Surfacing truth through open, human discourse

What it does

Hi guys, I just launched a robust MVP for a social media platform with eventual fintech elements. It lets users post and discuss ideas either publicly or anonymously, across everything from politics and technology to lighter prompts like would you rather. I am really proud of the UI and design, and I would love for you to check it out if you have time. I think it tackles the hard problem of truth in the modern world while helping surface collective human sentiment. Let me know your thoughts.

    LinkedIn sucks, so I built a better one2025 · heyopenspot.com · ▲470

    LinkedIn feels more like Facebook every day — noisy feeds, fake engagement, and everyone shouting into the void. Thats why I used to built a personal microsite on Squarespace and uploaded a video resume to YouTube to stand out - it helped me land interviews and get into Big Tech. But I always wondered: why isn’t there a platform designed to help you stand out like that? So I built OpenSpot: a public, curated platform where you can showcase who you are — with video, audio, and proof of your work. No endless feeds. No humblebrags.

    Hey HN, I'm soft launching my MVP today and would love to hear your honest feedback. For the past few months I've been working extremely hard on this side hustle in my spare time (I have a day job as a CTO).

    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
