  I've been a YNAB user for years but couldn't justify $109/yr for an app where I never used bank sync. So I built my own. ZeroSum is zero-based budgeting (same envelope method) with a full YNAB import wizard — bring your entire budget history over. 50+ currencies, shared budgets, analytics, keyboard shortcuts. $40/yr. Stack: React (Vite + TanStack Router) on Cloudflare Pages, Hono + tRPC on Render. Happy to talk about the technical decisions. Try it free for 35 days: https://zerosum.so

  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
