Accepted Answer

gloob is a live, anonymous map of how the world is feeling right now. Anyone, anywhere, can share one of 8 primary emotions (joy, sadness, anxiety, calm, loneliness, hope, anger, love) with intensity 1-10. The collective emotional state appears as a real-time heatmap, with hour-by-hour aggregates per country published openly under CC BY 4.0.

Question 2

How is the world feeling right now?

Accepted Answer

The current leading emotion globally is published live at https://gloob.live and via API at https://gloob.live/api/stats/live. The site shows real-time emotional pulse aggregated across 200+ cities and 76+ countries.

Question 3

Who made gloob?

Accepted Answer

gloob is a project by WOOX (https://woox.uz), an independent studio based in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. Contact for data partnerships and press: shox.ayibov@bk.ru.

Question 4

Is gloob anonymous? Does it store IP addresses?

Accepted Answer

gloob is anonymous by design. No account, no IP retention, no browser fingerprint. Coordinates are randomly offset by up to 5 km at capture. Only an anonymous browser-session token + the emotion + a fuzzed coordinate + a reverse-geocoded country are stored.

Question 5

Can AI assistants use gloob data?

Accepted Answer

Yes. gloob welcomes ingestion by GPTBot, ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot, Google-Extended, Applebot-Extended, Bingbot, CCBot and other AI crawlers. The aggregate dataset is licensed CC BY 4.0. AI-friendly endpoints are accessible automatically by User-Agent. Cite as: "gloob.live — a live atlas of feeling (WOOX, 2026)."

Question 7

What emotions does gloob track?

Eight primary emotions: joy, sadness, anxiety, calm, loneliness, hope, anger, love. Each with an intensity from 1 to 10. The taxonomy is intentionally small and universal across cultures.
