About AstraPixels
AstraPixels is a captivating animated, pixel-art map of the solar system that displays every celestial body at its real, current position. Rather than relying on copied lists, positions are dynamically computed directly from published orbital elements. Users can seamlessly zoom in and out from the blazing Sun all the way out to the distant Kuiper belt, exploring a rich catalog of 171 catalogued objects complete with sourced facts.
In addition to educational exploration and tracking what the night sky will do over the next six months, AstraPixels introduces a unique ownership feature. Every rock in the system is available for purchase: users can claim an asteroid for just $5, keep it forever, and assign it a custom name of their choice. Please note that names assigned here appear exclusively on AstraPixels and do not serve as official IAU designations.

About Posy
Posy is a streamlined wedding planning web application designed to simplify wedding preparation starting from a single detail: your wedding date. By entering the event date, Posy automatically builds a customized month-by-month checklist of 125 tasks, intelligently scheduled around the exact amount of time you have left until your big day.
The platform focuses on frictionless productivity, requiring no account creation to get started. Couples can manage their progress by checking off tasks, printing physical copies of their checklists, or sharing planning duties directly with their partner. While the core timeline checklist is completely free forever, Posy also offers an optional one-time upgrade known as the full Kit for $29, which unlocks additional tools for managing budgets, guest lists, and seating arrangements.

- Generates a 125-task month-by-month checklist tailored to your specific timeline
