Why I built :

Most flight tracking apps have grown increasingly cluttered, ad-heavy, and sluggish on older hardware or busy airspaces. I wanted a fast, stripped-down, responsive flight tracker that prioritizes clean visualization and immediate responsiveness. I built it with a Python/Django backend and a reactive Solid.js frontend using OpenLayers to ensure thousands of live global flight vectors and trajectory animations render smoothly without bogging down the browser.

What feedback would help most:

  1. Performance & Rendering: How smoothly does the map pan, zoom, and animate live flight routes on your machine and connection?

  2. UI & Usability: Are the filters (airport, airspace, altitude, route) intuitive, and is there any key flight telemetry you feel is missing from the interface?

  3. Feature Requests: What data overlays or specialized tracking views would make this tool significantly more useful to you?
