ExoHabit

ExoHabit is a web + mobile app that helps students, space enthusiasts, and educators explore exoplanets through a practical “habitability scoring” lens. Users can browse a curated catalog (pulled from public NASA archives), then adjust assumptions—stellar activity penalty, atmospheric retention likelihood, tidal locking tolerance, water-world bias—and instantly see how rankings change. The app avoids hype by clearly labeling what’s measured vs inferred, and it shows uncertainty ranges rather than single-number claims. Each planet page includes a plain-language summary, key parameters, confidence flags, and citations back to the source tables. A lightweight AI assistant can answer questions like “Why did this planet drop when I increased flare sensitivity?” but it won’t invent data; it only references the dataset and documented formulas. This is more of an educational decision-tool than a discovery platform, and it should be priced accordingly.
