It’s all opinions but good feedback. The cursor was a design choice. We may go back

Firefox 109.0 on Windows 10 shows no cursor at all. It is not possible to use the site.

Be aware that MacOS/Safari still has occasional bugs where the cursor shape gets stuck on whatever the web page switched it to. I know how to deal with that, but it's an annoyance when it happens.

I like it FWIW :) maybe removing it on information pages like for pricing and keeping it on the landing page with the interactive glove is a good compromise

Luke, any chance you could resell Maxar 15cm imagery? (Or if something is better, that) Dealing with their sales process is horrible. I’d love to buy it from you given how easy you make it. https://blog.maxar.com/earth-intelligence/2020/introducing-15-cm-hd-the-highest-clarity-from-commercial-satellite-imagery https://blog.maxar.com/earth-intelligence/2020/introducing-1...

  That's the goal...we have some interesting partnerships and a partner of ours is Albedo- 10cm resolution. A lot of our work deals with negotations to get them to believe the mission. Most have incentive to keep selling to the Govt, which I totally understand.

    Two follow up questions. 1. Isn’t Albedo fake “10cm”. Meaning aren’t they using 50cm imagery and apply computations to it to “simulate” 10cm. The image on this blog post, when zoomed in is actually quite bad https://albedo.com/post/albedo-simulated-imagery https://albedo.com/post/albedo-simulated-imagery 2. Can you explain why you mean when you say “most have incentivizes to keep selling to govt”. Are you implying they can’t work with you?

      Hi, I will try to address these. 1 - Our partners (Albedo) will have 10 cm native as per their own site. 2 - The govt operates with large orders via face-to-face b2b sales channels. This is quite different than distributing to a large number of b2c (smaller) customers. Any commission based sales model targeting large customers will struggle with the second model.

        Re: #1, isn't that 10cm only for Panchromatic (grey-scale). For what people care about, Multispectral (color), it's 40cm - which is considerably worse than what Google Earth provides. https://albedo.com/product-specs https://albedo.com/product-specs
