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

I developed a billing system for my own work and is getting some interest.

I've been building a landing page for Glance (https://glance-fi.app/) to figure out whether anyone actually wants this before I go deep on it.

It's a finance app (I know — another one, stay with me here) that skips budgeting entirely, instead tracking spending and trends.

It learns your spending patterns and flags anomalies — DoorDash doubled, weekly spending is above normal, a subscription you forgot about is still charging you, etc.

I've noticed a lot of coworkers and friends who earn a good living and don't have a desire to account for every penny. They know they should save, they put money in retirement accounts, and they don't want the complexity of a Monarch, Copilot, YNAB etc — they just want to have a handle on their spending.

I’m as interested in product feedback as website feedback tbh, given this crowd I figure I can get some good tips. Either way, would appreciate a look at the site.

Jazz (https://github.com/lvndry/jazz): A resourceful CLI assistant that actually does things. It uses a hierarchy of dedicated tools, system commands, and "Skills" to manage everything from your Git history and local files to your calendar and inbox. Built for speed, safety, and system-level resourcefulness.

Clausea (http://clausea.co/ - https://github.com/lvndry/clausea): Terms of services were not written for you...until now. Clausea makes it easier to understand and see the risks of the terms and policies of the products you use the most

I’ve been slowing building https://canine.sh for about two years now.

It’s a basically a full Heroku replacement, with a UI, CLI, etc, except running with a Kubernetes backend.

It’s fully open source. It was super annoying how delightful Heroku was, but how annoyingly locked-in and expensive it is.

I’ve been lucky to get a sponsorship from the Portainer folks so I can work on this full time!

> native interface

Why do devs relying on Electron insist on claiming they're "native"?

You know it's not exactly hard to check.
