Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
After a few rounds of using it, I already know a few things I didn't before: I suck at right-to-left breaking putts, I baby uphill putts too much, and getting out of bunkers consistently is not good enough if I can't sink the occasional save. So I know what to practice now.
Yes, you can use your own API key as well.
Feedbacks are welcome.
The persistence model makes documents somewhat sharable, but I do find Open Graph previews to be mixed. In Messenger it renders the whole URL, which is quite long due to encoding, and that kills the conversation view.
The idea was to create a quine that runs forever on something like Akash network with its own crypto treasury to support and pay it's bills and try to replicate. It would then talk to an LLM for support and actions on what to do to stay alive.
It got pretty out there. Stored some of the ideas here.
In short, it unifies the configuration of different desktop components as policies ( dconf, Kconfig, polkit, Chrome, Firefox, etc.. . It's LGPL.

Cheers! Blago :)
For context, I built out Playboy's age verification system, and watched as it hurt conversion (nobody wants to upload an ID to an adult website, who would have thought!). Cryptographic signatures from issuing authorities (DMVs, universities, employers, etc) with selective disclosure (e.g. you don't need to upload your full ID, just the fields that matter) is how verification _has_ to work going forward -- AI can fake documents, but not private keys.
I've been working on this 6 months full time, and implemented all the W3C VC, OpenID4VCI/VP, SD-JWT specifications myself.
Would love to get people's thoughts on it!
It's designed to integrate with Maven projects, to bring in the benefits of tools like Gradle and Bazel, where local and remote builds and tests share the same cache, and builds and tests are distributed over many machines. Cache hits greatly speed up large project builds, while also making it more reliable, since you're not potentially getting flaky test failures in your otherwise identical builds.
