Show HN: Turn your name into a tree in an infinite procedural shanshui landscape

Hi HN! I made this after collecting hundreds of "name → tree" submissions at ITP. Live: https://landscape.bairui.dev/ Source: https://github.com/pearmini/infinite-landscape Plant a tree: https://tree.bairui.dev/ Pan and zoom an infinite procedural landscape. Each name is converted to ASCII codes, which grow into a unique tree (breadth-first branching; repeated digits become mathematical roses). Mountains use midpoint displacement + Perlin noise, with SVG radial gradients in the blue/green/gold palette from Wang Ximeng's "A Thousand Li of Rivers and Mountains." Inspired by Lingdong Huang's {Shan, Shui}* (https://github.com/LingDong-/shan-shui-inf). Every tree is someone's name, signed with an APack stamp (https://apack.bairui.dev/).

i bought the 6" display from eink.com to build a small personal art project - an infinite scrolling procedurally generated landscape based on this project - https://github.com/LingDong-/shan-shui-inf A few gotchas: 1. some of these eink boards are hard to procure as a consumer. the vendors want you to be a company 2. the driver boards are purchased separately, are definitely required, and sometimes have windows software (vs easy to use rasp-pi drivers) 3. support is often difficult or from the OEM so english-language communication can be difficult.
