What it does

Constant DMs and private threads kill deep work. You're always interrupting someone or being interrupted, never sure if you're in the loop. Cleariest changes this.

The first team chat for founder-led startups and small teams that want calm, transparent communication. Deep Work Mode, public-first channels, and AI catch-up built in.

    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 wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
