Maybe you've created your own AR program for wearables that shows the definition of a word when you highlight it IRL, or you've built a personal calendar app for your family to display on a monitor in the kitchen. Whatever it is, I'd love to hear it.

I built https://maphoto.app/ . Is a simple tool that allows you to add a mini-map on your picture. I used python and expressjs.

Love this, but is it just me or can it not read the location data embedded in images?

Glad to hear that. Totally agree with you. That was the main feature but then I preferred to start with the manual location UI. But I'm working on it, I'll release it soon. Thank you
