   That was a great idea. I'll have to come up with a nice way of representing your results

   Thanks. I'm considering adding an option to change the radius and or difficulty modes which filter out streets by length.

   Right now there's no backend but potentially I could have a leaderboard per geofenced city / town

   Very interesting. No I haven't, thanks

   Thanks for the feedback. I'll definitely fix the pin accuracy and I'm thinking about what to do around street length & difficulty

   I made it for my dad for Christmas and the very first time he played it was the tiny street where he grew up. He didn't believe me that it was random

   OK I've updated it to exclude "Alley". Thanks

   I agree (and what you want out of the game). I wonder is there a "number of streets" which is a better sweet spot / a better default, rather than a radius

    Great! Not yet, but I am looking into it. A lot of the feedback has been around the difficulty and the radius. So I might add difficulty modes and or a way to change the radius.

    I will fix the pin accuracy issue for sure!

    Great yeah, I was going to suggest we could contribute fixes back to OSM if that was the issue :)

    I will be reviewing that definitely. Thank you

    Can you give me the coordinates you played in? I will review the "objects". I can do something with the pin too. Probably not possible to snap though, no. Thanks!

    OK I'm done with fighting fires for now and can answer that last question. Cloudflare offer "functions" and "workers", they're like functions that run on the edge CDN nodes. These functions receive geolocation

    There were issues with my hosting provider. Try again and it should be fine. Hard refresh to be safe

    by adamlynch 5y ago

    OK it should be more back now. I migrated from Cloudflare functions to a Cloudflare worker. Make sure to clear your cache / hard reload though

    Thanks. I've confirmed it's back but then somehow Cloudflare started served an old deploy again for some time and now it's back working again. I didn't change anything. Ugh. https://5fee8b00.backofyourhand.pag

    Yes but it should be back now? My hosting provider (Cloudflare Pages) seem to have a limit on "functions" I cannot increase. I've worked around it for now but it might open at Cork for everyone. If so, you can zoom out and ta

    Thanks. I'm glad to hear that because I put effort into mobile. I thought it would be my older family members that would like it the most and use it on phones or tablets (I was right)

    It's interesting seeing so many different opinions on the difficulty (whether it's street length, circle radius, etc). I wonder would the same people's opinions on GeoGuessr correlate or not

    Thanks for the feedback. I'm considering adding difficulty modes or a way to change the radius. I'd rather that people wouldn't get a perfect score too easily though

    That's it! I could've sworn I made sure not to include it when submitting. It does redirect to that if there's no location found so maybe HN updated the link to the redirect destination? I'm pushing a change now to ignor
