What it does
🌍 True Scale Map - AI Powered Drag countries to compare REAL sizes. See Russia (17M km²) shrink vs Africa (30M km²)? AI kills Mercator distortions! Features: ✅ AI Recalculation ✅ Debunk Myths: "Russia < Africa!" ✅ Education Tool For all curious minds.
Use an interactive real size map to compare countries' true areas. Drag any country across the world map and see how Mercator projection distorts size.
Move country outlines across the map to see how Mercator projection changes apparent size with latitude. The map is a visual aid, not an area measurement. Check the stated area basis before using a visual overlay to compare places. Area comparisons use the stated area basis for each place. Countries and continents are different geographic entity types, so their totals are labelled separately. Read the methodology and sources. Pick a ready-made comparison and see how familiar places change when map distortion is removed. A near-peer land-area comparison between two global benchmarks. A clean Europe comparison where land area and economic weight point different ways. A close large-region…from true-size.com

Put Greenland on the Moon (interactive map for size compare)Jan 2026 · github.com · ▲6I built a drag-and-drop map playground to compare the true sizes of countries and visualize Mercator distortion, just for fun and sharing.

TrueSize.net2025 · truesize.net · ▲6Hi! Thanks again for all the great feedback on my earlier post. I’ve added a lot since then and wanted to share an update. I’m also very open to more ideas or criticism. For anyone who hasn’t seen it yet, TrueSize.net is an interactive tool that lets you visualize and compare the real size of countries on a world map and globe (without Mercator distortion). What’s new: - Support for 140k+ regions, provinces, states, and territories - not just countries. - Many regions now include population, area, and short descriptions. - Official mobile apps on iOS and Android (links are on the site,…

Hi HN, I made a web game to practice country locations a while ago and HN liked it, so I thought I'd post my updated version as well. As for how the game works and feels, I'd really recommend you checking it out for yourself, it's free, no signup, no ads. The tech stack is Vue + ts + Tailwind/Daisy for the looks. The learning algorithm is a slight modification of the ts version of FSRS. If you have anything to add, it's open source as well (https://github.com/koljapluemer/learn-worldmap), although not well documented yet. In the end it's just a little sideproject,…

Trickle - Magic Canvas ▲1,064Hey HN! Introducing Trickle Magic Canvas: the world’s first Agentic Canvas, where you can visually co-create apps and websites with AI, from idea to production. Why is a canvas better? Most AI tools today rely on linear chats or text prompts. We believe that limits creativity and clarity. Canvas changes the game. 1. Every version & page at a glance. Each page and sub-page lives on a timeline. You can quickly browse, edit, and preview progress like a living, visual document — no more digging through chat logs or scattered states. 2. The canvas is the context. Unlike linear chats, you can…

Today marks ten years, 3653 consecutive days, of running at least one mile every day under the USRSA rules [1]. To celebrate, I built an interactive dashboard that turns a decade of GPX files into charts you can explore. Running has truly changed my life: I've made lifelong friends, explored beautiful places, and more importantly invested into my own health and fitness, which I'm starting to see the positive benefits as I get older. The stack is pretty simple: a NextJS app, with a Postgres database to keep all my running data, and all the stats are pre-computed and cached in Redis, so I…

Made this website as an exercise in vibe-coding and GCP. It was posted about a few times around the internet, on sites like Morning Brew (https://www.morningbrew.com/issues/business-buzzkill), MetaFilter (https://www.metafilter.com/209703/Draw-A-Fish), boingboing.net, etc. I think it's cute! I built a basic CNN trained against penises and swastikas, and then anything that doesn't hit the 63% confidence score gets sent to a mod queue, a vibe-coded fish-tinder…

Hi HN - I made a site that takes a UK postcode, grabs the local MP's information and generates an AI mockup of what their ID might look like. It's a small, silly protest at the stupidity of the Online Safety Act that just came into force. edit - My open AI credits got hugged to death, please use a known postcode (like one from Kier Starmer's constituency, WC2B6NH) in the meantime.
