I've been meaning to do this for the longest time but couldn't keep my blog super active. In this regard, the lockdown was a blessing for me.

I've built this tool because satellite imagery can be extremely beautiful [2], and I was looking for a way of regularly receiving high-resolution satellite views of arbitrary locations such as the center pivot irrigation farms of the American heartland [3] in my timeline. Plus, for obvious reasons, it's nice to see the world without actually having to go outside right now.
Currently, I'm running four Twitter bots based on ærialbot:
* @americasquared, which posts one randomly selected square mile of the United States every 4 hours: https://twitter.com/americasquared
* @placesfromorbit, which analogously posts a 5×5 km square anywhere in the world every 6 hours: https://twitter.com/placesfromorbit
* @baekmanpyeong, which similarly posts a 1.818×1.818 km square (that's a million (i.e. baekman) pyeong, an old-fashioned area measure) somewhere in South Korea every 8 hours: https://twitter.com/baekmanpyeong
* @nihonmusuukei, which posts a square kilometer of Japan every 12 hours: https://twitter.com/nihonmusuukei

Strava only for now but uploading GPX/KML files coming shortly.
Mostly have yoga instructors on the platform currently and am thinking about other product enhancements geared towards online instructors and classes.

I am so close to it being blog-ready though!
The new one is built with Django. It’s been a delight doing web work again.
I got a bunch of great feedback from another HN thread, so I'll leave my new lockdown company here as well (I also submitted it on your site) - https://coopersdogtreats.com/, where we make healthy, meat-based frozen dog treat mix.
