I have made so many progressive milestone on an ambitious cpp game engine-still chugging along after about 8months of parttime work on it. Very fun.

We are working on https://huntyourtribe.com, portfolio-first ATS for hiring
For decades, we have been using resumes as primary people discovery tool. frankly speaking, no one likes to update boring resume stuff. We thought why can't we discover people by more signals, deep lens which a personal website/portfolio gives.
This gives people motivation to keep portfolio website upto date with journaling.
ATS automatically captures all signals realtime from github, blogs, case studies docs comprehensively and showcase to employers
We are approaching not AI heavy way. Balance of SAAS + AI integration to build it into people hiring platform.
Would love blunt feedback from others
and a gift for my friend's birthday.

I’ve been building an open source command-line based co-writing agent tailored for non-technical use cases.
I have a dream that any time you have to input info into a website/app you have an option to do it via voice conversation instead of typing.
Obviously it would be a dystopian nightmare to have everyone yelling inputs into their phone on the sidewalk, but at certain times it would be extremely useful (while driving, etc.). It allows for a crazy level of accessibility, and sometimes I just want to not stare at a screen or type anymore.
With that in mind I made https://veform.co. Still a million miles from the dream but it has working demos and a playground to code different form conversations in.
I'm working on Prompter Hawk, which is a dashboard for managing your local coding agents like Claude Code, OpenAI Codex, and Gemini's cli. It's my answer to the problems you encounter when trying to run multiple claude code's in parallel across your terminal windows.
- instead of chat conversations, you just create "tasks" which are non-interactive. If you're familiar with "claude -p", that's what it's doing.
- All task outputs, like a list of files changed and a git commit, are attached to the task.
- The main dashboard is designed be a glanceable view of everything your agents are doing, at the right level of abstraction for heavy parallelization of your tasks.
- task data is all tracked and persistent so you can open a project a month later and get the same set of agents you were working with before (as opposed to keeping terminals open forever)
- some analytical views like counts of your LOC, commits, and tool calls. Also a timeline view so at the end of the day you can get a visual of how much time each of your agents was working.
I'm struggling with marketing it but I do have a homepage and sales up at https://prompterhawk.dev/. You can try it for free.
I have a ton of sideprojects now thanks to agentic development and prompter hawk so I'm also working on (all unpublished for now):
- a WW1 military sim where an agent controls each soldier on a little simulated trench warfare battlefield
- tastemaker, a swipe-left/right app that tries to understand your "taste" so that you can export it to your agent workflows
- evosim, an evolutionary life simulator that runs on GPU with neural creatures that evolve body parts
- my-agents-talk-to-your-agents, a tiny unpublished social-ish network where you can have your agent talk to other agents there and get a feed later on of what they talked about

Working on Gaming Couch, a web-based local multiplayer party game platform. It's like a lovechild of Jackbox Games and Mario Party: https://gamingcouch.com. Three months ago, back in December, Gaming Couch hit the front page of Hacker News (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46344573). We've had an amazing time since, with each month more and more people finding the platform, enjoying the games and giving awesome feedback!
At the moment working on the 3rd party development tools so in the future anyone can make their game dev dreams a reality and make a simple and fun multiplayer party game for the Gaming Couch platform, ideally in only one weekend!
If you're an interested game dev that would like to beta test the dev tools, hit me up either here, via Discord (link available from https://gamingcouch.com) or by emailing me at gc[dot]community[at]gamingcouch[dot]com!
The TL;DR of Gaming Couch:
- Currently in free Early Access with 18 competitive mini-games.
- Players use their mobile phones as controllers (you can use game pads as well!)
- Everything is completely web-based, no downloads or installs are necessary to play
- All games support up to 8 players at a time and are action based, with quick ~one minute rounds to keep a good pace. This means there are no language based trivia or asynchronous games!
basically IT work. trying to "refactor" my home network, from wiring to the VLANs. created quite a few VLANs with plans for the future that I no longer remember and probably don't need anymore. and the wiring is very much spaghetti.

I've been learning more about game development by recreating Slay the Spire in Godot.
I'm working on the Hachi programming language (https://hdev.run).
It started a few years back. I wanted to modernize some C/C++ stuff (specific use cases, long story) and do some easy interop. And I didn't find exactly what I wanted, so I just built it. Additionally, creating a language means I get to express things the way *I* want to, and not be bounded to someone else's way of doing it, no matter how good. And over time, I started to consume features I like from other languages.
Initially, this was 100% *only* for me, and me alone. But I released it publicly later that year since I realized that maybe someone could get some use out of it. And most (if not all) of the things I work on aren't public, so figured it'd be an interesting experience to let it see some sunlight.
Hachi is in fact used for actual work, and is currently at v0.5. Not only do I use it for making tools, but I've also replaced just about all of the bash and python scripting I'd otherwise normally do with Hachi instead.
I make quite regular edits to the compiler and core lib modules, however the documents do lag behind slightly (I'm just one dude).
Anyways, this is my favorite passion project and I do plan to be at it for a long time, and now I want to share it with the HN community here!

I've got this new account and a Substack page where I'm writing about, idk... metaphysical stuff? Spirituality, religion, psychedelics, tarot, and so forth. I was inspired largely by the Weird Studies podcast, but there's a bunch of actually interesting writing and media in this space right now.
I deliberately separated it from my public internet persona (which is connected to my real name) in the hopes that I could write about weird, woo-y, or controversial topics without worry. I've got a few articles half baked and have been having fun engaging with a different subset of the Substack crowd than my normal tech focus would show me.
Of course the stats show that the one article I did that touches on AI has done an order of magnitude better than anything else.
Anyway this is just kind of a weird sideline project, a sort of release valve for stuff that wouldn't fit in on my "professional" site, but it's been a fun thing to spend some time on.
Another thing that's cool is that I largely stopped _writing_ a few years back. I always enjoyed writing but of course as a dev most of my stuff had a technical/tutorial bent to it. Writing weird little "what do I think" essays has forced me to exercise a writing muscle I really hadn't stretched for a long time and I've enjoyed it.
There's only a handful of things up now, it's nothing special really. Link in my bio, if you see something you like I would love to hear from you!
