From math to visualization, from sky coordinates to code.

How do we calculate Local Sidereal Time and turn it into something you can render?

This is also a creative coding project.

We build and draw a star plot step by step, and translate the astronomical concepts into JavaScript.

In this tutorial I break down Sidereal Time and show how to predict which stars you will see from your location at a given moment.

It is less magic and more Earth rotation.

Your call to stay silent, your call to be complicit.

I know that you would rather prefer me to talk about non-divisive topics. I think this is one of them. We should all be united on what is good and what is bad.

Are we scared to improve the world while knowing exactly what is good or bad?

I know we like to talk about positive things, but isn't aiming for a better society a positive thing?

This is just the beginning. More articles are coming, and soon an npm package so you can draw stars locally too.

Let’s go stargazing 🌌

Now I’m resharing that process as living articles. The code you read is the same code that runs.
Built with www.orgp.dev

So I built my own.

That decision turned into a year of coding, experiments, and prototypes, until I arrived at a solid, reproducible flow.

The alternatives felt wrong, either cheap in quality or expensive without justification. A 50€ poster that didn’t honor the moment of a newborn never sat right with me.

It started as a personal project.

I wanted a truly meaningful gift for friends who had just welcomed a newborn, something that actually honored that moment.

I’m sharing the first article in a series where I break down the concepts and formulas needed to actually understand and draw star maps yourself.

All profits will go to NGOs dedicated to the safeguarding of children around the globe.

I am looking for collaborators who want to volunteer to help build this. Please send me a message if you are interested in joining.

The working group will be in English.

I am building pedofree.com (not live yet), a listing of all the people involved, as well as the companies and political entities related to them, with links to the files that make this visible, and to promote companies that are free from such practices.

As a father, I can’t stay silent. As a human, I need to stand on the principle that vulnerable people should be defended. There is no politics, no ideology. It is simple: pedophiles should not be in positions of power, and we should not pretend to be immune to such scandals.
