Visualizing Network Traceroutes Including Submarine Cable Paths
A developer shares GeoTraceroute, a tool that visualizes traceroutes on a 3D globe with inferred submarine cable routing. The post is a product showcase; feedback notes rendering quality issues in the 3D view. Not a market gap post.

Similar Problems
surfaced semanticallyNo API or Standard Data Source for Underwater Visibility Exists
Scuba divers rely on water clarity (viz) as a critical factor for dive planning, but no API or reliable data source for it exists. A builder had to engineer a complex ensemble Kalman filter from noisy satellite data as a workaround, dealing with cloud interference and shallow-reef reflectance errors. The absence of a standardized viz data layer blocks any dive planning application from surfacing real conditions.
IP Lookup Sites Are Bloated and Bury Location Data Behind Ads and SEO Text
Developers and privacy-conscious users who need fast VPN verification cannot quickly confirm their apparent location due to bloated, ad-heavy IP lookup sites. Most search results require scrolling past walls of SEO content before showing the actual IP and location data. There is no fast, clean, terminal-friendly tool that surfaces IP geolocation and VPN detection immediately.
NASA Mission Trackers Lack Mobile-Friendly Real-Time Data
Publicly available trackers for NASA's Artemis missions (including NASA's own) lack mobile optimization and fail to surface live telemetry data in an accessible format. Casual space enthusiasts searching for real-time mission status encounter outdated news articles or underwhelming official tools. This is a niche consumer experience gap rather than a business-critical problem, with low commercial viability.
