Ask HN: What are you building as a side-project or side-hustle in 2026?

    Building an AI Hacker - https://aisafe.io After years of manually reviewing thousands of lines of code, I realized the demand for security expertise is vastly outpacing the supply, and AI-generated code is only accelerating this gap.

    I don't believe "generate secure code by default" is a problem we'll solve anytime soon, if ever. So I'm building an autonomous solution to help restore the balance.

    Planning to launch very soon - keep an eye :)

    Side project for fun, without profit. I'm building a manually curated catalog of videogames made by the HN community:

    I started developing a SaaS for pasture poultry producers like me. We have laying hens and on summer we raise broilers and keeping records and organizing work was painful last season. We used Google Sheets but it’s easy to forget to update those. I’ve vibe coded it few evenings and gotten much further than I anticipated.

    My goal is to get some revenue from this during next year. But if I don’t I still have one very happy daily user: me!

    App can be found from www.pasturegg.com

    A self-hosting ecosystem with apps and services to do everything from file sharing, to email, and dynamic DNS. It's Javascript based and runs in node, but I've also got it running under Android and in a regular web browser (the web browser one needs requests forwarded to it). The whole goal is to make self-hosting really easy, cheap, but also capable. It's got a long way to go, but I've already posted a few articles on HN that are hosted on it.
