Ask HN: What are you working on? (August 2026)

I'm working on a painting of coneflowers and black-eyed susans from near where I live in New York City.

I've been building the most advanced automotive diagnostic app on the market

I used to be a mechanic, and spend a lot of my free time working on project vehicles, motorcycles, tractors, trucks etc. I wanted a tool to track the tasks I needed done, then a way to easily access VIN info for parts search, then I DMV records, and finally built an iphone app to scan the OBD2 diagnostic codes and hook them up to a custom ai diagnostic prompt.

It's been a blast to work on, I need to focus on marketing it and get some users that aren't close friends, but it's been serving my purposes this summer so far.

I've seen nothing with anywhere close to this depth of diagnostic reporting.

Hey! I just posted in this thread about my work on building a better CTrail app. I live in NYC - would love to get involved in this. Thanks for sharing!

Building a new tool that can analyze employment contracts and see if there are issues. Also gives the ability to ask labor questions across Canada
