I changed one thing and suddenly cities made sense for absolute beginners
Would love to hear how other people handle this. I am especially curious about the version that works on a tired weekday, not just on an ideal Sunday.
A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

The vibe here is immaculate. The low-effort version is probably the keeper. Local context changes everything.

This has cozy competence written all over it. This makes me want to look at a map for an hour.

This made me smile more than expected. The Mumbai example makes it feel concrete.
