ah yeah, the radius reset thing is on my radar. And yeah, for smaller towns it kinda pulls whatever notable spots it can find nearby, definitely something I want to improve. thank you so much for trying it out.

pankajtanwar··on Ask HN: What are you working on? (October 2025)
I’m building a small side project called https://www.localgeoguessr.com/ — a fun geography game that tests how well you know your local area. It’s still in a very early stage, not polished yet, but it’s somewhat playable.

The idea is to eventually add more categories like “restaurants,” “theaters,” “roads,” etc., so you can play based on local themes.

I’d love to hear your thoughts - any feedback on what you’d like to see, what feels off, or any issues you run into would be super helpful.

pankajtanwar··on Building a tiny load balancing service using PID Controllers
My bad, I meant to say a programming implementation of a PID controller, like how someone would take a use case and code it out. Most of the resources I’ve found focus more on the industrial perspective. Please share if you have anything handy.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.

pankajtanwar··on Ask HN: How to Create a Simple Blog?
[I've mentioned it quite a times on HN]

Ghost - If you are really serious about writing and monetizing it. Not useful if you are not earning from your writing

Medium - If you are gonna write once in a year. or. you are happy putting your articles behind their paywall

dev.to - If you don't have a niche, just writing for the community whenever you feel

hashnode - If you prefer having custom domain, writing for beginners, love SEO, want to build personal brand, and a bit serious about technical writing.

SSG + Github Page - If you love getting your hands dirty in coding & willing to spend sometime to learn a new tech. (plus point, you have full freedom to design it in your own way)
