Mini Apps Builder – a no-code way to build Telegram mini apps

Hi HN I’ve been building *Mini Apps Builder*, a small no-code tool to help people create Telegram mini apps and simple web apps without writing code. The idea came from experimenting with Telegram mini apps — they’re powerful, but the tooling can be difficult unless you’re already a developer. This project aims to simplify that with templates, basic payments, and quick deployment, so people can focus more on the idea than on setup. I’d really appreciate feedback from anyone who has built Telegram bots or mini apps, or thoughts on whether this solves a real problem. Happy to answer questions…

    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
