Tokyo Now: a pixel-art live map of Tokyo refreshed every 5 minutes by an AI model
jasonkneen · x · 2026-11-14
Netlify engineer Elad Rosenheim built Tokyo Now, a pixel-art map visualizing everything happening in Tokyo in real time. Every five minutes the server pulls listings, news, and social posts, runs them through an AI model, and open pages receive each change within seconds. The whole stack — serverless hosting, job queue, and database — runs on Netlify. A neat showcase of combining data ingestion, AI summarization, and realtime updates into a single visualization product.
