what does "density weighted by population" mean?
    it is the density that the median person lives at, which is the density you should probably
    care about if you care about how people live and behave. people care about people. so should you.

why can't i use the map zoomed out on my phone?
    more zoomed out levels use a lot of memory. if you ask for the desktop site in your browser you'll
    be able to zoom out more but your phone will probably kill the page. especially on safari/ios.

what does "density weighted by populated land area" mean?
    it's more like the boring normal measure of density of population/land area. but it excludes
    totally unpopulated areas of land because it was like half a line of code less to do that
    and people don't live in the sea.

something is broken and i want to complain
    file an issue https://github.com/bovine3dom/population-around-a-tile

how does it work?
    nerd. code at https://github.com/bovine3dom/population-around-a-tile

        - kontur's ghsl h3 reprojection

        - split into a hive style directory structure so it can be streamed to
          the browser without needing anything more than a dumb web server

        - then deck.gl is used for visualisation with a maplibre map and a nice tileset from maptiler

        - arquero is used to calculate the statistics on the selected tiles

        - shoelace is used for the UI

why did you do this?
    1) i like hexagons
    2) i think people generally talk about population density in a pretty silly way
        (yes i am talking about the "the uk is full" people when we have pretty low population density)
    3) https://www.tomforth.co.uk/circlepopulations/ reminded me that toys are better than graphs for changing minds
