The Last Project of My Life, Starting Now ①

Introduction

I am in my second year as a late-stage elderly person.
The other day, I was rejected from joining Coincheck due to my age, and I am feeling the reality of it now.
They likely mean that I am at an age where I cannot make sound judgments regarding the risks of cryptocurrency.
Indeed, if I were to fail financially at this age, there would be no chance for a comeback.
If I am going to do something, this will be the last time.
So, what shall I do?

What to leave behind for the world

There were two famous people in my hometown village (which became a city after a merger).
They left behind self-published books as proof that they lived.
But many people pass away without leaving anything behind.
What to leave behind is an important issue for many elderly people.
I have even used "what to leave behind after death" as a theme in a study group.
It is a topic with large individual differences and many areas people prefer not to touch.
The conclusion at the study group was that it is not a theme that can be discussed.

Now is the age of the internet.
You can leave something behind on note.
At first, I was registering materials for the study group on note.
Next, I started searching through materials I had left behind from my active working days and began writing.
I believe many elderly people possess a wealth of assets with unknown financial value, such as the vast amount of experience, knowledge, and know-how they have accumulated so far.
Also, those with a high desire to learn will continue to increase their assets.

note burnout period

It is difficult to continue pouring things out onto note over a long period of time.
Even if you have many assets created in the past, a burnout period arrives after a certain point.
You start to be able to predict how many likes or comments an article will get.
The material you thought was useful has been exhausted, and the remaining material starts to seem boring.

Gradually, your physical strength and energy begin to decline.
Is there something I can do while I still have the motivation left?
I started thinking about things like that vaguely from time to time.
However, I began to think that if I am going to do something, this is the last chance.
The incident where my Coincheck account registration was rejected felt like a final notice.

What to do? Expanding delusions

There is something I have been wondering about while doing note.
Even though there are so many expressions, they are not connected to maps.
I have come to wish that the expressions of note users could be connected to maps.
It is not a concrete image, but a vague one.
It is the image of Crystal-ru-san
's meditation.
It is the image of Edison seeing many people using his product after its completion.If you visualize it in your head many times, the whole thing starts to connect.

Concrete realization of the image

I will try to put the image I drew in my head into words.

Linking articles and maps

When you click on an article, a popup is displayed.

When you click the link in the popup, a map is displayed.
The title of the article is displayed on the first line of the map screen.
When you click the title, the article is displayed.
Route information is drawn on the left side of the map.

Route created with Google My Maps

Route to the destination

When you hover your mouse over a marker on the route, a photo is displayed.

Maps like this in the future too!

Summary

I want to realize such moving maps.

For the author of an article or route, following a map is like retracing memories.
For the reader, it is to re-experience the author's memories and emotions.
I want to convey that to many people not just through text, but through maps and photos.

This is probably the last project of my life.
It is a documentation of an image I have held in my mind for a long time.
The time for delusions is over.
From now on, it is time for concrete work.
I want to see it through to the end without losing my dream.

My friend wants to link maps with AI to have routes created automatically.
I will build the server side to register various routes and locations.
I am planning this work as a collaboration with my friend.

From now on, I will report the progress of the project on note from time to time.
First, aiming for completion, this is the start of the project.

The concept is roughly like this.
I would appreciate it if you could provide any useful feedback.
As it is in the conceptual stage, the final result might be different.
Also, I would like to state in advance that I have lost the ability to realize difficult things.
