Constellations

a simple static website to show the images of constellations as shown in https://stellarium.org when a different culture is selected.

Todo

• REFACTOR

• add an about page describing this

• try parsing & showing the culture descriptions

• maybe try to organize the source repo a bit ?

• change deployment - make it run in python directly

• google, sharing stuff (whew)

• list cultures (also ?) per region

• some kind of search ? (huh, javascript ... or google / someone else ? might be better for starters )

• fetch culture list from github, somehow discern those w/out pictures

• add next / previous to culture page

• "proper behavior" - alts on images, links ...

issues

• gitcdn does a nasty redirect to hash (?) - takes extra 300ms

NTH

• show constellations that are around similar stars in other cultures
• overlay with stars (not sure it makes sense though)
• link to the stellarium web for each constellation (<- that would be excellent)
• tweetbot to publish 1 constellation daily (?) w/ a link
• publish thumbs upstream
• t-shirts :) or something ...
• FIND MORE ART ?! - Africa ?
