Binder badge for example notebooks

[kylebarron]

Can create a binder badge to the repo from this page: https://mybinder.org/; more env docs here: https://mybinder.readthedocs.io/en/latest/introduction.html

This would be great to do.

I tried to spin a Binder notebook with one of the examples: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/developmentseed/lonboard/HEAD?labpath=examples%2Finternet-speeds.ipynb

It seems like there are some missing dependencies / I could be doing something wrong but was not able to get the map to work.

From the Binder docs, it seems like it's looking for an environment.yml file similar to https://github.com/binder-examples/conda/blob/main/environment.yml

@kylebarron let me know if I can help with this or help testing or anything .

I'll look into this, but one thing to try is subsetting the data to a smaller region before plotting.

Binder should be picking up the requirements.txt in the .binder folder: https://github.com/developmentseed/lonboard/blob/main/.binder/requirements.txt

And additionally we try to pre-cache binder docker images so that it'll be fast to load for the user https://github.com/developmentseed/lonboard/blob/main/.github/workflows/build-binder-image.yml (ref https://github.com/jupyterhub/repo2docker-action#cache-builds-on-mybinderorg)

On Friday, I believe the point notebook was working consistently for me (even with all the data) while the linestring example was crashing the kernel for an unknown reason

Hmm today it seems like the build step on Binder is failing, which was working yesterday: https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/developmentseed/lonboard/HEAD?labpath=examples%2Finternet-speeds.ipynb

@kylebarron do you know if this looks like something you changed in lonboard or something on the Binder side? I've tried 2-3 times today and the build has consistently failed for me with:

I'm 99% sure Read timed out is a binder issue and not ours. I've seen it randomly a few times myself.
