Re:Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (December 2025) on Sunday December 14, 2025 @12:25PM (#46264823)
I am busy with my AI personalized storybook maker https://storybookai.art/

and also I am trying to find some time to improve the minimal month planner https://printcalendar.top/

I might consider adding a backend server at some point, but I'd still want to keep the tool as simple and privacy-friendly as possible.

Right now everything works fully offline, and that's part of the appeal.

If I do add a backend, it would only be for optional things like syncing or sharing — and it would stay opt-in so the core experience remains local-only.

Still exploring the balance there, but thanks for the idea!

Thanks! Yes, everything is stored locally in the browser — no backend at all.

And that’s a great idea. I’ve been thinking about adding an export/import option, and encoding the data into the URL hash actually fits the “offline + privacy-first” vibe really well.

I’ll explore it — would be super useful for sharing or backup without requiring any server.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I will do it later
Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Yep, it’s responsive — though the layout gets a bit tight on very small screens, so I’ll tweak that later.

About the “list above or below” part — what kind of list were you thinking of? Like a separate to-do list outside the calendar, or just more space for notes?

Curious to hear what you meant!
