That story map is beautiful!

I have a somewhat unrelated question. Do you ever see the world moving to rendering content completely on a WebGL canvas, for better control and with the ability to circumvent ad blockers?




Hmmm I'm not sure if it could be properly used to circumvent ad blocking, after all the ads will still probably come from a separate request which one could block.

However I do see it being used for web apps that prioritise performance--in terms of providing a smooth experience, rather than load times. I think Figma already does that (through emscripten or wasm, I'm not sure); for it to be more widespread, only the tooling has to catch up (e.g. React Native).


I agree, that map is amazing. I particularly like the way you can see exactly where the photos were taken.


Also thanks, I'm particularly proud of that map hahah
