Hello!

Welcome to Comic Frontier Interactive Map, which simply is an interactive map of Comic Frontier events in Indonesia. This project was started as a concept during CF16 times (May 2023) and have gone to several rewriting/reimplementation, like during CF17 (Decemeber 2023) and CF18 (May 2024), and the latter is the one you're seeing right now. Time has gone pretty long and I, as the main developer of CFIM, am glad that this project finally has come to fruition and usable.

And a disclaimer before we begin: Mobile support are going to be implemented later! sorry for the inconvenience!

Currently, the map has this functionality:

• Search functionality: Look for circle names, fandoms, or even the stands themselves using a text you input to the search bar.
• Draggable, zoomable, map that highlights what you searched: You can explore the map as a whole, look where are the stands you want to visit or to just take a look, observe the density of the selected fandom, or whatever you want to do with them visually.

This project started solo until sometime around CF18 where the the CF17 fandom data collection project member reached me out, a kind of exchange where they finally have a data visualization platform, and I finally have a very useful data for the map. Recently, we also got help from a part-time developer, a friend of mine I know, to develop the front-end design the very current page you see! More about people who have contributed to this project is detailed at acknowledgement page.

In the near future, we'll try to develop these features with mostly using your browser to store the data:

• Fandom/stand/circle details: A popup appears either on the highlighted stands or in a widget window of the map, containing informations related to what you are looking for. For example:
  • Clicking on a stand will show you what circles attending it on each day complete with the fandoms they sell (done!)
  • Searching for a fandom will tell you the statistics of how many and information of which stands and circle has them
  • Searching for a circle will also show you the circle cut images and other informations provided in the CF official catalog
• More map elements support: I aim that to also cover for food vendors, official CF booths, and stages to be part of the interactive map.
• Editor for developers: Usable map and/or data editor for devs, researcher,to fine tune whatever map or data we or you have.
• Map marking: Mark the stands you want to visit
• Route making: Creates route for the map you marked
• Screenshot functionality: Screenshot, either the only parts you care, the part of the maps where the exhibition happens, or literally the whole map complete with stages and toilets included. (done(?))

That said, this site is still undergoing development and in no way I'd say complete, so suggestions are wide open. I'll put a disclaimer first that I don't take unsolicited ideas on platforms other than I will provide. For now, you can just email me, I'll make a google forms later on. I accept in Indonesian language or English.

Also, we're still working on our privacy policy and terms of service (which are required when we later apply for Google APIs or other third party APIs that often requires this kafkaesque thing), for now here's what you need to know:

• The map is currently free to use
• We (as in the project itself) don't collect data from users directly, but our libraries we use to build this map may.
• The data we use to create maps are based on publicly published entries, mainly from official CF's posts and web. Alternatively, we may obtain data from our partners like fandom data from the CF Fandom Data Collection Team.
• In the future, we'll have some form of data we store on your devices, those are generated by you, and it's only you who can "see" it (our code ofc can read it but what stays on your device stays on your device). This will likely to be the data of the stands you marked when it's implemented.
