Solar Eclipse Planner Web App Built in a Day with Claude Code
fredodurand · x · 2026-08-24
Inspired by watching the eclipse in Spain, Fredo Durand built a web app to plan for future eclipses in less than a day using Claude Code. The app features:
- Route selection based on duration, flight stops, driving distance from the airport, and country safety.
- Airbnb search integration approximated with rectangles (due to lack of API).
- Display of interesting sights, clear sky probability, and expected temperature.
