4. If you add or change a data source, update [DATA_SOURCES.md](DATA_SOURCES.md) with its license and attribution. **Don't add data you don't have the right to redistribute** — fetch it at runtime instead.
5. Describe what you changed and how you verified it (screenshots welcome for anything visual).
## Maintainers
God's Eye View is maintained by [Bilawal Sidhu](https://github.com/bilawalsidhu)
and [Sameh Khamis](https://github.com/samehkhamis) at
[Halfpixel](https://halfpixel.ai). Either maintainer can review and merge
contributions.
## Ground rules
- This is a tool for **public** data. Don't add scraping of sources whose terms forbid it, private/paywalled datasets, or anything that misrepresents public-data inference as authoritative intelligence.

So here it is. Step inside the spy-thriller cockpit — except the data is real — and let's turn this into our shared sandbox for making sense of the world, and have fun doing it. This repo is the baseline, it stays open, and the whole point is for you to break things and bolt on layers we haven't thought of yet.
One heads-up from the inside: build in this space for a week and you learn that **the present is the cheap part**. The moment you try to go back in time — tiling, serving, and scrubbing *what happened* and *what changed* at any real resolution — the data gets expensive and the compute gets brutal. For that, we're building something cool. More in the future — [halfpixel.ai](https://halfpixel.ai).

The moment you try to go back in time — tiling, serving, and scrubbing *what happened* and *what changed* at any real resolution — the data gets expensive and the compute gets brutal. That's the long game.
**Update — a hosted version is coming.** We originally planned to keep this repository as the open-source client and build a separate professional product. Then the launch happened, and the loudest request wasn't another feature — it was *"just give me a link."* So we're building an official hosted God's Eye View at [Halfpixel](https://halfpixel.ai): no installation, just open it in your browser. The hosted version is the easiest way into this open-source project. More soon.
