The U.S. Power Grid

This is cute and interesting but I would really prefer, as maybe a general rule for vibecoded projects, that we try to not just place the thing you've built onto the internet, but also give us context for your context. This is what READMEs were for before we decided to turn those into a workspace for LLMs Like yes, I can infer a lot about what this is, what it's doing, etc. but its trivial to get claude et. al to make a one-time onboarding screen that actually gives me an idea about what this is supposed to be, how realistic it is, what the numbers mean, what the features are, etc. Edit: I say this in particular because I FIND THIS PROJECT INTERESTING! I WANNA KNOW WHAT IT DOES!!

What I thought this would be: https://app.electricitymaps.com/map/five_minutes (Not a comment on the quality of the submission - it's also fascinating).

Interesting. I vibe coded something similar in order to understand how a particular database works. It's like Claude contains all these ideas and we only have to mine them. https://adamsohn.com/sixty-hertz/

A cool site my former employer put together to help map out the US power grid (related to their command and control analytics platform for Smart energy devices). https://commongrid.info/explore

Watching the prices fluctuate here, it's very annoying that we don't have a way to buy power when it's cheap, store it, and sell it back when it's expensive, as consumers. The incentive to place storage into your house would be so much better if this were possible. It feels like people have been writing papers about this for years but no one has made it happen. I think people would be willing to self fund new meters themselves to participate.
