Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
Would like to hear your thoughts and feedback than anything.
I was interested in building a product for which 1. the agent is the whole product, not just a component of it; and 2. solves a specific problem out of the box.
Tavi is a deep people search agent that lives in Slack. We used it to find our founding engineer and our first customers are a mix startups, recruiters and VCs.
The goal is to build a deep research product for actual researchers, since we believe that it is an extremely powerful product that is still nascent but has enormous potential - which we've already seen with some early users.
Lots of friends asked me which version of OpenClaw/Hermes are recommended as a stable version. I've no clue of it, and I don't updated my OpenClaw/Hermes very often to avoid unstable versions frequently. So I created the Agent Watch dashboard.
THANK YOU for all guys who gives feedback for the tiny project.
I recommend the book. It certainly isn't easy (maybe 3x harder than Crafting Interpreters), but I've learned a ton (eg how to deal with operations on different sizes of types, or the trick of using pseudoregisters to avoid having to figure out registers up front).
You build up a library from your physical books by scanning them in or discover OpenLibrary books to read in app. Then as you mark books in your library as read, it starts building a rotation and recommending books you haven’t read recently. I’ve been using this nightly to track my son’s 1000 books before kindergarten for the last couple of months.
Currently, I’m working to get the app out on Google Play and adding multiple story time attendee support.
