Read about what I’ve been up to @engineering! It started as a random experiment when I was fed up with our current tooling, and it's now a product that’s used across the company.
Thanks to my team, I learned so much about launching a product, driving adoption, and how to make a delightful user experience that competes with existing open-source tools.
we have google maps at home--
fun experiment on rendering pretty maps in the terminal with rust and mapbox/openstreetmap tiles!
Network Map of 50,000 blogs
I scraped my favourite blogs and made a graph of which ones linked to each other! You can see clusters of blogs that correspond to topics--there's clusters for Canada, rationality, crypto, India, and even postgres.
Did this with webgl and ran into some hard problems with this one:
- rendering 600k antialiased lines of different color / width
- when and where to show URL labels aesthetically
- the "fly to" animation when you search for a domain (inspired by mapbox!)
Might do a blog post on some of these later!
Check it out at graph.henryn.ca
The data was scraped from all the blogs at resonant.live
Also check out map.henryn.ca if you haven't. It's a travel time map for public transit.
Just added transfer costs so you can adjust how much you hate transferring buses.
Made a bicycle routing map where you can choose how much you want to avoid hills or avoid cars.
Try it at map.henryn.ca/bike
I used Claude to optimize the memory usage so the routing now works across all of California! Made with @Mapbox , @rustlang , and a whole lot of GPT

A really excellent tool to visualize how far someone can travel in a set amount of time on transit in the Greater Toronto Area. Fast transit can shrink people’s perception of distance! map.henryn.xyz/
llm's are taking over the world
We made a bot that channels a passive-aggressive Morgan Freeman to take your McDonald's order 😂🍟
