I'm happy to help out with something like that based on Mapbox GL JS
(here's a good demo of it
https://www.mapbox.com/labs/wirrida/index.html), but it's maybe a 30min
workshop with geojson.io to create the data, then code up the map.
Should we submit it anyway or try to fit it into an existing workshop?
