The Cipher Lab

A modern playground for classical cryptography.

What it does

Existing sites offer all the same basic tools, which is fine, but I wanted to offer something more- something it felt like a real cryptanalyst could and would use, but still accessible even to absolute beginners. The Cipher Lab offers a comprehensive environment to learn about, solve and create your own ciphers. For beginners and experienced cryptanalysts.

    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
