Curiosity Atlas
One fact a day. Follow it as far as you want. Watch your personal map of curiosity grow.
I have a notes app full of random facts I have collected over the years. Things I stumbled across and could not stop thinking about. I wanted somewhere to send one of those facts a day, with threads to pull on if you wanted to go deeper. Curiosity Atlas is that place. One fact, one rabbit hole, every day.
Otters have a pocket of loose skin where they keep their favourite rock, and some keep the same rock their entire lives.
One spark a day
The daily limit is intentional. Scarcity creates anticipation. You get one fact, follow it as far as you want, and come back tomorrow for the next one.
Follow the thread
Every fact generates three related threads from Claude. They come directly from what you just read, so every path feels coherent rather than random.
The atlas map
Every fact becomes a node. Every thread draws a new connection. Over time the map becomes a constellation unique to you.
Streak and badges
A growing visual map tied to your streak. The longer you show up, the more your constellation fills in. A better reason to return than a number alone.
Stack
Vanilla JS, HTML, CSS. Single file, no build step.
