Hey everyone 👋 This project was born literally 6 hours ago. I wanted to share something we've been building for our Roatán travel brands: an interactive 360° drone panorama tour of the island — think Google Street View, but flown by drone. Live now (2 locations, more coming): https://roatanquebecois.ca/drone360/ What it is: Fly to a spot on the island, tap around, and you're standing inside a fully navigable 360° sphere — pan, zoom, and jump between locations using bearing-linked arrows and a compass. Right now it's Bitcoin Center and the future hospital site at Dixon Cove, with dozens more planned along the coast. How we did it (the fun part) The drone (DJI Mini 4 Pro) has a "Sphere Panorama" mode that auto-captures ~35 photos in a full rotation. Sounds simple — stitch them together, done. It was not that simple. A few things we had to solve: - True north is a lie from the drone's compass. Steel/rebar near our shoot sites threw the magnetometer 17–23° off. Fix: compute the sun's actual position (azimuth + elevation) for the exact capture time/GPS, find the sun in the photo, and calibrate off that instead. - Ghosting/smear at the seams. Averaging overlapping frames together looked smooth in theory but blurred anything that moved even slightly between shots (parallax). Fix: feature-match every overlapping pair, refine each frame's pose to sub-pixel accuracy, then let ONE frame win at every seam instead of blending them. - Exposure bands in the sky. The drone auto-exposes each of the 35 shots independently — differences up to 50%. That showed up as visible "walls" in the sky at frame boundaries. Fix: solve a per-frame brightness correction across all 35 frames jointly, then a second pass that levels out whatever's left in smooth areas only (so it doesn't smear texture on the ground). - Delivery format. A single flattened image looks fine until you zoom — then it's mush. We switched to tiled, multi-resolution delivery (like Street View uses) so it stays sharp at any zoom level.

You watched Jake build and deploy a full website in under 10 prompts. Let's see what stuck before you try it yourself. 💬 Drop Your Answer in the Comments 1. What's one thing you'd include in your first prompt that the video showed gets missed? (Logo format? Image direction? Color palette? Form handling?) 2. Which "Key Moment" timestamp are you rewatching before your first build? 3. If you've already built something: How many prompts did it take you? The video benchmark is under 10. If you hit 15+, what would you front-load next time? ✅ Action Step Post your live GitHub Pages URL in the comments when you finish. Include one sentence about what you'd change on the next iteration. Stuck on a deployment error? Screenshot it and post here before burning tokens. Someone else probably hit the same one. Quick Gut Check Where does the build actually start?
