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

Prepare to release https://github.com/Yiling-J/tablepilot v0.4.0, new workflow feature

I'm building a cli / tui program for dealing with jira. I enjoy project management, and even jira, but just hate how long it takes to do anything. Luckily the API is pretty easy to work with!

I have been building a Bluesky+X cross-posting tool with Bluesky analytics — https://theblue.social for the last few months. 2nd time I've gone full indie in 30 years.

I had built a social network for my friends which is working great so now I am building it for the world.

A place to dump all my thoughts in text to people I already know.

No photos, no clout-chasing, ego boosts, infinite scrolling, findable profiles etc.

I created a waitlist page (code only) using Gemini 2.5 and hosted it in cloudflare pages using D1 for database.

Waitlist page is here: https://waitlist-tx.pages.dev

Here's the full feature list for the initial version I am building where you can leave comments anonymously:

Any feedback is appreciated.

An open-source, self-hostable app for sending out newsletter to your friends and families. I'm mostly making it for myself because I want to share what I've been up to and family photos, without uploading it to Facebook or whatnot.

At the moment, the flow goes like this:

1. During the week, write posts for things that have happened.

2. Posts can be assigned to groups. (family, friends etc).

3. At the end of the week (or month), the app automatically creates a newsletter for each group by pulling posts assigned to each group. Add some final touches yourself and send it off!

4. Every newsletter will come with a link to download all images.

I'm trying to design it to be as old people friendly as possible which meant making the experience as simple as it can get. This made me settle on email newsletters. Emails are ubiquitous, have been around and will be around for a while. It's easy to sign up and things are just pushed to you instead of having to go to another app.

Another thing I want is multilingual support as my family is Korean my in-laws are not.

I'm hoping to get an MVP working this week and get some testing done with my own parents and in-laws.
