Show HN: Sunshine Optimist: Optimistic takes on daylight and sunset times

This is something I built over the holidays to support people having a hard time with the short days and early sunsets. For the past several years I would look up the day lengths and sunset times for my location and identify milestones like “first 5pm sunset”, “1 hour of daylight gained since the winter solstice”, etc. But that manual process also meant I was limited to sharing updates on just my location, and my friends only benefitted when I made a post. I wanted to make a site anyone could come to at any time to get an optimistic message and a milestone to look forward to.

Some features this has:

- Calculation of several possible optimistic headlines. No LLMs used here.

- Offers comparisons to the earliest sunset of the year and shortest day

- Careful consideration of optimistic messaging at all times of year, including after the summer solstice when daylight is being lost

- Static-only site, no ads or tracking. All calculations happen in the browser.
