   I'm an airline pilot – I built interactive graphs/globes of my flights▲1,539

   Hey HN! Pilots everywhere are required to keep a logbook of all their flying hours, aircraft, airports, and so on. Since I track everything digitally (some people still just use paper logbooks!), I put together some data visualizations and a few 3D globes to show my flying history. This globe is probably my favourite so far: https://jameshard.ing/pilot/globes/all If you’ve got ideas for other graphs or ways to show this kind of data, I’d love to hear them!

   Time Portal – Get dropped into history, guess where you landed▲497

   Hi HN! I love imagining the past, so I made Time Portal, a game where you are dropped into a historical event and see AI video footage from that moment. You have to guess where you are in time and on the map. It’s like GeoGuessr (and heavily inspired by it!) but for historical events. The videos are all created with AI. It’s a pipeline of Flux (images), Kling (video), and mmaudio (audio). The videos aren’t always historically accurate to the last detail. They might incorporate elements of folklore or have details from popular beliefs about the way things looked rather than the latest…

    LLM Attention Visualizationfree▲176

    I often need to convert times between time zones, so I built this tool to convert between them quickly and efficiently. 1. Add the cities you want to convert between (this is saved in the browser). 2. Drag on the map until the time on the source city is the time you want. 3. Look at the time at the other city. It's even more helpful to use on a phone since it doesn't require typing to convert between time zones or look up the time in another city (assuming you already added the cities you care about). If you need to convert a time far in the future, you can input the date and time in the…
