Honestly Mapbox worked really well here. After getting that working it was just a question of presenting data in a way that was easy to consume. Things like playing around with colors, and the playback speed for the timeline for example. A challenge I see going forward will be accurately representing ground control in the case of a ground invasion in the near future. I’ve been trying to get the Ukraine-Russia war on the project but the main issue so far has been two fold. One is getting accurate day by day ground control information and presenting it well as well as footage from years back with all the dead links out there. And of course the propaganda problem (distilling actual info from propaganda posts that have good combat info and footage) is actually even more difficult in that war.

Hi, I worked on the project with OP, would love to answer any questions or field any advice
Was a pleasure. I think that people would like to know how you made it smooth and interactive.
