It’s an interesting idea, but once I measure it, what would I actually do with that information?

I’m not sure whether the site already has this, but a global aggregate would be interesting - especially if everyone could contribute their measurements and compare results. Like much we waste as a population.

Also, is the project open source?

If you go to the Strait of Hormuz area you can play Minesweeper on the globe map.

So by default, it’s turned off. Make sure that in the expandable menu, at the top above the "Shuffle" button, you enable the "Skip Talk" feature.

Another way is to click on the "AI Off" label in the play bar. This will open the "Audio Timeline", and you will find the "Skip Talk" toggle there as well.

The entire site is a result of me building different tools for geography guessing game, GuessWhereYouAre.com. At first, I needed them for myself (parsing JSONs, working a lot with Leaflet maps and Turf). Then I added some of them to the guide page in the game, and later I thought — why not create a dedicated site, polish the experience, and make them available as simple geography tools for people like me?

I’m not sure how useful they might be for professionals who use ESRI or QGIS, but I know I needed tools like that for the game’s development and couldn’t find anything easy to use and simple — at least not all in one place.

So technically, this site is a result of another project.

Exactly. I didn't think about open-sourcing but it's interesting idea, allow others to add more e.g. file formats to convert etc.. code would be need to be cleaned up more thought :D
