Just a few weeks ago I was on a trip through back roads of NC and VA and saw a bunch of historical markers and wondered how to do something with them. And now I know.

My thinking was to stop and get a gps coordinate and then what? How do I get them all across the states? And that is about how far my thinking got before a SQUIRREL ran through my brain.

Glad to see some of my thoughts aren't to far out there. Now just have to work on DOING instead of THINKING.

I too had this experience in Texas over the holidays. Sigh.

Start small, get the GPS co-ords of those markers, and create your visualisations, etc.

Then share them with family/friends

Then they'll start collecting marker co-ords for you

THEN worry about how to get strangers involved (using/submitting/etc)

Great point. Thanks for sharing.

I admit I get the cart before the horse.

I'm not looking for life changing money, but it would be nice to actually be able to submit a $500 mrr project here on HN.

These are my favorite threads

Many are probably already in HMDB.

Good shoutout - We partner with them to pull in HMDB data into the ExploreHere app We link back to them in the app too, at the bottom we show the 'source' of the info we pulled in.
