Aurora-OS.js – a tiny OS-like desktop in JavaScript (try demo)
Hi HN — I built Aurora-OS.js, a lightweight, embeddable OS-style desktop UI written in plain JavaScript. It’s intended for demos, in-browser desktop experiences, and learning OS/desktop concepts without a heavy framework. The future of this project is a fully playable hacking simulator to be released on Steam and other marketplaces. Contributors & testers wanted!

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
