Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
Employee benefit plan analytics. Had a huge dataset long ago as a consultant to the industry and finally vibecoded up a decent frontend. All public data but if you know the data there is a bunch of analytics you can do. Just about to launch and do some marketing in a few weeks, so saw this and thought I'd throw it in!
https://vistacker.com - allows disconnected operation, auto sync across multiple machines with optional encryption so the service can’t see your data.
I'd love to get some feedback (have a few friends trying it out).
Currently we’re using AWS and Backblaze B2, but I’m formulating a plan to move to colocated servers. Not being billed per GB will open up a lot of new opportunities. Even at today’s server prices the math still adds up.
If you're a creator, researcher or developer looking to reap the rewards of a video without consuming it fully, then it's helpful.
Whole thing is up and running on vercel.
It's a work in progress — would be great to get some input!
I’d love any feedback!
It’s a lot of fun and ultimate nerdery for me :) I’m a ski instructor through the Austrian and Danish ski school systems, I studied physics, and I’ve been a developer the last 15 years.
