- In Plowing the Dark (2000), Richard Powers suggests that a globe-based visualization would give you a lot more if you could put your head inside it. Nice topological idea -- can I suggest you add it?by vessenes
- Not quite inside, but removing opaque layers, this is the Earth's today wind fields only.

On Mac touchpads, one finger dragging changes position, 2 finger (horizontal scrolling) time and vertical zooms.
by noiv - How much of the data is real time? And how do you interpose different timelines?by brownpoints
- Very nice...the maritime vessels view seems very sparsely populated...especially in the Strait of Hormuz.
- Satellite GIS for all vessels is pretty pricey. Waiting to see this project grow before investing in that realtime data. For now we have coastline GIS for vessels.by rakeda
- I really like this. Is this just pulling from free data sources? Wonder if you could also hook it up with a maps provider to show real terrainby robby1110
- Yup, if there is a bit more support ill begin to add in the mid-tier paid services, but I feel like its in a good spot for now. Working on terrain right now!by rakeda
- Very impressive! What's the stack used?
Also, is there a way to stop the 'Satellite Inspect' dialog from coming up when clicking around the globe? It obscures a bit of the map.
by daviding - On it right now, should see the change live in 10 minutes! Was supposed to only show when imagery was selected.by rakeda
- This is amazing. I have been exploring open public datasets for some GIS projects. How are you dealing with any rate limits for how much you can pull from these public servers?by dwa3592
- I'm routing and caching a majority of the data into my own database so that all usage and rates are through my service. There are some client based api calls that are made (mostly around existing enrichment) but 95% of traffic hits the db my workers populate.by rakeda
- I know it's "just" AI but one could think there is a forkable project out there. I have seen like tenths of projects like this. OPs explanation is different though. Usually the line is "inspired by movie".by noAnswer
- There might be, but that would be missing out on half of the fun. Plus the real development challenge wasn't the frontend, but the database strategy, caching strategy, and edge availability. As with all my projects they serve as a way for me to learn.by rakeda
- Crazy cool. The idea and approach is super cool, spent 20 odd mins looking through. A timelapse is one thing that excited me on top of this - you guys already have a window to change but a play from let's say last 5 year feels different - data might be an issue I understand. Inspired to build this for some of my data.by darth-pixit
- Cool, but the UI could use more vibing. Seems unusable on mobile because it's not responsive and the controls can't be hidden or collapsedby brailsafe
- Mobile has been a common complaint that I have received. Planning on conquering this soon! (90% of all initial traffic is mobile).by rakeda
- V2 rocket owned by Israel in Poland kinda surprised me. But I understand. I'm currently working on data heavy platform. The most menial task is to clear data to be usable. Keep up the good work!by hsuduebc2
- Feedback: when you select an object (e.g. a powerstation) the targeted/crosshairs sprite should not scale with the zoom (i.e. it should remain the same pixelcount). The problem is when zoomed way-out or way-in, you cannot see the crosshairs.
Why is the zoom-out so slow while the zoom-in so quick [scrollwheel]?
Missing many TVA generating facilities.
I like your simplified windmap more than Windy.com 's!

Sick hyperlinking: the feed to the livecam from the International Space Station !!! thanks !!!
- Very cool. The satellite views are awesome! I clicked around for 20 minutes and still felt like there was so much more to explore. Thoughts:

Unless there is a soviet military installation in Southend, Saskatchewan, something is seriously funky with the "military installation" layer.
It would be nice if clicking didn't lower the zoom level. It's fine to zoom in and center, but having it zoom me out every time I click something was annoying.
by jwardbond - Military installations currently need to be sanitized and cleaned out. Will be working on later today. The source is unreliable and much of the data can be stored internally instead of public dataset.by rakeda
