Re:Ask HN: What are you working on? (November 2026) on Monday November 09, 2026 @03:12PM (#50431262)
I've been working on MeshLive, an open-source app for voice/video calls and livestreaming over Bluetooth mesh without internet. Nearby phone relay to extend the range.

Started with Android, but now have iOS, macOS and Windows versions too. Android app just went live on the Play Store after months of work. Still pretty experimental, but it's been fun getting live video working over BLE.

tried the claude code delegating and codex doing workflow with sol 6.1 xhigh and even that messes up my codebase still find lots of problems and half baked assumptions codex makes. wonder how you are doing that while integrating luna too..
just 13%? mine still eats up like 32 and I am on the max 20x plan
yeah, and if authorities themselves are inciting violence, cutting off comms just makes things worse. from the govt's POV it might seem easier than actually addressing people's grievances, but certainly not better for the people.
seems like the response is always to restrict the means of communication rather than deal with those actually organising violence. BBM back then, social platforms now.
exactly. and soon possibly decentralized apps/sm too like bitchat blew up during the protests.

Agreed. Been experiencing this firsthand with an app I've been building myself. Vibecoded a working prototype ridiculously fast but then came the optimization issues. Since mine is very hardware dependent every different brand, oem stack, processor, video card, and every little thing changes how my app functions and a lot of it isnt even documented properly. Now AI is still very useful here, but you actually need to know what even to ask and fix in the first place
