That's a rotation in 3D ;-)

Try a 90 degree rotation around an axis pointing from your nose to your phone.

I assume you would want to rotate.

You can rotate by clicking on the compass.

Are you sure it's not rotated clockwise?

It get even worse when they rotate.

I was unaware that you could rotate things.

orpheansodality Mar 17, 2020 View on HN

wondering if that's just an assumption by the author -- can you not just rotate it 180°?

With the right rotation, any direction can be pointing "up".
