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

I've built Ziggity an ultra fast, keyboard driven terminal UI for Git, written in Zig https://github.com/simoarpe/ziggity

Finishing up the IDE (Chord Writer) for my new Interactive Fiction modeling language (Chord) for web+parser based games.

Since January I've been working on a storytelling system that fuses what I think is the best of interactive fiction / MUDs with the strengths of LLMs. The world model is entirely deterministic, but the LLM interprets the player and narrates the game and NPCs.

Also hacking on something similar to YC's QM but designed for small non-profits to ease as much back office work as possible.

I’m building cloud managed self improving agents at https://sanbox.cloud.

Each instance gets its own persistent file system, root SSH access and a web terminal. The goal is to let an agent build skills with experience rather than start from scratch on every task.

I started with Hermes as the first harness and now exploring Prime Agent. You can use it for a personal assistant, use it to build LLM wiki, connect it as part of an agent team, or run any coding agent on the cloud with dangerously skip permissions.

I’m also working towards a more general-purpose agent setup that can connect to channels such as email, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, Buzz.

Elixir is perfect for stuff like this, very cool project!
