I build a space simulation. It's not perfect, but it's free and in the browser. Still working on it. Would be super happy if you try this #astronomy #simulation #physics #sciart

The night sky in #Namibia was so incredibly dark. I've never seen the milky way this clearly. #astrophotography

Hard to see, but coming soon to Luna - my space sim:
Black Holes.
Open to any more suggestions. I think astrobiology and especially letting planet's biomes change depending on temperature are two bigger tasks I am still very keen on implementing #astronomy #space

Update on trying the Meta Ray Ban Development Setup:
It was super easy to get the video into your app. Now on to doing stuff with it

I love how "Referer-Header" is just the accepted way the Header field is spelled, even though it's been over 30 years.

My Space Simulator was mentioned in the Teletext of the Österreichischer Rundfunk - National Public Broadcaster of Austria. Super cool :D

The one thing I will tell everyone:
Don’t buy a #gopro Their products have seriously gone downhill.
Went snorkeling with my “10m waterproof” GoPro- it broke, they claimed I didn’t seal it properly
Now: TWO separate batteries died, I barely even used the batteries. Third one in a year. It’s absurd

Anyone built tools for the Meta Ray-Ban? The SDK has been public. Curious about building for it too.
Still having my doubts whether #AR will be as ubiquitous as some people like to claim.
Thoughts?

One tough part about being a digital #nomad, nomad, perpetual traveler, or whatever you want to call it is the fact that you feel home in many places and nowhere at the same time. No matter how fun it looks by just looking at the highlights on YouTube/instagram. Maybe it’s just me.

My idea-validation app stack:
NextJS for web
Expo for mobile
Supabase
FastAPI if I need some ML
Running everything on a single Hetzner VPS for 10 € a month.
I love native development, but when you want to go from idea to prototype, you want to be able to validate quickly.

I brought back a collaborative #art wall I worked on earlier this year.
One square per artwork

My solar system simulator was at the top of r/internetisbeautiful
Really cool to see other people liked the project I put so much time into, too.

I've added sonification to the space simulator. You can now generate random solar systems and listen to them.
I really enjoy it. Try this one for example:

This is incredibly fun. Generating random solarsystems and seeing if any of your orbits stabilize and whether any of the planets becomes habitable.
Might be the most fun thing I have ever built.
