Ooh, this is great! Reminds me of one of my all-time favorite open-source Android apps: Sky Map! https://github.com/sky-map-team/stardroid

Nice! I know it’s built with an LLM and that a vocal minority on this site doesn’t seem to like that for some reason, but personally I’m really enjoying the new interactive web experiences that younger developers are shipping to the internet every day. Thanks for sharing, and out of curiosity, what prompts did you use?

Im not a LLM / vibe code hater (in fact a big user) but I wonder are these people just not looking for an existing solution or do they want their own bespoke version for access to some internals and to (kind of?) learn the high level of what goes into these projects. If its the former, people are wasting their own time, money and energy when spending a similar amount of time searching vs prompting might yield better results for their use case. If its the latter, unless there is a killer feature, which I dont see in the github repo, why not point people to use the actively maintained project instead of the one the vibe coder is going to let die on the vine once they get bored. Its fracturing the space, for what gain? (no pun intended) Also how much of this code is the LLM lifting from Stellarium either indirectly in the training data or actively searching for it to reference the code in its context? https://github.com/Stellarium/stellarium https://stellarium-web.org/
