Shipped the core of Lightyears ⭐

The idea: enter your birthday, and the app turns your age into light-years, then finds a REAL star whose light has been travelling toward Earth for exactly that long. So the light hitting your eyes tonight actually left that star the day you were born.

Built it on the HYG v4.1 star catalog — processed 100k+ stars down to a clean JSON of 8,800 worth showing. Dark, cinematic, mobile-first UI. No backend, pure HTML/CSS/JS.

Next up: turn the flat result card into a real 3D galaxy you can fly through.
