The original post says:

Today is the 20th anniversary of the launch of TravellerMap.

Since I'm lazy, go read the 10th anniversary post for some history.

EDIT: And if you haven't heard about TravellerMap, you're in for a treat: http://travellermap.com/

I've taken the creator of TravellerMap.com out to lunch several times when at TravellerCon.

Due to the conditions of his job, he can't accept any monetary donations or payment for his work on TravellerMap.com.

I saw this post and went browsing through the android app on my phone. Learned about some minor sophont races and some wild cultures. Such a monumental amount of information.

It looks amazing and very well made, but what's the traveler universe and how would I use this interactive map?

Traveller is one of the oldest RPGs out there. And here’s just the video that explains how to use it:

Holy shit! How have I never knew about this game?? I have weekend plans now

And thus... the existance of this community is now officially worthwhile. ;)

BTW, There's also a Traveller-specific community: (!Traveller@ttrpg.network)

Heck yeah! Joined! Thank you!

From the little bit I've been able to devote to learning about it so far, it seems like exactly the game I've been searching for, for years. I'm excited!

Same thing happened to me when I discovered it.

You probably figured it out already, but in case you didn't: the video I posted before is part of a playlist, and it's an excellent way to get acquainted with the game.

Traveller map is fantastic. It's fun to just scroll around and explore, even if you don't play Traveller.
