you can't specify other aspect ratio for frames v2/mini-apps, right? it's just always the vertical portrait mode?

alright i ended up with a mix of gemini flash and http://locatenyc.io/ for intersection coords, then geo math for some buffer, and generate geoJSON from it. e.g "3rd ave btw 60th and 70th" will use the LLM to generate JSON like this: { "type": "specific_street_segment", "main_street": "3rd Ave", "start_intersection": "60th St", "end_intersection": "70th St", "borough": "Manhattan" } Then i can get the intersections and geocode them, then generate the JSON (outside of the LLM). Also works for more vague areas, even with typos because LLMs are great: "anything from 14th st to 20th st, btw 1st ave and 3rd ae" => { "type": "region", "avenue_start": "1st Ave", "avenue_end": "3rd Ave", "street_start": "14th St", "street_end": "20th St", "borough": "Manhattan" } Computers! They did it again!

that's a good idea but it has to be accurate. basically need a polygon that kind of wraps the street, taking into account addresses on both sides. i talked to a civil engineer i knew, he was like "you're gonna need some AI shit". i guess i will be that AI shit! 😅

Yeah luckily it’s just NYC so I can take some shortcuts. But it does come down to laboriously picking out edges and then geocoding them. I need this all to send the boundaries to another API, but that’s the easy part. I’ll post back here once I sort something out!

Thanks! https://locatenyc.io/ is really good too for midpoints and block details. But I need a polygon wrapping a region, not a midpoint. I think the solution is going to be an LLM normalizing the input and then running multiple geo code operations on the bits it can extract?

What's the best approach for flexible geocoding in NYC that can handle descriptive locations like '3rd Ave between 30th and 40th St' and return coordinates for that area? Looking for solutions that can process both specific addresses and approximate area descriptions!

Come help me out 😅 Actually just trying to replace the in-door speakers but that’s not covered, I guess it’s not a mechanical issue.
