Hey Product Hunt! 👋 I built Online Compass because I was frustrated. Every compass app on the App Store and Play Store was either: - Bloated with ads that covered half the screen - Required an account just to see which way is North - Tracked my location and sold it to data brokers - Took 200MB of storage for something my browser can do natively So I asked myself: why can't a compass just... work? In a browser tab? That question turned into Online Compass — a collection of 5 specialized navigation tools that run entirely in your browser using your phone's built-in sensors (magnetometer, accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS). What makes it special: 🔒 Privacy-first: Your coordinates are computed locally in JavaScript and never sent to any server. Open DevTools → Network tab and verify it yourself. 🌍 True North correction: Unlike most compass apps that show raw magnetic heading, we automatically apply the 2025 World Magnetic Model declination for your exact GPS position. This matters — in some cities, Magnetic North is 20° off from True North. 🕋 Purpose-built tools: The Qibla Finder uses great-circle mathematics (not flat-map approximation) to compute the exact bearing to the Kaaba. The Vastu Compass overlays all 16 zones of the Vastu Purusha Mandala with room-placement guidance. 🌐 30+ languages: Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, and more — because navigation is universal. I'd love your feedback! What tools would you like to see next? A sun position calculator? A star compass for night navigation? Let me know 👇
