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

I am in the early stages on building a passion project called Metric Me - A dashboard for your body.

Over two decades ago I was diagnosed with high blood pressure (for which am I have been on meds for about 15 years). I also have low platelets (red blood cells, basically means that I bruise easily and that small cuts don't heal fast). At any rate, I do blood tests on a regular basis to keep things in check. I have been keeping track of test results, weight and blood pressure result for nearly 20 years, but the data lives in a text file on my desktop. I wanted to build something more substantial for this for quite some time now, so, this is it.

Last week I released Gata Router - https://github.com/gata-router

Gata is an open source automated L1 ticket triage tool for Zendesk. It costs pennies per ticket for it to route tickets to the correct team.

During development I was regularly seeing over 90% accuracy. The average for humans is 60-80%.

The whole thing runs in your AWS account.

There's more information in the release announcement - https://www.proactiveops.io/archive/meet-gata-the-automated-...

I am building a tool for synthetic monitoring for APIs. (Mimic users and generate continuous traffic against your APIs so that you catch problems before your users complain.)

There are some tools available today but setting them up is a lot of manual work. I am building an AI first tool that significantly simplifies the setup process (making AI do the heavy lifting) while creating high quality monitoring.

Early stages and collecting feedback from potential users. Reach out if something like this would solve some problems for you.

I too was thinking about something like this a few months ago. There were couple of reasons I didn't pursue the idea. One, the image generation AI wasn't reliable enough. Like, I couldn't get it to generate 2 images where the characters looked consistent, let alone a book worth of images. Two, the margins were quite small, so didn't seem like a viable business.

Wondering if you've thought about such things and your perspective.

I’ve just published the first public release of a new open source project Shovel.js, replacing tools like Express, Fastify, Next.js, Vite. It’s a full-stack/meta server framework which implements the full Service Worker specification but in Node, Bun, Cloudflare. It leans into using web standards to do things like accessing the filesystem, reading cookies, create client-side bundles rather than inventing new APIs. You can read about the process of making Shovel with AI in the introductory blog post.
