I have removed the world map from my landing page for now.
When I added it in February, I liked the idea: a compact visual trace of the places I have been, with links to travel posts when I had written one. But after living with it for a while, I kept feeling that the interaction was not good enough. It looked more interesting than it actually felt to use.
So I decided to simplify the page again. I would rather leave something out than keep a feature that feels half-finished. If I come up with a better concept and can polish it properly, I may bring it back in another form.
