Products that do what I calculated sun/shade exposure for every seat at World Cup stadiums does
Last year, I went to a game at a stadium I had never visited (Arrowhead). Ended up baking in the sun for the entire second half. Afterwards, was surprised I couldn't find a tool that told me where the sun would actually be during games. So for WC2026 I built SeatSun: a free tool (no sign up needed) that calculates sun/shade exposure for every section at the World Cup 2026 stadiums depending on date and match time. The technical core: solar azimuth and altitude calculations (based on Meeus astronomical algorithms, ~0.3 degree accuracy) tied to each stadium's orientation and GPS…

For HTML Day 2025 [1], I made a web service that displays the current sky at your approximate location as a CSS gradient. Colours are simulated on-demand using atmospheric absorption and scattering coefficients. Updates every minute, without the use of client-side JavaScript. Source code and additional information is available on GitHub: https://github.com/dnlzro/horizon [1] https://html.energy/html-day/2025/index.html

I wanted to sit outside for coffee but there was no way to see which cafes are in the sun right now. So I built a map that shows which cafes, benches, and outdoor seats are in the sun vs. shade at any time of day. It ray-marches building shadows live in a WebGL shader over a MapLibre map. I also pre-index all places from OpenStreetMap into H3 hex cells and serve them as static JSON on Cloudflare R2, so the client just fetches the cells in view and no backend is needed. Feedback welcome, especially on shadow accuracy in your city. Currently only buildings and trees are taken into account when…

This is a little hobby project that I hope you enjoy. You can see where the International Space Station is now, with live HD video from NASA, on a realistic 3D globe. The positions of the sun and moon are also accurate, though distances aren't to scale. The clouds are also near-realtime; I span that out into a separate project at https://clouds.matteason.co.uk, where the cloud images I create from EUMETSAT data are freely available. I've got more features almost ready to go, like the ability to turn off all UI, toggleable clouds and turning off the day/night cycle I'd love for…

I created this app to accurately calculate light windows like Golden hour, blue hour, etc. for a particular city/location. It helps you plan your photography time by knowing the exact time and direction of sun. It uses swiss ephemeris on the backend to calculate all the path and timings for most accurate data. It also has a 3D view of the sun's path on any day and at any point of the day for the location. Looking at the sun's direction and angle can help you plan your shoot correctly. It is a simple app with no sign-in needed or any ads. Hopefully it helps folks out there. Open to…

I kept trying to explain how important outdoor light is and how most people aren’t getting enough. Eventually I figured that showing is more effective than telling. So we built a free app that uses your Apple Watch or iPhone to automatically track your light exposure throughout the day. It tells you if you’re getting enough, shows you how consistent you are, and rewards habits that support hormone balance. It's in beta on TestFlight, let me know what you think!

Hi all! With the World Cup around the corner, and being a football fan, I went looking for apps that would give me a detailed overview of groups, matches categorized by group or team, a daily timeline of when games happen that day (especially useful for us in Europe, since some games run pretty late), and a way to follow my favorite team or teams. The problem I ran into was that most apps out there are pretty bloated — like, really bloated. The ones that weren't either didn't focus on the World Cup specifically, or were ridden with betting ads and ads in general. So I built a very minimal…
