    The relevant launch video trailer on your X page is really well produced. How did you go about constructing it?

    I don't say this lightly: This may be the best combination of style and substance I have ever seen.

    This is not only a very cool idea, but also fantastic execution! Great work and very neat!

    Super broken at the moment - or I'm impatient

    This is great for planning backpacking trips. I have been using Copernicus but you have a lot more and it's much easier to access. Very nice!

    Really cool, and beautiful UX.For data sources, it would be cool to add Sentinel-1 since SAR sees through clouds, plus the Umbra and Capella open data archives for some high-res passes.

    I have seen a lot of sites with satellites’ overviews… I work in geospatial.This site is really good one as you can see exact image taken by a satellite.Well done.

    This is very cool, and a bit creepy too, but mostly coolReally liked the UX, even on a small phone screen it was easy to use. I enjoyed the big typing cursor, it was a unique surprise (almost 100% of text form inputs have either a very small vertical line cursor, or nothing at all - the big cursor feels refreshing)

    Very cool. Was this inspired by the latest season of cyberpunk? In case you and Capri need to escape onto a satellite. XD

    oooh. so fun.I imagine, that there is someone with access to this sort of thing, with live imagery from any satellite they click on, in 8k.

    Can you get high res images, or are they typically not made public?Very cool tool

    That looks really nice. I especially like the view showing the satellite flying overhead and the line marking the scanned area.

    Great user interface - animations are such a nice touch.
  • Zeetah
    Love the fly overs, and the interface. Just beautiful.

    Um, wow. Amazing UI.This photo of the SF Bay this morning is a great representation of the fog that settles in over the area:https://www.watched.earth/s/3zg2u78u
