Back in 2020, I was contacted by a company that was sourcing Android apps for the U.S. Army. I learned about the hackathon they organized and decided to compete with a few apps (apparently, developing only one was not enough for me). During the hackathon, the SolarWinds security breach was discovered, and the whole event was canceled. We didn't manage to present the apps in all competing categories; however, this one went through (and no, it did not win).
As there is no point in keeping your work on your drive only, I decided to publish it on Google Play anyway, and you know how the story goes... I got filthy rich—again (total revenue: $4.28 USD).
Today, I returned to the app after five years of neglect and updated it to comply with the latest Google Play Store policies. Yes, the app needs a complete redesign, but I'll leave that for another time, perhaps along with open-sourcing it as well.
In any case, if you are planning some kind of special forces operation, or if you are merely a search and rescue coordinator, pilot, sailor, astronomer, photographer, farmer, outdoor adventurer, event planner, researcher or scientist, you might find my app, Celestial Illumination for Android, useful.
