@damonchen Congrats on the growth! How did you overcome the 'cold start' on the marketplace? (i.e. without thousands of downloads and reviews people are reluctant to take the plunge?)
@cfowlerdesign @sivers Great way forward for many reasons. Also if static then simply uploading everything to a Google Cloud storage bucket and pointing your domain to it is pretty cost effective and low admin.
@PaulMainwood As of ~2017 IIRC there was public data crudely mapping trusts to statistical areas, but not individual sites, and not reflecting the real activity flows.
@PaulMainwood When doing this before Iโve used trust data obtained via FOI request with activity per hospital site per LSOA, then weighting each LSOAโs metrics for any given site by the % of activity in each LSOA served by that site & LSOA population, given frequent overlap in catchments.
@cpaik@tszzl Assertion without justification, and again demonstrably false. This argument elides the user and their experience; abstracted so far itโs lost touch with reality.
@cpaik@tszzl I think it pretty plainly does. Active digital travel always requires work by the user in both 2D and 3D. Proximity means fewer clicks/scrolls/menus/portals/whatever UX you choose.
โฆand thatโs assuming the user knows where to go: yet more work which proximity can avoid.
@cpaik@tszzl Proximity and attention are two sides of the same exchange, which gives value to both physical and virtual reality estate.
Travel in the metaverse isnโt zero-cost. UX for instant travel is usually a context switch to abstraction and breaks psychological presence.
