Lytics – open-source Web Analytics with Heatmaps

Hey HN, I built Lytics because other offerings don't let you compare dimensions (all functionality is crammed into a SPA) and I wanted segment-able click tracking with accurate heatmaps. Lytics uses the Quarkus web framework, clickhouse for the backend, and it has a query transpiler for the reports and heatmaps. Heatmaps use a custom renderer I built, and for the best possible experience they overlay directly on your website, no iframes are used. It's open source so you can dive into the code or host it yourself. Live demo here:…

    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. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    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
