The new version of @Mapbox GL JS introduces non-Mercator map projections, reimagined for the interactive maps era in a way you've never seen before. This is a big deal. Thread:

Want to get paid to play with remote sensing data for 12 months? Pretty awesome opportunity from @Microsoft and @GEOSEC2025 earthobservations.org/geo_bl…

Through years of research, development, and testing, Virginia Norwood created the multispectral scanner system that flew on the very first #Landsat satellite and is considered the mother of the Earth-observing satellite series. 🛰️

Mine was 4000$. As RemotePixel, Kyle's work is fully open source, you can deploy your own instance in few clicks... but still some people are too lazy!!! I'm sorry for you @kylebarron2 but don't stop doing nice stuff 🙏🙏🙏
Time to shut down my old personal projects... Someone abused/scraped one of my map tiling APIs in June, sending the service 200 million API requests and me an $850 AWS bill 😱😭 1/9

Hopefully data is not wasted, there are plenty other project far better than RemotePixel to access open data such as Landsat and sentinel cc @sinergise

> Thoughts on keeping a lightweight viewer online? Keep an eye on @developmentseed ;-)
I hope closing RemotePixel won't create any trouble😐and if it does I'm deeply sorry.

Thanks to this project, I had the chance to work at @mapbox and then at @developmentseed where I'm trying to continue what I started with RPix.

When I started this website (as a side project), I couldn't imagine that couple months after, hundreds of people would use it. It was fun the whole time (ok maybe not when I received a 4k $ bill from AWS), and I've learn so much and got to meet so many awesome people.

RemotePixel journey has been absolutely crazy and I can't tell how proud I am today, but also how thankful I am to all the people that helped me, encouraged me, wrote to me or just followed me.

Let's be honest, RemotePixel has been mostly broken for months (like maybe 10% of the projects works) and soon with the deprecation of the AWS Landsat PDS, 99% of the site will be broken. Also today there are plenty of other awesome and maintained projects.

My comment to @OHagolle post on free and open data in #remotesensing: fine, but who pays for the processing? Next step is a free public cloud service to use them. I tried to summarize my thoughts here: labo.obs-mip.fr/multitemp/fr… Caveat: I'm not an economist, comments are welcome!
