It grew organically.

Initially I made the app as an experiment, just wanted to see how planets rotate and align, and what makes people interested in that. That became the foundation.

Then somebody asked “can I have some extra asteroids and minor bodies added?” This became the first add-on I have introduced.

Each time I can think of an interesting feature, I think “is there enough standalone value to classify it as an add-on?”. The app is organically growing using the methodology of having the core and extensions.

Family sharing? I never really looked into that. I had maybe two requests over the years. It’s just a different kind of user base.
