Thanks for the work! It looks very good, it's a pity that it wasn't there when I read Tolkien the first 2 times.

#72This is so cool, I love it. Probably need to enhance the rendering so it doesn't feel as laggy when panning or zooming. But still amazing
Thanks. Performance will depend on your internet connection as it progressively loads the tiled images.

#75Mad respect; I've been working on building maps and it's a LOT harder than it might seem.
Honestly the hardest thing for this was getting the pins in the right place. I had Claude create a tool for me to get the location and have it correct placements. Even after a dozen 'pins' were on the map, it still had problems placing the next pin (relative to the ones it had). Claude has gotten better and honestly I had not figured out Claude in the browser when I built this.
Yes, I ran across that issue. There's also been the issue of collision avoidance for me! (By the way, check out the superpowers brainstorming skill and yume--implementer skill -- I would have gone insane without them)
