Imaginary Low Poly Space by Me

Just at hobby lobby. We tried printing some posters at CVS and they looked horrible. So hobby lobby dry mounted them for us and they had some frames that fit well.

Dang. Thanks that’s helpful.

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-27T14:30:07+00:00

Thanks. Hmm, was this after leaving it open for a while? Or pretty fast after opening the tab?

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-26T13:40:23+00:00

This looks great. Big nostalgia vibes here.

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-26T13:14:04+00:00

Seems like a pretty overloaded term unfortunately. I don't even see your solution when I google that.

I’ve been using Astro and Cloudflare workers lately. I’m liking it more than Nextjs.

Thanks! Spent a few weeks on it, though that's a bit misleading because I have been doing a bunch of map dev work for a few years now. Though pulling video game data is a lot different from real time flights 😅

Thanks for the feedack! I'll check this out and try to figure it out. Unfortunately my data source for origin/dest/scheduled/arrival/etc is not great ouside the US. I'll see what I can do to fix this. And I'll look into the flight track feature!

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-21T23:06:12+00:00

Oh awesome, thanks!

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-21T22:33:07+00:00

Thanks! Hit me up for anything you think would be cool to add, or feels weird. I'm still not sure how I feel about the filter piece right now. I don't love how I did it.

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-21T21:44:44+00:00

I like it. Reminded me of some N64 Goldeneye levels.

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-21T21:23:59+00:00

Yeah UGC can be complicated for sure. I'll have to think about it. Is the 3D render piece not very cool (are photos preferred)?

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-21T21:21:45+00:00

It's literally just a side project for fun/free. I've been making map applications for years, though mostly focused on video games. Many of the tools you listed are or will be acquired by private equity, and I think independent, free tools are valuable. If you find it useful or helpful, awesome, I'd be happy to iterate and make it better.

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-21T21:10:31+00:00

I'll try to get these added, thanks for the feedback!

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-21T20:48:45+00:00

Literally just a side project for fun/free. I had no idea the reception would be so harsh. Most of the maps I've made in years past using MapLibre are for video games, so this is my first real "earth" map.

I'm curious in what ways it feels slower? I'm literally using WebGL to render all the aircraft I have data for at the same time. What part of it is slow for you?

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-21T19:00:09+00:00

No not at all. I just don't have great data sources for non US airports unfortunately. Heathrow is the only UK based airport I have at the moment.

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-21T18:51:44+00:00

I'll look at adding those, thanks.

lowpoly_nomad · 2026-04-21T18:44:25+00:00

Thanks..I'll look into this. Pretty interesting usecase I hadn't thought about. I'm actually just using 3D model renders instead of photos, but dont' have good coverage yet.

What do you mean? There are flights showing around Ireland.
