  • Pinecone Explorer – Desktop GUI for the Pinecone vector databaseJan 2026 · pinecone-explorer.com · ▲31

    2 weeks ago, I posted chroma-exploter here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46624731 and it received a lot of positive feedback. So I decided to build a similar tool for Pinecone. While both being vector databases, Pinecone is more enterprise grade and a lot more functionally rich than Chroma, hence a separate app. This Mac native app makes it easier to work with Pinecone data, with all types of indexes (dense, sparse and hybird) and supports reranking.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    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
