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

I’m building a tool that lets me organize sheet music, rehearsals, and share with groups I play with.

Also building a Golang middleware to record analytics (saved into a local duckdb)

I'm working on Dictatorship Simulator. A deckbuilder where, instead of directly attacking your enemy, you manipulate a political simulation to do it for you. You start out on the fringe, and slowly work your way up, fighting an increasingly worried and panicky government - as well as your own.

Working on https://localhero.ai, automating i18n translations for product teams (runs as a GitHub Action, translates new strings on PRs matching your brand voice and glossary).

Shipped "bring your own translations" feature this month, built together with a customer who wanted Localhero for the workflow and review layer but writes some translations themselves. Otherwise smaller improvements and marketing. Better Lingui support, for example: projects using explicit IDs keep the source text in the source locale's msgstr instead of the msgid, which our CLI got wrong before. Also wrote some blog posts, a comparison of GitHub Actions for i18n and a guide to auto-translating gettext .po files in CI (Django, Phoenix, LinguiJS). Content is slow going but it seems to be how people find us via perplixity/gemini/chatgpt.

On the side, https://infrabase.ai (AI infrastructure tools directory) grew ~16% MoM. I leaned further into the agent angle: added a public query API plus llms.txt/agents.md/etc so agents can query the directory directly, and exported the full dataset to a public GitHub repo. Starting to get som traction and people wanting collaborations.

TermDOM: A terminal renderer which used real DOM nodes, so you can write TUIs like web apps with HTML, CSS, and whatever framework you want. I didn’t really write this, more like spent intense weeks of effort where I product manage (yell at) Claude and did visual testing.

Currently building Tensou in my free time

I always get frustrated when using local file transfer tools like:

Dukto: was my personal favorite, but is tiring to run cross platform, and most importantly does not support transfer resumes (so if copy got cancelled/disconnected at 99% you either have to copy again or search for the diff and copy it manually)

LocalSend: pretty good cross platform support, but does not work when connecting 2 devices using a LAN cable, and resume support is poorish

So I'm building Tensou to be an alternative that doesn't compromise all these features. Supporting resumes, folder syncing similar to rsync, cross platform (well I don't have a Mac to test on but it should work, and mobile support is planned)

Performance wise it's on par with Dukto and even slightly better with large files (and I'm still working on optimizations for small files too)

Would like to hear HN's feedback or what other features should I add? My goal with Tensou is to be the best, most performant and feature rich local file transfer tool ever.
