Ask HN: What are you building during the holiday break?

A time for family, or avoiding family, depending on the family. ;-)

I’m spending my break polishing Sentialytics.

It’s a tool born out of my own frustration with "heavy" HR suites. I’m convinced that frequency beats depth when it comes to team health, so I built a 30-second weekly pulse to track sentiment and operational friction.

Polishing my website (https://dvsj.in) and building a PRM for myself (CRM, but personal). I have a _very_ bad memory unfortunately!

[Request for help]

I'm also building a Mac app that helps automate frequent actions. Eg: 1. Open a URL in a browser, switch to tab if it exists already 2. Open a bunch of apps (VSCode project, Slack, Github on web) 3. Copy last error stack trace from Chrome 4. Open VSCode, switch to the terminal where Claude Code is opened

1, 2 are trivial with AppleScript.

How would you approach 3, 4? A browser extension and a VSCode extension that communicates with the Mac app might work, but wouldn't scale for more apps (and is a maintenance nightmare)

Hammerspoon maybe?

Building https://floxtop.com, a native Mac app that organizes your files.

It looks inside each file to see what it’s about, then moves it to the right folder for you.

Everything happens on your Mac, so nothing leaves your computer. No clouds, no servers.

It works in 50 languages (including English, German, French, Spanish, Swedish) and with images (OCR and object recognition), PDFs, Microsoft Office, ePubs, text, Markdown, and many other file types.

For messy folders anywhere on the Mac, Floxtop can help.

How do you make sure that the folder structure is helpful and it doesn't just shuffle my files around in places I will never find them?
