Hi all,

I created "Borderline", a border drawing game a few weeks ago.

Since then, thousands of people have played it and I have accumulated over 37,000 drawings, which are now all stacked on a blank canvas.

This allows you to see the world as people remember it.

You can also check similar maps for the US, France, the UK, Germany, Australia, and Switzerland.

Alternatively, you can also draw a few borders yourself (free, no signin required)

That was quite fun, and I enjoyed the data mining aspect of it. Quite edifying, thanks!

Thanks for your kind words. I love how the sum of all the errors still makes something that is correct :)

yes! and there are things that are known and others that are fuzzy in the hive mind :-Do

so much fun, thanks a ton!

The game is really cool, but it allowed me to cheat on mobile when asked for coastal lines: it shows the actual coastal line for a second, then draws the rest of the map over. Also, it said Belgium is landlocked.

Thanks for the bug report I will fix these asap!
