> The heatmap view was updated

i don’t think anyone has commented on the new heatmap since it was still in early development. so i’ll just chime in here and say that the new heatmap looks to me like a vast improvement on the old one. specifically, it looks consistently good/useful at different zoom levels. so i’m looking forward to seeing this go out to the masses.
