Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I'm Frank, a solo developer from the Netherlands. I built Coffee in the Sun because I was tired of picking a terrace only to end up sitting in the shade 20 minutes later. The idea is simple: real building shadows on a map, calculated from actual building heights and the sun's position. So you can see exactly where the sun is. Right now, or any time! For 2.0, I rebuilt everything from scratch as a fully native iOS app. The difference is night and day (pun intended): real-time shadow rendering on Apple Maps, widgets that show shadows right on your home screen, favorites, sharing, and a complete weather dashboard. Works worldwide, supports 30+ languages. The app is free to use with the core shadow map. Pro unlocks time travel, widgets, favorites, and more. Enjoy the sun! ☀️
