CabinLink

In plain words

CabinLink is a flight tracking app that connects to in-flight Wi-Fi systems to display real-time flight information on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple Vision Pro. It shows route details, current position, altitude, speed, estimated arrival time, aircraft specifications, and destination weather. The app requires no login, contains no ads, and doesn't need a paid Wi-Fi pass for supported airlines. It continues displaying information even when the cabin connection drops by showing last-known updates.

  Homebrew 6.0.0▲1,481

  Today, I’m proud to announce Homebrew 6.0.0. The most significant changes since 5.1.0 are a new tap trust security mechanism, the new faster, smaller, default internal Homebrew JSON API, sandboxing on Linux, better defaults informed by our user survey, many brew bundle improvements, improved performance and initial support for macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Happy to discuss any questions here!

  Hi HN! I was super frustrated at apps like tiktok and wechat preventing me from saving or downloading the animated gifs, so I made a little tool to turn a screen recording into a slack-sized emoji. Hope you get some value from this!
