Love this story. I’m glad you found the app

As the maker of airloom I’m super impressed with this project and would also suggest supporting it. Nice work!

Congrats on the impending launch!

I’m glad you noticed. I’ll still look into pinch zoom for ya regardless

Can you give the iata codes for these? I can only find TMA in ForeFlight, and it looks like it’s uncontrolled airspace so there wouldn’t be anything represented in my app

Done! Use ?airport=nearme

I’ve been using them through their free api, and I got rate limited. So I’ll maybe self-host, or find a paid provider with better tiles

I fixed the altitude scale issue.

Fixed

I’ll have to look into that when renaming this. I didn’t do any product research before, and it looks like there are bike saddles, power generators, and mattresses all with the same name .

Any good name suggestions?

Can you expand on that for me, I’m not sure I understand what you’re getting at

Thanks I still have a lot of optimization to do before this is smooth across the board.

It’s definitely a chrome-first app at this point.

Yeah that is a good move. I’ll add this to the short list

Thanks for the note. I hear you on the zoom pain. What would be your preferred means of zooming?

Thanks for the note and follow!

I’ll have to experiment with a full 3-D globe. The only problem I foresee is the lag associated with rendering the thousands of global flights all at once.
