Show HN: We built an open source app to visualize data from Serial Podcast
anylytics.ioIn case you haven't heard of Serial (http://serialpodcast.org), it is a podcast that dives deep into the minutiae of the fifteen year old homicide case. A case that resulted in the conviction of seventeen year old Adnan Syed, a Pakistani American living in Baltimore, MD, who maintains his innocence to this day.
This project can be found at https://github.com/Anylytics/serial-map, we'd love to hear your thoughts and suggestions!
Amazing series... Are we any closer to proof that he did or didn't do it - should never have been convicted based on the evidence provided by the state, but as with the author of the series, there are still lingering doubts.
I still do not understand why he wasn't asked more clearly about his relationship with Jay and why Jay wasn't really easy to discredit in court.
Sadly his attorney sounds very dislikeable in court and I think that's why the jury convicted Adnan.
His attorney has filed a new thing...

While this is a really well done project (I don't like the icons, though, they look so 2005) and while I love the Serial podcast too, If I was a friend or family of the victim(s) I'd be heart-broken to find how fast the story and the crime is becoming pop culture.
This is some pretty intense work, thanks! Wish they had thought about doing something like this themselves, would really help to have some supporting materials like this to go along with the audio.
