What it does

Bloka uses AI object recognition to turn everyday items into focus triggers. Point your camera at your laptop, coffee mug, or a book — Bloka recognizes it and instantly blocks apps like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. Scan again to unlock. Unlike blockers that rely on willpower or expensive hardware, Bloka creates a physical ritual with zero setup. No NFC tags to buy, no devices to charge. Just pick any object and start focusing. Your environment becomes your accountability partner.

    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
