The globe has been rebuilt around an always-on constellation: every deployment appears as an industry-coloured dot at its real location, with hover details and a click that opens the project in place — co-located projects offer a pick list
Countries are now a browse surface in their own right — hovering shows how many projects live there, clicking lists them, and featured stories fly the camera to frame each country beside its card
A featured project now leads the home page, followed by a shelf of the latest deployments to browse
Projects without photography now get generated hero art — a stylised map of their location — instead of an empty frame
Improvements
Behind-the-scenes improvements to the assisted submission channel for AI helpers — clearer guidance and stricter checks, so drafts arrive cleaner for review
Fixes
Five cities that previously failed to place on the globe now sit where they belong
A background data failure can no longer blank whole pages — affected sections now degrade gracefully instead
