Could you build this?
Partial The dashboard and map visualizations are straightforward to vibe-code, but ingesting and normalizing diverse real-time geospatial/telemetry feeds (IODA, NASA FIRMS, USGS, Open-Meteo) alongside anomaly detection algorithms against historical baselines requires non-trivial data engineering.
What it would actually take: A production version requires scheduled data ingestion pipelines (e.g., using Python/Prefect or Apache Airflow) pulling from external APIs (USGS, NASA FIRMS, IODA internet telemetry). The hard part is time-series and geospatial anomaly detection against historical baselines, handling varying cadences, false positives, and spatial clustering (PostGIS / DuckDB). The frontend can be built with Next.js, Mapbox/Deck.gl, and Tailwind.
