Spin a free 3D globe, play a country’s live radio, or dig to the other side of Earth. Leave a light for a friend, family member, pet or idol you’ve lost. Exploring is free and needs no account.
Hi Product Hunt! I’m Ashwin, a solo maker in India, and this is Planet-X: a free, living 3D planet that runs in your browser. Nothing to install, no account needed to explore.
I built it because every map app treats Earth as a flat surface for directions. I wanted the opposite: a planet you can hold, spin and poke at, where every country has something live going on right now.
Things to try, each one tap away:
• Dig straight down from where you stand and see where you come out on the other side of the Earth.
• Guess where — listen to a mystery radio station and drop a pin where you think it’s playing.
Honest first-minute feedback from Japan: English isn't my first language, so that's part of it, but I couldn't tell what I was supposed to do first. I saw a link that said "here," tapped it, and got a login screen, which surprised me since your post says no account is needed to explore. What is that "here" link meant to do?
The dig through the planet and the lights for people you miss are an odd, lovely pair, Ashwin. Congrats on shipping it. When I leave a light for my grandfather, does it show up on everyone else's globe too?
It took me a moment to grasp the idea of "digging to the other side of the Earth" I hadn't realized it was so interesting)
Does it have Greek radio stations? And who picks which stations show up for each country?

Who hunted Planet-X?
Planet-X was hunted by Ashwin C. A “hunter” on Product Hunt is the community member who submits a product to the platform — uploading the images, the link, and tagging the makers behind it. Hunters typically write the first comment explaining why a product is worth attention, and their followers are notified the moment they post. Around 79% of featured launches on Product Hunt are self-hunted by their makers, but a well-known hunter still acts as a signal of quality to the rest of the community.

Things to try, each one tap away:
• Dig straight down from where you stand and see where you come out on the other side of the Earth.
• Guess where — listen to a mystery radio station and drop a pin where you think it’s playing.
• Answer today’s World Question, then see how every country answered.
• Listen to live radio from any country.
• Watch live TV from any country.
• Look outside through live webcams around the planet.
• Read today’s news, country by country.
• Draw a quote of the day from somewhere on Earth, and collect a passport stamp for every new country.
• Bury a secret in a country of your choice. Nobody sees who wrote it, and it is found only by digging.
• Start a squad — a small world within the world for your people.
• Remember someone — explore the lights people have left across the planet in memory of someone special.
• Click a little plane towing a banner across the planet, or read the true stories people have left in places.
You can also explore any country directly, like Japan, and share the exact view you’re looking at with a friend.
I’d love honest feedback, especially the unflattering kind.
