Worldviewsearch Chrome Extension

What is it?

Well lets say you're trying to index images of the earth, and you want to find similar images to your input. That's exactly what this is for - a chrome extension built on React, that lets you take a snapshot of satelite images from NASA's worldview website, and lets you perform similarity searches on the same, which is returned back to you, in a neat and clean UI
