So excited to start rolling out our new branding—amazing work by @blankenship on it! A little sneak peek:

@gradataero @north0fnorth 👋 nice shortcut!

[Anthony Colangelo @acolangelo]

Been enjoying the Dark Sky farewell ❤️

The few years I spent working on the app in the run up to their acquisition were a thrill, and it remains some of my favorite work.

I loved building the Apple Watch natural language location search feature. One of my favorite little bits.

@digits_sa Working on switching over to Himawari-9!

Pine Works (@pineworksco) makes world-class apps, websites, and digital products designed and built with good ethics and strong opinions. I’m saving files for delivery, but I saw they started posting snippets, so it’s on. Been a blast to bring it to life. This sap don’t nap!

This is the time of year when it’s awesome (in the awe sense of the word, and no other sense) to have GOES-East on your desktop with Downlink. Terrifying storm.

@garynapier @JakeOnOrbit It’s been extra amazing to see this storm develop with @acolangelo’s free Downlink Mac app where I see these images updated throughout the day as my desktop.

Excited to get this imagery into Downlink as soon as we can! Love how it’s got a GOES-Central view right now—not quite drifted all the way west yet.

BREAKING NEWS: We have first-light imagery from @NOAA's #GOES18🛰️! NOAA's newest geostationary satellite launched on March 1, 2022, and its Advanced Baseline Imager (#ABI) is already sending back stunning views. Check them out here: https://t.co/rznfIooNq7

@kmautewsu Been on my list, and is near the top right now! Hoping to get to it in the next week or two, actually.

[Pine Works @pineworksco]

Exciting day for Downlink users—new GOES satellite headed up! Will integrate the imagery from this new satellite once it’s operational and available.

[NOAA @NOAA]

Meteorologists now forecast a 70% chance of acceptable conditions for #GOEST liftoff from Cape Canaveral, Florida this afternoon. Tune in starting at 4pm ET for live coverage of today's scheduled #GOEST launch: https://t.co/nHg1aQnOL7

@MelanieHomer1 @acolangelo Looks like there was an outage with the GOES satellite imagery for a bit, but it seems to be fixed now from what I can see!

[Anthony Colangelo @acolangelo]

It’s a great day to have GOES-East selected in Downlink! Beautiful eclipse imagery.

GOES-16 is having a bad day in space.

Was launched in 2016 on an Atlas V:

@bradenmcg @Apple @tim_cook +1 to all that

I’ve put up some new help documentation for Downlink over here: https://t.co/jpVDgiJJRh

Check it out if you’ve got a question or are stuck on something!

[Pine Works @pineworksco]

@reconbot unfortunately that big folder is an Apple system folder, which I have no control over. Apple says things are working as designed there, and those are cleared when the system needs space: https://t.co/bWWITiNC5i

Whether that’s happening correctly or not is another question…

[Pine Works @pineworksco]

Downlink 2.1 out today!

Fixes mismatched background colors of full disk images and your desktop, and fixes some major RAM usage bugs.

Keep your eyes peeled for some new features soon!

@AmitIKumar Hmm, not sure what you’re talking about specifically, but there is an update coming later today with a massive performance improvement. Send me an email if you continue to see issues after that and we can work it out.

@ottmark That’s an Apple system folder, which is unfortunately outside Downlink’s sandbox. Apple says that things are working as designed there and it’s cleared when needed: https://t.co/bWWITiNC5i

Whether that’s happening correctly or not is another question…

@dg_tha98 should have an update out to patch that bug soon!
