Ask HN: What is the novel project that you have worked on or still working on?

Hi, Browsing the Show HN section mostly shows you projects where people made some microservice or a small tool. What is your project that you have worked on or still working on that can be world changing(according to you ofc) and how did you start doing it?

I am working on a Matrix simulation to host the world's first hosted Matrix, where you create your own universe, and populate it with a species that you have designed(only its characteristics), these species can be alike to humans. These agents will be trained to live with each other using deep RL, and then you can alter their lives however you like, maybe incarnate into their world. This project is still in development. Before working on this I have created a simulation environment in which you can create your own AI agents and compete globally. you can check it out on https://aiplaygrounds.in

I wrote an app for college students researching and writing a paper. It can open most files and website, where you can add highlights to them. Then, you can drag the highlights to its built-in outliner, where you can add comments creating what I call Notes. You can organize the Notes as you wish in the outliner and associate Notes with the sections of the paper you are writing. Finally you can write the the section referring to the relevant Notes while consulting the original file or website with a single click. Nobody bought it. I removed it from Apple's App Store, and I use it daily. It works for me. 13,000 lines of code in my spare time over 5 years. I'm disappointed.

Understand your disappointment. That sounds like a great app. ... but i often think it should be "if we build it AND market/communicate it well, they will come". (Maybe you did). Also could be bad luck on timing or a hundred other issues you cant control. Maybe it would be a final project for a prod dev MBA? (more time required /-: ). Good luck if you try to revive it
