Happy Map

5 days ago (pudding.cool)

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

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.

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

  • 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.
