How is planet better? Clicking on https://zoom.earth/ takes me directly to the overall imaging of the earth.

Planet seems to take you to a landing page with interesting things to look at. Not that that's bad, but interested to hear what's better about it

There’s a Planet Explorer, https://www.planet.com/explorer/. I worked on building it a few years ago. Unfortunately you have to have a Planet account and I believe those are paid only.

I have to disagree. That giant frame on the bottom looks to be unremovable. We lose that whole half the screen to "HEY LOOK AT THIS". With that is a sticky top that keeps dropping down to cover what little viewing room we have.

Maybe I'm missing something but this looks like one of the worst layouts I've ever seen.
