Yes, I use the same (OSM features annotated as 'Peak'). I've found a few edge cases, like volcanoes, which I also want to count as peaks. Thanks for sharing your project, I'll have to check it out! It was definitely a hu

I built an app that integrates with Strava to automatically log the summits you've climbed. Now I'm working on adding summit lists to it, e.g the "New Hampshire 4000 ft. Peaks". And other types of lists, like "you&

I think it's a pretty awesome website! Maybe just the worst data ever? It has a link for you to submit your observations and improve the data.

I'd really like access to a tiny, almost free, sql database for personal projects. The cheapest option here is $15 a month, and similar prices for other cloud managed dbs. Heroku was nice and I guess is still a good option, but hard to

I saw Magic Eye in elementary school and loved them. I got into making them, but didn't have the actual software, so I used MS Paint. I would take an image and copy and paste it across the screen. Then take a rectangle and shift it ove

How are receivers sensitive enough for this to work? A GPS watch can tell the difference between a few billionths of a second? > It only takes light one billionth of a second to travel the distance of around 1 foot.

I'm the exact same as parent comment. For me, I was a bit pressured into getting the booster. I also thought it was 3 and done, it wasn't clear that it could potentially be recurring. I also thought maybe the reaction wouldn'

I made an online version of Catan, want to try? I don't want to publicize it since it's running on a free Heroku dyno (and copyright infringement, probably), but I think it'd be fun to share with a few internet strangers. It&
