It doesn't look very graphics-intensive, yet runs at about 2FPS on Safari, on my 3.8GHz quad core i5. The site's performance could use an investigation by a software developer.

Anyone know what’s the underling map/tile technology used? I’m on my phone and can’t check

Pudding continue to be awesome. I'm so glad they exist.

For a 'happy map' there is a bizarrely puritanical deficit of orgasms. EDIT: oh wait I found one about backrubbing. That's nice I guess.

Too bad it uses OpenGL so I can't open it. I usually love this website.

Children/family = least agency, while buying something = most agency? I must be misunderstanding something big time.

I played with the map a little bit. I think its cool at the first glance. What is missing is how it necessarily applies to me, user? I can understand that probably what makes people truly happy universally is applicable to me. But probably could use some quick guidance. You say it in your description - story, although this moment is buried in longer description of methodology. I also had to figure out on my own that each individual response is example of what can make me happy. Still, I think this map has potential for more cool features base don this data.
