Show HN: Mapboard – Excalidraw, but on a Map
Hi HN! I was missing a (travel) planning tool that would let me plan at any detail level and start with a rough sketch. I wanted the flexibility to just put post-its on parts that are not planned (in detail) and a more detailed plan for other parts. So I built a map that you can mark up with drawings, markers and post-its. Additionally you can link to different boards from markers to i.e. plan a city within a larger trip. It's built using Maplibre, with self-hosted Protomaps for the tiles and Yj

Who is affected
Identify the existing workflow this change affects before recommending an upgrade. Launch attention does not establish improvement; an API, pricing or availability change may instead create migration work.
Missing comparison points
Missing checks: old versus new behavior, affected plans and regions, availability date, compatibility, rollback path and cost under the same workload.
Migration check
Save the release or policy notice, run the same task on the old and new option, and compare outputs and the full bill. For retirement notices, verify the deadline before scheduling migration.
