If Ian doesn't reply please let me know - I'll take a look at the code and try to get it running.

If it's a project that interests you, I recalled one of sunflight's earlier posts which asked if someone might want to take it over. That would be enormously appreciated by those of us who really value this tool.

Hi AlbaGuBrath,

I have setup a copy at - http://sunflight.aedad.es/ - it also has a link where you can fork from the git repo.

Currently, it fails on the validation for this: initFlightRoutes = function(flightdata) { ... }

Cheers Angeloedades - I'm making some good progress and hopefully I can share this with everyone in the next day or so.

Awesome, looking forward to it AlbaGuBrath. Are you able to source control your changes? I would like to maintain a copy as a backup and do some changes too. Are you on git?

All - a working version of the site is now available at https://sunflight.io .

The domain name is very new - so there may be some initial teething issues. If you can't get through to the app, try again tomorrow.

Any issues, queries or feature requests please let me know..

Looks great.

You might want to update the FAQs though :-)

No problems corporate-wage-slave I have spoken to Sunflight via email and have received blessing to continue. This is certainly an awesome tool.

AlbaGuBrath fixed some issues that were fundamental to display the the sun and night thingies. I will be working on the front-end bit.

Hopefully in the end, we will see the same tool replicated on the various sites to help ensure this thing lives on forever!

Same sentiment today.

I agree, thank you very much. It would be terrific if this site can return to functioning properly.

(BTW, shouldn’t this thread be elsewhere in the forums? Seems NOT to be related specifically to BA. Might it get more attention elsewhere? No disrespect intended, perhaps it should be in “Travel Tools”?)

May I please ask whether this tool has now passed into history?

I notice that the old URL pf sunflight.net is still working, but it continues to have the request for adoption so I'm assuming that that's still the old website, and I'm not sure whether the results that it produces will still be accurate.
