That map is almost good. If it showed the directions of its edges it'd be great. This post makes me happy. For one thing, it's the best possible post to bring out the news.YC euros.

The great Devin Hunt of Fuzzwich.com (with contributions from the also-great Laurence Honderick of Fuzzwich). It's amazing, isn't it? Was it only the visual design that you liked or did you like the workflow/feel of it too?
