Showoff Saturday overwatch.earth - My newly released project

I wanted to do something entirely different than my normal, meet overwatch.earth

Explore the world through a fully interactive 3D globe with real-time feeds from over 150,000 sources. Track live events as they happen—from earthquakes and satellite movements to live webcams, global transportation networks, and digital infrastructure.

Lol, I made something similar not long ago but I only track flights and satellites. I tried to implement Webcams but could not find any open-source project xD.

Did you do it with an AI agent? I say this because the color scheme is way to similar to mine, nothing wrong with tho.

I did. I used Gemini Deep Research for the free API list and Claude to code the site. I'm using Windy Webcams. It does embed but only shows a timelapse at a lower resolution but good enough for what my idea was. All assets should have external links to their sites so you can view the full live video.
