Perseus Sheild

Open-source browser sandbox to survive malicious links

What it does

Perseus Shield is an open-source browser isolation sandbox that lets you open untrusted links safely. It runs Google Chrome inside a Docker container with a virtual display and Web-VNC access, fully isolating browsing activity from your host OS. Designed for phishing, malware research, and everyday “suspicious link” hygiene — clone, run, browse, destroy. No VMs. No complex setup. Just Docker and a browser.

    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
