Ask HN: What are you working on? (May 2026)
Conclusion is permission reviews with LLMs like Claude’s auto mode or Codex auto review are like using a data center to flip a light switch - overkill.
The main benefit is that your agent’s autonomy can be governed deterministically through policies that can be stored at the user and repo level. The bonus is that you save tokens vs using auto modes.
Describe your symptoms in as much detail as detail as you like and get a full diagnostic report with parts links, tutorials, price estimates, guides for diy
Includes car sales tool, generates all the documents you need for the dmv in your county/state
iPhone all connects to Bluetooth obd2 sensors for check engine lights and live driving data
Setup search alerts for “dream cars”
This one has been a blast to build
This has some interesting implications. If you make a mistake, you can always backtrack and try again. If you have a crocheted piece, at least in principle you could find the lose end, free it, and work back stitch by stitch to reverse engineer it. (In practice people don't seem to do a stitch-for-stitch reverse engineering just like you probably wouldn't bother reimplementing something line by line without a compelling reason, you figure out what's going on in the challenging places just by look and feel and improvise from there.)
I'm oversimplifying somewhat and there are some forms of crochet that include irreversible stitches, yarn can be felted together (entangled, like a cotton ball) to create irreversible bonds between adjacent strands, and often several panels/pieces are joined together irreversibly to create a larger piece.
Launching a niche RSVP system
A Menu builder
A context/domain aware private message service.
On the server it opens a headless browser, where it converts the XLXS format to OGF (Open Grid Format), which is then rendered by DataGrid Toolkit, the engine behind DataGridXL v4. It then takes a screenshot of this render and sends it back to the requester.

It’s a hobby project in a very early state where it technically works but it’s missing several things I think it needs before I’d use it for anything serious. As of right now it isn’t even complete enough to dogfood a minimal container for itself without an intermediate base image because it can’t target a platform compatible with the distroless uv container image.
In addition to these tools, I'm also building automation that will port the tools from the reference implementation (OpenCode) to other harnesses (Claude Code, Cline, Pi, Gemini, Kilo, Codex, others to come?). As well as automation that will either cherry-pick or re-implement commits onto the latest head from upstream.

For the company I'm currently working I had made a VSCode extension where I can sync the task doc with clickup via frontmatter.
I decided to take it to next level as a side project. I built a CI integrated, git-native, agent template transformable syncing pipeline with git MD files to any project management tools. That means, either you can save your md files vanilla in your wiki (thus using the clickup AI search to dig up later, get insights etc) or you can use a AI agent template transformer to turn it into a task template (Background, acceptance criteria, functional requirements etc.) and update or create a task on a board.
I've been working on it now. I don't know how it will fare, but I feel like product is coming up nice.
I was actually working on last weekend with something that has similarities. I am working on USM.tools, which allows specifying your services in structured way.
There is a need to specify some of the data in semi-structured way, and I am using markdown for that.
So there is this interesting relationship between unstructured, semi-structured and structured data, and markdown hits that middle ground.
Can I suggest you make some Jira etc. templates on your landing page clickable, so a visitor can grasp your idea more easily? For me it was not clear whether the specs are just plain markdown, or do you have some additional tagging there.
Sure! thanks! thats good idea, to have it clickable and true that needs needs to be easily understandable.
This particular use case is people working together to collect data in a workshop. 10 people don’t want to see somebody searching for the right place in a form, it interrupts the flow of the meeting. You need to capture the ideas raw, and then structure later. That is where question anout how unstructured data is captured in strucured format pops up.
It is a workflow I directly support in my tool, not a generic tool like yours.
