Tolerance
Makes your feed progressively boring until you leave
What it does
Tolerance is a browser extension that scores every post in your feed by how hard it's trying to manipulate you, then blurs the worst offenders. The longer you scroll, the more gets blurred. You leave because you're bored, not because an app blocked you. Why it works: Blocking apps fail because they create craving. Tolerance uses extinction instead: remove the reward, and the habit fades. You still open Twitter. You just close it in seconds because there's nothing there. BYOK, YT, Insta, reddit.

I wanted to find a way to use Instagram without ending up scrolling for two hours every time I open the app to see a friend's story.

So, I extended the app to cover these as well. To avoid replacing the scrolling for regular feeds, I also added a feature that shows a pop-up when…

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
