alt Hacker NewsAsk HN: What Are You Working On? (March 2026)
What are you working on? Any new ideas that you're thinking about?
Comments
A browser extension to add a table of content widget into the chatbot pages (claude/Grok/Chatgpt). Making long conversation easier to navigate. Mainly used on firefox. Not tested on chrome
Full encryption for notes (uses local encryption before you even sent the note to the server).
I wanted a mixture of Github Gists (sans Git) and 1Password shares so I've been using it eitj great success at my current company to share snippets and private stuff.
Might open source in the future, just need to gauge interest.
Current project is https://mattera.law which is an inbox-centric matter/case management system for law firms.
Under the hood it uses a cool legal reasoning agent primarily designed for understanding litigation claims and objectives.
Sometimes I do wish I had a slack channel of like 30 attorneys so I can ask them questions and get feedback.
Alfred/Spotlight like quick access search[1] for Bitwarden.
Built and adding few add on features on the way: copy card numbers and view notes.
With Rust, bwc-cli - it decrypts vault into zeroize and provides near instant search with hotkey.
An opensource AI analytics tool with option for teams to track everything on a dashboard. Happy to get feedback or contributions: https://getpromptly.xyz
I am working on ways to measure cognitive performance throughout the day and the impact of supplements or activities that supposedly help
I'm photographing wildflowers so much that I made a tool called Wildflower Witness to group the images into time series. I'm debating if I want to allow the user to create each flower in their collection or try to do it totally automatically. Also I've been using it already and I'm sad to say a ground squirrel ate one of my specimens.
I've been working on https://blogdb.org/ recently.
I originally made it a couple of years ago as a small proof of concept. A couple of weeks ago I started it over and have been using it as a project to work with Claude and learn approaches to coding with AI.
It's been a lot of fun.
I'm working on a hobby project named Belisarius that allows you to manage multiple repositories simultaneously by executing common commands and operations.
I'm working on version 3.0 of my feed reader app NewsNinja: https://ainews.ninja
Version 3 will add more feed types: Podcasts, Mastodon, Twitter/X, Calendar, Reminders, Weather, Finance tickers and more.
It will have a new UI, new features like notifications and local transcripts and summaries and many quality of life improvements.
https://github.com/Chrilleweb/dotenv-diff
Environment variable checker - pretty niche.
What would make you use this? does this miss anything useful?
It's nothing big. I wanted an offline natural language to cron/cron to natural language translator and I wanted to get some experience building MacOS apps. It's not vibe coded, but I did get good help from Claude since it's my first time building MacOS apps. It's free and no data is collected.
https://archigraph.ai/ An architecture-level agentic IDE.
MCP server to give AI agents design taste - https://fontofweb.com/mcp
Agents can search for design inspiration from production websites using semantic search. Since this inspiration comes from live websites, their design tokens; colors, typography usage, layout data are also available.
My 8-year-old is learning English and loves Peppa Pig. I thought — what if he could actually pick up words from watching it? Not "tap the apple" drills, but learning from the show he already loves.
So I built YouLingua (https://youlingua.world). Paste any YouTube video and get a word-by-word interactive transcript. Click a word to save it with the exact video moment — "muddy puddles" isn't a flashcard, it's Peppa jumping in one. Saved words then power mini-games: a space shooter, hex puzzles, TikTok-style review shorts...
Browser-based, no install. Login with a Web3 wallet — no grand reason yet, just something I'm interested in. Dream is to eventually make it fully decentralized so you truly own your learning data.
Still early, but my son now asks to "play the word game." That feels like a win.
Deep link now ( https://Deeplinknow.com ) - deferred deep linking for developers / people who dont want their links blocked by adockers because Branch/Appsflyer et al are actually under-the-hood cross platform ad tracking services.
I do no tracking, no analytics, just help you cross the airgap between web and mobile app so you can send users to the right place (and track them however you deem necessary)
I’ve been working on an rss, atom, json feed reader app that strives to make it a simple as possible to isolate what articles are meaningful for you.
For now it uses UX patterns to make it easy to remove uninteresting articles and keeps a record of your read and saved articles. All locally of course.
I’d like to make it into something we can share quality content with one another eventually. For now I’m focusing on making it good enough my entourage will want to use it

Everything's contained in a single go binary. Just build and run.
My friends and I would often sit in pubs trying to guess the top 10 most streamed songs for a musician so I had a go at turning it into a browser game.
Had a lot of fun doing it and it's more user friendly than trying to read off lists from stream aggregators online that have a lot of ads etc.
First ever go at something like this so any feedback is appreciated!
A fully vibe coded python 3.14 interpreter in Rust: https://blueblazin.github.io/pyrs
Now at 350k lines. Native and wasm binaries (you can try the limited wasm version online). Currently adding a full CPython test suite benchmark.
Just for fun, not trying to replace CPython here. Mainly to test the limits of current coding agents.
I'm building SocialProof (socialproof.dev) — the simplest way for freelancers and small agencies to collect written testimonials from clients.
The problem I kept seeing: freelancers have happy clients but almost no testimonials on their site. Asking is awkward, clients say "sure!" and then never write anything.
SocialProof gives you one shareable link. Client clicks it, fills a short form (name, text, optional photo), you approve it, it embeds anywhere. No login required for the client.
The interesting technical bit: it's entirely on Cloudflare Workers + D1 + Pages. The collection form and embed widget are edge-served globally with no origin server. Been curious whether anyone else is building purely on Cloudflare's stack and what they've run into.
Still pre-revenue (just launched today). If you're a freelancer or run a small agency and have thoughts on how you currently handle testimonials, I'd genuinely love to hear it.
We are building an agentic ad tech system optimized for real time and scale. The process of making an ad, from ideation to distribution, is traditionally exceptionally labor intensive. We are making it possible to target, design, and distribute ads at scale and in real time.
A webapp combining note taking with messaging. Recently added a new feature that allows for creating communities in a lightweight discord-like UI:
StoryStarling. You describe a story idea and it generates a fully illustrated children's book, then we print and ship it.
Not templates with names swapped in. Every story and illustration is made from scratch. You can go from "dinosaurs soccer" or write out a whole storyline. Pick an art style, optionally upload reference photos of your kid, and it builds a 28 page book in a few minutes.
Bilingual in 38 languages. We handle RTL (Arabic, Hebrew), CJK, and less common languages like Estonian, Maltese, Irish where there's not much available for kids.
Tech side for the curious: LangGraph orchestrates the pipeline, Celery workers do image generation and text rendering in parallel, and LLMs critique the illustrations for consistency mistakes and can trigger regenerations automatically.
Printed in Germany, booklet around 20 EUR, hardcover around 40 EUR.
I'm working on a cross‑platform snippet manager & local code runner built with Avalonia: https://github.com/mx7b7/codesnip-avalonia
Multi region AWS is the flavor of the quarter or half - for projects that were not terra formed.
I working on a service[1] for myself to track visually the first page of some news websites hourly. Hosting the agent on my RP5.
Built GhostDance — overlay any TikTok dance as a ghost on your camera to practice in real time.
Been learning dance moves from TikTok but hated the pause/rewind loop on my phone. So I built a web app that overlays the original dancer as a translucent ghost directly on your camera feed.
Upload any video → ghost appears → you follow → record yourself → export. No install, works on mobile browser.
Feedback will be much appreciated!
DesignFlo:
Build enterprise grade applications (in Elixir) with AI the right way.
Secure. Scalable. Reliable.
Built based on a senior engineer's experience. Uses 10 years of battle-tested patterns, not just LLMs:
1. Uses algorithms over AI whenever possible.
2. No external library dependencies whenever possible.
3. Old school over shiny new toys. Use the right solution for the problem (Eg. SQL vs NoSQL).
I'm working on a voice cloning version of my TTS model, a highly upgraded VITS:
https://x.com/ZDi____/status/2013655958027669958
Right now, I only have single speaker checkpoints (as per the old video). That will change soon.
I am working on a SSL certificate monitor. It comes with its own probe that can scan your private infra and collect the certs for monitoring. It also has a web interface for monitoring SSL certificate of any public domain. There are a few chinks here and there. Hope I can get it over by this month.

Health.md - https://healthmd.isolated.tech/
Export your Apple Health data directly to Markdown files in your iOS file system.
Open-sourced it at https://github.com/CodyBontecou/health-md.
Fun little vibe-coded app that has made a lot of users happy.
Working on TRIPA, a internal pack format to save huge amount of small images to cloud storage without dying from the write costs.
An automated file system handler, similar to Hazel[1].
I want to treat my Downloads folder (or some other one) like an "Inbox" where I can just dump everything, and then the program knows where exactly in my (Johnny Decimal) file system the file should land.
I built chernoffOT for fun - https://github.com/ashinvinod/chernoffOT
It basically pulls OpenTelemetry data from your infra and renders chernoff faces, so you can spot anomalies at a glance.
