    I'm working on a pure js webgl image editor with effects, filters, crop & perspective correction, etc. My goal is to give the community an opensource solution as unfortunately most comparable apps are closed sources. https://mini2-photo-editor.netlify.app to try it out (https://github.com/xdadda/mini-photo-editor)

    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
