Regardless of whether it’s useful or not, the level of creative intelligence is impressive

I think these kind of projects are great for stress testing terminal performance as well.

Similar concept but for a social network: gno.world
It's pretty refreshing to see such a nice and readable README. vibe coders, please take notes.

Saving one memory...

I took note of your suggestion, next time I will write the README in the voice of da-luce/astroterm README.

Seems pretty average to me. What is it you specifically like?

(Curious as someone who struggles to write readmes)

ASCII-rendered visuals looks pretty decent.

After reading the first sentence, I cannot stop imagining some Rust people cannot stop salivating at the prospect to a version saying, "written in Rust", "safe", etc. ~

Not really. One example image has Capella, Rigel, and Sirius clearly marked. But even with that, I can not make out Orion, probably the most recognizable constellation behind the big dipper.

I would absolutely love a terminal Stellarium alternative, but this isn't it.

Nice to combine with the Astrological CPU Scheduler: https://github.com/zampierilucas/scx_horoscope
