hkopendata
This repo contains miscellaneous tools for downloading and analysing open geospatial data in Hong Kong.
It also serves as a monorepo of my old toy projects. They are largely written in good ol’ jquery and plain JS. Links to github pages:
old/btehk-3dmap: A 3D map/visualisation of Hong Kong aimed to help builders of the BuildTheEarth HK Community.old/mtr: Check MTR times easier.old/cky-bus: Check KMB bus times at my secondary school.
These still work, but are pretty cringe and will be rewritten in the future.
