What it does
Video analysis with AI is expensive. 10-minute video at 1fps = 600 API calls. Compression ratio: ~3,600x — Traditional 1fps = 18,000 API calls (~$50+). VAM-RGB: 1 call, under a cent. That's it. No cloud upload, no FFmpeg server, no frame-by-framefrom github.com

VAM Seek – 2D video navigation grid, 15KB, zero server loadJan 2026 · github.com · ▲42Hi HN! I built VAM Seek because I was frustrated with 1D seek bars – you never know where you're going until you get there. VAM Seek renders a 2D thumbnail grid next to your video. Click any cell to jump. All frame extraction happens client-side via canvas – no server processing, no pre-generated thumbnails. - 15KB, zero dependencies - One-line integration - Works with any element Live demo: https://haasiy.main.jp/vam_web/deploy/lolipop/index.html Would love feedback!

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
