Drive Google's Streetview Car

Download the file here https://gist.github.com/spicavigo/5263511 and open it in your browser. Wait for a minute or so for the video to load. Note that you should not move away from the browser window because the video will start automatically once its ready and restarting it would require opening the JS console of your browser.

In plain words

This webpage creates a video of driving between two locations using Google Street View imagery. Users download the HTML file and open it in their browser to watch an animated journey between points, with customizable speed and frame count. Currently, the tool features hardcoded New York locations, though the creator plans to add an interface for selecting custom start and end points.

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
