Flipper Space Calculators

A set of minimalist space- and physics calculators for the Flipper Zero — relativistic time dilation, space-travel figuring, and friends, all on the 128×64 screen for back-of-the-napkin astrophysics in your pocket.

I think I like it because it's so useless but still utilitarian — cyberpunk and gestural. It's a tool for a time / space-traveler who doesn't exist, or maybe does, and makes a tool that he would find handy.

It's also an experiment in pushing what small Flipper apps can do, and imagining utilities that would make sense within its capabilities — using the limits as a method of inspiration. This is what came from that.
