I wanted to turn left off of Stow St (and so did everyone else it seems), but at the intersection, there were no left-facing arrows, so we're still on Stow St.

I see this domain and immediately get excited.

Why does it vote every 30 feet, when there is only one option?

Seems very slow.

Well, it's a road trip! Whoever said road trips are fast?

euvin•4h ago

Good point, but I wish I could swivel my head to enjoy the scenery at least.

greesil•4h ago

Are we there yet?

phreack•4h ago

We're closer than we were before!

insin•2h ago

It's about the journey, not the destination

Jarwain•2h ago

Also the vote timer is shorter if there's only one option!

I don't understand why this clown car can't u-turn on these streets...

Great old Twitch energy.

Badly needs inline chat to be complete.

Maxion•2h ago

Volume control needs to also be votable.

The only thing I wish for is that the map showed the whole path taken since the website went live!

gadtfly•2h ago

Does it not? Zoom out on the map.

Jarwain•2h ago

I've found it to not work consistently. When I first started it showed the whole thing, but after playing for a while and some refreshes it only shows the path that this browser has seen. So if I switch apps for a while with it running in the bg, then come back, it skips straight from where we were when I last played to where we are now

Fun idea! In between votes, the app could prefetch the next streetview frames, making it a bit more seamless once the vote has been cast?

mcint•2h ago

It needs to resolve faster if more people vote, based on a running average of voters, or sqrt of viewers present.

ffsm8•1h ago

I'm missing a history of past votes. Maybe a sliding window of the last n votes that you participated in and how you voted - as well as how it resolved.

Another idea that comes to mind is a to foster solidarity between voters by maybe notifying you if there is someone that voted exactly like you for the last n votes. Might be harder to do unless you're syncing votes via webrtc already

Nice! There was a Daedalus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_E._H._Jones) column along the same lines back in the day. A bus where passengers could vote for how to steer, with the ones paying most money having the most votes. (https://genome.ch.bbc.co.uk/b7f0cfb077d6ad0f094d665e2bca7072)

Oh boy that's going to be hefty bill for the street view API, isn't it?

300 people * 12 votes/min -> 3600 street view events/min

3600 events/min * $0.002/event -> $7.2/min (at current usage)

I love the radio, that's a great touch.

Love the immediate protest votes of Horn after we missed the turn.
