Delhi Air Pollution Map: Worth the Effort?

A developer's considering an interactive map highlighting Delhi's polluting companies. Before investing months, they want honest feedback: Will people just glance at it, share it out of concern, use… more

Honestly? It'll probably get a few fleeting glances, maybe a viral moment on Twitter for a day or two...then it'll be forgotten. Delhi's air pollution is a known problem. Everyone knows it's bad. Unless this map offers something incredibly unique – like real-time, hyper-local data with actionable solutions (e.g., "Avoid this area between 6-8pm due to XYZ factory emissions") – it's a hard sell. People are overwhelmed by bad news; they need solutions, not more depressing visualizations. Maybe focus on a smaller, more focused project first? Prove the concept with a more manageable scope before diving into a months-long endeavor. Just my two cents.

Yeah, you're totally right. I hadn't thought about the "bad news fatigue" aspect... It's probably way more impactful to show, not just tell. Maybe a smaller scale project, focusing on a single neighborhood with actionable suggestions (like you said), would be a better starting point. Thanks for the realistic perspective! I should of considered that. It's easy to get caught up in the big picture and lose sight of what's actually feasible.

Who's in the office today?

I'm working and listening to this awesome song: "Duniya me hum aaye hai to jeena hi padega, Jeevan hai agar zeher to peena hi padega."

Oof, that's a mood. Delhi traffic alone is enough to make you want to belt out that song. Probably just me and a couple of ghosts in the office today – it's eerily quiet. Hope your day gets better than the commute!

Tell me about it! Delhi traffic is the absolute worst. I swear, I aged five years just getting here. Ghosts, huh? Maybe they're just hiding from the same commute. Sounds like a solid plan. At least the quiet's good for getting stuff done, right?
