BOND is an interactive map that allows users to create "feeling" points on an interactive world map. All posts are anonymous, which means everyone has an equal voice, an equal mark on the map. Upon clicking on someone else's feeling, users can show their support, reach out, and converse with anonymous authors globally. To prevent hateful remarks, users can collectively report and delete thread messages deemed inappropriate for the purpose of BOND. If a certain location has many people creating feelings, the collective area will glow with a "BOND" that shows the increased activity in the area, either purely from population density or from users all around the world showing solidarity or compassion towards an event. This allows users to get real, raw connection with others, showing compassion, love, and connection to anybody, from anywhere on Earth.
Built solo for HackRice 15 - Rice University's hackathon for 2025.
