What it does

117 billion humans have ever lived. We remember maybe 10,000. POE 2026 is a year-long art experiment. Move your cursor, leave a trail of light, permanently recorded on the blockchain. No crypto experience needed — sign in with email. Draw for at least 10 seconds. Your trail joins thousands of others, forming a collective artwork. At the end of 2026, the canvas closes forever. What remains is permanent proof that ordinary people existed. Free to participate. Your time is the only cost.

Join the movement. Leave your immutable trace on the blockchain. A collective art project where every participant co-creates the final digital monument.

In the digital noise, we are ghosts—fleeting posts, disappearing stories, forgotten in the scroll. A year-long collective art experiment. Leave your trace. Co-create history. Prove youfrom proofexistence.com

    Finding the balance between humans and machines has been the thread through my career. I always had a thing for AI and couldn't wait for it to actually deliver on what was promised. Now it does, and it's more important than ever that humans and machines keep working well together. AI makes creation trivial. Text, code, design, strategy, in seconds. But one thing AI does not create: independently verifiable proof of when something existed. Reproducing is now cheaper and easier than creating. Chronology becomes contestable at the moment it matters most. The universal problem was known. I…

    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
