Traveling the World. One Country at a Time.

This feels like cheating.

People pay $30-$50 for custom city map posters on Etsy.

Someone just open-sourced the exact same thing for free.

It's called TerraInk.

Its a cartographic poster engine built on OpenStreetMap data.

Type a city. Customize everything. Download and print.

What you get:

→ Any city on Earth via OpenStreetMap
→ Roads, water, parks, building outlines
→ Full theme and color control
→ Custom fonts via Google Fonts
→ PNG export, print-ready

The whole thing runs in your browser.

No account. No subscription. No checkout.

Self-host it with one Docker command if you want it completely yours.

This repo/app makes animated “QR code” to transfer data at ~100 kB/s without using any RF signal. It uses 16 symbols * 4 colors, and 12400 tiles per frame to get 7.5 kB (+some error correction bytes) per frame. It has a beta mode thats > 1 Mbps and pbb could still be much faster.

I went looking for some good UI design inspiration

but instead, I fell down the rabbit hole of designers competing to create the worst UI possible

happy to announce I won't use any of these hilariously awful bangers:

How to identify ugly mass tourism places before you visit them?

In Europe, they usually have certain retail stores (e.g. Spar) or bars (Irish pubs).

But one thing defines them very precisely - quantity of Euronet ATMs.

These yellow/blue🟨🟦 ATMs are designed to scam tourists.

There are 312 of them in Mallorca🇪🇸

I downloaded all from Google Maps and made a heat map.

Knowing Mallorca well, seems to be accurate. Will try on more places.

Fun project made with @felt and @apify 🗺️⚙️
