Fun challenge, but reminds me of my major pet peeve with the Delta inflight UI: The landing page looks empty! I frequently think it's broken or still loading.

Fun challenge, but reminds me of my major pet peeve with the Delta inflight UI:
The landing page looks empty!
I frequently think it's broken or still loading. All it features is the "New Releases - View" box in the bottom. I would expect to see something else there. Images of the first three featured movies perhaps? Anything other than the blank blue background.

- flutas 4y ago> (Dear delta engineers on HN, please add some preview images to this page). Delta (most likely) doesn't have actual engineers that handle the day to day work on the IFE systems, most of it is outsourced. I can't remember if they were a client or a not, but a lot of IFE systems (even byod ones) are sold by Panasonic and they basically run on a system that somehow felt worse than a RPI 3, and the bugs.... while working on a system I saw the same IP assigned multiple times to client devices. Also, a fun fact I recall. Last I heard (as of about 2018) media updates on planes required a tech to meet the plane at an airport and hot swap a HDD in a special enclosure. https://www.panasonic.aero/our-offerings/ https://www.panasonic.aero/our-offerings/
