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

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

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

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:
luna.watermelonson.com?scenario=b3d...

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.

#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.
