@bthalpin oh, neat! that's another project that i think has a lot of potential - the idea was to do geospatial vis stuff from a dumb http server. i got fed up with finding articles that had dead links to arcgis hosted stuff that had been turned off after funding ran out
you might find https://data.humdata.org/m/dataset/kontur-population-dataset useful if you need a global dataset
it's the same base data that Tom Forth uses but reprojected to a more useful spatial index

@bthalpin i think i got nerd-sniped. you can shift click to compare places now (with the caveat that if you're not at the same zoom level you'll get nonsense) https://population-around-a-tile.pages.dev/#x=-38.84197601306403&y=39.360484918401454&z=2.6195005665004656 a fair bit to clean up before i can replace the original url...
