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

I’m building a watchlist for tracking pretty much any kind of datapoint - stocks, weather, air quality, macro indicators, and more:

It started as a curiosity while I was exploring some economic data. I wondered if there was a simple way to keep an eye on a particular datapoint over time, which led me to the broader question: could I have one watchlist for all the different numbers I’m interested in?

It started out as a weekend project. I’ve been finding it surprisingly useful to use myself these days, and I’m continuing to explore where it could go. Would love some feedback on it from the folks here!

I made a little plant that sits in the corner of my Mac and wilts when I don't take breaks. https://heymossy.com

I've ran into so many problems trying to get a nice setup for my local development that matches similar to our production setup. I usually have completely separate docker compose setup locally, and a kubernetes setup of some kind in production.

These behave fairly similar, until I need to work on the ingress, or network policies, or anything else that is kubernetes specific.

I've finally taken the plunge into running it all locally on k3d, and have a pretty nice setup now with the manifests syncing with ArgoCD.

I'm thinking of packaging it up into a justfile and documenting it, but wondered how other people work on these sort of things. Do you just accept the shortcomings and test in staging envs for kubernetes specific changes?

I'm trying to find my focus again. After using AI agents for about a year, I've lost my ability to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes.

Love this idea! One of the rare tech products nowadays that induce optimism. Eagerly waiting for the Android release.
