So ive opened it in the background, will it ping me or send me a notification when a plane travels above me? BTW nice one.
@shahmeer_baloch1 Ah amazing thanks for the message. At the moment the site won't ping a notification when something enters your airspace - however I can certainly work that into the next update :)
@shahmeer_baloch1 Hey Shahmeer - I hope you're good. Just to let you know we've added a new feature 'Sonar Ping' if you tick that box the site will make a subtle 'ping' sound each time a new aircraft enters the scope
@chris_ward9 Yes, checked a few days ago. That's nice ;) Great work and thanks for adding
Fun little project, the retro radar concept is a nice touch. One thing that stood out while testing: your Content-Security-Policy is locked down tight enough that most automated scanners (including standard accessibility ones) can't even inject a script to run against your site. That's unusual, and if intentional, a genuinely strong security posture for a non-commercial side project. Only flagging it because it also means you won't get much automated a11y feedback from tools like this unless you loosen it slightly or self-audit manually. Nice work either way.
The postcode-first approach is what makes this click. Instead of opening a full flight tracker, you get a simple answer to what’s above you right now, which feels much more casual and fun.
@farrukh_butt1 Thanks Farrukh - I really appreciate your comment. Glad you're enjoying it
Sending this to my friend who always wanted to be a pilot and nerds over this. Thanks for building!
@arathy_kushalappa1 Hey Arathy, ah amazing thank you for the lovely feedback
Love this. As a pilot, history buff, and aviation geek, I totally nerd out on this kind of stuff. Very cool UX.
@ron_white Thanks Ron - I've really enjoyed watching all the military aircraft this morning over the North West of the UK
The retro radar aesthetic is a perfect fit for this. Way more fun than a boring list of flights.
@vlad_zabavskiy Thanks Vlad - so glad you're enjoying
