This is very cool, and a bit creepy too, but mostly cool
Really 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)
I think this is a great counterexample to AI sites that suck. It's not the Claudisms and the borders-and-pills that make them suck, because this has all that but is fantastic.
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.
People who prompt an LLM to generate without proper capitalization in order to deceive more people into thinking the text is genuine deserve a special place in hell. Always with the inauthentic feedback CTA, too. This should be killed off HN for flagrantly violating the rules against LLM-generated text, and yet everyone upvotes it.
The nonsensical "I brute force checked it" paragraph is 100% Claude. Nobody writes like that, and no human ever includes this level of irrelevant reassuring detail.
I remember my father helping out with translations for schoolwork (in middle school, he'd only help after I had put in reasonable effort). I'd always get frustrated when he'd go too far, actually trying to rewrite portions too correctly. I was sure the teacher would figure out something was up so I'd always add some mistakes. Reminds me of it when people worsen their LLM output on purpose.
To "deceive more people"? Take off the rage goggles and consider other alternatives like "they normally type like this. so when they had the LLM edit it" or "because they normally type like this, its in the memory that's how their text should be generated" before accusing blatant deception that only goes 1 mm deep anyways.
But yes, the rule about LLM generated text should at least be abided by and preferably enforced regardless if the intent was malicious.
Please delete my account. I want no association with this site if you're choosing to ignore your own rules to actively promote bot-generated spam over human content.
Trying to type in the location field is almost impossible. There is something way off in the way the block cursor reacts to character spacing compared to the text in that field.
Beautifully done, at so many levels: the pincushion view of just how much stuff is up there; the rendering of the orbit of each satellite; the ground track of its aperture; the time series of its passes. So many data sources seamlessly integrated. Even if Claude wrote every line of code, knowing what to ask for is quite a feat.

Well done.

Very cool tool
If someone puts a second-take, or a twentieth, it doesn’t matter what tools are used…
Human verification of human resonance.
That’s always the defining feature.
This photo of the SF Bay this morning is a great representation of the fog that settles in over the area:

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

_Most_ satellites. However, nothing associated with the NRO is in the public TLE catalog.
Amazing.
