I'm going to be working on a personal itch problem. I first spotted the problem about 20 years ago. I solved it as a brute force manual screen scrape 15 and 10 years ago. I tried to solve it programatically 5 years ago, learnt lots but ultimately went round in circles on scaling an approach.
I'm now excited to be playing with Arquero [1] and Uber H3 [2] and hopefully I'll scratch the itch and release something!

- Rodeoclash 4y agoThe first thing I thought of when reading the code for h3 was "I wonder if you could use this to build a Fallout-esque hex layouts for games". I wonder if the lat/lng to hexes would work well for screen coordinates and the zooming aspect could introduce some interesting UI elements. Purely speculative though, I should probably read the docs in more detail.
