Social●Mid

A live global mood map (anonymous, one-click)

The interface nails low friction: a single slider, 'Locate + Save' and multilingual copy lower the bar to participate, and the map uses MapLibre/OpenStreetMap so it looks and feels modern. The privacy-first, no‑account hook is smart for scale, but the project is essentially a neat social experiment — its value depends entirely on getting real, broad participation and defending against sampling bias or spam.
