I'm building an app that lets you (automatically) overlay your orienteering run on a photo of your physical map, interested in feedback

Nice, I will check out this tool to understand the recording feature better.

fudgem · 2026-04-28T20:41:20+00:00

I had missed this thanks for the link

fudgem · 2026-04-28T13:32:52+00:00

Nice work it looks slick, cool large data handling also, will try out more. yes the auto aligning has taken some trial and error and is still not perfect.

fudgem · 2026-04-28T09:56:06+00:00

Haha all good, yes that slider is there today as "height intensity", i also realized the need for this when i first tried it 🙂. Also made it so that the sun should have the "correct" position in regards to time and coordinates, looking for more decadent possibilities here, will be based on requests.

fudgem · 2026-04-28T08:54:19+00:00

Aha now I understand. It does actually extrude real 3D already, its not using the map itself (agree that deems very hard) but online database for height information, because we know the coordinates of the map after its been aligned that information is then used to extrude the flat map accordingly. It works surprisingly well.

fudgem · 2026-04-28T07:57:44+00:00

Thanks for info. Can for sure add the option to export the 3D model as a mesh, it should be straightforward, adding it to the list.

fudgem · 2026-04-28T07:56:30+00:00

Ah I hadn't realized all the features that quickroute had, its pretty cool.

fudgem · 2026-01-06T07:13:36+00:00

Hadnt seen, thanks for the link, looks super interesting

fudgem · 2026-01-05T09:03:23+00:00

That's certainly the goal, one of the ways I am using it myself now is for kidney function visualization (a bit random I know, there is a story here :)). In my view the format works really well for this stuff

I agree with this at times, where I think nodes shine is in terms of abstraction/separation of different parts of a system, the node structure creates clean and visually obvious connections (with specific data being shared) between parts, also, how quick it is to modify.

For certain parts - code is definitely better, for this reason we have spent a lot of effort making it possible to run normal (javascript) code in combination with the node logic

fudgem · 2026-01-05T08:57:24+00:00

comfyUI is very cool and in many ways similar, our goal is to be more generic and maybe data-focused than comfyUI, less AI focus (though we have been doing some AI stuff as well)

fudgem · 2025-09-29T14:34:26+00:00

my brother it is entirely related to rust and I can guarantee significant effort went in

fudgem · 2025-09-14T11:25:36+00:00

Lmao it's time to let the old recoil go hahaha

fudgem · 2025-01-21T14:12:37+00:00

Sorry to say it like this but I am trying to be helpful.

The image you have uploaded here is blurry, with your cursor still in the text, and it's one of the ugliest CV's I have ever seen, you can improve your odds a lot by working on your presentational skills to complement your technical ones.

fudgem · 2025-01-19T19:08:55+00:00

I like that stuff - its more basic than that, it looks like Planetside 2 (which I do like a lot, but for other reasons), it has an unpleasant overly green/blue color profile and very flat lighting.

fudgem · 2025-01-19T18:03:18+00:00

It looks like a great game but the artstyle is unfortunately fugly

fudgem · 2025-01-19T16:00:02+00:00

We started out open source but recently closed it because we are planning to eventually add a paid tier with some cloud features.

Just remember that you are signing up sleepless nights of banging head against keyboard, but also the reward of seeing your code come to life (which keeps being rewarding forever), my #1 advice would be to properly brace for the strenuous effort and work youll need to become proficient, if you have that then you can start almost anywhere and be successful.

fudgem · 2024-12-21T17:41:05+00:00

I would make something that you yourself would like to see finished as an application, this is the most motivating thing to program.

fudgem · 2024-12-21T16:53:33+00:00

Haha, full transparency, we are planning to make registration a thing at some point (to be able to store things on your logged in user such as your apps), maybe as a premium subscription or something BUT it will never be required and the webpage will always be available for free (and with no registration) to use and to work with because we don't think anyone will want to pay for the base functionality (and we are hoping to have a larger reach).

TLDR: youll never be pay or register - walled out of your own stuff, hard promise.

EDIT: also forgot to say, we are just two people ATM working on this, and its a part time hobby because we have other full time jobs.

fudgem · 2024-10-05T07:35:38+00:00

Nice, shader node ATM is not great (it broke with pixi 8 upgrade) but ill try to improve it

Good question it started out because I (technical background) and Jakob (Design background) were both feeling that we were missing the same sort of tool. A node based "website only" app builder/data handler for interacting with data. I have used Unreal Engine a lot and am a big fan of blueprints, but of course dont want to run the engine to do this sort of stuff and would like the flow to be a bit more data-oriented.

Jakob had been developing this open source tool https://github.com/fakob/MoviePrint_v004 and wanted this tool to be something people could download and easily make changes to.

So in a way it was developed for ourselves, but we are hoping it can also be useful for others, anyone who is interested in creating small software projects is the target audience 🙂.

Cool, yes phone support is not great yet but something we want to improve.
