mighty3xoduson Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (April 2026)

Building 1 small and 1 ambitious:

1. Ambitious: ClutchTop - an opensource ai harness (desktop app) similar to claude code desktop app built in electron. It's to the point where I've started to use the app to build the app. Still in v1 though.

https://github.com/veejayts/clutchtop

Building this because I want both chat and agentic interface to use different models via openrouter/local.

2. Miscellaneous PDF/img/doc tools (compression/merging/rotation, more to come) on the browser as a static web page.

Try it here: https://veejayts.github.io/pdftools.html

Built this because I don't want third party tools to have access to my document data, especially for compressing identity docs for government websites.

Thank you!

Thank you for the suggestions! I will for sure take it into consideration.

The scanner itself is from another open source project, the only one which was a viable option. I'll have to look into OpenNoteScanner's scanner if I were to improve mine. Seems people are happy with the edge detection it offers.

Thank you :)

I'm not sure that it can...

None. Any suggestions? Because most of the state manipulation is done in a single screen.

True. Have started the process. Hopefully it builds without much problems.

There are no OCR capabilities. Just managed to get a good cropper implemented with perspective cropping. There were very few options of which only one was viable.
