And with the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem — or RE9 — appears to continue the series' cu

Show HN: What country you would hit if you went straight where you're pointing

This app was designed to answer my wife’s question “what country would we hit if we went straight” (generally posed while pointing her phone)

But with two additional twists:

1. It loads up historical maps from different years (right now 1 BC, 700 AD, 1000 AD, 1300 AD, 1800 AD, 1900 AD) so you can see what you would hit if you had a time machine AND you went in the direction your phone is pointing
