## What it is
A recreation of GitHub's homepage activity globe built with ThreeJS and three-globe, featuring custom ambient and directional lighting for a space-like look. It serves as a demo/clone project visualizing data points and arcs on an interactive 3D globe.

## Use cases
- add a spinning 3d globe to my website
- recreate the github homepage globe animation
- visualize flight paths as arcs on a globe
- learn threejs globe shading and lighting
- display points and arcs on an interactive 3d earth

## When to choose
- you want a visually polished GitHub-style globe clone with custom lighting
- you need a lightweight starting point for ThreeJS globe-based data visualization
- you want a working Webpack-bundled example of three-globe usage

## When to avoid
- you need a maintained, feature-rich globe library rather than a demo project
- you need real-time GitHub activity data rendering
- you need extensive documentation or plugin support

## Facets
- artifact type: application
- maturity: maintenance
- function: data-visualization, graphics, animation
- domain: data-visualization, web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: threejs, globe, 3d, webgl, three-globe, shading, web-server, javascript
