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.

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.

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:

You can kinda get that from microblog.pub. It federates via ActivityPub and is a single-user customizable micro¯o blog. https://docs.microblog.pub/user_guide.html#customization

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

You should add a child and adult for scale. So many cars are just dangerously large these days.

dschep | 4 years ago | on: Show HN: npm install actual-malware
I suspect OP conflated "I am reporting malware in a package on npmjs.com" with "I have discovered a bug or vulnerability in a package on npmjs.com." The later shows what they report[0] whereas the former does allow for a report to be made.

While they're alone in a car, sure. But as soon as they're around folks with iPhones, they're tracked just fine and will never get the notifications the husband in the article got.

You should consider making this into a browser extension. For this kind of script it's rather easy and is way easier for users to install. For an example with a very similar configuration (array of strings) that is a configurable extension instead, checkout my WaPo Metal Taglines greasemonkey script[0] and extension[1]

There's also https://snapdrop.net which seems extremely similar to sharedrop.io but has an additional useful feature of letting you send messages which I sometimes use to send links to devices that aren't logged into any service.
