Show HN: Sonde – Open-source LLM analytics (track brand mentions across LLMs)

Hi HN!

We built Sonde (https://github.com/compiuta-origin/sonde-analytics) after noticing - probably like everybody else - our website traffic was declining while prospects were telling us "I found you through ChatGPT".

We wanted to understand our visibility across LLM responses, as we did in the good old days of SEO and web analytics. Since existing tools were enterprise-tier expensive, we built Sonde as a simple internal project to:

- schedule prompts to run against multiple LLMs, with web search enabled - track whether your brand is mentioned in responses, how it ranks vs. competitors and general sentiment - monitor trends over time

Tech stack: Supabase, Next.js, OpenRouter as LLM wrapper.

Sonde is fully open-source and you can self-host it via Docker Compose. We're also offering a managed version for convenience, running with complete feature parity.

Sonde has fundamentally changed how we approach content strategy for our products: I'd love to get feedback on it, or hear how you're currently tracking LLM visibility!

Show HN: WebGL mipmap renderer for a zoomable R/place on a real world map

I built a pixel canvas where you place tiles at real lat/lon coordinates on a world map – a 1.6M × 1.6M pixel grid (2.6 trillion addressable pixels). The technical challenge was making it feel smooth from zoom level 0 (whole world) to zoom level 18 (individual pixels).

What I tried and what worked:

- Canvas2D → WebGL: At wide zoom, Canvas2D couldn't keep up redrawing millions of pixels. Switched to a WebGL renderer with mipmap-style tile pyramids – pre-rendered lower-res textures for each zoom level, only loading full-res tiles when you're close enough.

- Viewport-scoped SSE: Instead of broadcasting all pixel updates to every client, the server only streams changes within your current viewport bounds. Cuts bandwidth by ~95% for a sparse map.

- Mercator pixel mapping: Each pixel maps to a real geographic coordinate. The tricky part was making pixel density feel uniform despite Mercator distortion at high latitudes.

- Seeded pixel art: Pre-placed recognizable characters in major cities so new users see something interesting immediately instead of a blank map.

Stack: Node.js, WebGL, SSE, S3 tile storage, Lambda for tile generation.

Free to use, no account required to browse. Still early – would love feedback on the rendering approach.
