Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (Nov 2025)
https://flopper.io - this has become a big focus. It's essentially a table for flops. Calculator coming soon for flops and power. Imported >600 Datacenters in October.
https://llmstxt.studio - models need data and I believe llms.txt as an idea has merit. Likely needs an authority. Will add more audit tools to give people any slight benefit they can have for SEO.
https://probe.bike - tell stories with your bikepacking data.
It's pretty hard to work on all these ideas and areas whilst working. Feeling a bit over stretched.
Flopper remains the main focus as release cycles are slow and it overlaps with work slightly.
No Ads, no paywall, just focused on a good reading experience with some extra niceties like widgets on the home screen.

It is like /., but better :-)
It relies on “modern” (2009) extensions to minimise traffic and avoids polling entirely (relying on the server to notify of new messages or changes as they happen).
It’s currently quite stable. The only known issue is that it can take a while to detect a timeout when the system is suspended and woken up again (there’s no portable API to detect suspend/resume).
Since then, I’ve been working on a simple TUI email client based on notmuch and maildir. So far it works really well for processing email, but lacks any capabilities for handling attachments, composing, sending (these are obviously on the roadmap).
