Search London StreetView panoramas by text
Inspired by All Text in NYC (https://alltext.nyc) by Yufeng Zhang I thought I would replicate something similar for London. A searchable tool that lets you explore text captured across Google Street View imagery in London; shop signs, posters, graffiti, van numbers etc
In plain words
Search London StreetView Panoramas by Text is a searchable tool that lets users explore text found in Google Street View imagery across London, including shop signs, posters, graffiti, and van numbers. It's designed for anyone interested in discovering what's written on London's streets, from casual browsers to researchers studying urban typography and signage. The tool makes it easy to find specific text or browse by category across the city's Street View archive.

Hey HN, I made a site where you can draw on street-level panoramas. Your drawings persist and other people can see them in real time. Strokes get projected onto the 3D panorama so they wrap around buildings and follow the geometry, not just a flat overlay. Uses WebGL2 for rendering, Mapillary for the street imagery. The idea is for it to become a global canvas, anyone can leave a mark anywhere and others stumble onto it.
