Ask HN: What are you currently building?

A couple of Twitter bots:

* https://twitter.com/hn_frontpage displays Hacker News top 30 (to deal with ranking volatility, an article is tweeted once a day) and has both article link and discussion link. Haven't found an existing one that is both the front page and the discussion link.

* https://twitter.com/tic_tweet_toe for people to play games of TTT. It remembers each person's W/L/D record.

Working on a web version of cribbage that isn't a Java applet.

Researching idea for my next bootstrapped company.

A pushd / popd like utility except that it works globally. You aren't restricted to having each terminal with its own stack; it's a global stack. I found this to be a much quicker way to navigate the terminal.

It uses shared memory to store the stack, thus making it "global". Still needs some polishing.

Check it out. feel free to give feedback, pull request, whatever.

Cool! I tried to sign up and keep getting an error about my password not meeting your requirements.

I've been slowly working on a new UI toolkit designed to provide first class mruby support, provide linear programming constraints for layout, use openGL rendering via nanovg, and use a variant of qml (dsl using reactive properties) for widget definitions. Qt was nice for some initial prototyping, but given the scope of some user interfaces that I'm developing a new toolkit seemed justifiable. The old pain points mainly included ease of scripting, performance, and easier custom widget definitions (mainly for data visualization).

Over the Christmas break, I got macros working in Full Metal Jacket. There's one more thing I need to do to make the language easier to program in, and a few loose ends to tidy up. I'll update my web page (http://web.onetel.com/~hibou/fmj/FMJ.html) soon to reflect this.
