Feb 9 → May 19, 2026.
100 consecutive days of GIS, 3D maps, WebGL, client work, experiments, and spatial storytelling.
I collected the full campaign in an interactive calendar:

The campaign is complete. I’m open to selective collaborations on spatial platforms, 3D visualization, and interactive mapping systems.
Huge thanks to everyone who followed along. 🚀

Day 100. Silent Moon 🌘
When Artemis II carried four humans around the far side of the Moon again, the story was easy to follow, but the trajectory still felt abstract. A browser scene where the mission path stays readable in motion: orbital vector context, scroll-driven narrative, camera locks, then atmosphere and contrast for dark space.
Still a WIP. Day 100 of #100DayMapChallenge complete. Thank you for following. The work continues. ❤️
A personal note before Day 100 🗺️
I started this campaign as a test, not a plan. Open-source first, which pushed me into programming and browser-native maps. 🎮
The next chapter I want most: projects that genuinely help people. Maps as portals back into the real world, not escape. Mountains, conversation, and time offline still matter. ⛰️
Posting across seven platforms every day cost more energy than I expected. Thank you for following along. ❤️
Day 99. Campaign Reflection 🎉
Not every post was a map. 99/100 days. Toolchain grew from QGIS and D3.js into Three.js, MapLibre, React 19, and AI-assisted dev in Cursor.
A few that stayed: discipline beats inspiration, shipping beats perfecting, technical skills compound, AI in the workflow not at the wheel (Inner Fire proved it AI helpers, all human-reviewed), community makes solo work meaningful.
Day 100 arrives tomorrow.
Week 14 Reflection
A week moving between stylized cartography, local geography, cinematic WebGL experiments, and realtime seismic monitoring.
Hong Kong became crosshatched shader linework. Cluj turned into walkability and forest terrain studies. In The Clouds continued the supertall storytelling thread.
But Inner Fire ended up defining the week: a realtime seismic monitor .
Week 15 begins today.

Day 98. The Earth in Blender 🌍
A careful Blender pass through modeling, materials, and light can be as useful as another live dataset when the goal is clarity. Inspiration: Andrew Price’s Earth tutorial.
The first globe pushed from blockout to finished render, it sparked the question that later drove browser-first, real-time spatial work: what if this were interactive, not static?

Day 97. Hot air balloons everywhere! 🪂
Late-campaign lightweight piece: one clear visual idea, but still built on a proper geospatial stack.
Hot air balloon glTF above dense 3D buildings in Mapbox GL JS, with animation + lighting in a custom Three.js layer rendered over the map WebGL canvas.
Playful interaction, geographically anchored.

Day 96. Inner Fire 🔥
Inner Fire is my current attempt at treating global seismic activity less like static map data and more like a living planetary pulse unfolding through time.
Built with React 19, React Three Fiber, GLSL, MapLibre, and the live USGS earthquake feed.
It also became my first serious experiment using AI as a coding collaborator

Day 95. In The Clouds 🏢
In The Clouds explores supertall architecture through a playful interactive map where landmark towers are rebuilt as stacked, brick-like forms.
It grows from Day 82, Lego City 🧱.
Implementation: MapLibre GL JS + custom Three.js/WebGL layer, GSAP transitions, CSV building metadata, and GeoJSON overlays for filtering and comparisons.
Featured in the WebGL/WebGPU showcase. 🔗

Day 94. Cluj County forests, România 🌳💚
Quieter, more personal chapter after playful map experiments: Cluj County as one continuous story of canopy + relief.
Workflow stays grounded in QGIS preprocessing and Three.js/WebGL rendering, while swipe interaction makes mountain growth feel tactile instead of purely visual.
