Moderation-wise, I have a dashboard where I can see all drawings and quickly delete anything bad. Users can also report stuff, and anything with enough reports gets auto-hidden. Looking into automating it more down the line as well.
You should see a toolbar at the bottom with a pen/marker icon, tap either to start drawing. No payment needed, premium is really just to support the project.
You may be right, I may need auth down the line. I wanted to reduce friction and let people draw right away though. I think the bridges thing is an artifact of Mapillary, the API I use for panoramas. Dashcams tend to overrepresent highways. Working on better curation.
Thanks! There's a report button if you hold on any drawing, plus I have admin tools to delete flagged stuff. Working on automated moderation to catch things faster as it scales
I might be missing something obvious but there only appears to be the option to draw something in predefined places - where the bubbles appear on the map.
I'm trying to mark up somewhere new that doesn't have a bubble and I can't see how I'm supposed to do that.
Right now it's limited to ~2,000 curated panorama locations. You can only draw at existing bubbles on the map. I'm working on expanding coverage, but if you have a spot or location you'd love to see added, let me know :)
Yeah, I see that does seem confusing. The heatmap currently shows all available locations, not just ones with strokes. I need to think through the UX more like trying to balance showing coverage with making it obvious where actual drawings are. Thanks for the feedback!
Haha yeah, can't have nice things I guess. I'm currently working on automated moderation to catch that stuff faster. In the meantime, Report button exists if you stumble into anything awful.
About 2,000 locations so far. Mapillary has a lot of imagery but finding the 360 panoramas is trickier since they are a lot rarer. I'm actively expanding coverage
