  Nice! there is a website with a similar concept for San Francisco: https://opensfhistory.org/maps/index.php

  Nice! It's like taking a stroll through the city across time. With accumulated data, tracking the city's progression from a fixed viewpoint would be even more fascinating.

  Awesome.

  Any plans to make it global?

  I think there is a lot of people who document (urban) landscape and would like to place their photos into map together with the view vector.

  OldMapsOnline has a lot of georeferenced old map layers from around the world…

    Yes! This is on the horizon, and I have a number of groups across the U.S. who have committed to helping grow Yesterdays in their localities.

    Here is the relevant GitHub issue if you'd like a peek at where this is headed:
