Cinder is fantastic. I spent the start of last year fixing an old iPad app that was built with it called Planetary. It’s free on the App Store if anyone is interested. By pure chance I ended up getting in touch with the original developers and a couple of museum curators from Cooper Hewitt who helped acquire the original code as digital art work. https://sebchan.substack.com/p/48-on-planetary-in-2020-curatorial https://sebchan.substack.com/p/48-on-planetary-in-2020-curat... It’s been a lot of fun!

Hey, that's stunning. What a stellar experience Planetary was to play with when it came out. The collaboration between Robert Hodgin and Andrew Bell was quite something. It's always fun to watch Robert talk about the Planetary app in his Eyeo 2012 talk [1] (begins around the 30 minute mark). Is the updated/fixed code for Planetary available for reference anywhere?

  Thanks for the video I’ve not seen that one before. There should be a PR up on GitHub somewhere with my fixes (search kemalenver) and you should find it. We had some issues getting it merged. The work Robert and Tom did with it while at bloom was very cool.

Wow, you actually fixed it! Thanks! I remember learning about it from one of Roberts videos and being disappointed that it was not maintained/working at that time.

  Was a joy to do it while I was in lockdown. It’s a bit buggy but generally works if you have an Apple Music library with some albums added. If you have any issues just kill it and start again!
