Show HN: What Are You Working On?

#1

Post by egcodes »

Hey HN,

I'm sure you've seen the monthly "Ask HN: What Are You Working On?" headlines on [Hacker News](https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...).

Honestly, it's my favorite topic because it's packed with insights about what other hackers are up to.

I wondered what it would be like if instead of just a headline, there was a whole website where hackers could post daily updates, and where we could follow the hackers we're interested in for their latest updates. And so, this web site was born.

I hope it gets used frequently so we can all benefit from it together. I look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Let me know what you think!

Excellent work! Such a nice complement to HN. Show HN is my favorite part of the site.

Would be cool if the headline was a link to the project :)

Thanks for sharing, just signed up!

Edit: Nvm it parses links in the title. Only thing is if it's in parenthesis it parses that e.g. "I am making the next big thing (https://example.com)" it will attempt to navigate to https://example.com) <-- with the paren

At the beginning I thought I'd find the same info as in a .plan file (discovered while reading Masters of Doom, where John Carmack explains what he's working on). It would have been super cool ! Unfortunately, your page looks more like a #buildinpublic twitter page which is not really insightful. Good luck with this project.

Masters of Doom is such a great book!

I signed up right away(as SeventhSeeker).

I like the fact that there's no comments section, so it's just about the people building projects rather than biased by what random unrelated discussions other people decide to have.

But feedback is still a thing, so I'm not really sure how to balance that.
