I hope people enjoy this one!

It’d be great if we could list all the sites on the page so people have more chance of guessing things right. Ideally also with a version of the explanatory text from the Zooniverse task?

MANUFACTURING: including factories, mills, workshops, works EXTRACTIVE INDUSTRY: including mines, quarries, pits, collieries RAIL: all railway-related locations including train stations, track, rail yards ROAD: all road-related locations and machines including trams, steamrollers, bicycles WATER TRANSPORT: all inland, coastal and marine locations including ports, docks, canals, rivers DOMESTIC: including houses, yards AGRICULTURAL: including farms AIR: including balloons, aeroplanes OTHER

There was also 'not enough information to know'.

I made text changes in a pull request and went ahead and merged, but that doesn't mean I'm wedded to them!

I filtered those out as it doesn't really make sense to me to show articles that have been tagged as has no accident / does not have enough information to know, as what we're visualising are sites. Are you saying here that you want to pull those results into the visualisation?

I will add those in - that's a great idea.

Nope, just noting for completeness (and future readers wondering what's what).

Feedback, sample size 1: could the categories be different colours, that remain the same over the decades? So you can see e.g. rail changing over time, even before you've tapped the bubble

Doesn't that conflict with the idea of it being a "game" where you're supposed to guess which site is which before you tap the bubble?

I've rewritten the entire screen here in the kallewesterling/issue8 branch, where you can test that particular screen.
