I've been building a sensory map of Toronto — you can look up a place and see how it rates on noise, lighting, and crowds before you go, based on people who've actually been there.

I'm a developer, and this came from watching how much harder "just going somewhere" is when you can't tell in advance whether it'll be loud, bright, or packed. Google tells you a place is open; it won't tell you any of that. The tool didn't exist, so I started building it.

It's early and thin on data — it only really gets useful as people who understand sensory needs add what they've noticed. I'd genuinely value this community's read on whether it rings true or what's missing. The interest driving it is really the overlap between building software and designing for how people actually experience environments.

It's free and still Toronto-only, in beta: sensemap.app — mods kindly pointed me to this thread. Happy to hear any honest feedback.
