Would love just for fun to feed this through an image generator to make it look like satellite imagery or maybe even Google Maps.

Hey @pants2, I put something together for you. It's pretty rough, but if you take the time to respond here, that will be the motivation I need to clean this up and make it work properly. https://middle-earth-interactive-map.web.app/index.html?view...

Oof, zooming in on Fangorn Forest set off my trypophobia!

As much hate as vibe-coding gets (and most of it is justified), it has also allowed all of us to vibe-code our thoughts to small single-page web apps very easily. Shameless vibe-coded plugs for my own regular usage: 1. https://llm-token-cost-calculator.pagey.site/ 2. https://metrics-memory-usage.pagey.site/

Yeah, for sure. Vibe coding has it's place, I think. It's the people who pretend to build production-ready systems that are just hollow shells that give it a bad name. It is what it is. I vibe-coded this game and I take pride in it: https://frasermarlow.github.io/vibe-star-chase/

yep.. vibe-coding works, but, only up to a certain housands of lines of code max, that too, with bigger models.. beyond that, it starts to make absolutely stupid mistakes and starts to screw up with the architecture and general layout of the project all while leaving huge security holes. You need to guide it beyond that.

The first thing that poped in my head when seeing this: it must have taken quite some time to thoroughly go thought all this to make it. The developer must have a huge passion for LOTR. Seeing all the message that it was build using AI it hugely deminishes this feeling. Still a very nice looking map.

I don't mind people sharing their plugs about related things, but don't you think the connection here is a bit far-fetched?

Imo we're past the point where being vibe-coded is an interesting link. This is a thread about an interactive map of middle earth — not about vibe-coding, token usage or anything like it. Imagine if everyone posted their vibes projects now...

You're right. I got too excited to share. Couldn't delete now because of HN rule (1 hour), but will keep in mind. Thanks..
