting it in SwiftUI and adding all my dream features like reminders, deep linking, and lots more. Currently in TestFlight beta, nearing release.
Eyeball is a bookmarks app that turns your own saved links into hyper-personalized playlists. It's like having a personal curator in your pocket that sends you a weekly issue of your own personal "magazine" on Sundays.
You submit heavy duty jobs without worrying about infra, and we take care of execution. We're starting with PDF extraction. Audio transcoding + STT (speech to text) is next. Video transcoding will follow.
This allows you to have $5/mo VPS and get media operations figured out.
Yes ... I know this exists out there about a million times, but I just want to see what I can do.
