Do you:<p><pre><code> • Have websites or apps that get a lot of traffic? • Have a huge TV in your office or living room? • Use Google Analytics? With multiple accounts&#x2F;properties? </code></pre> Watch the location of your users in real-time and impress your friends, colleagues and investors as your traffic swells across the region or perhaps the globe!<p>Let me know what you think!

As already mentioned, the Github link is broken.<p>Additionally, there are 3 CTAs on the featured page, all of which go to <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.heatmap.tv&#x2F;ga.html" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.heatmap.tv&#x2F;ga.html</a> which prompts users to login to Google Analytics.<p>The FAQ assures visitors who ask &quot;Is my data safe?&quot;<p><pre><code> &gt; Your data is only accessed by the browser, not by the &gt; Heatmap.TV server. If you are concerned about the security &gt; of the browser, I suggest making adding a new user to Google &gt; Analytics with read-only permission to just the properties &gt; that should be displayed. </code></pre> but since the Github repo link doesn&#x27;t work, visitors cannot know which properties should be read-only.<p>Finally, there is a Google ad featured on the FAQ for<p><pre><code> &gt; World Class Math Education - K-12, Here In Fremont &gt; Award-winning after school math program offers strong &gt; math curriculum. landing.russianschool.com&#x2F;Mission-Viejo </code></pre> which doesn&#x27;t necessarily inspire confidence.<p>EDIT: Remove rhetorical request.

I couldn&#x27;t understand what it does. Also, Github link is broken. <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fileformat&#x2F;heatmaptv" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;fileformat&#x2F;heatmaptv</a>

Doesn&#x27;t seem to work for me. Asks me to log in to Google, I choose my account then it goes back and shows an empty list of sites. Never got a prompt to approve any permissions.

I didn&#x27;t find a description of what it does. Does it show on a map where visitors are coming from? Maybe it would be worth adding a fourth bullet point on the homepage.

Very neat! Nice work and it was really quick to check out.<p>This looks especially cool in OpsBrowser 3D (disclosure - my companies product) which provides a 3D &quot;big screen&quot; experience for any set of web URLs: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.landriannetworks.com&#x2F;OpsBrowser3D&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.landriannetworks.com&#x2F;OpsBrowser3D&#x2F;</a><p>With OpsBrowser 3D I can have up to 9 instances of HeatMap.TV on the screen in the lobby revolving around and animated in 3D!
