Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)
It has completely local environment and has no servers. Your files saved as SQLite database files per board. This means you have nothing to set up. No account, no sign-in, no sync settings. Just open it and work. You can use git or Onedrive to sync your SQLite files.
The code is open-source on GitHub with MIT license. I am using claude to build it in C#, Skiasharp for canvas and WPF UI.
If you are interested to take a look, please check it here : https://github.com/ppnpm/segue
Thanks, Ankit
Don't believe? Read the reviews.
All you need to do is provide it your calorie intake and weight reading each day.
How does it work? Explained here: https://macrocodex.app/knowledge/rethink/adaptive-tdee/
We already have 16,000+ users.
My core hypothesis is that LLMs are trained to write consistent code (good for a billing function), but they also express design through code, resulting in consistent design as well.
Diffusion models are just now good enough to do UI, and are trained on a much wider set of visual data, resulting in more unique outputs. LLMs are now good enough to convert images to code very effectively, so the end result is better even though you have to do a conversion.
Here's a page detailing the standard flow: https://diffui.ai/blog/show-hn
And here are a couple sample sites built with it:

Happy to answer any q's!
- A Markdown parser/renderer (https://github.com/andrewjk/allmark). The TS version of this was hand written and the other versions are AI translations.
- A Git client (https://github.com/andrewjk/gitologist) and a diffs parser/renderer (https://github.com/andrewjk/differator). These were vibe coded in TS, checked and then AI translated.
I’ve used these libraries to build a native Mac Markdown notes app (https://staunchapps.com/stash) and a JS script launcher (https://staunchapps.com/launch).
I’ve been focused on decentralising it, offering ways for bloggers to write locally (markdown, Obsidian) while hosting remotely on the platform. I think it’s a great way of working. Most people still just use the editor though!
I’ve been focused on marketing and distribution, which is mainly about content. Hard in such a crowded space but it seems to be working.
It’s been such an interesting journey technically too, from using coding agents to dealing with the crazy deluge of bot traffic.
I run it all myself which isn’t so daunting in the AI age.
We currently have two styles: lambda calculus based pieces (we depict the lambda/Tromp diagram) where we have Y-Combinator earrings (well, strictly speaking they are one beta reduction away from Y-combinator. Aesthetic oblige) and a pendant depicting a lambda expression computing Graham's number. The other style is quantum computing circuits, based on quantum computing research my brother (a physics professor) is doing: a pendant that is actually a non-local controlled-NOT gate. I wrote a tiny DSL to describe the jewelry pieces, and an interpreter to produce CAD files. We then either 3D print them or have them produced by lost-wax.
We are 200% out of our comfort zone (and love it): I know nothing of front end dev, payments, or anything like that. The diamond district in New York is a neighborhood we normally actively avoid, but if you are forced to go there it is fascinating (people examining diamonds on the corner of the street, others in fur coats in summer straight out of a mafia movie...), and especial marketing. Jewelry is a completely saturated business (luckily we are not doing this to pay the rent); we think we have a unique angle, but we are still figuring out the target audience (if there is one), how to advertise, etc.
Any ideas on marketing are welcome.

Maybe contact CERN - they have a souvenirs shop https://visit.cern/shop
When? Is a timeline game I've been working on for a bit. It's a board game I love playing with my family and I wanted a slicker mobile version I could play with them.
