Can you think of a way to use your live cloud data as the background shader for https://github.com/sebosp/chartacritty ? I was also hoping to draw the iss progression through the earth, but sometimes people use terminals to actually read and may become confusing... For the rewind functionality you could look into rerun.io, not sure it's compatible with your current libraries but may be fun

There's a composite image with the clouds and earth at https://clouds.matteason.co.uk/images/8192x4096/earth.jpg that you might be able to use?
Awesome, maybe some negative effect over it, how often does it refresh?
The source data it uses refreshes every 3 hours but it runs more frequently because the timing of the refresh isn't guaranteed. If you configure your app to refresh every 30 minutes - 1 hour that's probably good enough.
