@moeamaya @ianjanicki @calebarclay the form asking if I am moving do not accept names of two biggest global cities as valid, something is a bit off with validation. I would love to see this project scaling and covering Hong Kong! It would be wonderful to capture not only where but when people plan to move - in HK I see a lot of people dependent on the contracts, so they would plan a year ahead. Seeing this data would be amazing.

@moeamaya @ianjanicki @calebarclay this chart blew my mind — so this is well timed!

@chrismessina Once we saw the open data Sam put out there (see link below), @calebarclay & I immediately said, we had to build this! What else would you like to see in the product? https://docs.google.com/spreadsh...

@moeamaya @ianjanicki @calebarclay super cool project. Love seeing Trends data be out to good use. What no-code tools did you use to make this? The visuals are 🔥

@myron_shneider Webflow+Airtable+Parabola (with a side of custom JS + Leaflet for the maps)

Thanks @rgomezp. What else would you like to see in the product?

@ianjanicki I think it would be helpful to have some graphs that show how the percentages change over time for each city. Also, you may be doing this already but I think it should be based on a moving time-window over the data so that stale responses are weighted less or not at all. Or add the ability to select "past month", "past 6 months", etc...

@rgomezp Love this. If we can get statistically-significant data over time we should be able to make this happen!

@sandochee So far, the survey responses have predominantly been US cities but the more responses from different parts of the world, the more cities will be updated on the site.

@sandochee @calebarclay My city isn't valid, so I couldn't add a move/stay/leave.

@sandochee @calebarclay @ianmayman stumbled on the same, and it is not clear from the UI. Is it Hong Kong is not valid?

@ihrd I got it to work, could you try it again?

@nic_acton We put our sources in the footer of all of pages. Do you think it could be more clear?

@ianjanicki All meant respectfully and constructively: So you say your sources are Trends and The Hustle. That would be like saying your source is Wikipedia. Both of those sources are also paywalled and the details are obscured. What specific data from either of those sources are you using? How does data from either of those sources hold authority or confidence in the domain you're attempting to tackle? Why should I have any confidence that the data from either of those sources is indicative of "showing where people are moving and why"?

@nic_acton Hey Nic, thanks for the feedback. For full transparency, here is the original data, it is fully public and available: https://docs.google.com/spreadsh... We put a lot of work into categorizing and geocoding this data, and hopefully we can open-source that data in the future! Obviously this is non-scientific data — this is merely based on a survey with several thousand entries and biased to those who read The Hustle — make your own assumptions on what that demographic looks like. We are open to other sources if we feel they could convey: Directionally, what are the moving trends in 2020. There are a lot people making unexpected living choices based on many trends this year, and this was the best data we had come across.

@ianjanicki So the data is derived from the survey form at the bottom right of the page, and presumably you included a survey in a copy of Trends and The Hustle newsletter in the early phases of this product? I could not follow any of that based on any links or documents on the site itself. That all seems fine, and data that isn't necessarily indicative of a broad stroke of the overall population can still be valuable, but I would say everything you just said is not "provided by trends.co and thehustle.co". As an aside, appreciate the data. I think the value will be less in the "how many people are moving" but more some NLP into the "why?" That's a component that other datasets will be missing.
