I like this, but I really want something for flight times. I'm always curious just where I could get to for a weekend trip and a 6-8 hour flight.

#132We have developed a similar tool here: https://drivetimemapper.com/
We're turning on a free user account for people to try out: User: testuser@drivetimemapper.com Password: drivetimemaps
It was a side project for us that we thought was cool enough to be a standalone product.

#133My company created something quite similar a few years ago. We also have a tool http://www.city-data.com/MeetingPlace/ that allows you to find an optimized meeting place for two or more people based on the chosen mode of transportation (car, bike, foot).

#134This is almost identical to a drive-time site buffer in Esri Business Analyst (I’m a dev on that team). The next step is to create reports and infographics based on demographic data.

That works!

#137Earlier quoted context omitted.
The existence of an address is public. The relationship between an address and a hacker news account is typically not public. Providing this link can make doxxing significantly easier.
Sure, but the maps being enumerable doesn't reveal a relationship between an address and a specific Hacker News account. The maps being enumerable doesn't seem to be noteworthy.
Let's say you write that you are from Seattle in your profile and post a comment immediately after. Someone could check the recent maps that start in Seattle.

I've been looking for a tool like this for ages! Are there plans to support the UK? All that happens is I get the "Something went wrong" message currently.

#139I think this may be modeling the map as distance per radian, which doesn't really work.

#140Nice. Me and two partners had something like this in 2012. We tried to sell it to zoopla/rightmove/etc but none of them were interested. We integrated it with stuff like supermarkets, clinics, gyms, etc and allowed you to build quite complex searches with multiple locations and constraints. It was called locatable.com and is now thoroughly dead. I wish you luck monetising this somehow!
I'd love to have such a feature in RightMove or Zillow, to be able to search properties within say 30 minutes drive from work, instead of just faffing around in Google maps trying to guesstimate.
