Dwm.tmux – a dwm-inspired window manager for tmux

In plain words

Dwm.tmux is a window manager for tmux that applies dwm-inspired design principles to terminal workflows. It organizes and manages tmux windows and panes in a tiling layout similar to the desktop window manager dwm. The tool is designed for developers and terminal power users who work extensively in tmux-based environments, particularly those using agentic workflows. The creator has actively maintained and used it as their primary terminal window manager for over a decade.

  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.

  isometric.nyc – giant isometric pixel art map of NYC▲1,325

  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
