Ask HN: What are you working on and why is it cool?

Risk analysis at a large firm. I get to see the same slice of (almost) every nation-wide project, on a breadth I would not have imagined.

For me it's cool because I'm learning more about hardware -- I studied maths, so not really focused on physical things. For the world, I think/hope it's cool because it's the first open implementation of the new FIDO2 standard, which means strong two-factor authentication protecting against phishing, and perhaps one day soon also strong first factor auth (the standard supports it, but I'm not aware of any major service that does).

Edit: grammar

Doqume (http://doqume.com) It's a way to search text documents by specifying complex semantic conditions on items that have to be matched instead of simple keywords.

I think it's interesting because 1) it is challenging and it involves a lot of NLP (which I like) 2) I believe it's novel or at least I have not seen the same concept around.

Whether or not it is actually useful to somebody remains to be seen...

currently working on a todo list app for iOS. None of the popular ones have any stats! No Progress bars or charts! Most just offer a simple linear graph that shows how many tasks finished in a day which doesn't really tell you anything. I find those apps to be slightly better (sometimes worse) than pen & paper equivalent. Infuriating when you want to plan out things and theres no simple UI to do that. I realize I can do most of these things in google sheets but sitting down and creating a template for sheets and maintaining it is a lot of work when you consider how bad the UX is going to be...
