New app always points to the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy
iPhone compass app made with AI assistance locates the heart of the Milky Way.

Reminder that last year I made an iPhone app that always points at the centre of the Milky Way
It peaked at 87 in the US App Store free apps chart (Travel category) haha
Hereโs what Ars Technica said about it

looks like bsky ate some of the syntax, I've added a screenshot here
you give it an existing file (e.g. from your code repo), it uploads it to a new mist doc, and gives you the url to share/edit

Neat! Cloudflare DO all the way. Yjs/TipTap for sync and editor, and CriticMarkup for comments + suggested changes. Will you be adding those? Would love to get some interop on a file format for a proper distributed md-native alt to Google Docs

A revolutionary idea!
When I got my iPhone I spent literally 30 mins pinch zooming photos and laughing
Have you tried Apple Vision Pro? I got an in-store demo and it should have been magical; goodness knows how but they have sucked out all the joy

my problem with Liquid Glass is that it isnโt ludicrous enough. when I tap, send out ripples. dolly zoom all app launches. ghiblify the entire mail app, the whole UI at 60fps. run a crowd simulator on the alarm screen so thousands flee in terror as I swipe my finger. make my icons hairy
