When Will the ISS Visit My House?

A tiny tool that tells you when the ISS comes to say hi.

Python, 📄 MIT

I built this tiny tool because I wanted to feel that spark again — the joy of creating something small, delightful, and completely unnecessary. Three years ago I made a silly project that tracked the ISS and sent its position to a RabbitMQ queue, and that curiosity never left me. So I rebuilt it as a tiny tool: a playful little app that tells you when the ISS will fly over your roof, draws its orbit, and answers a question nobody asked but everyone secretly enjoys. It’s over‑engineered, charming, and a reminder that building tiny things keeps the magic alive.
