I really want a news application that is rendered visually as the Globe. Then a user can drag, zoom, and pan around the world, similar to Google Earth.
The difference being, this news app overlays current trending news stories on the physical location of where it is happening in the world.
Maybe I can manage this idea with this underneath?

It was amazing. Unfortunately there were crimes committed on stream, notably a mass shooting in New Zealand. They shut down the map view soon after that.
A news broadcast would be feasible, because presumably the streamers would be verified reporters.
Really cool idea. I love it.
Could also have a global weather data layer/view, since that'll be relevant for extreme weather events.
It does remind me a bit of Snapchat's location stories on the map / I think other social media platforms have similar previously.
It took me some time to realize that you have to scroll to see the icons on the map. Maybe you can run the function you run on scroll also on load.
I see that you posted a Show HN 2 years ago, maybe you can post another one.
