Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
This started with https://github.com/edward-murrell/sambervise - a GTK tool for admining Samba users and groups. I'm currently building a tool that walks a user through setting up a domain, adding DCs, and configuring fileservers and workstations.
In the TODO is making NFSv4 integration with Samba as painless as possible, and some kind of GUI application.
- Visual tool for building strategies
- Backtest on site or MT5 EA using same json configurations
- Running EA live (or paper mode) in prod automatically feeds the trades back to the site for analysis
- The thing I am most happy with: you can click any trade in backtest result and see exactly which rules were true at the bar that fired
You can try it in action w/o signup using taster page (https://foxtradetools.com/taster)
Solo dev. Open to any feedback.
MedAngle is literally everything one could need, personalized to their curriculum across 4-6 years of medical school. Quizzes, videos, notes, flashcards, reminders, scheduling, performance, search, and more.
Our Super App is comprised of MedGPT + MedAgent + Spaci (futuristic spaced repetition), which serve as layers over our massive collection of features such as the Smart Suite, Learning Library, Clinical Corner, Tested Tools and more.
100k+ users, 10s of billions of seconds spent studying smarter, invite only. Bootstrapped, growing nicely. I lead a team of top medical students and doctors.
* Advanced tab organizer, small chrome extension to organize my bad habit of 200+ tabs, can group them into windows, search, close duplicates, search just on a specific window. Pretty fun.
* A clipboard manager, just wanted to build something in Swift for fun
* A todo app for mac, local-only
I believe writing my own "Toy Harness" is a good way to learn and understand these tools.
Other than that, I did plant my tomatoes today.
It's an iOS & Android app that applies various generative art effects to your photos, letting you turn your photos into creative animated works of art. It's fully offline, no AI, no subscriptions, no ads, etc.
I'm really proud of it and if you've been in the generative art space for a while you'll instantly recognise many of the techniques I use (circle packing, line walkers, mosaic grid patterns, marching squares, voronoi tessellation, glitch art, string art, perlin flow fields, etc.) pretty much directly inspired by various Coding Train videos.
I'm frustrated at how we just do library updates and get whatever is next. Things break. Finding a changelog sucks. Vendor updates maybe put something in X.
We can do better so I'm starting an open initiative to tackle that.
