What it does

Alive is a lightweight safety status tool for people living alone. Unlike location/social tracking, it’s almost invisible: set a check-in timer and tap once daily; if time runs out or check-ins are missed, it auto emails tiered alerts to your emergency contacts. It’s instant to start (no sign-up), no location, minimal permissions, no irrelevant data. Contacts and logs are encrypted. Customize period, grace, reminder cadence, and quiet hours. Silent when you’re fine, loud when you’re not.

    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
