01  Traction

No ad spend. The internet found it.

A weekend project went to #1 on GitHub, then kept climbing. Every number here links to where it happened.

02  What it does

Every public signal. One globe.

Flight transponders, ship beacons, orbital elements, seismographs and public cameras already describe the planet. God's Eye View fuses them into one place you can explore, from the whole Earth down to a single aircraft or street.

Live

Aircraft, ships and satellites

From public ADS-B, AIS and orbital data, plus earthquakes, fires, weather and launches.

Track

Click to track anything

The camera locks on, draws a trail and hands you off to the nearest public camera.

Voice

Talk to the globe

A realtime AI agent flies the camera, counts and ranks what's in view, and draws on the map.

Cockpit

Ride inside a tracked flight

Real per-class 3D aircraft models, with terrain and the city under you.

Looks

Reskin reality

Sensor looks over the globe: CRT, night vision, FLIR thermal and noir.

Replay

Replay a launch

Ride a recent launch from T-minus to orbit, scrubbable from 0.25× to 4×, labeled as a reconstructed estimate.
