Wouldn't it be nice to visualize and explore S2 cell hierarchies for a given point on an interactive globe, I thought...

Here's using #Deck.gl's S2Layer on a @maplibre map.
Turns out quite useful I think, but there's still some work to be done to fully support globe views in Deck.gl (https://github.com/visgl/deck.gl/issues/9199).

Code for this:
