    Why require an app? This could be perfectly usable as a website, no?

    I would have expected at least a few sample real-world photos on that page.

    A beautiful project by fellow Recurse Center alums Victoria Ritvo and John Pribyl!

    I’m a little concerned by how little information is on the website and the fact that the Google Play listing has what are clearly screenshots from iOS.

    > This app is currently not available in your country or region.

    Is there actually reason to not just check all the countries in the list in the app store?

    Oh this post again. Kind of made sense to repost it on the solstice, but why again and again and now?

    I'd really like if you showed a few examples so we know what we are looking for.

    "A "henge" is when the sun or moon is perfectly framed by a street or appears to sit on top of a building"

    Not really?

      Well, heck, why not? The more typical modern usage of the word henge means an earthwork consisting of a ring-shaped bank with a ditch in the middle. It was taken from Stonehenge, and note that Stonehenge does not fit that definition of henge (because its ditch is outside the bank). The henge in Stonehenge actually means suspended, as in "suspended stones". So go ahead and pile on another definition also quasi-related to Stonehenge, I say.
