In plain words
Kiki for Mac is a productivity tool that helps users stay focused on tasks by monitoring app usage and providing immediate feedback when distractions occur. It allows users to select a focus task and specify which applications are allowed, then alerts them if they drift to off-task apps through visual cues like flashing lights or on-screen notifications. Designed for anyone struggling with procrastination or digital distractions, Kiki sits unobtrusively in the corner of the screen while working, aiming to help users actually complete projects they've started rather than getting sidetracked.

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
