It would be nice to be able to access the website on a smartphone (even if the experience is suboptimal), instead of denying access.

Smartphones have the huge advantage of direction sensors (3D magnetometer and gyro). I remember using apps like Google sky map (or something like that) way back in 2011 to look at satellites and planets.

  • Not sure if this is the app you were referring to, But Stellarium does exactly what you're describing.

There's a mobile app that supposedly works worldwide (but isn't available in my country).

Really wish mobile browsers were better liars when it comes to "desktop mode"

  • Seriously. Plus, what is the problem that some websites are 'fixing' by denying me a choice in how the website loads?
