'Ask HN: What Are You Working On? (August 2026)' Draws 916 Comments — the Broadest Read on What Indie Builders Are Actually Shipping
Hacker News·medium signal
The monthly thread hit 264 points and 916 comments, making it one of the highest-comment-count HN items of the last 48 hours and a raw, unfiltered census of solo and small-team projects. Unlike Show HN, there's no launch incentive shaping submissions, so the distribution of what people mention — which agent harnesses, which models, which stacks — is a cleaner adoption signal than any vendor survey. Worth scraping directly rather than reading top-down, since the comment sort buries most of the long tail.
