A map to see where your fellow blinkenshellers are!
The current URL is http://pbnoxious.blinkenshell.org/map/map.html
Every blinkenshell user that has a "coordinates" file in their public_html will automatically be added to the map. A small python script parses these from time to time (currently once per day) and converts them into GeoJSON markers. These GeoJSON objects are then added as a Leaflet layer to an OpenStreetMap background with tiles from Mapbox.
In principle, just adding the Lat/Lon coordinates is sufficient but there are additional options. The file will be correctly parsed if it is structured as follows:
lat_coordinate,lon_coordinate
(optional popup text)
(optional color as #hex)
- Leaflet - The library to add the Marker layer
- OpenStreetMap - Base data for the map
- Mapbox - Map tile provider
