What it does

Air quality numbers don’t communicate how bad the air really is. ShowMeAQI turns abstract AQI values into a visual smoke screen so you can see what you’re breathing. It shows real-time AQI and pollution data (Weather, humidity, PM2.5, PM10, dust, Nitrogen etc) for your city, paired with a smog visualization that approximates real-world conditions. The smog effect is a visual approximation, not a scientifically exact model. This is a work in progress.

    Air Lab – A portable and open air quality measuring device2025 · networkedartifacts.com · ▲497

    Hi HN! I’ve been working on an air quality measuring device called Air Lab for the past three years. It measures CO2, temperature, relative humidity, air pollutants (VOC, NOx), and atmospheric pressure. You can log and analyze the data directly on the device — no smartphone or laptop needed. To better show what the device can do and how it feels like, I spent the past week developing a web-based simulator using Emscripten. It runs the stock firmware with most features available except for networking. Check it out and let me know what you think! The firmware will be open-source and available…

    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
