Life Sprites - Collaborative stargazing kit for meteor showers
Show HN: Meteor shower, planet alignment, eclipse kit
Life Sprites lets users build and share interactive kits composed of multiple mini-apps, or 'sprites.' This particular kit, the Perseids Stargazing Kit, includes a countdown timer, a sky clarity checker, and a shooting star counter, all designed to enhance the meteor shower viewing experience. It's a creative way to combine practical tools for astronomy enthusiasts, and the collaborative sharing aspect makes it easy to set up for friends or family. Sign in to add the kit to your Life Sprites and start stargazing.
Your sprite will help set them up, making it easy to enjoy the Perseids with a personalized, interactive guide.

A note to anyone still checking this out..
The "sprite" knows the app well. It you're curious about anything just ask through chat. AND.. Pretty please, someone just try building something through the sprite. This is my dying wish for this thread... Please try the app this thing was built in. Create your own stargazing guide or share your telescope manual with the sprite so you can do the whole RAG pipeline with a question about how something works... maybe throw a recipe at the sprite and watch it create a step by step cooking guide. Tell it you care about your mom in California and to keep an eye on fires, earthquakes, air quality and weather. Ask the sprite about astronomy things. Switch to a new sprite and see how the capabilities stay the same but it makes you laugh more or less. Oh and ask it how it remembers you and itself and how it deals with time. I spent a lot more time on all of that than I did on astronomy. Please somebody actually use the app.

Oh or ask it to create a custom tracker for something. I've done game score boards, health trackers, meteor sightings. It's all made in a couple seconds. It's definitely not perfect yet, but I'd love feedback on the actual thing I made instead of the thing I made with the thing I made. If you have a minute I would appreciate it more than you know.

I'm seeing that there's traffic coming from Europe. Realizing I use US measurements for everything. I'm working on fixing that right now. Sorry for the oversight.
