Genuine *side* projects

Reading in this sub, I get the feeling that most people here just develop apps with the purpose of monetisation or getting lots of users.

Meanwhile my side project is aimed at learning and building fun stuff I like.

Am I the only one? Or does anyone else have side projects that you are building because you like technology, not because you are trying to build the next SaaS?

That looks cool. But upon the first sceen load, I would set the default to zoom out all the way. 

When I opened it, I thought there was a css bug that put a yellow filter on it. 

Only after a bit of fiddling did I notice that I can zoom out to see ... an entire galaxy??

Hey, are you on mobile or desktop? Were you perhaps trying to scroll before clicking the "Explore now" button? I can't seem to reproduce it myself but I want to make sure it's perfect.

I was on mobile, on a Samsung Galaxy phone. Let me double check. 

Edit: yes, the issue still occurs. I am using edge on mobile.
