[Meta] Unite the GeoGuessr Alternatives
I've noticed (while browsing r/geoguessr) that there are quite a few other GeoGuessr alternatives out there, some of which are open source.
Here's a list of the ones I'm aware of:
Name | Link | Tech | Open Source? |
---|---|---|---|
EarthWalker | https://gitlab.com/glatteis/earthwalker | Svelte, Go | Yes |
LocationEstimatr | https://github.com/ruurdbijlsma/locationestimatr2 | Vue, Firebase | Yes |
80 Clicks | https://www.eighty-clicks.com/ | MS Stack? | No |
Geoguess Master | https://github.com/spider-hand/Geoguess-Master-Web | Vue, Firebase | Yes |
SpotPlot (name may change) | https://spea.cc/spotplot/ | PHP? | No |
There's definitely a lot of work being duplicated here, and each implementation also has its own unique set of features/improvements.
So, my proposal is to reach out to the developers of these and invite them to work together and build one GeoGuessr alternative to rule them all (which may be this or one of the other existing projects, or may be new from-scratch).
Do you think this is viable? Would you want to contribute to such a project?
