Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
Document translator that keeps layout intact.
A graphical web interface for building out Prisma database schemas, and then exporting the code.
Why? I want a fun/meaty Elixir project.
Will anyone use it? Who knows.
In my spare time I've been working on a small service for making sure I remember friends and families birthdays. I think it's really important but with friends all having kids it's becoming more and more to keep track of in the calendar. I'm putting together a small web app which takes in the birthday and sends me a reminder a set amount of time away, with some suggestions for birthday gifts.
The suggestions right now are just ones that I've entered as I've come across ideas throughout the year for people. But I want to try and plug in known interests and see if I can do a better recommendation for myself. I'm hoping to keep it quite small as I don't want to take the spirit out of remembering people's birthdays, but I do want to be more consistent.
