Dungeon Map Doodler Beta - Free online map drawing tool▲157
This is a D&D map making tool I've been working on for a while now, but I just added some new features to the beta that I think HN users might find neat.

This came with a pretty large rewrite of some of the underlying code, so I'm sure there's a number of bugs I haven't come across, but I'd love to hear your opinions on it!

Map drawing tool where the map lives in the URL▲8
For the past 2 years, my girlfriend and I have been software engineers at CERN working for the ALICE and CMS experiments. A few months ago we decided to leave and focus full time on building our own products as we realised we'll never make the jump otherwise. Draw on a Map is the first one we've shipped and it already has nearly 300 users. Draw on a Map doesn't need an account for you to draw and share, and the map stays in the URL fragment (not sent to the server) when not logged in. You can open, draw, share in a matter of 30 seconds. The app is built on top of Cloudflare and using the…
