Yeah just would be good on a codeberg or gitlab or maybe even github repo. So we can do PR. Here is the fix: .leaflet-top, .leaflet-left{ z-index: 100000; /* some high number */ }

hmm, I tried it on firefox and it works for me, and for me .leaflet-top already has a high z-index: 1000; although I run 140.6.0esr so maybe newer ones need a even higher one? the code is on GH now https://github.com/gnyman/mapdraw , codeberg is on my todo

Could try the hacky 2147483647 max z-index. No issue on android firefox

Interesting distinction. I've previously heard vibe coding described as "vibe prompting, but you actually do some work." That aside though, I just call what you're describing as coding with AI.

coding with AI is coding just as much as coding with VSCode is coding. you decide which parts you get help from a given tool and which you don’t. end of the day, it is all coding and “coding with AI” sounds as silly as “coding with keyboard / microphone”

The first part is exactly my point, but the latter is nonsense in my book. You cannot ask VSCode (pre-AI) to write a program for you. It's akin to doing math with AI vs. an Nspire CAS. There's no reason to think you need to respond to those who shame vibe coding with claims that we shouldn't differentiate our tools, but we also shouldn't just say it's all the same. We wouldn't claim that about farming with a laser-powered weed killer compared to farming with a horse-drawn plow.

Funny 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've been a fan of Design-Assisted Developer or DAD

Per the spec [0], a URL can hold at least 8,000 characters. > It is RECOMMENDED that all senders and recipients support, at a minimum, URIs with lengths of 8000 octets in protocol elements. Note that this implies some structures and on-wire representations (for example, the request line in HTTP/1.1) will necessarily be larger in some cases. Mainstream browsers support at least 64,000 characters [1], and Chrome suppor…

Chrome limit is 2MB, Firefox is 1MB, WebKit is no limit. Here is the Crime and Punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky: - https://medv.io/goto/crime-and-punishment-by-fyodor-dostoevs...

First time I tried to open that link on my Pixel, it crashed Chrome, lol. Worked the second time though

I 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.

Start writing / Leaf list Settings Press on "add tag to filter by" Type any character

Aand im dropped back to empty editor with just that one character visible

I did the same thing for running routes e.g. https://routespinner.com/@52.516247,13.379374,15z#route=cbp_...
