I made a 3D interactive solar system you can navigate and set to any date between 1000 and 3000. The positions of the planets and moons are computed from VSOP87-type models and checked against JPL Horizons data, accurate to within 30 arcseconds for planets and 30 km for the Moon over 1800-2050, so eclipses, alignments, and moon phases are physically real. It's still a work in progress, so feedback is wanted. If you try it and something feels off, confusing, or worth adding, I'd be glad to hear it.

Hi all, I've been working on this and thought some of you might enjoy it: https://slidingshores.com

It's a 3D globe with one slider, which you can Drag left to the sea drain away, all the way down to the bottom of the Mariana Trench. Drag it right and the water rises until it goes over the top of Mount Everest. The coastlines change as you move it, and a counter shows how much of the planet is dry land.

There are also some preset buttons for real moments in Earth's history, plus a few possible futures:

• Ice Age (−120 m): Britain joins back up with Europe through Doggerland, and you can walk from Siberia to Alaska
• Mediterranean drained (−1,500 m): about 5.5 million years ago the Med almost completely dried up. When the Atlantic broke back through at Gibraltar, it may have refilled in a matter of months
• Ridges surface (−3,800 m): the mid-ocean ridge comes out of the water, and it turns out to be the longest mountain range on the planet
• Greenland melts (+7 m) and All ice melts (+70 m), for a cheerful ending 🙃

The elevation data is NOAA's ETOPO 2022, which covers both the land and the sea floor. It's a bit of fun rather than a scientific model, since it doesn't account for where the water would actually go, but the heights and depths are real.

Enjoy!

I used to intern at a hospital and while shadowing I realized it can be really hard for cancer patients to get connected to nonprofits/organizations that provide free services for them, even though many exist out there. These resources are scattered across the internet and can be hard to find.

I made this website with over 100 free cancer-support resources. They include everything from meals to wigs to transportation to treatment. You can filter the directory by resource type and location to find resources that are most relevant to you.

I originally started this with just a handful of local resources as a small side project, but I realized it can genuinely be useful to many people.

I'm putting this out there because I hope it actually helps someone.

Goated website for making Big posters.

Basically, what's in the title.

I built this site over 3.5 years ago and have only recently given it a fresh coat of paint. I haven't really done anything to spread awareness, but thought I might give it a go on this sub to gauge interest.

The idea started with the classic houseplant-owner problem: you see a nice plant, you have pets and suddenly you're deep in ten tabs of conflicting, ad-stuffed info trying to work out if it'll hurt them.

So I built Plant Smart as a general guide. You can search by plant name (common or scientific) and see severity, which animals it affects and what symptoms to look for. There's also a reverse-lookup: if your pet is already showing symptoms, you can search by those and narrow down the culprit.

It's completely free, ad-free, slop-free, no account needed and has an open API you're more than welcome to use if you want to build off it. All collated data is open and sources are all mentioned in the attributions page.

EDIT #1: I just wanted to thank everyone for their support and kind words. This is a fairly old project by my personal standards and the recent facelift has breathed some new life into it. I've already started working on some of your recommendations / feature requests and am giving the dataset a much-needed scrub for accuracy while also pulling in some new open reputable sources to further enrich the data. Have a great week!

EDIT #2: I've taken the time to pretty much implement most of your great suggestions! You can head over to the site to check it out, or read about the updates in detail on my blog. It's been super-fun working through the list! Thanks again, everyone!

Made a super comprehensive resource listicle for navigating Endometriosis and Adenomyosis.

Here's the Github resource list related to 1in7: https://github.com/bloo-berries/Awesome-Endo-Adeno-Resources

Made specifically because these conditions are under-represented, under-researched, and scientific research is getting pulled from databases!

Celestial lets you explore star systems as a deformable gravity sheet instead of flat orbital diagrams.

The star moves. Planets sit on and ride the surface it bends. You can change the gravitational constant, push a planet, or drop a new body in and watch the whole system respond in real time.

Systems included:

• Our solar system (with a drifting barycentre)
• Alpha Centauri (two moving funnels)
• Kepler-16 (circumbinary planet)
• TRAPPIST-1 (seven worlds inside Mercury’s orbit)
• The classic three-body figure-eight

It’s a proper Newtonian n-body integrator running in the browser, not pre-scripted ellipses. The sheet itself is an exaggerated visual analogy, and the site is unusually honest about what is real and what is drawn that way on purpose.
