    Anyone know what’s the underling map/tile technology used? I’m on my phone and can’t check

    I played with the map a little bit. I think its cool at the first glance. What is missing is how it necessarily applies to me, user? I can understand that probably what makes people truly happy universally is applicable to me. But probably could use some quick guidance. You say it in your description - story, although this moment is buried in longer description of methodology. I also had to figure out on my own that each individual response is example of what can make me happy. Still, I think this map has potential for more cool features base don this data.

      This isn't a product.

    For a 'happy map' there is a bizarrely puritanical deficit of orgasms. EDIT: oh wait I found one about backrubbing. That's nice I guess.

    Children/family = least agency, while buying something = most agency? I must be misunderstanding something big time.

      You can’t always control what your children or family do. You are in control of what you buy.

        You can (and indeed must) control a lot about whether family, especially children, make you happy.

        Also many people don't seem to control what they buy.

        I have 3 kids and they are still young and I barely control how they behave :) It will be even more terrible later

      The makes sense when you look at the responses themselves.

      Children/family are mostly containing answers such as "My son visited me on Mother's Day.", which you can't really cause yourself.

        Of course you can, you just have to cause it years in advance.
