AI Analysis
●●●BangerZero to OneWizardryRabbit Hole
3D stroke projection on panoramas beats flat overlays — global canvas nobody's built before.
Strengths
- •WebGL2 renders strokes that follow actual panorama geometry, not flat 2D overlays
- •Real-time persistence means anyone can stumble on drawings anywhere
- •Mapillary integration provides global street-level coverage without building imagery
Weaknesses
- •Depends entirely on Mapillary coverage gaps in many regions
- •No mention of moderation system for inappropriate drawings

Post Description
Hey HN, I made a site where you can draw on street-level panoramas. Your drawings persist and other people can see them in real time.
Strokes get projected onto the 3D panorama so they wrap around buildings and follow the geometry, not just a flat overlay. Uses WebGL2 for rendering, Mapillary for the street imagery.
The idea is for it to become a global canvas, anyone can leave a mark anywhere and others stumble onto it.

We open-sourced MusePro, a Metal-based realtime AI drawing app for iOS
The standout is the real-time feedback loop: Pencil input feeds sub-second inference over WebSockets so your composition evolves as you draw, not after the fact. UX tools like influence sliders, pause, seed shuffle and one-tap enhancers (2x upscaling, background removal) give artists control instead of handing everything to the model — clever engineering that still leaves open questions about on-device vs cloud inference and latency/cost tradeoffs.
