TL;DR Summary

Designer Matt Webb has created an iPhone app called Galactic Compass, which uses AI assistance to always point towards the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. The app, which is free and available on the App Store, aims to inspire awe about our place in the cosmos and is the result of Webb's decade-long journey to teach himself how to locate the galactic core. With the help of AI assistant ChatGPT, Webb was able to turn his vision into reality, although the app currently has limitations in 3D calculations. Webb believes that Galactic Compass can help people ponder their place in the vast universe and recently peaked at #87 in the Travel chart for the US App Store.
