This is really cool! It might come in handy when house or property hunting. Here is another, similar tool I have found helpful for gardening. https://www.suncalc.org/

Absolutely! I remember looking at some houses on the south side of Donner Lake and somebody said the nickname for that area in the winter was "Siberia", because it spends a lot of time in the shade. I bought the suncalc app on the spot to double check -- and sure enough, they were right.
This tool does a much better job of telling the story. I wish it would've existed at the time!
