Show HN: Web swing through midtown NYC

Haha this is fun, man, well done. As someone who's never been to NYC, how accurate is this, the buildings and streets?

the blocks and building scales are accurate - based on OpenNYC, but the building styles / shapes are generic

Very cool, great job! Would love to know the stack and how the building data was processed to create these models.

I'm not oriented, but am puzzled by the diagonal avenue - it's like a mirrored Broadway?

That was pretty fun actually. Very thoughtful snapping to the nearest possible building to ensure you never end up falling into the nether.

really helped to add the signifier of which building would be snapped. glad you enjoyed it!
