Agreed, it's not really live, but still cool. There's a similar project for Swiss trains here: http://maps.vasile.ch/transit-sbb/

Source is available on Github (not my project).

Reusable Symbols like Fireworks! I really do hope they keep picking up the good parts of Fireworks and create a dedicated, high quality screen design tool. Because there is none at the moment.

If with "everything" you mean Photohop, then you're right. For everyone else there was Fireworks which initially was a promising screen design tool.

Sketch looks promising. But I would expect a couple of more features from an efficient screen design tool:

Reusable elements (FW symbols), multiple pages, something like Fireworks' "Master page", (basic) bitmap editing.

Someone link this to gaming, please.

Re:Show HN: My side project – Do I need a visa for...? on Monday March 25, 2013 @05:08AM (#5436120)
I wonder how you keep the visa requirements up to date. I've worked on a visa project before and I know that visa requirements change all the time and there's no central place to get those updates.
For Android users there is the Chrome to Phone extension which uses Web Intents. No need to scan a QR code. You can directly send selected text, web links, phone numbers or map links to your phone. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/google-chrome-to-p...

That's an iOS design flaw, not Google's problem.
