===== GOAL =====

  * To create a simple and fun app

=== Idea ===

  * Smartphones have GPS and can work as compasses
  * If a phone knows where north is, it can also know where the sun is
  * Why not make a fun clock?
  * Sun clock is on of the oldest types of clocks


=== Problems ===

  * The phone can't know where the sun is without knowing the time
  * it is complicated to calculate more accurate sun position based on latitude
  * GPS works better outdoors for obvious reasons
