TabDogJan 2026 · github.com · ▲102Hey everyone! I have a bad habit that I always end up with dozens of browser tabs and apps open at the same time. It gets so messy that finding one specific website becomes a nightmare. So I developed a extension + macOS menu bar app for myself and after using it for a while, I found it is much more better than I expected, so I decided to package it and release it as open source, completely free! I'd love to hear your feedback and looking forward to improve our app together!

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
