Just a little concept I had for a while and I decided to whip it up in the last two nights (exclusively using Claude Code). Give it a try please and let me know any feedback! Also please share to 100,000 of your closest friends.

Thanks!

    I live in a rural area, so was surprised to see that there was already a marker where I live. And even more surprised to see that it indicated it was me.

    Am I interpreting that correctly that there is no opt-in to having our location mapped when we hit the page? Just loading it publishes our location? Because if so, this is sketchy. Even anonymized, and even if my location is off by 7 miles from where I really am sitting, that is not far off for rural USA. This feels like a bit of a privacy violation.
