Flight tracker app for Android
Hey all,
I am looking for beta testers for my pet project, a (yet another) app to track your flight history. It started as a learning project for me, and it seems a waste not to show it to anyone. The app is quite simple and completely free - no ads, even - and I intend to keep it that way for as long as possible. This also means it is quite basic and won't get you any push updates on the flight status like Flighty does, for example. Currently, there is a first release that appears to be working fine on my end, but it has not been thoroughly tested (hence the request). To install, you need to join the Google group: groups.google.com/g/fltrckr-app-test. Then, you'll see a single post with a link to Google Play to download and install the app. Even if you install and launch it once, that would be a great help. However, if you actually use it, then it's even better!

Welcome to FT! I downloaded your app on a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. Installed without issue. I love the UI. I use the Tokyo Night Storm UI in VS Code and it has almost the exact same color scheme (which I love). The app looks cool, but unfortunately for me, I haven't kept track of the thousands of flights I've been on in the last few decades. But I'll add some upcoming ones to see how it goes. I'll let you know if I run into any issues. I like the AI flight lookup. Clever idea!
I'm getting ready to make my first Android app with Claude and Gemini. I'm curious if you can share anything about your architecture (frontend, backend, etc.), and maybe anything you've learned. I'm looking to build a OPC UA client that is specific for my company's product. I'm running my app in a PWA right now, but currently it requires me to install the backend on a server somewhere that the PWA app can reach. That's been good for testing, but I really need native app. My backend is in Python where I have a lot of experience, but I don't have much experience with frontend dev, besides a little javascript.
