    It's really annoying that you can stop the globe from rotating. This also feels exactly like a Claude-built website, which is unsurprising.

      Looks like they just updated it. Check under the globe.

      use the pause button below it, zoom in/out, rotate too

    "36 cities so far. Every visit lights up your dot."

    You paid to patent this, whatever it is. How about more than two sentences to see what you're charging people for. I can't tell from the website's "About" page.

    Edit: Even the github link is a 404, I give up.

    WASM + Zig (even compiling C code) will make some really tiny WASM files with no dependencies. The problem is that you don't have a standard library, then your code gets really big as you add more of that in there.
    • wolfejam6 hours ago
      Exactly right. 2.7KB works because it's pure computation — slot counting, no allocator, no stdlib, no WASI. The moment you need I/O it balloons. This use case fits a glove

    Looking at the website of the organization [1] of the author, linked at the bottom of the submitted link, I get serious Time Cube [2] vibes.

    I'm both fascinated and worried about what the internet will look like in five years.

    What do you sell? Names? Names for what? Site is kinda laconic…

      MCPaaS serves persistent AI context via the Model Context Protocol. A namepoint (mcpaas.live/yourhandle) gives your AI instant project context — no re-explaining every session. Works with Claude, Gemini, Cursor, any MCP client.

      Claim yours, free or paid: https://mcpaas.live/claim

      The globe shows where the edge binary executes. More at https://mcpaas.live/about

    It there some law that mandates all 3D globe renderings auto rotate and omit any way to stop it?

        Thanks! I see that just got added.
  • wolfejam5 hours ago
    thanks for visiting — the globe just crossed 100 cities - Appreciate the feedback. Happy Sunday :)

    Plus a 1.8 MB Javascript file ;)

    ...that's too big for a JS shim to talk to browser APIs... it looks more like a complete 3D engine - e.g. three.js or similar?

    From that pov the 2.7 KB WASM is a bit misleading (or rather meaningless), it could be a single function call into that massive JS blob where all the work happens.

    • wolfejam6 hours ago
      Fair point — globe.gl (Three.js) handles the 3D rendering client-side.

      The 2.7KB WASM is the server-side scoring engine — Zig-compiled, runs on every request at the Cloudflare edge. The globe visualizes where those executions happen.

      Two separate layers: WASM at the edge, JS in the browser.

      • flohofwoe5 hours ago
        Ah ok, might have made more sense to link to the about page tbh, but that probably would have looked too obviously like an advertisement ;)
        • wolfejam5 hours ago
          just trying to show the zig-wasm binary and CF edge :)
    • eknkc6 hours ago
      This is a completely baffling website but as far as I can tell, the 2.7 WASM thing is the MCP runtime this is marketing? The globe thing is independent of that, just showing there the MCP calls are running.
      • wolfejam6 hours ago
        The 2.7KB Zig WASM binary is the scoring engine that runs on every request at Cloudflare's edge. The globe visualizes where those requests land. Two layers — compute at the edge, visualization in the browser.
    • ivanjermakov6 hours ago
      Three.js alone is ~400KB uncompressed.
      • wolfejam5 hours ago
        Yep — Three.js renders the globe client-side. The 2.7KB scores server-side at the edge. Separate concerns.

    What in the slop? I have rarely seen so much of it concentrated across just a few domains
