Maybe add [180MB] to the title, similar to how videos or pdfs are tagged? It starts loading that immediately when you open the page, which would be 18% of my data bundle if I had been on mobile
(This is actually transferred bytes btw, based on seeing ~12MiB/s for ~15 seconds in the system monitor)
Edit: some people are saying they can't view it, especially on mobile browsers. Here's some screenshots:
- Landing overview https://snipboard.io/YTQRZc.jpg https://snipboard.io/YTQRZc.jpg
- Zooming into the center, hovering over an item that is too small to see but the title shows in a tooltip: https://snipboard.io/xOvA47.jpg https://snipboard.io/xOvA47.jpg
- Zoomed in further still, now an individual item can be targeted easily and there are lines delimiting topics (looking like height lines on a map): https://snipboard.io/P6UVAv.jpg https://snipboard.io/P6UVAv.jpg
- Hovering over the year selector on the bottom left, same zoom position for comparison: https://snipboard.io/VDW2JI.jpg https://snipboard.io/VDW2JI.jpg
Clicking the year seems not to do anything, you can't lock into that view. Clicking a title opens the page, not the discussion thread.

Looking into the corresponding GitHub repository (I wonder if they have a bandwidth limit for repositories or if it will foot any bill), <https://github.com/lmcinnes/datamapplot_examples https://github.com/lmcinnes/datamapplot_examples>, there's also a visualization for Wikipedia which is a bit less heavy: https://lmcinnes.github.io/datamapplot_examples/Wikipedia_data_map_example.html https://lmcinnes.github.io/datamapplot_examples/Wikipedia_da...

- walterbell 2y ago180MB download per HN visitor isn't going to be fun for the server either. More civilized would be a photo snapshot + optional link to 180MB download for interactive UX.
- lucb1e 2y agoA photo could work as a quick preview indeed. As another idea for large content spiking in popularity, another solution may be something like webtorrent, or whatever peertube uses Or a vector map, loading data as needed for the region you're zooming into
- odo1242 2y ago180MB is probably fine for most servers (especially CDNs), to be honest. My M1 MacBook with 16 gigabytes of RAM is struggling to load/display the data though.

- winter_blue 2y agoDoesn't GitHub Pages have a CDN?
- walterbell 2y agoPresumably there are higher CDN limits for paid Github accounts.
- tomthe 2y agoI made a similar map but with tiles that only load of you zoom in far enough: tomthe.github.io/hackmap/ (Sorry for posting my link so often) That way it has to load only a few megabyte for the first view.
