Fine, fine. You asked for it, here it is. I hope you’re happy :)
I had to use GPT for the documentation and final spit-and-polish, because I had absolutely no intention of releasing this thing, let alone documenting it for wider consumption.
Ipso facto, for all the AI “Akshually” pedants, I’ve tagged this as AIP. Politely go fuck yourselves :)
Furthermore, here is the actual tale of the tape:
- Design - HUMAN
- Implementation - HUMAN
- Testing - BONE-FUCKING-CRUSHINGLY HUMAN
- Documentation - GENERATED
- Review - PAIR
A couple of notes:
-
Remote access: outside the home, the nature of the beast means you need something like Tailscale to get back into your home lab. That’s a quirk I deliberately kept for the sake of simplicity, as the browser needs HTTPS for things like GPS/geolocation. The private Tailscale HTTPS path solves both problems neatly without me having to do shit.
-
Portability: I didn’t build this for you; I built it for me. That said, I detangled the original home-lab-specific mess enough that you should be able to deploy it elsewhere.
The repo separates the application from the regional data bundle, and the documentation covers installation, other regions, routing, Wikipedia/Kiwix, Tailscale, updating and the various caveats.
In other words: it is now usable by other people (and immediately usable if you happen to live where I do), but you’ll need to do the work. Additionally, that should not be mistaken for me volunteering to become your unpaid support department :)
“Fork it, fix it or fuck it” - dealers choice :)
That and the dev speaking near fluent slop in all their comments.
To be fair thats probably why the name is unexplainably weird, once the prompt is written the devs job is already done
I called it Pimaps because I host it on a Pi. Radical, I know.
What exactly is your malfunction? You’re chasing me through three communities calling a freely shared, hand-coded project - one folks here begged me to share - slop. Put up or shut up. Audit the codebase if you have the chops. Or do you just like to talk shit and hope no one calls you out?
vibecoders have made us all so skeptical of any text that gets made fast. I don’t blame people for being skeptical but it’s a sad when people jump to the negative conclusion. idk what it is exactly but you seem like the real deal. very cool project and you seem to be a good sport about everything
