I've been a heavy user of Midnight Mars Browser for several years and I'm incredibly grateful for the work that Michael has done.
Now I ask myself, should we create again an alternative way to look and search for images coming from Mars? In the last several months I developed a way to ingest InSight images in order to have a small database and a telegram bot that tells me when a new image is uploaded to the InSight web site and I can try to do the same with the MSL imagery. But, I have several questions: What is the better way to show the data in the web page? Which is the best way to order the images? I'd love to hear some suggestions for that. Greetings. |

Big mastcam update! Still a work in progress, lots of loose ends to fix and the code is an absolute mess. But here it is:
Marslife currently shows the full Mastcam coverage of the selected site by using outlined placeholder images. When you click inside a placeholder area, the corresponding sequence name(s) will appear in a list below the lefthand menu. From this list you can choose the sequence you want to view and press 'LOAD' to download the images from the NASA server. Press tab to hide the placeholder images and press the 'm' key to toggle the display of both Mastcam and placeholder images. Checkout the updated preview here: https://captainvideo.nl/marslife/preview.html. Enjoy! -------------------- |

I will be running out of superlatives soon!
Everything works well here ( using Brave browser ) Clicking between placeholders & loading is just fine & intuitive. It would be great if there was a on/off toggle for each mastcam sequence. Tab function is a great feature that is getting a lot of use! Can't wait to see where you take this... it was already awesome to begin with! Big mastcam update!
