Ask HN: What are you working on? (April 2025)

Working on my university degree. I failed my first one and now I got myself into a critical situation again. Started using Anki. I often put in the hard work of thoroughly understanding a subject but don’t profit off it because I don’t keep the understanding after that. I am working on improving that.

A bit of a mix between Pokemon Go, Tripadvisor/Wikivoyage and Duolingo.

Basiclaly an app where you can travel a city on a hex grid (h3) and learn about it/receive recommendations on things to do. Different activities and landmarks are hooked into language learning games, which when completed, add phrases/words to a flashcard deck for future study.

Recall Audio - A multichannel audio recording app that has your back, even if you forget to hit record.

Basically it continuously records into a buffer (length is configurable), and if you realize that you wanted to start recording 30 minutes ago you can recall the buffer and have everything saved.

In my work and an audio engineer I was in this situation a couple of times, and since there was no tool for that on the market, I’m building it.

I've been thinking about something like that. So the message is not stored, but if I scan it then it's in your HTTP server logs, isn't it?

https://mysukari.com - A Diabetes management platform

I got diagnosed with type 1 diabetes in Feb (technically LADA as it's late onset). I'm the first in my family with it so I had zero info on it. I tried getting some CGMs to use but most don't work in Kenya as they are geo-locked, and even apps for measuring carbs like CalorieKing are not available in my region. I was really frustrated with the tech ecosystem, and started working on My Sukari as a platform of free tools for diabetics.

I mostly get time to work on it on the weekends, so it's not yet ready for public use, but I've fully fleshed out one of the main features: Sugar Dashboard - A dashboard that visualises your Glucose data and helps you easier analyse it.

To help with demos, I've shared my Sugar Dashboard here: https://mysukari.com/tools/sugar-dashboard/peter

I'm really passionate about this and getting as much free, practical tools in the hands of patients (it honestly shouldn't be this hard to manage a disease)
