Show HN: I was curious about spherical helix, ended up making this visualization (visualrambling.space)

The name "Mapedia" is a blend of "map" and "encyclopedia," and it perfectly encapsulates what this new platform is all about. Have you ever wished you could not just read about a topic, but also instantly see where its relevant geographical information fits into the world? That's exactly what Mapedia aims to do.

Examples: Travel Planner: https://mapedia.cc/view/ad60d869ba6e571ab58553f53abcddb3 The Hannibalic War: https://mapedia.cc/view/78cf4d7b82f880cec1ee4654caaf2a92 Alexander the Great: https://mapedia.cc/view/2e41609ec857e6a6ba699c1786c5900b Best Places to Visit in China: https://mapedia.cc/view/7433a09f9d0e4bfebf7c44b9fb01b087

So, head over to mapedia.cc right now and give it a spin! I can't wait to hear what you discover and what you think.
