Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (July 2026)
What are you working on? Any new ideas that you're thinking about?
I started burning down the backlog of all the stuff I wanted to get to for side projects but never had time for (before LLMs): - https://smacke.net/ffsubsync -- automagically synchronize subtitles, now purely client-side in your browser thanks to pyodide - https://ipyflow.github.io/ipyflow/lab/index.html?path=demo.i... -- reactive python jupyter notebooks, again in the browser thanks to pyodide / jupyterlite - https://smacke.net/pipescript/lab/index.html?path=demo.ipynb -- magritter-like pipe / placeholder syntax for ipython / jupyter, again able to run purely in the browser - https://smacke.net/pycograd/lab/index.html?path=pycograd_sim... -- pyccolo and pipescript-powered autograd, once again able to run purely in the browser since numpy has a wasm target (notice a theme here :) )
