Notifications fire while this page is open in a tab. A real daily push needs the app installed or a small server — next step.
Charities are picked at random from vetted local organisations in the city you're looking at.
A working prototype. In any city it shows only the top spots: the places most active right now, picked from live data on what is open at this local hour, the weather, and what locals and open travel guides recommend. Search any town and it builds that picture live.
Zoomed into a city, the trails between places show the evening moving: cyan for people walking, pink for car traffic. They are estimated from the hour and how much is open, not measured.
Places marked Featured show how a partner listing would look. In this prototype they are examples, not paid placements.
How to read the numbers. Hover a place in a city to see the city's population and about how many people are at its top spots right now. The bars in the Right now list and the Busy chart on each place use the same estimate: a typical crowd for that kind of place, at this local hour, when it is open. Population comes from Wikidata with its year. Every estimate says so where it appears.
Orbit with your mouse or finger. Click a card and the globe zooms into its city.
What you're seeing. Cyan on the globe is where it's daylight right now; pink is night. The glow on the edge sits where the sun is. The scene is teal by day, violet at dusk, magenta at night — for the city you're looking at. Stars sharpen when that city has a clear sky and dim under cloud. The dust drifts with its wind. The atmosphere warms from cyan to magenta with its temperature; rain falls when it's raining. The aurora brightens with the real planetary K-index. Dust density is the share of places open this minute. The wide arcs are the stops in your plan; the shell is how much is open tonight; the comets are guides who published today. The white point is the International Space Station, live. Countries pulse where it's evening and people are heading out. Zoomed into a city, the cyan trails are people walking between places and the pink trails are car traffic; both are estimated, not measured, and move faster when more is open and later in the evening.
