ShotBrief answers whether tomorrow is worth going out at your shoot location, weather, sunrise and sunset, moon phase, aurora where it applies, and a go/no-go score for the whole day.

Because I like going out early for photography, but I also like sleeping in, so this just tells me if it's worth it waking up early.

That's a cool idea, thanks for the link, like the visual showing where the sun will be in relation to a spot.

I'm working on Dronygon, a map of cool drone flying locations.

Well I just put it live couple of days ago, now I'm just starting to post my own locations.

Had this idea when I wanted to take my drone out but didn't know where to go. And as a plus I really wanted to learn more about working with maps and geolocation for an upcoming project, so this was a perfect way to learn it and make something useful.

I recently removed Google Analytics from my websites and set up the self-hosted umami (https://umami.is/) analytics. One of the best things about it is how fast it opens, while GA is so laggy.

This is one of my favourite things about working from home. I can take a power nap in the afternoon and be so much more productive when I wake up!
