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

I'm working on https://www.hessra.net/

It's a full identity and authorization platform targeted for service-to-service use cases. But my focus the last couple months has been to make provisioning identity super easy, and I think I've done that (at least compared to something like SPIRE).

So if anybody has CI/CD pipelines, AI agents, edge-functions, or multi-cloud workloads they want to give auditable identity, I can help!

Published my first AUR package this week. It's called bleep, a simple interval timer that beeps.

The idea came from cooking bolognese. I needed something to remind me when to stir. So I wrote a small Go tool that just beeps at whatever interval(s) you set.

Then I kept adding stuff. Verbose mode with a live countdown, pause/resume with signals, and a JSON output mode that works with Waybar. That last one is actually my favorite part. I get a little timer in my status bar that changes color when it's counting, paused, or beeping. Click to pause. Works great for pomodoro or just keeping track of things while working.

I switched from Mac to Arch and wanted to try the whole AUR thing. Used GoReleaser to automate the build and publish. Took some fiddling but it works now.

AUR: yay -S bleep-bin

I just launched keywordsPal.com - automation to identify where your customers/initial users are using keywords tracking.

I built it as a hobby while I work on making microvm's way easier to use.

I started a challenge I call “Dopamine Detox December” in which I stopped doing certain things to stop dopamine stimulants: - No social Media - No news - No video streaming services (such as YT, Netflix, and Amazon Prime) - No electronic and energetic music

The first days were so hard but now I’m getting used to it. I documented it here: https://ramezanpour.net/post/2025/12/11/dopamine-detox-is-ha...

Finishing up adding support for optional regex engines to my Python file path matching library.
