Open-source dotted maps and 3D globes for designers
A free, open-source studio for dotted maps and 3D globes. Pick the world or any country, choose one of 21 shader looks, tweak the dots, gradients and density, then export a PNG, SVG, WebM, MP4 or GIF, or embed it live. It's MIT licensed, with no account.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Alejandro, a product designer who codes.
Every time I needed a dotted world map or a spinning globe for a landing page or a deck, I ended up screenshotting someone else's site or fighting a map library built for GIS work. So I built the tool I wanted, with presets, sliders and real exports.
What it does today:
• 21 looks, from clean cartography to halftone, risograph, dither, CRT, aurora and contour lines
• The world, a continent, a country or a US state, with 12 dot shapes or your own SVG or PNG
• Gradients with per-stop opacity on dots, land and borders
• Your own data (lat,lng,value or country,value) plotted as markers, joined by arcs if you want
• Exports: PNG up to 4x, SVG, WebM, MP4, GIF or a JSON config
• An iframe or script tag embed, a React component, a web component, a Figma plugin and an MCP server
It runs in your browser, you don't need an account, and the code is MIT on GitHub.
Two limits worth knowing: SVG export gives you clean vector dots, but most shader looks only show up in PNG and video. And the five flat projections are for solid maps, while dotted maps use Mercator.
What would help me most:
• If it lags, a performance report with your browser, OS and GPU: https://github.com/alevizio/glob...
• If you make a look you love, send it with the preset template: https://github.com/alevizio/glob...
• And tell me what you'd make with it. I had hero sections, decks and launch teasers in mind.
