Astrotechne

by @jov3

Hello-- I've been building Astrotechne, a modern technical astrology workspace. I wanted to experiment with building my own ephemeris and calculation stack, and refine my agentic development workflow... and honestly make astrology software that doesn’t look like it was made in 2004. I started with asteroid calculation software, because much of it is Windows-only, and really inaccessible. (For the best one you literally need to email a guy to get it) A friend also asked me for a replacement for the old PlanetWatcher.com-- a site where you could use a time scrubber and animate through a chart (it's no longer around) Inevitably, the project has expanded into so much more... It's been a great way to experiment with MCP, different agentic coding processes, and to test some of the custom harnesses and context management tools I've been hacking on. Check it out! https://www.astrotechne.com Jove
