Life Heatmap
A continuity seed worth preserving before a stronger future rewrite.
The point here is continuity: preserve the instinct, explain why it still matters, and leave room for a later stronger case study.

Life Heatmap
A legacy project seed carried over from the old site: still rough, but worth preserving as a future case study.
Continuity seed
Life Heatmap is being carried forward as a project seed rather than a fully launched case study. The point of importing it now is to preserve continuity from the old site and make room for a later, stronger project narrative.
Why this seed stays visible
The project still matters because it captures a durable instinct: taking fuzzy human signals and giving them a more legible structure.

Original instinct
The original intuition was to make personal and social signals less abstract by giving them a clearer visual structure.
What is still worth carrying
What remains valuable today is not a finished artifact but a durable pattern: translating ambiguous human signals into a more legible system.
Why it belongs on the hub
It belongs on wa.lter.it as continuity: not because it is the strongest current proof of work, but because it still explains a durable instinct in Walter's way of building.
Why it still matters
It shows a recurring pattern in Walter's work: turning ambiguous personal or social signals into clearer systems and interfaces.
How it could return
Rewrite it later as a stronger case study that explains the original problem, the product shape, and what still feels worth carrying forward.
If it becomes a fuller case
If it is rewritten later, it should become a light case study about pattern-finding, interface framing, and how early product instincts can stay useful even when the original artifact is dated.
This page exists to preserve a durable project instinct now, without pretending the case is already more complete than it really is.
