At least one of the built in uBlock lists (I have almost all enabled, probably one of the anti social media ones) blocks js files with the name "tweets.js".
Interesting how 'night' seems to start well after sunset, at least right now in the Northern Hemisphere. 'Morning', however, seems to be happening more at sunrise.
That’s awesome. I’m on mobile and can’t tell what tech you’re using but I bet you can just calculate day night geometries and draw them onto a Leaflet or OpenLayers map.
I can’t commit atm but I might poke at this and I’ll flag you if I come up with something or find an existing solution. A leaflet plug-in for this sounds like a fun little project.
I think this is an interesting example of how what you post publicly can indirectly give away information, but then again, I suspect people wouldn't be tweeting such things if they wanted their (even approximate) locations to remain private.
This actually reminds me of the early days of twitter, when people would do this more often in my feed. Don't really see it anymore, but I guess it still happens in more niche circles!
Glitch is an amazing tool. Before the recent changes they made in terms of projects sleeping, I have run a collection of telegram bots [1] servicing a few thousand telegram groups / millions of users on there for free, with minimal downtime over a 2 year period. I've had to switch to the paid plan now, but the ease in getting a project live on the internet with glitch is second to none.
Some kind of local time zone vertical line overlay option might be a nice addition.
Why I thought about this:
I'm using a ~12 year old monitor that occasionally has a broken column of pixels about 2/3 of the whole monitor width away from the left edge and thought it was trying to align with the ever-moving map on the site. It confused me why the actual location wasn't lining up until I realized it was my monitor's fault.

[ 3.1 ms ] story [ 83.3 ms ] threadI think a 2D map would be more effective.
I just wanted to be able to see the day/night part (which now that I think about you can do with Cesium).

FYI all you gotta do to switch to 2D in this viewer is type this in the console:
``` viewer.scene.morphTo2D() ```
It might be fun to regenerate this timelapse I did with the 2D view since you can see the whole world at once: https://twitter.com/Omar4ur/status/1315325135990202369

In app.js you just need to change the following to the terms you would like:
You will need to have your own twitter access keys though, which you add to the env file.Dobranoc
Realy cool though!
