They're having another crack at it with GOV.UK One Login: https://www.sign-in.service.gov.uk/ I've participated in some user research with the team building it and I've also designed GOV.UK services pre-One L

The same artists created a similar piece called Listening Post, which I love: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rzfnndd9fCk I built a much more basic web-based version of it, using Twitter posts, a few years ago. It stopped w

This can also affect voice dictation software like Dragon - if a user says 'Click myemail@mydomain.tld' it won't activate the link as Dragon is expecting 'Click email us', as that's now what the browser exposes

If you have a minute would you mind trying this version: https://isstest.matteason.co.uk I've shrunk the textures down to about 10% of the size of the original to see if it's a memory issue caused by the large textures

Hey - this sounds really interesting and I'd love to work on making this more useful for schools. Do you mind dropping me an email or a Twitter DM with more info? They're both in my profile

Yep, there's a settings link in the top left where you can toggle that and loads of other stuff :)

The source data it uses refreshes every 3 hours but it runs more frequently because the timing of the refresh isn't guaranteed. If you configure your app to refresh every 30 minutes - 1 hour that's probably good enough.

By the way, this pairs nicely with the 'ambient radio' feature on my other project Ambiphone if you want the full "space exhibit at the science museum" experience: https://ambiph.one/?m=1-Ambient+radio-bf

Yes absolutely - I'm also using satellite.js so anything with a TLE available could be visualised. I'll have a think about how I could fit that in the UI.

Definitely interested in adding more if you have any pointers for where to get interesting data!

by matteason 2y ago
I've wanted to do it but didn't really know where to start, so I'm very interested to hear if anyone has any pointers. I'll have a look at your project too

That's a brilliant idea - looks like https://www.blitzortung.org allows their data to be used in non commercial projects so I'll look into that

I do actually use monthly snow/ice cover images in both projects! They're in the repo for the live clouds service [0]. I created them using the monthly images you linked combined with the Blue Marble "Land Surface, Ocean Colo

There's a composite image with the clouds and earth at https://clouds.matteason.co.uk/images/8192x4096/earth.jpg that you might be able to use?

It did originally have a little model of the ISS actually but I ran into some issues with the model loader - going to try and reinstate that feature

by matteason 2y ago
Thanks, I'll see if I can improve that. The textures are quite hefty so that's probably slowing it down. Are you on a mobile/cellular data connection?

Thanks! It's not Cesium, no - I'm using Globe.GL [0] with custom shaders for the atmosphere effects and day/night transition Sorry about right-click. It's not disabled intentionally, it might be something in Globe.GL or

Ooh very interesting, thanks! I did have a little model of the ISS in place of the yellow dot originally but I ran into some issues with it. Would be very interesting to get that fixed up and rendering accurately too

I don't suppose either of you have any content blockers installed in Safari? Someone on Reddit has mentioned that disabling content blockers fixed the globe not loading

Yeah there's definitely some latency in the video. I thought about adding an option to compensate for it (ie delay the position shown by some amount of seconds) but the delay is probably going to vary quite a bit over time so I don&#x2

Sorry about that - unfortunately I can't reproduce it on an iPad Pro and I use Android but I'll see if I can borrow an iPhone to test on

It might be legal but it's against Google's policies I'm afraid: > Contributions to Google Maps should reflect a genuine experience at a place or business. Fake engagement is not allowed and will be removed. This includes:

Thanks! Yeah rewinding would be good (especially if I can get the video to sync up) and next pass time would be great

Do you really have over 10,000 customers? The domain name was only registered on 10 March this year

This is really nice. Works pretty seamlessly and the drawing tools are great. A couple of bits of feedback: - I wasn't able to get PrtSc working as the hotkey. Ctrl+PrtSc did work though. I'm on Windows 11 and I tried turning off

It's not, no - it has a rinky-dink little computer with a simple 7-segment LCD, which is connected to whatever in the bike is measuring rotations via a 3.5mm jack. I did experiment with seeing if I could read a signal from it via a mic

Interesting idea, and the UX of the product itself is really interesting and not something I've seen before. I think it could work really well for the target market. A couple of issues I noticed: - If you pivot there doesn't seem

This looks great. Sadly I've got a non-smart exercise bike so I can't try it out but the design of the game looks great and I love that it's browser-based The only feedback I'd have is that it might be nice if the websit

Ok, I'll rephrase - it's extremely unethical and possibly also illegal in some jurisdictions to pretend to be a normal user and not disclose that you're the creator of the product in your testimonial
