I'm trying to do a deep dive on RAG/LLM based apps since I didn't had the chance yet.

I'm building a chat-assistant that will be able to discuss with you and find more about what's your current work status and what you're looking for. Then it will suggest best suited roles for you from the HN Who's Hiring threads.

It's still very early, I've managed to index the latest thread and there's a CLI chat tool to discuss with the LLM.

It's been great because I learned a ton already, about LLM deployments, RAG evaluation, prompt engineering, LLM internals, etc.

I'm working on https://techposts.eu - Hacker News for Europe. Focused on all the interesting and exciting happenings in tech here, from AI to defence to deeptech, and posting the most interesting job openings too. Did you know Europe had two space launch startups? I didn't until I started this project! Feedback very welcome :)

Hi! Are you looking for a collaborator? I had a list of European companies divided by sector, that follow GDPR rules, with 1.2k stars on GitHub, currently deleted because I wanted to create a website, where people can search also for jobs and projects proposed by those companies, we can make a section of your projects related to it, let me know, please. I really love your idea!

Building an AI Hacker - https://aisafe.io

After years of manually reviewing thousands of lines of code, I realized the demand for security expertise is vastly outpacing the supply, and AI-generated code is only accelerating this gap.

I don't believe "generate secure code by default" is a problem we'll solve anytime soon, if ever. So I'm building an autonomous solution to help restore the balance.

Planning to launch very soon - keep an eye :)

I'm working on a Log analyzer, something that doesn't choke on huge files. I ended up building something that can open a 50GB log file in 8 seconds and not eat your RAM, while maintaining 60fps when scrolling.

All this with a native C++ engine (able to run on Windows, Linux and MacOS) with a Flutter UI.

With additional features that DevOps teams and SRE can use like Live SSH tailing, JSON analysis and formatting, context aware search with regex, text, and search via JSON fields. All those things also performing incredibly fast - analysing a 5GB file for JSON logs takes about 2s on my laptop.

Still in beta currently, with about 70% of the functionality done! You can find more here https://getstrata.co.uk/ :)

I'm experimenting with a local-first autonomous agent system on Windows.

The interesting part for me hasn't been the UI or demos, but the engineering problems: how planning compares to step-by-step tool-calling, how state drifts over long tasks, and how fragile things get once you add retries and recovery logic.

Mostly learning by breaking things and trying to make the system more predictable.

I have been building Olyetta.

It's an AI interviewer that helps you record YouTube and podcast interviews in a more natural way.

You can set an agenda list of itemes to be interviewed about and it helps you speak naturally on camera.

I made a free demo available. Let me know if you think that's a good idea?

A different type of job search site that gathers job postings direct from company websites. About 1 in 4 jobs are not advertised on any sites (like LinkedIn or Indeed) but they are found going direct to company career page.

Side note: I found my last gig using this method so have now built it into a web app. It is a paid service but feel free to DM me for a free trial.
