Have you ever wondered where most of the Kickstarter projects are based? Now you can get your geography nerd fix with ThingsWeStart, a handy interactive website map that lets you filter all of them to your liking.
The site launched on Monday, but it’s still in beta. ThingsWeStart has already got some great stuff up on day one for the team, and we can expect even more cool tricks and tools from them.
Dive right in to the map yourself and see what you can come up with. You can search by city, state, or zip, and filter based on project categories. The site also supports email notifications for specific map settings, which should be handy for anyone looking to keep an eye on projects in their area. Projects within a map can be sorted depending on how much money they have raised, how new they are and how close they are to being funded.
If you’d rather have someone else come up with the conclusions, head over to the team’s blog to see the kind of numbers they found using the service. Or, if you’re the opposite and want to get your hands on the raw data, ThingsWeStart even offers a full spreadsheet with the data it’s using.
Kickstarter itself lets you search for different cities and categories on the Discover section of its website, but it’s not nearly as intuitive, fun or robust.
