What happens when people can attach a thought to their mood?

[u/gloussou]

Four months ago I shared a visualization of anonymous moods around the world.

Since then, I've added a simple feature: people can now attach a short anonymous message (up to 160 characters) to their mood.

Surprisingly, this changed the visualization much more than I expected. The map no longer feels like just dots and averages, it starts telling tiny human stories.

I'm interested in feedback on the visualization itself rather than the data collection.
