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

Idea: lightweight & high performance remote desktop that connects easy-to-carry apple devices (macbook air/neo or ipad) to mac mini.

I use Splashtop for WFH and apple vnc at work for servers and they are so slow

I am developing an agent to prompt 45-minute break intervals during coding sessions or AI interactions

I build a service where you can access all zonefiles (domain lists) for all domain zones.

Current stats: 365M+ domains in 1580+ zones

I work at a small security startup on a project im pretty passionate about.

We are building open source tools to reduce how much sensitive stuff and power apps keep in one place.

One project is TideCloak, a Keycloak fork that keeps the familiar dx but changes the security model underneath: https://tide.org/tidecloak

Another is KeyleSSH, a keyless SSH/PAM prototype where there is no private key file sitting around as one thing to steal: https://github.com/sashyo/keylessh

Most of what I'm thinking about now is dx. Security tools dont matter much if normal devs cant understand, debug, or actually want to use them.

I'm continuing to expand my own deep learning library [1] (PyTorch-clone built with Python and Numpy) to support LLM post-training techniques like supervised fine-tuning (SFT) [2] and reinforcement learning with GRPO [3] . It's a good learning experience to work without all the high-level abstractions to "build a wheel" and "use that wheel to build a car". Post-training results are still cooking, since training on my MacBookPro is quite slow with "unoptimized PyTorch" :)
