Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
there's no control plane, each node is equal and eventually consistant and its (so far) end to end rust so a very minimal footprint per node.
It has a few core libraries built in rust with a web app and a terminal UI. Android app is in the works. The persistence layer is intended to be offline first using a CRDT with an optional sync server. I'm also trying to integrate "bring your own AI" assistants to help tweak recipes or make suggestions.
It's been a fun way to sharpen my claude skills but also to see how feasible it is to maintain multiple frontend applications with a large amount of shared code. Still a lot to do, particularly the core calculations are not yet on par with existing offerings.
Its been pretty fun cosplaying as an network engineer, and now I'm building out an Anycast network for a few ideas that I'm working on.
Its nothing too revolutionary or new, but I'm proud that I've built them from ground up and all running on my own infrastructure.
- DNS Authoritative Hosting - https://thelittlehost.com/dns/ - Quietnet - A family-focused internet filter - https://quietnet.app
I'm also getting ready to launch https://relaye.io, which was my personal tool I built to support my devops consultancy.
I'm trying to see how far I can get using AI to help me track pre-owned items for sale, starting with watches. I started with an OpenClaw agent that was looking for specific things I wanted to buy, and then I figured might as well make a whole site for it so I can share with others.
There is a wealth of data that's behind CSVs and other data formats. This uses DuckDB as a common (local) database to cache and run queries against, and enables going across datasets for insights using LLMs.
Info (not recent) available here: https://awz.us/docs
New features shipped last month:
- Adaptive practice: LLM generates and grades questions in real-time, then uses Item Response Theory (IRT) to estimate your ability and schedule the optimal next question. Replaces flashcards; especially for math and topics where each question needs to be fresh even when covering the same concept. - Interactive math graphs (JSXGraph) that are gradable - Single-image Docker deployment for easy self-hosting

And will add a privacy policy by the end of the day, thank you for point that one out
The main thing I'm currently working on is a platform for organizing and discovering in-person events. Still not certain about the boundaries for "Phase 1", but I have a bunch of ideas in that space that I've been incubating for a while. One subset of features will be roughly similar to that app you've probably heard of that starts with 'M' and ends with 'p', but hopefully an improvement, at least for the right audience. But wait, there's more. :)
Currently building it; it's not public yet, so no link. Next month.
Thinking about how to grow the userbase is intimidating, but I think it might end up being fun.
