Rotation Map is a globe of today's music charts: 166 countries, 174 cities, ranked by how much of their chart the rest of the world isn't playing, with the receipts under every record. Press a place and it plays. Pick a record and the globe inverts to show everywhere it's charting. Flip the lens by source: Apple Music, Spotify, Shazam. Shuffle picks a record, then a place, and says why. A seatback strip reads back miles, local time, weather. Night side lit by NASA city lights.

Could you build this?
Partial Rendering a 3D globe in Three.js/WebGL is vibe-codeable, but reliably scraping, normalizing, and licensing daily music chart data across 166+ countries and cities is a major data ingestion challenge.
What it would actually take: The architecture requires daily automated data pipelines aggregating streaming rankings from Spotify, Apple Music, Shazam, and YouTube across hundreds of regional endpoints. It needs an audio playback licensing strategy or fallback playback integration (like Spotify SDK or YouTube iframe player) tied to unified song metadata across distinct international chart formats.
