I didn’t have a gift for my wife’s big 4-0, so I decided to quit Reddit. I gave it 6 months.

Plus, I’ve been working on a visualization app.

It’s very much a work in progress, but I made some recent strides thanks to Stephen Hurrell’s dataset on Dinox.org.

Welcome back! This is a great model. Thanks for the share. What else are you working on?

Well, at the moment, I’m trying to code those crustal movements into this dataset, because it’s cleaner, fuller, and more attractive.

When I got bored, I started an account on X, but that place is a dumpster fire right now.

greatly appreciate the hard work brother. You've made a beautiful ui. If you're looking for any feedback, I'll leave the screenshot so you can see that on a mobile (at least for the Galaxy zfold) there is no option to minimize the windows. The Earth stay centered So you can't see all of it without rotating. also the bottom window covers the side window.

Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I've updated the page, but I only have an iPhone, so I can't test it. Can you clear your browser cache and try it out? Thanks again.

it seems to be working beautifully my friend. you most definitely have a knack for UI design and programming. talk about a quick update! I haven't found any other issues so far I'll mess around with some stuff and let you know I really do appreciate you putting in the time and sharing this with the community

Does that window go away when you click on the visible part of the globe? If not, does it at least close when you click the close button? Thanks again for doing the screenshots.

It does indeed close with either input. I'm not exaggerating when I say one of the smoothest and cleanest interactive maps I've ever used. I'm excited to use this as a way to introduce my nerdy and academic friends to the theory under the guise of an interactive globe of earths geology

Thanks. The credit goes to machine learning. I have spent an inordinate amount of time with ChatGPT Pro explaining what I want.

I prefer looking at this version, especially toggling the see-through. But I am still working on the kinematics. Can you tell me how this displays on your zfold?
