  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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".

  • 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.

  • 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 collapsed

  • 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!

  • 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!

  • 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.
