I made a website for lonely people, and got >100 people to log their locations

It jumps to random places because a new person just logged their location! I wanted to make the whole experience dynamic and real. It worked well when there weren't so many people logging their location all at the same time haha

I will need to add features to: make toggle more user friendly; and have option to make the map jump around or not.

Thank you for feedback!

I suggest to disable the map jump by default or make that information very prominent in the map. This way it felt very broken and frustrating.

But a nice idea :)

I just turned off map-jumping for now. You should now have uninterrupted map-scrolling experience. Please refresh the page for the updated version. Sorry for the confusion :P

It's hella laggy, you have too many results in the page, a simple case of too many divs I think.

I think it was caused by too frequently updating map. If you get a chance to check it out again, let me know if the issue has been resolved :)
