Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
All the agent hook guards I’ve seen can be easily removed by agents (and they often do so they can get going with the task). I made mine harder to remove, and I’m working on making it impossible.
I also made “nah” easily extensible. Just point your agent to the docs which ship with the CLI, and ask it to build a custom guard.
I’m working on strong Python and Typescript pseudo-interpreters so I can detect disasters in inline code with less false positives. Bash parser is already very strong.
This is a side-project that I want to be proud off. I spend a lot of time designing, not just coding.

It upgrades your GitHub pull request review experience with a guided walkthrough of the PR optimized for reading.
It’s pretty fun! It might even work on your local library (I got carried away and spent a while making it work on a few thousand round the world - you can see the coverage here: https://leafle.nanosheep.net/coverage).
Surprised how difficult it is to get anything usable. The web really has turned hostile - anything not on a residential IP gets blocked by like 50% of the sites no questions asked
I guess they're all responding to mass scraping
Hosting an XGBoost-model for MLB totals predictions. It runs every thirty minutes: incorporating weather at the hyperlocal level and joins with player attributes that are provably affected by that weather. It also provides advanced decision-making tools with a Kelly Criterion calculator built in. Model still needs some calibration for bet-sizing but is very close to production-ready.

I've been working on this guy too https://github.com/Agustin-Delgado/repath. It's a modern circuit sim with a lot of bugs and things to be tested.
Along the way, I built AgentControl, so I can work better with coding agents, in ways that suits my style and preferences.
The past week, I've started AgentBrowser because I didn't want agent-controlled browsers to steal the focus. I use Safari for day to day browser stuff and Chrome just for dev. This combines them.
Which is, i think, a common thing about solo devs.How do you guys deal with that?
