We've had a live sales map for every Black Friday over the last 10 years. Somewhat refined it every year with the web becoming better and better.

The first ones were a bunch of divs over a png of the world, then canvas with SVG arcs, now webgl. It's a ridiculously busy time at Shopify each year and an event we take very seriously to get right.

It's a tradition for me as well to stare at it and fiddle with it for a while. Coming from ecommerce, the scale staggers me! This and what Alibaba does on singles day. Kudos.
