At a window seat, learn about what you are flying over
I always wonder what I am flying over on a plane, and beforehand, which side of the plane should I book for the best views.

Currently, covers all routes from Ireland, due to the cost of API access for flight data. Works offline once the route is selected. If you have an RTL-SDR receiver, in time, it will track your live location from the plane's transponder (since GPS can be unavailable inside a plane). Been…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
