[App][Promo] Scale - Size Comparison: Explore the universe from atoms to galaxies with unlimited zoom!

Hey everyone,

About 10 years ago, I decided to teach myself some basic Android development and created a small app. But to be honest, life got in the way and I totally neglected it for years.

But recently I got some time to update it again. I took my old, outdated project and gave it a massive overhaul. I completely modernized the UI and added a lot of new features. I'm actually really proud of how it turned out, which is why I'm finally stepping out of my comfort zone to promote it here.

What does it do?

It's an interactive tool that lets you compare the true sizes of almost anything in the universe. You can place objects side-by-side or centred to get a real sense of scale. You can pan around and zoom in and out by pinching your fingers or use buttons for a zooming animation.

  • Over 100 Objects: Zoom from the microcosmos (DNA, viruses, quarks) all the way up to deep space (planets, black holes, galaxies, observable universe).
  • Everyday Stuff: Dinosaurs, animals, famous buildings, and even fictional stuff like the Death Star.
  • Custom Objects: You can create your own objects, set the exact size, pick shapes and choose your own colors.

I know I'm not a professional developer and the app itself is relatively simple, but I think it's genuinely interesting to play around with. It's especially great for kids, but I also got some nice feedback from adults. After all, a little education is something the whole world can use!

I'd love to hear your honest feedback. Let me know what you think, and what objects could be interesting to add?
