Testudo: bad-news blocker

What it does

People get bombarded with news articles that continuously have a negative impact on mental health. We all know that we live in a time of exceeding cases of depression and anxiety. I wanted to help out and built this AI-powered Chrome extension that blocks “harmful” content in news articles. People are naturally curious and will always want to follow the news; however, we need to protect our peace of mind in an ongoing war for attention.

  I created a Chrome extension that block media giants in Google search2024 · chromewebstore.google.com · ▲27

  There has been many recent discoveries (including the leak) about how 16 media companies dominated Google Search results, abusing their status to rank very high on a bunch of garbage they put out. And like that saying goes, I can't change the world, but I can change myself. I don't want to look at their bullshit anymore when I search for food recipes or product reviews. So this extension is my way of protesting. Full write up: https://thesolofoundernewsletter.com/p/secondpage

  isometric.nyc – giant isometric pixel art map of NYC▲1,325

  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
