#112Funny how I made almost exactly the same but for maps. I needed a way to share a link to a map, with drawings and the ability for the receiver to see their own location on the map. Annotated screenshots solves the first but not the second. Vibe engineered this, with many of the same ideas as OP. Took an evening. Just in time apps for one specific use case is a thing. And because it's so cheap to make and can be hoste…
> Vibe engineered While I'm all for vibe coding as appropriate, there's a lot of humor to be found it calling it engineering. :D
I just hope actual engineers don't start vibe engineering bridges and buildings.

#113I really like this from a privacy point of view. So much so that I'm thinking about adding a purely URL-storage solution as an option in my https://kraa.io editor.
From a privacy point of view, you might not want to use textarea.my since it includes some tracking bits at the end:
The tracking isn’t in the html, and as it’s static, you can host it any other way you like

#114The compression is nice, you can fit very long (low-entropy ;-) messages in there - this one is 9k characters:

#115I love this. Great little html page to refresh on Javascript.
For fun I put it in chatgpt and asked if there are bugs.
It warned about fromBase64() and toBase64() not existing in main browsers. It is supported but is indeed a new "baseline 2025"feature. It suggested more compatible code using two small functions to convert characters manually.
"deflate-raw is not consistently supported." It suggested using 'deflate' instead.

this is not something I came up with, Simon wrote it and I liked the differentiation between "vibe coding" where there is less effort
for this case project I think I would actually go back and say it's vibe coded, but I didn't want to just call it vibe coding because I did spend time going back and forth and directing the agent

Great tool! There is a little issue with the +/- zoom buttons not working something cause it is over layed by other div blocks. On mac firefox. Is the code open source online somewhere?
thanks for the info, I'll see if I can get a agent to fix it
it's a static webpage, the source is available with right-click view source, I added a BSD2 licence header to it to make clear it's fine to take and do mostly whatever with

This is so cool!! The responsiveness of the page is so much better than any maps app I have used.
yeah, isn't it impressive how fast modern computers can be if you make a bit of effort, in this case I think I told it to just use plain javascript and make sure it's fast :-)

I put a copy of the source on GH in case in case someone wants to improve things https://github.com/gnyman/mapdraw
