PIxel City Maps Are Here

/ / No Comments
Isometric NYC has definitely started a new trend for developing pixelated interactive city maps. In the last few weeks it has inspired Isopolis in San Francisco and London, drawn in London. Now a new project is taking the idea to Brazil – and suggests that we could soon be seeing a lot more of these pixelated cities. EARTH TO PIXELS earthToPixels has now transformed aerial imagery of João Pessoa, a coastal city in northeastern Brazil, into a sprawling, SimCity-style isometric pixel-art map. Like the earlier maps, the pixelated map of João Pessoa is a joy to explore. Buildings, roads, parks and coastline are transformed into a giant isometric pixel-art landscape that you can... more →

Awesome Algolia Updates (and some fixes here…)

/ / No Comments
I’ve been a huge fan, and user, of Algolia for a while now. I first wrote about it back in 2020 when I described how I added Algolia search to Eleventy. Later on, I described how one might migrate to Algolia from Lunr. All in all, I’ve been very happy with Algolia and my usage on this blog. Honestly, I feel like I’m the only one who makes use of my search page but I do so nearly daily so it’s critical to me. (And recently, a friend reached out specifically about my search and I’ll discuss that below.) The only real issue I ran into when using Algolia here was the size of my content.
