Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2026)
I like to make videos involving lots of kinetic text that is synced to audio but they always took ages to make. This was an experiment in ai assisted video editing with a strong feedback loop so the agent can self correct.
It's also my exploration into using local models and rendering to keep as much as possible on device. Over time its grown into something pretty useful so I decided over the weekend to release it generally.
1) bad apple on my kernel (OS)
2) language model + inference engine from scratch
3) sketchdaily.net, but you give it your own pinterest board of references instead of the preselected ones they have
I already have a product BenkoPhone.com but the app is provided by a 3rd party and I just white label it so I have started building the replacement.
I built the account management and billing system first after implementing a proof of concept for the app then had to do a major platform change which stalled development of any other features for 3 months.
Hopefully I’ll be adding features again by the end of this month and I’ll put some screenshots in once it actually does something!
