Block distractions based on your task, not time.

What it does

Most distraction blockers depend on timers and blocklists that are easy to bypass. This Chrome extension works differently. You tell it what you are working on, and it blocks anything unrelated for as long as that task is active. No schedules, no resets. YouTube is made task-safe instead of fully blocked by hiding Shorts, recommendations, comments, autoplay, and thumbnails, while keeping useful search results and videos. Everything runs locally with a simple setup and clear blocking logic.

    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
