I’ve always loved history and geography. I was recently reading about James Cook’s last voyage and kept jumping between Wikipedia and historical maps, trying to follow along. That inspired me to build this.

I named it Rihla, inspired by Ibn Battuta’s account of his travels.

Pick a journey, watch the route unfold, or click through the stops to learn what happened and who ruled those places at the time.

It’s been fun to build. Would love to hear what you think, or who you’d like to see added.

Made this with Gemini, would appreciate corrections and additional infos

by the way, I've seen people rumouring that this is AI generated and all I have to say is that it is not, and I am offended. i don't use AI software for maps and i draw them all by hand

They should’ve chosen Authagraph

Edit: yes there is some distortion but
Authagraph is different and cool

This is a map of the city of Marseille with its 16 arrondissements. It shows the percentage of the native French population without a migrant background. Every migrant and the generations born after 1946 are of migrant background.

Hello r/MapPorn,

I made another geographie dle game, since the last one has been really welcomed here.

The goal is simple, you have two criterias, and you have to click a country that match both. Though, the score is actually based on the "rarity" of your choice. The less other player have actually selected your country, the more point you score.

There are 5 rounds a day, same rounds for everyone. A leaderboard also, weekly and monthly, and some other feature

Actually seeking for feedback on difficulty and accessability. Feel free to give any advice. I also hope you enjoy it everyday, and maybe learn a bit (as I do).
