This was a project by @richardcahill and I for the International Space Apps Challenge in 2013. It visualises the location of the International Space Station on a three-dimensional globe in the web-browser. I've since started doing some upgrades.
I've added Bower for dependency management, frontend web dev has moved on in 2 years. I use vagrant to host it locally, rather than file:// or have an http server installed on my machine, I find that it's quicker than solving all of the cross-origin problems that come with the APIs I'm using. You can locate this in a local webserver documentroot if that's what you're into, but I've provided a vagrantfile that will set this up rather nicely.
To get set up, Install Vagrant, Node and npm. Those links explain it easily enough. You'll then want bower (npm install -g bower).
Now you should clone the master branch of this repository. To install the dependencies for stationspotter.com (they're not hosted in this git repository themselves), run bower install.
When you run vagrant up, it will provision a local vm and forward the port, once it's set up you can go to 127.0.0.1:4567 in your web browser to see the site. You can make changes to the files and they'll be updated straight away, you just need to refresh. You can of course run vagrant destroy to delete the VM once you're done.
