Why

I’m away for six+ months, this is the easiest way to keep people in the loop.

Decisions for V1

• Mapbox > OpenStreetMap due to the ease of styling.
• The early plan included blog entries and photo uploads but once sketched out felt v 2009. Check-ins do the work instead, kind of like IG stories without using a Meta product. Aiming for this site to be a live pin board, not a blog.
• The timeline is there to collate daily updates and will be expanded on in later updates.

Changelog

• v1.0 – 26 July 2026

  Map, current location, check-ins, popup content, route lines.

Still to come

• Pixel-Arina and Pixel-Kate
• A little wave animation before the map settles
• Running distance tally
• Trips from before this sabbatical, mapped in
