First major update after MVP launch

This update sharpens how the atlas reads at both world and local scale. It increases tile detail in areas that benefit from more fidelity, improves zoom behavior, adds important world cities as first-class map landmarks, and tightens the overall quality of the experience.

Included in this release
  • More tile detail: the atlas now uses a denser tile layout so crowded regions render with better local separation.
  • Improved zooming: moving between full-world and close-up inspection now feels smoother and easier to control.
  • Capital and major cities: important world cities now stand out more clearly as map landmarks.
  • Safer submissions: harmful entries are kept off the atlas more reliably.
  • Bug fixes and polish: claiming, search, and tile interactions have been tightened up for a more reliable experience.

Result: dense areas are easier to inspect, navigation feels steadier, important places are faster to recognize, and the overall atlas feels more reliable to use.
