Ask HN: What are you working on? (September 2025)

An editor for creating custom accessible color palettes for web/UI design. :)

https://www.inclusivecolors.com/

It gives you precise control over every shade/tint (no AI or auto generation!) so you can incorporate your own brand colors, and helps you build palettes that have simple to follow color contrast guarantees by design e.g. all grade 600 colors have 4.5:1 WCAG contrast (for body text) against all grade 50 colors, such as red-600 vs gray-50, or green-600 vs gray-50. There's export options for plain CSS, Tailwind, Figma, and Adobe.

I'm really open to feedback on what problems and needs people have for creating accessible designs!

That’s lovely to hear! Thank you!

I’ve been working on a few utility libraries to make it easier to develop web services, basically exporting packages that I find myself using or rewriting often and exporting them as their own modules.

I recently published https://github.com/hxtk/sqlt for SQL query generation with Go templates.

I’m working on https://github.com/hxtk/aip as a collection of libraries giving safe default choices to implement Google’s API improvement proposals in ConnectRPC services. It borrows (with attribution per the license) an unexported implementation of AUP-160 filters from the LuCI project, and I intend to expand it to support data sources other than SQL databases and page tokens, and it also exports an implementation of AIP-161 field masks (which have different semantics compared to standard field masks) and middleware to help with using them for AIP-157 read filtering. I intend to export more middleware that I use frequently, but I don’t know if it’ll live in this module or its own yet.
