A map of tweets / list of locations

[IgnatBeresnev]

Background

Some tweets contain location data, and it is known for sure that a number of tweets were made from Netherlands, Japan and some other countries.

Because there were so many tweets over so many years, it's difficult to find location-specific tweets - for example, to see what Byron was tweeting from Japan. Moreover, some tweets can be pin-pointed to specific places, because latitute and longitude are also present (not sure how accurate they are though):

"location": {
    "place": "Amsterdam, The Netherlands",
    "countryCode": "NL",
    "latitude": 52.35472775,
    "longitude": 4.90405355
},

Map proposal

It should be possible to render a zoomed-out map with pins that would represent tweets. Upon clicking on a pin, it would unfold the tweet.

This way, users will able to see the countries from which Byron tweeted, and would be able to read location-specific tweets as well.

Probably want to have an endpoint ready for this that I can call with a lat/long and get a tweet. Additionally you can also make this endpoint take a location string and/or a country string and return a list of tweets
