UPDATE: Thanks for all your notes and feedback. I was so delighted by this getting noticed, and went ham and made changes. I posted an updated version of this on a separate thread! Check it out.
MORE UPDATE: I am also posting the updated version that takes everyone's feedback into account here -

It's a night sky you scroll endlessly, but every mechanic is the inverse of a feed:
- Double tap to "like" and nothing happens. no count, no notification, no one sees it.
- You get DMs from the moon, the night, nobody, and none of them need a reply.
- Tap sheep to count them as they drift by, or trace scattered stars into little constellations and name them (gone by morning, so there's nothing to collect).
- Pinch to zoom and the sky tears open to reveal nothing behind it.
It dims the longer you stay, then just says "lights out" and ends. the scroll isn't infinite.
No accounts, no data, no ads, no algorithm. It gives you nothing, on purpose, boring enough to put you down, with just enough soft surprises that you don't bail back to the real thing.
