Good List Visualized

As I've been writing the good list series of posts, I've been interested in visualizing the activities on a map. I could've created a shared google maps list, but I wanted to do something a little more bespoke, specifically around the design. I also find the google maps lists to be cluttered; my default maps view is filled with pins.

So I spent an hour with claude code this morning converting the lists into usable shape and rendering on a beautiful watercolor inspired map from Stadia / Stamen:

I think it came out quite well. I find the visualization to add an extra dimension, well, quite literally of space.
