About

An interactive map of Tolkien’s Middle-earth, with events from across the legendarium plotted as markers.<p>I have been commuting a fair bit between the East and West coast, and thanks to American Airlines&#x27; free onboard WiFi, I was able to vibe-code a full interactive map of Middle-earth right from my economy seat at the back of the bus.<p>It&#x27;s rather amazing how much an LLM knows about Tolkien&#x27;s work, and it was fun to delve into many of the nooks and crannies of Tolkien&#x27;s lore.<p>Some features: - Plot on the map the journey of the main characters in both The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings. - Follow a list of events in the chronological Timeline - Zoom in on the high-def map and explore many of the off-the-main-plotline places - Use the &#x27;measure distances&#x27; feature to see how far apart things are.<p>I also had a lot of fun learning about tiling to allow for efficient zooming.<p>If you are anything like me, this should provide a fun companion to reading the books or watching the movies (note that on this site, I followed the book narrative, and did not include Peter Jackson&#x27;s many departures)<p>If you get the chance to check it out, I would love more feedback, and if there is demand, I might do the same for Game of Thrones.

AI Score Reasoning

This is a technically proficient hobbyist project rather than a viable startup, primarily due to insurmountable intellectual property risks and the lack of a clear monetization strategy. While the developer demonstrates strong execution and modern LLM integration, the project lacks a competitive moat and has minimal market traction.
