Show HN: Paint the Earth on a live, interactive globe (collaborative art.)

Just out of curiosity - Whats the plan against well "missuse" in terms of depicting "forbidden/problematic" symbols/Words/....?

This is one of the major issues that made the reddit variant a rather big nightmare for mods.

The problem is the world is too big. If you could get a rough fix on where your user is and start with a focus on their local area you might get some engagement. Allow just how big it is to be something they might discover.

Reminds me of that buy a pixel website back in the 2000s. Cool concept! blocks are bit small...

Looks like wplace.live. But you can get 256 pixels an hour, instead of 60 and ownership of tiles is permanent. Cool idea. Do you really expect a lot of people to pay for tiles?

suggestion: add undo shortcuts (ctrl+z) to remove last pixel changes rather than having to undo everything for a small mistake

suggestion: show a heatmap of areas with most activity in the past 24 hours or so. That will tell visitors where to go.

So, like The Million Dollar Homepage, except that was an original idea that caught peoples imaginations over 20 years ago.

This would be cool if it was free and everyone could just draw.. There are plenty sites like that atm tho.

bug: firefox-esr Linux latest, when I clicked on Wander, it had a grey frame instead of the globe, and it shows only after moving/zooming.
