Finally ended up properly deploying it with more features. I believe that an image might speak more than words so I will try to share the image.
https://yabs.buyvds.net : yabs visualization (I can share three images here as there are three tabs of information)
(Pinging some friends who I know might be interested: thanks to @nghialele for giving me the domain in the first place on my birthday which gave me idea and @forest @rpqu @JohnFilch123 @AlteredParadox @stable_genius @forest @Saragoldfarb I think have either helped me throughout the thing or would be interested in seeing this project that I know of)
I wish to add more server providers and locations in the future too and I hope that it could be a community project, if someone is interested in adding more providers and locations, then let me know. I think that its a fun project and I am interested for feedback and just talking about it :-D
For more details on the things of how I ended up making it, I recommend taking a look at my birthday thread: https://lowendtalk.com/discussion/218761/its-my-birthday-lets-make-a-july-the-2nd-thread#latest

Nice one! If you can make sure to add a way to stop the glob spinning, so that a user can check the providers in certain area, this would be good.
Another suggestion is for the area where there are a lot of providers. Once one to list all of them will be to use a list like I did here:
Otherwise it looks pretty congested and difficult to browse. But pretty cool project, keep improving.
Thanks. I had noticed the issue of the globe not spinning when pressing the buttons, on previous versions there was a way to rotate-lock the globe so I am gonna do that.
I am not sure about the other suggestion as it might be a bit harder to implement and I am a bit unsure about it, If I am going to add this feature I wish to hopefully do it right and overall though, its an honest solid suggestion/feedback :-D
I will try to hopefully do something about that too, thanks!
Sure sure, as I have previously said, this is your project, so you have the ultimate decision what to implement and how. I love maps, so have got 4 similar projects.
😍🧡
I seems that there's not yet enough focus on identifying the providers individually.
I should be able to select a service provider and be able to hilite only the locations served by that provider. I supposed that's what you plan to do next.
By the way, that page is pretty heavy, by default I keep my connection very slow to keep protected from spying and nasty stuff, I was forced to increase the speed a lot to be able to load the page.
You can although you just have to search/select it under the provider list with their LET username
So for racknerd, its dustinc which you can see being highlighted under service provider.
but basically you can select any provider under the provider list and it would filter it but I understand what you are saying and I would try to fix that hopefully so thank you!
I think it might be because its loading up the whole duckdb package, the json file and the assets for the globe map and some other things in general all within a static page which might cause the page to be considered perhaps a bit heavy but I will still try to hopefully see what I can do about it :-D
Very nice! Thanks for the share. Following!
Thanks Sarah for the kind words! :-D You have given me the idea that I can have a /reviews section where I will try to have testimonies of what you guys think of the project too haha :-D
Here selecting by provider individually works when using the top box on the left but not when using the box below (the one with the long list) which shows "Providers 249" as its header.
So it already focuses on providers individually but some parts are not already in full working order, which is normal at this stage,
Did AI tell you that Canada was part of the United Kingdom?
Oof saw the bug, to be fair yeah AI did tell me Canada is part of United Kingdom, AI are sometimes a bit of hallucination boxes and still pretty unreliable on occasions lmao. Gonna fix this.
I have a hunch of how this might have happened though I am not sure but the scripts that I used to get the looking glass and places which I then place inside AI because every provider has a different way of saying the same location, some shorten it & some don't, so I used AI to standardize it across the things (read more through my birthday thread if you are interested for more details on data curation)
so it might be getting confused between CA because it can be both california and canada at the same time. I will try to see what I can do about it :-D
If Canada Act 1982 will be repealed...
Thanks for gifting me the domain, glad you liked it :-D
Update: @JohnFilch123 I have added john mode in my website in honor of you and your suggestion and I have also fixed the globe spinning so that you can hold it now.
I have also added what @stable_genius has said and I have made it so that clicking on the provider list highlights the server locations of that provider which you have selected.
I have also hopefully fixed the bug about Canada/United Kingdom that @JoeMerit shared.
The updates are live on the website. Here is a screenshot sharing some of the new features.
So what do y'all think about it? Let me know if someone has any good feedback and I will try to hopefully implement it :-D
