Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)

A tool to allow your agentic coding tools understand what must always be true about your systems without having to constantly remind them.

I'm probably gonna create a cut down local version for open source.

In a world of AI coding it seems like we can create or copy almost anything. So after some denial I’m thinking let’s embrace that and bring back “view source”.

qip lets you write tiny WebAssembly modules in Zig or C and compose them together. The modules have a simple input -> output interface and cannot access anything else, no file system, no network, no env vars, not even the time. You chain modules together so the output of one becomes the input of another e.g. there’s a CommonMark module that converts to markdown-to-html. There’s a file-based router that lets you serve a website with these same modules.

I want these modules to be open and shared, so you can decide to have a `/view-source` page that lists all the wasm modules and all the source content (markdown, images, etc) and source code (zig, c). So you can choose to fork the ingredients of the qip website if you like: https://qip.dev/view-source

I chose wasm because it’s fast, runs anywhere (browser/server/native), and has a strong yet lightweight sandbox. I’m working on collaborative web hosting that I hope will bring back web 1.0 vibes.

I'm building a new version control forge around Jujutsu :). I think GitHub is pretty bad in its UX and I want to build something that is a) more opinionated than raw git; b) optimised more around team usage than GitHub is; c) uses nicer algorithms for diffing, merges; d) can be scaled slightly better than Git (in the context of entire teams of developers).

Essentially taking a lot of the good ideas already out there and turning it into a coherent product.

I made a launcher app - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nurgasemet... but can't stop thinking that most of people are not comfortable with changing their default launcher.

I'm working on the Hachi programming language (https://hdev.run).

It started a few years back. I wanted to modernize some C/C++ stuff (specific use cases, long story) and do some easy interop. And I didn't find exactly what I wanted, so I just built it. Additionally, creating a language means I get to express things the way *I* want to, and not be bounded to someone else's way of doing it, no matter how good. And over time, I started to consume features I like from other languages.

Initially, this was 100% *only* for me, and me alone. But I released it publicly later that year since I realized that maybe someone could get some use out of it. And most (if not all) of the things I work on aren't public, so figured it'd be an interesting experience to let it see some sunlight.

Hachi is in fact used for actual work, and is currently at v0.5. Not only do I use it for making tools, but I've also replaced just about all of the bash and python scripting I'd otherwise normally do with Hachi instead.

I make quite regular edits to the compiler and core lib modules, however the documents do lag behind slightly (I'm just one dude).

Anyways, this is my favorite passion project and I do plan to be at it for a long time, and now I want to share it with the HN community here!
