ISS Live Tracker

Started my ISS Live Tracker for Stardance 🛰️
Decided to build a real-time tracker for the International Space Station after realizing I wanted something that felt genuinely mine, not a pre-made project idea.
Built with plain HTML/CSS/JS + Leaflet.js for the map — no frameworks, kept it simple so I could actually understand every line.
What’s working so far:

-Live ISS position fetched from the Open Notify API, updating every few seconds
-A moving marker with a custom satellite icon
-A trail line showing the ISS’s recent path
-Real-time day/night shading on the map, using a library that calculates the sun’s actual position
-A full dark theme dashboard redesign

Funniest bug: my map completely broke and the console said map is not a function, turned out, autocomplete had renamed my L.map(…) calls to LargestContentfulPaint.map(…) without me noticing. Took a while to spot since it looked so plausible at a glance.
Next up: either a pass predictor (so you can tell when the ISS is visible from your location) or expanding into a broader space weather dashboard.
