       Show HN: Galactic Compass - an app that points to the galactic
       center
        
       I made a single-serving iPhone app with a floating green arrow that
       always points to the center of the Milky Way, 26,000 lights years
       away. It's weirdly grounding. I've never made an app before, so
       here's how it worked with ChatGPT.
