    Reading your comment it sounds like you're asking the author to do more work to potentially/likely undercut their own sales. They are already offering a quality device at a reasona…

    I got most of this done in Opus (dunno version, started in early spring) but yeah. Having something to do the heavy lifting was damned helpful.

    If you're interested, reach out. Depending on the scale of your system(s) and how much is already in OSM I might be able to spin one of these up for you without much work. ( https:…

    If I have good service their mobile app is actually pretty quick, but I don't want to join their wifi so... Yeah. :\

    Gosh, having tried to use the Home Depot app (to find products in store) while IN their stores... It's so bad. I can't even imagine what you dealt with in trying to handle those th…

    Thanks! Sorta kinda... But also different. The main idea was to solve the gap of how many trail systems have colored loops, or signed/colored loops made up of multiple "trails", an…

    Thanks for that pointer. I have, but I just really don't want to do it... With my current architecture -- that I like -- it'd be an app per map. Which I guess could make a little p…

    This actually handles that, at least for my use case. Specifically, on first load of the page (in a browser, or the stripped-down browser that runs the app-like PWA install) a serv…

    Hello! And yeah... :\ The Android/Chrome/Edge support for it is great, and on iOS it's actually nice, but you have to do all the hoop-jumping of clicking Share, whatever, and getti…

    I like making maps, and I wanted to do a certain bend on a very specific kind of online map, filling a gap I noticed in existing maps. The idea of an app really appealed to me (at …

    Bluntly, cubicles are NICE compared to the massive distracting (but stylish) open plan stuff. From above they look sort of dystopian, but no one in your peripheral vision, reduced …

    Thanks! The idea came from using the Strava heatmap in JOSM to trace the proper location of mountain bike trails. I'm trying to use Strava less, and usually have ridden the trails …

    Three that have been really beneficial, and all support/build on a hobby / volunteer effort of mapping mountain bike trails: This one generates maps from OpenStreetMap data + some …

    You illustrate this nicely. Just something as simple as "that ceiling fan doesn't work so well, and squeaks once in a while when on high" can easily be remedied yourself when ownin…

    Thank you. It's really a simple concept: color them as the colour= tag is in the OSM relation, which matches the signs/markings on the trail. There's no reason why it couldn't be u…

    Show HN: Trailmaps.app – Mobile maps that match the trail

    I ride mountain bikes, build trails, do a lot of trail mapping in OpenStreetMap, and make print maps of the trails. Accurate trail maps are near and dear to me. And one thing I've …

    This feels a little weird because while they are running the website itself (HTTP) off the Pi, they are handing off all TLS to a cloud provider. So while the content is in RAM on t…

    When zooming in and it switches to the lighter color tiles, the icons basically become invisible.

    Client isolation is done at L2. You can't add exceptions for IP ranges / protocols / etc this way because that's up the stack. Even if devices can learn about each other in other w…

    Outside of security stuff, over the years I've found this really handy for troubleshooting as well. Being able to extract detailed process info, screenshots, and a bunch of other t…
