It doesn't look very graphics-intensive, yet runs at about 2FPS on Safari, on my 3.8GHz quad core i5. The site's performance could use an investigation by a software developer.

  Sounds like something is off somewhere indeed, because on mobile safari it is running very smoothly for me. Cannot tell the exact FPS, except that it is at least 60 or more.

  Runs OK on mobile Edge on an inexpensive 3 year old phone (Android, Galaxy S23 5G).

  So yeah, interesting indeed.

    Tried it with Firefox running on the same machine and it's fine. Looks like the dev forgot to test with desktop Safari, or my version doesn't support a critical graphics API.

      I used it in Safari and it had good FPS, so it may be due to your specific version, or maybe an extension.

Awesome project!

It looks like the Physical & Active Hobbies sector is populated exclusively by books in the northeast portion and video games in the southwest. It might be a direct swap with the Gaming & Virtual Worlds sector, which contains some physical activity events.

I would really, really love it to have some sort of conclusion / interpretation / aggregated data.

Anyone know what’s the underling map/tile technology used? I’m on my phone and can’t check

  I'm fairly certain it uses deck.gl

zomming enough should make all comments visible

  I agree. It would make it easier to get a quick idea.

  It's one of those websites that's an instant click from me. Whatever they make, I know it will be interesting.

A happy map that makes me sad.

  Why?

For a 'happy map' there is a bizarrely puritanical deficit of orgasms. EDIT: oh wait I found one about backrubbing. That's nice I guess.

I for one am looking forward to retirement. I am planning on being high all the time, gardening and yelling at children passing by my property. Growing my hair and beard, wearing a bandana and a tie-dyed shirt and paying for my coffee in quarters in a wooden treasure box I carry as a purse. The goal is to liberate the crazy.

  All the things you think you would enjoy might not hit the spot at all when you will retire.

  Learned that when took 2 years off work.

    Yea. Having a purpose and bonding with other people on the way to achieving it are underrated elements of being working age.

    If you're not conscious about it in retirement, it's easy to just do nothing, waste away, and find out many years too late. You actually need different ingredients to feel satisfied.

There might be a bug with the age filters. I'm seeing some 20s and 60s mixed up.

Children/family = least agency, while buying something = most agency? I must be misunderstanding something big time.

  You can’t always control what your children or family do. You are in control of what you buy.

    I have 3 kids and they are still young and I barely control how they behave :) It will be even more terrible later

  • jojobas

    You can (and indeed must) control a lot about whether family, especially children, make you happy.

    Also many people don't seem to control what they buy.

  The makes sense when you look at the responses themselves.

  Children/family are mostly containing answers such as "My son visited me on Mother's Day.", which you can't really cause yourself.

  • jojobas

    Of course you can, you just have to cause it years in advance.

Too bad it uses OpenGL so I can't open it. I usually love this website.

I played with the map a little bit. I think its cool at the first glance. What is missing is how it necessarily applies to me, user? I can understand that probably what makes people truly happy universally is applicable to me. But probably could use some quick guidance. You say it in your description - story, although this moment is buried in longer description of methodology. I also had to figure out on my own that each individual response is example of what can make me happy. Still, I think this map has potential for more cool features base don this data.
