alt Hacker NewsFunny how I made almost exactly the same but for maps.
I needed a way to share a link to a map, with drawings and the ability for the receiver to see their own location on the map.
Annotated screenshots solves the first but not the second.
Vibe engineered this, with many of the same ideas as OP.
Took an evening. Just in time apps for one specific use case is a thing.
And because it's so cheap to make and can be hosted cheaply with no backend, it can be given away for free.

> Vibe engineered
While I'm all for vibe coding as appropriate, there's a lot of humor to be found it calling it engineering. :D
This is so cool!! The responsiveness of the page is so much better than any maps app I have used.
This is pretty cool!
And if you are open to bug reports.. if I move around the drawings move smoothly with the map, but if I zoom in/out the drawings move only after the map zooming animation ends, rather than smoothly
This is very cool!
Is this open source?
That is absolutely great! Using it now to plan a trip.
Could we also add text annotations? Also the delete button could delete just the last shape or a selected shape so as not to start over?
