Nice work – product idea: find patios that are not in shade on a given day / at a given hour. Bet you could even charge a penny for a feature like this.

- tppiotrowski 5y agoI forget the adage used on HN, but something along the lines of "People are more willing to pay to avoid pain than to gain pleasure". A tool to prevent sun burn or skin cancer seems more promising. The shade layer is pluggable into any mapping application if you want to prove HN wrong [1] [1] https://shademap.app/about/ https://shademap.app/about/
