The Obvious Thing

What it does

Most apps try to help you decide This one assumes you already have The Obvious Thing shows you a single sentence when you open it No explanation. No encouragement. No tracking The free version shows the same sentence every time If you unlock it, the sentence rotates That’s it This isn’t productivity software It isn’t therapy It isn’t self-help It’s a mirror you didn’t ask for Some people find it irritating. Some people find it clarifying. Most people know immediately whether it’s for them

  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
