What it does

Right now there's no easy way to make GPS art. People sketch a shape by hand and try to match it to a map, or use online tools clicking point after point to trace roads into that shape. It takes forever and rarely looks right. DrawMyLoop fixes that. Draw a shape, it snaps automatically to real roads, and you get a route to ride or run. Pick a shape, trace an image, or type text, then export to GPX for Strava, Garmin or Komoot. You can also explore GPS art already made by others and remix it.

Draw My Loop turns map drawings into GPS art routes for running and cycling, with road snapping and GPX export for Strava, Garmin and Komoot.

Draw a shape and we turn it into a real route through your streets. Run it and impress your Strava followers. Real routes drawn by runners and cyclists with Draw My Loop. Get inspired, then create your own. A heart, your name, a t-rex. With the pencil, the mouse, or one of the 400 library shapes. No drawing skills needed: it's a draft. Your line lands on real roads around you, by bike or on foot. Every turn is rideable, from the first metre to the last. Export the GPX to Strava, Garmin or Komoot and follow the route. When you finish, your activity map shows what you drew. The painful part has always been plotting the route by hand, waypoint by waypoint. Draw My Loop skips that step. You…from drawmyloop.com

    I'm working on a GPS track visualizer for quite some time. It shines in hilly and mountaineous terrain (where a 3D view makes more sense), but it also offers quite a lot of Strava-like features (statistics etc.). You can upload your GPX and FIT files manually, or sync directly with Garmin, Coros and Polar. See https://cubetrek.com for the live app and check out some examples there. It's free and opens source. Also, anyone who likes to work with 3D visualizations (especially Babylon.js), let me know if you like to help polish this thing further.

    I might be the only SRE on Earth with his own bowling center. It's a more in-depth gig than you'd think. My family and I bought an abandoned 8-lane bowling center in the rural mid-west. In our small town there weren't many recreation options for families. You've heard of a food desert? This is an R&R desert. It had been abandoned for a good reason. The roof leaks, the electrical system was constantly surging, and my 70-year-old bowling equipment (still) doesn't work perfectly. The system that keeps your score is particularly interesting to me. It's the thing you watch during your game, but…

    Over the past few months, our team has been building more and more slidedecks using web frontend technologies with coding harnesses like Claude Code, but a common complaint is to make even small edits we need to edit the code either manually or via the harness. To avoid this loop, I ended up creating Bento, a single HTML file with everything you need in a slide tool including animations and shared editing. There's no install or cloud login, everything works offline. The default deck is around 560 KB and it doesn't need to fetch anything once you got it. Open it in a browser and then you can…

  • A few days ago I found myself trying out GLM 5.2 and was really positively impressed. The capabilities and security I was getting from this LLM are similar to those I've gotten from models like Claude or GPT, and this really surprised me. But then I thought, "I wonder how it would work on a normal computer like mine," and above all, "I wonder if it would work without going into OOM on a computer like mine." So I started working with the help of agents to test this possibility. I started converting the model to int4, understanding MTP usage, and if possible implementing DSA for long context.…

    Hello! For the last 2 months, I've been building OpenSEO. It's a user friendly UI wrapping the DataForSEO API which has high quality SEO data for keywords, backlinks, AI SEO and competitor research. Instead of paying $100+ per month, you buy DataForSEO credits and pay only for usage. The coolest thing about the project so far has been hearing about what people are building on top of it. People are using coding agents to quickly integrate with Google Search Console, Google Ads and building their own AI SEO and reporting features. Many were already building their own custom solutions around…
