This is a service I've built to provide equirectangular cloud maps of the whole Earth, updated every 3 hours, for free. It's based on infrared and visible light data from EUMETSAT, processed to enhance the clouds and try to reduce the impact of surface temperatures on the final image. I built it because it's surprisingly hard to find these kinds of images in a format that's useful to developers and hobbyists. I was building a 3D ISS tracker and wanted to include live clouds but couldn't find anything good, so I got sidetracked, and here we are.

We built Maptoolkit.org - a free, production-grade vector maps service built on OpenStreetMap and MapLibre. Map rendering and tile hosting have historically been either expensive (Google, Mapbox) or complex to maintain yourself. (Plus: Their maps are car-focused.) Our maps feature max data zoom 15, global hill-shading, 3D terrain, contour lines, water depths, and specialized styles (like Hiking, Cycling, Winter). No sign up or API keys required. You can use it like this: ``` const map = new maplibregl.Map({ container: 'map', style: 'https://styles.maptoolkit.org/summer.json',…

This is a small iOS app (iPad / iPhone) app I worked on that basically shows weather on a map (along with day/night info). Just something I made to quickly see what conditions are like all over the world. http://bit.ly/tUuEKB (app is free and ad-free, more just an experiment than anything else) Backend is in java (server) and perl (pulling data). More interesting than the app is perhaps the platform behind it. I hope to introduce other kinds of data to be seen on a map. Currently getting about 500-1000 downloads per day on iPad. Really just curious if people find anything unique or…
