In plain words

CleanCloud is a cloud cleanup tool designed for users who want to organize their cloud storage without risk. It identifies duplicate files, unused applications, and old backups across cloud services, then presents recommendations for deletion without actually removing anything. Users can review suggested cleanups, understand what would be removed, and decide whether to proceed. This approach makes it ideal for people concerned about accidentally losing important files during storage optimization.

Like tfsec for Terraform or trivy for containers — CleanCloud finds orphaned resources in AWS, Azure, and GCP and enforces hygiene gates in your CI/CD pipeline before waste reaches production. No deletions, no tag mutations, no side effects — ever. Pass security review on day one. Safe to run against any production account. Commit a cleancloud.yaml to your repo. Exceptions, thresholds, and tag rules live in git — every approval is version-controlled and reviewable. CI enforcement with fail_on_confidence and fail_on_cost thresholds. Runs entirely in your environment. No data leaves your perimeter. No credentials stored externally. Fits any enterprise security posture. Every…from getcleancloud.com

    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
