I want to build an app that notifies me when a plane is flying overhead and gives me info about that plane. Looking at various paid flight tracking APIs, I'm not sure if I can accomplish what I want without making hundreds of useless paid requests at regular intervals or setting up a microcontroller with a microphone programmed to make requests whenever it detects the sound of an aircraft. This makes me really wish that flight tracking websites had screen reader-friendly UIs. Alas, here I am contemplating paying money to fix a problem that shouldn't even exist

@PepperTheVixen@meow.social https://globe.adsb.fi/ does it mostly. @Viss@mastodon.social is always down to talk about flight tracking

I've read a while ago, about someone who leveraged Google infrastructure to do something like SMS their partner when they arrived safely cycling to work.

So maybe look at Google stack if you can do this within existing stack. I think you can make something like 10K Google map API requests per day? (Guessing)

@PepperTheVixen@meow.social consider DIY'ing an ADS-B reciever to grab the data from the local plane and then query based off the identified plane?
