Ekul @gRegor reminds me of this site which I use quite frequently across several Discord channels 😅: https://dontasktoask.com/

[morgan] This page is new on my personal website: https://www.morganwebdev.org/coffee-crawl/ . Its about a coffee event you are all welcome to attend in May if you are around the city I live in 🙂 !
#
burgeonlab Morgan: If I was in Bellingham, I'd join, but I'm probably one of the furthest away from you from the group today 😅. Are there actually quite a lot of specialty coffee folks here on IndieWeb? ☕👋

#
[morgan] Your spirit is the closest of anyone potentially! because your website is ⭐ ! yes a few coffee folks around 😄
#
[morgan] the coffee chat waxes and wanes a little, there was a while when everyone seemed to be making `/coffee` pages and rating particular cafes but not quite lately
#
Ekul This has given me an idea for a mini project. An interactive map where users can add themsleves, it will display clickable markers where we can see usernames, name (optional), and a link to website. It wouldn't be down to the exact location of course, but city.
#
Ekul Unless something like this already exists -- in which case, pardon my ignorance 😅
#
[morgan] Im really interested in this idea! Ive been wondering about maps and different ways of updating people on the crawl about my location for example
#
[morgan] It poses interesting questions. Like as far as maps and interactivity goes, does it need to be familiar enough for them to really work? Like will my relatives who are elder ages who are attending understand my custom map thing? Or does it need to be similar enough to google maps or something they can relate with

#
burgeonlab Thanks Morgan for your support as always. I'm more of a coffee home brewer, so I think my /coffee page would be about that instead of coffee shops haha. It's on my to do list but there's so much I want to do, not enough time. ;p I like your idea Ekul. Esp if it was in your super cool CLI theme

#
[Sophia_wood] I've thought about the interactive map thing, but then I just made it static. I used leaflet and openstreetMap.

Ekul So, here is what I had in mind. A place for all IndieWeb users to add themselves to a map, since I know we're based all over the world. Not sure if there is much interest in this, but here is the link: https://ekul.me/indieweb
#
[aciccarello] Added!
#
Ekul Awesome!

#
gRegor Ok, Big Brother. jk :)
#
Ekul Haha, that's why I made the markers snap to city and not the computer chair in your house ;)
#
gRegor Ekul++ very quick from idea to implementation! nice
#
Loqi Ekul has 6 karma over the last year
#
gRegor Does your site show the cursor location for other visitors? I'm seeing little dots with "user_####" under them
#
Ekul Yes those are live cursors from people on the site :)
#
gRegor haha that's amazing
#
CrimeWave we were racing our cursors around :P
#
gRegor I was one of thoe :D
#
gRegor *those
#
Ekul Haha cat and mouse over there 😅
#
gRegor Reminds me of isitchristmas.com on December 25. you get a flag emoji to move around and can "stamp" briefly on the page so you can make little designs.
#
gRegor And there is chat integrated in the dev console
#
Ekul Ooh nice! I'll have to bookmark that.
#
Ekul I just checked it out and was greeted by a huge "NO" in Japanese lmao.

#
gRegor yep! I love single serving websites like that
#
burgeonlab Ekul++ that was quick! I added myself (HK) but the country code is wrong (it should be CN, but idk why it is showing XX)
#
Loqi Ekul has 7 karma over the last year

#
Ekul burgeonlab thank you! I have just looked into it and I can see that Mapbox returns HK as a region rather than a country, so it was returning XX. I will fix this and update your entry! 🙏🏻
#
burgeonlab Sorry about the trouble, thanks. It technically is a SAR (special administrative region) so the map is 'politically correct' haha
#
Ekul Should we have Hong Kong return HK or CN, you know better than me :D

capjamesg burgeonlab I too love speciality coffee 😄

#
burgeonlab CN would be the most correct as that's the Country code, but most places (like in shipping address dropdowns, HK exists as a 'country' which is wrong; it's a city). What you have now is fine, thanks Ekul!

burgeonlab capjamesg: Nice! I'm happy to know that as that was my main hobby before I escaped Instagram's downward spiral. Maybe there could be a "filter 2.0" like Tantek's "espresso 2.0"!
