Ask HN: What are you working on? (June 2026)
I'm working on Freundebuch, a personal CRM.
I'm a long-time user of Monica (https://github.com/monicahq/monica/) but was unhappy that not much was happening. There is Chandler which is the next-gen version of Monica, but it has taken a direction which I don't like, as it is geared more to journaling. The thing that moved me to implement something myself was that the carddav interface duplicated the contacts in my address book.
I required a tool where I can put my contacts with all their details and also map out their relationships and put those details in my phones address book.
I'm dog fooding it already for as long as it was working, and I'm delighted with it.
I'm happy to hear feedback.

Ask HN: As a hobbyist developer, what are the odds of getting hired as a pro?
I've created some OSS projects, one of them being Monica [1], an open source CRM which pops up sometimes on HN. The project has more than 20k+ stars and a lot of contributors. I've also created other projects (OfficeLife [2], Bivouac [3]).
However, all these are passion projects, worked on at nights and weekends. My day job is about project management (currently a very senior position) at various big corps.
I would like to switch careers and become a professional full stack developer. I can't choose between backend and frontend since I've done everything on my projects. I only know Laravel, Vue 3, HTMX. I have to deploy my projects myself, maintain them myself, and design everything myself.
I'm not an expert in anything, but I know a bit of everything that is required to ship something that works.
That being said, what are the chances of being hired as a professional developer? Will I be taken seriously?
