METAR support

View the METAR weather reports now directly from within the app. Especially useful to get a view on if HEMS aircraft are able to operate in current weather conditions or not 🚦

Update 2025.6 is currently being tested, and will come available by the end of the year!

I do wonder how all these quick AI tools will long term influence indie makers. Yes you can create tools much quicker, but will customers loose trust when they also get abandoned by the maintainers much more quickly (to prompt a new project)?

@ironbrands.bsky.social was leuke podcast! Goed (en bekend) verhaal!
Moet en a) toch eens een keer bij de drinks gaan aansluiten en b) toch nog echt een keer simpel analytics gaan gebruiken πŸ˜…

What apps/sites are people using to track and share spotted planes?

Should I build this?

It’s interesting. Why doesn’t the app need to queue. It also puts strain on the API’s. Ok logging probably persists, but still πŸ€·πŸΌβ€β™‚οΈ

I also use RC and get their β€œmanagementURL” to which I can redirect users (it opens the native subscription management page in settings). They can visit that from within my app. I get near to 0 emails about it. So perhaps I made it too easy, but that’s a good thing imo.

Chart with the line only being in the top segment of the chart, leaving most of the chart empty.

@revenuecat.com is there an option, or can we get an option, to toggle the graph to not start with 0 but with the lowest value in the chart? This graph looses a lot of nuance imo.

First time I’m seeing Waterbomber outrank AirAssist in daily downloads. Winter is normally the low season for both apps, but with the LA fires that changed a bit.

Waterbomer trial starts. You can see when Twitter accounts tracking the LA fires started noticing the app πŸ“ˆ

Haha yeah that wasn’t good either. But at least that doesn’t exist anymore right?

How is a side project from the side project called? And how should we prioritize those against the main side project πŸ˜…

Van eigen (lees: mijn) bodem: @airassist.app, maar dan moet je wel een beetje into hulpdiensten en/of helicopters zijn haha

My userbase is mostly UK and NL, and the fact that it’s now really foggy here for days is visibly affecting downloads of @airassist.app! Never thought off!

Testing different weather providers. The ones that let you easily test the data, actually have poor data quality πŸ₯²
The other ones force me to do sales calls, which I try to prevent.

Showing a notification for Android users on the iPhone build of your app is not the cross platform code share we’ve hoped for πŸ˜…

Yes! Status page shows all good. But loading very slowly for me, and also getting the unicorn error page quite often!

I don’t duplicate! Everything is reused properly. It’s more that, for example, my text input and checkbox component are not visually coherent to each other. I need to tidy up the design. It’s something that needs to happen eventually, but I don’t feel I’m losing user over it atm..

What is the moment you decide to design a full component library for your side project?
I do have components, but the design something’s feels not coherent between (similar) components πŸ˜… doing a full detailed overhaul also feels a bit too low prio atm..
