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

Oh didn't see the bit about not an app, but an actual alert kind of thing

Looks like they do allow an API too https://www.reddit.com/r/ADSB/comments/16tpldd/announcing_adsbfi_open_data_api_to_give_back_to/
