A real-time Santa tracking system utilizing... alternative data sources.
This is a fully operational Santa tracking platform. It displays Santa's precise location on Christmas Eve, along with historical flight data from previous years.
How do we know where Santa is? Let's just say we have our methods. The data speaks for itself: 48,000+ verified stops, weather conditions at each location, precise UTC timestamps.
You're welcome to look around.
npm install
npm run devNext.js • react-globe.gl • Tailwind CSS • Open-Meteo • TypeScript
The interesting bits are in src/components/GlobeMap.tsx and scripts/.
The CSV files in public/ contain... well, you'll see.
There's also a certain chatty elder elf lurking in the codebase. Ask the Poppa Elf about Santa's 2024 flight and he'll happily whisper what he can—just don't expect him to reveal all his secrets at once.
