Good job on the usability. I made this with some friends that lets you see where businesses fail (specific to CO) but we never quite got the user interface done right: http://churn.rocks/#/map

Thank you. I was going to go a different direction with it and I'm glad I didn't. These type of sites are hard to UI/UX for. Mobile especially, yuck...

I couldn't say much good about the current mobile rendering, that's true. I guess it's because the map view is so huge while the nav bar doesn't extend down based on the height of the screen.

I feel like a dick but it's my fault that I wasn't wasn't clear. I meant in principle, accounting for mostly full-page map UIs is a fucking hassle for mobile :)

The concept is solid, don't get me wrong. Design is hard and it's definitely not my personal strong point! Is it all in the same repo that you linked me the other day?

Yep, it's up on that account.

Yeah the UI is very natural. However my first instinct was to look for an about page explaining what each pin was, since clicking on the link sent me there before it sent me here.

You're not the only one - I added a sentence. Thank you.
