Walk and map your neighbourhood sidewalks with footpath.ai

We have recently launched our Web Uploader that allows everyone in the community to map their neighbourhood sidewalks by walking and capturing images using any camera, and uploading to footpath.ai. All images are open under CC-BY-SA, for the OSM community to use to add sidewalks and walkability features like trees, benches, bike racks, ramps, steps, garbage bins, tactile paving, streetlight and more to OSM anywhere in the world. Give it a try.

Street Peekaboo: A daily hidden-object game using real street imagery from around the world

A few months ago I had a simple idea. Hide a bird in a 360° street scene and give players ten seconds to find it. More like an online bird spotting/watching game.

I eventually built Street Peekaboo. Every day there's a new location somewhere in the world. You can look in any direction, try to find the hidden bird before the timer expires, and then continue exploring the street afterwards.

Unlike location-guessing games, the objective isn't to figure out where you are. The challenge is simply to observe carefully and spot the kookaburra. For those who may not know, kookaburra is an Australian native bird with a loud laughter-sounding chirp.

I'd love feedback. Is the 10-second timer too short or too long? Is finding the bird more interesting than exploring the location? Would this be something you'd come back to play daily?
