AstroClock: The world's first real-time, offline-capable astrology platform powered by the Swiss Ephemeris and WASM

I built this because I wanted a high-precision astrology tool that didn't rely on server-side calls for every calculation. The Tech: I ported the Swiss Ephemeris (C library) to the browser using WebAssembly (WASM). This allows the site to perform complex planetary calculations locally with near-native speed. Key Features: Offline-First: Once loaded, it works entirely without an internet connection. Precision: Uses the same data standards as professional astronomical software. Simulation Mode: You can jump to any point in time to see the 'Cosmic Weather' score. I'm curious to hear what the community thinks about the performance of the WASM implementation or the UI/UX for such a data-heavy clock!(https://www.astroclock.ch/)
