Ask HN: Show me your half baked project

Local-first personal task management with estimation.

This is a python-syntax re-imagining of Ansible / Cookiecutter: declarative IT automation and project templating. It's fairly early, but the heart of it is there: I'm able to create files/directories and render templates, running it displays status, I have most of the "magic" implemented that makes it less like Python and more like Ansible. The CLI entry-point is minimal, I need to basically forklift over the uPlaybook1 argument handling code and playbook search/selection.

Would love feedback from someone who is familiar with Python and Ansible about the direction of the YAML -> Python for playbook syntax, but I worry that it's too early to even give that.

Basically it's uPlaybook (v1) but with the Ansible-inspired YAML playbooks reimagined as Python: https://github.com/linsomniac/uplaybook

It's two of us trying to improve Rusts XML offering, by implementing an XSLT processor and all that entails. I'm working on the parser at the moment, I have DTD entity expansion working but still need to figure out UTF-16 support and validation of DTDs. I'm probably going to focus on XML ID support next.

Any help, feedback, suggestions would be appreciated!

I find that most of what I do, on any given day, is finding interesting stuff and sending it to people to see what they have to say about it. Hackernews is pretty effective at doing this, so it feels like i’m more or less building hackernews but with power-user features for collecting and sharing stuff.

I imagine in the future being able to group content and then synthesize it with AI to get a draft of something you have been wanting to write.

http://www.Earsmith.com is a "completed" (but unpublicized and probably only used by me) project I'm proud of — it's for training your pitch sense.
