I’m working on Descartes[^0]. First to help diagnose what’s wrong with a machine. I’ve started implementing actual background monitoring of the system, and next will be letting an agent build its own layers of tailor-made deterministic rules and statistical models, to "learn" what the system’s normal behaviour is and only "wake up" the agent when something unusual is going on. Either to update its rules and models, or alert the user. Like the ship’s AI at the beginning of Absolution Gap. Next will be enabling it to serve as the interface for the system. An ops "point of contact" for both the user and their agents for the machine / fleet of machines it’s in charge of. ——— I’m also working on third thoughts[^1], a tool that analyses local agents logs to find patterns and behaviours, identify what works, what doesn’t, how they evolve over ti

me, using deterministic and statistical methodologies and techniques from multiple domains (including, to my surprise, genetics and psychology / sociology), with an agent layer that interprets the results. I’d like to add a "federative" layer where people can contribute the results, patterns, and findings, without leaking their logs or personal / private data, so that we can all better learn how to identify failure modes, predict them, and see what works and what doesn’t. ——— I’m also having Claude & Codex revive Jasonette[^2], which died off and was turned into some weird paid unrelated thing by those who picked it up. I’d been meaning to but never took the time. But now with agents… All rebuilt in Swift / SwiftUI on the iOS side, and Kotlin on the Android side. Some features are still missing, but it works quite well! [^3]. ——— Oh, and Boucle[^4] is doing its thing on its own. No idea how it got to 100 GitHub star. My "autonomous dog-fooding expensive pet" is apparently more "internet successful" than I’ve ever been. And quite a few other side projects. ——— [0]: https://github.com/lightless-labs/descartes [1]: https://github.com/lightless-labs/third-thoughts [2]: https://github.com/Jasonette/JASONETTE-iOS [3]: https://github.com/Bande-a-Bonnot/JASONETTE-Reborn [4]: https://github.com/bande-a-bonnot/boucle-framework
In Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)

I agree with native apps not being useful for many cases. However I don't think that means the old web is the future. It is true that companies like Patagonia don't need a native app. In fact, most native apps from large media companies and brands are unnecessary. However, I also think the "native app" form factor has not been explored to its full potential. There are definitely a lot of benefits to apps being native, and they're not what most people think. One of the most under-appreciated reason is that you have a dedicated icon you can press to enter a new world. This works both ways, because in the current world we live in, people don't want a "dedicated icon" for every single brand they engage with. But this is where my point starts: People use bookmarks because they want to easily access things they frequently use. The problem is, t

he appstore is filled with apps that people don't use frequently enough and don't care enough about. We are forced to "bookmark" every single app we download. That's why people don't like clogging up their "bookmark screen" and end up deleting apps. On the other hand, I think there are tons of potential apps that are NOT being built, that I would be happy to keep on my home screen if they existed. For example, let's say I visit a certain indie coffee shop every day. I would download their app if they had an app that makes my life easier. For example they could have a Starbucks-like app where I can order stuff easily without staying lining up. Also, I would download an app that's super customized for a community I am very attached to. Then why don't we have these apps in real life? The problem is these organizations and small coffee shops and our small interest groups don't have time and money to build these apps. And not even considering time and money, they just don't want to bother since they have a lot on their hands already. I think, once we make it extremely easy to build an app (and I'm not even talking about all the "app builders" out there. It should be as easy as copy and pasting MySpace scripts), we will have more useful and personal apps that people would actually want to keep on their screen, just like a bookmark. We are just not there yet. I've been working on a project that's along this line of thought. It's basically a native app meets browser, where you can send an entire app over HTTP (just like websites), but it translates into 100% native components and native function calls. If you're interested check it out here: https://github.com/Jasonette/JASONETTE-iOS Would love to hear thoughts in the current thread context.
