What are your programming "hunches" you haven't yet investigated?
Do other Lobsters have any hunches that certain aspects of problem could be better solved by doing x, or applying y, but haven't had the time to investigate them or the confidence to rubber duck them? Hunches often create room for interesting discussions or new ways to think about problems.

Show HN: Is Hormuz open yet?
I built this because I was interested in the data. Didn't fully get it to what I wanted, but thought I'd share it nonetheless. Maybe someone has better data sources they could share! Turns out live ship tracking APIs are expensive so I manually just copied the json from https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais/home/centerx:57.4/cente... I'll probably have an ai agent do the same thing on some cron interval, if this gets any fanfare. To actually know if the port is open without live ship tracking I found https://portwatch.imf.org/pages/cb5856222a5b4105adc6ee7e880a... which was perfect, except it has 4 day lag! I also thought of adding news feed parsing or prediction market data to get a more definitive answer on if it's open right when you load it, but I spent a few hours and am gonna move on for now.
