Nice! Love the split screen on the desktop/web interface. Just curious, what's the site built on?

@adamnreed thanks, it was really fun to build. It's a Universal (isomorphic) React app, with Redux for store/state management. The maps are built on Mapbox, which made it incredibly easy to build the flyover animations. Essentially as you scroll, the global application state updates and the Map updates itself accordingly.
The only hiccup was the combination of Mapbox GL (front-end javascript library) and Universal React. Any time you try running a 'browser only' library on the backend nodejs server, it complains about not having access to `window`. I'll be posting a blog post soon about it :)
