I built this on my phone over lunch. Floating in Space drops you into orbit: real NASA Earth imagery, drifting satellites, a meteor shower every 2 minutes that everyone online sees at the same time, and other visitors floating quietly beside you. No sign-up, no download - just open the link and drift. It's free. I'd love feedback on how it feels on desktop vs mobile.

Could you build this?
Yes It is a lightweight web app that combines NASA imagery, drifting satellites, a synced meteor timer, and simple multiplayer presence. Those are standard web and WebSocket techniques a solo builder can vibe-code.
