@jgravois 👋 awesome, thanks for the issue here. Yes, I will drop in some ideas here, I think that's a great idea. More shortly but they revolve around some improved workflows into the Tasking Manager and then also some potential offline use with OpenMapKit.
some kind of port of World Imagery (Wayback)
Sounds interesting and curious to know more about the idea

awesome @smit1678!
some kind of port of World Imagery (Wayback)
curious to know more about the idea
Besides the blog post i linked to previously, the app below is probably the best way to get familiar with Esri's Wayback Imagery service.
if you think having access to historic imagery (back to 2014) in iD to compare/contrast with whatever is fresh could be useful, just say the word.

Hi @jgravois
Thank you very much for your offer.
The two most important things to me as someone who creates projects are, native or effective zoom level, date of the imagery at max zoom level (this often changes in DG imagery layers between z17 and z18), and what area the imagery covers.
At the moment, most Esri imagery seems to go up to about z17. If there was anyway to get native or good effective z18 that would help mappers a lot. I might have those numbers off by one, but Esri World imagery is just one zoom level short of what we usually work with from DG and a bit more difficult for mappers to map from as a result.
As to the date of the imagery, there is a website we use to determine the date:
https://www.arcgis.com/home/webmap/viewer.html?webmap=c03a526d94704bfb839445e80de95495
A minor improvement would be to have the capture date available in the meta data of the imagery tiles themselves. Then we could get an idea right in our native tool (JOSM).
However, an other big improvement would be to allow the download of the imagery footprint so we could build projects around the Esri imagery exactly. Often time 2017 imagery will border something much older like 2012 so only working in the area of the 2017 is important.
See this example, the blue outline would be what we want to download:
Thank you and thank Esri very much, Esri Worldwide imagery, is often the newest available and works well for us generaly.

i actually PRed this feature in iD last year. it is activated via ⌘ Cmd/Ctrl + ⇧ Shift + B
the information isn't encoded into the actual tiles, but it is accessible via spatial web queries so i'd be happy to act as a resource if you can find someone interested in porting the code into JOSM.
another big improvement would be to allow the download of the imagery footprint so we could build projects around the Esri imagery exactly.
you could certainly fetch these features as JSON via spatial web queries and display the information in JOSM. would it be helpful for me to write up a quick prototype in Leaflet to outline the flow?
higher resolution imagery
Esri's catalog is a composite of commercial sources and photography contributed to our Community Maps Program. we're always pursuing higher quality and more recent content but in the remote areas where you guys and gals work its not super likely you'll start to see significantly higher resolution stuff getting served up.

closing, but always happy to keep the discussion alive.
