Day 24: 30 Day Map Challenge - Places and their names

I mapped a set of places whose names feel funny, cozy, or dramatic. It's quite interesting how much personality a name can hold.

Day 23: 30 Day Map Challenge - Process

Tried something different today by showing the rendering process. Using the ArcGIS JS SDK components, I animated how a map assembles itself layer by layer, with a few bloom effects for fun.

Day 22: 30 Day Map Challenge - Data challenge: Natural Earth

I created a clean world map using a Natural Earth-derived dataset. Tap any country to reveal its category.

Day 21: 30 Day Map Challenge - Icons

I created a glowing lighthouse map of Maine. Each icon shows the lighthouse status and pulses softly along the coastline.

Day 20: 30 Day Map Challenge - Water

I built a fully simulated prototype that shows a fake flood or spill event. The ripple effect is a visual idea for how an impact radius could look in a real app.

Day 19: 30 Day Map Challenge - Projections

I took the World Countries layer from the ArcGIS Living Atlas and ran it through a loop of different map projections using D3. Same data, many different ways of seeing the world.

Day 18: 30 Day Map Challenge - Out of this world

I built a meteor shower effect by layering an HTML5 canvas animation on top of a Leaflet map with a dark basemap. The meteors are random, but this pattern could power real-time visualizations, as well.

Day 17: 30 Day Map Challenge - A new tool

I tried the just out of beta ArcGIS chart components with the ArcGIS map components. Selecting bars in the chart highlights features on the map, and clicking the map selects the matching bar.

Day 16: 30 Day Map Challenge - Cell

I mapped 2020 census block groups as tiny population cells across the US, shading each one by people per square mile to show how density shifts from coast to coast.

Zoomed-in walkable cores for DC, Amsterdam, Tokyo, and London. I used Overpass to pull OSM footways, pedestrian streets, and steps, styled on top of an ArcGIS dark basemap.
