I wrote this after disappointing media coverage of the death of a cyclist in Sydney, in the area known as Tech Central - where Atlassian, Block and many other tech companies are located.
Meaning 's/the Media Report/the Australian Media Report/' ?
At least in my part of the USA, the local paper seems overjoyed to report on any sort of pedestrian / cyclist / motorist injury or death. That might be related to how cheap such coverage is on their end (minimal editing of police announcements), and how little staffing the paper still has after several waves of downsizing.

I don't think I was a particularly early user of Weathergraph - but when I finally had to retire my Pebble Time I only considered platforms that had your watchface.
I wrote this blog post up to detail secret design changes to a separated cycleway intersection in Sydney that have been in the works for at least 7 years.
It's a record of how hard it is to get safe cycling intersections built in Sydney, even when the improvements are required approval conditions of a $4.3 billion portion of a motorway project (yes – Sydney is still building urban motorways this century).
That a “major design feature” or “key consideration of the proposal” could be deleted in secret, 2 years after going through community consultation, 3 years after the Review of Environmental Factors, 7 years after the initial M8 (WestConnex) approval condition B51 concept design, and announced by omission floored everyone in the room.
Came here to say this - looks awfully like OSM data and no attribution.
I'm also not clear on whether Google likes displaying OSM data on their map; it's a strange combination. I can't ever remember seeing "Copyright Google, Copyright OpenStreetMap contributors" in the footer of a page.
Thanks! It does seem to have lots of cycleways but I think it's helped by it's low density and small area (with the airport).
> It could be beneficial to have the ability filter out rural councils, and focus on denser urban areas.
I agree - I think comparisons by area and by density would be really interesting.
> For more retail appeal, you could consider some quick headline numbers at the top as bullet points. For example, the most cycle-friendly council, the worst (excluding rural), the most improved.
I hadn't thought of that but I think that's a great idea, thanks!
Seconding this. I was able to just run it with docker compose on a cheap mini PC and it chugs away happily, interfacing with all manner of devices (Phillips/Lifx/IKEA/Airpurifier/Bunnings brands). Only gets tricky to set up devices when you're dealing with some hostile cloud based gadget that doesn't want to play nice.
Unbelievable it can all be controlled offline using Siri on an iPhone, or other voice assistants.
It can even display your electricity consumption by counting the LED pulses on your smart electricity meter that fires every 1000th of a kw/h, only takes a cheap ESP32 and a photodiode: https://github.com/klaasnicolaas/home-assistant-glow
> While the lower right corner is traditional, any corner of the map is acceptable. Alternatively, the attribution may be placed adjacent to the map or on a splash screen or pop-up shown when a user starts the app, device, website, etc.
Yep, thank you and habi for bringing this up. Now, after learning the Attribution Guidelines more thoroughly, I'm updating the app to show the attribution directly on a map and fading it as specified by the guidelines.
