    Interactive map of the convenience store "turf war" in Japan2024 · conbini.kikkia.dev · ▲114

    Technologies used: Leaflet (frontend) Turf (Geojson generation and Voronoi generation) I noticed that my neighborhood is all Lawsons, so I got the location of all Conbinis and ran some basic analysis to see if these pockets of brand territory are common. I haven't worked much with web frontends before, so feedback is welcomed. I also have some ideas to maybe expand upon, like making the territory calculations based on streets and other geographical features rather than just beeline distance. The site isn't tested too much on mobile yet, but should be ok. Currently the frontend code and…

  • An interactive dashboard to explore NYC rentals data2025 · leaseswap.nyc · ▲70

    historically, rentals in NYC have been pretty wild. the median 1BR in West Village as of July 2025 cost $5,750/month. about a month ago, NYC passed a law to ban broker fees which many predicted would have increased rents. I realized I had access to some original data from a previous project so I built a dashboard to help me visualize the changes and see for myself. you can filter by neighborhoods, bedrooms, original source where the rentals were posted, and select a timeframe. this is still a work in progress, so apologies in advance for any issues you encounter. I would love any…

    Hi HN, I built this after getting frustrated trying to map out things like “Ancient mayan ruins” or “James Bond movie locations” on Google "My" Maps. You basically have to drop pins manually, hunt down photos, copy links, it’s slow and never feels like an actual story. With MapScroll, you just type something like “Marco Polo’s route” or “forgotten WWII sites in France”, and it geocodes, grabs images + articles, and plots everything into a shareable story map. Each marker comes with a little gallery and sources tied to your prompt. You can also refine the first draft which AI creates before…

    Hey everyone I’ve been hacking on a project → [OGMAP](https://ogmap.com). It’s a *vector tiles API (PBF)* with simple prepaid pricing: - $10 = 1,000,000 tiles - 250k free on sign-up - Auto-buy with Stripe, with safety limits - Served worldwide via Cloudflare CDN We don’t try to compete with Mapbox feature-wise. It’s literally just fast, low-cost tiles + some basic styles for MapLibre. Why I built it: I wanted to start a web project and realized if it got even a bit popular (before monetization), I couldn’t afford the usual map APIs. Existing services often cost 3–10× more. So I…
