![Here's a copy/paste prompt recipe and vid showing exactly how to ask an LLM for an interactive map with satellite/map layers + a georeferencer that lets you see how old maps correspond with modern geography. Today the computer can’t make good print maps (that's your hill to climb ) but it can, with five bucks and twenty minutes, make good interactive maps. No software/GIS knowledge necessary, you just need a few nouns and an LLM. Scroll to the bottom for the repo/live map if you want those. I'm using Claude Code as an extension in VS Code but you can use the Claude CLI, Cursor, whatever. 1) Let's grab an old cadastral map and see who owned big tracts of a city; I found this an 1854 map of Niagara Falls, NY I found in the Library of Congress: , grabbed the .jp2, saved as a jpg from photoshop. 2) Let's ask Claude Code for a map. You can see exactly what I did in the video but my prompt, sans simple "hey it's busted" debugging, is written out in the following paragraphs. I explain the map-specific nouns in brackets. You can likely dump this whole thing in your LLM window and it'll work; I'd try plan mode + skip permissions. THE PROMPT Make an interactive map with MapLibre GL JS [maplibre is a javascript mapping library, a FOSS version of Mapbox GL JS. This lets us display tiled map data and arbitrary images on the map] Add basemap toggles with Esri satellite, Carto Positron, and OSM [these map layers require no API keys for light usage; Carto Positron is a nice road map layer and OSM is ugly but comprehensive] Add a globe/mercator projection toggle [I think the globe looks better at low zooms] Add a layer panel on the left with visibility checkboxes and delete buttons. Add a search box on the map that flies to results, with deletable pin markers [Makes this easy to get to your area of interest] Include an interactive local georeferencer: drop a JPG, pick ground control points on a zoomable/pannable image viewer, place them on the map, watch it warp with a progress bar centered on the map. [The georeferencer uses math ("affine transform"??) to match points on the old map to points on the new map; generally you click road intersections on the old map, match them on the new map, repeat a dozen times and everything aligns] The georeferenced map overlay defaults to 25% opacity with a slider above the control point list. [I want it easy to see the underlying modern geography] Add Export/import control point buttons [this saves the control points as a JSON so you can save and reimport your work] Add a button to export the warped image as a GeoTIFF with a .prj [In case you want to add the georeferenced image to a real GIS program like QGIS] Look up all relevant docs before starting [Claude sometimes uses outdated stuff] Split everything into separate HTML/CSS/JS files [Claude tends to pile everything in index.html, which is hard to read] Use Optima font, base color #FEFAF6 [I just like this style] Let me test with a local server [it serves it on a simple server so you can nav your host to localhost:8000 and try it out] Log all errors [so you don't have to play telephone with the LLM describing what's busted] 3) Once your LLM finishes, test it out in your browser; if it doesn't work, ask the LLM to check logs. Repeat 'til functional. 4) After this works on your computer, you can show it to everyone by hosting it on GitHub: prompt with "write a README explaining what everything does, add it to a new GitHub repo, deploy using GitHub pages, gimme the live URL" Here's what Claude made for me, try it yourself: • Upload the JPG in the repo, which is linked below • "Add GCP" • Click somewhere recognizable on the old map, like the tip of an island or a road intersection • Click the matching point on the new map • Repeat til you have least 3x points • Hit "georeference" • You'll see the old map atop the new map; if you want a better fit, delete bad points or add a dozen new ones, hit georeference again, repeat Repo: Is this map robust? Human-maintainable? Elegant? Performant? Secure? No, but *your* personal web map need not be. It just needs to work for *your* narrow use case, because it’s *your* map.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-2034005299972174112/amplify_video_thumb/2034000250713870337/img/BT1RIvJqMcNZrhwG.jpg)
![Nationalism + Antisemitism = "Perfect Synergy" For Gentiles. Allow me to explain. 🔖this. 1. My Nationalism Strategy: Nationalism is a fundamental "organizing principle" of a Nation for its own benefit. I'm an American, so I promote & advocate the restoration of classic [White + Christian] American Nationalism, because it's OUR country founded for US by OUR ancestors, and built by them and their posterity with a unique mix of predilections, talents, skills, customs, culture, genius, worldview and genetic heritage—all filtered & molded first over millennia in Europe, then refined further over centuries in America. I believe this is the right organizing principle for America. Other nations of the world will have their own Nationalist organizing principles. Listen to Douglas Rushkoff below, jewish power is diametrically opposed to Nationalism and thrives by destroying it—which means Nationalism is therefore the solution to jewish supremacy. 2. My Antisemitism Strategy: I fight jewish supremacy because it's antagonistic to both Whites and Christianity. It was a critical & essential factor in the overthrow of the White Christian foundations of America in favor of this current multicultural dystopian wasteland we find ourselves in. As such, it's the main obstacle to restoring classic America & American heritage. It also happens to be a problem for the entire world. Most Nations of the world are occupied to some degree by jewish supremacy, which often pits these nations against each other, making it more difficult for all of us to thrive. Jewish supremacy seeks to make all nations subservient to its global jewish trans-nation for its own ends. Note the famous tweet from Cursed Salad below. 3. Perfect Synergy For Gentiles: That's why I say antisemitism without nationalism is pointless; and nationalism without antisemitism is feckless. Without each other, both are a dead end: What's the purpose of Noticing if there's not a destination to row toward on the other side? Are we just noticing for noticing's sake? And what's the point of discussing our heritage and trying to restore it if we don't identify & address the major root-cause problem standing in the way of it? How can we overcome obstacles if we don't even recognize & acknowledge them? Jews don't fear antisemitism if it doesn't come with solutions to their supremacy. And they don't fear solutions that don't specifically address their supremacy. It's time for both, my friends. jews have their "perfect synergy," it's time for our own Perfect Synergy: Nationalism + antisemitism.](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1964867653237154158/amplify_video_thumb/1964866111352254464/img/a0wSFgTUxBogUHwv.jpg)
![CSS Tip! 🐳 You can add little details like this scale down on scroll effect with scroll-driven animations and some sticky positioning 🤙 section { animation: scale-down; animation-timeline: view(); animation-range: exit; } @keyframes scale-down { to { scale 0.8; } ] In this smaller example, you can lean into using the position to drive an animation that scales itself down as it leaves the viewport (Seen on the Apple Vision Pro site 🍏) The nice thing here is that if you don't have scroll-driven animations, the user still gets a good experience ✨ So how do you do it? There isn't much to it header { transform-origin: 50% 0%; animation: scale-down both ease-in; animation-timeline: view(); animation-range: exit; view-timeline: --header; } @keyframes scale-down { to { scale: 0.8 0.8; } } That's it. The layout makes use of position: sticky so that the element stays in the shot whilst you scroll the page. As it leaves the page, it scales down inside the 🫶 The other smol animation here is fading the overlay on the video out 😎 Real easy. You may notice the view-timeline you defined above for the 👀 header { view-timeline: --header; } You have a pseudoelement on the text content of the header that lives inside a header > section::before { background: hsl(0 0% 0% / 0.75); opacity: 1; animation: fade both linear; animation-timeline: --header; animation-range: exit-crossing 0% exit 0%; } @keyframes fade { to { opacity: 0; } } You use a slightly smaller range on this with exit-crossing to fade it out before you start the scale down animation 🤏 That's it! Thought this smaller example would be easier to grok for people 🙏 It's also covered with JavaScript if you really want it for your sites 🤙 CodePen.IO link below 👇](https://image.24vids.com/tw-1752479022674481373/ext_tw_video_thumb/1752475535978934272/pu/img/5naYIYo6vw_NbpbO.jpg)
