It works! ✨ I've been vibe coding with Cursor to build myself an analytics app… But instead of dashboards, I want a 2D map where the pages on my website are buildings.. The blue dots you see are live traffic to Indie Hackers! It's the start of my own... little "app city" 🗺 This is just the start. Eventually I want to understand what's going on with all my apps at a glance, just by looking at my city from a birds eye view.show more

Would be dope if every page on your site was a city/village and have road between them of paths users take most. Than most popular pages would be huge sprawling cities and smaller pages small towns

That's an interesting idea I was thinking more like each page on my site is a building in my city. With roads between them. (Maybe same idea as yours but saying building instead of city) Then maybe I can click into a building to see how people are using that page

Genius , wow I think the “game”-like UX is the future of b2b Ux Im cooking smth like that too

Excited to see what you're working on, you do so much it's cray

siiick would be funny to have way to make a speech bubble pop up on my visitor dot

What like you can chat to me on the Indie Hackers website, and I see that on your dot on the map?

Supercool and different

I love this so much! Data visualization can be so charming and intuitive when done right!

I think it takes a lot of training to really get a feel for data, but physical spaces are very intuitive, very natural

What draws you to representing it as a city? Are you hoping you'll get a sense of presence, like feeling the vibes at different times? Or are you hoping by staring at it long enough, you can "read" the flows, like the matrix? Or you just thought it was fun to look at?

Just feels more intuitive Like if I owned a store or a shopping mall I could tell at a glance what the vibes are, what people like, where people are going But if I own a bunch of apps (or even just one app) I literally have no idea I think it's generally the case that the digital world is unintuitive. The analogy I always liked was that nobody would build a 40lb coffee cup with six handles. But the equivalent happens in the digital world all the time, because it's just not an intuitive place. The physical world transmits a lot more information to us, and it's what we evolved to understand. I'm curious to play with this analogy and see where it goes. Also it's just fun!
