In plain words
This app monitors posture and automatically blurs the screen when it detects slouching. Designed for anyone spending long hours at a computer, it encourages better sitting habits by making the display unreadable until posture improves. The tool combines a simple premise with immediate visual feedback to promote healthier workspace ergonomics throughout the day.

From the sources
My posture is terrible when I spend long hours at a computer, so I built a MacOS app with the help of Claude Code to help keep my posture in check. This app will automatically begin blurring your screens if it detects that you are slouching. This new era of going from idea to somewhat polished app using tools like Claude Code is incredible. The cost to create a prototype and have fun is becoming extremely cheap both in time and money. I didn't want to deal with any of the drudgery of creating the repo, creating the release, making the installer nice, etc. I had Claude Code help me with all of those things. I just got to focus on the funfrom tomjohnell.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
