The Basic Phone
Somewhere between a smartphone and a dumbphone
What it does
A phone in between a smartphone and a dumbphone. It's to help you with social media addiction. It has all the basic features you need, plus key missing ones from current dumbphones, like two factor authentication, ride sharing, email, Discord etc. All the features you need, nothing you don't. It has a monochrome ePaper touch screen display with a keyboard. It runs Linux, and the project will be all open source, with modular components for ease of repair.

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
