A few thoughts -Did you have any trouble with the sockets library? -I saw you explicitly mentioned "plane_distance", so are you planning on adding Haversine distance or something else? -Maybe make the map take up the entire screen? Status and first few on the leaderboard could go in the ocean.

The socket library (Flask SocketIO) works great and has a good documentation.

I used plane distance because it's faster to compute and the accuracy is good enough for this use case.

Regarding the UX I think it's a good idea to make the map take the entire screen.

Thanks for the feedback
