How did you pinpoint the exact location?
dschep · 3 months ago
Seeing as several are in entirely the wrong city, one is in the Tidal Basin in DC, another on the National Mall.. they clearly don't.

The geocoding needs some work. There are 4 companies indicated as being located in Richmond, Virginia. At least two of them are clearly in Richmond, California. I suspect all of them are in CA.

Why did you build this with a server? Since you suggest folks introspect the script anyway, you could simply generate it in the browser and have the user download it. Then you could run this at zero-cost.

without a means to update the map, this isn't a breakthrough. I'd rather use protomaps[0](which has regular builds, from a better-known source) with caddy.

Looking at github, the OP is 16. not to reduce you to your young age, OP, but great work. I hope you take the criticism in the right way. When i was 16, my websites did not look at all that good. Well done!

Brings back memories. I made Mac OS X knockoff UI(back when it was 'stripey' for a website when I was about 16 as well. Nicely done OP.

what is NN? The website doesn't offer much context
dschep · 2 years ago
Yeah, the github repo is a much better link for this, as it explains what it is. https://github.com/alexlenail/NN-SVG

You can actually setup ublock0 to do this for you too. At one point I'd used it to blur distracting sites, but like you, I found fully blocking the content(which the blurring effectively did) led to me disabling the block. I'll try this technique out, it's a good idea.

Here's how you can do it with ublock:

  www.reddit.com##img:style(filter: blur(10px);)
  www.reddit.com##body:style(filter: grayscale(1);)

What id like to see is a federated MySpace-like service. Users could host their blog on an instance of their choice, toy around its styling or its content directly as to learn about web techs (or keep it simple and remain with the default stylesheet!), and yet remain discoverable thanks to the federated nature of such service. If I had the time its honestly something id love working on.
dschep · 2 years ago
You can kinda get that from microblog.pub. It federates via ActivityPub and is a single-user customizable micro&macro blog. https://docs.microblog.pub/user_guide.html#customization

The market is full of fraud, and the surveillance exists as a counter to the fraud. Users are surveilled in an effort to prove that they are real users, not bots that are being used to fake impressions or clickthroughs. It's all very messy.

Place yourself in the shoes of an ad buyer: a random website offers to display your ad. How do you know what you're getting?

dschep · 2 years ago
But the ad networks also serve fraudulent ads and even worse, malware. How is that an improvement?
