Awesome!

I'm looking for developers/contributors who also share interest in physics and space. This is a "leisure fun" project. A PWA, and it's mostly javascript.

We're making a Superbook on The Solar System for children that fits the gap between space/astronomy research and its applications and impact in real world applications. How it helps to better understand the world.

Meaning, this project uses plenty of math and physics and sometimes general observation to explain natural phenomena. Hope you'll like it!

github.com/marvindanig/The-Solar-S...

A live avatar of the partially done book is up here:

bubblin.io/cover/the-solar-system-...

A lot of kids/teachers already refer the current version of the book, so your work will directly benefit them i.e. the star individuals of the next generation. Space/physics is more important for kids today than ever before. The project is completely free and open source (MIT license) so translation to other languages, new chapters, visual explanations, shaders, AR/VR experiments –– every form of contribution is game and welcomed. :-)

Feel free to reach me on marvin att bubblin doot io if you have any questions.

Awesome project Marvin! Quick question, how are the animations made? Pure CSS?

Heya, thanks, I'm glad you like it!

Few pages like the cover are pure CSS3 animations while on others there are shaders or webgl or simply an embed from Youtube.✨
