alt Hacker NewsShow HN: I Was Here – Draw on street view, others can find your drawings
Hey HN, I made a site where you can draw on street-level panoramas. Your drawings persist and other people can see them in real time.
Strokes get projected onto the 3D panorama so they wrap around buildings and follow the geometry, not just a flat overlay. Uses WebGL2 for rendering, Mapillary for the street imagery.
The idea is for it to become a global canvas, anyone can leave a mark anywhere and others stumble onto it.

Good fun thanks! Found a cute cat in Buenos Aires. It seems you have quite a lot of activity already, is that all from HN in the last two hours or from something else before this?
Cool idea, but of course the very first image I clicked into was a dick.
How are the panoramas chosen? That is, can I select one that isn't currently on the map?
I love it until fine I'll signup and love it again but then no you pay now. My 2 cents is all I have to give.

A long, long time ago ... there was a browser extension or maybe an iframe, that allowed you to "comment" on public websites. Of course you weren't really commenting on the actual website, just some form of overlay. Anyway, it quickly devolved into lawsuits and rude comments if I recall correctly.
