Given the impact the Sun ☀️ has on all our lives, a tool to predict its availability is surprisingly missing – Shadowmap is here to change that. It visualizes sunlight and solar shadows based on 3D data in a worldwide interactive maps app.

If you’re looking for use cases, in gardening, every type of plant has an “hours of direct sunlight” requirement (easy to plug into a database and it never needs updated) and a seasonal growing zone (determined by location) so not only could you tell someone that the North side of the house gets 7 hours of sunlight, you could even tack on a suggestion that because the N side is a full sun zone 7 they can grow sunflowers and Italian jasmine. Your monetization could be affiliate links to location and even plant specific fertilizers, soil testing kits, etc or you could have a pro level for landscapers (or both) That was just what I wanted to use it for, anyway. Hehe Good luck! This is so cool.

@kikischirr Haha sweet Kiki! Thanks for this idea and we're happy you found such a great use case – for you, and even more that you share it. We had urban gardening in mind but didn't narrow it down to explicit hours in the Sun depending on the plant! Love it! ♥️

@molzer there are those lawncare on demand companies, too. I wonder if they would be interested in some sort of partnership...

@molzer I'm only in my second year so for 3d stuff I'm still using Sketchup sometimes, together with autocad and Infraworks, but those are way more difficult haha edit: Google Earth could help too
