Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

Definitely my HN moderation browser extension, which lets me flip through HN super fast and do routine mod tasks without gruntwork.

If I live long enough, I will factor out a general-reader version of this that will bring joy to HN power users everywhere.

It requires a keyboard, though. Do the kids still use those?

I for one would happily use a keyboard to browse... If only...!
