What it does
NOTE: The project is currently in preview and it will change its name. You can give your suggestions about the name change here: https://github.com/warpy-ai/script/discussions/20 NOTE2: Most of the code in this project is written by a human, me. AI is used selectively to speed up repetitive tasks, generate initial drafts, and it wrote most of the documentation ( which will be reviewed and edited by a human more the project advances). Architecture, system design, and implementation decisions were hand-written, even more on wrong implementation/bugs. If you're against "AI Slop", consider move away from this project. After years of starting, killing, restarting, and refining, I finally…from docs.script-lang.org

Talanoa▲346Hi 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
