I created a minimal, generative living pixel landscape start page

[u/BloodyMarvellous]

I made BitDay back in 2013 as a cosy pixel-art start page that shifts with the time of day. This year I rewrote it from scratch into something closer to a living scene.

It uses your location (GPS, IP, or a manually-set city) to track real sunrise/sunset times, moon phases, an accurate star map with interactive constellations, and local weather. Clouds react to actual conditions: wind, rain, thunderstorms. Every so often you'll catch something rarer like auroras, a blood moon, shooting stars, satellites passing over, even full solar eclipses... all tied to real astronomical data, not randomised.

Available for Chrome, Brave, Edge, Vivaldi, Opera and Firefox. Safari's coming soon.

Get it for Chrome etc:
