Ask HN: What are you working on? (July 2026)

[AznHisoka]

What projects are you working on? What's special about it? Anything we in HN can help with?

----- I'm working on something to find companies that use any SaaS product (everything from Workday to Hubspot): bloomberry.com

My wife and I are working on a math/science/CS-inspired jewelry business. We try to create pieces that stand on their own aesthetically but have a hidden meaning. 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.

I'm not into jewelry myself but these pieces are amazing. Maybe someday I'll buy a necklace for my wife here. Hope this takes off!!!

I have been working on https://www.accessmrf.com - a catalog of all American health care prices. Since there's way too much data, I am building a taxonomy and deduplicating it extensively first, with the idea that I can shrink it by ~4 orders of magnitude and make the problem tractable. I have written a bit about how I do it here: https://www.felixhaba.com/writing/simplifying-healthcare-pri...

My goal this week has been to index all insurers that publish machine readable files. For now, my project helps researchers and founders in the space access the data via API, it is not consumer-grade yet. But if you are interested in this data I would love to brainstorm ideas or share my knowledge. Shoot me a message.

Just started trying to write once a day in my website https://devz.cl

I set it up a few months ago to share gamedev, ideas, stories. So far it has been fun to see the comments here on HN. Not sure where else to share it. And the most rewarding aspect about it is being able to reflect daily/regularly about myself, software, or stuff in general.

I'm trying to get up to speed with my english writing. With spanish as a first language, english is a bit awkward to write, so this is good practice too.

Also I'm trying to implement indie web stuff on it. I'm limited to only stuff supported on static sites, but for example with the help of webmentions.io i was able to set them up on my website without requiring a server.

I'm working on Flex (https://flexenv.com/)

I am speaking to initial customers and from my initial pain at my day job it was going to be a way to be "Lovable for your existing product" . But it also seems like it might turn into "internal cloud to host dashboards non-technical people are making with Claude".

I'd love to talk to anyone that's in Product or Ops or Sales or Account Management or Customer Success who'd either like to make changes to their existing product without the need for a developer. Or maybe they have thrown something together with Claude and have no idea how to "get it into production".

Working on claudex (https://github.com/hsyvy/claudex) a harness inside Claude Code/ codex. Designing it to complete the complex task autonomously.

Original co-founder and CEO of Loggly here. Since Covid, with some fits and starts, I've been soloing on a whole fleet of agentic services to help unbundle what makes an LLM agentic (or any type of model for that matter). All is open source at: https://github.com/deepbluedynamics

Nemesis8(n8) -> agentic orchestration. CLI/TUI/ACP/MCP interface. Uses Docker/Podman to launch and manage agents in containers. TUI menu for viewing all sessions in one list. One --danger flag for all YOLO runs. Allows you to list/search sessions, detach/attach/suspend/resume, schedule, examine logs/load/active files (think Loggly/Splunk - web GUI in progress), configure MCP tools, and deploy services. Currently supports Antigravity, Claude Code, Codex, Grok Build, Hermes, Opencode and Pi. Modular enough I can add a TUI/provider in a few minutes. Server mode allows for dynamic port exposure when agents want to build and expose things to your local metal.

Hyperia -> Fork of Hyper, with a Rust sidecar. Agentic cross-platform terminal emulator. Minimalist multi-pane views, tabs for pane groups, built in browser panes (with markdown convertor and screenshot ability), and a fully searchable sticky notes feature. GLM-5.2 loves using them instinctively for planning, for some amazing reason. Use the webpanes + Stickys (that's the name of the feature) daily to read HN while a Nemesis agent is opening pages for me to read (works a bit like Claude's Chrome extension, but on steroids). Pane "poking" to keep things going or refresh pages. Stickys scheduling as well. Webpanes support JavaScript injection or inspection/log reading by the n8 agent. Compatible MCP/http server for full control by any n8 agent. Intra-pane/tab comms for agents to talk or control each other (one may start many or many may work a problem in union). Bare metal agent support through MCP adds. Full agentic stack as well, with over 135 tools exposed through a tool discovery tree. Working right now on supporting local Ollama models to manage config/style and control layout. I really do need to get the demo video done soon. Oh, I forgot to mention it has full ACLs for any destructive action (including the use of a terminal on your bare metal).

Nuts.services (url there) -> unbundled services for agentic control. Supports running locally in a container, or on Cloud run, or just use what I have up there in the cloud. I co-founded a SaaS logging service, so do realize logins are sometimes viewed negatively here. So, run it yourself if you think any of it is useful. Requires a login for using my cloud services, all I collect is an email and will never email you from that, unless you email me first or opt in. Will eventually be a paid service. Provides pure random numbers from an SDR radio running at my house (relayed to Cloud run - run one if you want and contribute to chaos), a stupid fast agentic crawler, Grubcrawler (founder of the old Grub crawler here), embeddings with vector inversion (newer embeddings coming soon), a Cloud Run based tunneling system, Lightning Network interconnect (Charon.nuts.services), and Sailfish, a WIP to run optimized Gemma4 models with a drafter on your 16GB GPU. Supports cloud training on n8's tool call extraction layer.

Have also been working on Lume, a pure Rust hybrid search engine (uses Shivvr the embedder above for vector search). Stupid fast. In memory. Roaring bitmap solution for document search. Needs a home, but for now serves as a reference for compossible agentic search. https://github.com/deepbluedynamics/lume. I also have a thermodynamic based agentic memory system which is currently closed source. I'll have that running as a paid service at some point.

I built all of this to enable me to work on and drive my passion baby, Meridian: https://deepbluedynamics.com. Full single pane of glass solution I'm building to disrupt the marine navigation and systems markets. Wyoming decentralized LLC.

There's more, but I need to get back to work. The Fable clock is ticking. Contact info in my profile.
