haideralshamma··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (January 2026)
I am building an open-source, cross-platform desktop app for building and providing code-related context to chat based large language models. [1].

I found that sometimes I would rather interact with a chat interface to debug an issue or brainstorm architecture solutions in my repos. Agents are great for giving the model access to everything and letting it figure it out.

By manually prompting, it forces me to keep my metal model of the codebase up to date, and it allows me to provide just the context I want to the LLM.

haideralshamma··on Electron vs. Tauri
I am building an open source desktop app in Tauri [1]. One of the issues I encountered was having to duplicate and sync types between the TypeScript frontend and Rust. On the other hand, Rust proved to be a great language with a sizeable ecosystem for building application backends.
