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
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
Build on what’s already there or let your piece stand alone.

No AI art.

New Feature in my space simulator - When placing planets, we now see how the orbit (hopefully) will look. Makes it much easier to place planets.

I would love to be able to travel with a 3D printer. Not having my homelab with me on the road is one of the struggles as a nomad

Happy new year!

I built something I've been thinking about for a while. If you want to try something new in 2026, check it out.

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.

I couldn't believe that there's no straightforward way to export my chat history in #microsoftteams, so I wrote a plugin for it. It's pending approval in the Chrome web store, but the source code is public.

Microsoft Teams is proof that your software does not have to be good

#Vegan : Any ideas for good meals that I can take on the go? I'm thinking: Going camping somewhere without many vegan options, or being on a boat for a few days. Current things I am looking at are: TVP, Tofu that can be kept at room temperature and Huels ready meals.
