●●SolidEye CandyNiche Gem
Real-time NASA solar feeds paired with offline moon phase math is a killer combo.
Strengths
- •Direct integration with NASA SDO and DONKI APIs for live space weather data.
- •Uses Jean Meeus's Astronomical Algorithms for precise, offline-capable moon calculations.
- •Visually striking interface that makes complex solar layers accessible.
Weaknesses
- •Bot protection gate on the landing page creates immediate friction for new visitors.
- •Lacks deep analytical tools for the space weather data beyond simple listing.
