Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?

I'm working on readjusting after getting married. It was a big wedding, and for a whole web of reasons I'd rather not post on a public forum, I was responsible for a lot of the cat-herding leading up to the big day. Best day of my life, and my wife and I are overwhelmed with joy. Yet, now it's been a week and I'm still sitting here thinking "...wait, what the hell was I doing 6 months ago?"

I started publicly inventorying and documenting my collection of vintage print advertisements (https://adretro.com).

The front end CMS is a combination of Notion and Super.so. The backend will be Lucee and MySQL.

I have many thousands of ads I want to catalog just to start. There are so many print ads, cataloging just a fraction will take a lifetime.

I'm developing a custom cataloging system that will allow me to process them more quickly and automate aspects of the management of the collection. I have in mind to eventually make the database available to other collectors.

Vertical tabs for firefox and lots of features. I use it myself in all my firefox profiles. It can be displayed as a sidebar or a popup. Which means you can use it in big windows and small windows.

I'm working on an invite-only, personalized medical education platform called MedAngle, particularly for emerging economies. I started it in my third year of medical school, and we're now at 90,000 doctors/medical students, along with over 100 million questions solved and billions of minutes spent studying and excelling.

I get to lead a team of 175 doctors and students across premed, medical, and dental education. I am the first doctor + full stack technologist in the country. It's super rewarding. No funding, just off our immensely low price point that things are still growing quickly. All software written in house.

I'm working on my tech interview platform: https://onlineinterview.io/ It is a free platform that allows people to develop on the browser using multiple programming languages, draw on a shared board and talk over video.
