- tomburnell 4y agoThanks - i'll take a read.
- tpmx 4y agoAfter loading your site and I giving it my address it told me I should be able to see the ISS in a few minutes, with just 11% chance of cloud cover. I looked outside through a window.. and yeah, there it was! It moved across the sky exactly as promised. Last saw it a decade ago. The night-time tinting of the street view along with the rendering of the stars and the moving object is really nicely done. It made it so easy to visualize where to look.
- modeless 4y agoThanks! Glad it worked for you!
- sumanthvepa 4y agoI absolutely love this. Really cool. Would you have a write up somewhere on how you built the site?
- modeless 4y agoThanks! The write up is in the link. It's long, I know. Maybe I should move that part to the top. Feedback welcome :)
