ADVERTISEMENT Show HN: Mapipedia: Platform to show your data on maps and sharing with others
3 by mapipedia | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Mapipedia is a web platform I've created to make it easy for people to share goespatial time series data and display it on animated maps. There's also a social media component that allows you to write comments, follow, share and like data sets. You can also download the CSV data and embed animations into your own websites. I initially posted about Mapipedia in March 2019. I've taken a lot of the feedback on board and done a major overhaul of the site as well adding a lot of new features. I'd appreciate some feedback on overall look and feel (on mobile and desktop - there were problems on mobile previously). However it is best viewed in Chrome on desktops becuase it looks better on larger screens. I've also had some people say the website is blocked but have not been able to figure out why. If you have any thoughts on that it would be appreciated. The site also crashed last time I posted here so I'm wanting to test changes for robustness as well. The main home page is http://bit.ly/37f9Khc Here are some links to try (press Play to start the animation): http://bit.ly/37eIakk http://bit.ly/2RA7ef5 http://bit.ly/2sJd2dL http://bit.ly/36bMmA1 http://bit.ly/2Rbk6cw (Cook's first voyage sailed him around the world) http://bit.ly/2TJvApo http://bit.ly/30EPSSh Thanks for your help!
