Picture Kit
I’ve been working on a side project for a while and wanted to share it with the HN community to get feedback. The idea started simple: I wanted to do batch image processing entirely in the browser without uploading anything to a server. Most existing tools were either cloud-based (privacy concerns, slow for large batches) or desktop apps that were hard to automate and combine into workflows. A big source of inspiration was macOS Automator. I really liked how you could chain small actions into repeatable workflows, and I wanted something similar for image processing on the web. At first it…

What it does
PictureKit is a privacy-first image processing tool that runs 100% locally in your browser. Your images never leave your device — no uploads, no data collection, and no server-side processing. It includes 30+ image tools such as resize, crop, compression, background removal, face blurring, and watermarking, and allows you to chain them into batch workflows for automated processing. Ideal for creators, e-commerce sellers, designers, and anyone who cares about keeping their images private.

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
