Some of the global challenges got me thinking about this.
I think it would be really cool if there was a statistic somewhere that shows how much of the world (or how much of the public streets within city boundaries) all CityStrides users have run collectively.
So basically, if you took everyone’s LifeMap and overlaid them all, what would our percentage of completed streets be for the entire world? Entire continents? Entire US?
Obviously a global LifeMap would be wayyyy too much to render. But just a statistic that gets re-computed once a day would be pretty cool.
I agree and really like this idea. Also, maybe a map for Nodevember would be great to see all streets completed for this citystides community event. I think its awesome that we have runners who have ran in 86 countries according to the live updating dashboard.
We’ve completed 6,495,337 of 18,971,441 streets that are present (this excludes streets in nested cities). So, about 34%.
I don’t have every street in the world in CityStrides, though.
The homepage (only visible while logged out) shows the people/city/street stats.
A long time ago, I used to have a stats page. I think I dropped that after it became too expensive to keep the data accurate. It takes minutes to count completed streets.
I kind of struggle with where this info would go.
There’s a Countries page that is linked from every city page (the globe icon up top). If I went that route, I’d probably want to normalize it across all country/region/city pages somehow.
I could look into bringing the Stats page back - raw numbers of people/activities/completed streets/cities & countries touched.
