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

https://azayrahmad.github.io/win98-web/ Another Web-OS remake of Windows 98 made with vanilla JavaScript. There are already a lot of Windows web remakes, especially in this age of AI. So for this passion project I intend to make it as accurate as it could ever be without having to emulate actual Windows 98.

Currently it has:

- Accurate recreation of Windows shell with start menu, taskbar, windowing system.

- Full desktop themes customization (color, cursor, sound, wallpaper, screensaver). All Win 98 default Plus! themes are included.

- Persistent local file system & mounting local folder as removable disk with ZenFS.

- Support playing Flash games and run DOS games (save game persisted). Yes, you can play Doom and copy your savegames to continue.

- Some accurate remakes of Windows 98 apps, some made by me (Solitaire games, Minesweeper, Notepad) some are existing ports (Pinball, JSPaint, Webamp, etc).

- Some other fun stuff

If you're interested in Windows 98, this is for you. You're also welcome to contribute or fork it to create your own version: https://github.com/azayrahmad/win98-web

Which?

Working on https://dataraven.io/ – a low-cost, cloud-native data movement platform focused on object storage.

RClone is doing the heavy lifting (amazing project). I'm wrapping it with the operational features clients have asked me for over the years:

  - Team workspaces with role-based access control
  - Notifications – alerts on transfer failure or resource changes via Slack, Teams, Discord, etc.
  - Centralized log storage
  - Vault integrations – connect 1Password, Doppler, or Infisical for zero-knowledge credential handling
  - 10 Gbps connected infrastructure (Pro tier) for large transfers

Funding for https://infinite-food.com/ - seeking $100M - now finalizing four strong patents in the non-military drone space. Had a couple of false start time wasting lawyers, but now it's home run time. We've got what seems to be a few simultaneous nice technical edges over the multibillion dollar investments in civilian aerial delivery of food from major early stage players to date. Can't wait to close, itching to get to market and start generating some proper California lunch money.

Simultaneously, working on some technical demonstration materials, including novel fabrication and supply chain, plus some reduced BOM strategies for greater efficiency in mass manufacturing (once we get cash over the line). Bit of electronics in there, some mechanical. Keeps me interested so it's not 100% admin.

Also getting back in to badminton, super fun, losing weight nicely, feeling better every week.

New ideas? AI government will have its day in our lifetime.

Would be cool to auto-sync with existing book management tools like clz.com/books. Also, are swaps mutual exchanges, or are members giving books away with nothing in return?
