Description
Hey everyone, I’m the creator of ShadowFinder. We’ve all been there: checking if a tree shades solar panels, finding a sunny garden spot, or parking a camper in the shade. I built ShadowFinder to solve this—without accounts, tracking, or fees. Why try it? • Instant and Universal: Open app.hochuli.lu or download the Android app. • 100% Private and Offline: GPS data stays on your device. Works without internet. • Interactive Sliders: Scrub through hours. Please share your honest feedback!

Could you build this?
Yes The entire tool is a client-side web utility calculating solar positions using well-known open-source astronomical equations (e.g., SunCalc) and rendering vector/canvas shadows using DeviceOrientation and Geolocation APIs.
