Thanks for sharing. I went through a similar process recently, manually stitching together fire insurance maps from my hometown. A large part of the business district burned down in 1916, but maps from a couple of years earlier survived. It worked, but it was tedious. This would have saved a lot of time. Here's the link if anyone wants to check it out: https://fire.gorch.com/


Thanks for sharing, this is really nice. I've added it to the list of other projects I have on the site [0]. Feel free to get in touch if you want to use OIM for other years of Paris, TX.

Oh, cool, Thanks so much!


Timing of your post is spot on. I just emptied a drive to prep for a Linux switch this morning ( for the same reasons ) :D


Became more fascinated with the history of my small hometown (Paris, Texas) TLDR: Much of it was wiped out by a 1916 fire. I spent some time recently vibe-coding this interactive map to provide some kind of historic visualization ( which enabled me to see the impact better ) https://gorch.com/parisfiremap/


Love it


Listened to Flood continuously in high school. In many ways, I felt it empowered me to embrace my own weirdness.

This great, Thanks for sharing!


I wonder if Regenerative AI would be a more suitable name.


Creator here. I add the static to mask the video buffering ( since each channel change triggers a video load ) I'm flattered though that you think of me as young. I very much was a child of the '80's :D


You could add a "high bandwidth & low latency" mode, where when active, you load the current video + the next one. So when the user goes to the next channel, it's already playing but muted and not visible, and you start playing the next-next channel hidden again :)
