Zero dependencies

No WebGL, no D3, no tiles, no API keys. Country geometry ships inside the package.

Interaction

Drag with momentum, scroll to zoom, pinch, hover, click, and use keyboard controls.

Ten presets

Dot-matrix hologram, neon, blueprint HUD, printed atlas. Every piece composes.

Country canvas

Play an image, GIF or video inside a country's outline.

Knows the viewer

Places them from their time zone. No permission prompt, no network call.

One renderer, many stories

A globe that can match the product around it

Start with a ready-made look, then combine themes, routes, markers, charts, effects, flat-map projections, and export tools without replacing the renderer.
