Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (June 2025)

I'm working on rewriting OSINTBuddy in Rust with Apache Age and Vite+preact ( http://209.46.122.104/docs/overview - sign in/create account will not work yet). The project was previously written in Python using JanusGraph and the frontend using create-react-app. I still have to wire up all the frontend endpoints and write out a Rust websocket but once that's done I'll more or less be at feature parity with the old Python edition.

The code can be found here: https://github.com/osintbuddy/osintbuddy (and on codeberg)

After 2+ years of maintaining the FOSS lightweight Reddit frontend Redlib [0], I realized that my niche but extremely detailed knowledge and experience of using Reddit's endpoints might be useful. After reverse engineering the mobile app and writing code to emulate nearly every aspect of its behavior, plus writing a codegen framework that will auto-update my code from analyzing the behavior from an Android emulator, I can pretty easily replay common user flows from any IP around the world, collecting and extracting the data. Some use cases:

* OSINT (r00m101 just beat me to it by launching...)

* Research into recommendation algorithms, advertising placement algorithms, etc

* Marketing (ad libraries, detailed analysis of content given data not even exposed to the mobile app due to some interesting side channels, things like trend analysis, etc)

* Market research for products

* Sales teams can use it to find exact mentions of other products. Eg: selling crash reporting software? Look up your target accounts' brands and find examples of complaints.

Plus a few more with more imagination.

So I'm working on a site that allows user access to some of the read-only functions available here. Coming soon :tm:. Been really fun building it all in Rust, though :) If you're interested in anything here, email in profile.

[0]: https://github.com/redlib-org/redlib

Is there any interest in factoring the Reddit parts out of the UI code? I've been thinking of taking a stab at that myself but figured this would be a good place to ask if you have plans :)

Do you mean a way to have the Reddit app render content from some generic social media provider, while keeping the UI? I haven't thought about that yet. I'm sure it would be possible, but that would require tearing out a lot of backend code and replacing it 1:1. Most of my work has been on the network side of the app, and not much modification; just introspection and inspecting behavior.

My main question: why, do you like the UI? I honestly really hate the reddit app, I haven't seriously used it for browsing since I fixed up Libreddit into Redlib :)

Ideas are coming way too fast to work on them all at the moment.

* Expect/snapshot testing library for F# is now seeing prod use but could do with more features: https://github.com/Smaug123/WoofWare.Expect

* A deterministic .NET runtime (https://github.com/Smaug123/WoofWare.PawPrint); been steaming towards `Console.WriteLine("Hello, world!")` for months, but good lord is that method complicated

* My F# source generators (https://github.com/Smaug123/WoofWare.Myriad) contain among other things a rather janky Swagger 2.0 REST client generator, but I'm currently writing a fully-compliant OpenAPI 3.0 version; it takes a .json file determining the spec, and outputs an `IMyApiClient` (or whatever) with one method per endpoint.

* Next-gen F# source generator framework (https://github.com/Smaug123/WoofWare.Whippet) is currently on the back burner; Myriad has more warts than I would like, and I think it's possible to write something much more powerful.

I finally compiled and expanded on all my various blog posts, tutorials and other Python goodness into a book: Working with Python. It is available as a free pdf download at: https://mkaz.blog/working-with-python/

It's grown over a dozen or so years and when I finally decide to compile into a book, everyone now uses AI and no longer read and learn from books but instead through LLMs.

Fantastic. I wish I'd started on writing something like this years ago (although I'd wanted to teach explicitly rather than having a collection of how-tos).

> when I finally decide to compile into a book, everyone now uses AI

This is part of what discourages me from starting now, sadly. That, and having more concepts for actual Python projects than I know what to do with.

> everyone now uses AI and no longer read and learn from books

Not me, I read the shit out of documentation and also books like yours which distill knowledge from professionals down to a bunch of useful points. I have never not learned something (even if I knew and forgot it) from reading a good book about "Working with X".

Thanks for your hard work, and for giving it away to others gratis.

Edit: the string formatting cookbook has a ton of useful info that I always forget how to use, I'm going to bookmark your site by this page: https://mkaz.blog/working-with-python/string-formatting

I'm writing tests, fixing bugs, and adding features to improve the quality of a piece of financial software that transfers certain financial data on a special private network. It's way less fancy than it sounds, but I'm enjoying improving the tests and adding important security and legal compliance features. Knowing that others will depend on my hard work to keep their business financial records straight is a great reward, and I am taking my responsibility seriously.

I'm also working on learning about building software with LLMs, specifically I am building a small personal project that will allow me to experiment with them using measurable hypotheses and theories, rather than just tweaking a prompt a bunch and guessing when it is working the best. I know others have done this, but I am building it from the ground up because I'm using it as a learning experience.

I plan to take my experimentation platform and build a small "personal agent" software package to run on my own computer, again building from scratch for my own learning process, that will do small things for me like researching something and writing a report. I don't expect anything too useful to come out of it, since I am using 1.7B/4B models on a MacBook Air M2 (later I might use my 3080 but that won't be much improvement), but it will be interesting to build the architectural stuff even if the agents are effectively just useless cycle-wasters.

I've been building tooling for better debugger support for Rust types using debuginfo: https://github.com/samscott89/rudy

I'm planning on doing a proper writeup/release of this soon, but here's the short version: https://gist.github.com/samscott89/e819dcd35e387f99eb7ede156...

- Uses lldb's Python scripting extensions to register commands, and handle memory access. Talks to the Rust process over TCP.

- Supports pretty printing for custom structs + types from standard library (including Vec + HashMap).

- Some simple expression handling, like field access, array indexing, and map lookups.

- Can locate + call methods from binary.

Still on my sabbatical and continuing to build on things I enjoy rather than things that pay (for now).

Main focus is https://wheretodrink.beer, collecting and cataloging craft beer venues from around the world. No ambition of being exhaustive, but aiming for a curated and substantial list. After the last thread, a bunch of people added their suggestions, thanks! It helped add interesting new venues from cities I hadn’t covered yet.

I’m very slowly layering on features, and have a few spin-off ideas I’ll keep brewing on for later. The hardest problem thus far has been attempting to automate popularity rankings and automatic removal of defunct venues without breaching a bunch of ToS.

Also made https://drnk.beer, a small side project offering beer-related linkpages and @handles for Bluesky (AT Protocol). It's been on the backburner, but still very much live.

Probably looking for another small project for the next few months to focus on something else for a while. Always curious to see what others are building and doing. Thanks for sharing!

How did you populate it? The Berlin list was pretty decent. I added one that came to mind.

I wrote a simple app last year that put all my Apple Watch workout routes on a simple map, so I can see how much of the city I’ve covered (all existing options were paid, and I was too cheap for it). Now I have some time, so rewriting it properly that’s based on neighbourhood, completion %s, achievements and etc. It’s weirdly fun, because I’m not a mobile engineer, but satisfying to see hundreds of users per month using my app.

Also, every region has different ways of representing a “neighbourhood”, so I get to learn how to extract viable data from each city. Lots of map stuff, I’m genuinely enjoying it!

This sounds wonderful. Do you have some writeup about it or screenshots?

I've been working on a 3D voxel-based game engine for like 10 years in my spare time. The most recent big job has been to port the world gen and editor to the GPU, which has had some pretty cute knock-on effects. The most interesting is you can hot-reload the world gen shaders and out pop your changes on the screen, like a voxel version of shadertoy. https://github.com/scallyw4g/bonsai

I also wrote a metaprogramming language which generates a lot of the editor UI for the engine. It's a bespoke C parser that supports a small subset of C++, which is exposed to the user through a 'scripting-like' language you embed directly in your source files. I wrote it as a replacement for C++ templates and in my completely unbiased opinion it is WAY better.

I built an IPC/RPC shim for my Chrome extension so I can send strongly-typed messages between isolated JS contexts that otherwise expose wildly inconsistent messaging APIs.

I discovered that VSCode has a very nice solution so I pulled the core VSCode libraries and injected them into a Chrome extension using the dependency injection, ipc / rpc, eventing to bridge the gap between all of these isolated JS contexts and expose a single, strongly‐typed messaging API, my IPC/RPC shim sits on top of each of the native environments and communication mechanisms listed below:

Environments: Node.js main process, Node.js child process, Node.js worker thread, browser main thread (window), iframe, dedicated Web Worker, Shared Worker, Service Worker, AudioWorklet

Communication: fetch/XMLHttpRequest, WebSocket, RTCDataChannel, EventSource, BroadcastChannel, SharedArrayBuffer + Atomics, localStorage storage events, MessageChannel/MessagePort, postMessage/onmessage, Worker.postMessage/worker.onmessage, parentPort.postMessage/parentPort.on('message'), ChildProcess.send/process.on('message'), stdin/stdout streams

Yesterday, Microsoft released the source code for the Copilot chat. Apparently, since the basis of my Chrome extension is the same core libraries I can drop the VSCode chat UI into the side panel without much friction. Although, I might continue to use Microsoft's FluentUI chat currently implemented in the extension.

Because Copilot chat has a lot of code that runs in node in Electron, now I'm working in porting all the agent capabilities for browser automation from the Copilot chat including the code for intent, prompt creation, tools, disambiguation, chunking, embedding, ect. I'm 4 to 6 weeks away from having feature parity of Playwright for automation from a Chrome extension side panel that can do most of the inference using huggingface transformer.js locally.

Yeah, I think I'm 4 to 6 weeks away from having a Copilot chat in a browser doing agent automation.

I'm still working on a German health insurance calculator. It evolved into a very elaborate recommendation tool.

Health insurance is one of the earliest, most important decisions immigrants make, and they often choose wrong. It can delay visa applications, cause coverage issues, or create expensive problems down the road.

Now they click a few buttons and get very specific recommendations explained in plain English. If they're confused, they can involve an independent insurance expert for free. The guy replies within an hour or two, and is cool with Whatsapp. The way I gather feedback from users, he's strongly incentivised to stay honest.

There is no AI involved, just good old-fashioned business logic. It means that the advice is sound, well-tested and verified by multiple competing experts.

It's such a far cry from either trusting whatever reddit or your employer tells you, or the slow back and forth of getting a quote from a (possibly dishonest) broker.

The second version[0] has been live for about a month, and the results are phenomenal. This third version vastly improves the quality of the advice, adding information about gap insurance for visa applicants, and making actual recommendations instead of listing all options.

It's a really fun project, even if the topic is boring. It's a great research, UX, copywriting, coding and business project. It's the product of a few months of hard work, and so far it seems to pay for itself.

I've been more actively developing PAPER, and expect to push to GitHub and publish wheels on PyPI tomorrow although it's really still not ready for a Show HN. My work there has also led me to developing some side utilities:

* a library for filesystem tree operations (and other trees, if you're clever enough swapping in components)

* a utility to identify and extract wheels from pip's cache (so that they can be dumped into other installers' caches, for example)

I also hope to return to bbbb soon, if only to make sure that it can build PAPER's wheels smoothly (and with a few other basic conveniences implemented).

Oh, and I wrote an article for LWN recently and have plans for a few more....

I’ve been working on an app called Lång. It’s a calm daily spending guide – shows you what’s okay to spend today, based on how much needs to last how long.

The idea came from noticing how most people manage money day to day: checking their balance, adjusting by feel, trying not to drift. There are tons of tools for planning or categorising, but not much that fits that kind of improvised pacing.

Still early, but trying to shape it around those habits – to make something simple and steady, that supports how people already do things.

Basically, I am scraping /bestcomments, which is a compilation of the highest voted comments for that period. I present them grouped by story and in the order that they were added to the /bestcomments page. Check it out, it's a great way high quality comments on active topics. I'm going to add other frills like sorting and filtering, but this seems to be as good a time as any to get some of your thoughts!

I'm working on https://tickerfeed.net - a new kind of forum for stock market discussion.

After HashiCorp was acquired by IBM I decided to take time off from corporate life and build something for myself. For years I've also been a casual retail investor on the side.

Forums like /r/stocks and /r/wsb in the past have been useful resources for finding leads and interesting information. But meme-ification (among other factors) have substantially degraded sites like Reddit, to the point where interesting comments are much fewer and far in between. With TickerFeed I'm hoping to recapture what was lost - a platform where investors can discuss companies and all things stock market through meaningful long form content.

It's also a chance to build something with my dream stack - Go + HTMX + SQLite, and that's been fun :)

We host a static site service where users can manage their sites via ssh (https://pgs.sh). Previously we used minio for object storage but have become frustrated by its perf issues on smaller VMs, don't need the distributed features, and wanted something a little lighter weight. We initially thought Garage could check most of our boxes but very quickly discovered perf issues there as well.

So we decided to build out our own filesystem adapter and recently deployed it. It's pretty exciting to have our own solution that does exactly what we need and appears significantly faster.

It makes us want to open source pgs.sh because it has fewer dependencies in order to deploy.

An iOS app that lets you change the paint color of your rooms and try out new interior design styles (ex: Rustic, Coastal, etc).

I built it because I was blown away with what the latest image generation models can do and found that interior design is one area where it could already provide significant value for people. I’ve already used it in just about every room in my house to help me decide on:

- which paint color I should use

- how I should arrange my furniture

- what color theme I should be using to match the design I’ve gone with

- general inspiration on decor

It’s free to download to try with sample imagery. Unfortunately due to the cost of image generation, you won't be able to upload your own photos in the free version (yet). But I’m constantly improving the app and would really love some feedback.
